Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"It's you, Yun Xiao, it must be you who orchestrated everything tonight, I, Lin Xuanting, will never rest until one of us is dead!"

At this moment, if Lin Xuanting still didn't understand what was happening, then he really would be a complete fool, thus all his resentment was redirected towards Yun Xiao.

Especially sensing the sudden normality in Yun Xiao's Meridian Qi, he faintly thought that perhaps even Luo Cheng had betrayed him, but how was all this achieved?

"If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself, Lin Xuanting, facing today's fate, you should first look for the reasons within yourself!"

Yun Xiao would not be intimidated by Lin Xuanting's state, and after this softly spoken remark, Lin Xuanting finally snapped, even forgetting the skills this youth displayed at Nanyu Mountain.

"I'm going to kill you!"

A fierce roar erupted from Lin Xuanting's mouth, and then he lunged violently towards Yun Xiao, losing all reason, finding the sight of the youth infuriating, needing to kill him to find relief.

"Rebel, still trying to act violently!"

At this moment, a booming shout suddenly came, and the lunging Lin Xuanting, as if struck hard, stiffened in mid-air, then fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

"A powerhouse from the Seeking Origin Realm, truly lives up to the reputation!"

Perhaps only Yun Xiao subtly sensed, right after Lin Zhenjiang shouted, a force of Earth Power surged out, hitting Lin Xuanting's Dantian and stopping his forward momentum promptly.

Don't think that during the day Lin Zhenjiang and Tao Family Head Tao Chengju were holding back, but in facing some low-level practitioners, his strength in the early stage of the Seeking Origin Realm truly was extraordinary.

"My… my Dantian, my Meridian Qi!"

Lin Xuanting, lying on the ground, felt his Dantian shattered, his body's Meridian Qi dissipating bit by bit, and was terrified out of his wits, knowing that he probably could never cultivate Meridian Qi again.

On the Continent, although a cultivator's Meridian Qi largely flows through the meridians, the Dantian in the lower abdomen is a hub; without this hub, all Meridian Qi would dissipate in a very short time, turning one into a complete cripple.

"Considering the father-son relationship between us, I will spare your life. But from tonight onwards, you are no longer a member of the Lin Family, leave on your own!"

Lin Zhenjiang, having incapacitated Lin Xuanting, did not take his life directly, perhaps as he said, even though this adopted son was unfilial, he couldn't be ruthless, after all, they shared more than twenty years of father-son affection.

"Puh!"

Hearing Lin Zhenjiang's words, Lin Xuanting couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, whether from injury or anger, and the next moment, his gaze filled with resentment swept over everyone in the courtyard.

"Lin Zhenjiang, Lin Xuanhao, and Yun Xiao, one day, I, Lin Xuanting will repay this humiliation!"

These silently sworn words, Lin Xuanting didn't dare to voice out; at this moment, he even hated Luo Cheng, for if it weren't for him playing along with Yun Xiao, how would he have ended up in this state?

As for Lin Xuanting's departure, Yun Xiao didn't say much, after all, this was the Lin Family's internal affair, and this guy had received his due punishment, a crippled person with a shattered Dantian, shouldn't be able to stir up any more trouble.

Whoosh!

Yet at that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly emerged, when people turned their heads to look, it turned out to be Qiao Guinong, the chief Meridian Refining Master of Lin Family, attempting to escape from the guest house.

"Old guy, thinking of running away?"

Lin Zhenjiang had heard clearly earlier outside the courtyard; since Qiao Guinong was indifferent to Lin Xuanting's words, it indicated that he had been in cahoots with that rebellious son long ago.

Towards Lin Xuanting, Lin Zhenjiang could still consider their over twenty years of father-son relationship and spare his life, but Qiao Guinong didn't share the Lin surname, having committed such vile acts, he must pay the corresponding price.

"Stop right there!"

A powerful aura burst forth from beneath the ground, and immediately Yun Xiao felt the air around Qiao Guinong seemed to be locked by some force, clearly the Earth Essence power mobilized by Lin Zhenjiang.

"Hmph!"

After all, the Seeking Origin Realm is incomparable, even though Qiao Guinong had reached the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, there's no comparison between the two; a muffled hum was heard, Qiao Guinong's corner of his mouth already oozing a trace of bright red blood.

"Damn old man!"

Lin Zhenjiang immediately knew that it was the poison refined by Qiao Guinong and could not help but curse aloud, for this time Qiao Guinong had targeted not himself, but where Lin Xuanhao was.

It seemed that Qiao Guinong knew that his poison, which was of a Spiritual Rank Advanced and highly toxic, would have limited effect on Lin Zhenjiang of the Origin Seeking Realm. If it hit a second time, today this old life might indeed have been lost here.

