Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!

After five columns of light passed, another five descended from the sky, and then another five elders from the Lingyun Sect vanished into thin air, until at this moment, the footsteps of the remaining elders finally came to a sudden halt.

"This time, we really miscalculated!"

If the elder who had shouted loudly before were still alive, he would probably have been stared to death by the resentful gazes of these few remaining, because the teenager opposite was not someone who could only emit one five-colored light column at a time; the power that obliterated five individuals this time was simply too terrifying.

Indeed, as the teen had previously described in four words, these elders at the late stage or even peak of the Spirit Vein Realm were truly like chickens and dogs, easily shattered.

The remaining few elders, it was as if roots had sprouted from their feet, completely unable to move an inch, or perhaps they knew that whether they moved forwards or backwards, as long as the five-colored light column wanted to hit them, they definitely couldn't dodge it.

The current elders of the Lingyun Sect and those younger sect disciples seemed like prisoners waiting for a judge's sentence or lambs waiting to be slaughtered at a slaughterhouse, and that coarse-robed teenager with a calm expression was the high and mighty judge.

As for Xu Hongzhuang and her daughter not far away, their bodies trembled slightly, as Yun Xiao's performance today had completely overturned their understanding of the youth.

Especially Xu Hongzhuang, half a year ago at the Hidden Dragon Conference, Yun Xiao could only contend with peers of his age, and when battling Nie Qianqiu and Shen Wannian, he had to use some formidable methods and expend a lot of effort to emerge victorious.

But in such a short time, Yun Xiao had grown to his current level; Xu Lingsong, at the Earth Rank Realm, had been brutally defeated by him after activating the Ancestor Vein Power.

And those elders of Lingyun Sect, who were at the late stage or even peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, were annihilated in the blink of an eye by Yun Xiao; those few remaining were like mere kittens, probably not even sparking his interest anymore.

The stark contrast renewed Xu Hongzhuang's regret intensely as she looked at her father with resentful eyes, thinking how such a dazzling genius, had it not been for the past events, could have been with her through thick and thin.

Unfortunately, none of this could be reversed, and Yun Xiao, having slain a full eleven Lingyun Sect elders, left no room for reconciliation between the two.

Now, belonging to Lingyun Sect, though filled with profound hatred for Yun Xiao, none dared to act rashly anymore, as they all wished not to be senselessly blasted into ashes.

"Sigh… Finally, these old guys have been intimidated!"

Seeing the remaining elders dare not move, Yun Xiao quietly exhaled a breath of relief, sensing the extreme weakness within his body, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Honestly speaking, his continuous deployment of the five-colored light column, especially twice in succession, had exhausted the Meridian Qi inside him, which could be described as terrifying.

This formidable method that Yun Xiao had unlocked by activating the Gold Attribute Ancestor Vein was indeed powerful and seemingly a growing technique, but the consumption of Meridian Qi was far too severe.

If those elders of Lingyun Sect weren't afraid of dying and had kept rushing forward, Yun Xiao would have had to resort to other methods to defeat them, which wouldn't have been as easy as before.

So, while Yun Xiao continued to operate the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique to recover his Meridian Qi, he stopped paying attention to those elders and turned his head back, focusing on Xu Lingsong.

"Sect Leader Xu, at this point, do you still say Lingyun Sect hasn't been defeated?"

The emotionless, soft voice came from Yun Xiao, and combined with the might of annihilating eleven elders just prior, it felt as though it sucked out the last bit of strength from Xu Lingsong's body.

"I, Lingyun Sect, indeed admit defeat!"

At this moment, Xu Lingsong no longer bore the arrogance he had before, but instead returned a demeanor of a sect's leader, listened to himself repeat those words, then raised his head, staring intensely into Yun Xiao's eyes.

"Yun Xiao, the massacre of the Shang Family, it's planned solely by me and the Great Elder Yu Qian, and it's unrelated to the other people of Lingyun Sect. As long as you agree to spare them, I, Xu Lingsong, am willing to end my own life and make amends to you!"

After staring into Yun Xiao's eyes for a long while, Xu Lingsong suddenly uttered these words, causing all the cultivators of Lingyun Sect to feel a sense of desolation and loneliness.

As the largest sect of the Lingtian Empire, the elders and disciples of Lingyun Sect had never experienced such humiliation, and to think it arrived with others forcing their way in, pressing them to bow their heads.

Now even the Sect Leader was forced into self-end, to extinguish Yun Xiao's hatred, it seemed Xu Lingsong knew there was no hope for him to live and wanted to create an escape route for the remaining cultivators of Lingyun Sect in these final moments.

Somehow, hearing Xu Lingsong's words, Yun Xiao, who initially wanted to continue his massacre, suddenly lost his interest, and he also believed Xu Lingsong's words were true; the massacre of the Shang Family, many cultivators of Lingyun Sect, in fact, had been unaware.

