Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The Star-picking Tower stands a thousand feet tall, its peak soars into the clouds, and its end is beyond sight. Such a scenario of someone barging in hasn’t happened for many years.

The most recent instance was decades ago when Yun Changtian from the Moon God Palace sneaked into the tower and stole the Supreme Treasure Blood Moon Jade; however, such matters were only circulated among the high levels of the Star-picking Tower, with most low-level practitioners and disciples completely unaware of the details.

But now, an Inverted Celestial River crashed down, shattering a corner of the tower floor brazenly, and the impolite remarks of that person ignited righteous indignation among countless cultivators of the Star-picking Tower.

Boom!

At this moment, the entire Star-picking Tower suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying aura, and as this aura soared into the sky, it even dimmed the bright sky slightly, and sparse starlight could be seen in broad daylight.

”It’s the Tower Master, the Tower Master has actually appeared, who exactly is the intruder?”

The transformation in heaven and earth caused many powerhouses of the Star-picking Tower to change their expressions, knowing that the Tower Master is the supreme existence of the Star-picking Tower, unlikely to be seen even by its elders.

No one expected that the Tower Master would actually show himself in response to the intruder’s provocation, allowing everyone to speculate that this person must not be insignificant.

”Could it be the Hall Master of Fierce Sun Palace? Or the Palace Master of Moon God Palace?”

Some people were fantasizing that besides the other two major forces’ Sovereigns, no one would have the qualification to make the Tower Master appear personally.

Swish!

Outside the Star-picking Tower, a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe appeared abruptly in the sky, seemingly with starlight spots on him, looking a bit mysterious.

But upon seeing this black-robed figure, all the cultivators of the Star-picking Tower showed a fervent expression, for this is none other than the supreme Tower Master: Luo Tianxing!

”Ancestor Xuanhe, my Star-picking Tower seems not to have offended you, correct? Why did you damage the eaves of my tower?”

In the sky, Luo Tianxing glanced at the corner of the tower shattered by the Inverted Celestial River, showing not the slightest anger on his face, until his loud voice boomed, causing those cultivators of the Star-picking Tower, who hadn’t recognized the river, to suddenly realize.

”Xuanhe? Could it be the legendary Ancestor Xuanhe?”

At this moment, many people gasped, for this person is a legendary figure famously known in the Li Yuan Realm, and if it were him, indeed he would have the qualification to stand on par with the Star-picking Tower Master Luo Tianxing.

”Hmph, not offended? Luo Tianxing, my disciple is still within your Star-picking Tower, if she loses a single hair, don’t blame me for ignoring the bond from years ago!”

Following Luo Tianxing’s words, a cold snort resounded, and then a gray, aging figure appeared. Listening to his words, it was precisely the legendary powerful yet elusive Ancestor Xuanhe.

Ancestor Xuanhe wore a casual gray cloth robe, looking carefree and relaxed. Despite the anger on his aged face, it was shining with brilliance, appearing rather elusive against the backdrop of the Inverted Celestial River.

”Your disciple? You old guy, when did you accept a disciple?”

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing was slightly taken aback. He and Ancestor Xuanhe once collaborated on a major affair, having a past bond.

Since then, he knew this person’s eye for talent was superior to his own, never finding a young genius worthy over these years.

”Enough talk, I can feel it, she is right there!”

Ignoring Luo Tianxing’s inquiry entirely, Ancestor Xuanhe directly extended his hand, pointing to the base of the Star-picking Tower, exactly where a few people had just ascended from the dungeon.

Swoosh!

Just as Luo Tianxing’s mind stirred, the sound of breaking wind echoed again, and by his side appeared a familiar figure, precisely Yin Buqun, the Great Elder of the Star-picking Tower.

”Great Elder, what’s going on?”

With Yin Buqun coming from where Ancestor Xuanhe pointed, Luo Tianxing’s expression changed, unaware of what was really happening, even suspecting that this Great Elder might inadvertently have taken the disciple of Ancestor Xuanhe, causing real trouble.

”Tower Master, it’s like this...”

Facing the Tower Master of the Star-picking Tower, Yin Buqun dared not hide anything, recounting what Ning Fu had just said, causing a flash of brilliance in Luo Tianxing’s eyes.

Years ago, Yun Changtian infiltrated the Star-picking Tower and stole the Blood Moon Jade, an event Luo Tianxing and other powerhouses of the Star-picking Tower considered a great humiliation, continuously seeking the whereabouts of Yun Changtian and the jade over the years.

Regarding the past event of Shen Xingmou safeguarding Shang Li, Luo Tianxing was also aware, loving his treasured disciple greatly, he chose to turn a blind eye to it.

If Yun Wei were just an ordinary girl, Luo Tianxing might tightly seize this lead, thereby enticing Yun Changtian to appear, but the involvement of an Ancestor Xuanhe has changed the situation.

