The Ancient Clan Xuan Family Is Finished, Final Last Words

But the thought that he had not only exposed his greatest trump card, but would also be hunted by countless people in the future, and that two supreme treasures had been stolen, made Xuan Aotian pound the ground in rage and roar.

"Damn it... damn it!!"

The voice in the Black Ancient Scripture sounded once more.

"You, just stay here and recover. After the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground opens and you obtain that item, leave this Dao Domain and find a deserted place to cultivate."

"Don't worry, with my help, you will become a Great Emperor within a hundred years!"

"Hehehehe..."

Crimson Meteor Burial Ground...

But he didn't have the Qualification Token to enter at all!

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a cold killing intent flashed in Xuan Aotian's eyes, and he said coldly.

"Things have come to this, what does it matter if I commit more sins?"

One day later.

Outside the main hall of the Hidden Ancient Clan Xuan Family.

A group of Xuan Family elders, their faces ashen, knelt outside the hall with their heads bowed, trembling and not daring to say a word.

The entire Xuan Family was enveloped in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

"Bang!"

Only the roars and the sound of porcelain being smashed could be heard from inside the main hall!

"That beast has truly gone mad!"

"He dares to keep something from the Dark Era on him!"

"Is he trying to doom our Ancient Clan Xuan Family!"

In the dark and oppressive main hall.

Xuan You was furious. Even with outsiders present, his face was almost contorted with madness as he smashed things.

It had been hundreds of years since he had lost his composure like this.

Su Chenxiao watched this scene quietly, sipping his tea leisurely beside him.

The charge of colluding with the strange beings of the Dark Era...

Apart from the various Imperial Clans that had once led the myriad realms to escape the darkness, they might be able to explain it away.

Let alone a small Xuan Family, even those super Dao Lineages and eternal Saint Clans with Great Emperors would not be able to bear it.

It was no wonder that Xuan You, as the Clan Head, would lose his composure like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Xuan You finally slumped onto the patriarch's seat as if his strength had been drained, his eyes vacant, laughing and crying.

"Hahaha! I, Xuan You, have been wise for a thousand years, but I never expected to have such a rebellious son!"

"Killing my own kin, possessing the Black Ancient Scripture that everyone wants to eliminate... Are these all retribution for my killing of my brother and relatives!?"

"Is it all retribution!!!"

Xuan Ning, who was kneeling outside the hall, could no longer hold back when he heard his father's roar and rushed in.

"Father!"

But when he entered, he was stunned.

The surroundings were in disarray. Xuan Ning had never seen his father so dejected and decadent.

At this moment, Xuan You, as the Clan Head of the Hidden Ancient Clan, had lost all his spirit, replaced only by a deep sense of guilt and regret.

Xuan Ning's nose stung, and he stepped forward, saying.

"Father!"

Xuan You looked at him and said weakly.

"It's Ning'er..."

"Ning'er... Your father has failed the ancestors and your mother's instructions..."

"The Xuan Family is finished..."

"It's ruined by my hands, Xuan You..."

Xuan Ning's body trembled.

In a daze, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

He couldn't imagine that his father, who had always been wise and majestic, and incomparably authoritative, would say such despairing words.

Xuan Ning knelt on the ground with a "plop". He crawled forward step by step, grabbing his father's hands and saying loudly.

"Father! Please stop talking like this!"

"Our Xuan Family is a Hidden Ancient Clan that has stood for ten thousand years in the myriad realms, and we will not be finished!"

Xuan You tilted his head back and closed his eyes. Lying in the position of the family head, he looked as if he had aged hundreds of years as he spoke with a sigh.

"An Ancient Clan? But my Xuan Family cannot bear the charge of attempting to restart the Dark Era."

"Last night, news came from the Ancient Clan Qi Family. Your brother, Xuan Aotian, launched a night raid on several Ancient Clan prodigies, killing Qi Ao and six other people from the Ancient Clans, and seizing their Qualification Tokens..."

"Soon, the Qi Family will lead a group of people, along with others from various Ancient Clan Dao Lineages, to demand an explanation..."

What?!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ning's breath hitched, and he let out a low growl through gritted teeth.

"Xuan Aotian! It's him again! It's him!"

"Father, he's going to ruin our Xuan Family!!"

Xuan You slowly opened his eyes, his expression haggard. He stared intently at Xuan Ning before him, placing a large hand on his son's face and speaking with utmost gentleness.

"Ning'er, I have failed you and your brother."

"After your mother left, I became the Clan Head and neglected to care for you both..."

"You've always blamed me for favoring your brother Aotian,"

"But the reason I indulged your brother Aotian so much was because, after your mother left, the last thing she asked me to do was to take good care of Tian'er..."

"Although you were a hostage for three years, your mother and I gave you all our love without reservation when you were young."

"As for Tian'er... he was suffering in another Dao Domain at the time..."

Tears streamed down Xuan Ning's face as he choked out, "Father! Please, don't talk about him anymore!"

Xuan You smiled and shook his head. He had never shown such a loving and gentle side before.

"Ning'er, your personality and looks both resemble your mother, while Tian'er takes after me..."

"I know I've always been a bad father in your eyes, but today, I want to tell you, Ning'er, that in my heart, you have always been the most obedient and sensible good child, and my pride!"

As if delivering his last words, Xuan You spoke at length.

Xuan Ning trembled uncontrollably. He had never gone a day without wanting his father's approval.

But absolutely not now.

Just then, the voice of the Xuan Family's Great Elder could be heard from outside the hall.

"Clan Head! Clan Head!"

"The Hidden Ancient Clan Qi Family, Zhao Family, Ming Family, and several Dao Lineage forces... they've arrived!!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan You nodded, his eyes flickering as he pondered something.

He gently stroked Xuan Ning's cheek, lovingly wiping away the tears from his eyes, and said softly.

"Ning'er, you've grown up."

"After I'm gone, if they are willing to spare our Xuan Family a sliver of hope, and our Xuan Family still exists, then you will be the Clan Head of the Xuan Family..."

Xuan Ning tightly gripped his father's arm, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, pleading desperately.

"Father, please, please stop talking..."

"Nothing will happen to you..."

Seeing his son in such a state, even the strong-willed Xuan You couldn't help but shed a tear from his deep eyes.

He realized now how much he had neglected his younger son after Tian'er returned.

But why did he realize it so late?

Xuan You smiled and shook his head, finally affectionately ruffling Xuan Ning's hair before standing up and walking towards Su Chenxiao, who was sitting quietly nearby.

"Young Master Su, within this, is all of my wealth, Xuan You's, and half of the resources accumulated by my Ancient Clan Xuan Family over the generations."

Su Chenxiao looked up at Xuan You before him and asked, "Patriarch Xuan, what do you mean by this?"
