In the distance, the Clan Head, Xuan You, led a group of clan elders to greet them.
Xuan You appeared very magnanimous. He stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I am Xuan You, the Clan Head of the Xuan Family. Greetings, Young Master Su."
"I heard rumors about you, Young Master, several years ago. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation. Young Master Su, you are indeed a man of distinguished bearing, possessing the aura of a dragon among men!"
The elders beside him also stepped forward with respectful expressions, offering their greetings appropriately.
[Name: Xuan You] [Title: Father of the Destined Protagonist, "Heartless Evil Emperor"] [Age: 2561, Personality: Capricious, Biased] [Identity: Clan Head of the Hidden Ancient Clan Xuan Family] [Realm: Saint Realm Seventh Layer]
Su Chenxiao smiled warmly and spoke.
"I am merely arriving here for the first time. Knowing that the Hidden Ancient Clan Xuan Family resides here, I decided to pay a visit."
"The Xuan Family's grand hall is magnificent. It truly lives up to the name of a Hidden Ancient Clan."
This Young Master Su had an extraordinary background. Despite being from an Imperial Clan, he was so polite, which immediately increased his favorability.
Xuan You chuckled heartily and said.
"You flatter me, Young Master!"
"Please, Young Master Su, follow me. I, Xuan You, will host a welcoming feast for you."
Xuan Family's Water Cloud Pavilion.
A pavilion stood in the center of a pond.
The surroundings were planted with fragrant heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The spiritual energy here was abundant, with clear waves, flowing water, picturesque mountains, and beautiful scenery.
Xuan You poured a pot of fragrant tea and slowly pushed it forward, smiling as he spoke.
"The domain where my Xuan Family is located is remote, just a small region with no special products. Young Master Su, please try this Origin Tea. It can consolidate your cultivation and allow you to faintly sense the power of the Great Dao."
Speaking of which, Xuan You looked at Elder Qing and Yuan Fengxiao beside Su Chenxiao and also offered them a cup.
"This must be Senior Shadow Guard of the Su Family, correct?"
"And this gentleman, the Sect Master of the Tianxuan Sect. I've long admired you."
Elder Qing remained unmoved, standing beside Su Chenxiao like a statue, not saying a word.
Yuan Fengxiao, however, was overwhelmed with flattery. He never imagined that the clan head of such a prominent ancient clan would recognize him, the sect master of a minor, insignificant sect.
Little did he know that with the capabilities of the Xuan Family, an ancient clan, his background had already been thoroughly investigated the moment he arrived.
Although he knew the other party was doing this out of respect for Young Master Su, Yuan Fengxiao still quickly cupped his fists and thanked him.
"You are too kind. Thank you for the tea, Clan Head Xuan!"
Xuan You smiled, then turned to Su Chenxiao and asked.
"Granny Qian of the Ming Family, an ancient clan, notified us some time ago. Young Master Su, you are here this time regarding the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground, aren't you?"
Su Chenxiao sipped his tea, his expression calm, and said with a faint smile.
"The Crimson Meteor Burial Ground opens once every thirty years and is controlled by the Xuan Family, an ancient clan."
"Such a treasure land, since I've come, I naturally want to take a look."
"However, the quota will require Clan Head Xuan's assistance."
Upon hearing this, Xuan You quickly waved his hands.
"Where did that come from, Young Master!"
"If you wish to enter the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground, let alone a single quota, even ten or a hundred, my Xuan Family would gladly offer them with both hands."
As he spoke, Xuan You took out a jade token from his storage ring and handed it over.
"What is this?" Su Chenxiao asked.
Xuan You: "Young Master Su, please keep it safe."
"This is a Qualification Token. The Crimson Meteor Burial Ground was accidentally discovered by my Xuan Family ancestors ten thousand years ago. Legend has it that it was a battlefield where the Great Emperor of the Dark Era fought against dark creatures, and there are opportunities from a Great Emperor within."
