Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Daddy, don’t worry, with me here, Xiao Wu won’t dare to cause trouble!”

But Xiao Long’s next words made Xiao Wu tearful, as if the heavens and earth were watching. This time, he hadn’t intended to cause trouble at all. How could he always be seen as someone who loves to disrupt things by both the big and small hearts of you?

To be honest, if it weren’t for Xiao Long’s warning, Xiao Wu, who originally had no intention of stirring things up, might just want to come out and cause some trouble for Yun Xiao.

However, with Xiao Long’s warning ahead, even if he borrowed Xiao Wu’s courage, he didn’t dare to make any small moves, therefore he could only stare at a certain someone with frustration, gritting his teeth secretly.

After warning Xiao Wu, Xiao Long didn’t hesitate. His chubby little hand had already touched the green air line, and then a special aura erupted from his palm, intertwining with Yun Xiao’s ice cold poison power.

Originally feeling overwhelmed by the high-level heavenly poison, Yun Xiao felt a release in pressure with Xiao Long’s power joining in, making it easier for him to spare a hand to perform other actions.

Using Xiao Long’s unique method of resolving various poisons, to suppress the poison to a controllable degree for Lu Yanji was only the first step, as for the second step, Xiao Long couldn’t help much.

Because strictly speaking, even if everything evolved according to Lu Yanji’s prior optimal plan, he might not truly be able to rely on this high-level heavenly poison to break through to the heavenly realm, let alone after changes have occurred.

Currently, Yun Xiao’s second step is to handle the rapidly soon-to-be-controllable poisonous energy, coupled with Lu Yanji’s black wood qi on the other side, to create a real breakthrough opportunity.

No one on the Tenglong Continent can use such a method, in fact, no one has even imagined that there could be a miraculous method to help one break through to the Heavenly Realm.

Previously, when Yun Xiao assisted Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, and Ling Wan to regain breakthrough opportunities, although Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu were shocked, upon reflection, there were traces to follow.

After all, the three of Liu Hanyi had once had a breakthrough opportunity, which they forcefully gave up due to worrying about Yun Xiao’s situation.

Yun Xiao did nothing but retrieve the opportunity that was about to disappear, but that was merely breaking through from half-step heavenly to the early stage of floating life, completely incomparable to the current situation in difficulty.

Perhaps the combined energy required for a breakthrough at the levels of floating life realm and Lingyun realm might not even be as abundant as what a breakthrough from the peak of floating life to the initial stage of heavenly entails.

Thus, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s expression also turned somewhat grave. If it were during his flourishing period as the Long Xiao Battle God in his previous life, deploying these techniques wouldn’t require any effort, but now, if he’s careless, mistakes might occur.

Pu pu pu...

Similar to helping Liu Hanyi find opportunities earlier, Yun Xiao’s empty right hand directly pointed several dozen times around where Lu Yanji’s Dantian was located.

And this particular meridian array had reached a low-level heavenly rank, a special meridian array that Yun Xiao could only deploy after achieving a low-level heavenly Meridian Refining Master rank.

This was essentially different from the meridian arrays casually deployed earlier, as the acupuncture points had more than doubled.

When these struck points connected due to some aura, a sudden burst of powerful energy came from Lu Yanji’s body.

”Humph!”

The strength of a peak expert of Lingyun realm is so violent that even with Yun Xiao’s greatly improved current ability, he was hardly able to bear it, hearing a muffled hum as blood stained his lips.

However, even when hit by this force of violence, Yun Xiao’s hands did not let go. Instead, he stepped sideways, taking on the powerful force about to hit Xiao Long together.

This outcome undoubtedly added injury upon injury to Yun Xiao, yet he’s not resentful, knowing that his meridian array triggered something within Lu Yanji and it wasn’t the President’s voluntary action.

In fact, it could be said Yun Xiao intentionally did so, leading to this internal injury. If he hadn’t prepared earlier, such force might have resulted in more than just spilling a little blood.

Having endured the first energy impact, Yun Xiao’s complexion was pale, but a gratifying smile nonetheless appeared as Lu Yanji, able to burst out such formidable strength, was in a somewhat better position than anticipated.

If Lu Yanji were truly at his last breath, unable to inflict harm upon Yun Xiao with the eruptive force, the effort Yun Xiao would need to exert might have multiplied.

”Deserving of the first expert on Tenglong Continent indeed!”

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but feel stirred. He had sensed something during his initial encounter with Lu Yanji in Extreme Yin City, and now also piqued interest.

”What is that familiar thing, after all?”

