Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Tsk tsk, truly overestimating oneself. You, an old man with merely an intermediate Spiritual Rank in Meridian Refining, how could you resolve such methods?”

With a glimpse of that Meridian Master’s expression from the corner of his eye, a trace of mocking light couldn’t help but flash through Yun Xiao’s eyes. To tell the truth, with the perspective of the Long Xiao Battle God, from the very first glance at Xuan Jing, he had already noticed some clues.

Ever since Li Shan was afflicted with the Seven Evil Poisonous Flame, Yun Xiao had harbored some suspicions towards the Xuanyue Imperial Family, as it was unlikely that any power on the Hidden Dragon Continent could possess such a thing.

Now, seeing Xuan Jing fall into such a coma, and so many middle and high-level Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Masters unable to do anything, Yun Xiao was even more certain that within the Xuanyue Imperial Family, there must be an unknowable expert.

However, since he had not personally touched Xuan Jing’s body, Yun Xiao did not dare to be absolutely certain, but he could at least affirm that the intermediate Spiritual Rank Meridian Master, that Meridian Master, probably couldn’t even find out the reason for Xuan Jing’s coma, let alone cure him.

As expected, about thirty minutes later, that Meridian Master’s face had become extremely ugly, but in the end, he had no choice but to release his grip from Xuan Jing’s wrist.

”I’m sorry, Your Majesty, forgive me for being powerless!”

In the face of reality, no matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, since he couldn’t even diagnose the cause of the illness, what more could he do? Blind treatment could lead to Xuan Jing’s death, and he would be in deep trouble.

Don’t look at the Meridian Master being ruthless; in fact, to be able to sit in the position of a Sect Master, he was very cautious, especially in the presence of one who ruled a whole country; he dared not act recklessly.

”Hmph, I thought Sect Master Yan had some abilities, but it turns out it was nothing after all!”

Hearing Yan’s words, Liu Hanyi finally found an opportunity to speak with derision, and as these words left her mouth, that Meridian Master’s old face turned even more gloomy, as if water was about to drip from it.

However, when his gaze shifted to Yun Xiao, he found some consolation, thinking to himself that this fellow that the Luoyi Sect found from god knows where, may not be able to cure Xuan Jing’s strange illness either.

Just as these two were verbally sparring, several other Spiritual Rank middle and low-level Meridian Refining Masters also stepped forward one by one to examine Xuan Jing’s condition. Of course, without exception, all ended up defeated, just like that Meridian Master.

The faces of King Xuan Haoran and the Empress Dowager changed from initial hope, to disappointment, and finally to despair. Such torment was truly worse than death.

”Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”

As if he could no longer bear such torment, even with Yun Xiao not having made a move, King Xuan Haoran already stood up to speak.

Because in his view, this unremarkable, short and stout man didn’t look to be anything special, and was probably just like everyone else, unlikely to provide any surprises.

”Your Majesty is too kind; it is our incompetence!”

Yan quickly waved his hand. However, the next moment, seeing his eyes shift, he already pointed to a figure and said: ”Your Majesty, this brother just now claimed he could cure all sorts of diseases, and a sickness like the Second Prince’s is but a trifle to him. Why not let us all widen our views?”

The Sect Master’s eyes carried a hint of a sullen smile. Having finally seized this opportunity, how could he not kick a man when he’s down?

Hearing what Yan said, even Liu Hanyi, who always had confidence in Yun Xiao, couldn’t help but feel apprehensive now. This fellow was really putting Yun Xiao on the spot.

If it had been before, Yun Xiao’s failure would have been no different from theirs with Yan, but now the words of Yan had sparked hope in King Xuan Haoran and the Empress Dowager. If Yun Xiao were to fail again, even if the King wouldn’t do anything to Yun Xiao, their impression of him would surely plummet.

Those words just now may not have really been said by Yun Xiao, but at this moment, with them being spoken by Yan, it was as though they were his words. If he couldn’t save Xuan Jing, he would become someone who boasted recklessly and would face disgrace.

”Oh? Is that so?”
