Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Zilang, who is he?"

Even the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Yingqi, couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. He had noticed the rough-clothed boy who entered alongside Wang Zilang and directly asked the question.

Regarding his third son, who suffered from Innate Pulse Cutting, Wang Yingqi always felt guilty, hating himself for not having invited a famous doctor to cure him and for succumbing to family pressure to exile him to a remote place like the Five Desolate Village.

Now that the Wang Family was in disarray, struggling to survive, Wang Yingqi knew that after his death, his useless son’s fate wouldn’t be much better.

Even if he could survive, he would surely spend his life amid countless ridicule and disdain. It would be better to die a glorious death than to live like that.

In a flash, many thoughts filled Wang Yingqi’s mind. But when he realized that his son had befriended such an unenlightened individual, he was both disappointed and angry with himself.

"Father, he is Brother Yun Xiao, and it was he who cured my Innate Pulse Cutting!"

Compared to Wang Yingqi or other Wang Family members, Wang Zilang undoubtedly had the most confidence in Yun Xiao, and to make his father believe Yun Xiao’s words, he threw out a bombshell.

"Hmm, Yun Xiao... wait, what did you just say? What did you say... cured... Innate Pulse Cutting?!"

Wang Yingqi didn’t react at first, nodding hesitantly, and then his eyes suddenly widened, an announcement that made Wang Zifu finally understand the implication of Wang Zilang’s words.

"Third brother, your Innate Pulse Cutting... has truly been cured?"

Unlike Wang Zitong, Wang Zifu always cared deeply for his third brother, seeing that Wang Zilang was born unable to cultivate and needed more family care, so he directly voiced the question.

"Yes, Father, Big Brother, Brother Yun Xiao didn’t just cure my Innate Pulse Cutting, but also..."

Wang Zilang was in a good mood, ignoring the astonishment of many Wang Family members and Lu Family experts. After the final words were spoken, he extended his right hand.

Boom!

An aura burst forth from Wang Lang’s right hand, and even the heavily injured Wang Family Elders nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets.

"Spirit... Spirit Vein Realm Peak?!"

The nearest Wang Yingqi and his sons almost simultaneously murmured this incredulous sentence as if trying to express the deep shock from the bottom of their hearts.

Because the aura Wang Zilang was exuding was indisputably at the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, something Wang Yingqi and Wang Zifu never dared to imagine before.

What did this mean? It meant that the Innate Pulse Cutting, which had troubled Wang Zilang for seventeen years, had really been resolved, and in such a short time, he had broken through to the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm.

Even though the Wang Family’s crisis had not been resolved, Wang Yingqi felt his heart about to leap out of his chest. This was the hope he had longed for over the past decade.

Since Wang Zilang was diagnosed with Innate Pulse Cutting, Wang Yingqi had been melancholy, having sought high-rank Meridian Refining Masters from cities around Yulong City, all of whom were helpless against the Innate Pulse Cutting.

Unexpectedly, during this great misfortune for the Wang Family, Wang Zilang suddenly returned, giving him a great surprise. For some reason, Wang Yingqi inexplicably gained some confidence in the rough-clothed boy, Yun Xiao.

After all, it was a Innate Pulse Cutting known to be unsolvable below a Holy Rank Meridian Refining Master, and even some ordinary Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Masters might not have the means to resolve it.

"Could that young boy be a Holy Rank Meridian Refining Master?"

Wang Yingqi’s thoughts ran wild, but he quickly extinguished it. No matter how he looked, the youthful figure, younger than his own sons, didn’t resemble a Holy Rank Expert.

"Boy, I don’t care where you came from, daring to meddle in my Lu Family’s affairs will mean you won’t leave the Wang Family’s door today!"

At this juncture, the Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Guixiong, finally reacted, paying little attention to a Wang Family Third Young Master who regained the ability to cultivate, and turned his gaze to Yun Xiao, issuing a cold threat.

To a Lingyun Realm Middle Stage expert like Lu Guixiong, whether it was an unusable Wang Family scion or the now Peak of Spirit Vein Realm Wang Zilang, there was no difference.

They were all ants that could be crushed with a slap, but the rough-clothed boy who cured Wang Zilang’s Innate Pulse Cutting gave Lu Guixiong a strange feeling.

Somehow, Lu Guixiong sensed a faint threat from this young boy, though he would never admit it outwardly.

"I’ll say it again, give me, Yun Xiao, some face, stop troubling the Wang Family, and I won’t trouble your Lu Family either, how about that?"

