Hearing Xiao Yan announce his identity naturally attracted many whispers.
"Xiao Clan? What is this Hidden Family? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Xiao Clan. Alas, this Xiao Clan is Dou God Clan."
"What! Dou God Clan?!"
As soon as this news came out, many people in the crowd were in an uproar. For a while, countless people were discussing this matter, and everyone could not help but be moved by it.
Dou God Clan! These four words represent the authority of the entire Dou Qi Continent. Look at the Ancient Clan in front of you, isn't it one of the Dou God Clan! I don't know when it started, but suddenly Dou God Clan began to hide. Except for some special ceremonies and the terrifying birth of Tianbao, they spent most of their time practicing in their own world and almost never got involved in the Dou Qi Continent's affairs.
But no force dares to ignore the existence of these families.
Just because they don't care about the world, it doesn't mean they are dead. If they take action, they will definitely be destroyed!
And this Xiao Yan in front of him is actually the young patriarch of the Dou God Clan?!! This status is frighteningly noble!
But some people find it strange. Logically speaking, with Xiao Yan's status, Ling Quan wouldn't even have time to kneel down, so how could he dare to offend him.
"It's strange, doesn't Dou God Clan only have seven races: ancient, soul, thunder, fire, medicine, stone, and spirit? There is no Xiao Clan."
"Alas, it used to be Dou God Clan. Thousands of years ago, this Xiao Clan fell into decline. Even the Xiao Realm they owned had fallen from the void."
"Declined?"
"Some people say that they were destroyed by the Hun Clan after the battle with the Hun Clan. Some people say that several major Dou God Clans joined forces to destroy them. Some people say that their own Dou God Bloodline was exhausted and finally declined. There are different opinions. But what is certain is that Xiao Clan's Xiao Realm has fallen from the sky and turned into ruins, and Dou God Clan has no Xiao Clan."
At Nine Star Dou Zun, the older generation with white hair explained the reason.
For a time, many of the younger generation suddenly realized that he was the young patriarch of the Dou God Clan.
When they knew that Xiao Yan was just the declining young patriarch of the Dou God Clan, many people showed a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
"Tch, I thought he was really the young patriarch of the Dou God Clan, but it turns out he is just a declining family."
"No wonder he is looked down upon by a commander."
Faced with the ridicule and sarcasm of some people, Xiao Yan didn't care at all. After all, what they said was true. Xiao Clan has indeed declined and is no longer the Dou God Clan it once was.
The current Xiao Clan is just a family of the Flame Alliance.
However, Xiao Yan does not say this without intention. Others can look down on the Xiao Clan and think it has declined, but Ancient Clan cannot.
It can be heard from Xun'er's conversation that the covenant between the Ancient Clan and Xiao Clan is still valid, and Xiao Clan also has a share of Heaven Tomb's quota. In other words, here at the Ancient Clan, Xiao Clan's identity as the young patriarch is recognized, otherwise their Ancient Clan's claim to be in charge of Heaven Tomb together with the Xiao Clan would be self-defeating.
And obviously, this Fifth Commander also understands this.
In ancient times, Xiao Clan and Ancient Clan were allies. If he didn't recognize Xiao Yan's identity here, wouldn't he say that they, Ancient Clan, were treacherous and added insult to injury?! Even if Xiao Clan is dead in name only, there are some things you can't really treat him as dead!
Xiao Yan This is a conspiracy! In full view of the public, you are forced to admit it.
"My Excellency Black Submerging Army Fifth Commander Zhuang Pei, I don't know if it's the young clan leader Xiao Clan who has come to greet me." Zhuang Pei cupped his hands with a smile on his face. No matter what, he couldn't let Ancient Clan be accused of betraying his allies!
Even though this Xiao Clan has completely declined and is not worth mentioning, it has always been an alliance with the Ancient Clan.
Xiao Yan smiled. He had expected this result. Then Xiao Yan glanced at Ling Quan who fell on the ground and said, "This is the commander Ling Quan."
"Come here, Ling Quan is bending the law for personal gain and using force against the guest. Take him to the elders to deal with him!" Zhuang Pei waved his hand, and two Black Submerging Army took Ling Quan away.
