Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Third Young Master, you must leave quickly!"

The Wang Family Elder who spoke earlier was called Wang Yuzhi. Although he was somewhat disappointed by Wang Zilang's inability to cultivate, he was a kind and benevolent person. At this moment, he loudly warned him.

Grievously wounded, Wang Yuzhi did not sense that Wang Zilang possessed the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm cultivation. He always assumed that he was still the useless Third Young Master who could not cultivate.

The Wang Family is now in turmoil, and for Wang Zilang, a young master who cannot cultivate, returning to the family at this moment is like walking into a trap.

Wang Yuzhi believed that with Wang Yinglong's disposition, he might still spare the lives of the Heaven Rank elders. But a useless young master, who is also a direct descendant of Wang Yingqi, likely wouldn't survive even a short while.

"Third Young Master, Wang Yinglong has colluded with the Lu Family, attempting to seize power and usurp the position. You must leave now!"

Seeing that the useless Third Young Master did not move an inch after hearing his initial warning, Wang Yuzhi became anxious. His follow-up words finally made Wang Zilang's expression change slightly.

The two figures who had just entered the hall were naturally Yun Xiao and Wang Zilang. They never imagined such a drastic change had occurred in the Wang Family.

"No wonder Wang Zitong and Lu Lianheng are so close, it all makes sense now!"

Hearing the elder's words, Wang Zilang finally understood some things, and an extreme anger rose in his eyes. His second uncle would stop at nothing to become the Family Head.

Beside him, Yun Xiao remained calm. As for Wang Zitong, whose Dantian had been destroyed, they had left him somewhere. A cripple like him couldn't stir up any trouble.

Regarding these grudges within the Wang Family, Yun Xiao wouldn't have intervened if it weren't for Wang Zilang saving his life. But now that they had encountered it, they might as well resolve it.

However, Yun Xiao, with his youthful appearance, naturally posed no threat to Wang Yinglong. The Wang Family is already the top family in Yulong City, and even the family's greatest genius, Wang Zifu, only has the cultivation of Floating Life Realm Early Stage.

So in Wang Yinglong's mind, this young man in white, barely in his twenties, at most had Peak of Earth Bending Realm cultivation. With such cultivation, how could he change the current situation of the Wang Family?

"Since you've returned, leaving won't be that easy anymore."

The next moment, the cold smile on Wang Yinglong's face grew even more pronounced. His words made Wang Yuzhi's heart sink to the bottom.

Wang Yuzhi seemed to realize that Wang Zitong had likely colluded with Wang Yinglong. As a result, Wang Yingqi's lineage was essentially cut off.

Even if Wang Zitong could succeed Wang Yinglong as Family Head in the future, it would be illegitimate and unrecognized by the loyal underground souls.

Moreover, given Wang Yinglong's nature, he might not allow a descendant of Wang Yingqi to succeed him as Family Head, meaning Wang Zilang's sudden return dashed the last hope of Wang Yingqi's lineage.

Boom!

Just as Wang Yinglong planned to have someone capture Wang Zilang to divert Wang Yingqi's attention, a loud sound was heard, followed by a figure stumbling back several steps, their aura in disarray.

"Brother!"

Wang Zilang's sharp eyes immediately recognized the retreating figure as his elder brother, Wang Zifu. He exclaimed in shock and rushed to support him.

"Zilang?"

The turbulent aura within Wang Zifu's body was barely suppressed. Upon hearing the exclamation, he found it familiar. When he turned his head to see, his expression changed.

"Zilang, you fool. How could you return at such a time?"

Wang Zifu was momentarily unable to comprehend the situation. Upon this remark, he saw a trace of helplessness and a hint of strangeness on his third brother's face.

"Brother, how could I have known such drastic changes would occur in the family? But rest assured, now that we... we have returned, neither Wang Yinglong nor the Lu Family will come to a good end!"

Wang Zilang responded helplessly at first, then glimpsed at a certain coarse-clothed figure. His words made Wang Zifu smile wryly and shake his head.

At this moment, Wang Zifu realized he had asked a foolish question. The turmoil in the Wang Family today was unnoticed even by him and his father, let alone by Zilang, the pitiable third brother exiled to the Five Desolate Village.

But Wang Zifu's mood was still somewhat melancholy, secretly thinking that if Zilang had never returned to the family, even if it fell into Wang Yinglong's hands, it may not have paid much attention to a useless being with Innate Pulse Cutting.

Then Zilang could live a life in peace, though perhaps enduring some humiliation, it might not have been a bad outcome.

But now that Wang Zilang has stormed in of his own accord, Wang Yinglong surely won't show any mercy, demonstrating the principle of eradicating the root of problems.

