Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

At this moment, the five people who had advanced in the Medical Pulse Technique were already clear on the plaza, so everyone’s attention remained focused on the Nine Realms Poison Tower, including the numerous Medical Pulse Masters participating in the Meridian Refining Conference.

”Look, someone else is coming out!”

When a voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears, they simultaneously saw a flash of light from the Nine Realms Poison Tower, and a graceful figure appeared in their sight.

”It’s Ghostly Poisonous Woman Song Qiuchan!”

Although some people couldn’t clearly see the appearance of that figure yet, they could at least immediately tell it was a woman. Female Poison Vein Masters were originally scarce, and the answer to who could persist until the end was already clear.

Song Qiuchan’s Poison Meridian Skill was already renowned on the Tenglong Continent, more terrifying than those eliminated Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Masters. The name of Ghostly Poisonous Woman also instilled fear in people.

”Eh? Why does Song Qiuchan seem to be missing an arm?”

One Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master, with sharp eyes, suddenly noticed Song Qiuchan’s empty left sleeve and couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Indeed!”

After this exclamation, people like Nie Xiaosheng or Gu Huashan clearly saw that Song Qiuchan had indeed lost an arm, and their faces showed different expressions.

But relatively speaking, most people were extremely curious in their hearts, given that she was an exceptional figure of the Floating Life Realm Late Stage and a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master. How did she end up in such a miserable state?

”Could she have been injured by the highly poisonous Pulse Demons inside the Nine Realms Poison Tower?”

Some thought of this possibility, which wasn’t unreasonable. After all, it was likely that there were Advanced Silver Grade Heavenly Demons within the Nine Realms Poison Tower, and if Song Qiuchan encountered such a level of highly toxic Heavenly Demon, this outcome wouldn’t be too unexpected.

Song Qiuchan, who emerged from the Poison Tower, seemed to have sensed the strange gazes around her, her mood growing increasingly gloomy, and her hatred for a certain young man intensified.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao had not yet come out of the Nine Realms Poison Tower, so even if Song Qiuchan wanted to make trouble for him, she couldn’t find him. Thus, she could only stand aside, gritting her teeth.

Song Qiuchan’s appearance made everyone thoughtful, silently noting that even if this Ghostly Poisonous Woman won this Meridian Refining Conference’s Poison Vein Championship, her future strength would likely decrease.

For the Poison Meridian Skill, losing an arm wasn’t greatly impactful as long as it wasn’t where the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein was located. So, Song Qiuchan hadn’t entirely lost her chance to contend for the championship.

This made everyone have different predictions about the remaining three people in the Nine Realms Poison Tower, wondering if they would also be in as tragic a state as Song Qiuchan.

Swish!

As everyone continuously scanned between Song Qiuchan and the Nine Realms Poison Tower, another figure was transmitted out; it was precisely the Vice President of Spirit Fighting Commerce, Lu Tianwen.

This Vice President of Spirit Fighting Commerce appeared much better than the previous individuals, even his clothes were not too disheveled, implying he maneuvered quite well within the Nine Realms Poison Tower.

However, when Lu Tianwen looked around and did not see the figures of Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi, his expression became somewhat gloomy.

Lu Tianwen hadn’t paid much attention to the first round of competition; as long as he secured one of the final five spots, he was satisfied. Whether he persisted until the end wasn’t a concern.

But now, seeing among the remaining two was his enemy Yun Xiao, Lu Tianwen regretted not lingering longer in the Nine Realms Poison Tower.

Regarding anything about Yun Xiao, Lu Tianwen harbored deep hatred, whether it was this advancement spot or the Poison Vein genius Liu Hanyi, who had a good relationship with Yun Xiao.

It wouldn’t matter if the final two spots were taken by others, but Lu Tianwen could not bear seeing them fall into the hands of Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi, which made him very unwilling.

Yet since he had already exited the Nine Realms Poison Tower, like Song Qiuchan earlier, Lu Tianwen could only grit his teeth, unable to take any actions, passively waiting.

Swish! Swish!

After a moment, two lights flashed simultaneously, and a pair of young men and women appeared in everyone’s sight, none other than Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi.

These two were even more elegant than Lu Tianwen; their hair and clothes were impeccable, as if they had spent three days in an ordinary place.

The pair appeared together, the boy clear-eyed and the girl beautiful, resembling an immortal couple arriving gracefully, which dazzled many for a moment.

”Senior Sister Hanyi, congratulations!”

Yun Xiao didn’t bother with the strange looks from the onlooking cultivators. Having just been transported out, he immediately saw the graceful figure beside him, and couldn’t help but let out a joyful laugh.

