Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"What’s the matter?"

The God Thunder Gang Leader, Lei Sha, naturally heard the shout of the intelligence elder, and frowned involuntarily, completely unclear about what this old guy meant.

"Gang Leader, you should take a look at the content on the intelligence first!"

Seeing the members of the Divine Dragon Gang stop their actions, the intelligence elder finally breathed a sigh of relief, handed the letter in his hand to Lei Sha, his words carrying a hint of meaning.

Upon hearing this, Lei Sha’s expression became even more uncertain, but he didn’t delay much, took the letter and scanned through it quickly. Everyone seemed to witness a wonderful drama of changing expressions.

The God Thunder Gang Leader, Lei Sha’s expression first showed shock, then turned somber, and finally transformed into a trace of obscure fear, shifting incessantly, excitingly varied.

"Actually... did win?!"

After a long while, this God Thunder Gang Leader finally muttered out, but this headless and tailless voice left the Lv Family and many God Thunder Gang members thoroughly confused.

"Won? Who won?"

The confusion in everyone’s heart was just like this; Lei Sha’s incoherent muttering made people feel restless like being scratched by a cat, and many even wanted to rush forward to snatch the letter from his hand to see what was going on.

Fortunately, no one dared to do so in the end, so they could only speculate in their hearts, but one thing was sure, with the arrival of this secret letter, today’s crisis for the Lv Family might have a rare turn for the better.

The intelligence letter in Lei Sha’s hand was actually sent from Sky Thunder Valley. Previously, Xiaoman’s intelligence wasn’t wrong; Divine Thunder Valley was indeed a concealed subordinate force secretly cultivated by Sky Thunder Valley.

Sky Thunder Valley Master Duan Zixiao had great ambitions. Now, two of the four top forces were gone, and the remaining Xuanyin Hall was busy rebuilding, unable to overlook other regions.

It could be said now that the originally owned territories of Wuyan Palace and Spirit Fighting Commerce were vacant, and those wanting a share certainly weren’t limited to Sky Thunder Valley alone.

The power holders of Sky Thunder Valley with some ideas immediately sent God Thunder Gang to this chaotic land as pioneers, and the first spot Lei Sha selected was Wuchuan City.

He thought if he could establish a foothold in Wuchuan City, he could almost control the crucial artery between the former boundaries of Xuanyin Hall and Wuyan Palace, facilitating future large-scale entry of Sky Thunder Valley.

But Lei Sha also knew that during this time, due to the challenge at Chongxiao River, Sky Thunder Valley couldn’t provide him any help; while slaughtering in Wuchuan City, he had been waiting for news from Stepping Heavenly Stone.

At this moment, the news handed over by the intelligence elder naturally detailed the grand battle at Stepping Heavenly Stone, the content of which Lei Sha once imagined, but when the facts were right in front of him, he still felt incredibly shocked.

The young man named Yun Xiao, with his own strength, broke the Heavenly Rank Array, ultimately single-handedly taking the spirit crystal of the Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River.

No matter how Lei Sha swaggered in Wuchuan City, he was merely an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator, far distant from the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm.

Being able to slay an Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit like Yun Xiao, at least likely had Heavenly Realm Middle Stage combat power, such a character could crush him with a mere finger?

If these achievements are merely Yun Xiao’s own strength, then what happened after the grand battle relates closely to Lei Sha or God Thunder Gang.

At that time, the leaders of all first-class forces who had offended Yun Xiao lowered their heads, and the first to lower was surprisingly the biggest reliance behind God Thunder Gang: Sky Thunder Valley.

God Thunder Gang was merely a subordinate force of Sky Thunder Valley, not even a particularly powerful subordinate force.

Lei Sha had reason to believe if the Valley Master knew his actions today, it wasn’t impossible to dissolve the entire God Thunder Gang.

Despite Lei Sha’s earlier mockery, saying a figure like Yun Xiao wouldn’t care about an acquaintance as distant as Lv An, there was indeed a connection between them.

Moreover, this connection couldn’t compare to the adversarial relationship between Sky Thunder Valley and Yun Xiao; Lei Sha believed if Yun Xiao had to choose between Sky Thunder Valley and Lv Family, he’d undoubtedly choose the latter.

Due to this unexpected intelligence, some firm notions in Lei Sha’s heart couldn’t help but waver because he couldn’t take this risk, nor could Sky Thunder Valley.

If just after Valley Master Duan Zixiao humbled himself before Yun Xiao, seeking forgiveness, because of a small matter like this, Yun Xiao bore a new grudge against Sky Thunder Valley, then Lei Sha would surely become a sinner of Sky Thunder Valley.

Suppose in the current Tenglong Continent, who dares to easily provoke Yun Xiao, let alone rushing to curry favor seems too slow; for lower cultivators like Lei Sha, they can only look up to those great figures.

"Gang Leader, what should we do now?"