After all, this secretive matter, even Xu Lingsong who hadn't shared it with his own father and daughter, how could he spread it further?

"Alright, I agree with you!"

Yun Xiao's deep voice sounded, then he withdrew the Dragon Taming Sword in his hand, believing that under this circumstance, in consideration of the entire sect's life, Xu Lingsong would probably not resort to any more schemes.

Perhaps in Yun Xiao's heart, this result was already the best possible outcome, after all, he still held a good impression of Xu Hongzhuang and Xu Qingyuan in his heart, it was just an unfortunate misunderstanding.

"I do not agree!"

However, just as all the cultivators of Lingyun Sect felt an internal struggle and were secretly relieved, a familiar female voice suddenly came through; right after, a flash of red appeared in front of Yun Xiao, and a graceful figure blocked between him and Xu Lingsong.

"Yun Xiao, I do not agree!"

The person who arrived was Xu Hongzhuang, her eyes, which previously harbored unspoken melancholy, now replaced with a streak of stubbornness and resolve, reminiscent of someone's eyes, which made Yun Xiao feel an irritatation in his heart.

"Hongzhuang, this is a grudge between Yun Xiao and me, step aside quickly!"

Xu Lingsong, who had already resolved to face death, was somewhat flustered seeing Xu Hongzhuang suddenly step in between, regardless of his ruthless nature, he dearly loved this precious daughter.

Now Yun Xiao, clearly had grown into a peak existence of the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, and with his decisive and fierce nature, Xu Lingsong was truly afraid that in his anger, Xu Hongzhuang might also bear the brunt of it.

Xu Lingsong was not very clear about the intersection between Xu Hongzhuang and Yun Xiao, he only knew how much harm Lingyun Sect's previous actions had caused to Yun Xiao, this man who does not evidently show his joy or anger.

"Father, I do not agree!"

Hearing Xu Lingsong's scolding, Xu Hongzhuang spoke out "I do not agree" for the third time, seemingly making clear her position and undeniable attitude to everyone.

"Yun Xiao, I have already inquired about it, initially your mother and you had a bad relationship with the other members of the Shang Family, and when Yu Qian led people to eradicate the Shang Family, you must have been driven to a dead end, right?"

Turning back, Xu Hongzhuang spoke confidently, causing even Yun Xiao to show surprise on his face, knowing such a secretive matter was not known to many back then.

However, Yun Xiao thought again and soon realized, as long as one deliberately inquires, it would not be difficult to discover the relationship his family had with the Shang Family, and from there deduce something else, which was not impossible.

"Setting aside the other members of the Shang Family, I happened to meet your sister Yun Wei at the end of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, and she was not dead, so this vengeance for killing your sister doesn't quite hold, does it?"

Xu Hongzhuang, organizing her thoughts, spoke confidently, her words enlightening Xu Lingsong to another possibility.

"What about my mother?"

Yun Xiao responded to Xu Hongzhuang, neither affirming nor denying, but countered with a question. Although Yu Qian had mentioned that his mother might still be alive, without seeing her in person, it remained just a mere hope.

"Yun Xiao, I believe that your mother is still alive, and I, Xu Hongzhuang, swear, I will do everything in my power to rescue her throughout my lifetime. If I break this vow, let the Heavenly Tribulation come and turn me into ashes!"

As if she had anticipated Yun Xiao's question, Xu Hongzhuang suddenly raised her right hand with three fingers straightened, looking up to the sky, casting a Heavenly Tribulation oath, causing several nearby individuals to change their facial expressions drastically.

"Hongzhuang, why would you do this!"

Xu Lingsong sighed, feeling the Heavenly Dao's rules enveloping Xu Hongzhuang, and he didn't know what to say anymore, for the oath had already been cast, and if violated, she would likely be truly turned into ashes.

Under the rules of Heavenly Dao, a Heavenly Tribulation oath is bound to come true, which was why Xu Lingsong dared not lie in his Heavenly oath before, under such a tribulation of Heavenly Dao, no one could avoid it.

Xu Lingsong also understood Xu Hongzhuang's painstaking effort; it was her taking on the responsibility to amend her father's wrongdoing, carrying it entirely on her shoulders.

Perhaps at this moment, Xu Lingsong might have felt a trace of regret, today Lingyun Sect turned into this state, it all started because of that initial decision.

"Ha, just with your cultivation at the Peak of Meridian Union Realm? And do you even know where my mother is confined?"

Hearing Xu Hongzhuang's Heavenly Tribulation oath, Yun Xiao suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but instead, chuckled lightly. With his current Power of Soul, he could naturally see Xu Hongzhuang's Meridian Qi Cultivation.

As Yun Xiao said, even if Xu Hongzhuang had broken through to the Peak of Meridian Union Realm during this period, the idea of rescuing his mother was still an impossible fantasy, even he himself did not know exactly where his mother was confined.
