Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Look, aren’t those the Sky and Earth Thunder duo from Sky Thunder Valley: Xu Changgui and Lu Zhang?”

Amidst some exclamations from the surrounding crowd, Yun Xiao immediately confirmed his thoughts, and he surprisingly had some impression of the names ”Xu Changgui” and ”Lu Zhang.”

Because these two were the top geniuses of Sky Thunder Valley, one known as ”Heavenly Thunder Child” and the other as ”Earth Mine”, both had Meridian Qi cultivation at the level of Seeking Origin Realm Middle Stage, far stronger than the Kong brothers who died at Yun Xiao’s hands.

As mentioned earlier, the disciple selection of Lianyun Mountain doesn’t restrict based on background or origin, even other first-class forces, and even super forces like Xuanyin Hall and Wuyan Palace, can send people to participate in Lianyun Mountain’s disciple selection.

This does not conflict with the sect or family of the person participating in the selection; once you become a disciple of Lianyun Mountain, you are still part of your own family sect.

The Meridian Refining Master Association is like a place for cultivation study and won’t impose too many restrictions on you as long as you don’t intend to destroy Lianyun Mountain.

Therefore, it was not strange to see the two thunder sons of Sky Thunder Valley here, but some people, upon hearing the earlier voices, became interested in the so-called ”Heavenly Vine Flower” and wanted to know what it was useful for and why it was so tempting to these two thunder sons.

”What a narrow road for enemies to meet!”

Seeing these two approaching slowly, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself, though he wasn’t too worried. After all, this was already Lianyun Mountain’s territory, and even if these two had more fame than the Kong brothers, they should still restrain themselves somewhat. Moreover, they might not have recognized him.

”Ahaha, you two brothers have sharp eyes. Let me tell you, this Heavenly Vine Flower is something I...”

”Cut the crap, just say how many gold coins you want!”

As the sharp-faced stall owner attempted to once again hype up the preciousness of the Heavenly Vine Flower, Lu Zhang, the Earth Mine, impatiently interrupted, casting a fierce glance at the shabby-clothed boy beside him, holding some special significance.

”Boss, let’s speak frankly. You know whether this Heavenly Vine Flower is real or not, so don’t overcharge us!”

At this moment, Xu Changgui, known as the Heavenly Thunder Child, finally spoke for the first time, with a faint smile on his face. However, the meaning of his words left the onlookers puzzled.

In fact, among the onlookers, besides the few with extraordinary insight like Yun Xiao, very few could tell that the Heavenly Vine Flower was fake. But knowing it was fake, why would these two geniuses from Sky Thunder Valley spend money to buy it?

Even Yun Xiao couldn’t quite understand. Did these two Thunder sons really have such extraordinary perception to discover deeper secrets? It was already difficult for him to obscurely sense those things.

”This...”

Being exposed publicly, the stall owner was quite embarrassed. If it was facing some unknown cultivators, he might have already started cursing, but these two had significant backgrounds and were not to be offended.

”Two... two million gold coins?”

Feeling the gaze of the two Thunder sons, the stall owner hesitantly quoted a selling price, but the final tone seemed more like questioning whether they would agree, lacking any confidence.

Two million gold coins were only worth some half-step Earth Rank advanced Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and still significantly less than genuine Earth Rank advanced ones.

But since the other party had already seen through the Heavenly Vine Flower’s essence, the stall owner didn’t know what to do. In truth, if it was really a fake, even spending a hundred gold coins to buy the Heavenly Vine Flower would be a loss.

”Two million gold coins, huh? That’s not expensive!”

Unexpectedly, when the stall owner thought the other party would bargain or even humiliate him, Xu Changgui, the Heavenly Thunder Child, nodded slightly, then took out a heavy money pouch from his Waist Storage and tossed it onto the stall.

”Give me the Heavenly Vine Flower!”

Xu Changgui naturally exuded an aura of the top genius from Sky Thunder Valley. Coupled with Lu Zhang’s aggressive demeanor beside him, others instinctively complied with his words, the stall owner being no exception.

So after Xu Changgui’s words, the stall owner didn’t hesitate too much, though a trace of doubt and bewilderment lingered in his heart, as today’s event seemed quite strange.

If the other party hadn’t recognized the essence of the Heavenly Vine Flower, believing it to be a true high-level Heavenly treasure, selling it for three or four million gold coins wouldn’t be unusual.

But Xu Changgui’s earlier words made it clear. If revealing the Heavenly Vine Flower as a fake was just to cut half the price, it would leave people puzzled.