Just as Lei Sha was holding the intelligence letter, his mind filled with uncertainty, the Great Elder of God Thunder Gang had already leaned in, seen the content on the letter, and lightly asked.

It seems that the Great Elder of the Divine Thunder Gang has already understood the reason behind Lei Sha’s sudden change of expression just now. As he asked this question, his heart was still in turmoil.

"Ah..."

The Great Elder’s question finally pulled Lei Sha out of his daze. Instinctively responding, he had already made the right decision deep down in his heart.

"Aha, this is truly like a flood rushing into the Dragon King’s temple, Brother Lv An. Today’s matter was my rashness. Please forgive me, forgive me!"

Almost instantly, Lei Sha, as if changing his face, put on a full smile and walked slowly towards Lv An, causing the latter to be both surprised and somewhat flattered.

Just now, wasn’t the Divine Thunder Gang murderous, saying they wouldn’t spare a single one of the Lv Family? How did Lei Sha’s attitude change in the blink of an eye, even showing a hint of flattery?

"What exactly was written on that letter?"

Lv An couldn’t help but grow increasingly curious about the contents of the letter in Lei Sha’s hand, especially since the latter hid it so tightly that he couldn’t catch even a glimpse.

"I don’t dare! I don’t dare!"

However, after all, the other party was an early-stage Earth Bending Realm powerhouse backed by Sky Thunder Valley. Naturally, Lv An did not dare to be negligent, uttering meaningless words of humility that made this scene extremely strange.

"Family Head Lv, here are two Earth Rank Advanced healing elixirs, hoping that you can overlook today’s misunderstanding and let it slide."

Lei Sha shoved a Jade Bottle into Lv An’s hand without allowing any refusal, and his subsequent words carried a subtle implication.

"From now on, your Lv Family remains the overlord of Wuchuan City. If there’s anything you can’t resolve, just inform the Divine Thunder Gang at any time, and I, Lei, will not refuse in the slightest!"

Lei Sha once again made his stance clear, seemingly knowing that with Yun Xiao’s connection to the Lv Family in Wuchuan City, no matter how powerful the other forces were, they wouldn’t dare to contend with them, right?

Even the backer behind the Divine Thunder Gang had to bow to Yun Xiao, so Lei Sha felt that lowering his head to the Lv Family at this moment was not too embarrassing.

"I don’t dare! I don’t dare!"

Lv An, still not fully recovered, kept repeating these words. Until the Jade Bottle was in his hands and Lei Sha had left the Lv family’s hall with the members of the Divine Thunder Gang, he remained in a daze.

"Father, do you think the Divine Thunder Gang’s sudden change of attitude is because of Yun Xiao?"

Lü Xiaoman’s beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of surprise, and the image of a figure carrying a Wooden Sword in coarse clothing floated in her mind. Suddenly enlightened, she gently asked while supporting Lv An.

"Yun Xiao?!"

Suddenly hearing the name engraved in his bones, Lv An finally snapped out of it, nodding repeatedly. The Lv Family only had one person who could make Lei Sha retreat, perhaps it was that terrifyingly powerful young man.

"Ah, I understand now!"

While Lv An was pondering, the Third Elder of the Lv Family, Lv Qian, suddenly shouted, then excitedly said, "When Lei Sha said ’actually won,’ he likely referred to the battle on Stepping Heavenly Stone, right?"

This Third Elder of the Lv Family, Lv Qian, reacted sharply, obviously recalling Lei Sha’s previous loss of composure. Connecting the dots, the truth was not difficult to guess.

After all, the battle on Stepping Heavenly Stone at Chongxiao River was known across the Tenglong Continent, and even in the far-off Wuchuan City, they likely heard of it.

As for Yun Xiao’s enmity with Sky Thunder Valley, it was no secret. Presumably, a large portion of the cultivators from Sky Thunder Valley hoped for Yun Xiao and the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River to perish together.

Seeing Lei Sha’s attitude now, it was evident that the young man associated with the Lv Family was clearly the ultimate victor, even if the Lv Family Elders didn’t know the details, they could still guess a thing or two.

It was precisely because of Yun Xiao’s overwhelming victory that Lei Sha’s attitude abruptly changed. However, while some Lv Family members guessed part of it, they didn’t grasp the deeper layers.

Only after a few days, when the Lv Family’s intelligence system was in operation and learned the details before and after that battle, did they finally understand, simultaneously feeling endless emotion.

While Yun Xiao’s defeat of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit was indeed one reason, the most important reason for Lei Sha’s retreat was Sky Thunder Valley’s concession to Yun Xiao.

Thus, anyone associated with Yun Xiao was not easily provoked because doing so might cause the hard-won forgiveness from Sky Thunder Valley to vanish in an instant.

The entire continent, be it great or small matters, was subtly changing due to that shocking battle, but as for the parties involved, during this period, they turned a deaf ear to external affairs.
