Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 37 My Sorry, My Nine Clans
"go."

Lianshan loosened his restraints.

The dragon swung its tail and soared straight into the azure sky.

But just as they were about to touch the roof, Lian Shanxin spoke again: "Disperse!"

The dragon's energy vanished instantly.

If an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm martial artist were to witness this scene, it would surely shatter their worldview.

Even Lian Shanxin himself, despite being mentally prepared, was greatly shocked.

"I command the dragon to fly, and the dragon will fly. I command the dragon to die, and the dragon will die. Holding the mandate of heaven, holding the position of emperor, this is the true ecological niche of the Fulong lineage in ancient times."

"At the top of the food chain is not the true dragon emperor, but the dragon-subduing cultivator."

"Manipulating dynastic changes and wielding the power of life and death. To be honest, it fits my imagination of powerful cultivators in the world of cultivation."

Compared to the "Fulong" lineage mentioned by Qi Shiyun, it is clear that what Lian Shanxin comprehended was a more orthodox and powerful inheritance.

This is a true dragon-subduing immortal technique that only those who have grasped the true meaning of "dragon slaying" are qualified to cultivate.

A thousand years later, the immortals were nowhere to be found, and martial arts flourished. The royal family was high above, and the emperor's army was strong and powerful. The power shifted, and the "Hidden Dragon" lineage became the "Supporting Dragon" lineage, and then the "Chosen One" lineage.

If Lian Shanxin hadn't been incredibly audacious, risking Princess Dai Yueying's life to condense the true meaning of "Dragon Slayer," he wouldn't have discovered the true lineage of "Dragon Subduer."

"I stumbled upon the most correct path, which was also the most difficult path."

"For me, advancing to the True Intent Realm is a natural progression. But to achieve mastery of the True Intent and make further breakthroughs... I'm afraid I'll have to continue slaying dragons."

"The advantage is that as long as I can get through this most difficult path, I will be absolutely invincible in the 'Supporting Dragon' lineage at the same level. Qi Shiyun is ranked third in the world at the same level even without mastering the true meaning of 'Slaying Dragon', so I can look to the world and be second to none."

"The downside is that Qi Shiyun is right; this path is far too costly, affecting the entire family..."

"Times have changed after all."

Lian Shanxin shook his head helplessly.

At that moment, he felt that God was truly fair.

It pointed him to a clear, practical, and invincible path of cultivation.

It also explained to him the dangers of being the number one cultivator in the world on this invincible path of cultivation.

This is not a thousand years ago. The foundation of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, passed down for thousands of years, is something that a mere Qi Condensation Realm martial artist like him can not challenge.

"The cultivation path of the Fulong lineage has regressed; now it's the era of allying with emperors."

Lian Shanxin was keenly aware of the current situation; with his current strength, it was simply impossible for him to recreate the glory of the Fulong lineage from ancient times.

"But I have already achieved the true meaning of 'slaying the dragon,' and the die is cast. If I don't continue slaying the dragon, I can only stop at the realm of true meaning..."

"Dai Yueying, you treasure girl, you're still giving me trouble even after you're dead."

Lian Shanxin's lips twitched slightly, then his gaze gradually hardened.

"Killing a princess has already used up the quota for nine clans. I have nothing left to lose."

"I'm sorry, my family. Fortunately, my parents don't have any relatives on either side."

He Miaojun was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, but unfortunately, her family fell into decline and was later massacred by bandits, resulting in the complete annihilation of her clan. She was extremely lucky to have survived, but she was left with severe injuries.

According to the mother, other relatives may have also survived, but they have been scattered to the ends of the earth and are nowhere to be found.

As for Lian Shan Jingcheng, he was much more inspiring than Lian Shan Xin. At least Lian Shan Xin had a father who ran a clinic after he was born, while Lian Shan Jingcheng was just a pure rural shepherd boy.

