Xiao Zhan Was Still Taken Away

After settling matters here, Xiao Tian eagerly ran over to Yun Yun to claim his reward.

"Yun'er, what do you think? Didn't I satisfy you?" Xiao Tian asked as he ran to Yun Yun's side.

Watching Xiao Tian scamper over with an expression that practically begged for praise, Yun Yun covered her mouth and laughed happily. This little rascal—if I really praise him, won't his tail shoot straight into the sky? But if I don't, he really did do well.

This put Yun Yun in a difficult position. Looking at Xiao Tian's smug face, she decided that no, she absolutely could not praise him! She then said, "You were quite imposing just now, weren't you? You even dared to threaten my teacher?"

Cough, cough. Xiao Tian, who had been waiting for Yun Yun's praise, nearly coughed up blood. Damn it, this was awkward again. He should have been more polite just now!

He then looked at Yun Yun resentfully as three kinds of flames ignited behind him, clearly meaning, I don't care. If you don't give me a reward today, this isn't over!

Yun Yun understood that Xiao Tian was acting shameless again. But if she truly gave him no reward at all, who knew what this bastard would do? Left with no choice, she compromised and walked over. Looking at Xiao Tian, she said, "Then what reward do you want? If it isn't excessive, I'll agree."

"Come over and give me a kiss, and I'll be satisfied," Xiao Tian said with a wicked grin.

Yun Yun never allowed him to be intimate with her in public. How could that be acceptable? It was as if he were too shameful to be seen. Now that he had finally found an opportunity, naturally he could not let it slip away.

Hearing this, Yun Yun's pretty face flushed. Couldn't they do it after they got back? But in the next instant, she froze, and her face turned scarlet. In full view of everyone, Xiao Tian had pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her. Moreover, she was restrained so thoroughly that she could not move. This bastard had definitely done it on purpose.

Nalan Yanran, standing nearby, also blushed. What was going on? Weren't they talking just a moment ago? Was her teacher's skin really this thick? She was being so openly intimate with Xiao Tian!!?

The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect were all heartbroken. They were so damn jealous of that guy! He actually dared to be so disrespectful to their Sect Master, and in front of such a crowd at that.

Yun Shan on the platform was quite satisfied. Although Xiao Tian had threatened him just now, he had also seen Xiao Yan's potential. It was best not to provoke such a young man. They might not fear him now, but if they failed to kill him in one strike and allowed him to grow, then things would become dangerous!

Jia Xing Tian and the others were all stunned, thinking that the Misty Cloud Sect might truly become the sole dominant power in the Jia Ma Empire in the future. After all, they had all seen Xiao Tian suddenly appear in the arena, effortlessly neutralize the attacks of the two men, and ensure that not even the slightest damage was done to the Misty Cloud Sect.

A moment later, Xiao Tian reluctantly released Yun Yun's delicate lips. Looking at her deeply flushed little face, he grew excited again and forcefully pulled her back into his arms. Yun Yun no longer had any ability to resist and could only let Xiao Tian do as he pleased.

"Yun'er, you're so beautiful," Xiao Tian said with a smile.

"Shameless rogue! Perverted bastard! How could you do this?" Yun Yun said after recovering for a while.

Xiao Tian said, "Keep talking, and I won't be polite." Hearing this, Yun Yun decisively shut her mouth. Although Xiao Tian usually listened to her, when he was aroused, he became incredibly domineering. He simply would not accept refusal~

Seeing that the beauty in his arms had become very obedient, Xiao Tian said to Nalan Yanran, "Now, do you understand why I asked you that question that day?"

Nalan Yanran said, "I understand. He really is very strong, and I'm far inferior to him. But my marriage is my own decision, and I still won't regret it."

Xiao Tian smiled. It seemed that if Xiao Yan had not helped Nalan Yanran several times in her previous life, she would not have liked him either. The two of them would merely have been strangers, so he said nothing more.

