Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Leng Buyan, the Sixth Elder of the Wuyan Palace, a real Peak Earth Bending Realm expert, is a prominent figure on the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.

Heavenly Rank experts have the Heavenly List, and if Shenxiao Sect were to make an Earth List, the Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace would surely be listed, not only for his remarkable cultivation but also because of the top-tier force behind him, Wuyan Palace.

Due to Leng Buyan’s strength and background, he was immediately elected as the leader responsible for all affairs concerning the defense against Strange Spirits by the human cultivators of Lishui City.

Even when Leng Buyan arrogantly led the charge outside the city resulting in heavy losses, the cultivators of Lishui City just thought of themselves as unlucky and did not blame Leng Buyan too much, as this Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace was also gravely injured in that battle.

However, if these cultivators knew that Leng Buyan escaped from the hands of that Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit by deliberately sacrificing several human Earth Bending Realm experts, they might think differently.

Leng Buyan has always been an extremely hypocritical character; he appears as his name suggests, disliking much talk, yet he adeptly employs deceitful schemes, making him hard to guard against.

Back at Yanji Lake, Leng Buyan used such methods to escape right under Yun Xiao’s nose, even disregarding the Seventh Elder of Wuyan Palace and those Earth Bending Realm experts.

If the previous Leng Buyan still had some prestige in people’s hearts, now seeing him flee the East Gate city wall first brings much disdain.

These Low Rank human cultivators still fight to the death on the city wall, yet you, the power holder of Lishui City, the strongest elder of Wuyan Palace, choose to flee first. The blow to morale is simply terrifying.

With the leader escaping, the remaining human cultivators’ morale plummeted to the freezing point, causing a significant portion to abandon defense and flee.

Consequently, the Strange Spirits outside the city gained more confidence, with countless spirits climbing the city wall, and the downfall of Lishui seemed imminent.

At this point, Leng Buyan was already fleeing rapidly towards the West Gate of Lishui City. He had witnessed the strength of those Alien Spirit Leaders and knew that being surrounded would leave no chance for escape.

As they say, when disaster strikes, everyone flies their own way; Leng Buyan had no special relationships with the cultivators of Lishui City, so naturally, he wouldn’t sacrifice himself to protect them. He could easily change to another city, and with his Peak Earth Bending Realm cultivation, he could still be a dominant leader there, strutting in glory.

Unfortunately, this left the other human cultivators of Lishui City to suffer, with low morale, as Strange Spirits climbed over the wall to massacre, leading to rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

Bang!

A loud crash sounded as Wu Tong prepared to protect Jun Tieshu and Song Jianzi, trying to leap off the city wall, only to be intercepted by a strong force, forcing him to face the opponent directly, yet he was at a disadvantage this time.

”A Ninth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit!”

Wu Tong, pushed back a couple of steps, turned pale as he saw the earthy yellow glow emanating from the Strange Spirit, gritting his teeth and speaking in a low voice.

Clearly, it was an Earth Attribute Strange Spirit focused on strength, with the power of a Ninth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit comparable to that of late-stage Earth Bending Realm Wu Tong, and its physical strength was unmatched.

”This is trouble!”

Entangled with such a spirit, Wu Tong’s heart sank as he could no longer protect Jun Tieshu and Song Jianzi, fearing that the lives of the three from Firewood Valley would be lost on the East Gate city wall of Lishui City today.

Crash!

Yet, just then, a massive wave surged up from the large river outside the city, water spraying and splashing even onto the East Gate city wall of Lishui City.

”What’s that?”

Spotting an opportunity, Jun Tieshu pointed towards the city exterior, prompting the others to look, and they saw a colossal water column ascending wildly from the river, with a remarkable presence!

”Is it the Alien Spirit Leader, is it making a move too?”

Wu Tong, struggling against the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, finally saw the soaring water column and his face turned grim.

It was this Water Attribute Strange Spirit Leader that had once severely injured Leng Buyan during his attack on Lishui City.

Previously, in this warfare, the Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader stayed behind to command, but now its sudden action crushed the last hope of the human side of Lishui City.

”No, look!”

However, just as despair set into Wu Tong’s heart, Jun Tieshu’s eyes lit up, his fingers moving away from the water column, pointing towards the northeastern sky.

There they saw a silver-grey figure tread through the air; amidst the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield absent of Heavenly Rank Third Realm experts, its presence was startlingly distinctive and peculiar.

”It seems like it’s the presence of a human cultivator. Is it possible that a Heavenly Rank expert from our side has finally made a move?”

