Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571: The Highest Realm of Shamelessness

"It’s Yun Xiao, Lord Yun Xiao has arrived!"

Many low-rank cultivators, even from such a distance, couldn’t clearly see the figure standing on the giant flood dragon, but they instinctively cheered aloud.

In such a moment, to be able to ride a flood dragon and dare to shout at You He, there might only be that legendary youth on the Tenglong Continent, a true prodigy.

"He... has finally come!"

Unlike the low-rank cultivators below, Lu Yanji and others in the sky, who were originally anxious, had far higher senses than others, so when they saw Yun Xiao for the first time, they no longer doubted.

For some reason, even Lu Yanji, a strong person at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm and the top rank on the Heavenly List, felt an unusual confidence rising in his heart upon seeing Yun Xiao riding the flood dragon.

Perhaps it’s because Lu Yanji has never seen Yun Xiao fail, even in occasional defeats, he would quickly turn the situation around, the final victory always belonging to this young man.

"Huh? The aura around him seems a bit different from two months ago!"

Lu Yanji, being an advanced soul of the heavenly rank, suddenly sensed some obscure things when the young man got closer, which made the gleam in his eyes extremely intense.

"This is great!"

What Lu Yanji could sense, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu beside him couldn’t sense at all, so they were simply excited that Yun Xiao arrived in time, possibly saving their disciples’ lives.

Perhaps these two gentlemen know even more that this young man in simple clothes never fights battles he can’t win. Since Yun Xiao dares to come to this Stepping Heavenly Stone, he surely has his own confidence.

The one approaching was indeed Yun Xiao. In just one month, he not only refined seventy to eighty percent of the flood dragon pill’s energy but also used it to breakthrough to the true early stage of the Heavenly Realm.

After breaking through to the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, Yun Xiao found that his Ancient Dragon Taming Technique had some special changes, and even his battle methods had improved greatly.

Thus, Yun Xiao, full of confidence, rushed to this Stepping Heavenly Stone, not expecting that before the sun had even set, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He would attempt to strike against Ling Wan, causing a surge of anger deep in his heart.

Regardless of whether it was the Long Xiao Battle God in a past life or Yun Xiao in this life, the hatred with strange spirits runs deep, and there is no room for reconciliation between them.

The disaster that once struck the Tenglong Continent, known as the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, was instigated by this very Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He who had escaped from the Xuanyin Cave.

Therefore, whether from personal emotion or the righteousness of the Tenglong Continent, Yun Xiao could not easily let You He go. Since that is the case, let everything be concluded today.

"You He, I thought given your status, even if you were cunning, you would at least honor your promise. It seems I have overestimated you!"

Yun Xiao arrived through the sky on a demon flood dragon, holding a restrained fury in his eyes, his voice containing a mocking tone that resonated with all human cultivators.

It’s precisely because Yun Xiao arrived in time, otherwise, a moment later they would only see Ling Wan’s corpse. From this point, it’s clear that the words of strange spirits cannot be fully trusted.

"Yun Xiao, you’ve truly made me see you in a new light. I can’t believe you dared to come!"

You He showed no concern for his previous shameless actions, his unseen gaze fixed intently on Yun Xiao, but his sensing of the young man’s meridian qi was rather vague.

"Now that I’m here, can you release my friends?"

Knowing there was no reasoning with these abhorrent strange spirits, Yun Xiao directly pointed towards Liu Hanyi and the other two, after all, the other side had hostages, and if a fight broke out, he would be overly cautious.

"Heh heh, no rush!"

However, just as Yun Xiao finished speaking, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He let out a light chuckle, causing Yun Xiao’s expression to change dramatically.

"You He, Yun Xiao has arrived as promised, and yet you still refuse to release them?"

This time it wasn’t Yun Xiao who shouted angrily, but instead the Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall, Xue Tianao. Known for his hatred of evil and straightforward conduct, he disapproved of You He’s behavior.

"Indeed, this is too untrustworthy!"

With Xue Tianao’s reprimand echoed, many low-rank cultivators below clamorously agreed, yet such human uproar barely mattered to the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He.

"Yun Xiao, aren’t you reputed for your array formation technique? How about breaking this Sky-covering Water Formation of mine?"

Ignoring the accusations from many human cultivators, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He spoke with an insinuation, causing the expressions of Lu Yanji, Xue Tianao, and others to change slightly.

"Yun Xiao, that is a Heavenly Rank Advanced large array, and it has the continuous supply of water attribute power from Chongxiao River. Even Yunfan Island Master and many other Heavenly Rank Array Masters together could not break it!"

