Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Eighty strands of essence blood!"

Nangong Xiaofeng looked at the light spots into which he had infused his essence blood, a hint of pallor from excessive blood loss on his face, but he still clearly remembered the amount of essence blood he had sacrificed.

It is worth mentioning that the essence blood Nangong Xiaofeng sacrificed at this moment, strictly speaking, was not the core of his bloodline. It was entirely different from the essence blood Yun Xiao sacrificed when he saved Xue Tianao.

If it were the kind of essence blood Yun Xiao used, not to mention eighty strands, even just eight strands would have likely caused Nangong Xiaofeng to faint long ago, making talk of breaking the array impossible.

It was precisely this not-so-concentrated Nangong Family essence blood that allowed Nangong Xiaofeng to persevere for so long. But if things continued like this, there would eventually come a moment when he could no longer hold on.

With a determination supporting his intention, Nangong Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and held on. When another golden light spot lit up, his gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his fingers, he sacrificed another crimson strand of essence blood.

With this strand of essence blood, Nangong Xiaofeng had sacrificed exactly eighty-one strands this time. This seemed like a magical number. In any case, when this essence blood was infused into the golden light spot, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Shua!

The countless golden light spots that had been dim suddenly shone brightly. Moreover, these golden lights contained the Nangong Family’s bloodline aura, giving them a rather mystical appearance.

Eighty-one light spots infused with essence blood all shone brightly together, forming quite an amazing spectacle. But at this moment, Nangong Xiaofeng was in no mood to appreciate such a dazzling scene, looking a bit helpless at this sight.

Shua shua shua...

Countless golden lights flashed and appeared, as if guided by some force in the air, moving towards the middle cocoon in a chaotic path.

But after a moment, Nangong Xiaofeng suddenly saw that the target of those golden lights was not the golden cocoon where Yun Xiao was, but a position above it, finally condensing into a larger light sphere.

"Xiaofeng, throw Gong Jinzhu in!"

Just when Nangong Xiaofeng didn’t know what to do, a deep voice suddenly came from below. It was Yun Xiao who spoke, and a hint of seriousness filled his voice.

Yun Xiao knew that this was the most crucial moment for breaking the array. If they failed, there would likely be no next chance unless both of them broke through to the Holy Rank Third Realm.

Whoosh!

High above, Nangong Xiaofeng did not delay at all. As soon as Yun Xiao’s shout fell, he had already thrown out the Gong Jinzhu he had prepared.

A golden stream of light passed through the air, trailing a long tail of golden light, and finally hit the converged golden light node with precision.

The Gong Jinzhu was the secret treasure handed down in the Nangong Family, containing the great secret of the Nangong Family within it. Even the mutation in the Yannan Mountain Range was caused by the Gong Jinzhu.

Yet, although he used his bloodline to trigger the mutation of Gong Jinzhu, as a genius of the Nangong Family, Nangong Xiaofeng had even less understanding of Gong Jinzhu compared to the outsider Yun Xiao.

At this moment, he merely followed Yun Xiao’s instructions passively. After spending some time together, he subconsciously believed that this coarse-clothed boy would not deceive him.

Boom!

With the invasion of Gong Jinzhu, a strong energy surge suddenly erupted from where the eighty-one light spots converged. Following that, a huge golden light shot skyward, enclosing Nangong Xiaofeng with lightning speed.

Another moment later, Nangong Xiaofeng’s figure had vanished from the sky outside, along with the original, mysterious golden cocoon below.

Clearly, under the successive measures of Yun Xiao and Nangong Xiaofeng, a passage was finally opened in the so-called Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, pulling both of them inside the secret land within this range.

Perhaps this was why Yun Xiao had recently urged those ordinary cultivators to leave. He knew that once the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array was broken, it would probably suck everyone within the range, which might lead to unexpected changes.

Yun Xiao certainly didn’t want him and Nangong Xiaofeng to fight tooth and nail here, only for someone else to reap the benefits. Generally speaking, he would eliminate any potential changes at their inception.

At this moment, those cultivators who had already left all sensed the wave coming from that situation. A few of them hesitated, but ultimately they forcibly suppressed the greed in their hearts.

The secret treasure of the Nangong Family was precious, but the premise was that one had to live to enjoy it. If they lost their lives, no matter how precious the treasure, it would never belong to them.

Regarding the thoughts of outsiders, Yun Xiao and Nangong Xiaofeng obviously had no clue, nor did their situation allow them to consider other issues.

Shua!