This Heavenly Thunder Child didn’t seem like a fool. Since he was willing to spend two million on this Heavenly Vine Flower, he surely wouldn’t make a losing deal. Could there be some unknown secret within the Heavenly Vine Flower?

”Hold on!”

Just as Xu Changgui’s right hand was about to touch the Sky Vine Flower, a voice suddenly came from the side, causing everyone to immediately turn their gaze, wanting to know who dared interrupt the transaction between the two Thunder Valley children at such a time?

”Who is this guy?”

However, upon seeing, besides the two from Thunder Valley, everyone else felt an extreme unfamiliarity towards the boy in coarse clothing who spoke.

But Yun Xiao appeared to be under twenty years old, much younger than the two Thunder Valley children. With such an age, what level could he reach in Meridian Qi Cultivation? So everyone showed a touch of disdain towards him.

”Kid, we haven’t come to find you yet, but you’ve come knocking. Quite brave!”

The irritable Lu Zhang turned his head viciously, and the words from his mouth made the onlookers think deeply. Could it be that these two Thunder Valley children knew the boy in coarse clothes beforehand?

”You know me?”

Even Yun Xiao showed a hint of surprise. He originally thought that these two didn’t recognize him, but now it seems that their sudden appearance here, spending two million gold coins to take the Sky Vine Flower, probably has some of their own reasons involved.

”Haha, Yun Xiao, you killed my Thunder Valley’s three children, how could we not have heard of your name?”

In contrast, that Thunder Child, Xu Changgui, had an unusual smile on his face, but the information contained within his words caused a storm in the hearts of the bystanders.

”Killed the three Thunder Children of Thunder Valley, who exactly is this Yun Xiao?”

Many faces changed drastically. Thunder Valley is one of the thirteen first-class forces on the Tenglong Continent, even holding a dominant position in the Southeast Territory. Ordinary people dare not provoke them easily.

But the boy named Yun Xiao in front of them, not only provoked them but also killed three of the five Thunder Children of Thunder Valley. His courage is not ordinary.

From this, it also becomes evident that the sudden appearance of these two Thunder Valley children here might be because of Yun Xiao. As for the so-called Sky Vine Flower, that can be overlooked for now.

”Oh? Since you know I killed the three Thunder Children of Thunder Valley, don’t you want revenge?”

Yun Xiao was also somewhat confused, so he directly asked. This conversation sounded strange to everyone; shouldn’t these two parties be in an undying feud?

”Just a few worthless souls; dead is just dead. This is Lianyun Mountain, after all. We must show some respect to the Meridian Refining Master Association!”

Xu Changgui still maintained a faint smile, but no one would believe he truly didn’t care about this matter; perhaps the latter explanation is the real reason he hasn’t acted.

”Although they are worthless, not just anyone can kill them at will. Once this selection ends, I, Xu Changgui, will personally act to reclaim the honor belonging to Thunder Valley!”

Xu Changgui’s smile gradually withdrew, then he continued to extend his hand, wanting to grab the Sky Vine Flower, but at this moment, Yun Xiao spoke once more.

”Brother Xu spent two million gold coins to buy this... Sky Vine Flower, you must have discovered something, right?”

Not dwelling on the deceased Thunder Valley children, Yun Xiao suddenly spoke, causing Xu Changgui’s right hand fingers to stiffen slightly. The action of almost grabbing the Sky Vine Flower came to a sudden halt.

”Brother Xu, don’t blame me for not warning you. If you really come into contact with this fake Sky Vine Flower, you might end up like the stall owner, with a short-lived fate!”

A spark flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and his words made everyone present stunned, but soon they showed a touch of mockery, thinking the kid was wildly exaggerating.

”Oh? You have quite an eye!”

On the contrary, after hearing those words, Xu Changgui’s right hand retracted, his gaze sweeping over Yun Xiao, seemingly wanting to know the reason why the other saw through the true nature of the Sky Vine Flower.

”Senior Brother, you don’t actually believe this kid’s nonsense, do you? I don’t believe this junk can really take my life!”

As soon as Xu Changgui spoke calmly, the impatient Lu Zhang couldn’t hold back. He was a hot-tempered person, expressing all his emotions without the restraint of Xu Changgui’s subtle mindset.

After Lu Zhang’s words fell, his entire figure moved directly forward a few steps, grabbing the fake Sky Vine Flower before Xu Changgui and immediately turning around, glaring viciously at the boy in coarse clothing, as if trying to prove something.

”Junior Brother, you...”

Seeing Lu Zhang jump forward himself, grabbing the Sky Vine Flower without hesitation, Xu Changgui frowned. Although he also somewhat disbelieved Yun Xiao’s words, his usual caution brought a silent unease to his heart.