As for the comments made by Wang Zilang earlier, Wang Zifu chose not to expose him on the spot, but he simply refused to believe that today's situation could be resolved by a wasteful third brother like Wang Zilang.

"And as for that unfamiliar young man, it's even more impossible!"

There was a moment when Wang Zifu glanced at Yun Xiao, but soon dismissed this unrealistic notion, thinking that the boy was even younger than Wang Zilang and could hardly cultivate Meridian Qi to any significant level.

As the foremost genius of Yulong City, he naturally carried a certain arrogance, believing that his cultivation was among the top even in the surrounding cities, particularly among the younger generation, with no one possibly stronger than him.

Moreover, even if that young man truly was a Floating Life Realm Early Stage genius, it still wouldn't alter the situation of the Wang Family today. If he forced his way out, it would only result in another corpse.

In fact, even Wang Zilang himself was unsure of Yun Xiao's cultivation level or whether he possessed the strength to resolve the Wang Family's crisis, but nonetheless, he felt boundless confidence in the young man.

It might be because Wang Zilang had already talked to Yun Xiao about the Wang Family's situation along the way, and even after knowing that the Wang Family had Lingyun Realm experts, Yun Xiao remained serenely unfazed, displaying a transcendent demeanor.

All in all, at this point, Wang Zilang had no better option but to place all his hopes on Yun Xiao, as his own Peak of Spirit Vein Realm cultivation was far from capable of altering the current situation.

Bang!

Just as Wang Zilang was about to say something, another loud noise resounded, followed by a figure stumbling back four or five steps, just like Wang Zifu earlier, before managing to regain his footing.

"Father!"

Once again, Wang Zilang was the first to cry out in surprise. The figure forced back by the strong aura was none other than Wang Yingqi, the current Family Head of the Wang Family.

At this moment, Wang Yingqi's face was undoubtedly extremely grim, his inner meridian qi chaotic. He ignored Wang Zilang's cries and kept his gaze locked on the smug-faced Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Guixiong.

"Heh, Wang Yingqi, surprised? My Lu Family's cultivation technique is known to be invincible at the same level. You'd better surrender quickly!"

A somewhat arrogant voice emanated from the Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Guixiong, and upon hearing the words "invincible at the same level," a peculiar glint flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes.

If anyone could claim the title of "invincible at the same level," it truly would be Yun Xiao. To him, even challenging opponents beyond his rank was as simple as eating or drinking.

Yet, this guy who popped out of nowhere dared to declare "invincible at the same level" right before Yun Xiao's eyes, which nearly caused him to laugh aloud, but he managed to suppress it forcefully.

"Yinglong, can't you see the situation clearly yet?"

Wang Yingqi ignored Lu Guixiong's smug remarks, turning his gaze to his own brother, saying, "Only if the two of us work together can the Wang Family avoid destruction!"

It seemed Wang Yingqi hadn't given up the last sliver of hope. If Wang Yinglong had a change of heart, not only would the Wang Family crisis be resolved, but all Lu Family experts could be kept here.

"Brother, my stance remains unchanged. As long as you pass the position of Family Head to me, I guarantee we will unite as brothers to fend off external threats!"

The moment seemed ripe, and Wang Yinglong's eyes flashed with a steely light as he repeated his terms, finally causing Wang Yingqi, who had been persistent, to waver in his thoughts.

It wasn't that Wang Yingqi was unwilling to relinquish his position; his heart was with the Wang Family's interests. He believed that even if Lu Guixiong killed him, Lu Guixiong wouldn't likely honor his promise to jointly govern Yulong City with the Wang Family.

Imagining the collapse of the vast Wang Family after his death, Wang Yingqi couldn't bear it, especially when seeing the fallen Wang Family Elders and the dying state of the Second Elder. His previously hard heart finally softened.

"Fine, I agree..."

Thoughts raced through his mind, and to preserve the Wang Family's strength, Wang Yingqi was about to say something substantive. However, just as a smile of joy appeared in Wang Yinglong's heart—

His words were interrupted by a cold voice.

"This must be the Lu Family Tomb Master, right? Could you kindly give me, Yun Xiao, some consideration and stop causing trouble for the Wang Family from now on?"

A slightly unfamiliar voice echoed through the Wang Family Hall, clear enough for every Wang Family member and Lu Family cultivator to hear.

But while the words were perfectly audible, when they turned their eyes toward the speaker, there was a strange sense of "the wind is too strong, I didn't hear clearly."

Because the individual who boldly uttered such words was nothing but a coarse-clothed youth who seemed barely in his twenties, at that moment, the Wang Family Hall became quite silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the coarse-clothed young man, wanting to know what kind of audacity allowed him to utter such outrageously naive words. It was simply too audacious.
