Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Hehe, people from Huomu Valley, Shenxiao Sect, and the Zhao Family have all come. I wonder if the Twin Mountains, the overlord of the Northern Domain, will also send someone?”

Among the many cultivators watching, naturally, there were those with broad knowledge. One middle-aged cultivator, after recognizing the powerful figures from the three major forces, showed a look of emotion with a hint of anticipation.

This is the junction of Xuanyin Hall, Wuyan Palace, and Demons Mountain. Setting aside the two top forces, Wuyan Palace and Xuanyin Hall, the strongest power in the Northern Domain of the Tenglong Continent’s periphery is likely still the Twin Mountains.

The so-called Twin Mountains naturally refer to Demons Mountain and Thunder Sound Mountain. Their ranking is before the Three Gates and Three Valleys, and their overall strength is much stronger than Huomu Valley or Shenxiao Sect.

It is said that Demons Mountain can even compete with top forces like the Spirit Fighting Commerce. Over the years, the ongoing battles between the two have not seen Demons Mountain fall to a definite disadvantage, showcasing the strength of this sect.

As for Thunder Sound Mountain, it is located in the Northwest Outer Domain of the Tenglong Continent. It is rumored that the cultivators there practice a Mahayana Secret Sect method, and their combat methods differ greatly from ordinary cultivators.

Bang!

Just as these unusual thoughts rose in everyone’s hearts, a loud noise suddenly came from a certain direction, drawing all eyes towards it. Upon seeing, their expressions changed slightly.

Because there, three figures looking somewhat strange appeared, they were monks with not a single hair on their heads, wearing earthy yellow robes. Their exposed arms faintly emitted a yellow glow, appearing incredibly powerful.

”It’s the ’Eight-Armed Arhat’ Zong Puti from Thunder Sound Mountain!”

Seeing these oddly dressed bald monks, others had yet to react, but Wu Tong’s heart chilled, and he spoke in a low voice, instantly letting Jun Tieshu and Song Jianzi beside him know who had arrived.

In Thunder Sound Mountain, those who achieve the Earth Bending Realm are called ”Arhats,” and those who break through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm are called ”Venerables,” maybe these are special titles of the Mahayana Secret Sect.

Though Wu Tong had never seen the Eight-Armed Arhat Zong Puti, he was long known by his reputation. It is said that his expertise lies in speed, with a strike like having eight arms, making it extremely hard to discern, leaving people defenseless.

Yet, this Eight-Armed Arhat from Thunder Sound Mountain, while incredibly fast, also possesses remarkable physical defensive power. It seems they cultivate some kind of protective divine skill, which can be activated during enemy attacks to protect vital points, eventually turning defeat into victory.

Previously, Huomu Valley and Thunder Sound Mountain were far apart, so no conflicts erupted. But now gathering by Yanji Lake, anyone not from one’s own sect could be a potential rival.

Not just Wu Tong’s side, even the two from Shenxiao Sect and the Zhao Family had a heavy look in their eyes. Compared to Huomu Valley, perhaps Zhao Huai’an from the Zhao Family is more wary of the Eight-Armed Arhat from Thunder Sound Mountain.

”Amitabha, Master Jia’s speed is much faster than this old monk!”

It seems this Eight-Armed Arhat Zong Puti is familiar with Jia Tianshu from Shenxiao Sect, greeting in this moment with no trace of hostility in his tone.

Though Thunder Sound Mountain and the headquarters of Shenxiao Sect are neighbors, their relationship is unlike that of Huomu Valley and the Zhao Family on the other side. There is no major conflict between them.

Firstly, because Thunder Sound Mountain does not cause trouble, as long as others don’t provoke them, they won’t act. Secondly, Shenxiao Sect is the intelligence hub of the continent, and often Thunder Sound Mountain seeks their aid.

Because Shenxiao Sect, due to its unique status, gets along well with many forces on the continent. Even the four top forces don’t easily offend this mighty Shenxiao Sect.

Since offending them might result in having one’s own information sold to enemies immediately.

”Hehe, I didn’t expect Master Puti to be interested in what’s inside Yanji Lake!”

Jia Tianshu’s face showed a faint smile, though his words carried a deeper meaning, somewhat sarcastically hinting at Thunder Sound Mountain’s reclusive monks, wondering how they had traveled so far to reach Yanji Lake.

”Coincidentally, this old monk happened to pass by with two disciples, and upon hearing of unusual activity in Yanji Lake, came to take a look. It was not intentional!”

Zong Puti could naturally discern Jia Tianshu’s implied sarcasm, though the truth of his words was hard to judge, given the strong figures from several major forces wouldn’t believe it casually.

For a strong figure at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, many important tasks await. If it wasn’t intentional, how could they just happen to pass by ordinarily quiet Yanji Lake? Moreover, with the core of Yanji Lake being the Yanji Mountain Range, passing by would be impossible even if intended.

