Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Who exactly are you people?"

The Guard Captain of the Emperor Palace, who had been silent for a long time, finally came to his senses the next moment. He took a deep breath and asked, not as arrogantly as before.

"We are the ones who will destroy the Ye City Emperor Palace!"

Yun Xiao spoke expressionlessly, and this one sentence made everyone gasp. Even though they had guessed at this outcome, they never dared to think deeply about it.

After all, since the Emperor Canglong Palace established the Emperor Palace, there had never been a case of an Emperor Palace in any city being destroyed. That would be akin to provoking the Emperor Canglong Palace.

The Emperor Palace is the face of the Emperor Canglong Palace in the major cities of Dragon Cloud. If you dare to destroy an Emperor Palace, it’s a slap in the face to the Emperor Canglong Palace. Can you still find a place in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud?

Perhaps some sect remnants exterminated by the Emperor Palace have always harbored intentions of revenge, but it is impossible for them to speak openly of destroying an Emperor Palace.

"Hmph, wanting to destroy my Emperor Palace, what audacity!"

Just as the Guard Captain was struck silent with shock, a majestic voice suddenly echoed from within the Emperor Palace’s main hall, and two tall and burly figures appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"The Great Elder and Second Elder have arrived. Finally, someone who can take charge is here!"

Upon seeing the tall figure and the elderly figure following behind, the Guard Captain of the Emperor Palace was overjoyed, feeling that his support had finally arrived.

It is known that Chunyu Qing, the Great Elder of the Ye City Emperor Palace, is a genuine middle-stage cultivator of the Heavenly Realm. Although the Second Elder Gu Yan’s cultivation is slightly inferior, he has also reached the early stage of the Heavenly Realm.

Setting aside the Heavenly Realm late-stage Chief Liu Wenzong, just these two alone are enough to sweep through the entire Ye City Cultivation World. Their power has long been entrenched in the hearts of Ye City cultivators.

"Great Elder, this peasant boy dared to destroy the Empress Statue, it is simply outrageous!"

Seeing that his backup had arrived, the Guard Captain, who was somewhat speechless earlier, quickly rushed to the Great Elder Chunyu Qing’s side and opened his mouth to complain.

However, Yun Xiao did not react to this. He had long sensed that the so-called big figures over there were only at the early middle stage of the Heavenly Realm, so how could he take them seriously?

Anyway, today, all cultivators above the Heavenly Rank in this Emperor Palace will die. Letting these guys live a little longer doesn’t matter; it won’t change any outcome.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing the Guard Captain’s words, Great Elder Chunyu Qing’s old eyes immediately flashed with anger. He came out because he heard Yun Xiao’s provocative voice but was not aware of what had happened outside.

It wasn’t until this moment with the Guard Captain’s reminder that Chunyu Qing finally noticed the Empress Statue outside the hall had disappeared, leaving only two piles of rubble, still bearing traces of its once eminent form.

To be honest, at the moment of seeing the Empress Statue destroyed, the two Elders of the Emperor Palace both trembled. They knew the gravity of the situation and thought that if today’s matter was not handled well, Ye City Emperor Palace might suffer severe consequences.

"Boy, I must say, you have the biggest guts I’ve ever seen!"

Gu Yan, the Second Elder of the Ye City Emperor Palace, had a fiery temper. He let out a low shout, and rich Meridian Qi erupted from him. His early stage of the Heavenly Realm cultivation was quite imposing.

"Second Elder, remember to leave him alive. Such audacity certainly has a master behind it. We must wait for Lord Supervisor to return to make a decision!"

Seeing Gu Yan about to make a move, Great Elder Chunyu Qing automatically stepped back, speaking in a low voice. He was very confident in this Second Elder of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm.

After all, the peasant boy looked too young. Although Chunyu Qing couldn’t sense Yun Xiao’s true cultivation level, at such a young age, how far could he have refined his Meridian Qi?

Especially after sensing Xu Qingshan’s cultivation was only at the Lingyun Realm Early Stage, Chunyu Qing, though somewhat impressed, felt completely at ease.

It’s said that birds of a feather flock together. A companion who is a kid at the Lingyun Realm Early Stage is probably at most the same.

Such cultivation, though outstanding among the younger generation, is not much in the eyes of them, the strong in the Heavenly Realm. He believed the Second Elder would undoubtedly succeed easily.

"Rest assured, Great Elder, I will first destroy his Dantian, then break his arms and legs, making him pay the price for his actions today!"

