Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1056: Gathering of Geniuses

Two days' time is not enough to fully heal Ling Wan's injuries. However, as he possesses the Mixed Element One Qi Body constitution, upon sensing he's fine, Yun Xiao agreed to his request to enter Xuanyin Cave.

On that day, Yun Xiao, although angry at Chen Zhiheng and others for oppressing Ling Wan, knew that a cultivator under pressure would undoubtedly gain more benefits, such as entering Xuanyin Cave.

Evidently, Yun Xiao viewed this trip to Xuanyin Cave as a training session. For both himself, Ling Wan, and even Xu Hongzhuang, there might be insights and breakthroughs in realm during life-and-death battles.

Ling Wan was naturally more familiar with Xuanyin Hall. Having already learned the location of Xuanyin Cave a few days earlier, he led Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang towards Xuanyin Cave early in the morning.

The headquarters of Xuanyin Hall, nominally located in the North City of Extreme Yin City, is actually in a rather special geographic position. Its headquarters extends not only within Extreme Yin City but stretches into the mountains beyond the North City, connecting the interior and exterior of the city into one.

Xuanyin Cave is situated in the direct north of Xuanyin Hall headquarters. It is uncertain if the name Xuanyin Hall, like that of Jade Pot Sect, originated due to Xuanyin Cave. Yun Xiao clearly didn't want to delve into this matter much.

When Yun Xiao and the others arrived at a certain clearing deep in the headquarters of Xuanyin Hall, they discovered many figures already gathered there. These figures appeared quite young, and some of their appearances were somewhat familiar to Yun Xiao.

Although Xuanyin Cave's rules allow cultivators under a hundred years old to enter, since this event was organized by Hall Master Xue Tianao to find a match for his precious daughter, those old folks naturally won't cause a stir.

Hence, most of the arrivals were young talents with some reputation on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

For example, Su Jian of Spirit Fighting Commerce, Wuyan Tongmo Long Xiwawa from Wuyan Palace, Duan Wuya from Fire Tower, Ji Sanjian from Killing Heart Sect, etc., were all renowned talents on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Among them, Xu Hongzhuang and Ye Suxin seemed a bit out of place since most were there for matchmaking. Why were these two women causing a commotion?

Relatively speaking, Ye Suxin's reputation, known as Su Shou Yanluo of the Killing Heart Sect, was certainly greater than Xu Hongzhuang, who had only joined Demons Mountain for a year. Therefore, most of the attention was focused on Ye Suxin.

"Eh? They're here too!"

When Yun Xiao, led by Ling Wan, arrived at the clearing, he noticed a few acquaintances. Those few also noticed Yun Xiao and, led by a certain young man in a green robe, came over towards them.

"Brother Yun Xiao, I didn't expect you'd arrive early!"

The visitor was none other than Ye Ku, the top talent of Lianyun Mountain Sky Poison Institute. After receiving the news from Xuanyin Hall, Yun Xiao, for some unknown reason, left Lianyun Mountain, leading Ye Ku to believe he wouldn't meet Yun Xiao at Xuanyin Hall, yet they still met here.

Since the annual competition between Refining Treasure Hall and Lianyun Mountain, Ye Ku's admiration for this young man who joined Lianyun Mountain not long ago had grown.

Plus, given his teacher Qingmu Wu's attitude towards Yun Xiao, inadvertently shown, Ye Ku no longer held the high-and-mighty status of Sky Poison Institute's top talent.

Especially not long ago, during the annual competition at Lianyun Mountain, Yun Xiao's live kill of Bai Wushuang on the stage made Ye Ku almost lose the heart to compete with Yun Xiao for first place, finally conceding the championship to Yun Xiao, who truly deserved it.

"Brother Ye Ku, Brother Si Mo!

Yun Xiao had no aversion to these two. Although both were Poison Vein Masters, they were undoubtedly better than hypocrites like Bai Wushuang and Liu Qingchen.

Those who came from Lianyun Mountain were naturally not just those two, but Yun Xiao hadn't interacted much with the other talents, so he merely nodded in acknowledgment.

It's worth mentioning that because Yun Xiao killed Bai Wushuang and crippled Liu Qingchen, those who came to Xuanyin Hall this time were predominantly from the Sky Poison Institute. The two talents from the Heavenly Hospital looked somewhat apprehensive at Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao naturally didn't intend to settle accounts with these people. Moreover, Medical Pulse Masters are generally compassionate; people like Bai Wushuang and Liu Qingchen are, after all, in the minority.

"Haha, Brother Yun Xiao, your situation seems a bit tricky!"

Si Mo and Yun Xiao were old acquaintances, and at this time, he made a small joke, thinking that after arriving at Extreme Yin City, he too had heard those rumors about Yun Xiao and the young lady of Xuanyin Hall.

"Just some clowns, no need to mind them!"

Yun Xiao, of course, understood what Si Mo meant. He glanced at certain figures and spoke words that made Si Mo and the others agree greatly.

Joking aside, this was a person who could even kill Bai Wushuang, a half-step Earth Realm cultivator, a ruthless individual who could practically walk sideways among the younger generation on the Hidden Dragon Continent. Could those guys possibly be stronger than Bai Wushuang?

