Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1200

But such meticulous scheming, fooling all the experts of Demons Mountain, was seen through at a glance by a mere young boy who had just arrived at the mountain.

Does this mean that all of Demons Mountain, including Mountain Master Hou Tianlie, are no match for a young man not even twenty years old? How humiliating! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Nonetheless, these Elders of Demons Mountain, especially the Third Elder, are not ones who shy away from admitting wrong, a slight blush of embarrassment appeared on his face. Earlier, he was the fiercest in opposing Yun Xiao, so naturally, he faced the harshest backlash.

"If my guess is correct, the Strange Spirit suppressed beneath the Spirit Suppressing Land might possess strength no lesser than mine!"

Hou Tianlie's expression was somewhat solemn, with a hint of sorrow. If he initially hadn't realized it, then at the moment his Meridian Qi was forcibly devoured, he came to understand many truths.

At that time, Hou Tianlie's Meridian Qi was still immensely powerful, were it not for the extraordinary strength of that Strange Spirit, how could he have been caught so off guard?

Subsequently, under that devouring power, with the rise of one and the fall of the other, Hou Tianlie was already beyond his own control. Had it not been for the forceful intervention of the Heavenly Rank expert Xiao Bailin, his fate would have been to be devoured into a dry corpse.

"Gold-grade Heavenly Spirit..."

Hearing Hou Tianlie's words, Xiao Bailin and the other Elders of Demons Mountain all drew a sharp breath. Such a formidable Strange Spirit residing within Demons Mountain is nothing less than a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

"Mountain Master, about Hongzhuang..."

After the initial shock, Xiao Bailin glanced at the red-clad figure on the other side, a look of despair emerging on his face. Though he asked the question, he also understood that the Mountain Master was likely at his wit's end.

That was a possible Gold-grade Heavenly Spirit; didn't you see Hou Tianlie almost got killed just now? If anyone dares to intervene, what awaits them is likely a dried-up corpse.

"Alas..."

Hou Tianlie seemed to be filled with sorrow, not answering Xiao Bailin's question. He was already the strongest among them. If there truly were someone capable of saving Xu Hongzhuang and the Snow Stepping Flying Horse, it would likely require an expert who surpasses that Strange Spirit by a Great Realm to forcibly use Meridian Qi to suppress it.

Yet, even the number one ranked Chairman of the Meridian Refining Master Association on the Heavenly List, Lu Yanji, was only at the Peak of the Lingyun Realm, far from reaching the Heavenly Realm equivalent to the Holy-grade Heavenly Spirit.

Therefore, in Hou Tianlie's heart, he had almost sentenced Xu Hongzhuang and the Snow Stepping Flying Horse to death. Among those present, if anyone dared to act rashly, it would undoubtedly be a certain death for them.

That Xiao Bailin could extract Hou Tianlie from danger earlier was not just due to his cultivation in the Floating Life Realm, but mainly relied on Hou Tianlie's own will.

As for Xu Hongzhuang and the Snow Stepping Flying Horse, one was weak in power, and the other, after such a period, had little willpower left. Besides, even if they had, it would be of no use.

"Is there really no hope?"

Seeing Hou Tianlie's expression, many Elders of Demons Mountain felt a surge of despair, whether for Xu Hongzhuang, the exceptionally talented Beast Vein Master, or the Snow Stepping Flying Horse with its extraordinary significance.

"Hey, you don't have to be so hopeless, do you? Isn't there still me?"

Just when everyone looked ashen, a familiar voice suddenly rang out nearby, instantly drawing everyone's attention, but upon seeing who it was, the flickering hope sank once more into despair.

Because the speaker was none other than the rough-clothed youth Yun Xiao, and the reason for the lack of confidence was his relatively weak cultivation, only at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm.

Although such a cultivation at such a young age ranked among the top of the younger generation on the Tenglong Continent, any expert from Demons Mountain present could easily surpass Yun Xiao's cultivation. On what grounds did he speak such bold words?

Did you not see even the Mountain Master of the Heavenly Rank Cloud Realm had been defeated?

You, young man, just now stumbled upon the insight of the Spirit Suppressing Land perhaps by luck and vision. When it comes to real skills, it relies on actual cultivation strength.

"Chi Yan, you go have some fun on your own, but don't wander too far!"

Yun Xiao paid no mind to the thoughts of the Demons Mountain experts. With a shake of his shoulder, he tossed Chi Yan aside and strode boldly towards the Spirit Suppressing Land.

"Yun Xiao, wait!"

At this moment, Hou Tianlie finally regained his senses, hurrying a few steps to stand in front of Yun Xiao. His gaze flickered with a trace of dread as he glanced towards the Spirit Suppressing Land, the expression on his face containing a hint of advice.

"The Strange Spirit beneath is no ordinary being, and it seems to have even turned the power of the Spirit Suppressing Land to its own use. I think this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Hou Tianlie's words were sincere, understanding that Xu Hongzhuang and the Snow Stepping Flying Horse were beyond help. He certainly didn't want Yun Xiao to get ensnared as well, considering he hailed from the Meridian Refining Master Association as a genius.

