Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Even if strictly speaking, the Half-step Origin Seeking Realm is still at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, the disparity between the two is incomparable. It is a process of stimulating Earth Power and transforming Earth Essence.

Lv Xiaoman and Tang Gu have come through this stage and certainly know how vast the difference is, so they both believe that the rough-clothed young man will probably die with his muscles broken and bones shattered in the next moment.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a loud sound suddenly rang out, and then everyone present, including those in the distance like Qi Hu or Song Monkey, saw a figure flying backward at great speed, finally crashing into the outer wall of a house by the street and slowly sliding down.

”Pfft!”

That figure flying backward was naturally Wang Gu. He overestimated himself by trying to kill Yun Xiao with physical strength, yet he didn’t even know the word ”death.”

Not to mention that Yun Xiao’s cultivation has now reached the Half-step Earth Realm; even if he were truly at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, comparing physical strength alone, he far surpasses what Wang Gu can handle.

Thus, under Yun Xiao’s kick, Wang Gu appeared physically unharmed, but in reality, his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs had been blasted to smithereens by that extremely strong force, making it impossible for him to survive.

For such a random person who came looking for trouble, and with the intention to kill him from the first move, Yun Xiao surely wouldn’t hold back, or perhaps he wanted to slay the chicken to scare the monkeys, ensuring no further trouble within the Lv Family team.

”This...”

The scene, entirely different and even opposite from what was imagined, left Lv Xiaoman and Tang Gu briefly speechless.

The Lv Family Elders and recruited cultivators also took their gaze away from Wang Gu, focusing on the rough-clothed young man.

If it were done unexpectedly, someone like Tang Gu and Lv Xiaoman, who are Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage cultivators, could achieve this too, but definitely not as effortlessly as Yun Xiao.

Moreover, it was Wang Gu who initially attacked, yet unexpectedly, this rough-clothed young man was faster, killing Wang Gu with a single kick, proving that the young man’s strength is at least equivalent to Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage.

Even Family Head Lv An, who had sensed some unusual aura from Yun Xiao, was amazed by that kick, while a glint flashed deep in his eyes. He secretly thought that such talent must be recruited into the Lv Family camp no matter what. If recruitment is unsuccessful, then...

”Hey, this guy, turns out he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!”

Lv Xiaoman, the eldest Miss of the Lv Family, who had felt disdain upon seeing Yun Xiao initially, now had her pretty face filled with deep interest instead of disdain.

”Humph, it’s just killing a Half-step Origin Seeking Realm guy. If it were me, Wang Gu wouldn’t even have the chance to strike!”

Seeing the expression on his junior sister, Tang Gu felt a sudden pang of jealousy, as if sensing a vague threat from that one called Star. In his heart, he’d long viewed his junior sister as his own prize.

Lv Xiaoman is beautiful and has strong cultivation talent. You could say she and Tang Gu are childhood sweethearts, and even Family Head Lv An believes that, barring unforeseen events, his treasured daughter and favorite disciple will inevitably come together in life as a Taoist couple.

Therefore, Tang Gu would never allow any unexpected occurrences, and now that amazing kick from the young man had earned his junior sister’s praise, the highly jealous Tang Gu has already developed a deep-seated hatred toward the rough-clothed young man.

Sometimes people’s thoughts are strange; you never know when you’ll unknowingly offend someone, like Wang Gu just now or Tang Gu, whom Yun Xiao is unaware of.

However, even if Yun Xiao knew Tang Gu’s thoughts, he wouldn’t care much. He wouldn’t even bother with Family Head Lv An, let alone the younger generation.

Considering Yun Xiao’s current strength, not just among the young generation of this small Wuchuan City but across the entire Tenglong Continent, even the top talents like Gu Changsheng or Long Xiwawa have to avoid him and dare not provoke him.

”Family Head Lv, when will we depart?”

Just slaying a Half-step Origin Seeking Realm guy wasn’t worth Yun Xiao’s attention, so he leisurely turned around and softly asked Lv An, his thoughts still focused on the Secret Treasure at the bottom of Yanji Lake.

”We have just about enough people, and we can set off right away!”

Lv An originally wanted to recruit a few more Origin Seeking Realm cultivators, but for some reason, after witnessing Yun Xiao’s kick just now, he suddenly felt the manpower was sufficient.

”Then let’s go!”

Regarding this, Yun Xiao was extremely satisfied. If Lv An had planned to spend a few more days here recruiting people, he might have reconsidered whether to find another team.

Wuchuan City was still bustling, and with the strength of Lv An and his group, naturally, no one dared to provoke them. In fact, many teams had already entered the Yanji Mountain Range where Yanji Lake was located, not just those from Wuchuan City.

