Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The enemy who had relived once more, is now a leading genius of the Canglong Emperor Palace. Yun Xiao just felt the unpredictability of the world as both new and old grievances surged to mind, yet he found himself becoming more composed at this moment.

”Heavenly Realm Late Stage? My dear brother, it’s been over two years since we last met, and your cultivation speed is much slower than your sister’s, oh!”

Now Xue Qi is a genuine Heavenly Rank Advanced Peak Poison Meridian Master, with her Power of Soul reaching Holy Rank Low Level, naturally seeing through Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation at a glance, she opened her mouth with a smile.

”You have quite the fortune, breaking through to Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage in such a short time. I bet Lu Qinwan gave you plenty of nice things to eat, eh?”

Although Yun Xiao only possesses a Half-step Holy Rank soul, his sensing ability is in no way weaker than Xue Qi’s. Seeing a smile also appear on his face, his words shocked the onlookers greatly.

Honestly, when Xue Qi appeared just now, even knowing she was a cultivator from Canglong Emperor Palace Headquarters, not many thought she had broken through to the level of the Holy Vein Three Realms.

Even Emperor Palace’s Great Elder Ruan Buwei acknowledged that was merely wishful thinking, for Xue Qi’s age was too young, her appearance only slightly older than Yun Xiao, clearly indicating she couldn’t have reached the level of the Holy Vein Three Realms.

While Canglong Emperor Palace has some famous prodigies said to be strong in the Holy Vein Three Realms, this girl named Xue Qi before us was not among them, and those few were rumored to be much older than Xue Qi.

But now, from the rough-clad Yun Xiao’s mouth, the true cultivation level of Xue Qi was revealed, Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, which is indeed the genuine Holy Vein Three Realms.

”You are not allowed to insult my teacher!”

Compared to the shock of the onlookers, the smile on Xue Qi’s face disappeared instantly upon hearing Yun Xiao’s last words, replaced by a somber expression.

Although Xue Qi is a cold-hearted person, having betrayed her foster mother and older sister in the past, she always believed it was Shang Li’s favoritism that led to it, never having a trace of guilt in her heart.

However, after coming to Nine-layered Dragon Cloud and recognizing this Empress as a teacher, who treated Xue Qi like a daughter, even with several disciples, Xue Qi deeply felt the teacher valued her the most.

Otherwise, after suffering such a loss on Tenglong Continent, Lu Qinwan not only didn’t blame her but also allowed her to enter the Dragon Saliva Pond, successfully helping her break through to Half-step Holy Rank.

Thus Xue Qi truly considered Lu Qinwan as her teacher, even like a mother, so hearing Yun Xiao calling the teacher’s name without the slightest respect, inevitably filled her with dissatisfaction.

”Hehehe, if you knew your teacher, just like yourself, is a despicable traitor who betrayed promises, killed her husband, and seized power, I wonder if you would still respect her so much?”

Yun Xiao wasn’t intimidated by Xue Qi’s words; instead, his smile grew denser, saying words that stunned the ear drums of the onlookers.

”Betrayed promises, killed her husband, and seized power!”

The eight-word comment from Yun Xiao about Canglong Empress Lu Qinwan was strictly speaking factual; however, for those uninformed lower-level cultivators, it was the first they heard, leaving them momentarily bewildered.

Even Murong Family’s elder Murong Sou, who hated Canglong Empress, didn’t know the deep details of the events. Even with his hatred, some specifics eluded him.

A hundred years ago, Long Xiao Battle God suddenly perished, with Canglong Emperor Palace later explaining that he was a traitor to the palace and humanity, eventually stabbed to death by Emperor Canglong.

Shortly after, Lu Qinwan, once the wife of Long Xiao Battle God, surprisingly remarried Emperor Canglong, transforming into Canglong Empress, leaving some feeling peculiar about the incident.

But Canglong Emperor had an explanation: he and Lu Qinwan were childhood sweethearts. Due to brotherly love as Dragon Cloud War God liked her, he relinquished her.

Now with Dragon Cloud War God’s betrayal and death, he didn’t wish Lu Qinwan to be saddened and took responsibility, a reasonable explanation that, despite suspicions, couldn’t be questioned directly by the esteemed Canglong Emperor and Empress couple.

Gradually, Nine-layered Dragon Cloud cultivators accepted this reasoning, yet today in the depths of Murong Tomb, a young man proposed an alternative view, leaving the crowd in astonishment.

Yet, as some pondered, the possibility wasn’t entirely unfounded. As they hadn’t witnessed the grand event of the past, the notion of Lu Qinwan colluding with Emperor Canglong to kill Long Xiao Battle God seemed plausible.

”You... are slandering!”