When Yun Xiao’s mind was slightly dazed, he finally regained his clarity. It felt like an instant had passed, yet also seemed like a thousand years had gone by, giving him a rather strange feeling now.

"Xiaofeng, are you okay?"

Yun Xiao, having seen many significant events, quickly calmed himself, sensing the figure beside him swaying slightly. He immediately reached out to support him, asking with concern.

The figure supported by Yun Xiao was naturally Nangong Xiaofeng. Due to excessive blood loss and the dizziness from the space teleportation, he almost fainted immediately, his face looking quite pale.

"Still holding on!"

Although Nangong Xiaofeng’s voice was somewhat weak, it was filled with a deep sense of joy, for he knew he had finally stepped into the secret location of the Nangong Family, getting a step closer to the secret treasure hidden by his ancestors.

"Is that... the place where my Nangong Family’s secret treasure is hidden?"

After responding to Yun Xiao, Nangong Xiaofeng shifted his gaze to the distance. A space seemingly shrouded in a dark night stood an eerie grand hall emitting a dark golden light.

In what might be an underground space, it appeared that the entire space had only this dark golden hall, and the hall itself had no doors or windows, looking quite mysterious.

"Ah, a hundred years have passed, and at last, a descendant of the Nangong Family has arrived here!"

Just as Nangong Xiaofeng’s eyes showed excitement and he spoke with emotion, a voice suddenly resounded within the space, seemingly coming from the dark golden hall or echoing from all directions.

"Who is it?"

Startled by the words, Nangong Xiaofeng couldn’t help but turn his head, not bothering about the strange glint in Yun Xiao’s eyes beside him, his head rotating as if trying to find the person speaking.

"You impolite brat, don’t you even greet the Clan Leader?"

As Nangong Xiaofeng looked around, the voice sounded again, making him tense up. In front of the dark golden hall, unbeknownst to him, there stood a sturdy figure in a dark golden robe.

"This... is... Clan Leader Buxun?"

When Nangong Xiaofeng saw that dark golden sturdy figure, his body involuntarily trembled fiercely, immediately murmuring aloud, causing Yun Xiao beside him to react in surprise.

Nangong Buxun was the last Clan Leader before the Nangong Family’s annihilation. It was due to his desperate defense during the annihilation battle that not a few members of the Ye Family managed to escape.

For example, Nangong Xiaofeng’s parents were among those who escaped during that battle. Although they have lived in hiding for the past century, they have secretly been paying tribute to Nangong Buxun’s memorial.

The memorial they pay tribute to even bore the Sword Carrying Painting of Nangong Buxun, and the Clan Leader in that painting was exactly identical to the figure in front of the hall.

But what Nangong Xiaofeng couldn’t understand was why Nangong Buxun, who had clearly been dead for nearly a hundred years, was appearing here. Could it be that during that fierce battle, the Clan Leader didn’t actually die?

After all, Nangong Xiaofeng’s parents, to not waste the chance forcefully taken by the Clan Leader, couldn’t have stayed until the end and thus couldn’t have witnessed the death of Nangong Buxun.

If the last Clan Leader of the Nangong Family truly hadn’t died, it would serve as a powerful boost for the Nangong Family, possibly even leading them to rise again.

"I never imagined that after a hundred years, there would still be descendants who remember me, which truly comforts this Clan Leader!"

As a multitude of thoughts crossed Nangong Xiaofeng’s mind, the dark golden figure sighed again, leaving him without doubt, and he directly bowed to the ground.

"Unworthy descendant Nangong Xiaofeng, greets the Clan Leader!"

As a direct descendant of the Nangong Family, Nangong Xiaofeng had been enduring for years. Suddenly encountering the legendary Clan Leader left him with no other thoughts; he was indeed overwhelmed with excitement.

"At such a young age, you’ve already cultivated to the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, Xiaofeng, you’ve done well!"

Seeing this descendant so respectful and obedient, Nangong Buxun was clearly pleased, his voice filled with appreciation. However, just as he finished speaking, he noticed a figure standing straight."

"Who is this little fellow? Why don’t you bow before the Clan Leader?"

Nangong Buxun raised his head and stared at the coarse-robed youth also watching him, his expression suddenly darkening. The dark golden glow around him seemed to flicker slightly.

"Tsk tsk, the prestigious Clan Leader of the Nangong Family, can’t you sense that I do not possess the Nangong Family’s bloodline?"

Yun Xiao looked at the dark golden figure for a moment, then suddenly smiled, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, causing Nangong Buxun’s face to turn even grimmer.

"This is the secret place of my Nangong Family. Without Nangong bloodline, how could you enter?"