Xiao Tian also knew that when Nalan Yanran advanced to the Dou Ling realm, she would enter the Misty Cloud Sect's inheritance ground, the Gate of Life and Death. Once she emerged, she would be able to break through to the Dou Emperor realm. Thus, he did not ask her to go to Jia Nan Academy.

"I'll be leaving for Jia Nan Academy in a few days. Do you want to come with me? Think it over yourself. I'll wait for your answer." After saying that, Xiao Tian waved toward Lu Man and the others above. "Let's go. Everything is settled."

Lu Man brought Qing Lin and Ya Fei down, heading toward the foot of the mountain. The major factions that had come to watch the battle also descended one after another. Although Nalan Yanran had lost, with that monstrously powerful expert present, no one dared to spout any nonsense.

Yun Shan said to Yun Yun, "Yun'er, if you want to go with Xiao Tian, then go. Perhaps you may reach an even higher realm in the future. The Misty Cloud Sect has me, and I will personally instruct Yanran as well."

"Teacher, I..." Yun Yun began, but Yun Shan interrupted, "No need to say more. For your teacher, being able to see you reach greater heights is a good thing for me and for the Misty Cloud Sect." "Yes, Teacher. I understand." Yun Yun nodded.

Most importantly, Yun Yun thought that if she did not follow him, who knew how many more sisters that little bastard Xiao Tian would bring back for her. She had to keep an eye on him!

Two days later, Xiao Yan returned to the Xiao Family and discovered that it had been severely devastated! The force that had ravaged the Xiao Family was unknown. If Xiao Zhan had not fled and lured away those assassins, the Xiao Family might already have been wiped out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was consumed by rage. Damn it! Who was it? If I find you, I'll wipe out your entire family! At that moment, the First Elder walked over and said, "Third Young Master, this is the family jade pendant the Clan Leader asked me to give you before he left. Keep it with you. As long as the light within the jade pendant does not disappear, it proves that the Clan Leader is still alive."

Afterward, someone reported that the Oba Family had begun seizing the Xiao Family's territory. Xiao Yan immediately led men to massacre the entire Oba Family. Then Xiao Yan thought of Xiao Tian and flew toward the imperial capital at full speed.

A day later, Xiao Tian was flirting with Ya Fei when he sensed Xiao Yan's rapidly approaching aura and froze. What was going on? He was actually flying here at full speed by borrowing Old Yao's power?

Xiao Tian explained it briefly to Ya Fei, then teleported to Xiao Yan, who was flying at full speed.

"Xiao Yan, why are you here? And why did you come at such speed? Did something happen?" Xiao Tian asked.

Upon seeing Xiao Tian, Xiao Yan said, "Xiao Tian, the Xiao Family has been destroyed!!! My father has been taken away! That's why I came to find you—I want you to help me."

"I never expected that even after stopping the Misty Cloud Sect, I still couldn't stop the Soul Clan from attacking the Xiao Family," Xiao Tian said helplessly.

"Although he did not really care about the Xiao Family and was merely saying it casually, he truly had not expected the Soul Clan to still send people to capture Xiao Zhan."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan said excitedly, "You know who took my father?!" Without a mother, Xiao Zhan had practically acted as both father and mother to Xiao Yan since childhood.

"Yes. The ones who took your father are the Soul Clan, the enemies of our Xiao Clan. But with your current strength, trying to save him would be no different from seeking death. The same goes for me," Xiao Tian said calmly.

Xiao Tian said, "If you want to understand the Soul Clan, ask your teacher. I think he knows far more than I do."

At this moment, Old Yao floated out from Xiao Yan's ring. "I didn't expect this, little brat. You actually knew of my existence! And it seems you've known for quite some time."

"Yes. When his Dou Qi began disappearing for no reason, I already knew. The reason I didn't tell him was to make him understand that geniuses cannot shine too brightly. Before you have the strength to protect yourself, do not expose your strength to others."

