Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Huff... Huff...

In a certain place within the Refining Treasure Hall, a graceful figure in black suddenly lifted her head and looked toward the sky. In that instant, a gust of fierce wind arose from nowhere, with sand and rocks flying, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

This figure was naturally Mo Qing, who had entered the Refining Treasure Hall with Yun Xiao but had not seen him since. At this moment, there was an incredible look in her eyes.

Because, like the unexpected event a month ago, this commotion came suddenly and was quite large, leaving her completely unsure of what was happening.

It is worth mentioning that after the commotion a month ago, she had found many Earth Rank Advanced items within the Refining Treasure Hall, but had not found any Heavenly Rank Low Level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

At the same time, Liu Hanyi, in another direction, also sensed the same commotion as Mo Qing. She was equally puzzled, completely unaware of where this change came from.

In fact, this was the commotion brought about by Yun Xiao, who was about to successfully refine the Refining Treasure Hall. Once he truly succeeded, the hall would become his private possession, and naturally, outsiders would not be allowed to remain inside.

This was a natural reaction of the Refining Treasure Hall upon finding a new master, which was to expel everyone inside except Yun Xiao.

If Yun Xiao had control of his own consciousness at this moment, he might not take any action against Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi, and might even release some Heavenly Rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for them.

Unfortunately, Yun Xiao had fallen into a special dazed state at this moment, not led by his own will. The hall’s illusory consciousness could only distinguish the owner from outsiders, treating all equally.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, two beams of light were projected into the sky above the Refining Treasure Hall, targeting Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi. Their speed left no room for escape.

As the beams struck Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi, their bodies emitted a dazzling light, and after a moment of blinking, they vanished from within the Refining Treasure Hall.

......

Outside the Refining Treasure Hall!

Throughout this month, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu had not been guarding here constantly, but their visits were frequent; they both wanted to see the result.

Mo Qing was Qian Sanyuan’s disciple, Liu Hanyi was Qingmu Wu’s disciple, and they both felt uneasy yet eager, longing for a certain moment to arrive.

Of course, their greater expectation fell upon Yun Xiao, who was now an influential figure in both Lianyun Mountain and the entire Tenglong Continent.

Though these two often appeared at the Refining Treasure Hall, the President of the Meridian Refining General Assembly, Lu Yanji, had spent over half a month in retreat, familiarizing himself with his breakthrough to the Early Stage Heavenly Realm.

After this time spent in retreat, Lu Yanji had truly stabilized his cultivation at the Early Stage Heavenly Realm. Additionally, his Lu Family bloodline had initially activated, no longer being constrained as before.

One might say that during this period of closed cultivation, Lu Yanji discovered a fact—that breaking through to the Early Stage Heavenly Realm seemed to open a door to a new world, with a worldview much different than before.

Lu Yanji vaguely felt that the transformation within his body might have something to do with the young man named Yun Xiao, which made him even more grateful.

After all, Lu Yanji had been stuck at the Peak of Lingyun Realm for over a hundred years without breakthrough, always having a lingering shadow in his heart, feeling he could never reach the Heavenly Realm.

Now that he had broken through, those past hidden worries were completely resolved, and all of it was thanks to a young boy; alongside his gratitude, Lu Yanji felt some curiosity.

Of course, at this moment, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu, guarding the entrance to the Refining Treasure Gate, were unaware of Lu Yanji’s situation; their purpose was simply to witness a result.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At a certain moment, the Refining Treasure Hall suddenly radiated a brilliant light, followed by two beams flashing out, revealing two figures not unfamiliar to Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu.

”Hanyi?”

”Xiaoqing?”

Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan exclaimed in delight simultaneously. With their two’s Soul Sensing ability, they naturally sensed Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing immediately, realizing their improvements in strength.

Although the two women hadn’t broken through to the Middle Stage Floating Life Realm, they at least took another small step in the Early Stage Floating Life Realm, drawing closer to higher realms.

It is worth mentioning that Qian Sanyuan himself had broken through to the Peak of Floating Life Realm within this month, but he still felt somewhat inferior compared to his treasured disciple.

Even Qingmu Wu, who had already broken through to the Early Stage of Lingyun Realm, clearly understood that, given time, he might soon be surpassed by this exceptional disciple.

”Where is Yun Xiao?”

Qian Sanyuan looked around, and not seeing the rustic figure, he couldn’t help but ask. After all, this Refining Treasure Hall was quite mystical, and typically transmissions happened simultaneously.

