Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Time shifts to a few incense sticks earlier!

When Yun Xiao was pulled into the lake by the stream, Hu Ying’er was so frightened that her face turned pale. At the same time, the clone of You He suddenly became violent, preventing any attempt to rescue.

Thus, Hu Ying’er could only watch helplessly as Yun Xiao, with torn clothes, disappeared into the lake, unable to do anything. This caused her personality on this side to instantly explode.

Hu Ying’er clearly saw earlier how Yun Xiao was miserably blasted by the twelve streams of Star Power descending from the sky. Even from such a distance, she could faintly see the blood light beneath the youth’s tattered clothes.

With Yun Xiao so severely injured and forcibly dragged to the bottom of the lake by some mysterious power, Hu Ying’er could imagine the outcome with just her toes.

But You He’s clone, knowing its own limits, was convinced it could handle Yun Xiao, thus determined not to let external forces intervene.

Despite being an advanced Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit bursting with power, Hu Ying’er, possessing the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body and having reached the Floating Life Realm Peak, failed several times to break through You He’s clone’s obstruction.

Earlier, You He’s clone desperately tried to stop Yun Xiao from breaking the large array. Now, the situation was reversed, and it was not easy for Hu Ying’er to break through the blockade.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Hu Ying’er grew increasingly angry and anxious, the sound of several breaking winds suddenly came from behind, causing her to turn her head involuntarily.

This sight made Hu Ying’er’s face even more somber, for the airborne figures were the Heavenly Spirit experts who had previously blocked Chi Yan Liu Hanyi and others outside.

Aside from the low-level Silver-grade Strange Spirit that Hu Ying’er had killed, there was an intermediate Silver-grade Strange Spirit and a total of seven low-level Silver-grade Strange Spirits, all exuding an overwhelmingly majestic aura.

”Oh no, have Sister Han Yi and the others been defeated?”

Seeing this, Hu Ying’er’s heart skipped a beat. Through their recent interactions, her relationship with the girls had become very close, like sisters.

Moreover, Hu Ying’er knew that Liu Hanyi, the four girls, and Ling Wan all had only the cultivation of half-step Heavenly Rank. Even though they had Red Feather taking care of them one-on-two, there’s no guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen.

”Don’t escape!”

But in the next moment, Hu Ying’er was startled by a strange female voice, seeing a red stream of light swiftly approaching and piercing through a low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit.

”It’s Red Feather!”

Hu Ying’er was somewhat familiar with Yun Xiao’s demon pet hidden within him. From the voice and the dominance in piercing the Heavenly Spirit, she knew it could only be Red Feather, who had reached the Heavenly Demon level.

At the same time, Hu Ying’er saw several figures rapidly approaching in the distance, immediately breathing a big sigh of relief, noticing that none of her valued allies were missing.

The red glow was indeed from the adolescent Red Feather of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Previously, she effortlessly fought against two low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirits, occasionally helping Ling Wan and others in crisis.

However, for some reason, when the skirmish reached a fever pitch, led by the intermediate Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, the Strange Spirit experts all ceased fighting and flew deeper into Impermanence Island.

This relieved the pressure on Liu Hanyi and others significantly, yet they knew that something secretive might be happening deeper within Impermanence Island.

These people, or Vein Demons, knew that Yun Xiao had gone ahead deep into Impermanence Island. Although Hu Ying’er followed shortly after, there’s still a chance of something unacceptable happening.

Thus, Red Feather took the lead in pursuit, followed closely by Mo Qing, Liu Hanyi, and others. Even Xu Hongzhuang, who had been observing from the sky, drove her Purple Luan deeper, reaching the lake’s location.

Red Feather, having the upper hand one-on-two before, accelerated, swiftly piercing a low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, seizing its Spirit Crystal.

”Hmm? Where’s Brother Yun Xiao?”

After killing the low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, Red Feather’s phoenix eyes slightly shifted. Not seeing the familiar figure, her tone trembled slightly.

”Where’s Yun Xiao?”

At this moment, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had caught up, their expressions even more anxious, noticing that besides the ongoing battle between Hu Ying’er and a Strange Spirit, there was no sign of Yun Xiao at all.

This realization caused a chill to surge from their heads, fearing that if that young man had truly met with misfortune, their world might as well collapse.

”Brother Yun Xiao was dragged to the lake bottom, hurry and save him!”

Amidst the chaos, seeing so many helping hands arriving, Hu Ying’er rejoiced, shouting directly without further explanation.

”Greetings, my king!”

Meanwhile, many strong alien spirits had already bowed towards the clone of the advanced silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, You He, as it was their sole master.

