Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Inside Baiyue City.

A stout man with an unremarkable appearance suddenly walked out of a humble inn. The gleam in his eyes, however, made it clear he was no ordinary man.

This person, disguised as a short, middle-aged man, was naturally Yun Xiao. It had been a whole half-month since the chaotic event on the King’s birthday-night.

Throughout this half-month, the inn had been searched countlessly by Royal Guards, yet not once had they discovered Yun Xiao’s whereabouts, thanks to his miraculous Disguise and Shrinkage Technique inherited from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

After such a long period of convalescence, Yun Xiao’s body, which had been ravaged by the Golden Snake Worm that day, had almost fully recovered. Although he had great confidence in his Disguise Technique, he knew he could not stay in Baiyue City for long, as someone might notice something off at any given moment.

No matter how strong the Disguise Technique is, it cannot evade the Power of Soul. If one day a Meridian Refining expert familiar with Yun Xiao’s Soul aura were to appear, he couldn’t assure his identity would remain concealed.

Yun Xiao believed that after half a month of fruitless searching, the people of the Royal Family must have relaxed their vigilance somewhat, and perhaps this could be an opportunity to slip out of the city.

Baiyue City was still bustling with noise. Just as Yun Xiao expected, compared to half a month ago, the street guards were not scrutinizing passersby as strictly.

But Yun Xiao knew that this was a relaxed exterior masking strict control within; if his trace as the Great Thief of the treasure was truly discovered, it’s likely that Meridian Union Realm or even Spirit Vein Realm warriors from the Xuantie Army would spring from somewhere.

All the way through, Yun Xiao trod carefully. No one paid any attention to this inconspicuous short man. However, when he reached the vicinity of the South City Gate, he found a large crowd gathered, pointing and discussing something.
