Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Mu Qingyi, a top-ranking genius among the younger generation of the assassin organization Dark Assassination, is much younger than Yue Man Building, yet her cultivation is already at the Heavenly Realm Late Stage.

Being able to cultivate Meridian Qi to such a level at such a young age, Mu Qingyi’s status within Dark Assassination is apparent, and some even regard her as the successor of the next Dragon Needle.

The Divine Dragon is the Sovereign of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud legend. The Dark Assassination cultivator who can be called the Dragon Needle is the highest leader of this organization, undoubtedly a formidable force in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Countless strong practitioners have perished under the Dark Assassins over the years. Even the Family Heads of some top families or the heads of top sects turn pale at the mention of this organization.

Mu Qingyi right now is only limited by her age and cannot compare to the most elite young geniuses within Dark Assassination, but with time, surpassing those top geniuses is a certainty.

This has led to Mu Qingyi’s constant pride. Even when facing the few big geniuses within Dark Assassination, she can maintain her composure, let alone Yue Man Building, whose strength is a notch below hers.

The commotion in the Yannan Mountain Range spread widely, and Mu Qingyi and Yue Man Building happened to be on an assassination mission in the area. After successfully completing the mission, they decided to visit the Yannan Mountain Range.

However, as Mu Qingyi is a cultivation fanatic, the trivial matters of finding the Nangong Family’s secret stash were naturally left to Yue Man Building, while she has been cultivating here for more than half a month.

”Um... Senior Sister Qingyi, the Nangong Family’s secret treasure still hasn’t been found...”

In Dark Assassination, status is determined by strength. Hence, even though Mu Qingyi is young, she is respectfully addressed as Senior Sister. Upon hearing Yue Man Building’s words, a shadow of gloom flickered in her eyes.

”If you haven’t found it, why did you come back?”

Mu Qingyi was at a critical moment in her cultivation when Yue Man Building interrupted her. Naturally, her mood was not good, and she cut him off with deep dissatisfaction in her voice.

”Senior Sister Qingyi, listen to me. Although I haven’t found the Nangong Family’s secret treasure, I have stumbled upon another treasure that will definitely interest you!”

Yue Man Building wanted his senior sister to stand up for him, so he didn’t get angry and cleverly redirected the conversation to another topic to implement his plan.

”While searching for the Nangong Family’s secret treasure, I accidentally discovered a pool of Heaven Rank Advanced Heavenly Void Soul Liquid, but just as I was about to collect it, a despicable brat snatched it!”

Yue Man Building, with a glib tongue, turned what originally was his attempt to snatch the treasure from Yun Xiao’s hands into a story of someone else stealing from him, exhibiting remarkable shamelessness.

”Oh? Heaven Rank Advanced Heavenly Void Soul Liquid?”

Just as Yue Man Building expected, Heaven Rank Advanced Heavenly Void Soul Liquid is something no Dark Assassination Heavenly Realm cultivator could remain calm about, as it relates to their assassination arts.

The assassins in Dark Assassination begin by cultivating how to conceal their presence, closely related to the Power of Soul.

With a strong Power of Soul, not only can one conceal their aura, but they can also sense the enemy’s every move, increasing the assurance of a kill with one strike during action.

The Heaven Rank Advanced Heavenly Void Soul Liquid undeniably enhances an assassin’s Power of Soul significantly. Unfortunately, it’s extremely rare, and advanced Heavenly Void Soul Liquid is even scarcer. Mu Qingyi had never seen it before.

”Aren’t you a match for that brat?”

As a talented assassin, Mu Qingyi is naturally very cautious. She suppressed her deep desire for the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid and asked a crucial question.

This valuable item shouldn’t be missed, but if the opponent is an invincible strong practitioner, it would be unwise to provoke and rob them forcefully. Mu Qingyi needed to clarify the opponent’s strength.

”I guess he’s on par with me at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, just employing some unexpected clever tactics. If Senior Sister Qingyi takes action, you can certainly seize it effortlessly!”

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yue Man Building’s face, quickly concealed, as he enticed with persuasion. He believed this senior sister couldn’t resist the temptation of the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid.

”Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, huh?”

Although she could sense some fabrications in Yue Man Building’s words, Mu Qingyi already stood up, and from her low mutterings, there seemed to be little apprehension.

In fact, assassins like Mu Qingyi typically don’t engage in direct confrontation. Under their assassination art, they can sometimes achieve miraculous effects.

Once, Mu Qingyi unexpectedly executed a Heavenly Realm Peak expert with one strike, piercing their throat before they could even retaliate, stunning the entire Dark Assassination organization.