"If I haven't guessed wrong, those rumors were likely spread by that fraudulent Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce, right?"

Despite Ye Ku's seemingly ruthless demeanor, his mind turned rather quickly. Moreover, he has always regarded the top talents of major factions as rivals, especially Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce.

According to Ye Ku's understanding of Su Jian, that fellow excelled in stealthy tricks and sowing discord while hitting someone when they're down. This time, the relationship between Yun Xiao and Lady Xue was likely intentionally divulged by Su Jian, aiming to make Yun Xiao the target of all.

"Senior Brother Ye Ku is quite perceptive!"

Upon hearing Ye Ku's deep voice, Yun Xiao's gaze unwittingly shifted to a certain figure, but saw that person also looking over here. The two gazes met and seemed to ignite an invisible spark.

"Junior Brother Yun Xiao, who is this?"

Si Mo finally noticed the red-skirted girl beside Yun Xiao. Secretly envious of his good fortune, he bluntly asked.

With this remark, several geniuses from Lianyun Mountain, including Ye Ku, turned their attention, their expressions turning somewhat strange.

Since earlier they all thought Yun Xiao was either connected to Mo Qing or involved with Liu Hanyi from the Sky Poison Institute, but unexpectedly, another appeared.

It should be known that back in Lianyun Mountain, it was because Bai Wushuang intended to plot against Mo Qing in the Refining Treasure Hall, that Yun Xiao developed a grudge and ended up stabbing Bai Wushuang with a sword on the arena.

This incident showed that Yun Xiao's relationship with Mo Qing was by no means simple. Some even believed the two were a Taoist couple.

Since then, some geniuses from Heavenly Hospital who originally had thoughts on Mo Qing avoided her, recalling Bai Wushuang's previous example vividly in mind.

Even Ye Ku gave up some of his thoughts on Liu Hanyi, not wishing to repeat Bai Wushuang's mistake. Even if his behavior was upright and candid, he didn't want Yun Xiao to misunderstand him.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you all. This is Xu Hongzhuang, who like me, came from the Hidden Dragon Continent, and is now a disciple of Demons Mountain!"

Yun Xiao didn't overthink, introducing Xu Hongzhuang's identity first, then pointed to Ling Wan saying, "This is my good brother Ling Wan, also from Hidden Dragon Continent, and now a disciple of Xuanyin Hall!"

"They're both from Hidden Dragon Continent?"

Upon hearing Yun Xiao's introduction, the geniuses of Lianyun Mountain's expressions slightly changed. Although Xu Hongzhuang and Ling Wan were at Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage and Middle Stage respectively, which appeared unimpressive to Ye Ku and Si Mo, who were peak geniuses of the Origin Seeking Realm, but if added with being from Hidden Dragon Continent, it was quite astonishing.

Even though Ye Ku and the others had never visited Hidden Dragon Continent, they clearly knew that on such a lower plane, Heaven and Earth energy or cultivation resources couldn't possibly compare to Tenglong Continent.

It's already shocking enough for someone as demonic as Yun Xiao to emerge, who would've thought each companion around him possessed such extraordinary talents. Given time, surpassing the seasoned geniuses of Tenglong Continent wouldn't be impossible.

"Greetings, senior brothers!"

After Yun Xiao's introduction, Xu Hongzhuang and Ling Wan didn't dare to neglect, aware these were top geniuses of Lianyun Mountain. Bowing with hand gestures in respect, Ye Ku and others reciprocated the salute in return without any slightness.

"Eh? My senior brothers from Demons Mountain are also here!"

Just as Xu Hongzhuang's voice fell, her peripheral vision suddenly glimpsed several figures. Her face showed a trace of a smile while she grabbed Yun Xiao's arm and headed in that direction.

Upon seeing Xu Hongzhuang's actions, Ye Ku and others became more certain her relationship with Yun Xiao was not simple. As for those few from Demons Mountain, they also had some impressions of them but did not follow along.

"Senior Brother Fusheng!"

Xu Hongzhuang's voice preceded her arrival, attracting the attention of several figures engaged in conversation. When they turned their heads to see it was Xu Hongzhuang, their expressions varied.

"Junior Sister Hongzhuang?"

The leading figure appeared rather stocky, with a faint special aura surrounding him. Yun Xiao instantly sensed that this person was likely a formidable Meridian Refining Master.

Moreover, these individuals all hailed from Demons Mountain and were likely those rare Beast Vein Masters, although none of them seemed to have their demon pets with them, probably due to the rules of Xuanyin Hall for this entry into Xuanyin Cave.

"Yun Xiao, let me introduce you to my senior brother Luo Fusheng from Demons Mountain, who took good care of me there!"

Xu Hongzhuang disregarded the expressions of Demons Mountain geniuses, introducing the senior brother named Luo Fusheng without hesitation. Yet she still held Yun Xiao's sleeve, a scene reflecting in Luo Fusheng's eyes, causing him to flash a hint of perceptiveness. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Yun Xiao? Are you Yun Xiao?"

At this moment, Luo Fusheng appeared to realize the implication of Xu Hongzhuang's words and squinted his eyes, visibly shining with a trace of dangerous light.