He was originally Black Submerging Army Eight Great Commanders, and his strength had not yet reached Dou Zun. Many people had long been dissatisfied with his position and coveted his position as leader. Now that Xiao Yan is being targeted like this, it is estimated that after Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Ling Quan's leadership position will no longer be guaranteed, and he will eventually spend his life doing nothing.
"Chief Xiao, please come this way! Please stay at Ancient Holy City for a few days. Then someone will pick you up and go to the Gu Realm."
Naturally, Xiao Yan didn't care whether a clown like Ling Quan was dead or alive, and just walked towards Ancient Holy City in a swagger.
Some of the younger generation may not understand this result, but the older generation all know it. Ancient Clan is obviously not willing to bear the reputation of treachery just for the sake of a mere Ling Quan.
Of course, some people read different information.
"Look at this, the young patriarch Xiao Clan is here for Heaven Tomb."
"The quota of Heaven Tomb has always been fixed, and the quota of the Xiao Clan has been held by the Ancient Clan for thousands of years. The four quotas were divided up by Four Great Commanders of the Ancient Clan long ago, and now there is suddenly one more person."
"Haha, I'm afraid Coming-of-Age Ceremony will be very interesting this time."
Looking at the back of Xiao Yan strolling in the courtyard, Zhuang Pei shook his head and sighed, "As expected of the man who was favored by the lady, he is indeed smart, and even I can't see through his strength."
"But... I just don't know if you can deal with that guy Gu Yao."
Although Xiao Yan is not wearing Soul Robe, he uses Soul Power to block the power. Not to mention just a Three-Star Dou Venerable, even Ban Sheng cannot see through Xiao Yan's current real Cultivation Level.
Passing through the city wall, Xiao Yan entered this city filled with ancient atmosphere.
Today's Ancient Holy City is relatively lively, and you can often see some people on the street. Although there is not as terrifying a flow of people as in other cities, most of the people who can walk in this city are strong men with considerable strength.
"The weakest ones are the Dou Wang juniors who followed the older generation."
After Xiao Yan heard some information through soul perception, he knew that Gu Realm would be opened in three days. Those who arrive first can stay at Ancient Holy City's inn and wait for the start.
However, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry and wandered around Ancient Holy City leisurely, enjoying the unique atmosphere.
"I wonder if Xun'er Nizi has been hanging out here Ancient Holy City since she left Jia Nan Academy."
Originally Xiao Yan wanted to buy some jewelry as a gift to Xun'er. When Wutan City was there, Xiao Yan and Xun'er often went shopping at Wutan City's market.
Although the things Wutan City made at that time were very rough, each piece was carefully selected by the two of them, and the memories in them are extremely precious.
But it is a pity that Xiao Yan was not selected in the end, mainly because nothing here worked.
Xiao Yan walked and walked, and after an hour, they arrived at the center of Ancient Holy City. Here, a manor loft covering an extremely vast area stood tall. At the entrance of the manor, there were an endless stream of people coming and going. The powerful aura that filled the air made Xiao Yan and others look slightly sideways.
With the Ancient Clan's Gu Jade Token, Xiao Yan naturally entered it, and then, under the leadership of a pretty maid, obtained the right to use a courtyard.
At this time, in the Gu Realm, on top of the cloud-shrouded cloud peaks, a woman in elegant clothes was sitting cross-legged in the thick clouds and mist. Her beautiful face made her look like a fairy, which could only be seen from a distance.
This is naturally Ancient Clan daughter, Gu Xun Er.
"Miss, Young Master Xiao Yan has arrived at Ancient Holy City." An old figure appeared on the mountain peak and said respectfully to the woman.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he noticed that the space in front of him was slightly rippled and the clouds were billowing, which showed how excited Xun'er was in her heart. Even though she tried her best to hide it, the moment she heard Xiao Yan's name, Dou Qi couldn't help but boil.
When he raised his head, Ling Ying would see Xun'er appearing quietly in front of him, with a rare smile on his beautiful face that was very indifferent to everything.
There was a hint of a woman's shy smile in this happiness, which made the beautiful scenery around her dim in an instant. Who else in the world could make her smile like this except Xiao Yan.
"Elder Ling, Xiao Yan Gege Is he okay?" The girl's soft voice seemed to have a special Demonic Power, and even the clouds and mist in this space were rippled by it.
