Who is qualified to prove it, am I not qualified enough, young master?

Xuan You clasped his fists and knelt, his head bowed as if offering a dying man's last support, his final entrustment.

"If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault."

"For Tian'er to commit such an outrageous act, it is naturally inseparable from me, his father."

"But my good child Ning'er is innocent."

"I only beg Young Master Su, for the sake of these meager gifts, to spare Ning'er's life. From this day forward, your unworthy son is willing to go through fire and water for Young Master Su, without hesitation!"

Su Chenxiao was silent for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn't a good person.

But perhaps seeing the last vestiges of parental love in Xuan You, he couldn't help but think of his own family.

Su Chenxiao took the Storage Ring and nodded calmly.

"Understood."

"Go."

Xuan You's body trembled, his face filled with endless gratitude.

He knew that to protect his youngest son's life amidst countless Ancient Clans and Immortal Dao Lineages, There was only this young master from the Imperial Clan Su Family!

"Father... don't..." Xuan Ning felt his body weaken, pleading desperately from behind.

Xuan You slowly stood up, cast one last look at Xuan Ning, then struck him unconscious with a burst of qi. He bowed one last time to Su Chenxiao.

"Young Master Su, farewell!"

Su Chenxiao nodded without speaking. He watched Xuan You's tall, departing figure, his eyes flickering as he toyed with the Storage Ring in his hand, muttering to himself.

"Xuan Aotian..."

"You have a good father who is willing to bear all the blame for you."

"But why can't you feel it?"

According to Xuan Aotian's script, the Xuan family had been nothing but kind to him from beginning to end.

It was merely his one-sided belief that the Xuan family owed him everything.

Everything that happened today had been recorded by him with a recording stone.

Su Chenxiao was very curious to see.

When this Destined Protagonist faced death and despair, if he saw this scene, would he regret it?

Su Chenxiao slowly stood up and walked towards the hall's exit.

Outside the hall, the sky was covered in dark, heavy clouds, as if lightning and thunder were brewing for an impending storm.

At this moment, outside the Xuan Family Hall.

The Xuan Clan Head, Xuan You, and a group of elders gazed at the menacing figures from various clans approaching in the sky.

"Xuan You! Your son Xuan Aotian killed my youngest son, Qi Ao! My Ao'er suffered this unjust disaster! I, Qi Kong, have only this one son!

If your Xuan family doesn't give me an explanation today, my Ancient Clan Qi Family will be irreconcilable with you!!"

Upon seeing Xuan You appear, an elder above, his face aged and filled with rage, roared.

This was the Qi Family Head, Qi Kong.

He had his son late in life and doted on Qi Ao immensely since childhood. Now that Qi Ao was dead, he was more heartbroken than anyone present!

"My grandson also died by your son Xuan Aotian's hand! Your Xuan family colluded with the eerie beings of the Dark Era, do you intend to overturn the heavens?!"

"Today, we Ancient Clans will act on behalf of heaven, eradicating you traitors from the Hidden Ancient Clans, and stop you from further defiling the reputation of our Hidden Ancient Clans!!"

"Rumble!!"

Thunder flashed across the sky.

Under the terrifying pressure of thousands of people from Ancient Clans and Dao Lineages, the sky above the Xuan family seemed on the verge of collapse.

The Xuan family elders trembled, their faces filled with utter despair!

"Clan Head!"

Xuan You took a deep breath and said loudly to the unwelcome crowd.

"We, the Xuan family, admit to these matters!"

"If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault. As the father, I cannot escape responsibility for my son Aotian's actions!"

"I, Xuan You, am willing to atone with my death and offer all the Xuan family's resources as compensation, only begging you to spare the Xuan family a way to survive!"

"But to say that our Xuan family colluded with the eerie beings of the Dark Era is simply utter nonsense!!"

The person above was relentless.

"Death? Xuan You, with so many of us here, do you think your death alone will end this?"

"How could it be that easy?!"

"If we don't annihilate your entire clan today, it will be hard to quell the hatred in our hearts!"

"The Dark Era Ancient Scripture your son, Xuan Aotian, used in the Heavenly Ascent Arena was witnessed by thousands upon thousands of eyes!"

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say!?"

"If you claim your Xuan family has nothing to do with the bizarre creatures of the Dark Era, who can prove it? Who would believe you!"

Xuan You's eyes flickered. He knew.

Besides the members of the Ancient Clans that Xuan Aotian had killed, the majority present were merely using this as an excuse to eradicate the Xuan family and divide the spoils!

Just then, a faint voice suddenly echoed from the hall behind Xuan You.

"What if I, this young master, vouch for him?"

From the hall behind, Su Chenxiao walked out unhurriedly, Elder Qing following closely.

Xuan You's eyes lit up, and he cupped his fists in gratitude.

"Young Master Su, thank you."

Qi Kong, the Clan Head of the Qi Family standing above, frowned and said coldly.

"You vouch for him? A brash young whelp still wet behind the ears, who do you think you are?"

But as soon as he spoke, the expressions of the other Ancient Clan members beside him suddenly changed, as if they had thought of something.

Several Qi Family elders gasped, their faces ashen, and they quickly went to Qi Kong's side to whisper something in his ear.

"Clan Head! Stop talking! That person… he seems to be the son of the Imperial Clan Su Family's Clan Head…"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Kong's eyes widened instantly. He felt like dying, wishing he could tear his own foul mouth to shreds!

"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?! Are you trying to get this Clan Head killed?!"

He glared fiercely at the speaker, then quickly led a group of Qi Family elders scurrying down below, trembling all over, and said with utmost respect.

"I am Qi Kong, the Clan Head of the Ancient Clan Qi Family, greetings Young Master Su!"

The other Ancient Clan members also came down one after another, not daring to stand above him, descending like dumplings, each more eager than the last.

"Fuhai Dao Lineage, greetings Young Master!"

"Ancient Clan Zhao Family, greetings Young Master!"

"Ming Family greets Young Master. My little daughter often mentions your name to me after returning to the clan…"

These were all venerable figures, Clan Heads of Ancient Clans, who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, yet before Su Chenxiao, they were bowing and scraping like servants…

Su Chenxiao glanced at the people before him, his gaze settling on Qi Kong, the Clan Head of the Qi Family, and said calmly.

"I, this young master, will vouch for him. The matter of the Dark Era Ancient Scripture was entirely the doing of Xuan Aotian alone."

"Any problems?"

Qi Kong immediately lost all his previous arrogance. Submissively and with extreme self-preservation instincts, he lowered his head and said.

"Since it is Young Master Su who is testifying, then there can absolutely be no problem!"

"This matter was entirely the doing of Xuan Aotian alone!"

Su Chenxiao swept his gaze over the others.

"And you lot?"