To a Lingyun Realm Middle Stage fellow, Yun Xiao naturally didn’t pay any attention. If the Lu Family Tomb Master knew what was wise, he would retreat, and Yun Xiao would prefer not to meddle in Yulong City’s affairs, as he had more important matters to attend to.

"Hahaha, a brat who hasn’t even matured yet, where does he get the face?"

An elder from the Lu Family laughed loudly before the Patriarch could answer, his voice full of ridicule, but he failed to see the fleeting hostility in the rough-clad teenager’s eyes.

"Lianyu, this little bastard is left to you!"

Lu Guixiong, confident in his status, naturally wouldn’t strike against juniors in such situations, so he gave Lu Lianyu a look, causing Wang Zifu’s expression to change slightly.

"Lu Lianyu, your opponent is me!"

Wang Zifu, who had just calmed the chaotic Meridian Qi within his body, leapt forward. He had witnessed Lu Lianyu’s prowess earlier, realizing that even he, a Wang Family prodigy at the early stage of Floating Life Realm, was no match, let alone that twenty-something-year-old brat.

"Big brother, wait a moment!"

Just as Wang Zifu wanted to confront Lu Lianyu, he felt his sleeve being tugged from behind and then heard a voice from his third brother.

"Big brother, you might not know, but that Lu Family’s second, Lu Lianheng, has already died at the hands of Brother Yun Xiao!"

Wang Zilang’s words were not at all concealed, allowing Wang Zifu to hear clearly, together with the Lu Family father-son duo and the elders, who heard it clearly too.

"What? Lu Lianheng is dead?"

Upon hearing, Wang Zifu was momentarily stunned, then a gleam appeared in his eyes, swiftly turning towards the rough-clad boy, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Wang Zifu naturally understood who Lu Lianheng was, knowing he was a genuine genius at the peak of Earth Bending Realm, not much inferior to his elder brother.

Although the peak of Earth Bending Realm’s cultivation is vastly different from the early stage of Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, if Yun Xiao could kill Lu Lianheng, perhaps he truly had some means to counter Lu Lianyu.

"Heng’er... dead?!"

These news, though merely shocking to the Wang Family members, for the Lu Family Patriarch Lu Guixiong, it was akin to a bolt from the blue.

For a moment, this figure, a hero among the Lu Family, felt frustrated with unexpressed resentment, almost spitting out old blood.

Lu Guixiong had two sons, both exceedingly talented, serving as treasures in his heart. Much like palm is akin to one’s own flesh, losing one suddenly—how could his heart not ache?

"You little bastard, you dare kill my brother. If I don’t tear you to pieces today, I can’t quell the hatred in my heart!"

Originally intending to make a move, Lu Lianyu’s hostility erupted at this point, releasing a malevolent shout, and anyone could hear the murderous intent in his tone.

The grudge akin to the heavens was sparked by the killing of a brother, especially when this nemesis was standing right in front of him—how could Lu Lianyu remain calm?

Of course, the biggest reason was that Lu Lianyu had not sensed Yun Xiao’s true cultivation. He believed he could easily defeat a cultivator at the peak of Earth Bending Realm, and that kid was several years younger than him, certainly not a match.

Thus, in the following moment, Meridian Qi surged from Lu Lianyu, showing his early stage of Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm cultivation. Though not particularly notable in the eyes of both families’ elders, among the younger generation, he was outstanding.

Everyone watched as Lu Lianyu’s aura erupted, eager to see how the rough-clad boy would respond to the Lu family genius’s attack at the early stage of Floating Life Realm.

"Tsk tsk, Lu Lianyu is about to meet his doom!"

Perhaps only the third young master of the Wang Family, Wang Zilang, had an inexplicable confidence in Yun Xiao. Despite not knowing Yun Xiao’s true cultivation, he confidently spoke up at this moment.

"Father, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Second brother met privately with Lu Lianheng and tried to kill me to silence me, but was incapacitated by Brother Yun Xiao and left at the Wang Family entrance!"

Recalling Yun Xiao’s methods, Wang Zilang suddenly remembered an incident. Regardless, Wang Zitong was his second brother, his father’s biological son. Despite being at fault, he needed to inform him.

"I see, that rebellious child!"

Hearing Wang Zilang’s words, Wang Yingqi suddenly understood much, realizing not only was his ambitious second brother plotting against him, but his second son was secretly planning to undermine him too.

"Sigh, I truly am a failed father!"

For a moment, Wang Yingqi appeared dismayed—one son suffered from Innate Pulse Cutting, while another son wished to rebel against him. It certainly required reflection on himself, didn’t it?

And at that moment, Lu Lianyu’s attack was already within a few feet from Yun Xiao.
