Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

When these thoughts flashed through Yun Xiao’s mind, he truly felt pity for the Jade Pot Sect. That even its two Great Elders had been bought by the Royal Family; he wondered what kind of feelings their Sect Master, his teacher, would harbor upon finding out.

Although the man in black had not revealed his true face, Yun Xiao grew more and more confident that he was Elder Fu Du. However, at the moment, he had no time to concern himself with Elder Fu Du, as Yan Chun in front of him was probably the formidable enemy he needed to deal with.

"What a joke. I, Yan Chun, am originally the commander of the Xuantie Army, loyal to the Royal Family. Did you really think I cared so much about my identity as the fifth Elder of the Jade Pot Sect?"

As Yun Xiao pondered, Yan Chun interjected with a cold laugh, and upon hearing this, Yun Xiao suddenly realized something.

"So it was you. The Seven Evil Poisonous Flame that afflicted Elder Li Shan, it was you who secretly deployed it!"

Yun Xiao did not attempt to conceal his accusation, and even Lu Zhan and the man in black heard it. Compared to Lu Zhan’s shock, the man in black - indeed Elder Fu Du of the Jade Pot Sect - also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This black-clothed Elder Fu Du certainly had no intention of being as reckless as Yan Chun because he still aspired to become the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect.

Hence, Elder Fu Du opted to disguise himself for this encounter; even if Yun Xiao guessed his identity, without proof, and given his status within the Jade Pot Sect, no one could do anything to him.

After Lu Zhan’s abrupt appearance, Elder Fu Du believed that Xuan Zhi’s plan was doomed to fail. This Third Prince of the Empire was not an opponent Yun Xiao could handle; in his heart, he was already thinking of retreat.

What Elder Fu Du did not expect, however, was that Xuan Zhi had kept some things even from him, such as Yan Chun being from the Xuantie Army of the Xuanyue Empire; Elder Fu Du had been completely unaware.
