Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Xuan Jing, what are you doing?”

Yun Xiao quickly helped Xuan Jing up, but in his heart, he had already vaguely guessed a few things, thinking to himself that with the change of leadership in the Xuanyue Imperial Family, there must be some unknown secrets.

Yu Shu’s gaze also became chilling on the side because he believed that if King Haoran were still in power, he would definitely not have taken action against Jade Pot Sect. It seemed like a good opportunity for revenge.

”Brother Yun Xiao, I had no other option!”

Xuan Jing, who was initially agitated, finally steadied his mind, sighed, and then said: ”Ever since my elder brother ascended to the throne as King, my mother and I realized that things were going badly, so we escaped from the palace through a back route we had prepared in advance!”

”But Xuan Jiuding is relentless, searching the entire city. If it weren’t for the extremely concealed place where my mother and I were staying, we might not have been able to wait for Brother Yun Xiao’s arrival!”

Xuan Jing first explained his situation, describing how he and his mother had been fleeing from place to place over the past few days, with none of the dignity befitting the Empress of Xuanyue and a Prince, truly like dogs that have lost their homes.

”According to my knowledge, wasn’t King Haoran supposed to have broken through to the Earth-ranked Qi Seeking Realm? How could he suddenly pass the throne to Xuan Jiuding? Moreover, the latter is someone who couldn’t even break through the Spirit Vein Realm!”

This had been a puzzle for Yun Xiao all along, knowing that the Absolute Spirit Stabilizing Pulse Hand which ruined Xuan Jiuding’s cultivation was done by his own hand, with the intention of cutting off the Crown Prince’s future. However, he couldn’t fathom how Xuan Jiuding eventually still ascended as King.

”This... I’m not too sure either!”

Xuan Jing first shook his head, then with a hateful expression added, ”But I suspect that Xuan Jiuding and his mother must have used some despicable and venomous methods to harm my father. Even that Imperial Decree of succession might have been forged by them.”

”It must be so. Brother Xuan Jing, is there anything I can help with?”

Yun Xiao nodded and spoke, holding a favorable view of the straightforward second Prince of the Royal Family. Besides, Xuan Jiuding had always looked at him unfavorably, and even without the matter of Xuan Jing, he would not have easily let things slide.

Now, Yun Xiao already had the strength to contend with the top powerhouses of the Hidden Dragon Continent. Even if the Royal Family had the Earth-ranked strong Ran Xing to help, on his side, there was also the Seventh Rank Vein Demon, the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion.

As for the other powerhouses of the Royal Family, even if they substantially outnumbered Jade Pot Sect, with Xuan Jing’s relationship this time, there was not necessarily a need to fight those Royal strong ones to death; all that was needed was to expose Xuan Jiuding’s hypocritical nature.

In fact, with Yun Xiao’s current abilities, sneaking into the Imperial Family to quietly assassinate Xuan Jiuding during the night was not impossible. However, compared to assassinating him, maybe knocking him down from the clouds to the bottom of the valley would be a fate worse than death?

The grudge between Yun Xiao and Xuan Jiuding started from the incident with the Dragon Taming Sword, and now it seemed that the punishment of using Absolute Spirit Stabilizing Pulse Hand to ruin his cultivation was too light.

”Brother Yun Xiao, according to the news brought out by my informant from the Imperial Palace, it is very likely that my father is not dead, but he has fallen into a coma and is unable to act autonomously, which allowed Xuan Jiuding and his mother to take control of the situation. I think...”

Xuan Jing finally spoke out his thoughts, but became hesitant when he got to the end, seemingly struggling for words.

”You wish for me to heal your father, and the truth will naturally come out!”

Yun Xiao expressed the words that Xuan Jing left unsaid. However, he slightly frowned, knowing that although this method could solve the problem once and for all, it was fraught with many difficulties.

”Prince Xuan Jing, forgive my bluntness, but with the current relationship between Jade Pot Sect and the Royal Family, it would be difficult for Yun Xiao to even enter the Royal Palace, wouldn’t it?”
