Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1131: You’d Better Fend for Yourself!

"Fists and feet have no eyes; I'm afraid of injuring Brother Tang Gu!"

Yun Xiao shook his head helplessly. With his current cultivation, someone like Tang Gu, in the Early Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, seemed like a child to him; he could crush him with just a little finger.

Even though Tang Gu had not challenged Yun Xiao much due to Lv Xiaoman, the sinister expression and killing intent had long been sensed by Yun Xiao.

Joining this Lv Family team was just a cover for Yun Xiao, but he hadn't expected trouble just because of Lv Xiaoman.

Since he couldn't avoid it, Yun Xiao wouldn't retreat either. At worst, he'd fall out with the Lv Family. Could a family whose strongest member was only in the Late Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm really do anything to him?

"Injure me? Pfft..."

Upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Tang Gu sneered. Then, seemingly putting on a show for someone, he said, "If you can injure me, I, Tang Gu, will follow Star unconditionally. How about that?"

Tang Gu's words were obviously meant to coax the other party into making the same promise. Even if he didn't kill Star right then, he could humiliate him in the future, seeing how this boy kept acting mysterious and deep in front of the junior sister.

Lv Xiaoman, observing the two about to fight over her, couldn't help but feel a hidden sense of pride. Didn't she just love watching men fight to the death over her?

Though it was Tang Gu who started this dispute, Lv Xiaoman still felt that Yun Xiao was also fighting for her. The man who pretended not to care for her was still in her grasp after all.

"Alas, if that's the case, I can only oblige you!"

Seeing the opponent pressing him step by step, Yun Xiao wasn't made of clay. He knew no one would speak for him now, not even the nearby Lv Xiaoman, so he could only sigh and slowly stood up.

"Eh?"

Just as Yun Xiao stood up, his gaze suddenly shifted to a particular direction, and he uttered a surprised sound, which instantly led Tang Gu to misunderstand.

"Boy, are you already thinking of running before the fight?"

Tang Gu proudly glanced at Lv Xiaoman, and his words made a faint contemptuous look appear on her face.

This mysterious fellow called Star who killed the Half-step Origin Seeking Realm expert Wang Gu in Wuchuan City with one move; how come he was so cowardly when facing a true Early Stage Origin Seeking Realm expert?

Originally, Lv Xiaoman had high regard for Yun Xiao, thinking her insight was exceptional, but she hadn't expected him to be so timid, still reducing her interest by half.

Pfft!

Just as Tang Gu and Lv Xiaoman felt contemptuous, a faint sound suddenly came from the outskirts of the Lv Family camp, finally causing Family Head Lv An's puzzled face to turn back.

Though Lv An, the Lv Family Head, was a Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm expert, he wasn't a Meridian Refining Master, so his Power of Soul paled compared to Yun Xiao, sensing something amiss only now.

"Enemy..."

Just as Lv An and many experts turned their heads, a sudden shriek came from another direction, only uttering one word before it stopped abruptly, sounding eerie in the Dark Night.

Bang!

After a few breaths more, a dazzling light rose from the Southeast direction of the Lv Family camp, violently exploding in the sky, vaguely forming a blurry "Lv" character.

"Enemy ambush! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

This left Lv An in no doubt; his face turned somber but not overly worried, as they outnumbered the enemy. Being a Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm expert himself, he believed there weren't many who could destroy the Lv Family in the Yanji Mountain Range.

This turn of events left Tang Gu, who was determined to cause Yun Xiao trouble, with an awkward feeling. However, he knew all internal disputes should be set aside for confronting the external enemy.

Tang Gu's only worry was that in the ensuing chaos, this Star fellow might die, losing the chance for future humiliation.

Bam!

As Lv An shouted, and numerous cultivators stood vigilantly, a shadow streaked across the sky, finally crashing heavily onto a bonfire, sending sparks flying, exuding a shocking force.

"It's one of ours!"

The Lv Family Great Elder, sharp-eyed, immediately recognized the person as a Lv Family recruited Early Stage Origin Seeking Realm cultivator, now unmoving, with dissipating energy, clearly dead.

"Where did this rat come from, daring to provoke the Lv Family? Are you tired of living?"

Seeing the somewhat familiar cultivator, Lv An's face grew more somber, and his gloomy shout echoed throughout the entire camp, clearly audible for miles around.

"Hahaha, Lv An, it's only been a few days. Don't you recognize an old friend?"

