Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The magic of the Dragon Taming Sword is beyond what the cultivators of the Hidden Dragon Continent could ever imagine, and with Yun Xiao's current cultivation, he has reached the point where he can control the Dragon Taming Sword as easily as moving his own arm.

"Stop him! Stop him for me!"

For some unknown reason, as Yun Xiao drew closer to the stone platform, the unease in Li Feng's heart grew stronger. At this moment, he didn't even care about the death of the cultivator from the Spirit Vein Realm, but just roared loudly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

However, as streaks of black light flashed by, in the midst of Li Feng's roars, several Qingshan Sect cultivators who wanted to pounce again were pierced through the chest by the Dragon Taming Sword just like the first to fall.

Such overwhelming might caused the remaining Qingshan Sect cultivators to freeze in unison; after all, no one's life comes out of nowhere, and knowing that to go up is to court death, who would be so foolish?

At this time, many of the Qingshan Sect's disciple cultivators began to resent Li Feng. What kind of being had the Sect Leader provoked? With just one man and one sword, he could probably turn the Qingshan Sect into a river of blood, couldn't he?

What these Qingshan Sect cultivators and disciples didn't know was that Yun Xiao was actually just barely holding on at this moment. To control the Dragon Taming Sword from outside his body required more Meridian Qi than he had anticipated.

If those remaining Qingshan Sect cultivators had a little more courage and rushed him together, perhaps he wouldn't even have had a chance to get close to the stone platform.

But now, the Qingshan Sect experts, whose courage had been shattered, could only watch helplessly as Yun Xiao stepped onto the platform one step at a time and finally stood erect at the scene.

"It really is the Array Core of the Nine Palace Mountain Formation!"

The moment he stepped onto the stone platform, a smile appeared on Yun Xiao's face because he knew he had bet correctly. As the Long Xiao Battle God of the previous life, when he stood atop the Array Core, the Mountain Protection Array of the Qingshan Sect had no secrets from him.

Whoosh...

A powerful aura suddenly burst forth from Yun Xiao's body, and then from the cracks that opened beneath his feet, a thin yellow line abruptly shot out and entered his body.

Bang!

With this special power entering his body, Yun Xiao suddenly seemed to possess some overwhelmingly powerful thing, and with a forceful push of his hands, he actually hurled the mountain peak, heavy as hundreds of thousands of tons, outwards.

It is worth mentioning that the seemingly heavy mountain peak, when it hit the ground and made a loud noise, instantly turned into invisible energy, dissipating into the air.

Such a scene, in the eyes of many cultivators of the Qingshan Sect, was thought-provoking, but in the next moment, including Qingshan Sect's Sect Leader Li Feng, everyone's faces dramatically changed.

You could see that beneath Yun Xiao's feet, besides the yellow line from before, seven more thin yellow lines had immediately appeared, totaling eight lines—a picture identical to when Li Feng had been controlling the large array.

"No, it's not possible, how could he, at his age, possibly know how to control the Nine Palace Mountain Formation?"

Li Feng, pinned down by Chi Yan, watched Yun Xiao with eyes filled with disbelief, because this was far beyond his understanding. How had the young man from the Jade Pot Sect managed to do this?

You have to know that the Nine Palace Mountain Formation was created by the founding ancestor of the Jade Pot Sect, and it has always been passed down through a single lineage. Without sitting in the position of Sect Leader of the Qingshan Sect, one wouldn't even be qualified to know the name of this large array.

All these years, Li Feng, carefully guarding his secret, even someone as powerful within the Qingshan Sect as Elder Yang Lin only knew of the existence of such a large array—that was all. What the array was called and what powers it had, no one knew except for Li Feng.

But now, a youth from the Jade Pot Sect, a mere sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy, was able to take control of the Nine Palace Mountain Formation the instant he stepped on the Array Core position. How inconceivable was that?

There must have been a moment when Li Feng regretted meddling with the Jade Pot Sect, provoking Yun Xiao, as otherwise, the Qingshan Sect would not have come to such dire straits.

But now it's too late for any regrets. Li Feng knew that with Yun Xiao's current strength, if he truly could control the Nine Palace Mountain Formation, then the entire Qingshan Sect was likely under his control.

As the Sect Leader of the Qingshan Sect, how could Li Feng not know the potency of the Nine Palace Mountain Formation? Not to mention that Yun Xiao could now control the formation to let that Seventh-Rank Vein Demon in, just with the control of the large array, he could exterminate all the cultivators of the entire Qingshan Sect.

Li Feng's guess was not wrong. Once Yun Xiao took control of the Array Core, a three-dimensional image suddenly emerged in his mind, including the powerful members of the Jade Pot Sect at the other Qingshan Eight Peaks.

"Power of the Nine Palaces, at my command, condense!"

A deep voice came from Yun Xiao's mouth. Following his call, the people on the Qingshan Main Peak all felt a sense of oppression, as if the energy of the entire sky could crush them at any moment.

"Chi Yan, step back!"