"My Xuan Family, an ancient clan, knows it's difficult to control, so we open a thousand quotas. Every thirty years, other Dao Lineage ancient clans can enter with this token."
"And this token is the qualification to enter the burial ground. Only by holding this item can one crush it to leave when the burial ground closes."
This Crimson Meteor Burial Ground has existed for tens of thousands of years. As a major source of income for the Xuan Family, a hidden ancient clan, the revenue generated solely from the distribution of these Qualification Tokens is immense each year.
If it weren't for the fear of depleting the resources within the burial ground by issuing too many, even if this young master from an Imperial Clan wanted a hundred Qualification Tokens, it wouldn't be a problem.
Su Chenxiao took the jade token.
The center of the jade token was clearly engraved with the character "Xuan."
Faintly, one could feel the incredibly profound array patterns flowing within it. Other than that, there was nothing different.
"Since that's the case, thank you, Clan Head Xuan."
Xuan You grinned, his mood exceptionally good as he said loudly.
"Young Master Su, you're too kind!"
While a Qualification Jade Token was something cultivators outside would scramble to obtain, for the Xuan Family, who distributed them, they had as many as they wanted.
If they could befriend this young master from an Imperial Clan with a terrifying background through this, it would be an incredibly worthwhile deal!
As if thinking of something, Xuan You continued.
"It's just, Young Master Su, this Crimson Meteor Burial Ground is a world unto itself. It's filled with countless fierce beasts and killing formations. Its location changes every thirty years, and only those below the King Sealing Realm can enter..."
"Your accompanying protector probably cannot enter."
"If you plan to go, Young Master Su, why not enter with my Xuan Family disciples? My Xuan Family knows quite a bit about this burial ground, and this way, we can help you seize opportunities!"
His only concern now was that this young master from an Imperial Clan might get hurt within the burial ground.
If such a thing were to happen, it would truly be disaster, not fortune, for his Ancient Clan Xuan Family.
Su Chenxiao's eyes flickered as he thought of Xuan Ning, the Destined Protagonist's younger brother, whom he had seen outside the hall earlier.
A smile curled up on his lips, and Su Chenxiao said with a light laugh.
"I wonder if Clan Head Xuan has anyone in mind?"
Xuan You's eyes lit up.
Compared to the opportunities within the burial ground, if they could enter together and have the honor of befriending this distinguished young master from an Imperial Clan, his future would be full of promise!
His first instinct was to offer this immense opportunity to curry favor with the Imperial Clan young master to his eldest son, Xuan Aotian.
But then, he suddenly thought of his younger son's displeased and resentful face...
Alas.
Xuan You sighed inwardly. Aotian's personality was too impulsive, and he refused to acknowledge him as his father.
Moreover, he had indeed neglected his younger son, Ning'er, for a long time...
After much deliberation, only his youngest son, Ning'er, had the strength that fit the requirements within the clan.
After all, he couldn't show favoritism.
So, Xuan You smiled and said.
"Young Master Su, my unworthy youngest son, Xuan Ning, can take on this important task."
"My youngest son, Xuan Ning, has just turned 20, and possesses the Two Forms Divine Body. Not only is his personality sensible and obedient, but his cultivation is also at the Undying Realm, Ninth Layer."
"If he has the good fortune to assist you, Young Master, I believe this matter in the burial ground will be twice as effective with half the effort!"
"What do you think, Young Master?" Xuan You asked tentatively.
Su Chenxiao drank his tea, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.
"So be it."
Xuan You's expression brightened, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and relief.
Fortunately, the other elders were not present, otherwise, accompanying Young Master Su might not have gone so smoothly.
Xuan You seized the opportunity and said.
"Since that's the case, then Young Master Su, I'll call my unworthy youngest son over now."
With that, Xuan You immediately used the divine messenger's telepathic communication to summon Xuan Ning from within the clan.
