Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Lord Supervisor, kill him! Kill that little bastard!”

Seeing Yue Qizhai extend his left hand, repeatedly tapping around his right shoulder that was bleeding like a fountain, he couldn’t help expressing his malicious voice, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

The crowd prior to this might have guessed the possible outcome, but when it truly appeared, they still felt somewhat incredulous.

Firstly, Yue Qizhai, as a Heavenly Realm Peak expert and also a Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master, was made miserable by a mere young boy with poison, even cutting off one of his own arms.

What shocked the onlooking cultivators even more was where this boy came from, daring to treat the Emperor Palace Director as nothing, wasn’t this a slap to the face of the Canglong Emperor Palace?

Thinking of the colossal Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, everyone’s expressions turned exceptionally strange, wondering how many years it had been since the fall of the Long Xiao Battle God a hundred years ago, and the subsequent destruction of the Four Great Families, before they saw such a rampant individual?

The power of the Canglong Emperor Palace was already deeply ingrained in the minds of these Nine-layered Dragon Cloud cultivators, yet suddenly there appeared someone daring to provoke them, evoking an indescribable sense of excitement among the shocked onlookers.

After all, in recent years, the actions of the Emperor Palace Director have become increasingly arrogant, with cultivators in the major cities daring to be angry but not dare to speak, it’s absolutely impossible they hold no resentment in their hearts.

But even if there is a stronger individual than the directors of each city’s Emperor Palace, they would not easily dare to challenge the Emperor Palace Director, because that could bring catastrophe not only to themselves but also to their family sect.

Under the strange thoughts of the onlookers, Tan Qigong, as the Director of the Murong City Emperor Palace, felt as if a suppressed anger in his chest was about to explode.

This was done right in front of him, the Emperor Palace Director, turning an elder of the Emperor Palace into such a miserable state, compared to the unseen death of Yuan Dayou, Yue Qizhai’s plight undoubtedly impacted Tan Qigong even more.

”You little bastard, I, Tan Qigong, swear I will break your limbs, smash your teeth, and leave you at the shore of Yingrong Lake to be bitten to death by countless Vein Demons!”

Consumed by rage, Tan Qigong no longer had his previous calm and collected demeanor. The malicious words from his mouth and the chilling consequences made everyone shiver uncontrollably.

It seems this Emperor Palace Director was truly enraged, and he could imagine if today’s events here spread to the major cities, Murong City Emperor Palace would likely become a laughingstock among other Emperor Palace Directors.

For public and private reasons, Tan Qigong absolutely cannot allow such things to happen. He believed that as long as he dealt with this coarse-clothed boy under the eyes of everyone, and fulfilled his promise just now, perhaps it would yield unexpected effects.

Any cultivator who challenged the dignity of the Emperor Palace Director could never continue to live freely, even the mighty Four Great Families were ultimately uprooted by the Canglong Emperor Palace.

”I say, you’re still the dignified Emperor Palace Director, can’t the end of that old guy make you realize something?”

In response to Tan Qigong’s threats, a trace of fierce light flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, yet the words from his mouth merely elicited a sneer from the latter.

”Do you really think I’m as useless as Yue Qizhai?”

Tan Qigong naturally saw Yue Qizhai’s miserable state, and at this moment, a Second Elder whose strength might have drastically declined already seemed like waste in his eyes, making Yue Qizhai, who had lost an arm, turn pale and listless.

Honestly, at this moment Yue Qizhai’s situation was tragic yet only led to losing an arm, at least his life was still preserved, showing that the means of this coarse-clothed boy were not too deadly.

”Actually, I made a mistake just now, do you really believe my words, thinking cutting off an arm would save your life?”

However, just as Yue Qizhai considered himself extremely fortunate in misfortune, a few more words from the mouth of the coarse-clothed young boy made him first dazed and then his body trembled violently.

Honestly speaking, although Yue Qizhai was bellowing at Yun Xiao earlier, seemingly fierce, deep in his heart he truly harbored a shred of fear towards the mysterious coarse-clothed boy.

With Meridian Qi Cultivation not too far apart, and poisoning skills so strange, at this moment Yue Qizhai was genuinely skeptical about Yun Xiao’s words, quickly circulating the remaining Meridian Qi through his body.

”There’s nothing!”

As Yue Qizhai felt relieved, he cast a contemptuous glance at the coarse-clothed boy, assuming it was the other party trying to scare him, hence the alarmist words.

”Why? You don’t believe?”

