Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Yun Xiao, no matter how cunning you are, today you’ve fallen into my trap, Xie Tianwan!”

Seeing Yun Xiao seemingly in a daze as he held Ye Ku’s wrist, Xie Tianwan thought it was the effect of Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew beginning to take control of Yun Xiao’s soul, and he let out a low, cold laugh.

Xie Tianwan never considered that he was merely a pawn discarded by Xue Qi; he was only focused on completing the task assigned by that eminent figure, hoping to soar to new heights.

In his eyes, he was about to achieve his goal. The individual who was recently dominating the Tenglong Continent was going to act on his command soon. What an honor that would be!

Someone like Xie Tianwan is easily consumed by jealousy. In the past, there was no comparison between him and Yun Xiao; jealousy was pointless.

But now, seeing that the eminent figure who had captured everyone’s attention would soon become his slave, Xie Tianwan felt a fiery thrill, and he could finally avenge the great grudge against Yun Xiao for killing his senior martial brothers. Indeed, it was a matter that killed multiple birds with one stone.

”Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew, it has been a long time!”

As thoughts raced through Xie Tianwan’s mind, the faint contemplation in Yun Xiao’s eyes disappeared, leaving only a flame of vengeance.

Yun Xiao felt that he was getting closer to the grudges of his past life, whether it was the relationship between President Lu Yanji of the Meridian Refining Master Association and the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Lu Family, or the Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew before him, it seemed as though there was a hidden guidance leading him down the path of past life’s grudges.

For Yun Xiao, who was once a participant in matters involving Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew, resolving it was effortless and didn’t even require Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons.

Phew...

In just a few breaths, Yun Xiao activated the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, absorbing all of Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew from Ye Ku’s body into his own, thus completely nullifying Ye Ku’s poison.

Thump, thump, thump!

After dissolving Ye Ku’s poison, Yun Xiao swiftly tapped a few key acupoints on his body. In just a few moments, the genius of the Sky Poison Institute, who was on the brink of death, suddenly leapt up from the ground.

”As expected of Senior Yun Xiao, the instant effectiveness is simply phenomenal!”

Seeing this scene and sensing the utterly different state of Ye Ku’s aura from before, all the meridian refining geniuses of Lianyun Mountain felt deeply impressed by such capability.

”Hmph, I don’t know what those guys are so happy about?”

Xie Tianwan, naturally, also noticed the excited smiles of the Lianyun Mountain geniuses, and he let out a cold snort, not doubting Yun Xiao’s ability to save Ye Ku. However, this also trapped himself in a dilemma.

This genius from the Spirit Fighting Commerce was convinced that the poison from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was definitely not something the meridian refining masters of the Tenglong Continent could dissolve.

Now, it seemed as though Yun Xiao easily dissolved Ye Ku’s poison, but in reality, he had merely transferred the poison from Ye Ku’s body to his own. This was Xie Tianwan’s true objective.

It could be said that until this moment, Xie Tianwan believed everything was proceeding according to the script he wrote. The one called Yun Xiao would soon act at his command, following his every word and move.

”Your name is Xie Tianwan, right? I ask you, where did you obtain this Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew?”

Unaware of Xie Tianwan’s thoughts, sensing the aura of Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew within his own body, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

Unless this matter was clarified, Yun Xiao feared he would always carry a burden in his heart. He didn’t suspect that his present identity had already been discovered by the Emperor Canglong Palace; he merely wanted to know what else in the Tenglong Continent was related to Qinwan.

”Facing death, still unaware!”

Suddenly, hearing Yun Xiao’s question with a hint of coldness, even as Xie Tianwan was at the pinnacle of satisfaction, he felt a surge of anger, and he changed the seal in his hand slightly.

”Activate!”

At this moment, Xie Tianwan paid no mind to the name of that poison mentioned by Yun Xiao, firmly believing that with a subtle change in his seal, the poison Yun Xiao absorbed would suddenly erupt.

By then, let’s see if this guy who was thriving across the entire Tenglong Continent could still keep up his strength?

When he forced Yun Xiao to kneel and submit to him, what kind of expressions would those geniuses of Lianyun Mountain have?

”Hmm?”

However, as Xie Tianwan continued to alter the seals in his hand, attempting to trigger the poison in Yun Xiao’s body, he found that the poison was not completely under his control and was gradually dissipating.

”No, this can’t be!”

Sensing this, Xie Tianwan’s expression finally changed slightly, then, as if in a roar, he shouted, ”Activate for me! Activate!”

