Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"You... You... You want to exterminate the Wang Family completely?"

Wang Yingqi, shocked, uttered three "You" words in succession before completing a full sentence. He had never imagined that Yu Guang from the Emperor Palace would actually want to wipe out the Wang Family.

"Wang Yinglong, are you satisfied now?"

Beside him, Wang Zifu was also torn between anger and shock. But at this moment, the person he hated most wasn’t Yu Guang; it was his own uncle, Wang Yinglong, because he had witnessed the entire process.

In fact, Yu Guang wasn’t wrong. If it weren’t for his promise to Wang Zilong, he could have left after obtaining the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid without taking such risks, thus achieving both fame and fortune.

However, Wang Yinglong’s spiteful heart and wild ambitions to become the Family Head forced Yu Guang to adhere to his promise to kill the current Family Head of the Wang Family, Wang Yingqi. This was the origin of the impending extermination of the Wang Family.

"Lord Yu Guang, it’s enough to just kill Wang Yingqi; there’s no need to kill the others!"

Faced with Wang Zifu’s angry sarcasm, Wang Yinglong was in no mood to pay attention. He was still alarmed by Yu Guang’s decision and immediately tried to persuade him.

"Do I, Yu Guang, need you to teach me how to act? Moreover..."

Yu Guang’s eyes flashed with anger before he smiled faintly, switching the tone of his words: "You will soon be a dead man. Do these things still matter?"

"Wha... What?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yinglong was shocked; he had never expected such an outcome. Even if his Dantian was shattered and he couldn’t cultivate, his life was ultimately spared. But now it seemed he was truly lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

"This is what one calls bringing calamity upon oneself!"

Not far away, Yun Xiao saw everything clearly, and a hint of sentiment flashed in his eyes. However, he was enjoying this grand drama immensely.

When Yu Guang spoke those words, for some reason, many Wang Family members, even though aware of their impending doom, couldn’t help but feel a burst of pleasure.

It seemed that seeing the detestable Wang Yinglong pay the price for his actions was a most delightful affair. If they were to die, then let everyone go to Hell together.

"Lord Yu Guang, you promised me..."

"Indeed, I promised to help you ascend to the position of the Wang Family Patriarch, but..."

Wang Yinglong was about to say something when Yu Guang interrupted him, and then the mighty figure from the Emperor Palace continued: "But I never said I wouldn’t kill you, so this doesn’t count as breaking the promise, does it?"

"Moreover, after killing the Wang Family’s Patriarch, you did stand in the Patriarch’s position, although for a brief time, haha!"

This might have been a rationale Yu Guang thought of on the spot, but as he spoke, he felt the move was flawless, and he laughed proudly.

Yu Guang’s meaning was that he followed his earlier promise to Wang Yinglong, allowing him to temporarily assume the position of Wang Family Tomb Master, albeit only for thirty minutes, after which he would send him to join the Wang Family members underground.

Wang Yinglong, wise in mind, immediately understood Yu Guang’s words, and panic ensued, his state of mind undergoing a dramatic change.

"No! Lord Yu Guang, I no longer need you to adhere to the promise; just take me away, and our agreement will be considered complete!"

For some reason, Yang Yinglong, once fearless and defiant, now cherished his life more than ever with his Dantian abolished. For survival, such words of reneging meant little indeed.

"Sorry, but I, Yu Guang, am not a person who destroys my own promises!"

Unfortunately, it was too late for Wang Yinglong to realize now. When he heard these words from Yu Guang, an endless regret arose deep within his heart.

"You, and all of you, make a decision yourselves. If I have to act, you might suffer some unbearable pain!"

After saying this, Yu Guang no longer paid attention to Wang Yinglong, but raised his hand, first pointing at Wang Yingqi, and then gestured around. Although his voice was gentle, it contained an undeniable authority.

It seemed this mighty Emperor Palace figure, Yu Guang, even thought it unnecessary to act himself. In his view, for an Emperor Palace command, even if it required their self-inflicted demise, the other party should dare not resist.

"And you!"

In this absolutely silent moment, Yu Guang finally noticed the coarse-clothed youth who had been standing by the hall door, then turned his arm and pointed at Yun Xiao.

To be honest, in the eyes of Yu Guang, a Lingyun Realm Peak expert, he has never paid attention to that rough-clothed young man in his early twenties, merely thinking that this was some descendant of the Wang Family, here mingling amidst the commotion.

Although the death of the Lu Family Members surprised Yu Guang a bit, he never considered that the downfall of the Lu Family could be related to that young rough-clothed boy.

