Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Deep within the Yannan Mountain Range!

This is a special place, surrounded by numerous collapsed giant trees, exuding a peculiar aura. Naturally, this place is the secret location left by the Nangong Family.

The Nangong Family’s secret location is protected by the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, and inside this large array, before the dark gold palace, a lean figure in coarse clothing sits cross-legged. It is Yun Xiao, who has been sitting there for a month.

During this month, Yun Xiao continuously refined the gold attribute spirit crystal from the Array Heart Strange Spirit. After a month of refining, the originally fist-sized spirit crystal is now completely gone.

At this moment, faint golden light emanates from Yun Xiao’s body, indicating that the pain he endured over the past month has finally been rewarded.

Boom!

When a certain moment arrives, a powerful aura suddenly bursts from Yun Xiao’s body, followed by the heaven and earth energy in the large array space rushing towards him.

In just a moment, Yun Xiao’s meridian qi cultivation breaks through from the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage to the Heavenly Realm Late Stage. This is his first breakthrough in realm since returning to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Of course, the benefits Yun Xiao gained this time are far more than this. That was a half-step Holy Rank gold attribute spirit crystal, which not only greatly enhanced his meridian qi cultivation but also significantly bolstered the gold attribute ancestor vein in his body.

Moreover, Yun Xiao faintly sensed that this gold attribute ancestor vein seemed to undergo subtle special changes after refining the half-step Holy Rank spirit crystal.

However, these changes need Yun Xiao to constantly explore in future battles, and perhaps he might achieve unexpected effects at some point.

"Heavenly Realm Late Stage, not bad!"

Yun Xiao opened his eyes, seeing the fleeting golden fierce light, and then the surging meridian qi within him, which made him quite satisfied.

"It seems like Xiaofeng won’t come out so soon!"

After adapting to his wildly increased strength, Yun Xiao shifted his gaze to the dark gold palace without doors or windows, muttering softly.

Although Yun Xiao was quite familiar with the Nangong Family Master back then, such family secrets of the Nangong Family were clearly not something Nangong Buxun would casually disclose.

It wasn’t that Nangong Buxun didn’t trust Yun Xiao, but there was an ancestral rule he dared not violate. However, based on Yun Xiao’s understanding, Nangong Xiaofeng’s opportunity this time was likely considerable.

In fact, guiding Nangong Xiaofeng into this underground space and then letting him enter the dark gold palace marked the completion of Yun Xiao’s task this time.

Perhaps it couldn’t be considered a task, but Yun Xiao felt somewhat guilty towards Nangong Buxun, believing the downfall of the Nangong Family had something to do with him. Having met a descendant of the Nangong Family, he decided to lend a helping hand.

They say good deeds are rewarded. If Yun Xiao had chosen to stand by and watch, how could he have obtained the half-step Holy Rank gold attribute spirit crystal? How could he have broken through to the Heavenly Realm Late Stage?

But Yun Xiao, having returned to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, had many important things to do, so it was impossible for him to wait endlessly here. Therefore, he made a decision in an instant.

"Everyone has their own fate, Xiaofeng, I hope you won’t disappoint me when we meet again!"

After taking one last deep look at the dark gold palace, Yun Xiao whispered and then, in a flash, disappeared from the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array.

Buzz!

Just after Yun Xiao disappeared from the large array, the dark gold palace suddenly emitted a dark golden glow, seemingly conducting an invisible ceremony, tempering a certain blue-clothed youth inside.

......

Whoosh!

Outside the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, a sudden sound of wind-breaking was heard, followed by the appearance of a figure in the sky. It was Yun Xiao, emerging from the large array.

"Finally got out!"

Glancing at the chaotic disorder of the fallen trees below, Yun Xiao took a breath of fresh air outside and couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic. As he looked around, he saw no sign of anyone.

It seems indeed under Yun Xiao’s previous threat, no one dared to approach this area again. Or perhaps they knew that even if it was the treasure site of the Nangong Family, they wouldn’t have a chance, so they wouldn’t waste their efforts.

"Hmm?"

Just as Yun Xiao intended to find a direction and head towards it, his eyes suddenly focused, and a figure suddenly appeared in the dense forest below, speeding towards him.

"Floating Life Realm Late Stage? Why doesn’t he travel through the air?"

Yun Xiao’s power of soul was extraordinarily strong, with just a glance he sensed that young man’s cultivation, which had reached the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm Late Stage, far more powerful than Wang Zifu he saw in Yulong City.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, it’s only natural to stir the sky power to fly off the ground, yet that young figure seemed to flee for his life, dashing forward urgently, as if evading some probing.

"Caw!"