”Congratulations, congratulations!”

Liu Hanyi’s mood also seemed quite good, her smile blooming like a flower in response, and this exchange of mutual compliments made Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan grit their teeth in frustration.

Though the two of them had also advanced to the second round, they harbored a deep-seated hatred against Yun Xiao, not wanting to see that young man shine and overshadow them.

Take the current situation, for instance, where Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi emerged together, undoubtedly becoming the most dazzling figures in the arena. At this moment, no one paid any attention to Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan; instead, all eyes were focused on that youthful pair.

”Ah, I see you two have advanced to the next round as well!”

After greeting Liu Hanyi, Yun Xiao turned his gaze, taking note of the trio’s position, and at once knew his Poison Vein Path opponents for the final round were these three. He couldn’t help but release a laugh with a special undertone.

”Yun Xiao, your luck can’t last forever, just you wait!”

Lu Tianwen’s expression was somewhat sullen, not showing much joy at his advancement, and his words further revealed the deadly enmity he held against Yun Xiao, suggesting an undying grudge.

”The vengeance for my lost arm will be exacted!”

Following Lu Tianwen’s words, Ghostly Poisonous Woman Song Qiuchan also spoke coldly, her eight words pouring out with chilling intent, causing many onlooking cultivators to shudder with fear.

”It’s Yun Xiao who broke Song Qiuchan’s arm?”

Only when they heard it come from Song Qiuchan’s own mouth did the crowd get a rough understanding of the arm-breaking incident, and their trepidation towards the coarse-clothed youth grew ever thicker.

Yun Xiao had unquestionably already advanced to the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, yet Song Qiuchan is a genuine Floating Life Realm Late Stage powerhouse, and also a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Poison Vein Master.

Everyone had heard of Yun Xiao’s past impressive achievements transcending ranks in battle, but those feats were limited to the Earth Rank Third Realm level. The gap between small realms in the Heavenly Rank Third Realm is far from comparable to those in the Earth Rank Third Realm.

Yet under such circumstances, Yun Xiao, a youth at the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, managed to break Song Qiuchan’s arm, a feat naturally causing utter shock.

Even Lu Tianwen, who had reached the Floating Life Realm Peak, and Gu Huashan, with his confident demeanor, couldn’t help but inwardly stiffen upon hearing Song Qiuchan’s words, secretly acknowledging Yun Xiao’s extraordinary danger.

Back in the trade exchange, Gu Huashan was forced to have his disciples apologize mainly due to Lianyun Mountain’s background, not Yun Xiao’s own power, as he himself was a Floating Life Realm Peak powerhouse.

But now, Yun Xiao had somehow broken the arm of the Floating Life Realm Late Stage powerhouse Song Qiuchan, something truly alarming.

Even Gu Huashan himself doesn’t have absolute confidence in breaking Song Qiuchan’s arm, considering she’s a genuine Heavenly Rank Low-Level Poison Vein Master with combat power surpassing ordinary cultivators at the same level.

Isn’t it then suggesting that Yun Xiao already possesses fighting prowess comparable to the Floating Life Realm Peak? Yet his Meridian Qi Cultivation is only at the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage!

These facts certainly raised enough vigilance in both Gu Huashan and Lu Tianwen, silently cautioning themselves to be doubly careful if they ever face Yun Xiao, lest they suffer a defeat like Song Qiuchan.

Meanwhile, most of the onlooking cultivators were left with only deep shock.

That youth not only secured the final advancement slot but also left Song Qiuchan in such a sorry state, showcasing his true strength.

Earlier, a tiny minority suspected some foul play by Qingmu Wu in the dual advancement of Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi, but now, they banished such thoughts completely.

It’s laughable; the ability to break the arm of a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Poison Vein Master, a Floating Life Realm Late Stage Song Qiuchan, alone justifies Yun Xiao’s advancement to the final round of the Poison Meridian Path without a hint of error.

Didn’t Song Qiuchan, with her broken arm, still achieve fourth place? Naturally, Yun Xiao, who broke her arm, is even more formidable.

Thus, everyone anticipates the second round’s competition even more, wondering what surprises the top meridian masters of the continent will bring in the final round.

And some astute observers, noticing the youthful talents in both the Medical Pulse and Poison Vein Path advancements, expressed their admiration.

Because both Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing have only risen as formidable talents in the past couple of years, yet their rise has been unyielding, and they’re now standing at the pinnacle of the continent’s Medical and Poison Pulse paths.

Not to mention the even more remarkable Yun Xiao, against whom many of the continent’s top meridian masters might pale. This ultimate showdown might be the chance for this young man to ascend to greatness.
