Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Boom!

The first clash between the top talents of Yulong City concluded with a powerful energy surge. This simple exchange left both combatants with differing expressions.

Wang Zifu initially thought that with his Floating Life Realm Early Stage cultivation, defeating Lu Lianyu, who was only at Half-step Heavenly Rank, would be effortless. However, the outcome was far from his expectations.

In their exchange, Lu Lianyu indeed stumbled back two steps, but surprisingly, Wang Zifu also retreated two steps, revealing a completely balanced situation between the two.

”Lu Lianyu, you’ve actually broken through to the Floating Life Realm Early Stage!”

Wang Zifu, filled with doubt and disbelief, involuntarily exclaimed, causing the Wang Family Elders, including Wang Yinglong and others, to change their expressions slightly.

Breaking through from the Earth Rank Third Realm to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm is a significant milestone in cultivation. Many remain stuck at this level for a lifetime, highlighting the formidable divide.

Though Wang Yinglong had no children, his ambitions were immense. He aspired to replace Wang Yingqi, not allowing the Wang Family to be swallowed by the Lu Family.

However, seeing not only Lu Guixiong’s formidable strength but also the young Lu Lianyu breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Realm, Wang Yinglong’s mindset began to shift.

Yet, at this moment, Wang Yinglong wasn’t overly concerned with these distant matters. He knew the immediate priority was to control the Wang Family elders opposed to him.

Wang Yinglong believed that as long as he controlled these elders, his brother would be wary and distracted, allowing Lu Guixiong to seize the opportunity.

This ambitious Second Family Head of the Wang Family no longer considered blood ties. He only desired to become the Wang Family Patriarch. Thus, he withdrew his gaze from the two geniuses battling once more.

”Are you still going to resist stubbornly?”

Wang Yinglong, feeling quite triumphant, threatened the angry Wang Family Elders, causing them to tremble slightly.

”Those who recognize the times are wise, or as the saying goes, ’Keep the green hills, fear not for firewood.’ Why do you think the Wang Family won’t be better under my leadership?”

These elders were the Wang Family’s backbone, and Wang Yinglong didn’t wish to slaughter them indiscriminately. If they recognized the times, he wouldn’t mind sparing their lives.

”Traitors to the clan deserve punishment by all! His righteous words are just an excuse for his ambition, don’t believe him!”

The Wang Family Second Elder, filled with righteous indignation, unafraid of Wang Yinglong’s persuasive words, instead cursed him at this moment.

”Old fool seeking death!”

Wang Yinglong, brimming with confidence, couldn’t tolerate the mockery. He shouted angrily, and a massive surge of Meridian Qi erupted from him.

Though Wang Yinglong’s cultivation wasn’t as high as his brother’s, he was a legitimate Lingyun Realm Early Stage cultivator. The Wang Family Second Elder, on the other hand, was only a Floating Life Realm Peak cultivator, incomparable to him.

”Not good!”

As Wang Yinglong’s aura exploded, the Second Elder’s face changed drastically. He attempted to dodge, but Wang Yinglong’s speed left no room for escape.

Not everyone could fight across ranks like Yun Xiao. At least this Wang Family Second Elder couldn’t, leading to his inevitable tragedy.

Bang!

A loud sound echoed, and everyone saw an old figure, like a rag doll, fly backward - it was the Wang Family Second Elder.

”Cough!”

As the Second Elder flew, he spat a mouthful of blood, staining the air with a bloody mist, silencing the Wang Family elders in fear.

The blood spat by the Second Elder was mixed with fragments of his internal organs. It was evident Wang Yinglong had shown no mercy, intending to set a brutal example.

Clearly, after such a powerful attack, the Wang Family Second Elder wouldn’t survive. Wang Yinglong expected this outcome, walking away with a cold smile.

Wang Yinglong knew this Second Elder, aside from his brother and nephew, was the most unlikely to submit. He couldn’t let him survive.

This situation served dual purposes: eliminating an unyielding adversary and intimidating the wavering Wang Family Elders. What was there not to gain?

”See, this is the fate of those who resist!”

Retrieving his gaze from the Wang Family Second Elder, whose aura was about to disperse, Wang Yinglong wore a look of smugness and sneered as his eyes turned to the remaining Wang Family Elders. His words carried an unmistakable threat.

