Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Kid, you dare to kill my second brother, I, Pan Lianhu, swear that I’ll make you beg for death but find no escape even in life!”

Seeing Lv An defeated by Zhu Anshan, Pan Lianhu’s fear of Yun Xiao vanished instantly. After all, they had a powerhouse at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm on their side.

Moreover, now Lv An and Lv Song and several Great Elders on the Lv Family’s side were severely injured. In Pan Lianhu’s view, the situation was still under Tiger Roar Manor’s control, and they still had dozens of helpers surrounding them.

If Pan Lianhu had to fight solo against that kid called Xing, he might still hesitate, but with Zhu Anshan on board, he believed the kid couldn’t possibly leave the Yanji Mountain Range alive.

”Old Zhu, that kid is somewhat strange; let’s join forces and check him out!”

Although Pan Rulong relied entirely on Ren Qian these years, he wasn’t a fool. After speaking with a chilling tone, he turned to Zhu Anshan with intense Meridian Qi aura emanating from him.

”To deal with a young brat, is joint effort necessary?”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Anshan, confident as a powerhouse at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, felt little threat even after Yun Xiao kicked Ren Qian of the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage to death.

After all, Zhu Anshan knew Ren Qian well—Ren Qian excelled in schemes, but his combat prowess in Meridian Qi Cultivation was weaker compared to ordinary cultivators at the same level, let alone Zhu Anshan, renowned for living on the edge.

Zhu Anshan, known as Wuchuan Butcher, had countless battles since his fame, with combat experience far surpassing Ren Qian’s. He felt he could also kick Ren Qian to death easily.

Therefore, that kid called Xing could only possess the cultivation at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, matching Zhu Anshan’s level, so why would Zhu fear him?

With confidence, Zhu Anshan believed he stood equal against any top-level talent from the four major powers due to his combat style.

As Wuchuan Butcher, Zhu Anshan’s fighting method was highly extreme; many opponents thought he intended to perish together, not realizing that they were the ones at risk, while Zhu Anshan remained unscathed.

After emitting a cold laugh, Zhu Anshan advanced first, even ahead of Pan Lianhu, approaching Yun Xiao, when suddenly he noticed a flash of fiery red light in his eyes, as something seemed to leap from Yun Xiao’s shoulder.

”It’s Brother Star’s demon pet!”

Lv Xiaoman, who had been keeping an eye on Yun Xiao, keenly recognized the fiery red mouse on Yun Xiao’s shoulder and exclaimed in surprise.

Honestly, since meeting Yun Xiao in Wuchuan City, they had observed the somewhat lazy fiery red mouse on Yun Xiao’s shoulder, but including Lv An, no one perceived Chi Yan as a formidable Vein Demon.

The Fire Cloud Rat’s body concealed space; its ability to hide strength was perhaps superior to Yun Xiao’s, and Chi Yan had reached Ninth Rank low-level, a realm Lv An’s gang at the Seeking Origin level couldn’t discern.

Moreover, Chi Yan’s small stature and aside from the unique color, resembled a typical household rodent, never expected to demonstrate thunderous power upon action.

”What the hell is that thing?”

As Lv Xiaoman closely observed Yun Xiao, she identified the demon pet, but Zhu Anshan, the one in action, only perceived a flash of red, showing a change of expression.

Despite looking the strongest in the field, Zhu Anshan only had the cultivation at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm. Facing Chi Yan, akin to an Earth Bending Realm powerhouse, the outcome was imaginable.

Boom!

Chi Yan didn’t need to enlarge; a fiery beam flashed by, followed by a loud crash, as Zhu Anshan’s body flew backward at high speed, a scene familiar to all spectators.

Earlier, Xing kicked away Yu Wu and Ren Qian alike, and now although the striker changed, Zhu Anshan’s fate matched Yu Wu and Ren Qian without any difference.

”Pfft!”

Arterial blood spurted from Zhu Anshan’s mouth, with Chi Yan seemingly adjusting the position and force identical to Yun Xiao’s previous two kicks.

Seeing fragments of internal organs amidst Zhu Anshan’s bloody spray, everyone knew the Wuchuan Butcher, wreaking havoc years ago in Wuchuan City, had reemerged suddenly, but couldn’t survive.

”What kind of Vein Demon is that?”

Watching Zhu Anshan’s breathless fall to the ground, faces of fear surfaced on people like Lv An, as they had underestimated Yun Xiao and never considered the seemingly feeble mouse demon pet on his shoulder significant.