Hearing You He’s words, Lu Yanji directly flew to Yun Xiao’s side and briefly recounted the previous events, aiming to make Yun Xiao understand that the so-called Sky-covering Water Formation was not an ordinary formation.

Even though Lu Yanji admired Yun Xiao, he was not an Array Master and believed Yun Xiao’s skill in arrays might not necessarily be stronger than the Intermediate Heavenly Rank Array Master Li Yunfan.

Moreover, previously, Li Yunfan was not alone in attempting to break the array, with the combined strength of numerous Heavenly Rank Low Level Array Masters still powerless against the Sky-covering Water Formation.

Lu Yanji had reason to believe that You He set up his formations here, intending to harness the power of the Chongxiao River water. Under such conditions, even if an Advanced Heavenly Rank Array Master really came, they might not be able to forcibly break this formidable array.

"No matter!"

However, Yun Xiao merely nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to the Stepping Heavenly Stone, implying meaningfully, "It seems you have always been uneasy about the past when I broke the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array!"

Yun Xiao was not mistaken. During the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield years ago, Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He, using the islands in the sea and the cities of the Eastern Domain as array points, along with the twelve major array points on Impermanence Island, attempted to devour countless human qi and blood, restore to peak state, and even further.

Unfortunately, such a large array was eventually broken by Yun Xiao with many Array Masters, causing You He’s plans to fail and almost resulted in his death from the Power of Twelve Stars.

This has always been a thorn in You He’s heart; since the Battle of Impermanence Island, he has constantly wanted to recover lost ground, but has never been able to achieve it.

This time, You He set a three-month period, luring Yun Xiao here, with one intention to compete with Yun Xiao again in the art of arrays.

Since he first laid out the large array, and the energy of Chongxiao River was continuously generated, You He believed this time he was undefeated; for this young human to break the array was simply impossible.

"Hmph, Yun Xiao, I must tell you, if you cannot break this Sky-covering Water Formation before the sun sets, I will also kill!"

Being directly pointed out by Yun Xiao, You He knew that in terms of eloquence, even ten of himself might not be this young human’s match, so he directly snorted coldly, then pointed towards the three hostages over there.

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Brazen!"

"Utterly untrustworthy!"

"..."

With You He’s cold snort, human cultivators immediately burst into curses. They never imagined how this dignified Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit could be so shameless!

Previously, they received the news that if Yun Xiao could reach the Stepping Heavenly Stone in time, Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He would fight Yun Xiao fairly and honorably release Liu Hanyi and the other two.

Now it seemed, these human cultivators indeed underestimated the shamelessness of Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit. However, on second thought, reasoning with a Strange Spirit was inherently an unreasonable act.

Lu Yanji and Xue Tianao didn’t curse out loud, knowing that cursing could never even harm a hair of You He. The only thing to do now was possibly breaking the array.

But that Sky-covering Water Formation was a Heavenly Rank Advanced array. Even Li Yunfan and many other Heavenly Rank Array Masters together were powerless against it. How could Yun Xiao alone truly break the formation?

"Ha, such a mere Heavenly Rank Advanced Sky-covering Water Formation, and you dare put it on display to be ridiculed?"

Just when everyone thought Yun Xiao was helpless, the rough-clothed young man unexpectedly let out a light laugh from his mouth, his voice containing a hint of undisguised mockery.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked!

Even cultivators familiar with Yun Xiao, like Sky Thunder Valley’s Valley Master Duan Zixiao or Zhao Family Patriarch Zhao Gujin, showed disdainful expressions, thinking this young man might be overly confident.

Though these figures originally had conflicts with Yun Xiao, naturally not wishing to see Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He flaunting, but neither did they wish to see Yun Xiao truly gain glory.

If they could cut off Yun Xiao’s support today and let this young man die by Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He’s hand, it would indeed be a joyful event for Duan Zixiao and Zhao Gujin.

Only these masters of first-class forces did not know Yun Xiao’s abilities; what he just said was neither arrogant nor baseless, but truly held absolute confidence.

Yun Xiao was the reincarnation of Long Xiao Battle God. Though in his prior life the art of arrays wasn’t as proficient as his Meridian Refining Technique, he was indeed a genuine Holy Rank Advanced Array Master.

Now Yun Xiao had broken through to Heavenly Realm Early Stage, meaning his array technique also reached Heavenly Rank Advanced. Based on what he knew, merely breaking a Heavenly Rank Advanced array like the Sky-covering Water Formation on Tenglong Continent should pose no difficulty at all.
