Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

At the start of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, Liu Hanyi was only at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, ultimately defeated by the wielder of Golden Blade, the Strange Spirit Jin Wuli. However, by misfortune turned fortunate, she initially controlled her own Immortal Poison Body and broke through to the Peak of Meridian Union Realm.

But to break through from the Peak of Meridian Union Realm to the level of Spirit Vein Realm was not so easy; the gap between these two major realms was also extremely large.

Therefore, upon sensing the massive force striking towards her, likely from a Spirit Vein Realm powerhouse, Liu Hanyi did not choose to take it head-on but instead dodged away in time.

Whoosh!

Liu Hanyi, who had nimbly dodged, felt a strong force sweep past the spot where she had just stood, feeling very fortunate that she had made this wise decision on time.

"Yan Shi?"

As Liu Hanyi turned her head, catching her breath heavily, she recognized at first glance the figure who had ambushed her. She had seen him once before, during Xuan Haoran’s birthday banquet.

At that time, the Yan brothers got scolded by Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding for letting "the thief who stole the treasure" Yun Xiao escape, so Liu Hanyi had some impression of them.

Only back then, Yan Shi was also in the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, not much stronger than Liu Hanyi herself. Who would have known that after just over a year of not seeing him, this guy had actually broken through to the Early Stage of Spirit Vein Realm.

"The little girl’s reflexes are indeed not bad!"

Yan Shi, whose strike had missed, had a flash of sharp light in his eyes and simultaneously felt something stirring inside him. Suddenly, he felt a tinge of envy for those young geniuses with amazing talents.

After all, for Yan Shi to break through to the Spirit Vein Realm in such a short time, he had paid a very heavy price—making his future cultivation path much more difficult.
