Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Poof!

Upon hearing a gentle sound, everyone saw Hu Ying’er, with her right hand resembling white jade scallions, lightly touch Xiao Changlin’s throat with two fingers.

Then they witnessed a burst of crimson blood spurting out, reflecting the terrified and incredulous expression on the elder of the Xiao Family.

This was a strong cultivator at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm! Moments ago, everyone believed the one to be killed in a single move should have been the young girl named Hu Ying’er, so how come, in the blink of an eye, the one dead turned out to be Xiao Changlin?

At this moment, many people pondered, thinking if not for Xiao Changlin’s overconfidence or the girl’s well-hidden strength, the outcome wouldn’t have been so simple.

Unfortunately, there is no remedy for regret; with his throat pierced, no matter how unwilling Xiao Changlin is, he has no power to reverse his fate.

Poor Xiao Family’s Great Elder, a bona fide expert at the early-stage Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, simply because of a single oversight, handed his life right at the front door of the Xiao family’s headquarters, truly lamentable and regrettable.

”Bastard!”

After a brief surprise, the patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhenting, finally returned to his senses, with a roar echoing like thunder, filled with extreme anger and murderous intent.

Previously, the Xiao elder who died at the hands of Hu Ying’er was only at the late stage of Earth Bending Realm. For a Heavenly Rank expert like Xiao Zhenting, though angry, he didn’t take much notice.

But it was different for Xiao Changlin, who had already broken through to the early-stage Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm. He was a pillar for the Xiao Family to stand firm in the southeast territory of the Tenglong Continent, second in importance only to Xiao Zhenting, the patriarch.

Now mysteriously dying at the hands of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was simply a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Zhenting has reason to believe that after Xiao Changlin’s death, the Xiao Family’s status among the three great families would plummet, possibly being replaced by other covetous families.

On the Dragon Continent, Xiao, Chu, and Zhao claim to be the three great families because their top-tier combat power is stronger than other families, but many powerful families are not necessarily weaker, only refraining from direct provocation without absolute certainty.

Hu Ying’er’s move directly plunged the Xiao Family into a huge crisis, how could Xiao Zhenting not be angry, not resentful?

And all of this was caused by this small girl before him.

”I, Xiao Zhenting, swear that I will break all your limbs and bones, strip you naked, and expose you under the scorching sun for seven days and nights, letting everyone know the consequences of offending my Xiao Family!”

The venomous voice from Xiao Zhenting sent chills down the spines of the distant onlookers, the mere thought of such cruel punishment was truly terrifying.

However, what the crowd didn’t see was that at this moment, Hu Ying’er’s eyes no longer held a hint of gentleness, replaced by decisive ruthlessness and hostility.

”After today, there will be no more Xiao Family on the Dragon Continent!”

Seeing Xiao Zhenting rushing towards her, Hu Ying’er’s mouth suddenly uttered a deep voice, and immediately, some soul experts sensed her Meridian Qi Cultivation soar considerably.

”Is this... Floating Life Realm Peak?!”

The Meridian Refining Master, who spoke first, felt as if the voice wasn’t his own, murmuring in disbelief, even doubting his soul sensing.

Because Hu Ying’er, who had just broken through to the early stage of the Floating Life, remarkably reached the Floating Life Realm Peak in an instant, surpassing the Xiao Family’s patriarch, Xiao Zhenting.

”So she hid her strength so deeply, no wonder she dared to come alone to the Xiao Family headquarters for revenge!”

Beside them, a steady-minded expert gasped deeply, then spoke in a deep voice, prompting the surrounding people to come to their senses.

It seems that Hu Ying’er’s hidden strength was not the early stage of the Floating Life Realm, but a higher-tier Floating Life Realm Peak. At this moment, the crowd’s doubts were resolved, and no one thought the girl was overestimating herself anymore.

To dare to avenge the Xiao Family alone with one’s strength was considered rash by many people before, but now seeing the girl suppress the Xiao Family patriarch, Xiao Zhenting, the situation has gradually changed.

”Humph, I said the Xiao Family was asking for trouble, and now they’ve hit a hard wall!”

”Yes, those two notorious by the Xiao Family have done countless evil deeds over the years, at last, someone stepped forward to seek justice!”

”I heard Xiao Qiming died at Yun Xiao’s hands back then, is it true?”

”Ha, you all don’t know, right? Yun Xiao originally came from our Southern Domain, his alias was Xingchen!”

”Ah, I remember now, speaking of the Hu Family in Ancient Moon City Yang family, it was destroyed by Yun Xiao, alias Xingchen, wasn’t it? So, does that mean he knows Miss Hu Ying’er?”