It must be said that Qiao Guinong reacted extremely quickly. Knowing that after Lin Xuanting left, Lin Xuanhao was Lin Zhenjiang's only son. In such a situation, how could this Lin Family Head possibly have the mind to deal with him?

Swoosh!

Indeed, just as Qiao Guinong predicted, Lin Zhenjiang, familiar with the severity of his poison, at this moment moved slightly and stood in front of Lin Xuanhao. With a wave of his sleeves, he precisely deflected the deadly liquid to the side.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Watching it fall onto a stone table and instantly corrode several small holes into the hard surface, Lin Zhenjiang couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, thinking to himself that the Poison Meridian Skill of that old man Qiao Guinong seemed to have improved.

Seizing the opportunity while Lin Zhenjiang protected his son, Qiao Guinong did not hesitate or linger. With a flicker, he was already out of the courtyard and disappeared into the dark night.

Yun Xiao never thought to stop the breakout of this strong practitioner at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm. One misstep and even his own life could be at risk. No matter his abilities, there was a limit.

However, Yun Xiao's purpose had been achieved. This plan resulted in Lin Xuanting's conspiracy being exposed and his Dantian crippled, making him disabled. Qiao Guinong, knowing he was no match, had fled in disarray. In a way, he had truly repaid the favor for saving Lin Xuanhao's life.

"Brother Xuan Hao, there is no need to feel sorry for such a ruthless person!"

Turning his head, Yun Xiao looked at the lost expression on Lin Xuanhao's face, couldn't help but speak out to comfort him, finally pulling him back from his daze.

"Big Brother Yun Xiao, how did you know about the... the conspiracy of that Lin Xuanting?"

Lin Xuanhao composed himself and asked. Even Lin Zhenjiang was extremely curious. How could this young man see through in a few days what he had not noticed in more than twenty years?

"It's quite a coincidence, if Lin Xuanting hadn't sent this man to assassinate me, perhaps I would have been deceived by him too!"

Yun Xiao pointed to Luo Cheng, who looked frightened. The words startled Luo Cheng even more because he didn't know how the Lin father and son would deal with him.

"No matter what, my Lin Family owes you a great favor this time, and we must repay this kindness!"

Lin Zhenjiang, frank and straightforward, not a hypocrite like Lin Xuanting and Qiao Guinong, spoke earnestly and sincerely, making Lin Xuanhao nod continuously.

"Family Head Lin, no need to be polite. Brother Xuan Hao owes me a life-saving favor, and now after today's events, consider us even!"

Yun Xiao did these things partly because he disapproved of Lin Xuanting and partly because he didn't want to owe the Lin Family anything. Perhaps this was just how the Yun sisters were.

"Although this fellow acted under Lin Xuanting's orders, his actions tonight also had merit; how about we spare his life?"

Yun Xiao waved his hand to stop the words that Lin Xuanhao was about to say, and the following words allowed Luo Cheng to breathe a huge sigh of relief, feeling that his life was likely saved.

"Whatever Little Brother Yun Xiao says, we'll follow!"

For such a minor matter, Lin Zhenjiang naturally wouldn't refuse, because if not for Yun Xiao, his own son might have been killed by Lin Tingxuan any day.

"Big Brother Yun Xiao, in a month there will be the Spirit Fighting Conference in Yuyang City, will you go?"

Lin Xuanhao, putting away the melancholy in his heart, brought up the old topic again about the Spirit Fighting Conference in Yuyang City, and this time Yun Xiao seemed a bit intrigued.

"I wonder what rewards are there at the Spirit Fighting Conference?"

This was Yun Xiao's true purpose. If there wasn't anything substantial, he wouldn't go out and make a scene. Being new to Tenglong Continent, it was only proper to keep a low profile.

However, if that so-called Spirit Fighting Conference really had something worth fighting for, Yun Xiao wouldn't mind joining in the fun. Even though he hadn't refined any Meridian Spirit, with the Golden Snake Worm in hand, what Meridian Spirit could outdo this self-proclaimed Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?

"Humph, don't think about taking advantage of me!"

Just when these thoughts flared up in Yun Xiao's mind, a familiar voice rang inside his head, clearly the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu sensing his thoughts and feeling discontent.

"This time, the Spirit Fighting Conference is only for those in the Spirit Vein Realm and Qi Seeking Realm. It's said that the champion of the Qi Seeking Realm level Spirit Fighting Conference will be rewarded with a Seventh Rank 'Thunder Spirit Crystal'!"

Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak with the Golden Snake Worm, Lin Xuanhao's somewhat eager voice reached his ears, making him suddenly light up – indeed, just like finding a pillow when drowsy!