From Wang Yinglong’s words, it was not hard to discern that anyone who did not recognize the current circumstances would end up like the Wang Family Second Elder, a threat at the Lingyun Realm Early Stage, terrifying indeed.

”Everyone, don’t be intimidated by him. Wang Yinglong colluded with external enemies, attempting to usurp the position of Family Head. He is a great traitor to our Wang family. We’d rather die than submit!”

However, just as Wang Yinglong thought everyone would be frightened by his methods, a voice emerged from the midst of the Elders, causing his expression to darken instantly.

Wang Yinglong naturally recognized this speaking Elder, but this Elder usually kept a low profile, and during family meetings, he was always timid and did not dare to say much. Wang Yinglong never expected this person to be so bold.

Moreover, what this Wang Family Elder said was the truth, directly exposing Wang Yinglong’s ambitious nature, making those wavering Wang Family Elders seem as if they had made a certain decision.

”Wang Yinglong, do you really think that after Lu Guixiong kills the Family Head, he will still divide the territory with our Wang Family in Yulong City? When the time comes, without the Family Head, what will you use to contend with Lu Guixiong, who is at the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage?”

This Wang Family Elder was undoubtedly clear-headed at this moment. With just a few words, he laid bare the truth, causing those Elders loyal to Wang Yinglong to feel a chill in their hearts.

Although many of these Wang Family Elders were aware of Wang Yinglong’s collusion with the Lu Family, they had not thought deeply about other aspects. Now that the Elder spoke it out, it undoubtedly made them think of many things.

Indeed, as this person said, Lu Guixiong was already a strong figure at the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage. The Wang Family’s only match for him was the current Family Head, Wang Yingqi. Even the ambitious Wang Yinglong was a step behind.

For a place like Yulong City, once a chaotic city, promises meant nothing, as they were thrown into the gutter. Even taking the Heavenly Tribulation Poison Oath might still have other resolutions.

”Old man, stop spreading fear! Since you won’t submit, then die!”

Apparently noticing the expressions of many Wang Family Elders, Wang Yinglong’s heart was also chilled. He dared not let the old man continue speaking, so he shouted loudly and launched an attack.

”For the future of our Wang Family, everyone, let’s work together and stop him!”

The Elder knew his strength was not as good as the Second Elder’s, so he never intended to face Wang Yinglong’s powerful attack alone. At this moment, he could only rely on numbers for strength.

Unfortunately, the gap between Great Ranks is not something that numbers can make up for. Even if these Elders, at most at the Floating Life Realm Peak, joined forces, they were all severely injured by Wang Yinglong within a few moves.

Boom boom boom!

After just a moment, many of the Wang Family Elders loyal to the current Family Head were left disoriented, each of them collapsing on the ground with weak auras, although their condition was a bit better than the critically injured Second Elder.

It seemed Wang Yinglong did indeed care about the words of the previous Elder. For the future of the Wang Family, he had to preserve its living force.

As for how to persuade these Wang Family Elders to join him, Wang Yinglong believed there would be plenty of time and methods to make these old folks submit.

Thus, only Wang Yingqi and his son were left fighting on their own in the field. As time went on, both of them began to fall into a disadvantage, making the severely injured Elders look extremely grim.

”The Wang Family is finished!”

The Wang Family Elder who spoke earlier endured severe internal injuries, his murmured words sending the hearts of all Wang Family Elders into the depths of despair.

”Tsk tsk, I say, Zilang, your Wang Family is truly lively!”

However, just as the thoughts of all Wang Family Elders were diverging, a voice tinged with sentiment suddenly came from outside the hall door, attracting their attention.

Looking over, they saw two young figures walking in tandem. The one in the lead was dressed in rough cloth clothing, with delicate features and a strange wooden sword strapped to his back, appearing quite lazy.

When the crowd’s attention turned to the figure beside the youth in rough clothing, they were collectively stunned because this figure was not a stranger to them at all.

”Third Young Master?”

The Elder who spoke earlier widened his eyes in astonishment. How could he forget the third young master, a waste of the Wang Family, hence he exclaimed out loud.

”Why has this waste Wang Zilang suddenly returned?”

The Elder’s reminder snapped Wang Yinglong back to attention. The initial sense of awe dissipated as he saw Wang Zilang.

Wang Zilang was infamous within the Wang Family as a waste. Even after being relegated to the Five Desolate Village for over a year, this fact never changed. What waves could such waste stir upon returning to the family?