”Stop them!”

You He’s clone didn’t bother with the reverence of all spirits. Seeing a blood-red light rushing towards the lake surface, its face darkened, and it shouted loudly.

In fact, as soon as Hu Ying’er appeared, You He summoned these outer alien spirit experts back to the lakeside with the intention of stopping Yun Xiao from destroying the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array.

However, some changes occurred later—You He’s true body directly intervened, pulling Yun Xiao into the lake. By the time these alien spirit experts arrived, Yun Xiao’s trace was nowhere to be found.

At this point, You He certainly wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin its attempt to kill Yun Xiao. Sensing that the blood-red light was a Vein Demon that had reached the Heavenly Demon level, You He became anxious.

Upon hearing the king’s command, the intermediate silver-grade Heavenly Spirit dared not delay at all, swiftly moving to block Red Feather, unleashing a powerful aura.

”Get out!”

Anxious for Yun Xiao’s situation, Red Feather had no interest in fighting this creature. Hearing her sharp shout, her whole body was wrapped in layers of flame.

The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Fire, which is even more terrifying than Red Flame Lifebound Fire Burning Flame, threatened the spirit. Despite knowing the strength of the flame, the intermediate silver-grade Heavenly Spirit didn’t retreat due to You He’s orders.

Once this battle broke out, the other strong alien spirits hesitated not at all. After a series of previous battles, geniuses like Liu Hanyi and Xue Ningxiang, who were at the half-step Heavenly Rank, were already exhausted.

In this urgent moment, seeing that several women and Ling Wan were in danger, Chi Yan could only prioritize rescue, unable to assist Red Feather on the other side.

However, despite Chi Yan reaching the low-level silver-grade Heavenly Demon level, killing these alien spirits of the same rank quickly was nearly impossible under their desperate efforts.

Therefore, the field descended into turmoil again, with Red Feather held off by the intermediate silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, unable to break through, while Chi Yan roamed like a firefighter across various battlefields, overwhelmed.

But prolonged defense leads to eventual loss; the human side, consisting of several women and Ling Wan, only had half-step Heavenly Rank levels. In this long battle, Chi Yan didn’t possess three heads and six arms; securing one spot meant another would surely be compromised.

Bam!

Thus, at a certain moment, when the low-level silver-grade Heavenly Spirit burst with power, Mo Qing was directly struck by it, staggering several steps backward, her aura entirely diminished.

At the same time, Ling Wan, in its Mixed Element One Qi Body form, was forced to reveal its true body and fell back, gasping heavily. At this moment, Chi Yan happened to assist Liu Hanyi in fending off a deadly attack.

Relatively speaking, Mo Qing and Ling Wan being merely knocked back was a manageable result, but Lady Xue from Xuanyin Hall, like Liu Hanyi, was caught in a dire crisis.

Considering Xue Ningxiang’s exceptional origin from Xuanyin Hall, with her Illusion Yin Ghost Body being extremely powerful, yet she hadn’t cultivated Meridian Qi until her eighteenth year.

In just a few short years, she grew from a person on the brink of death to a half-step Heavenly Rank level, but compared to Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi, her foundation was inevitably more fragile and shallow.

Thus, in a battle of the same intensity, Mo Qing, Ling Wan, and others gritted their teeth and held on, but Xue Ningxiang’s aura was already weakening, revealing the flaws of her weak foundation at this critical moment.

Alien spirits held no mercy towards humans, nor did they harbor any pity for this beautiful woman, Xue Ningxiang.

Having pushed this human woman to a dead end, the low-level silver-grade Heavenly Spirit hesitated not at all; seeing this strike about to land, Lady Xue, newly grown into the Continent’s top genius, was bound to perish instantly.

At this moment, Mo Qing and Ling Wan couldn’t spare themselves, Hu Ying’er was held back by the advanced silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, Red Feather, focused on breaking through to save Yun Xiao, while Liu Hanyi had just been saved by Chi Yan. Hence, no one was available to aid Xue Ningxiang.

”No!”

Witnessing this, Mo Qing’s delicate face drastically changed, she directly cried out in shock, but this alarming cry couldn’t possibly dispel the alien spirit’s killing intent. Its actions didn’t pause even slightly.

”Die!”

The low-level silver-grade Heavenly Spirit was eagerly satisfied, seeing this exceptional human woman about to die at its hand, it felt a bloodthirsty pleasure.

”Die!”

Just then, when Xue Ningxiang seemed doomed, another voice, identical to the alien spirit’s, suddenly echoed from the sky, startling everyone and the spirits.

As everyone and the spirits looked up, they witnessed a truly astonishing scene!
