Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Damn it, what exactly is Lu Tianwen trying to do?”

The Huashan Old Monster, who also collapsed to the ground, never expected such an outcome. Hearing him curse out loud, there was a hint of undisguised fear in his voice.

Previously, Gu Huashan undoubtedly harbored the greatest hatred towards Yun Xiao, wishing that Lu Tianwen would use his means to poison Yun Xiao to death on the stone platform, thus quenching the hatred in his heart.

However, Yun Xiao’s later performance was extremely dazzling, effectively using an unknown method to subdue Lu Tianwen, forcing him to bow and plead for mercy.

This once made Gu Huashan feel an insurmountable sense regarding Yun Xiao, yet the deep resentment in his heart hadn’t dissipated, leaving a trace of extravagant hope.

But at this moment, when Lu Tianwen truly wielded a method that might reverse the situation, the feelings in Gu Huashan’s heart became exceedingly strange.

If the deadly poison Lu Tianwen cast was only targeting Yun Xiao, it would surely be news that Gu Huashan would delight in. Yet, he never imagined that Lu Tianwen would be so insane as to poison everyone present.

Moreover, hearing the venomous words Lu Tianwen had just spoken, Gu Huashan had every reason to believe that the vice president of Spirit Fighting Commerce, who unleashed this deadly poison, had no qualms about killing them all here.

No matter what is said, Lu Tianwen, able to cast a Heavenly Rank Advanced poison at this moment, already breaks the rules. How could a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Poison Vein Master refine such a formidable poison?

In contrast to Gu Huashan’s complex feelings, the other Meridian Refiners who came to Lianyun Mountain to watch the fun, or those who had been eliminated earlier, all felt only fear coursing through their limp arms and legs.

No one ever thought that Lu Tianwen would do something like this. It wasn’t just targeting Yun Xiao but was against the entire Lianyun Mountain, and indeed against everyone attending this Meridian Refining Conference.

”Lu Tianwen, this is the site of the Meridian Refining Conference. Aren’t you afraid of inciting public outrage by doing this?”

Though Qihuang Saint Hand Xiao Shijing was a Medical Pulse Master and generally mild-mannered, he couldn’t help but voice his reproach as deep panic arose within him.

”Hahaha, public outrage? At this point, why would I be afraid of any public outrage?”

Just as Xiao Shijing’s words fell, Lu Tianwen laughed loudly three times, then pointed to the rough-clothed young man still standing not far away and harshly shouted, ”This is all because Yun Xiao forced me. Blame that little bastard if you must!”

”And I’m not afraid to tell you, once poisoned by me, every single one of you here today won’t leave alive. So, is public outrage still meaningful?”

After his venomous speech, Lu Tianwen felt quite satisfied. He was extremely confident in this deadly poison he cast out, as it had reached the Heavenly Rank Advanced level.

The Heavenly Rank Advanced poison could only be neutralized by a Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refiner and furthermore one well-studied in poisons, otherwise, definitely powerless.

Moreover, this poison wasn’t refined by Lu Tianwen himself but was passed down from a presence from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Plane, more formidable and robust than any Heavenly Rank Advanced poison on the Tenglong Continent.

Among the Meridian Refiners now known on the Tenglong Continent, only Lu Yanji had broken through to the Heavenly Rank Intermediate Meridian Refiner level, and now there was Lu Tianwen at most.

But this poison was Heavenly Rank Advanced, and Lu Tianwen believed that even if the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association personally intervened, he couldn’t possibly neutralize this Heavenly Rank Advanced poison from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Watching as the giants of Lianyun Mountain all collapsed, Lu Tianwen grew even more complacent. At this moment, he had evidently forgotten that he too was poisoned. He only knew that the major trend was back in his grasp.

”So, Yun Xiao, didn’t expect this, did you? In such a desperate situation, I can indeed turn the tide!”

Originally kneeling on the ground, Lu Tianwen slowly stood up, staring at the rough-clothed young man who appeared calm, mocking laughter escaped his lips. He believed this boy wouldn’t last much longer.

”Tsk tsk, Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace, it’s really been a long time!”

Little did Lu Tianwen expect that Yun Xiao paid no attention to his pride, instead slightly sensing the surrounding aura, with a somewhat emotional look in his eyes.

Just as Yun Xiao expected, this was another powerful poison belonging to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. Coincidentally, he was extremely familiar with this kind of poison since it was intertwined with his past life’s wife, Qinwan.

The so-called Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace was colorless and invisible when cast, but it would cause a person to lose their sanity. The current weakness in everyone’s body was merely the first manifestation of this poison.

