Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Especially in recent times, Yun Xiao has been venturing far and wide, continuously destroying the Wuyan Palace and Spirit Fighting Commerce, two super forces. Eliminating such top forces seems as simple as eating and drinking to him.

People like Duan Zixiao and Zhao Gujin might not want to bow their heads, but as a Sect Leader or Clan Leader, they have to consider the other disciples or clansmen.

Should Yun Xiao ever remember his past grudges, how could they possibly withstand such a formidable star of calamity? It might be better to take advantage of this opportunity to speak things out and leave everything to fate.

Perhaps Duan Zixiao and others subconsciously think Yun Xiao, in such a public setting, would consider his own face and wouldn’t possibly kill them in front of so many people, right?

Especially seeing that a few other families have the same plan as themselves, they are even more certain that Yun Xiao would not hold onto this matter relentlessly.

It can be said that the actions of Duan Zixiao and these other leaders gave Yun Xiao both face and respect, using this chance to resolve the grudges could lead to everyone’s happiness.

”Is there anyone else who wishes to seek my, Yun Xiao’s, forgiveness?”

After Ye Suxin had finished speaking for quite a while, Yun Xiao, seeing that no one else was speaking, finally uttered in a deep voice. His tone revealed no hint of joy or anger, and the lowered heads of Duan Zixiao and others could not determine what he meant.

At a certain spot below the Stepping Heavenly Stone, the Chu Family Patriarch suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged. When he turned his head, he saw the Chu Family genius, Chu Nian, staring at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.

After the auction in Bianlei City, Chu Nian, coerced by the Xiao Family prodigy Xiao Qiming, had once attacked Yun Xiao. However, he retreated when he faced difficulties and did not lose his life to Yun Xiao.

Logically, the enmity between them wasn’t major, but Chu Nian wasn’t sure if Yun Xiao would remember that incident.

Therefore, when Chu Nian heard Yun Xiao question, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted the Chu Family Patriarch to speak up and bring this issue to the forefront to resolve it.

”Forget it!”

As the Chu Family Patriarch, and someone known for his straightforwardness and body cultivation, he originally didn’t want to bow down. Besides, compared to the Zhao Family of Sky Thunder Valley and others, the grievances between the Chu Family and Yun Xiao weren’t significant.

”Yun Xiao, our Chu Family...”

But eventually, after some internal struggle, the Chu Family Patriarch had no choice but to speak. This was ultimately a hidden trouble for the Chu Family; if unresolved, who knows if that young man holds grudges?

”You’re worried that I’ll settle scores after the fact, aren’t you?”

However, just as the Chu Family Patriarch had spoken a few words, he saw the plainly dressed youth on the Stepping Heavenly Stone wave his hand at him, cutting him off before he could finish.

In response to Yun Xiao’s question, the leaders of many forces remained silent, tacitly agreeing. If these matters aren’t entirely resolved, they won’t have peace in the future.

”If I said I would, what would you do?”

A mischievous intent suddenly emerged from deep within Yun Xiao’s eyes. As soon as he spoke, the leaders of the major forces trembled fiercely, sensing trouble.

Because they had no way of knowing if Yun Xiao’s words were true. And if they were true, even with the combined forces of their few factions, they might not withstand even a single finger of that young man.

”Yun Xiao, I think...”

Nearby, Lu Yanji also couldn’t quite gauge Yun Xiao’s thoughts. However, he was inclined to turn hostility into harmony, so he couldn’t help but want to speak.

The Tenglong Continent, after the chaos of the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield and internal human conflicts, was already in ruins and awaiting recovery. Further slaughter would be unwise.

Even though You River was dead, who knows if another You Mountain or You Sea would appear in the future? At that time, forces like Thunder Sound Mountain’s Sky Thunder Valley would be the main resistance force for the Tenglong Continent.

But just as Lu Yanji said four words, he saw the young man wave at him, cutting off the words that were about to leave his mouth.

Perhaps the battle with Yun Xiao today granted him his own form of dignity. Even Lu Yanji, nominally the top of the Heavenly List, must respect his decision.

”Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let those past grudges and grievances dissipate after today!”

As if losing interest, Yun Xiao withdrew his gaze from Lu Yanji and glanced over the bowed heads of the leaders of various forces. His words made them feel as if they had heard heavenly music.

”This is truly the magnanimity and stature of an ultimate powerhouse!”

Ouyang Wuantong, the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, gazed admiringly at the pale youth in plain clothes on the high platform. His words resonated with everyone present.

