Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1197: Spirit Suppressing Land

Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Emperor Canglong Palace!

The Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was where Yun Xiao swept through in his past life, and the Emperor Canglong Palace was the residence of his best and most respected "older brother," the most mysterious holy land of the entire Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

For in this Emperor Canglong Palace lived a sovereign figure of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud—the Emperor Canglong!

However, in Yun Xiao's reincarnated heart now, the Emperor Canglong is no longer that respectable elder brother of the past but a despicable traitor who betrayed, stole wives, and murdered friends.

Of course, Yun Xiao currently is quite weak in cultivation level, muddling through on the Hidden Dragon Continent and naturally poses no threat to this great figure, the Emperor Canglong. Everything must wait until he returns to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

And within the Emperor Canglong Palace today is someone closely related to Yun Xiao at a vital moment, someone who influenced his entire childhood.

Before a magnificent hall stood a graceful and stunning woman. If Yun Xiao were here, he would recognize her as his wife from his past life: Qinwan!

Notably, the Dragon Cloud War God's wife from the past life had become the Empress of the Emperor Canglong, respected by countless people of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud for a hundred years, a dignified empress revered by the world.

Yes, although Yun Xiao is reincarnated for less than twenty years and it has been only a few short years since his rebirth on Hidden Dragon Continent, it's been a whole hundred years since his fall in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

No one knows what happened in between, but a hundred years was enough for the entire Nine-layered Dragon Cloud to forget the once invincible Dragon Cloud War God.

The fame of the Empress Canglong was at its zenith, undisputed ruler of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. Recently, the Emperor Canglong often secluded himself to break through to another supreme level, leaving daily matters mainly to Empress Qinwan.

Yet the Empress Qinwan at this moment bore a worried expression, her eyes fixated on the hall exuding a special aura, muttering words unknown.

Boom!

A moment later, a special energy wave erupted from the hall, causing Qinwan's face to instantly relax; she knew her worries were unfounded.

Cre-e-ak!

The hall's door was pulled open from inside, a slender young girl stepping out, looking around twenty years old, extremely beautiful, nearly matching Qinwan, though there seemed to be a hint of gloom between her brows.

If Yun Xiao and Yun Wei siblings, or their mother were here, they would recognize this elegant young girl as the foster daughter and elder sister who once spent over ten years with them at the Shang Family: Xue Qi!

In the past, Xue Qi betrayed their mother and brothers, directing the tall and lean elder of the Star-picking Tower, Ning Fu, causing Yun Xiao and Yun Wei siblings to narrowly escape death, and Shang Li was captured and tortured by the Star-picking Tower in the Li Yuan Realm.

The Li Yuan Realm was an extremely secretive plane with some unique restrictions between it and the Mortal World, so although Xue Qi made great achievements for Ning Fu, he did not dare bring her directly to the Li Yuan Realm.

Eventually, after many twists, Ning Fu brought Xue Qi to the Emperor Canglong Palace in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud for Emperor Canglong and Empress Qinwan to care for.

Although Ning Fu had just broken through to the Holy Rank Third Realm, the Emperor Canglong couple were reluctant to pay attention, but his background was exceptional.

As the sovereign of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the Emperor Canglong knew far more than ordinary cultivators. Through some obscure channels, he learned that above the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud is a mysterious plane called the Li Yuan Realm.

In the Li Yuan Realm, Heavenly Rank experts are abundant, Saint-rank experts everywhere, yet those who can dominate in the Nine-layered Great Continents are merely at the bottom in the Li Yuan Realm.

So, after Ning Fu slightly revealed his background, the Emperor Canglong naturally did not dare neglect, seeing it as a golden opportunity to connect with Li Yuan Realm's major forces, hence taking good care of Xue Qi.

Over time, Xue Qi showed her extraordinary talent, coupled with her willingness to please, eventually leading to the Emperor Canglong couple adopting her as their foster daughter, even focusing on nurturing her.

This was partly due to the intimidation from Li Yuan Realm's major forces, and partly because of Xue Qi's cultivation talent, making her extremely precious to the Emperor Canglong couple now.

"Little Xue!"

Watching the girl approaching slowly, Qinwan put away those memories, her face showing a trace of doting affection. At the same time, sensing the enormous aura from this foster daughter, her smile grew even warmer.

"Mother!"

To this foster mother, much stronger than Shang Li, Xue Qi also put away her once harsh and ruthless demeanor, respectfully bowing, while her mind flashed the image of a slim, rough-clothed boy.

"Little Xue, now that you've broken through to the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, what's your plan next?"