Yun Xiao clearly understood that, over time, these people would inhale more of the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace and their minds would fall into a special state, seeing everyone as an enemy, wishing to kill and destroy them.

In this way, Yun Xiao was more convinced that the Spirit Fighting Commerce and the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud were definitely intricately connected, and even had deep ties with the Emperor Canglong Palace or the Lu Family.

Whether it was Qin’s Enchanting Fragrance Dew, Heavenly Wave Soul Capture, or the previous Red Powder Skull, Yun Xiao was extremely knowledgeable about them; they were all inseparably linked to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Lu Family.

Now Lu Tianwen actually used this so-called Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace once again, which further confirmed Yun Xiao’s suspicions, so he resolved to figure out the cause and result of this matter.

Currently, Lu Tianwen was targeting him so specifically. Although there was enmity between them from the killing of disciples that was irreconcilable, the things the old guy used couldn’t have been prepared on a whim but rather premeditated.

It seemed as if it was specifically prepared for this Meridian Refining Conference. From this point onward, Yun Xiao knew the matter wasn’t as simple as just personal grudges; a careless move might lead to a fate beyond redemption.

Now Yun Xiao, although not invincible on the Tenglong Continent, if his greatest secret were to be known by the old acquaintances from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, things would become much more complicated.

Regarding the grudges of his past life, Yun Xiao never forgot them momentarily but he knew that until his strength reached the peak of his past life, he must not act recklessly, or he would only face failure.

He didn’t expect the intersection with his past life to come so quickly, and recently, the poisons that Lu Tianwen and his disciples had been using might shorten the intersection with his past life by countless times.

”Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace? What is that?”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s lamentation, Lu Tianwen, the Poisoner, showed a trace of bewilderment because he didn’t even know the name of the poison he had used.

When Xue Qi initially gave Lu Tianwen the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace, she didn’t mention the origin or name of this poison. After all, Heavenly Rank Advanced poisons were already considered unbeatable on the Tenglong Continent.

No matter what, Xue Qi was a prominent figure descending from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, with even an Emperor Canglong or Emperor Palace standing behind her.

The hierarchy of the three interfaces of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was stringent; if a strong figure from the upper interface were to go on a killing spree in the lower interface, who could withstand it?

Take those Holy Rank Experts from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, each of them carried absolute dominance on the Tenglong Continent; couldn’t they kill whoever they wanted?

Clearly, the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud also had its own set of rules, and these rules existed to prevent strong figures from the upper interface from committing heinous acts in the lower interface.

One could say Xue Qi’s actions this time breached these unwritten rules, hence she didn’t want to reveal her identity immediately, nor did she want the name of the Heavenly Rank Advanced poison to be known.

After all, even though this was the Tenglong Continent, many powerful sects’ legacies originated from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. If the illustrious Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud were leaked, it wouldn’t be surprising for people to suspect the Emperor Canglong Palace.

As the current direct disciple of the Emperor Canglong, Xue Qi might not fear others’ doubts but preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble; she acted very cautiously.

The earlier Heavenly Wave Soul Capture or Red Powder Skull, strictly speaking, were not beyond the tolerable range of the Tenglong Continent, so Xue Qi didn’t have any scruples.

However, the Heavenly Rank Advanced poison Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace was essentially bullying, so Xue Qi didn’t fully disclose the details of this poison, and even if Lu Tianwen knew, it would be of no use.

But this kind of Heavenly Rank Advanced poison, whose name even he didn’t know, seemed to be understood by the rough-clothed youth across from him, causing a faint unease to rise in Lu Tianwen’s heart.

”Humph, Yun Xiao, this is a Heavenly Rank Advanced poison, I don’t believe you can neutralize it?”

However, the next moment when Lu Tianwen thought of the poison’s grade, his confidence surged again. He coldly snorted, and this sentence caused everyone’s heart to sink to the bottom.

Because, until this moment, everyone finally heard Lu Tianwen personally admit that it was a Heavenly Rank Advanced poison, and such poison would undoubtedly plunge them into extreme despair.

Among the present people, there were many Heavenly Rank Lower Level Meridian Refiners, who had still held some hope before, thinking Lu Tianwen hadn’t used a Heavenly Rank Advanced poison.

With the combined effort of many Heavenly Rank Medical Pulse Masters and Poison Vein Masters, perhaps they could neutralize the Heavenly Rank poison, but hearing Lu Tianwen’s words, they completely dismissed this notion.