”Tower Master, this matter is fundamentally their fault in the first place. Are we, the Star-picking Tower, holding the right ground, and yet still afraid of just one Xuanhe Patriarch?”

Yin Buqun, feeling a bit discontented, whispered in a low voice to Luo Tianxing, but as soon as he spoke, Xuanhe Patriarch’s face not far away changed.

”What did you say?”

A furious shout burst from Xuanhe Patriarch’s mouth. Immediately, with a slight movement, the inverted celestial river in the sky suddenly stirred, making Yin Buqun instantly feel immense pressure, as if facing the Tower Master himself.

”Brother Xuanhe, please calm down!”

Luo Tianxing’s hand slightly changed the seal, causing the angry celestial river to come to a halt. Consequently, Yin Buqun suddenly felt the pressure lift considerably, yet his back was already drenched in cold sweat. At this moment, he truly realized just how terrifying the famed Xuanhe Patriarch was.

It turned out that invisibly, Luo Tianxing had already engaged in a clash with Xuanhe Patriarch. If not for this, even if Yin Buqun managed to escape unscathed, he would have suffered minor injuries. The dignity of a top supreme master isn’t to be lightly challenged!

”Hmph, I’ll give you a face. Quickly bring my disciple out!”

Having missed the strike, Xuanhe Patriarch knew that with Luo Tianxing present, it wouldn’t end well for him, so he could only snort coldly, aware that his willful disciple acted on his own accord this time, and their side didn’t hold the right.

”Xingmou, bring the person up?”

With Luo Tianxing’s sensing ability, once he identified the location, he immediately sensed a familiar aura and spoke out. Then, two graceful figures soared into the sky and landed in this space.

”Teacher...”

Upon seeing his teacher, Yun Wei called out and then reluctantly lowered his head. This time, he had come to the Star-picking Tower without informing his teacher, not expecting such a disturbance and unsure of how to resolve it.

”Are you injured?”

Xuanhe Patriarch originally felt some anger at Yun Wei’s reckless actions, but when he sensed the weak aura around him, he couldn’t help but become furious. In a flash, he was beside Yun Wei, and his terrifying aura forced Shen Xingmou back a step.

”Who dares to hurt my disciple of Xuan He? Step forward and face your death!”

No matter how dissatisfied Xuanhe Patriarch was with Yun Wei’s decision, he was still known as the number one protective teacher in the Li Yuan Realm. His furious shout almost made Ning Fu, the steward in front of the Star-picking Tower, collapse on the ground.

For Yun Wei’s injuries were caused by this steward of the Star-picking Tower. Previously, he didn’t know that the girl’s background was so prominent and just wanted to capture her to gain favor with the Great Elder, not expecting it to lead to such great disaster.

Ning Fu might be a Holy Rank cultivator in the Cave Nether Realm, but with such cultivation, he wasn’t considered top-notch even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, let alone the Li Yuan Realm.

Xuanhe Patriarch was a figure that could command respect throughout the Li Yuan Realm. At this moment, Ning Fu trembled, unsure whether the Tower Master would offer him up to appease Xuanhe Patriarch’s wrath, which might cost him his life.

”Is it him?”

Despite being enraged, Xuanhe Patriarch, being a top meridian refining master, possessed unparalleled soul power and instantly sensed Ning Fu’s presence. After all, the guard’s eyes were on him.

”Die!”

A deep shout came from Xuanhe Patriarch, as his right palm flipped, materializing a massive meridian qi palm seal tens of meters large in the air, imbued with immense power.

Feeling the descending meridian qi palm seal, Ning Fu and the dozens of guards beside him turned pale, knowing that if this palm strike landed, they would be smashed into a bloody pulp in an instant.

The looks from the dozens of guards at Ning Fu carried a tinge of resentment, thinking that it was this master steward who acted, what did it have to do with them? This was truly a disaster!

Whoosh...

But at that moment, just as the massive palm was about to crush the dozens into pancakes, a sudden gust of wind blew, sending Ning Fu and the guards of the Star-picking Tower flying, finally crashing into the wall of the first floor of the Star-picking Tower.

This was evidently the action of Luo Tianxing, the Tower Master of the Star-picking Tower. Only he could save them from Xuanhe Patriarch’s hands at the scene. After all, this was the Star-picking Tower, and to kill the practitioners of the Star-picking Tower right in front of the Tower Master would be too humiliating.

Bang!

Luo Tianxing’s intervention couldn’t have been more timely. Just an instant after Ning Fu and the guards were swept aside, the massive palm strike landed with a boom.

A cloud of dust rose, and when it cleared, Ning Fu and the others could barely stand. As they got up, they all collapsed back down.

Because right before them, a massive palm seal tens of meters deep was imprinted into the solid ground.

They realized that if that palm strike had hit them, their souls would be annihilated instantly, leaving no trace of flesh or blood. The might of a peak master with a single palm was truly terrifying.
