The Xiao Family's Destruction

"What's going on?"

Above Wu Tan City, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the former site of the Xiao Family family, her small head filled with great confusion.

No, it can't even be described as an old site anymore; it should be described as ruins.

The once bustling and lively Xiao Family is now nothing but ruins.

Apart from the occasional fearless Dou Zhe ventures in to collect something, it is almost completely deserted.

She hasn't been gone for very long, has she?

Moreover, Protector Wu was also one of her people, so how come the Xiao Family was still wiped out?

Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled.

After a moment of silence, green light began to appear in his eyes, and the scene below him began to recede rapidly in his vision.

It's like playing a video in reverse.

Then a familiar figure came into her view.

Protector Wu!?

After watching Protector Wu disappear, she rushed into the Xiao Family and ransacked Xiao Family without alerting anyone.

He packed up everything related to jade and took it with him, including the disguised Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade that Xiao Zhan always carried with him.

As he left, he didn't forget to slap the Xiao Family.

Who in the entire Xiao Family could withstand a casual strike from Dou Zong?

The Xiao Family was instantly wiped out by that single palm strike.

However, what reassured her was that although the Xiao Family was destroyed, Xiao Xun'er escaped the calamity because she was not at the Xiao Family that day.

After Zhu Zhuqing left, the mansion was left to Xiao Xun'er. She would visit the Zhu Mansion from time to time, but she did not run into Protector Wu.

"The Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade was actually taken away."

I told you to stall the Soul Clan and draw their attention to the Northwest Continent, but you..."

Zhu Zhuqing's lips twitched.

With the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade gone and the Xiao Family wiped out, the Soul Clan naturally wouldn't care about a destitute Northwest Continent anymore.

Very well, the Soul Clan will indeed no longer focus their attention on the Northwest Continent, but her development time will be shortened.

With the strength of the Soul Clan, apart from the Xiao Family's Ancient Jade whose location remains unknown, the whereabouts of the other clans' Ancient Jade are basically under the Soul Clan's control.

The reason why the Soul Clan has not taken action all this time is simply because they cannot determine the location of the Xiao Family's Ancient Jade.

Now that the Xiao Family's Ancient Jade has been seized, Zhu Zhuqing can already imagine the fate of the other clans.

With the Soul Clan's power to wipe out two other clans in one night, other ancient races simply couldn't hold out for long.

She wasn't worried about her development time.

She doesn't need much time to develop. After all, even if the Soul Clan is powerful, it would be impossible for them to collect all the Ancient Jade in less than five or six years.

This amount of time is enough for her to develop further.

What she truly regretted was the Negative Energy generated when the Soul Clan destroyed other ancient races.

A mere Dou Huang force in the Northwest Region region fought her to the death, and she broke through to the Dou Zun in one fell swoop.

If she absorbed the Negative Energy generated by the destruction of the Dou Sheng power, even just a small amount would be enough for her to break through to the Dou Sheng.

Zhu Zhuqing originally planned to hide in the Northwest Region for a few years and go to the Central Plains after her strength reached the peak of Dou Zun.

Then they followed behind the Soul Clan, picking up scraps and absorbing Negative Energy to increase their strength.

But to her surprise, Protector Wu carried out her orders in this way.

Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade is handed over, no one in the Northwest Continent will pay attention to it anymore, and she can develop in peace without worrying about being disturbed.

But this time her original plan was a little different!

This is really a surprise.

Zhu Zhuqing touched her forehead with her hand.

There's nothing she can do; the Protector Wu she created later, while intelligent, isn't very intelligent.

The order given by Zhu Zhuqing was indeed perfectly fulfilled, but...

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless; this was too ridiculous.

In a flash, Zhu Zhuqing appeared directly at her lodging in Wu Tan City.

"Sister Zhuqing!"

As soon as she appeared, Xiao Xun'er, who had been sitting on the swing with a worried expression, saw Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Xun'er, who had been looking worried, jumped off the swing and rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Ling Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she saw Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appear.

He didn't even notice how Zhu Zhuqing appeared!

"Sister Zhuqing, you're finally back! Xun'er missed you so much."

Xiao Xun'er hugged Zhu Zhuqing's small head and buried it directly in Zhu Zhuqing's big chest.

"Alright, get up."

Zhu Zhuqing let Xiao Xun'er hug her for a while, then patted her shoulder.

When are you planning to leave?

Zhu Zhuqing did not inquire about Xiao Xun'er's Xiao Family affairs, but instead asked her when she would leave the Northwest Continent for the Central Plains.

"Sister Zhuqing, you already know."

Xiao Xun'er noticed a hint of panic flash across Zhu Zhuqing's face as he looked at her.

"Sister Zhuqing, I didn't mean to keep it from you. It's just that the Xiao Family is too complicated, and I didn't want you to get involved, so I kept it from you."

The Xiao Family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I only escaped disaster because I wasn't at the Xiao Family that day.

Real!"

Xiao Xun'er was afraid that Zhu Zhuqing would attribute everything that happened in the Xiao Family to her and mistakenly think that she was a bad girl, so she quickly explained.

"I know it's not you, I'm just asking when you're leaving."

The Xiao Family has been destroyed, and what you're looking for is probably gone too. When are you leaving?

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected Xiao Xun'er to have so many ideas.

Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't doubt her, Xiao Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she still lost interest when she heard the word "leave".

She contacted Gu Yuan that very night after learning of the Xiao Family's massacre. Gu Yuan remained silent after learning that the Xiao Family had been wiped out.

Then he instructed Xiao Xun'er to stay in Wu Tan City for a while longer, and that he would send someone to pick her up and take her back to the Ancient Clan.

It's only a few days until the Ancient Clan's welcoming party arrives.

Xiao Xun'er originally felt a little regretful that she hadn't seen Zhu Zhuqing one last time before leaving.

But after actually meeting Zhu Zhuqing, the thought of having to leave her in just a few days made me a little reluctant.

"The people who are coming to pick me up will be here soon. Sister Zhuqing, why don't you leave with me? Let's go to Central Plains together. There is plenty of battle qi there, so cultivation will be faster. And that way, we won't have to be separated."

Xiao Xun'er hugged Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said coquettishly.

She genuinely wanted to abduct Zhu Zhuqing to the Ancient Clan, and it had nothing to do with her father's orders.

"I will indeed go to Central Plains, but I will have to wait a while longer. My strength is too weak. If I go to Central Plains without power, I will be at the mercy of others."

Besides, I don't have the habit of living under someone else's roof. I'll come find you again when I've gained more power.

Don't worry, it won't take too long.

Zhu Zhuqing's words completely dashed Xiao Xun'er's hopes.

"I see!"

Xiao Xun'er became somewhat dejected.

She also knew that Zhu Zhuqing was a person of her word, and that she couldn't change her mind with just a few words.

She knew all too well how strong-willed Zhu Zhuqing was.

She also understood the character of the people from her Ancient Clan. If Zhu Zhuqing really went to the Ancient Clan with her, given her personality, she might start fighting with the clan's powerful members on the very first day.

Then until a stronger one appears and resolves it.

Her Sister Zhuqing must not be able to stand those rules and regulations.

But if we don't go to the Ancient Clan with her, it's still too dangerous for her to be alone in Central Plains.

Therefore, instead of forcibly taking Sister Zhuqing away, it would be better to let her grow here for a longer period of time.

Once she returns to the Ancient Clan and activates her bloodline, and with the Ancient Clan's abundant resources, she can rapidly improve her cultivation level, she will definitely be able to surpass Sister Zhuqing by then.

That's when she'll be able to protect her.

Thinking of something happy, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but giggle.