From that event, Mu Qingyi’s status within the Dark Assassination organization soared, and even the few top geniuses ranked before her treated her with considerable respect.

This is the allure of assassination techniques, so Mu Qingyi believed that even if the rustic brat Yue Man Building mentioned was a Heavenly Realm Late Stage expert like herself, he probably couldn’t withstand her thunderous strike.

”In that case, I’ll take that Heavenly Void Soul Liquid too!”

Mu Qingyi stood up, her voice cold as she spoke, and as her voice fell, her gaze suddenly shifted to the northern sky, filled with a hint of delight.

Boom!

Following Mu Qingyi’s movement, Star Moon Pavilion naturally also turned his gaze to the northern sky. Just as he turned his head, a majestic energy fluctuation had already emanated from that direction.

”Is this...”

Star Moon Pavilion was initially stunned, then caught the delighted expression on Mu Qingyi’s face, and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, ”Could that be the hidden location of the Nangong Family’s Secret Treasure?”

”Hehe, it seems those old folks in the Nangong Family are really cunning. That place isn’t the Nangong Family’s former headquarters!”

Mu Qingyi obviously thought deeper, recalling the former headquarters of the Nangong Family in her mind, she couldn’t help but let out a sneer, but her voice carried a hint of joy.

”Let’s go, don’t let others beat us to it!”

Mu Qingyi was decisive, and as a strange aura emerged from her body, her graceful figure rose into the air, with Star Moon Pavilion quickly following behind. The two figures soon disappeared into the northern sky.

.......

Similarly, deep in the Yannan Mountain Range.

”Brother Yun Xiao, what’s... what’s going on?”

The genius of the Nangong Family, Nangong Xiaofeng, held a bead emitting golden light, while his gaze turned to the northern sky where waves of fluctuations were emanating.

The young man in simple clothes standing beside Nangong Xiaofeng was naturally Yun Xiao. In recent days, they had been wandering the Yannan Mountain Range, yet had not found the supposed hidden location of the Nangong Family’s Secret Treasure.

Just today, when Nangong Xiaofeng intended to use the Gong Jinzhu for sensing, unexpectedly, this bead with a dense gold attribute suddenly shone brightly, and from the distant north came a resonating power.

Nangong Xiaofeng had secretly visited this Yannan Mountain Range before, and the ruins guarded by experts of the Emperor Canglong Palace he naturally didn’t dare to go, but he had never discovered any anomalies.

”Looks like we’ve already drawn close to the true hidden location of the Nangong Family’s Secret Treasure!”

Yun Xiao thought much further. Previously, the Gong Jinzhu was not activated by the direct descendant bloodline of the Nangong Tomb, hence it showed no anomalies, but now things were different.

Due to Nangong Xiaofeng’s inadvertent blood seepage, Gong Jinzhu possessed a mysterious sensing ability, like the current northern sky anomaly, which should be caused by Gong Jinzhu.

”That direction doesn’t seem to be the former headquarters of the Nangong Family!”

Having known well the location of the Nangong Family’s headquarters from his earlier associations, Yun Xiao murmured, prompting a slight nod from Nangong Xiaofeng beside him.

All along, Nangong Xiaofeng believed the Secret Treasure of the Nangong Family might be in the former headquarters, if that were so, acquiring it would be extraordinarily difficult.

If he dared to show up at the ruins of the Nangong Family, regardless of whether he was an escaped member of the Nangong Family, he’d likely be captured and interrogated by the Emperor Canglong Palace.

If that were the case, Nangong Xiaofeng could only sigh with regret, as compared to the possible Secret Treasure, perhaps his life was the most important.

”Since we have a guide, we must check it out no matter what!”

After staring at the northern sky for a while, Yun Xiao smiled lightly and said, ”But with such a big commotion, it’s likely to be extremely lively next. Xiaofeng, are you scared?”

”Haha, with Brother Yun Xiao accompanying me, I doubt Fei Qingchen would dare to cause trouble again!”

Nangong Xiaofeng laughed heartily, exuding boldness, and the only one he feared was indeed Fei Qingchen, Chief of Yongxiu City Emperor Palace.

”Heh, maybe it’s not just Fei Qingchen!”

Thinking of that near-death encounter with the Dark Star Moon Pavilion, Yun Xiao revealed a peculiar expression but said no more, as his figure disappeared into the dense forest.

All of a sudden, due to the energy wave triggered by Gong Jinzhu, many cultivators in the Yannan Mountain Range were drawn to it. Not knowing what would happen next, they all flocked to the source of the fluctuation.
