Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 231: Little Ancestor, Why Do You Want to Kill Me?
But as a member of the Wenren Clan’s Direct Lineage, he recognized that aura all too well—it was the aura of the Old Ancestor!
It was absolutely impossible to fake!
Ning Xuan didn’t answer, instead countering with a question of his own. "Grandson, do you remember what I just said?"
Wenren Yi’s expression stiffened. He then forced a smile uglier than a grimace and said fawningly, "I remember, I remember! Greetings, Young Ancestor."
In the Wenren Clan, the Old Ancestor was a supreme existence! What was even more terrifying was that, from this Ancient Jade, he could sense an authority that could not be challenged. This meant that the Old Ancestor, whom many believed to have already passed on, was still in the mortal world!
"Young Ancestor, may I ask where the Old Ancestor is now?" Wenren Yi asked, his face a mask of humility and sycophancy.
Ning Xuan ignored him completely, asking coldly, "What? You think you’re a cut above your own ancestor?"
Muttering denials, Wenren Yi quickly moved to the front of the mobile villa.
"Young—"
He had barely spoken when Ning Xuan’s voice cut in. "Kneel when you speak!"
THUD!
He knelt without the slightest hesitation.
Nearby, Nanling Bully was utterly dumbfounded. Wenren Yi was known for his explosive temper. It was his repeated transgressions in Yao Guang that had gotten him demoted to this Lower Realm. He had definitely never seen such an obedient Wenren Yi before!
That piece of Ancient Jade! No wonder these kids dared to disrespect him! Nanling Bully had a moment of realization, and his expectations for Ning Xuan dropped a notch.
The very first name he had heard upon descending to the Lower Realm was Ning Xuan. After some curious investigation, even he had to admit the kid was something else. A prodigy of such stunning talent would be pursued by all the major powers, even in Yao Guang. After he and Wenren Yi had exchanged a look, they had both seen the same spark in each other’s eyes. The only difference was that they chose different methods. Wenren Yi was more direct, attempting to use force to make his target submit. He, on the other hand, knew that most prodigies were proud and would rather break than bend, so he decided to take a gentler approach. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
But now, it seems this fellow is just a schemer, riding on the coattails of a tiger to intimidate others. Nanling Bully couldn’t help but feel deeply disappointed.
You Ruo, on the other hand, was quite shocked. She never would have expected Ning Xuan to be holding such a powerful trump card!
That guy is the worst! To think I was actually worried about him! Glaring fiercely at Ning Xuan, You Ruo began grinding her teeth again.
Aboard the mobile villa, the women all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces lighting up with smiles.
"Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Why don’t you keep it up?" Wu Pianpian immediately switched to taunt mode. "Supreme, what great majesty you had! How come you’re like a dog on its knees now?"
Even without the Ancient Jade, Wu Pianpian wouldn’t have been afraid. This wasn’t because of the Bi Luo Palace, but because of her own personality. Now, with her junior brother holding the jade, there was even less to say. She could mock him to her heart’s content!
Wenren Yi’s face cycled between green and white. His fists were clenched so tightly that his face was contorted, yet he didn’t dare to lash out. He just didn’t have the guts. The Ancient Jade represented the Old Ancestor; if the Old Ancestor got angry, he would be annihilated, body and soul. After all, the Wenren Clan was vast and powerful, and there were many others just like him.
There was nothing he could do. Wenren Yi could only endure it.
Little did he know, his nightmare had only just begun.
Qian Yourong stepped forward, seemingly to play peacemaker. "You should say less."
Wenren Yi had just breathed a sigh of relief when her next words nearly sent him into a rage.
"He’s a man of venerable age, and a Supreme who descended from the Upper Realm. He’s already kneeling, so how can you keep talking to him like that? How is he supposed to save any face?"
Wenren Yi nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Is that how you comfort someone?! You’re rubbing salt in my wounds! You’re not just trying to kill me, you’re trying to destroy my spirit! Damn it. The women around this kid are all tigresses! They may be beautiful, but every single one of them is vicious!
A wide grin spread across Wu Pianpian’s face. She threw an arm around Qian Yourong and pulled her close. "Sis, from now on, you’re my real sister! And by the way, you’re so good with words, you should talk more often!"
Then, Wu Pianpian threw her other arm around Ning Xuan. "Quick, call her ’sister’!"
Behind them, standing in the doorway of the villa, Yun Wangshu watched them with a smile, though a trace of loneliness flickered in the depths of her eyes.
I’ve been away for far too long. I wonder how the Sect is doing. I have to find a way to get back soon. The thought surfaced in her mind, growing stronger with each passing moment.
Just then, Ning Xuan’s voice called out, "Sister Wangshu, could you come here for a moment?"
Yun Wangshu started, then softly replied, "Alright." As she stepped forward, she was as obedient as a new bride. If anyone from the Dao Xuan Institute were to see this, their jaws would surely hit the floor. In the Institute, Yun Wangshu had always been the untouchable celestial fairy, an image no mortal dared to gaze upon directly. Now, the fairy had fallen to earth.
Outside the mobile villa, the kneeling Wenren Yi saw another exceptionally beautiful woman emerge, whose looks and bearing were in no way inferior to the previous two. His eyes instantly went wide. He completely forgot the barbs Wu Pianpian and Qian Yourong had thrown at him. At this moment, his heart was a storm of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Damn it all! We’re both men, and I even have status and power, so why can’t I have a single woman who can compare to them?!
WHOOSH!
A flash of cold light shot through the air as Wu Pianpian pointed her long spear at Wenren Yi. "Grandson, what are you looking at?!" she snapped. "Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!"
Wenren Yi hurriedly lowered his head, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
This is too humiliating! I absolutely cannot let this go! Otherwise, I’ll lose all face! I can’t act myself, but with my status, people who want to work for me will come at my beck and call!
Just then...
BOOM!
A terrifying force struck down. Wenren Yi’s reaction was incredibly fast, but he was still a step too late. Ning Xuan had launched a sudden, explosive attack, slamming his palm onto Wenren Yi’s head.
WHOOSH!
A blade of cold light followed immediately after, severing his neck!
A Supreme’s power was immense, their Divine Soul already fully formed. Ning Xuan wasn’t about to give his opponent any chance to fight back.
He lifted a head from the ground, blood streaming from its seven orifices. Its eyes were wide as saucers as it spoke in disbelief, "Young Ancestor, why did you kill me?"
He couldn’t understand. He had already been so servile, yet this guy launched a sneak attack without a single word! This was too goddamn frustrating! Too infuriating! He had to be the first Supreme in history to die such a pathetic death!
"I sensed your killing intent," Ning Xuan said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "You wanted to kill me, so I had to strike first. It was just pre-emptive self-defense."
SPURT!
Wenren Yi’s head spewed blood.
Pre-emptive self-defense, my ass! I hate him!
Ning Xuan was already prepared, tossing the head into the air.
SHINK!
A long spear pierced straight through it.
Only then did Nanling Bully seem to awaken from a dream. Everything had happened far too quickly, completely catching him off guard. He believed that no matter who it was, no one would have ever expected Ning Xuan to actually make a move.
This guy was completely and utterly lawless.