Yun Xiao murmured, then his right hand approached the position of the pulse array again, which was also the location of Lu Yanji’s Dantian. Subsequently, the power of the pulse array erupted suddenly, suppressing the violent power Lu Yanji had just unleashed.

”This... this thing...”

However, when Yun Xiao used the pulse array to sense certain bloodline energies rising within Lu Yanji’s body, his eyes widened greatly as if he had discovered something incredible.

”Our President isn’t a descendant of the Jiuchong Longxia Lu Family, is he?”

Yun Xiao exclaimed in surprise upon sensing the vaguely familiar bloodline aura, though he was already seventy to eighty percent sure, given his deep ties with the so-called Lu Family of Jiuchong Longxia.

Strictly speaking, Yun Xiao’s relationship with the Jiuchong Longxia Lu Family was far from trivial—it was a tangled mess. His wife in his previous life was named Lu Qinwan, the apple of the eye of the Lu Family patriarch at that time.

The Lu Family was a powerful clan in the Jiuchong Longxia. During its peak, it even boasted experts at the Saint-grade Peak level.

Unfortunately, over countless years, the once-glorious Lu Family gradually declined. Eventually, the Lu Family patriarch, Lu Qinwan’s father, barely managed to break through to the second realm of the Saint Rank Third Realm.

The various family sects in Jiuchong Longxia had complicated forces in large numbers, far beyond comparison with the Tenglong Continent. This resulted in fierce competition.

When a family declines, it is inevitably replaced by another, and both sides must clash over resources and territories. The Lu Family found itself in such a predicament.

Thankfully, the Lu Family Head had a remarkable daughter, Lu Qinwan, whose extraordinary talents manifested from a young age. Later, she married the Long Xiao Battle God, leveraging this connection to climb up to the Emperor Canglong Palace.

Once the Lu Family aligned with the Emperor Canglong Palace, no one dared to provoke them lightly, for the Long Xiao Battle God’s fame was widespread, and the Emperor Canglong dominated a region. No one could bear the consequences.

”Qinwan, Emperor Canglong, do you still remember the Long Xiao Battle God of the past?”

As these past events flashed through his mind, Yun Xiao bowed his head, murmuring, his eyes revealing a glint of hatred.

Yun Xiao would never forget the scene of betrayal at his death in his previous life. Now, he had long moved past the rage and heartache from being betrayed by his wife and brothers. His mind focused solely on revenge.

However, now Yun Xiao was mingling in the Tenglong Continent’s Middle Three Realms. He did not even know whether six or seven years had passed since his reincarnation and wondered what the situation would be when he returned to Jiuchong Longxia.

”Heh heh, it seems I am indeed destined with this Lu Family, to encounter an old man with Lu Family blood on the Tenglong Continent!”

Suppressing his hatred, Yun Xiao’s face showed a peculiar smile. Sensing the somewhat hidden bloodline aura in Lu Yanji, he chuckled lightly.

”But to have Lu Family blood and merely be mingling in the Tenglong Continent, it seems you are just a discarded son of the Lu Family!”

Upon thinking of a possibility, Yun Xiao speculated much. Despite Lu Yanji being the top of the Heavenly List and possessing an esteemed position as the Meridian Refining Master Association President on the Tenglong Continent, he would be nothing in Jiuchong Longxia.

In Jiuchong Longxia, only those who reached the Saint Rank Third Realm could be considered truly influential figures.

There, Heavenly Rank experts are as common as dogs, and Saint-rank experts walk everywhere. Even cultivators who barely entered the Saint Rank were insignificant in the eyes of such a great family as the Lu Family.

In terms of background power and cultivation resources, the Tenglong Continent could not compare to Jiuchong Longxia at all. Yun Xiao guessed that if Lu Yanji were in Jiuchong Longxia, he would have long since broken through to the Heavenly Realm level.

Due to the connection with Lu Qinwan, Yun Xiao, after being reborn, felt little affection towards the Jiuchong Longxia Lu Family. He believed that one day, he would return to Jiuchong Longxia to settle the grudges with the Lu Family.

However, considering Lu Yanji might be a discarded son of the Lu Family, Yun Xiao did not transfer his hatred for the Lu Family to the President.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, Lu Yanji had once saved his life in Extreme Yin City. In terms of emotion and reason, he did not want to owe the Lu Family any favors, even if this person might not be esteemed by the Lu Family headquarters.

Suppressing the thoughts arising from Lu Yanji’s Lu Family bloodline aura, Yun Xiao gathered his mind, controlling the Heavenly Rank Pulse Array to begin his real move this time.

After discovering Lu Yanji’s Lu Family bloodline, Yun Xiao had increased confidence in the success of this move, for that was a mighty bloodline even in Jiuchong Longxia.