Just as Yun Xiao was deep in thought, a raven call echoed from above, drawing his gaze to see several small black dots appearing in the distance, seemingly multiple flying beast pulse demons speeding towards them.

"Hey, it’s dangerous up ahead, you can’t go any further!"

Yun Xiao turned his focus back onto the young figure below, noticing he was getting closer to the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, couldn’t help but shout a warning, out of goodwill.

Yun Xiao could tell the young man below didn’t come prepared, nor was he coveting the Nangong Family’s secret treasure, but was being chased to this place.

It was just a small effort, Yun Xiao didn’t mind saving a life, as he clearly understood even though he had dealt with the array heart strange spirit of the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, the large array itself still remained.

This means if any living person rushes in recklessly, they would end up like those guys over a month ago, sliced into pieces by the golden light of the large array.

Even Heavenly Realm experts could be sliced to fragments, not to mention a Floating Life Realm Late Stage lower ranker, the young man would surely face a deadly fate if he truly rushed into the array.

Perhaps Yun Xiao’s words took effect, the young figure below abruptly halted his frantic steps, though his gaze lingered on Yun Xiao only for a moment before shifting to the sky behind.

"Alas, could it be that I, Xu Qingshan, shall meet my end here today?"

The self-referential words from the young man’s lips unmistakably identified him as Xu Qingshan, who barely escaped from Ye City’s Hidden Blade Sect, yet at this moment, he appeared quite disheveled.

Since fleeing Ye City, Xu Qingshan had been disguising himself, constantly altering his appearance and attire, seeking to escape with his life, so as not to waste the chance his father fought desperately to provide.

Little did he know, Zhuo Bufeng, leading the pursuit, was extraordinarily familiar with this former adversary, tracking him all the way to Yongxiu City, even into the Yannan Mountain Range.

Currently, Xu Qingshan was nearly at his wit’s end, perhaps unaware of the danger ahead, yet heeding the words of the coarse-clothed youth above, he halted where he was.

Perhaps in Xu Qingshan’s mind, the chasing flying beast pulse demons above were clear to see, and even if he fled a few more steps, what difference would it make? Ultimately he couldn’t escape Zhuo Bufeng’s grasp.

So Xu Qingshan decided to sit down heavily in the dense forest, panting heavily, while his meridian qi surged inwardly, intending to drag Zhuo Bufeng down with him before death.

"There’s nothing worthwhile about meddling in such affairs!"

Yun Xiao in the sky had a mind so sharp, even without knowing some details, he could guess it was a simple vendetta. Yet, having given a reminder earlier, he felt he’d done his duty, thus wouldn’t interfere in these continental grudges.

"Matters of the Emperor Palace, uninvolved people clear the way quickly!"

However, just as Yun Xiao decided not to meddle, a certain young figure in the sky already pursuing here spoke first, and that tone carried a faint sense of familiarity to Yun Xiao.

"Emperor Palace? Are you people from Yongxiu City Emperor Palace?"

Yun Xiao, having just turned around, upon hearing those words, involuntarily spun back, and as he questioned, two familiar figures surfaced in his mind.

As far as Yun Xiao knew, the Yongxiu City Emperor Palace’s experts, including Chief Fei Qingchen, all perished by his hand, even an Emperor Palace Inspector Lou Liheng.

Yet where did these folks come from? Could it be Yongxiu City Emperor Palace learned of Fei Qingchen and Lou Liheng’s demise and sent people to investigate?

But when Yun Xiao slightly sensed the other’s strength, his eyes revealed a shred of disdain, for the young leader who spoke only had the Floating Life Realm Late Stage cultivation.

Alongside him, several companions had varying cultivation levels, with the highest only at Lingyun Realm Early Stage; with Yun Xiao’s current strength, how could he be threatened by these ants?

"Why ask so much? Hurry up and scram, or do you want to die here with that kid?"

The speaker was indeed Jade Sword Sect’s top genius Zhuo Bufeng, who led the sect elders to hunt Xu Qingshan this time, implicitly taking the lead, making him feel pleased.

Since Jade Sword Sect merged into Ye City Emperor Palace, encountering some Yongxiu City cultivators led Zhuo Bufeng to claim affiliation with the Emperor Palace, effectively intimidating many.

While in Yongxiu City, Zhuo Bufeng and others heard some news, knowing everyone from Yongxiu City Emperor Palace, from Chief Fei Qingchen onwards, had entered the Yannan Mountain Range, and noticing Xu Qingshan’s aura in this direction, they directly pursued.

It must be said, Zhuo Bufeng was extremely aware of Xu Qingshan, and with his means, finally cornered him here. However, the coarse-clothed youth’s attitude suddenly appearing, was quite irritating to him, hence he wouldn’t be too polite.