”Caw!”

In the midst of this pointless conversation, a clear demon chirp suddenly came from the sky, causing everyone to instinctively look up. Then they saw two black dots flying in from afar, and their hearts couldn’t help but stir.

”Could it be the Flying Beast Pulse Demon from the Myriad Demon Mountain?”

A thought had already risen in some people’s hearts, and as those two black spots grew larger, their suspicions were finally confirmed, because they had already seen several figures standing on the backs of the Flying Beast Pulse Demons in the sky.

Whoosh whoosh...

Gusts of wind struck their faces as two enormous Flying Beast Pulse Demons descended from high above. On one of the Flying Beast Pulse Demons leaped down a figure with somewhat aging features, while on the other were two young men who didn’t seem very old.

”It’s Luo Fusheng and Xiao Ming!”

As for those two young people, Jun Tieshu, Nie Xiaosheng, and the others weren’t too unfamiliar, as they had recently interacted in Xuanyin Hall and left quite an impression.

As for the elderly man whose aura was terrifying, Jun Tieshu and Zhao Ling didn’t have much of an impression, but they were able to see the solemn expression on the face of the Elder beside them, immediately knowing that the man had quite the background.

”Brother Wanli, I didn’t expect Myriad Demon Mountain to send you this time, it seems they truly value that Yanji Lake!”

Jia Tianshu from the Shenxiao Sect flashed a glint of fear in his eyes, and from his words, everyone knew who the elder who leaped from the Flying Beast Pulse Demon was.

”Ge Wanli, a peak-level expert from the middle stage of the Earth Bending Realm, and also a high-level Earth Rank Beast Vein Master!”

When these pieces of information surfaced in everyone’s minds, they all realized the status of this elder from Myriad Demon Mountain was likely far higher than Wu Tong and others.

After all, not only was this elder Ge Wanli’s own cultivation surpassing Jia Tianshu and others, he also possessed a Flying Bird Demon Pet of similar level, which meant something completely different.

Before reaching the Third Realm of Heaven Rank, human cultivators are absolutely unable to fly. At this point, having a Flying Bird Demon Pet with strength similar to its master’s meant that this Beast Vein Master was at least invincible at the same level.

If defeated, one could simply rely on a Flying Beast Pulse Demon to soar upwards — who could stop them?

Although many Earth Bending Realm experts have their own vein spirits, the spirit battles consume their master’s meridian qi, which strictly speaking, cannot be counted as two forces of combat.

But the demon pets tamed by these Beast Vein Masters from Myriad Demon Mountain are different — they are actual vein demon combat power, and vein demons at the same level are much more formidable than human cultivators.

It’s safe to say that as soon as Ge Wanli arrived, everyone present was intimidated; even though those two Flying Beast Pulse Demons had already soared into the clouds, at least they knew that as long as this elder from Myriad Demon Mountain beckoned, the Flying Beast Pulse Demon would strike down from the sky.

This is the power of Beast Vein Masters. Though taming a powerful vein demon is not easy, once tamed, combat power increases exponentially.

However, not everyone can become a Beast Vein Master; this special branch of Meridian Refining Masters is more complex than Medical Pulse and Poison Vein — without certain talent and perseverance, one is simply eliminated.

”Ha, Yanji Lake is right under Myriad Demon Mountain’s nose. With such a great change, Myriad Demon Mountain has no reason to sit idly by!”

Upon hearing the alluding words of Jia Tianshu, Ge Wanli chuckled a reply, implying that with Myriad Demon Mountain involved, everyone’s chances of acquiring something from Yanji Lake just became smaller.

”Hmph, you have quite the nerve!”

Just as everyone was feeling apprehensive because of Ge Wanli’s arrival, an angry voice suddenly came from somewhere, drawing everyone’s attention.

When everyone turned their heads, they immediately saw several figures striding over. Besides an elderly man emanating Fire Attribute aura in the lead, he was accompanied by two extremely distinct young individuals.

One was extremely tall and sturdy, akin to half an iron tower, standing there with an intense sense of oppression; as for the other, he looked like a ten-year-old child, but no one treated him as an real child.

”The Wuyan Child Demon Long Xiwawa, and Fire Tower Duan Wuya!”

Talents like Jun Tieshu and Nie Xiaosheng naturally weren’t unfamiliar with these two — the brawny one and the young one were No Flame Palace’s two most outstanding young talents, whose strength was definitely not inferior.

”You may have forgotten that this is the ancestral land of our No Flame Palace, everything within the Yanji Lake area belongs to No Flame Palace. Anyone daring to touch it is declaring war with No Flame Palace!”

The elderly man standing in front of Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya glanced faintly at the surrounding slightly unmindful people, his domineering words spreading out, causing a change in the faces of many powerful individuals from first-class forces — No Flame Palace was indeed overly domineering!