But now, since he has already decided to kill them all to eliminate witnesses, none of the Wang Family members in this great hall could leave alive, not even those outside the hall, as Yu Guang had already sentenced them to death.

And when Yu Guang turned his gaze to Yun Xiao, seeing that the young boy showed no hint of fear on his face, completely different from the frightened expressions of the Wang Family members, a wave of anger rose up within him.

A mere brat, daring to show no reverence for him, a Lingyun Realm expert, such arrogance had sealed his own death. Once that hint of anger emerged, Yu Guang felt he couldn’t let the boy die so easily.

"You are Yu Guang, aren’t you? Actually, I’m quite interested in that Jade Bottle in your hand, would you mind handing it over to me?"

As Yu Guang contemplated a way to deal with the rough-clothed boy, the boy unexpectedly uttered these words, causing the great hall to fall silent.

All the Wang Family members, including Yu Guang himself, felt like their ears were playing tricks on them, because although the Jade Bottle in his hand seemed ordinary, it contained Heavenly Rank Intermediate Heavenly Void Soul Liquid after all.

This was the main reason for the esteemed Emperor Palace expert, Yu Guang, from the Peak of Lingyun Realm, to condescend to this little Yulong City; how could he possibly hand it over just because of a boy’s request?

Especially considering Yu Guang came from the Emperor Palace, backed by the Emperor Canglong Palace, all the Wang Family members thought that the boy named Yun Xiao must be insane, as this was something no sane person would say.

Even Wang Zilang, who had the greatest confidence in Yun Xiao, was startled when the latter spoke out, but given the circumstances, everyone was going to die anyway, so he refrained from further persuasion.

"Boy, do you even know what you’re saying?"

After slightly losing his composure, Yu Guang coldly asked back, not acting immediately, wanting to know where the young boy got the courage to speak to him this way.

"I have to say, your cultivation at the peak of Lingyun Realm hosts such robust hearing issues; let me say it again, as long as you hand over the Jade Bottle, I can promise to let you leave the Wang Family alive!"

Hearing the opponent’s cold tone, Yun Xiao shook his head slightly, somewhat resignedly. His words were tinged with both sentiment and sarcasm, yet also contained an uncompromising arrogance that nearly amused Yu Guang.

"Tsk, tsk. I’ve never seen such a reckless kid during all my years in Yongxiu City!"

Yu Guang laughed in anger, then extended his hand and sneered, "The Heavenly Void Soul Liquid is right here in my hand, if you have the skills, come and take it yourself!"

"Just don’t say I didn’t warn you; my belongings aren’t easily taken. Consider the consequences carefully!"

The following words from Yu Guang were brimming with threats, not necessarily suggesting that Yun Xiao could easily be killed but rather indicating that he might suffer a fate worse than death.

Sometimes, death isn’t fearsome. A swift death won’t bring much pain, and to some extent, it could be seen as a release.

But when you endure endless suffering and still cannot die, that’s when you realize how extravagant a peaceful death can be.

Evidently, Yun Xiao’s twice-spoken words had genuinely angered this Peak expert of the Emperor Palace, who resolved to make this wildly arrogant boy experience a fate worse than death.

"It’s impolite to refuse!"

While Yu Guang was contemplating some schemes, the rough-clothed boy on the opposite side didn’t hesitate at all. As his words fell, the thin figure was already striding boldly toward Yu Guang.

"Boy, I must say, just in terms of courage, you’re the first person I’ve ever acknowledged!"

At this moment, though Yu Guang’s heart was greatly infuriated, he didn’t hold back a compliment, as a faint green Meridian Qi had already emerged around him.

"This Yu Guang is indeed a Poison Vein Master!"

Though Wang Yingqi, the Wang Family Patriarch, wasn’t a Meridian Refining Master, nor did his Power of Soul compare to Yun Xiao and Yu Guang, his experience was quite extensive. Sensing the strange aura from Yu Guang, he stated the fact with a gloomy expression.

Wang Yingqi guessed correctly, the highly skilled expert from Yongxiu City Emperor Palace, Yu Guang was indeed a genuine Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, just a step away from reaching Heavenly Rank Intermediate.

This is the true reason Yu Guang eagerly wants the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid. Yet in his mind, even if he doesn’t break through to Heavenly Rank Intermediate Poison Vein Master, dealing with a wet-behind-the-ears young boy wouldn’t be a problem.

Yu Guang hadn’t witnessed how the Lu Family Members died earlier, so he assumed this boy in his twenties was at most at the Earth Rank Third Realm level, how could he be a match for Yu Guang?
