Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

At this point, Yun Xiao finally had to intervene, abruptly changing the topic. This rough transition made those around him glance sideways, while someone harbored a quiet disappointment.

”Little sister Mo Qing, there’s only so much this senior sister can do to help you!”

However, Liu Hanyi didn’t want to drop the topic; after her words, Yun Xiao simply turned his head away, refusing to participate in the conversation, while Mo Qing’s face turned an even deeper shade of red, possibly affecting her Pure Yang Immortal Body.

”Alright, let’s watch the match, watch the match!”

Seeing Mo Qing about to become enraged with embarrassment, Liu Hanyi quickly pointed at the two people on the stage, yet her beautiful eyes shifted to Yun Xiao who was intently watching the fighters.

”It seems this guy really has no romantic interest in Sister Mo Qing!”

Liu Hanyi thought to herself, while at this time the battle on the stage had already commenced, Xu Hongzhuang’s opponent came from an Empire with considerable national strength and had reached the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm.

However, merely after a dozen moves, Xu Hongzhuang’s fingers paused dangerously close to the talented opponent’s throat, resulting in her easy victory in the end.

”Hey, it looks like our sister-in-law’s strength is no less than that androgynous person!”

Seeing Xu Hongzhuang win, Ling Wan cheered, but his unchanged nickname caused the two women beside him to look displeased, yet they didn’t point it out at this moment.

”Indeed impressive!”

Even Yun Xiao nodded this time. In fact, there was no grudge between him and Xu Hongzhuang; on the contrary, his fondness grew from the many helps by Xu Hongzhuang, who used the alias Xiaolan.

Moreover, Yun Xiao knew about the things Lingyun Sect had done to the Shang Family in the past which Xu Hongzhuang was unaware of, but because of her relationship with Xu Lingsong, their relationship had no future.

From this perspective, Xu Hongzhuang was indeed a pitiable person, suffering undeserved calamities and bearing them for others – Yun Xiao was acutely aware of that fact.

However, setting aside their complex and entangled relations, Xu Hongzhuang’s strength was still enormously formidable. Ling Wan was not wrong in his comment; even compared to Young Master Flying Flower, Ye Shimei, Xu Hongzhuang was not a bit inferior.

In such comparisons, Xu Hongzhuang was indeed one of the leading young geniuses in the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, potentially a strong contender for the champion at this session of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

On the stage, the easily victorious Xu Hongzhuang didn’t pay attention to the dejected loser stepping down, but her gaze turned to a certain rough-dressed young man.

Xu Hongzhuang merely took a deep look at Yun Xiao, without uttering a word, but the eyes conveyed more than thousands of words, evoking complex feelings in Yun Xiao’s mind.

The subsequent battle, however, drew everyone’s attention again, for it was the leading disciple of the Yufeng Empire’s Yufeng Sect, Shen Wannian!

This person was touted as the most highly anticipated champion of this session’s Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, and Shen Wannian’s performance in this battle did justice to his grand reputation.

Just three moves were enough for Shen Wannian to knock his opponent off the stage, unable to get up again – such strength and ruthless nature made other competitors secretly hope they’d only encounter this formidable genius in the final battle.

It’s worth mentioning that after his victory, Shen Wannian, like Xu Hongzhuang, gave Yun Xiao a deep look, albeit with a vastly different implication.

As time passed, three more battles were swiftly concluded, and the outcomes had extraordinary significance for Yun Xiao, Ling Wan, and even the entire Xuanyue Empire.

Out of these three battles, two were fought by Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing respectively, who, after fierce fights, both stunningly beautiful genius women, against all odds, won against their opponents and entered the top eight.

Celebrations erupted from Jade Pot Sect and Luoyi Sect to which the two women belonged, but even these victories didn’t stir as much sensation as another battle.

This one featured one of the protagonists, the Crown Prince of Xuanyue Empire, Xuan Jiuding, whose fame surpassed that of any Sects or Elders in Xuanyue Empire.