(The system thought: Xiao Tian, the number one shameless acting emperor of the Dou Qi Continent. Damn it, when Xiao Yan lost his Dou Qi, you hadn't even transmigrated yet. Because he had been blocked so many times, if Xiao Tian did not seek him out, he would not come out himself. Who knew when he would be locked in the dark room again!!)

Afterward, Xiao Yan listened to Old Yao's tragic story—how he had been betrayed by his disciple and ultimately captured by the Soul Hall.

"Do you understand now? Before you become a Dou Sheng, don't even think about saving your father. Doing so would only harm this tragic old man," Xiao Tian said in the same calm tone.

Only then did Xiao Yan understand the importance of this jade, as well as the matter of the ancient clans. He had also learned of the Soul Clan's strength. Dou Zongs were as common as dogs, and Dou Zuns roamed everywhere!

Xiao Yan asked, "Then how did you know about all this, Xiao Tian? Why didn't I know? It seemed even my father didn't know!"

"That was because I accidentally came into contact with the soul of an ancestor. Afterward, I inherited his legacy, even including his cultivation technique. The technique you and I cultivate is the same, though I don't know where you got yours," Xiao Tian said in a deep, pretentious manner.

He had decided that matters as dangerous as fighting the Soul Clan should be left to Xiao Yan. Besides, wouldn't this also explain the cultivation technique? Oh, hahaha~ With girls to keep him company, why train himself to death like that brute Xiao Yan? Xiao Yan could not die anyway, so he could slowly fight the Soul Clan himself.

Old Yao said, "I gave him his cultivation technique. I truly didn't expect that your Xiao Family had obtained this technique before as well!"

"Yes, and it was also because he told me about places where Heavenly Flames could be found that I obtained these Heavenly Flames," Xiao Tian said.

"What kind of flame is your purple Heavenly Flame? I'm very curious. I've never heard of such a Heavenly Flame on the ranking," Yao Chen said doubtfully.

"It's the beast flame of the Purple Crystal Lion King, but I refined an Earth Fire Lotus Seed into it and fused them together. That's why its power is comparable to the flame ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!" Xiao Tian said calmly.

Xiao Tian said, "Old Yao, do you have any way to treat the Calamity Poison Body? A friend of mine possesses one, and I've been trying to save her. Since you're a ninth-tier Alchemist, you must have a solution, right?"

"Haha, little fellow, you're quite lucky. I really do have a method for treating the Calamity Poison Body." As he spoke, he took out the formula for refining the Poison Pill.

Xiao Tian accepted it and said, "I didn't expect you really had it. Thank you! To repay you, once I go to Jia Nan Academy, I'll help you deal with that bastard Han Feng if I get the chance!"

"Then this old man thanks you. Are you going to Jia Nan Academy for the Falling Heart Flame?" Old Yao asked.

Xiao Tian said, "The Falling Heart Flame is beneath Jia Nan Academy. There are two of them. As payment for the formula, I'll help you find the other one."

Xiao Yan said, "Thank you, Xiao Tian!" "No need. Go back and make arrangements for the Xiao Family. Have them leave Wutan City—whether they go find your elder brother or somewhere else. The Soul Clan may return to the Xiao Family to search for the Tuoshe Ancient Jade on you!" Xiao Tian said.

"I understand. See you at Jia Nan Academy!" Xiao Yan said.

Watching Xiao Yan walk away, Xiao Tian smiled. "Keep it up, young man. I won't screw you over, but I might not help you either. As for where your path leads, that's up to you."

As Xiao Yan headed back, he was still grateful to Xiao Tian. Even regarding Xun'er's choice, he no longer felt any resentment—only blessings. Because of his mission, he was destined to cultivate diligently. How could he possibly have time for romance?

If Xiao Tian knew Xiao Yan was thinking this way, he would definitely think, Has Xiao Yan been transmigrated for so long that he's become a native?

I think that as long as Xiao Yan no longer had that emotional flaw, then there was nothing wrong with him. So there was no need to keep mocking him. After all, he was once the hot-blooded protagonist of the original story, and a memory for an entire generation!