Why would Yun Xiao make such a decision, knowing it's a certain death? Hou Tianlie truly couldn't understand. This young man doesn't look like a fool, so why does he act so recklessly?

If Yun Xiao really dies on the Demons Mountain, although Hou Tianlie can personally explain to Lu Yanji, the relationship between the two major forces will probably never be friendly again.

Among the four top forces, Demons Mountain has already offended the Spirit Fighting Commerce, and its relationship with Wuyan Palace isn't great either. If they worsen relations with the Meridian Refining Master Association, even Hou Tianlie will feel immense pressure.

"We can take our time to plan, but they cannot wait!"

Yun Xiao slightly frowned, pointed to the person and horse over there, and added, "Do you really think that Strange Spirit is stupid? You've been tricked once and won't fall for it a second time, so the bait probably won't work!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Tianlie's heart tensed, and he turned his gaze to Xu Hongzhuang. Sure enough, he found that her already weak aura seemed to have weakened further, causing his face to turn panic-stricken.

"Don't worry, since Xiao Lan called me here, I definitely won't let her down!"

After saying these words again, Yun Xiao directly bypassed Hou Tianlie who was blocking him, and took several steps forward to stand in front of Xu Hongzhuang. Witnessing this scene, Hou Tianlie was left speechless.

Since Hou Tianlie is now Xu Hongzhuang's teacher and the Mountain Master of Demons Mountain, he naturally knows that this disciple once had a nickname Xiao Lan, and he also learned from Meng Liyang that Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang seemingly had a marriage agreement on Hidden Dragon Continent.

"It seems this young man isn't truly a heartless person either!"

Knowing Xu Hongzhuang's past, Hou Tianlie had some understanding of the grievances between the two, and would sometimes sigh with emotion over his beloved disciple's infatuation.

Subtly, his perception of Yun Xiao had worsened a bit, but it was not expressed openly.

Until this moment, when Hou Tianlie saw Yun Xiao disregard his own safety and risk his life to help Xu Hongzhuang, this negative perception changed somewhat. How can one who risks losing his life for a girl be considered heartless?

What Hou Tianlie didn't know is that Yun Xiao dared to make such a move not because he was desperate, but because he had some confidence, and this confidence all came from certain experiences and means from his past life as the Long Xiao Battle God.

Yun Xiao cherishes his life very much, and he would never do something that would cost his life without saving Xu Hongzhuang. Since the other party trusts him so much, he will definitely not let them down.

"Mountain Master, can he really handle it?"

The Third Elder of Demons Mountain was straightforward and had just reprimanded Yun Xiao. Now, he couldn't help but worry about Yun Xiao, especially since he had just saved the Mountain Master.

"I don't know either!"

Hou Tianlie was still a bit dazed. Having just witnessed the devouring power of the Strange Spirit, he knew clearly how strong it was. Even a Heavenly Rank Cloud Realm expert like himself couldn't withstand it, let alone a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Earth Bending Realm.

But for some reason, looking at the young man standing up straight, even though Hou Tianlie knew the success rate was precariously close to zero, he didn't entirely dismiss it, just uttered this ambiguous statement.

"Don't worry, that guy never fights unprepared!"

In comparison, even more so than Meng Liyang who had seen Yun Xiao on the Hidden Dragon Continent, Ge Wanli probably had more confidence in Yun Xiao, because he had seen Yun Xiao's unpredictable tactics at Yanji Lake.

"Oh? What makes you say that?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Ge Wanli. The Great Elder Xiao Bailin's eyes lit up and directly asked, as they all needed some words of comfort at this moment, even if it was just comfort.

"This time, under the order of the Great Elder, I've brought them to Yanji Lake..."

Ge Wanli did not hide anything and pointed to Luo Fusheng and Xiao Ming, then narrated what happened inside and outside Yanji Lake, causing the elders of Demons Mountain to have their expressions change continuously.

Even Hou Tianlie showed a trace of astonishment, for he knew very well that if he were in Yun Xiao's position, it would almost certainly be a death sentence.

And that plain-clothed young man? Not only did he turn danger into safety, but he also managed to defeat the four Late Stage Earth Bending experts, killing three and making one flee, even without seeing it with their own eyes, they could imagine the endless splendor at the time.

Many elders of Demons Mountain, who had reached the Middle and Late Stages of Earth Bending Realm, felt a burning sensation on their faces, having just shown disdain towards Yun Xiao.

Seventh Elder Zhang Daohe of Wuyan Palace, Yu Kuzhan, the Demon Suppressing Arhat of Thunder Sound Mountain, Zhao Huaixian of the Zhao Family, these were all infamous figures on Tenglong Continent. Yet, who would have thought that they all ended up dead at the hands of Yun Xiao.

Since Yun Xiao could defeat these figures, doesn't it mean that the elders of Demons Mountain are no match for him? It's laughable how they behaved with such an attitude earlier, it's like a slap to the face.