Xie Tianwan roared, his hands moving with increasing intensity, and his ferocious appearance drew contemptuous looks from the geniuses of Lianyun Mountain.

To be honest, when Xie Tianwan first activated the ”Initiation,” the disciples of Lianyun Mountain, including Ye Ku who had regained some spirit, couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

After all, as Meridian Refiners, they naturally knew that Yun Xiao had just transferred the deadly poison from Ye Ku’s body to his own, resolving Ye Ku’s crisis was one thing, but whether he could neutralize the poison was another matter.

On the continent, there are numerous examples where Meridian Refiners trying to detoxify others instead endanger themselves; sometimes the poisoned individual is saved, but the detoxifier ultimately perishes.

Only when the crowd heard Xie Tianwan’s roar and saw his panicked actions did they realize that the young man named Yun Xiao was indeed their senior brother in heart, who would never fight a battle without confidence.

Wasn’t Xie Tianwan arrogant just a moment ago? How come he’s transformed into such a state now? Truly, he’s just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong, unable to stir up any waves when confronted with a stronger opponent.

”I say, you don’t really think that this Earth Rank Advanced Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew could truly confound my mind, do you?”

Yun Xiao naturally heard Xie Tianwan’s roar and saw his actions. He spread his hands slightly, asking in a voice tinged with helplessness, causing the Spirit Fighting Commerce genius’s hands to suddenly freeze.

”Impossible... Impossible...”

Xie Tianwan, pausing his actions, continued to mutter, as the situation was far beyond his expectations, leaving him quite taken aback.

That great figure from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud had confidently assured Xie Tianwan that this deadly poison was so potent that even a Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Refiner couldn’t possibly neutralize it.

Yet now, the guy named Yun Xiao merely touched Ye Ku’s wrist for a few breaths, not only neutralizing the poison but also healing him, and was unharmed himself.

At this moment, Xie Tianwan began to doubt whether the self-proclaimed great figure from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was just a charlatan seeking false fame, with the concoction being utterly ineffective.

It seems Xie Tianwan has forgotten the scene where the deadly poison tormented Ye Ku to near death, for Yun Xiao was indeed his main target this time. Not controlling Yun Xiao was merely futile.

Yet Xie Tianwan was ignorant that the so-called deadly Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew was developed by Yun Xiao himself, attempting to use it to control its creator was sheer folly.

Furthermore, Xie Tianwan wrongfully blamed Xue Qi this time, as Yun Xiao’s former sister knew nothing of Emperor Canglong’s relationship with Yun Xiao, resulting in a misstep that led to failure.

”Hey, you haven’t answered my question yet, where exactly did you get this Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew?”

Seeing the opponent somewhat disoriented, Yun Xiao slightly furrowed his brows, asked again. Of all things involving Xie Tianwan, he was most interested in this Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew closely tied to him.

”Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew?”

Upon hearing the name again, Xie Tianwan finally snapped back to reality. Initially, Xue Qi hadn’t mentioned its name when handing him the poison, so how could Yun Xiao know it?

However, upon regaining composure, Xie Tianwan didn’t obediently answer Yun Xiao’s question; instead, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, seemingly reaching a certain decision.

”Yun Xiao, since you’re here, don’t you dare to challenge me in a duel using Poison Meridian Skill?”

With Xie Tianwan’s provocative voice echoing, the entire plaza momentarily fell silent, shortly followed by intense chatter.

”Is Xie Tianwan crazy?”

”Doesn’t he realize what kind of being he’s facing?”

”Could it be that the earlier techniques haven’t made Xie Tianwan aware of the gap between himself and Yun Xiao?”

”If Brother Yun Xiao agrees, wouldn’t it feel a bit like taking unfair advantage?”

”What unfair advantage? It was he who provoked first, Brother Yun Xiao, show him some color!”

”...”

Whether the geniuses from Lianyun Mountain headquarters or watching talents like Nie Xiaosheng, they were almost amused by Xie Tianwan’s provocation at this moment.

Especially the disciples from the Sky Poison Institute, earlier Xie Tianwan was extremely arrogant, pressuring them low, even Ye Ku fell to him, leaving them with pent-up grievances.

”Brother Yun Xiao, show him some color!”

Led by a certain poison meridian genius, the entire plaza echoed with such fierce shouts, their confidence in Yun Xiao evidently grew stronger.

As for Yun Xiao, listening to the impassioned crowd of geniuses, he couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. Given his current status, refining skills, how could he indulge in such petty disputes with young talents?