Departing from the West Gate of Wuchuan City, in less than half a day, Yun Xiao followed the Lv Family members into the Yanji Mountain Range. With the map he bought from the Shenxiao Sect, he knew that the Lv Family Head did not take the wrong path.

Bang!

Several days later, deep within the Yanji Mountain Range, a massive shadow flew backward, finally crashing into a tree big enough for several people to embrace, and slid down powerlessly, clearly lifeless.

Judging by the size of the massive shadow, it was indeed a Vein Demon that had reached the Eighth Rank Low Level, and it was surprisingly Tang Gu, the proud disciple of the Lv Family Head, who slew this Vein Demon.

One should know that Tang Gu was only at the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage, half a step away from breaking through to the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage, yet he killed a genuine Eighth Rank Low Level Vein Demon. It must be said that his combat prowess was indeed extraordinary.

”Tsk, tsk, Senior Brother’s cultivation seems to have improved a bit again. I reckon it won’t be long before he breaks through to the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage, right?”

Seeing Tang Gu still standing tall despite being slightly out of breath, Lv Xiaoman clapped and praised, making the former quite pleased. After all, he had exerted all his strength to kill an Eighth Rank Low Level Vein Demon just to show off in front of his Junior Sister and receive some compliments.

”Junior Sister overpraises me, but compared to certain people who don’t even dare lift a finger against a Vein Demon, I must admit I’m much stronger!”

A flash of pride passed through Tang Gu’s eyes. His first words were self-effacing, but then his gaze suddenly turned to a certain young man in coarse clothing, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.

As Tang Gu said, since entering the Yanji Mountain Range, they had encountered many Vein Demon attacks, and each time Yun Xiao had not intervened.

Although those Seventh Rank Vein Demons were easily dealt with, at this moment, it became Tang Gu’s means of ridiculing Yun Xiao.

To everyone, since the day Yun Xiao kicked Wang Gu to death, he hadn’t taken action again, like people such as Tang Gu, many speculated he was just incredibly lucky, catching Wang Gu off guard, and that his true cultivation might not be that strong.

”Senior Brother, don’t say that. I think Brother Star disdains to deal with these low-level Vein Demons!”

For some reason, the initially extremely contemptuous Lv Xiaoman towards Yun Xiao was now speaking on his behalf, which instantly soured Tang Gu’s previously pleased mood.

The truth wasn’t that Lv Xiaoman really developed some feelings for Yun Xiao, nor that she valued this rough-clothed young man’s strength highly. She was actually provoked by Yun Xiao’s attitude.

One should know that Lv Xiaoman was not only beautiful but also possessed cultivation talent comparable to top talents of first-class forces. Moreover, with her father Lv An as a powerhouse at the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage, she was adored like a star in Wuchuan City and even its surroundings.

Although Tang Gu considered himself childhood sweethearts with his Junior Sister and believed they would eventually be together, it was just his wishful thinking.

Regarding Tang Gu’s admiration, Lv Xiaoman never gave a clear response, keeping a distance that left him yearning.

Over the years, many people who didn’t know the inside story from Wuchuan City, or some outstanding young talents from surrounding cities, admired Lv Xiaoman’s beauty or appreciated her cultivation talent, or hoped to attach themselves to her background, came to the Lv Family to propose marriage.

For those not up to her standards, Lv Xiaoman naturally disregarded them. However, there were talents whose conditions were no less than Tang Gu’s. Once, even a talent from Firewood Valley came to propose marriage.

Lv Xiaoman never explicitly refused talents not inferior to Tang Gu, just maintaining the same attitude towards them as she did with Tang Gu, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of manipulating countless men, which gave her a perverse sense of achievement.

But this newly joined Lv Family camp, the boy named Star with seemingly decent strength, didn’t show the slightest admiration for her.

This made Lv Xiaoman both angry and secretly determined to make this ”pretentious” guy fall for her.

Thus, Lv Xiaoman unintentionally distanced herself from her senior brother Tang Gu, instead finding excuses to talk to Yun Xiao, causing Tang Gu to gnash his teeth several times.

Of course, Tang Gu dared not lose his temper with his Junior Sister, so all his resentment was directed towards Yun Xiao, making the latter suffer this unwarranted disaster. It must be said that sometimes, beauty as a curse is not just a casual saying.

Don’t be fooled by Lv Xiaoman’s young age. Growing up in the chaotic place of Wuchuan City and encountering countless young handsome admirers after adulthood, she might be more proficient in matters of romantic relationships than women who have lived for decades or even a hundred years.