Unafraid when bullied, daring to fight back; when grown strong, capable of swift revenge; yet in today’s situation, not exhaustive or vindictive, standing alone in the world.

Such courage and breadth of mind, how can it not earn one’s admiration?

”But what I want to tell you is...”

At the moment when everyone was feeling respectful, the coarse-clothed youth on the high platform spoke again, making those on the Stepping Heavenly Stone fall into unusual silence.

”Though You River is dead, the Strange Spirits’ intent to destroy our Human Clan remains undying. If in the future the Strange Spirits return and among you there are those like Wuyan Palace and Spirit Fighting Commerce who pretend to conform but act otherwise, or those who are cowardly and fear death, I will not let it pass lightly!”

Yun Xiao decided to overlook these grievances, naturally with conditions, but these conditions were not for himself, rather for the entire human race.

In his previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God, he constantly fought up and down the Hidden Dragon Continent for the Human Clan. He knew the Strange Spirits had extremely tenacious life forces; merely killing the You River or the Gold Attribute Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit couldn’t ensure the Tenglong Continent would remain carefree in the future.

Yun Xiao clearly knew that he would ultimately leave the Tenglong Continent one day, and by then the Tenglong Continent would need these Heavenly Rank Experts for its protection.

It seems Yun Xiao had seen the faces of those from Wuyan Palace and Spirit Fighting Commerce in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, which is why he laid down a preventive measure now, considered his legacy left for the Tenglong Continent.

”We heed Lord Yun Xiao’s command!”

At this moment, not only Duan Zixiao and Zhao Gujin but countless Low Rank Cultivators below all bowed to accept the order. They knew Yun Xiao’s words were not just for his enemies but for every cultivator of the Tenglong Continent.

At this moment, all the human cultivators present felt that the Tenglong Continent finally had a backbone, and this backbone was the pale-faced, coarse-clothed youth standing on the Stepping Heavenly Stone.

Previously, Lu Yanji, despite being hailed as the Tenglong Continent’s strongest and ranking first on the Heavenly List, rarely cared for mundane affairs. Many times, he was like a Divine Dragon, whose appearance could not be seen, inspiring little reliance from human cultivators.

But now, Yun Xiao stepped over Wuyan, extinguished Spirit Fighting, and killed the Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River, making accomplishments more dazzling than Lu Yanji.

Furthermore, from Yun Xiao, many cultivators could sense his genuine guardianship of the human clan. As he did in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, now he could let go of past grudges and choose reconciliation.

If it were other cultivators, even if not taking the lives of Duan Zixiao and others, they might extort a large sum from them, considering their wealth rivals nations.

”Alright, the major affairs here are settled, everyone disperse!”

Regarding such minor matters, Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t care much. After saying this, he felt his mind blur, and his body swayed slightly.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao still had people beside him at this moment. When he felt his body soften, a fragrance swept from both sides, and two arms supported him steadily.

A black-skirted girl and a red-skirted girl, after instinctively supporting Yun Xiao, exchanged a glance across the air, each seeing a touch of peculiar emotion in the other’s eyes.

Xu Hongzhuang and Mo Qing had already known each other in the Hidden Dragon Continent, understanding each other’s feelings for Yun Xiao as potential rivals.

However, this rivalry was more of a benign competition; Mo Qing now realized Xu Hongzhuang had no connection to the Shang Family’s annihilation from before.

Moreover, after cooperating several times, aside from Yun Xiao’s special factor, the two women were quite good friends now, even sharing a sense of sympathy.

After all, this mind beside them never belonged to either of them; perhaps a genius girl from a higher plane was the one he most cherished and would never forget.

”Return to Lianyun Mountain?”

Mo Qing withdrew her gaze from Xu Hongzhuang and softly asked, with a subtle sense of superiority, considering her affiliation with the Meridian Refining Master Association allowing more interaction time.

”Hm!”

Yun Xiao responded softly, feeling dizzy, with no desire to overthink; he indeed needed a period of rest to handle potential future changes.

”I will go with you!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mo Qing and Yun Xiao finished speaking, Xu Hongzhuang did not hesitate to voice her intent directly, and even Mountain Master of Demon Mountain Hou Tianlie did not attempt to stop her.

Perhaps due to Xu Hongzhuang’s unwavering affection for Yun Xiao, or maybe Hou Tianlie felt there was nothing more to teach; instead, following Yun Xiao, Xu Hongzhuang’s path could go further.

Naturally, Yun Xiao couldn’t say anything to oppose this, and after Xu Hongzhuang spoke, not far away, Hu Ying’er was also making a similar choice, immediately voicing her intention.

”I will go too!”
