Although they found it troublesome, they had traveled such a long distance that they couldn't possibly run back to the Ancient Clan without a word.

So Gu Qing Yang coughed and said, "I wonder if Brother Xiao Ming knows that the Xiao Family has a past relationship with our clan?"

"Oh?" Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and pointed to the Snake People Race leaders below. "So this is how you did it?"

Gu Qing Yang gave a dry laugh, feeling his face burning. They were indeed in the wrong; they had just mentioned having a past relationship and were immediately slapped in the face like this, which was really hard to handle.

After pausing for a moment, Gu Qing Yang casually took out a bottle of Green Jade Bottle and said, "We will compensate for this. This is a bottle of Sixth Rank healing pills, enough to heal them. What do you think, Brother Xiao Ming?"

It's not surprising that Gu Qing Yang possesses Sixth Rank pills; Sixth Rank are suitable for Dou Emperor, and Gu Qing Yang happens to be at that level.

To be honest, Xiao Ming wasn't surprised that Gu Qing Yang took out a seventh-grade pill.

With a flick of his wrist, he drew the pill from Gu Qing Yang's hand into his palm.

"In that case, I will thank Commander Gu Qing Yang on their behalf. By the way, if you have anything else to say, please continue."

"Here's the thing," Gu Qing Yang said, "Your Xiao Family ancestors made an agreement with our clan to give us the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Now that so much time has passed, shouldn't you return it to us?" He seemed completely unconcerned when mentioning the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

It's fortunate that Xiao Ming is a time traveler; if it were any other member of the Xiao Family, they probably wouldn't even know what he was saying.

The reason is simple: the Xiao Family had long forgotten its own family history.

No one knows the name of the Tou She Ancient God Jade; all that is known is that this jade can be used to sense whether the Clan Leader is dead or alive.

Of course, Xiao Zhan might know something.

Upon hearing Gu Qing Yang's words, Xiao Ming chuckled and pretended not to understand.

"The Ancient Clan are renowned throughout the entire continent. I left home to study when I was six years old and knew very little about my clan. I never imagined we had such a relationship."

"However, you've come to the wrong person asking for something like the Tou She Ancient God Jade. I don't have any of this so-called Tou She Ancient God Jade, and my Xiao Family doesn't have any special jade either. It should have been lost long ago. After all, before me, the strongest person in my Xiao Family was only Da Dou Shi. Even if your Ancient Clan had items that they coveted, they should have sold them or lost them long ago."

Gu Qing Yang certainly didn't believe Xiao Ming's words. How could such a valuable item as the Tou She Ancient God Jade be lost? Their Ancient Clan had sent Xun Er to search for it for over ten years, but they hadn't even found a trace of it. How could something so well hidden be lost? He simply didn't believe it.

Most of the Ancient Clan also believed this; the Tou She Ancient God Jade must have been hidden by the Xiao Family.

Xiao Family can't find it, then it might be on the strongest member of the Xiao Family. (Book 69, new)

Xiao Ming knew, of course, that these words wouldn't convince Gu Qing Yang and the others.

However, he was right about one thing: he did not actually possess the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

"Brother Xiao Ming is joking. How could you possibly lose something as important as the Tou She Ancient God Jade? I think it's best for us descendants to abide by the agreement set by our ancestors."

Xiao Ming naturally ignored these words. How could the Xiao Family possibly agree to give away the Tou She Ancient God Jade to the Ancient Clan for free?

The terms of this agreement were actually set by Xiao Xuan.

Before his death, Xiao Xuan found Gu Yuan, and the two made a pact: if Xiao Xuan advanced to Dou Di, he would give the Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade to Gu Yuan and help Gu Yuan become Dou Di as well.

If Xiao Xuan fails to advance, he will lend the two Heaven Tomb slots of the Xiao Clan to the Ancient Clan, hoping that the Ancient Clan can help the Xiao Clan and give outstanding juniors of the Xiao Clan the opportunity to visit him, the Old Ancestor of the Xiao Family Clan, at the Heaven Tomb.

After Gu Yuan obtained the quota for the Xiao Family's Heaven Tomb, with Gu Yuan's help, the Xiao Family Clan Leader successfully advanced to the Da Dou Shi level, possessing terrifying strength. He dominated Wu Tan City of the Jia Ma Empire with a mid- Mysterious Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Method.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Xiao Xuan knew that the Ancient Clan had not fully complied with the agreement, but if he knew that the Ancient Clan had not complied with the agreement at all, he would probably be so angry that he would kill all the Ancient Clan who entered the Heaven Tomb.

And so, Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan still had the nerve to covet the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

Xiao Ming would call them the most shameless of all!

Seemingly noticing Xiao Ming's faintly disdainful gaze, the young man behind Gu Qing Yang roared angrily, "Xiao Ming, don't be ungrateful! I admit you have some talent, but in front of our Ancient Clan, your talent is nothing!"

Ancient Race valued bloodline level most highly. Those with high bloodline levels would experience a terrifying leap in strength after being baptized at the Emperor Altar.

Therefore, these Ancient Race were all arrogant and haughty. Seeing that Xiao Ming was unyielding and showed little respect in his words, they naturally felt that Xiao Ming was very disrespectful to them.

"Hehe, compared to the entire Ancient Clan, my insignificant talent is indeed nothing. However, as for you..." Xiao Ming shook his head, showing a look of utter disdain.

Xiao Ming had no good feelings towards the Ancient Clan, and since this person had spoken rudely, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

"You..." the young man said angrily.

"Enough! Aren't you ashamed?" Gu Qing Yang scolded.

After being reprimanded by Gu Qing Yang, the young man immediately shut his mouth and dared not utter a word.

Gu Qing Yang's status within the clan was incomparable to theirs.

"Since Brother Xiao Ming doesn't want to hand over the Tou She Ancient God Jade, then so be it. However, it wouldn't be right for us to go back without fulfilling the mission assigned by our Clan Elder Council."

"You mean we're going to have a showdown?" Xiao Ming asked casually.

Gu Qing Yang's silence was clearly an admission of agreement.

"This Gu Qing Yang is quite confident. He still wants to make a move after knowing I'm Dou Zong. Tsk tsk, but with the Ancient Clan's resources, they might have a way to make him a match for Dou Zong."

The atmosphere between Xiao Ming and Gu Qing Yang's group became tense.

Zi Yan flew into the sky with the Human-Monster Puppet that Xiao Ming had just given her.

"Xiao Ming, are you going to fight? Leave this to me. It'll be a good opportunity to test this thing's fighting power." Zi Yan patted her flat chest and said confidently.

She was referring, of course, to the Human-Monster Puppet Xiao Ming had just finished refining.

Xiao Yi Xian also flew into the sky, her voice filled with coldness.

"Xiao Ming, should I take action?"

Xiao Yi Xian's heart is now entirely focused on Xiao Ming, and she is extremely disgusted by these unwelcome guests who have come to her door without warning.

Even Medusa flew into the sky; she still remembered how these people had injured her people.

"No need, let me do it." Xiao Ming, placing his right hand on Xiao Yi Xian's soft hand.

The Ancient Clan has many methods; if Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan were to intervene, they might get injured.