Yun Xiao naturally perceived Yue Qizhai’s expression, heard him let out a soft laugh, then raised his right arm, and gently clenched his five fingers, resembling a mysterious seal.

Boom!

As Yun Xiao’s right hand closed its five fingers, everyone could clearly sense an incredibly powerful force erupting from Yue Qizhai, and the momentum was astonishing.

”Stop!”

At the same time, Tan Qigong’s face involuntarily changed dramatically. Although he believed Yue Qizhai had become useless, to attempt to kill the Second Elder of the Emperor Palace in front of him was far too disrespectful.

Unfortunately, Tan Qigong’s loud shout did not cause Yun Xiao’s movements to pause in the slightest. As that force erupted from Yue Qizhai, his entire face twisted to the point of distortion.

An utterly irresistible force erupted within his body, making Yue Qizhai finally understand that Yun Xiao was not being alarmist but had indeed planted something obscure within him.

This thing could not be sensed at all before being activated, but at this moment, along with rising panic, Yue Qizhai felt a touch of admiration for that simply dressed boy.

After all, Yue Qizhai himself was a Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master, and even if he wanted to use poison on an enemy, it would be impossible to achieve such undetectability.

This faint admiration only existed in Yue Qizhai’s heart for a breath before fully turning into venomous resentment; at this moment, he seemed to have guessed that the other was doing it on purpose.

Previously, Yun Xiao told him to cut off his arm to save his life, which was obviously toying with Yue Qizhai. After he really did cut off his right arm, he found that the violent poisonous energy had long infiltrated every part of his body.

Cutting off his own right arm was undoubtedly the hope birthed in despair for Yue Qizhai, but now that newly kindled hope for survival was shattered by the other’s light grasp.

”Kill him... kill him... kill...”

The rampant poisonous energy within caused Yue Qizhai’s heart to fill with venomous despair, but his voice grew weaker and weaker. Only those with keen Power of Soul could barely hear the words ”kill him.”

”Alas, I told you not to be so presumptuous; now you’re suffering for it, aren’t you?”

Seeing Yue Qizhai fall lifelessly, Yun Xiao’s face involuntarily showed a touch of emotion, and the sound from his mouth made many people ponder.

Whether Yun Xiao had spoken this sentence earlier didn’t matter much now. Before this battle, few would have believed that someone at the Heavenly Realm Late Stage, like him, could win so easily, right?

Especially winning at Yue Qizhai’s expertise, the Poison Meridian Skill. After realizing this fact, even Tan Qigong’s face showed a trace of vigilance.

This Director of the Murong City Emperor Palace had not broken through to the true Holy Vein Three Realms, and since that youth’s poison could easily kill Yue Qizhai, a moment of carelessness could spell trouble even for him.

This is why Poison Vein Masters are dreaded, and no one dares to provoke them lightly. It could be said that after Yun Xiao’s and Yue Qizhai’s brief battle and easily poisoning the latter to death, none dared to underestimate him anymore in the field.

”Kid, no matter what background you have, today you can’t escape death!”

However, Tan Qigong was, after all, the Director of the Murong City Emperor Palace. After a brief shock, he corrected his stance, and his words made many secretly nod in agreement.

Yue Qizhai was the Second Elder of the Murong City Emperor Palace. Including the Fourth Elder Yuan Dayou, two palace elders had already died at Yun Xiao’s hands.

Under such circumstances, if Tan Qigong were to be frightened by Yun Xiao’s Poison Meridian Skill and not dare to act, the news would mean his time as director was over.

The decline of Murong City Emperor Palace’s prestige would be secondary. More importantly, it would affect the deterrence of Canglong Emperor Palace. At a crucial time when Canglong Emperor Palace was eager to integrate the major forces of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, such an event would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental.

Thinking of these consequences, Tan Qigong, with apprehension, had to act. Moreover, in front of this crowd, he certainly couldn’t kill everyone present, right?

To uphold the dignity of the Emperor Palace and even Canglong Emperor Palace, Tan Qigong had no option to retreat. As a Half-step Holy Rank powerhouse, he believed that as long as he was careful not to get caught in that boy’s poison, victory would be his.

”Tsk tsk, you really have quite the guts!”

Seeing the dense Meridian Qi emerging from Tan Qigong, a gleam flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and he softly spoke, causing many to show sneering disdain, especially among the members of the Emperor Palace.

”Hmph, does this boy honestly believe that by using some trick to kill Yue Qizhai, he can contend with Lord Supervisor?”