Unbeknownst to them, this tiny mouse demon pet’s action was even more terrifying than Xing himself, eliminating the Peak Wuchuan Butcher in one blow, leading many to gasp at a realization.

”Could it be a Ninth Rank Vein Demon?”

Lv An’s face turned even paler, and his heart was filled with regret. If he had known earlier how strong Star’s power was, and that there might be a Ninth Rank Demon Pet, he would have stopped Tang Gu’s provocation at all costs. Offending such a prominent figure could only spell disaster.

”Now, do you still want to avenge your second brother?”

Yun Xiao seemed to have done something trivial. He didn’t even glance at the deceased Zhu Anshan but turned his head toward Pan Lianhu, who had come to a halt not far away, speaking with a half-smile.

”This person is too strong, I must escape!”

Gazed upon by Yun Xiao’s peculiar eyes, Pan Lianhu felt his whole body shiver. He knew that if he didn’t make a quick decision, his fate wouldn’t be any better than Zhu Anshan’s and Ren Qian’s.

Swoosh!

However, Pan Lianhu’s decision was already too late, and he was too close to a certain presence. A flash of fiery red light shot by, and his body, just having turned around, flew backward like a kite with a broken string, landing lifeless on the ground.

”The Manor Master is dead?!”

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators gathered by Tiger Roar Manor and Ren Qian turned pale, exchanged fearful glances, and fled like startled birds. The coarse-clothed boy and his Demon Pet had frightened them out of their wits.

It’s a joke; even Zhu Anshan and two Manor Masters couldn’t withstand a single blow from him. Although they were numerous, they knew they stood no chance if they attacked all at once against him and his demon.

Although these people were desperados, nobody was foolish enough to fight a hopeless battle. Moreover, their friendship with Pan Lianhu and Ren Qian wasn’t strong enough to die for them. Nobody wanted to throw their life away needlessly.

In an instant, the forest was left with only Yun Xiao, the six Lv Family Members, and those whom the Lv Family had enlisted. But now their faces were all awkward and unsightly.

”Lv... Family Head, Yu Wu was actually a spy sent by Tiger Roar Manor. We were just momentarily deceived...”

After a long silence, one finally mustered up the courage to speak, but as he spoke, he couldn’t even justify himself. Everyone saw their betrayal earlier with their own eyes.

If Yun Xiao and his Demon Pet hadn’t suddenly displayed their might, those cultivators who were originally recruited by the Lv Family would have certainly added insult to injury in that situation instead of being so timid now.

As he spoke, his eyes flickered toward the coarse-clothed boy with a calm expression or the rat-shaped Vein Demon on his shoulder that now seemed harmless, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

These few knew that the Lv Family was no threat now. As long as the boy didn’t pursue them, at worst, they could walk away. The injured Lv Family members couldn’t hold them back.

”You still have the face to claim you were deceived. If it weren’t for Brother Star, the Lv Family would have been doomed by you!”

Lv An’s chest heaved with anger, but he knew who now dominated the scene. After these words, his gaze shifted to Yun Xiao.

”Brother Star, how do you think we should deal with them?”

This Family Head, a local dominator in Wuchuan City, was now being cautious. He understood that the fearsome boy likely didn’t have any fondness for the Lv Family and didn’t want to provoke him again.

”They didn’t attack me, so what does it have to do with me?”

To Lv An’s surprise, Yun Xiao merely glanced at him lightly and said something that caused the Lv Family members’ faces to change slightly, while those other cultivators were filled with joy.

All these people also thought perhaps this terrifying boy named Star never intended to get involved. It was just that Yu Wu, Ren Qian, Zhu Anshan, and Pan Lianhu had all invited disaster upon themselves, prompting him to act decisively.

Thinking this, the cultivators felt secretly relieved. Thankfully, they didn’t act on Yu Wu’s cue; otherwise, they likely would have ended up as cold corpses like Zhu Anshan and Ren Qian.

”Hmph, Brother Star is benevolent and won’t hold it against you. Now, aren’t you going to leave? Just don’t let me see you again in Wuchuan, otherwise...”

Seeing Yun Xiao seemingly not wanting to kill anymore, Lv An, being a clear-sighted person, gave a stern shout, granting them relief. After casting a covert glance at Yun Xiao, they scattered like birds.

In truth, the real reason Lv An didn’t act against them now was that he and all the Lu Family Elders were seriously injured. Just Tang Gu and Lv Xiaoman alone might not be a match for them.

And as the East City Dominator in Wuchuan City, Lv An was no softhearted saint. He had already memorized their appearance and names, and after the business at Yanji Lake was settled, he wouldn’t let the matter rest.