A plague killed most of the villagers and orphaned Lian Shan Jingcheng. Fortunately, a wandering healer happened to pass by and saved the dying Lian Shan Jingcheng, teaching him some medical skills.

Even the name "Lianshan Jingcheng" was given to him by the divine doctor. Neither Lianshan Jingcheng nor his parents had that kind of education. At that time, he was called "Tiezhu".

Lianshan Xin can only say that the change is good, otherwise the surname "Lianshan" would be wasted.

After the legendary doctor left, Lian Shan Jingcheng went to various medical clinics to work as an apprentice and learn. He also tried to make his way in the martial arts world for a few years, but ultimately gave up his dream of becoming a famous doctor because he was too weak.

After luckily saving He Miaojun, the two fell in love and settled down in Jiangzhou City, where they have lived ever since.

Because both of them had experienced the tragic deaths of their entire families, Lian Shan Jingcheng and He Miaojun are now very content and happy, and do not want Lian Shan Xin to take any risks.

But how can a young person who hasn't yet been beaten down by reality be content without seeing the view from a higher vantage point?
"Although my mother hasn't said anything all these years, I can tell that she still misses her family very much. After my status in 'Nine Heavens' rises in the future, I will still try to find other surviving members of the He family. I also need to thoroughly investigate the matter of the He family being wiped out back then."

"I shouldn't doubt my mother. She has been raising me all these years and has never left Jiangzhou City. The Demonic Sect is such a large organization, and its leader is a man. I'm being too sensitive. It's not like only my mother needs the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to heal her wounds. The Crown Prince needs it too. You can't say that the Crown Prince is also the leader of the Demonic Sect. It's all because there are too many demonic people around me. I'm so paranoid. It's all the fault of the demonic people in the Demonic Sect."

"On my father's side, that legendary doctor never left his name. But according to my father, that doctor's medical skills were superb. He only taught him for a month, and he has benefited from it ever since. I will investigate thoroughly in 'Nine Heavens.' It shouldn't be difficult to find out the doctor's identity; it's much easier than on my mother's side."

"I must repay this life-saving grace. He is not only my father's savior, but also my savior."

"The hatred of the massacre of my family and the kindness of saving my life are things that ordinary people can't repay, and my parents have given up on me. So, I'm the one who has to do it."

After reviewing the situation of his nine clans, Lian Shanxin made up his mind.

He Miaojun has already consumed the thousand-year-old snow lotus, so how can we expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be magnanimous?

A family, or rather, a complete and utter act of rebellion.

Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.

Of course, one must first lie low. Hiding within the "Nine Heavens," one will outwardly focus on cultivating the "Supporting Dragon" lineage.

Waiting for the right moment to slay the dragon.

After calming his mind, Lian Shanxin slowly got up, ending his brief period of seclusion.

Upon opening the door, Lian Shanxin saw He Miaojun and Lian Shanjingcheng, who were looking at him strangely.

"Father, aren't you in office today? Why are you so free?"

Lian Shan Jingcheng said speechlessly, "With such a big thing happening last night, how could I possibly be in the mood to sit in court? I definitely need to take care of your mother first these next two days."

His family actually earned quite a bit, but it was almost all depleted by Lian Shanxin's martial arts training and He Miaojun's health care, leaving them with no money to hire apprentices for the medical clinic.

Lian Shanxin thought about it and agreed, giving Lian Shanjingcheng a thumbs up: "Father, you're right. Let's get my mother's health fully restored first."

He Miaojun asked, "Xiao Xin, you... you've broken through again?"

"Not that fast. At most, I'm at the peak of Qi Condensation, half a step into True Intent."

Despise Qi Wenbin, become Qi Wenbin.

In this world, your identity is something you earn yourself.

Lian Shanxin felt that the meeting was in full swing and that he should be invited.

He Miaojun was even more shocked: "How could you break through at such a fast speed?"

Lian Shanxin thought for a moment and said seriously, "Mother, this is cultivation. You don't understand if you don't cultivate."

He Miaojun: "..."