Hearing this view suddenly, Xue Qi was initially stunned, then rage surfaced, pointing at Yun Xiao with a trembling voice.

At this point, Xue Qi suddenly realized that, when it comes to eloquence, ten of herself combined couldn’t match Yun Xiao. However, in her memory, Yun Xiao at Shang Family was always quiet and reserved.

Unknown to her, somewhere along the way, the originally ordinary young man transformed, soaring high in the skies, growing to this level within just a few short years.

Xue Qi knew that Yun Xiao was different from her. He truly fought hard, step by step, on the Hidden Dragon Continent and the Tenglong Continent, only to carve out his current world.

Honestly, although Xue Qi felt disdain for Yun Xiao’s Late Stage Heavenly Realm cultivation just now, her heart was quite jealous. After all, she had also gone through countless hardships to break through to the Early Stage Hua Xuan Realm.

What makes you, a native of the Hidden Dragon Continent, possess such strong cultivation talent, and what makes your cultivation speed faster than me, the direct disciple of the Canglong Emperor Empress?

So at this moment, when a surge of hostility rose in Xue Qi’s heart, she suddenly no longer wanted to waste even one word on Yun Xiao. Wasn’t this just asking for humiliation?

”What? Don’t believe it? One day, you will see the truth clearly!”

However, Yun Xiao showed no intention of stopping at all. He believed that as long as he survived, one day the truth would be revealed to the world, and those ungrateful scum would finally face the punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

”Shut up!”

Xue Qi was fuming, almost smoking with rage. At this moment, she no longer looked like her previously calm self but resembled a dark and brooding witch, wishing to tear the young man in front of her to pieces.

Perhaps in Xue Qi’s heart, there was a trace of fear that what Yun Xiao said was true. Despite being a cold-hearted person herself, she didn’t want her master to commit those heinous acts unforgivable by heaven and earth.

”After today, these words will never be heard again!”

Enraged, Xue Qi’s voice seemed slightly low, and as she spoke, the face of the young man in rough clothes opposite her unexpectedly showed a strange smile.

”Hey, there’s not just me, Yun Xiao, here. Those people also heard it. Are you going to kill them all to silence them?”

With an eerie smile, Yun Xiao pointed in a certain direction, causing the faces of the onlookers to instantly change, cursing Yun Xiao’s ancestors thoroughly in their hearts.

This damned boy speaking like this was just redirecting disaster elsewhere, wasn’t it? Originally, Xue Qi might not have noticed them, but if she really killed Yun Xiao, would she truly kill to silence?

The Canglong Emperor and Empress were figures as lofty as the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Queen; many people dared not even think of disrespecting them in their hearts, let alone such blatant defamation.

As a disciple of Lu Qinwan, Xue Qi absolutely could not let these words spread in even the slightest way. It seemed her chance of killing to silence was indeed not small.

”Why don’t I help you solve one first!”

Yun Xiao didn’t care about the resentful gazes from those bystanding cultivators. As he spoke again, a somewhat familiar sound of the wind breaking followed.

”No!”

Following was a panic-stricken voice. It turned out that Great Elder Ruan Buwei of the Murong City Emperor Palace suddenly discovered an oddly floating wooden sword in front of him, without knowing when it appeared.

Ruan Buwei knew clearly that it was this unremarkable wooden sword that had pierced through the heart of the Third Elder of the Emperor Palace just now, even though his cultivation was slightly higher. But don’t forget, he was currently severely injured.

”Lady Xue Qi, save me!”

At this moment, Xue Qi became Ruan Buwei’s last lifeline. Hearing his plea, it seemed too late already.

Squeak!

A faint sound came as Xue Qi’s expression slightly changed when she wanted to act. The peculiar wooden sword had already pierced through Ruan Buwei’s heart, impaling his chest, rendering him incapable of surviving.

Since Yun Xiao had spoken, it meant everything was calculated. The concealment technique of Dragon Taming Flying Concealment was incredibly astonishing. Even someone like Xue Qi, at the Early Stage Hua Xuan Realm, couldn’t react in time.

”You’re seeking death!”

Seeing Ruan Buwei’s eyes dimming with helplessness, even though Xue Qi had no relationship with this Great Elder of the Murong City Emperor Palace, she couldn’t help but become furiously angry.

After all, he was a cultivator of the Emperor Palace, strictly speaking considered a subordinate of Xue Qi. Yet Yun Xiao openly killed him with a sword, wasn’t that a slap to her face?

Originally, Xue Qi believed that her Early Stage Hua Xuan Realm cultivation, as long as she appeared here, Yun Xiao wouldn’t create much trouble. But who would have thought that the other party was blatantly arrogant? This action deepened Xue Qi’s murderous intent even further.