”Why are all those connected to that guy such demons?”

”...”

Amidst the discussions, they began by recounting the crimes committed by the Xiao Family over the years, but somehow ended up talking about that unrivalled genius, who recently became a rising star on the Tenglong Continent.

From Yun Xiao’s participation in the Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection, to his journey to the Xuanyin Cave in Xuanyin Hall, and the epic battle at Yanji Lake, these events spread like wildfire across the entire Tenglong Continent.

With some keen folks digging up information, Yun Xiao’s activities in the Southern Domain of the Tenglong Continent, and even his aliases ”Star” and ”Yun Xing,” couldn’t remain hidden.

Adding to it, the rising fame of Lianyun Mountain’s ”Double Charms of Medicine and Poison,” Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing, and the strong ascent of Xuanyin Hall’s ”One-shot Saint Son” Ling Wan.

Moreover, at Demons Mountain, the ”Red-dressed Immortal” Xu Hongzhuang, supposedly she even tamed the ancestor’s mount, the Snow Stepping Flying Horse. These folks have quite a close relationship with Yun Xiao.

Now that Yun Xiao’s alias as Star was uncovered, many cultivators who had been to Ancient Moon City suddenly remembered the annihilation of the Yang Family, instantly recalling that the young lady of the Hu Family seemed familiar with that figure, right?

All these events and genius personas were interwoven, and ultimately connected back to Yun Xiao, prompting everyone to ponder: what kind of demon is this?

However, one person’s expression didn’t look good, being a Peak of Earth Bending Realm expert from Sky Thunder Valley; their valley had once severely offended Yun Xiao, and it’s uncertain whether the youth would seek revenge after rising to power.

Suffice it to say, even for Sky Thunder Valley, there wasn’t an immediate threat, but for the Xiao Family, the situation was different, especially for Xiao Qihang, whose body was slightly trembling.

This young talent, who had been number one among the Xiao Family’s younger generation for years, now distinctly felt the Xiao Family members inexplicably distancing themselves, with some even showing anger and hatred in their eyes.

For had it not been for Xiao Qihang’s audacity, how could the Xiao Family have attracted such a formidable enemy? Now, even the patriarch of the Xiao Family couldn’t stand against him.

As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, individuals fly for safety; seeing Xiao Zhenting almost at his limit, the Xiao Family members regarded Xiao Qihang, the culprit, as a plague, avoiding him like the devil.

Everyone knew the Hu family’s eldest lady most detested person; staying by Xiao Qihang’s side might bring calamity, best to stay far away.

”You... you all...”

Seeing the Xiao Family members’ movements and expressions, Xiao Qihang’s face turned pale and flushed in turns, tinged with helpless terror, as he foresaw his demise, pointing at them, unsure what to say.

Xiao Qihang couldn’t help but feel regret, yet who the hell could’ve thought that a small Hu Family in Ancient Moon City would birth an unrivalled genius stronger than the Xiao family patriarch?

If he had known earlier, he’d have never dared provoke the Hu Family!

But the Xiao Family had been arrogant in the Southern Domain for ages; Xiao Qihang and his brother committed countless similar acts.

With the Xiao Family as their backing, even those humiliated and vengeful dared not retaliate, as anyone seeking retribution had already met King Yan.

When Hu Ying’er escaped, Xiao Qihang didn’t care, even contemplated finding her to satisfy his twisted desires, not expecting her to become a force that could overturn the whole Xiao Family.

Bang!

Just as thoughts raced through Xiao Qihang’s mind, a loud noise resonated from the sky, followed by the patriarch of the Xiao Family retreating violently, his aura chaotic, evidently struck by Hu Ying’er.

Whoosh!

Hu Ying’er didn’t care about Xiao Zhenting’s state, she knew he was the strongest in the Xiao Family, and killing him would crush their morale.

So as Xiao Zhenting was hit and retreated, Hu Ying’er flicked her fingers, a crystalline lotus transformed into a streak of light, shooting furiously at the patriarch of the Xiao Family.

”Miss Hu, please wait!”

Xiao Zhenting, his aura utterly depleted, finally realized the disparity with his opponent, since he wasn’t even a match, he decided to push Xiao Qihang out to protect the Xiao Family.

No matter how extraordinary Xiao Qihang’s talent was, whether or not he was his direct descendant, he was only one person, incomparable to the entire Xiao dynasty.

Especially after battling Hu Ying’er for so long, Xiao Zhenting, who always favored Xiao Qihang, now harbored a hint of anger.

This guy dared to provoke someone who reached the Floating Life Realm Peak, a super strong figure, wasn’t he inviting disaster upon the Xiao Family?