Song Jianzi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, finally catching a vague glimpse of what seemed to be a humanoid figure. He was shocked and delighted at the same time. If a Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert of the human race appeared at this desperate moment, it would undoubtedly be a massive turning point for Lishui City.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the figure flying in from the northeast direction became increasingly clear. The cultivators battling to the death on the East Gate City Wall of Lishui City had yet to recognize it, but the genius from Firewood Valley, Jun Tieshu, was already stunned.

”Could it really be him?!”

Jun Tieshu looked at the young figure with thunder wings on his back, and memories of past encounters surged up like a tide in his heart. Although the recent memories were from nearly a year ago, that figure had already been deeply engraved in his heart, impossible to forget.

”It’s Yun Xiao, it really is Yun Xiao, Elder Wu, Yun Xiao has come!”

Song Jianzi had also met Yun Xiao before. With Jun Tieshu’s reminder, he finally recognized the young man in coarse clothes who had left a profound impression on him.

There was a time by Yanji Lake when Song Jianzi was slapped by Yun Xiao because of Lv Xiaoman, but after the subsequent incidents, he never dared to oppose Yun Xiao again.

In Song Jianzi’s heart, that young man seemed to be omnipotent. At such a desperate moment, seeing the most dazzling figure appear unexpectedly kindled a great hope in his heart.

At least in Song Jianzi’s understanding of Yun Xiao, that guy had never fought a battle he wasn’t confident of winning. Since he flew here alone with his sword towards the East Gate outside Lishui City, he must have some confidence, right?

Listening to Song Jianzi’s excited voice, other human cultivators were a bit confused, but Elder Wu Tong from Firewood Valley shuddered violently. When it came to Yun Xiao, he had had interactions with him much earlier than these two Firewood Valley geniuses.

Back during the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference on Hidden Dragon Continent, Wu Tong had already witnessed Yun Xiao’s extraordinary side. At that time, Xuanyin Hall and the Meridian Refining Master Association were once at each other’s throats.

The second encounter with Yun Xiao was by Yanji Lake, and that meeting left an even more profound impression on Wu Tong. He suddenly realized that within just a few short years, he had already been surpassed by that demon-like youth.

However, unlike the two young geniuses, Wu Tong was more cautious. While battling with the earth attribute strange spirit, he showed a trace of worry on his face, glancing at the silver-gray figure in the sky coming closer, mumbling, ”Can he... really save Lishui City?”

As the murmur fell, that silver-gray figure had already flown to the front of the huge water column. It seemed that the alien spirit leader had also sensed a formidable foe, which made it suddenly appear.

......

The figure flying swiftly across the sky was, of course, Yun Xiao, who had arrived in advance. With his Thunder Dragon’s Wings, he disregarded the alien spirit army below, relying on his own intuition, directly flying to the territory of the Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirit leader.

It was clear that the alien spirit leader outside Lishui City East Gate was a Ninth Rank Advanced water attribute alien spirit. With the river outside the city, it thrived, greatly enhancing its combat abilities.

Whoosh!

Just as Yun Xiao approached, the huge water column suddenly swept in furiously. Its power was such that even some human cultivators at the Late Stage of the Earth Bending Realm would struggle significantly if caught in it.

However, Yun Xiao was no ordinary human cultivator. His cultivation might not be lower than that of the Ninth Rank Advanced water attribute alien spirit, and his formidable techniques were beyond what ordinary humans or strange spirits could imagine.

Faced with this enormous water column attack, Yun Xiao didn’t attempt to dodge. His left hand extended, releasing a chill from his palm, which instantly collided with the huge water column.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Following this, the alien spirits outside the city and the human cultivators on the city wall witnessed an astonishingly magnificent scene. The enormous water column, dozens of feet high, began to freeze from the middle, becoming an ice pillar in just a few breaths.

The massive ice pillar stood on the river, crystal clear, resembling a transparent Qingtian jade pillar. Even its connection to the riverbed seemed frozen, unable to move an inch.

”Come out for me!”

Yun Xiao ignored the observing alien spirits and human cultivators. He hadn’t come here first to create this astounding spectacle but to eliminate the alien spirit leader.

As his deep voice fell, he leaped forward, directly embracing the top of that giant ice pillar. Just like prying an Ocean Stabilizing God Needle Iron, he stirred the entire river ferociously, its might stunning.

Whoosh!

Amidst Yun Xiao’s agitation, a shape-shifting figure finally burst out from beneath the water. Under the sunlight, it continuously changed forms, evidently the water attribute Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirit leader.