Qinwan stepped forward, combing the hair by Xue Qi's ear gently, asking softly. At her level, she naturally knew the truth that haste in cultivation can lead to failure; breaking through a major rank requires time for consolidation.

"Mother, I want to take a trip to the Lower Realm!"

Xue Qi seemed to have planned this all along. Just as Qinwan's voice fell, she had already given her answer. Hearing this response, Qinwan was momentarily stunned, then nodded slightly without asking further.

After all, the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was home to many Holy Rank experts, and there were no few vein demons at the Holy Demon level. Even with the backing of the Emperor Canglong Palace, nothing could guarantee that no accidents would occur.

But it was different in the Middle Three Realms. There, it was unlikely even to have Holy Rank experts. Xue Qi, who had already broken through to the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, had very few opponents.

However, what Qinwan did not see was the flash of brilliance in Xue Qi's eyes after speaking, along with the murmured words that only she could hear.

"Yun Xiao, my dear brother, so many years have passed. I wonder if you still remember me, your sister Xue Qi?"

......

"Ah-choo!" "Ah-choo!"

Yun Xiao naturally had no knowledge of everything happening in the Li Yuan Realm and the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. However, at some point, while sitting on the back of a Green Phoenix, he suddenly sneezed twice, leaving him bewildered.

He didn't know someone somewhere was thinking of him. After rubbing his nose, he saw the vast, continuous mountain range below, which gave him a slight thrill.

"Is that the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range?"

Watching Ge Wanli ahead control the descent of the Flying Beast Pulse Demon, Yun Xiao was certain that he was here to help Xu Hongzhuang in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. He had previously learned about this sect and knew the sect headquarters was located at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

But Yun Xiao didn't know if Xu Hongzhuang could still hold on after all this time. If she had already perished in an accident, he would truly be grief-stricken.

Yun Xiao lightly tapped the back of the Green Phoenix, then followed a few people ahead as they descended, soon landing on a massive stone platform, built for the landing of Flying Beast Pulse Demon.

"Elder Ge, you're back?"

A guard in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain attire approached. Being an elder in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, Ge Wanli held a significant status there despite feeling constrained in front of people like Zhang Daohe.

"Has the Mountain Master returned?"

As he nodded, Ge Wanli leapt off the back of the Flying Beast Pulse Demon and inquired. He knew that the Mountain Master had gone to the Xuanyin Hall some time ago, and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain headquarters was currently overseen by the Great Elder Xiao Bailin.

"The Mountain Master returned three days ago and is currently in the Spirit Suppressing Land assisting Miss Hongzhuang!"

The person seemed to have a high position in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and was well aware of these secrets. Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao, who had just leapt off the Green Phoenix, couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"Let's go!"

Having received the answer he wanted, Ge Wanli gestured to Yun Xiao behind him. At this moment, he no longer felt too worried. After all, the Mountain Master himself was taking action, and it seemed there was nothing he couldn't resolve.

Bringing Yun Xiao back was more about fulfilling Xu Hongzhuang's wish. Ge Wanli really wanted to help Xu Hongzhuang by bringing her beloved to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Whether this young man could actually be of help, he wasn't too hopeful.

Although Yun Xiao had shown great prowess by Yanji Lake, it only meant his vein energy combat power was strong. This was the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, a place teeming with Beast Vein Masters.

Even the Great Elder, a Heavenly Rank Beast Vein Master, felt helpless. Ge Wanli was confident Yun Xiao wouldn't have any solutions either.

But now that the Mountain Master had returned, perhaps by the time he saw Xu Hongzhuang, everything would have been resolved?

Thus, Ge Wanli cheerfully led Yun Xiao toward the so-called Spirit Suppressing Land, unaware that the Spirit Suppressing Land was already caught in a special crisis.

......

Ten Thousand Demon Mountain headquarters, Spirit Suppressing Land!

This was an exceptionally unique place within Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, once home to the Snow Stepping Flying Horse. The name "Spirit Suppressing Land" left many wondering about its origin.

But these weren't the most important things now. What made all the elders of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, including Mountain Master Hou Tianlie, extremely anxious were the two figures at the center of Spirit Suppressing Land.

These two figures were one person and one horse. The white flying horse lying on the ground appeared to be on the verge of death, and alongside it, the girl had her eyes closed, her fate uncertain.

The snow-white flying horse with wings naturally was the Snow Stepping Flying Horse, and beside it, the red-skirted girl was Xu Hongzhuang, its new owner.

Both seemed to be trapped in a mysterious and dangerous state, and it was unclear how much longer they could last.