The time entering the Refining Treasure Hall can be controlled by Qian Sanyuan using certain guiding objects, but the time of leaving the hall is not up to these outsiders.

”We also don’t know what happened, and to speak of it is quite strange, that day...”

Liu Hanyi spoke quickly, directly recounting the strange occurrences inside the Refining Treasure Hall, causing Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan to exchange a glance and see a hint of shock in each other’s eyes.

After all, the anomalies seen by the two women that day were puzzling even to Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu, how could the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside the Refining Treasure Hall fly out by themselves?

”Could it be that little Yun Xiao causing a commotion again?”

After exchanging glances, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu both had this thought in their minds, and considering Yun Xiao has yet to appear, the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed to them.

”Then...”

Clang clang clang!

Just as Qian Sanyuan wanted to say something more, a sudden urgent bell rang from afar, attracting all of their gazes.

”What’s happened?”

Turning his head, Qian Sanyuan heard the bell’s ring again, and a look of confusion appeared on his face, wondering if the bell had any abnormality, could there be an external threat?

Yet no matter how he thought, Qian Sanyuan couldn’t understand, with the current prestige of the Meridian Refining Master Association, how could anyone dare to provoke them easily?

It’s known that after the Meridian Refining Conference, what spread was not only Yun Xiao’s world-shaking Meridian Refining Technique, but also Lu Yanji’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm Early Stage.

In the Tenglong Continent, it has been so long without a Heavenly Rank expert appearing, otherwise during the emergence of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, everyone would have been powerless.

The Heavenly Realm Early Stage Lu Yanji, unquestionably deserved the title of the number one person in Tenglong Continent.

Moreover, with one breaking through to Lingyun Realm Early Stage, Qingmu Wu, and Yun Xiao, who plays by no rules, who would dare to provoke the Meridian Refining Master Association?

”Let’s go check it out first!”

Seeing the Refining Treasure Hall behind them return to calm, and Yun Xiao showing no signs of emerging, Qian Sanyuan waved his hand and, with a slightly somber expression, strode toward the direction of the bell’s ringing.

These people are Heavenly Rank experts, with their speed, they soon reached the square at the entrance of the Meridian Refining Master Association, where they saw two slightly unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar graceful figures.

”Ningxiang sister?”

Liu Hanyi, with sharp eyes, immediately saw the younger and somewhat weaker figure of the young girl, exclaiming in surprise, and feeling a touch of ominous foreboding.

”The other...is the Vice Hall Master Lian Yuluo of Xuanyin Hall? How did they come here?”

Qian Sanyuan reacted quickly as well, he had some acquaintanceship with the Vice Hall Master, also a Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Master of Xuanyin Hall, particularly after the battle on Impermanence Island, both sides had developed a solidarity against a common enemy.

Yet what puzzled Qian Sanyuan was why Lian Yuluo, who didn’t attend the Meridian Refining Conference, suddenly came to Lianyun Mountain more than a month after the conference ended, which seemed quite unreasonable.

”Haha, giving a notice before your visit, Vice Palace Master Lian’s honorable presence, how could you not notify in advance?”

Despite his doubts, Qian Sanyuan chuckled at this moment, but instead of drawing a response from the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall, he saw a glimmer of despair in her eyes.

”What’s happened?”

Approaching them, Qian Sanyuan clearly sensed the disordered and weakened aura on these two women, and noticing such expressions, his face tightened, softly questioning.

At this moment, Qian Sanyuan already guessed that something major might have happened, and for it to put the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall and the newly risen Queen of Absolute Vein, Xue Ningxiang, in such a state, it must be something extraordinary.

”Xuanyin Hall...is gone!”

Upon catching her breath, Lian Yuluo’s first words were shocking, not only leaving the receiving Elder of Lianyun Mountain dumbfounded but also causing Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu to tremble violently.

From the five words spoken by Lian Yuluo, the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall, Qian Sanyuan and others absorbed a massive amount of information, yet how could such a result happen?

Xuanyin Hall, one of the four top forces in Tenglong Continent, whose Hall Master Xue Tianao’s strength ranked second on the Heavenly List, right after Lu Yanji.

Moreover, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu had heard that after returning from the Impermanence Island battle, Xue Tianao had fortunately broken through to the Peak of Lingyun Realm, who except Lu Yanji could be his match?

Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu had every reason to believe that such a formidable Xuanyin Hall would deter anyone from dare provoking them, even Wuyan Palace would weigh their decisions heavily.
