Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 209 Are you guys poisoned?

Members of the great families watched from the crowd, their mouths twitching.

Damn it! This guy is clearly only in the Heavenly Realm, so why have dozens of Dao Xuan Masters from a single family been scared witless by him!

This was especially true for those who knew the elder’s status within the Wu Family. They looked as if they had just seen a ghost. Although the elder belonged to the gentle faction, the consequences would be unimaginable if anyone ever dared to underestimate him. But now, where was his previous demeanor?

"You have a quarter of an hour," Ning Xuan spoke again, this time with a blatant threat. "If I don’t see my man by then, I’ll kill one person for every breath that passes!" It was his final ultimatum.

"Fine!" the elder shouted in agreement before whirling around and bellowing, "What are you all standing around for?! Go search! Everyone, get moving! If you can’t find him, don’t even think about coming back!"

"Hm?" Ning Xuan frowned.

The elder’s body trembled. He immediately turned back, smiling obsequiously at Ning Xuan. "No! If you can’t find him, all of you get your asses back here! That... I misspoke in the heat of the moment. I definitely didn’t mean that!"

The next moment, he even clasped his hands in a bow toward the onlookers. "Everyone, if you have seen Wu Liang, please inform us. The Wu Family will be very grateful. Right, many of you may not recognize him. He is wearing..." He proceeded to give a detailed description of Wu Liang’s physical appearance.

Someone immediately stepped forward. "I saw him. He was at the Drunken Flower Pavilion an hour ago."

The elder’s face turned green. The Drunken Flower Pavilion was a veritable Hero’s Tomb, a den of vice that swallowed gold!

"That scourge!" the elder cursed under his breath as he tossed out a small bag of Heavenly Crystals.

Seeing that providing information really earned a reward of Heavenly Crystals, the crowd suddenly grew lively. As they listened on, the Wu Family members felt something was amiss.

I can understand telling us where he was yesterday. But saying he harassed a widow in Good Man Lane a month ago? Do they think we’re fat sheep to be fleeced? This is fucking outrageous!

Ning Xuan and his two companions also frowned more and more as they listened. What was all this nonsense?

Suddenly, a weak voice spoke out. "Just now, I saw him heading toward Good Man Lane with three very pretty, fairy-like ladies."

The complexions of the elder and the Wu Family members changed at once. Then, a large group of them rushed out together. Wu Pianpian was the first to follow.

Yun Wangshu started to move but then froze in place. Right now, my Dao arts are merged with Ning Xuan’s martial power. If I leave, it’ll be a disaster if the remaining Wu Family members attack him!

"Go on," Ning Xuan’s voice rang out. "You and Wu Pianpian can watch out for each other. She has such an explosive temper, I’m worried she’ll get into trouble."

Yun Wangshu hesitated. "What about you?"

"Most of their experts have left. As for these remaining shrimp and crabs, I’m actually hoping they’ll try something," Ning Xuan’s lighthearted voice reached her ears.

Yun Wangshu figured he had a point. She nodded and went after Wu Pianpian.

The oppressive cloud hanging over the Wu Family instantly dissipated. The remaining members of the family breathed a collective sigh of relief. They knew the threat that had been looming over their heads was gone. Some people’s eyes flickered, their gazes toward Ning Xuan turning hostile.

"Aunt, should we go?" Qian Fanfan asked Qian Yourong from within the crowd.

Qian Yourong’s attention was fixed on Ning Xuan. "Huh?" she said, before adding, "He’s quite impressive!" She hadn’t even heard the question.

Qian Fanfan rolled her eyes, but then her own eyes widened as a terrible possibility occurred to her. No way. Aunt is so much older than him... The thought of having to call a boy potentially younger than herself "Uncle" makes me inexplicably agitated.

"Aunt, let’s go! Those two women are out there alone and vulnerable. We have to go help them!" Qian Fanfan said, pulling Qian Yourong by the hand as she left.

Ignoring the Wu Family members behind him, Ning Xuan turned to walk away. Someone had provided information, but the Wu Family had yet to pay them their reward. If the Wu Family wouldn’t pay, he would. But by the time he found the person, they had already scurried away. Ning Xuan instantly understood why.

WHOOSH!

The crowd saw a blur. When they blinked, Ning Xuan was still standing in the same spot, having only swayed slightly.

"What just happened? Did a Wu Family Dao Xuan Master attack him?"

"Probably a probe! It turns out he could only kill that Dao Xuan Master with a single touch because of the woman beside him! The Wu Family wasn’t sure, so they tested him."

Behind Ning Xuan, just outside the crowd, a little beggar clutched a handful of Heavenly Crystals. He quickly hid them and, recalling the words he had just overheard, muttered with a scoff, "A bunch of idiots. They can’t even tell that Big Brother already left, yet they still have the nerve to talk about him. Shameless!"

He then clenched his fist and whispered, "One day, I’m going to be a peerless hero just like Big Brother! Taking on a whole great family by myself! So awesome!" As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he saw no one was looking and quickly ran off.

Meanwhile, the peerless hero of his heart was currently being looked down upon by the remaining Wu Family members.

"He’s just a loser who relies on women. What’s there to be afraid of? Let’s go!"

"Exactly! Let’s get him together! If we can suppress him, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

"Think about the women with him. The two of them protect him so fiercely, they’d probably be willing to do anything for him, right?"

At the Wu Family’s entrance, several men were plotting via voice transmission. The crowd’s speculation had already shaken their resolve. Now, spurred on by the thought of the women, they could no longer hold back and decided to strike.

That does it, I’m leaving! I swear I’m not staying a second longer. If I stay, I’m a dog! Chu Tian, standing in the crowd, had just made up his mind and was turning to leave.

BOOM!

A sudden explosion erupted behind him. Chu Tian’s body stiffened. He ignored it and continued to walk.

"Damn, he’s too strong!"

"This... How can he be so terrifying?!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Such exclamations rang in Chu Tian’s ears like a bewitching curse. For fuck’s sake! What is wrong with you people?!

Fuming, Chu Tian whipped around. Then, his eyes widened dramatically.

"Holy shit, Ning Xuan is so powerful!" he exclaimed. "That was a beautiful punch!" His eyebrows danced with excitement, and he desperately wished he could join the fray.

As for the vow I just made... to hell with it! So what if I’m a dog? Eating my words tastes damn good!

He was grinning, but those who had just been mocking Ning Xuan were now numb with shock. The Wu Family members felt like dying. They originally thought Ning Xuan’s strength came entirely from the woman with him, that he himself was just putting on a brave front.

But now, while they were still preparing their Dao Xuan Techniques, Ning Xuan had already struck! One punch, one person! He was beating them as if they were children!

"Don’t hit me, I didn’t mean to—pfft!" One man suffered an undeserved blow and tried to beg for mercy, but it was too late. He fell to the ground, spitting blood. Looking at his family members scattered on the floor, he was filled with anger, rage, and indignation, yet he was completely helpless. They were Dao Xuan Masters! How could they possibly withstand a Martial Artist at close range?

Someone grew furious. Ning Xuan wasn’t killing anyone, but his actions were grinding the Wu Family’s face into the dirt!

"Ning Xuan, you’ve gone too far! If you have the guts, fight us with your Dao Xuan... Tech... nique..." Before the man could finish, his voice trailed off as he stared, dumbfounded.
