Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"This foolish old man!"

Family Head Song Hao watched as the Second Elder of the Song Family fled without even a fight, his anger already at its limits. Seeing that the latter did not dodge or evade the blood-red flame emanating from Yun Xiao, he could not help but curse out loud in anxiety.

However, the Ancestral Vein Fire from Yun Xiao dissipated quickly, and he had employed some tricks to conceal the sound of breaking wind and the fierce aura of the Fire Attribute.

By the time the Second Elder of the Song Family sensed the aura approaching from behind, it was too late to evade. The blood-red firelight directly hit his back, causing his body to suddenly stiffen.

Boom!

In the next moment, the entire body of the Second Elder of the Song Family was enveloped in blood-red flames. These flames seemed to appear out of nowhere on his body, extremely terrifying and eerie.

As Yun Xiao's first activated Ancestor Vein, this Ancestral Vein Fire, empowered by the Blood Moon Jade, was likely even stronger than his Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power.

In just a brief moment, the Second Elder of the Song Family, who was just alive and kicking, had turned into a pile of ashes. This sight was not as visually striking as the two ice sculptures, but the fear it induced was several times stronger.

This was, after all, a powerhouse at the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm. Even if caught unprepared, the fierceness of those flames was unimaginable. The onlookers had never heard of such horrifying flames.

"It's your turn now, Third Elder of the Song Family!"

And Yun Xiao, as if he had just done something trivial, suddenly shifted his gaze to an elder who was trembling all over and pale-faced.

Naturally, this person was the Third Elder of the Song Family. Seeing one after another of the Song Family members die, and that even the Great Elder and Second Elder at the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm were no match for Yun Xiao, what waves could he, a late-stage Spirit Vein Realm Third Elder, possibly make?

Seeing that anyone targeted by Yun Xiao would be killed in an instant, the Third Elder of the Song Family had a sudden epiphany and shouted, "Yun Xiao, wait!"

"Oh? Do you have any last words to say?"

Yun Xiao actually stopped at this moment. After all, it would take a few breaths' time for the several Peak Spirit Vein Realm powerhouses to catch up, and he had already guessed the intention of the Third Elder of the Song Family and did not mind waiting.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Third Elder of the Song Family wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and, without paying any more attention to Yun Xiao, instead turned toward the Song Family members.

"Fellow members of the Song Family, Song Hao, as the Family Head, has acted perversely against our interests, attracting such a powerful enemy, and bringing about this calamity of annihilation upon us. I propose that all Song Family members cast a joint vote to remove Song Hao from his position as the Family Head!"

The voice of the Third Elder of the Song Family was unmasked, clearly heard by the Song Family members and even the surrounding onlookers, who were all left with strange expressions on their faces.

As soon as these words were spoken, Family Head Song Hao, who was rushing over, stopped dead in his tracks. His face also changed drastically in that moment, with a somber mood likely making up more than ninety percent of it.

"Song Ting, do you realize what you're doing?"

A furious Song Hao, with his face turning livid, bellowed, and this also informed Yun Xiao and the other onlookers of the Third Elder of the Song Family's name.

"I am fully aware of what I'm doing, Song Hao. As the Family Head of the Song Family, have you ever considered for us, the members of the Song Family? These people, they died because of you!"

Having made his decision, the Third Elder Song Ting no longer had any scruples. Pointing to the living members of the Song Family and then to those decapitated corpses, he seemed very distressed.

"They... they were all killed by Yun Xiao, what does it have to do with the Family Head?"

Song Hao's face twitched, genuinely puzzled by this logic. Clearly, these people died by Yun Xiao's Wooden Sword. How could this account be charged to himself, the Family Head of the Song Family?

Unfortunately, strength was the ultimate authority on this Continent. Yun Xiao's terrifying and ruthless methods had really scared the remaining members of the Song Family. They knew that if they did not make some "wise" decisions, the Song Family might really end up with no survivors today.

"Fellow members of the Song Family, stand behind me if you agree with my proposal!"

Ignoring Song Hao's defense and sensing the faintly dangerous aura emanating from Yun Xiao, Song Ting shouted again. After this shout, all of the remaining Song Family members, without any hesitation...

Clatter!

In just a few breaths, the remaining members of the Song Family all swiftly stood behind the Third Elder Song Ting, with such speed that it was truly breathtaking.

"You... you all..."

Seeing this scene, Song Hao really almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, but with so many members of the Song Family gathered together, no matter what, it was impossible for him to kill everyone. Therefore, his gaze had already shifted to that roughly-dressed young boy at this moment.

"Yun Xiao, you truly are ruthless!"