Just as Lv An's voice fell, a hearty laugh came from the east, causing his expression to change slightly, as he was not too unfamiliar with this voice.

"Pan Lianhu!"

This name was almost squeezed out from between Lv An's teeth. How could he not recognize the Manor Master of Tiger Roar Manor, a tyrant of Wuchuan City just like himself?

But the Tiger Roar Manor was previously on par with the Lv Family or even somewhat weaker. Lv An had never truly regarded Pan Lianhu as a threat. Now that the latter dared to bring trouble to Yanji Mountain, a trace of unease quietly began to rise in his heart.

"It really is those Tiger Roar Manor guys!"

Beside Yun Xiao, Tang Gu's face also didn't look good. It seemed he too had recognized the leader approaching the Lv Family camp; as a talented member of the Lv Family, he had certainly faced off against cultivators from Tiger Roar Manor before.

"Tiger Roar Manor?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Yun Xiao showed no concern. Being a power that could rival the Lv Family in Wuchuan City, it couldn't be that strong.

In Yun Xiao's view, if they really had an expert at the Earth Concealing stage, they would've long since eliminated the Lv Family and dominated Wuchuan City. Why resort to fighting?

Moreover, although Tang Gu's face was gloomy, his tone didn't carry much dread, which said a lot.

"Kid, when the melee starts, no one will look out for you. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Having some thoughts of his own, Tang Gu suddenly turned his head, saying to Yun Xiao, indicating that he couldn't forget Yun Xiao's earlier closeness with Lv Xiaoman.

"Don't worry, those later stage Origin Seeking experts will be handled by my father and the elders. As for the rest of the small fry, they won't be able to harm you with me around!"

Lv Xiaoman seemed determined to oppose Tang Gu, and her words made Tang Gu's jealousy grow even more intense, deepening his killing intent toward Yun Xiao.

To this, Yun Xiao remained indifferent, thinking that if those Tiger Roar Manor guys didn't provoke him, it would be fine. But if they did, he wouldn't hold back.

However, Yun Xiao knew that once he made a move, the Lv Family camp might not tolerate him anymore. As for what Tang Gu and Lv Xiaoman would think then, he didn't care at all.

"Pan Lianhu, Ren Qian, you've gotten quite bold!"

When Lv An saw that dozens of figures had surrounded the Lv Family members, a cold smile appeared on his face. The two names he mentioned were of the main and vice Manor Masters of Tiger Roar Manor.

To be honest, Lv An wasn't too afraid of Pan Lianhu, the main Manor Master of Tiger Roar Manor. He knew Pan Lianhu was a reckless man with nothing but muscles and strong powers.

But Ren Qian couldn't be underestimated. Over the years, without Ren Qian's strategic maneuvers, how could a muscle-bound fool like Pan Lianhu contend with the Lv Family?

"Lv An, our families have been like water and fire for years. There's no need to talk about who is bolder. If we were timid, would your Lv Family still spare us?"

Ren Qian leisurely waved a black paper fan, whether due to the heat in the dark night or to maintain a relaxed demeanor, but his words left no room for rebuttal.

All along, the Lv Family had begrudged Tiger Roar Manor for taking land that belonged to them. Over the years, their open and secret battles resulted in dozens of fatalities on each side, forging an irreconcilable enmity.

"Hmph, Ren Qian, do you really think you can destroy the Lv Family with just this rabble?"

Knowing he couldn't out-talk Ren Qian, Lv An didn't bother arguing further. Instead, he gestured mockingly at the Tiger Roar Manor men, full of ridicule.

When these Tiger Roar Manor guys first showed up, Lv An was briefly alarmed, thinking Pan Lianhu had gathered strong reinforcements. But sensing their aura allowed him to relax.

Though Tiger Roar Manor's numbers were more than double the Lv Family's, many of them were merely at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm or Half-step Origin Seeking Realm.

In contrast, under Lv An's scrutiny, except for Yun Xiao, a youth who appeared to be at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, the dozen others were all at least Early Stage Origin Seeking experts.

Moreover, Lv An knew that the youth named Xing might only outwardly be at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, but with the ability to kill Half-step Origin Seeking Wang Gu in one move, his power was comparable to true Early Stage Origin Seeking experts.

The quality compared to Tiger Roar Manor was vastly superior. In a real fight, numbers don't matter; what counts is strength, which is why Lv An was confident.