Gu Yan, originally an exceptionally irritable person, wore a sinister smile on his face but did not notice the mocking smile on a certain youth’s face after his words.

The youth with the smiling face was, of course, Xu Qingshan. If there was anyone present who truly understood Yun Xiao’s strength, it was undoubtedly him.

Although Xu Qingshan didn’t know the true cultivation level of Yun Xiao, with his understanding of this newly acknowledged master, how could he possibly provoke the Ye City Emperor Palace without absolute confidence?

"Boy, you should know there are things that, once done, you must take responsibility for. Remember to think thrice before you act next time... Oh, sorry, I forgot you have no next time!"

This ill-tempered Second Elder of the Emperor Palace, Gu Yan, seemed to be quite eloquent as well. After locking his aura on Yun Xiao, he sneered again, sending chills down the spine of the onlookers.

These Ye City cultivators had long heard of this Second Elder’s extreme ruthlessness, killing entire clans at a whim and often torturing enemies to death rather than delivering a swift kill.

Now the coarse-clothed boy destroyed the Empress statue, which seemed a hundred times more heinous than ordinary grievances. In the eyes of the onlookers, the boy was doomed.

"Actually, what I want to tell you is exactly the same. Since you understand, I don’t need to explain more!"

Yun Xiao’s face remained expressionless. After speaking softly, his figure seemed to move slightly, and then everyone witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.

Bang!

In the next moment, the Second Elder Gu Yan, who was dominant just moments ago, was bent like a cooked shrimp. His body seemed to be struck with a heavy blow and was sent flying backward.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of crimson blood spurted out as Gu Yan was sent flying, indicating he was severely injured. Only then did the boy in coarse clothing reappear in everyone’s sight.

The crowd saw Yun Xiao slowly retracting his right leg. At that moment, the entire square of the Emperor Palace was silent, as if stunned by the sudden scene, not even having seen how it happened.

"Ah! My... my Dantian... my Dantian..."

Amidst the crowd’s shock, a harrowing scream suddenly resounded, clearly coming from the Second Elder Gu Yan.

Hearing Gu Yan’s scream, everyone had a guess and felt something unusual, as it seemed the Second Elder’s Dantian had been shattered by that boy’s kick.

Earlier, Gu Yan was clamoring to cripple the boy’s Dantian, but unexpectedly, it was his own Dantian that ended up destroyed. The affairs of the world are indeed subtle.

"Who would have thought his strength was much greater than the Young Master of the Hidden Blade Sect?"

Compared to those originally in front of the Emperor Palace, the cultivators following from Jade Sword Sect couldn’t help but feel a touch of awe after seeing Yun Xiao’s move.

Previously, at the Jade Sword Sect headquarters, only Xu Qingshan had taken action, and his opponent was just Dong Shu of Lingyun Realm Early Stage.

At that time, Yun Xiao merely watched from below until he mentioned causing trouble for the Emperor Palace, which was the first time anyone heard him speak, and everyone thought he was boasting.

Not until this moment, seeing Gu Yan’s end, did people understand just how powerful the unnamed boy was.

Gu Yan was a bona fide Heavenly Realm Early Stage expert, and yet he was crippled with a single kick, although there might have been some element of surprise. At the very least, he was a Heavenly Realm expert, right?

Such a young Heavenly Realm expert made people extremely curious about the boy’s origins when they thought deeper.

This was a remote area in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Western Region, where many top talents from powerful clans and sects were merely at the Floating Life Realm. Reaching the Lingyun Realm was rare, let alone the Heavenly Realm.

"Could this person be from some great family in the Central Region?"

Some entertained wild thoughts, but these notions were quickly extinguished because of Yun Xiao’s actions at that moment.

Ever since the death of the Long Xiao War God a hundred years ago, and the annihilation of the Four Great Families, almost all families and sects chose to ally with the Emperor Canglong Palace rather than become cautionary tales like the Four Great Families.

Given this, which powerful family would blatantly provoke the Emperor Palace and even destroy the Empress statue, practically declaring war on Emperor Canglong Palace?

No one was foolish. They knew some clan sects above the Nine-layered Dragon were indeed dissatisfied with Emperor Canglong Palace’s actions.

Yet those clans and sects might use covert tricks against Emperor Canglong Palace, but they would never openly offend it, as that could spell catastrophe for their family.

For a moment, there was nothing but speculation about Yun Xiao’s identity inside and outside Emperor Palace square. Meanwhile, the coarse-clothed boy himself paid no attention to these thoughts.

"Qingshan, break his hands and feet!"