Perhaps at this moment in Song Hao's heart, compared to Yun Xiao's exceptional combat power, this verbal tact was what he found most frightening and infuriating.

Just a single sentence had caused all the members of the Song Family to abandon their Family Head. Song Hao felt that even if he had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to win back the hearts of those people.

This is the law of survival of the fittest on the Nine Dragons Continent. When the Song Family was the leading family among the three great families in the Imperial City, how proud and spirited they were, and Song Hao, as the Family Head, was also treated with great reverence and love by many family members.

But when the wall is down, everyone pushes it. When this Family Head could no longer bring prosperity to the Song Family, but instead brought calamity and misfortune, being abandoned had become an inevitability.

"Young Master Yun Xiao, the encirclement and suppression of the Jade Pot Sect at that time was entirely Song Hao's decision. We just obeyed orders, and now that he is no longer the Family Head of the Song Family, you may deal with him as you wish. Our Song Family will have no complaints whatsoever!"

This Third Elder of the Song Family also seemed to be a crafty old fox, playing his part fully. At this moment, he added an honorific to his address to Yun Xiao, making the onlookers couldn't help but sigh, what a character this Song Ting really was.

"If that's the case, then let the Song Family disperse from this day forward. Don't let me see any of you in the Imperial City again!"

Yun Xiao was not a bloodthirsty person. Having slaughtered dozens of Spirit Vein Realm experts of the Song Family and dealt with the Great Elder and the Second Elder, the remaining riff-raff didn't really concern him too much.

Thinking that Song Ting, the shrewd Third Elder, wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble. After all, even the entire Song Family was no match for him, what waves could a disbanded Song Family stir up?

"Yes!"

As expected, after Yun Xiao's words fell, Song Ting didn't hesitate at all. He had long wanted to leave this place of trouble, and now with this opportunity, how could he not seize it?

"How dare you!"

Upon seeing this, Song Hao immediately bellowed, but the only result of his shout was to attract nothing but contempt from Song Ting and many other members of the Song Family. Do you still think you are the Family Head?

"What are you still doing here? Waiting to die?"

This was what went through the minds of these Song Family members. This Family Head brought about the destruction of the family, and now he still wanted them to stay here and die with him, what a shameless Family Head indeed.

Amid Song Hao's shouting, the Song Family members dispersed like birds and beasts, and the vast Song Residence, once the leading family amongst the three great families in the Imperial City, had become an empty haunted house in an instant.

Seeing those Song Family members scrambling to flee, all the onlookers felt exceedingly emotional. Was this really the doing of a single person? Moreover, this person was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youngster.

If people had only heard rumors about the annihilation of the Guan and Wang families before, then what they witnessed today was how the leading family amongst the three great families in the Imperial City had been completely dispersed by the power of one man—Yun Xiao.

The bodies of several dozen headless Song Family members on the ground were still emitting the stench of blood, and the lifelike ice sculpture of the Song Family Great Elder was especially telling of the fierceness of this battle.

However, some of the more prudent and reserved individuals had, at this moment, turned their gaze to a certain place, where the Commander of the Xuantie Army, Yan Chun, and Yan Yong were located.

"Commander Yan Chun, Commander Yan Yong, please lend me a helping hand to shred this little thief into ten thousand pieces!"

With the Song Family's powerhouses dead or scattered, Song Hao could only place his hopes on these two Commanders of the Xuantie Army. However, as his words fell, what he saw were two faces showing slight hesitation.

Yan Chun and Yan Yong did not pay attention to Song Hao's words. Instead, they exchanged glances and then slowly nodded their heads before finally turning their gaze to the former Family Head of the Song Family.

"Sorry, Family Head Song, please forgive the incapacity of the Xuantie Army!"

A hint of inexplicable light flickered in Yan Chun's eyes. As his words ended, he did not bother with Song Hao's ashen face and instead shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"Hehe, Commander Yan Chun is quite sensible after all!"

Seeing Yan Chun's gaze come over, a smile suddenly appeared on Yun Xiao's face, but these words, to the recipient, carried nothing but sarcasm.

"Yun Xiao, don't be too arrogant. One day, you will pay the price for this!"

Watching this youngster, who used to look up to him back in the Jade Pot Sect, anger surged within Yan Chun, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, indicating a certain attitude.

Who would have thought that just as Yan Chun's harsh words fell, the rough youth's face suddenly turned cold, and he was heard saying sternly, "I don't think we need to wait for that day. If Commander Yan Chun is unsatisfied, feel free to make your move now. I, Yun Xiao, will take it on!"