Now in control of the entire formation, Yun Xiao's voice seemed imbued with undisguised authority. As his command echoed, Chi Yan shrank to the size of a palm, but those small eyes were still fixed on Li Feng, the Sect Leader of the Qingshan Sect, with an unyielding glare.

"Sect Master Li Feng, at this juncture, are you still struggling in the throes of death?"

Atop the high platform, Yun Xiao stood like a deity from the ninth heaven, his shout filled with divine might causing all the cultivators of Qingshan Sect to dare not even let out a breath, fearful that any moment might bring upon them a fatal disaster.

"No, I refuse to accept this, this is the Sect Protection Array of our Qingshan Sect, I just can't believe that you can truly control it!"

Little did anyone expect that just as everyone from the Qingshan Sect thought Sect Leader would compromise, Li Feng, as if driven mad, roared out and in the next moment, charged furiously straight towards Yun Xiao.

As the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, Li Feng truly could not accept this moment of defeat because he knew that once he failed, the enormous Qingshan Sect would certainly crumble as swiftly as the three great families of the Imperial City had, utterly and completely.

The legacy of hundreds of years could not end in his hands, that was Li Feng's sole thought at the moment, driving him to the brink of insanity, completely forgetting the power of this Sect Protection Array.

Perhaps, just as Li Feng had said, he harbored that slim hope – maybe all that had happened was a ruse staged by Yun Xiao, and that youth couldn't possibly have truly gained control over the Nine Palace Mountain Formation.

"Obstinate fool!"

Hearing the roaring from Li Feng and seeing the actions of this Sect Master of Qingshan, Yun Xiao couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, his right foot lightly tapped the ground, and then a surge of power began to gather in the sky before him.

Boom!

A peak that seemed somewhat illusory instantaneously condensed, just like the one Li Feng used in his earlier attack on Yun Xiao, bearing down on the Sect Master of Qingshan with an imposing momentum.

It's worth mentioning that the mountain peak Yun Xiao was now controlling and condensing was slightly different from the one Li Feng had previously, that is in the extreme weight it contained.

Having imparted the details of the large array to the cultivators of the Jade Pot Sect, Yun Xiao now handled the Nine Palace Mountain Formation with ease, his control even surpassing Li Feng's by a few shades, thanks to memories from his previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God.

As the mountain peak descended, Li Feng felt as if his entire spine was about to shatter under the extreme weight; even as a cultivator at the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, he could barely withstand it.

"No, no, this is impossible!"

This was not the first time such a thought had crossed Li Feng's mind, yet every time Yun Xiao would create a possible out of the impossible, leaving him utterly disheartened.

Bang!

As everyone was staring at Li Feng, his face filled with resentment, another mini peak appeared out of thin air and bore down forcefully, this time even pressing Li Feng's feet into the stone ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, three peaks descended from the sky, and then, everyone saw the Sect Master of Qingshan being pressed down into invisibility.

"The Sect Master is dead!"

A sensation known as desolation rose within the hearts of countless Qingshan Sect cultivators, understanding that even if Li Feng had a body of steel and iron, under such gravitational force, he would likely end up as nothing but a pile of flesh.

At this moment, everyone began to worry about their own future. There was a time when Qingshan Sect, although slightly inferior to Jade Pot Sect, could always stand on an equal footing without being overshadowed.

Especially that one time, after allying with the Royal Family and the three major families of the Imperial City, they came close to annihilating Jade Pot Sect, only to fall short eventually due to the intervention of the Heavenly Rank Expert, Shen Xingmou.

But these powerful figures and disciples of Qingshan Sect never imagined that a single powerfully returned youth could cause the complete obliteration of Qingshan Sect even with the Sect Protection Array activated.

Now that Li Feng is dead and the eight Great Elders who were defending the Eight Peaks seemed to have a slim chance of survival, the remaining cultivators were no more than trifling matters, who could be turned into nothing but a pile of mush by a mere thought from Yun Xiao.

A sense of despair spread among the many cultivators of Qingshan Sect, not knowing what their future held; whether the youth from Jade Pot Sect would spare their lives or turn the Qingshan Main Peak into a mountain piled with corpses.

"You, will you still resist?"

With Li Feng crushed into mincemeat, Yun Xiao turned his head; his voice contained no trace of emotion, making all the cultivators from Qingshan Sect tremble violently, as if they were ants destined to have their fates pronounced.

At this moment, whether it was the powerful experts of the Spirit Vein Realm or those disciples below the Meridian Union Realm, all from Qingshan Sect dare not even breathe too loudly, lest their slightest movement draw the attention of Yun Xiao.

At this juncture, no one dared to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance, as the consequences were glaringly clear – death, and that youth standing atop the high platform was the divine being holding sway over their lives.

With one word he could grant life, with another take it, Yun Xiao now held such power of life and death, and with a mere thought, he could snatch away the life of any Qingshan Sect cultivator. It was just that looking down at the many cultivators of Qingshan Sect, he suddenly felt somewhat less interested.