"Haha, Miss, you are making things too difficult for me. Now Young Master Xiao Yan is something that an old man like me can no longer see through. But, I heard that he suppressed Ling Quan with just one finger. His strength is at least Four-Star Dou Zun or above."
The old man sighed, with an unconcealed exclamation in his tone. When he was ordered to protect Xiao Yan, although Xiao Yan had shown great talent, his strength was only that of Dou Zhe. Now, in just over ten years, he has far surpassed him.
"Miss, your taste is indeed not bad."
Hearing Ling Ying's exclamation, Xun'er also smiled slightly. She has always blindly trusted Xiao Yan.
"Whether Xiao Yan Gege is a genius or a waste, I like him and no one can change him." Xun'er stood on the top of the mountain, looking from a distance, waiting for the person in his heart to arrive.
During the two days of Ancient Holy City, Xiao Yan had been practicing cross-legged and did not inquire about any information about the Ancient Clan, Black Submerging Army, Ancient Clan's attitude towards him, or Heaven Tomb.
Of course, Xiao Yan had no intention of stirring up the situation, but the situation was moved by him.
Now the entire Ancient Holy City, even Gu Realm, has become a mess because of the arrival of Xiao Yan.
Some people were quarreling over the Heaven Tomb quota, and some were quarreling over the ancient covenant between the Xiao Clan and Ancient Clan. Of course, there were also people who were quarreling over the relationship between Xun'er and Xiao Yan.
It's just that these have nothing to do with Xiao Yan.
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yan exhaled and then stood up and left the courtyard. After all, he was also a human being and had to eat!
In a luxurious wine shop, Xiao Yan is enjoying delicious food alone.
"As expected of the food that Ancient Clan carefully prepared for the guests, it is indeed good." Xiao Yan took a sip of sake, and a spiciness flowed down his throat. In an instant, a burst of aroma was stimulated, bringing a new feeling.
Xiao Yan's excellent soul perception naturally knew that there were many unfriendly eyes on him around him, but he didn't care yet.
"Is he that Xiao Yan?" A man in green robe with a handsome face glanced at Xiao Yan's back, and lightly tapped the railing with his unusually long palm.
"Third brother, he is the Xiao Yan that the young lady said. Now he is in the Middle Continent, and his reputation is not small. Now that I am Ancient Clan, his arrogance has not diminished at all, and he has not taken us seriously." A voice on the side replied with a sneer. It turned out to be Ling Quan.
After two days of recuperation, Ling Quan also recovered. After all, Xiao Yan did not make any heavy moves.
"Haha, although we are not worthy of the young lady, we are not worthy of a young master from a declining family!" The man in green smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his smile.
"Moreover, many elders in the clan don't want him to appear."
Bang! As soon as he finished speaking, on a competition stage below, the two fighting figures also decided the winner and retreated. Immediately, a loud voice pulled all the eyes, and a lean figure jumped up and shouted loudly.
"The following are discussing, Black Submerging Army, the third commander, Yang Hao, and Xiao Clan, the young patriarch, Xiao Yan!"
For a moment, all the sounds in the originally noisy wine shop suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the man in green robe and Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the corner and enjoying the food by himself.
Even if you don't know Xiao Yan, it will be difficult not to know him in the past few days.
But in the face of this little trick, Xiao Yan seemed not to hear it, ignored it, and continued to eat his own food.
He has now learned how to find his own tranquility in this noisy world.
If every clown jumped out and called twice, and he had to respond one by one, wouldn't he be very busy?
"Yang Hao, don't mess around. Xiao Yan is also the young patriarch of the Xiao Clan. Even if Xiao Clan exists in name only now, There are still some elders in the clan who have been friends with the Xiao Clan, or even received favors from him." Fifth Commander Zhuang Pei on the side frowned and warned.
"Haha, Zhuang Pei, we are just comparing notes, and I, Ancient Clan, am a martial artist. Isn't it just right to use martial arts to make friends?" Yang Hao smiled faintly and said secretly, "You too You should know that the appearance of Xiao Yan means that the quota for Heaven Tomb will be reduced by one or even two. Even if there is no matter about the young lady, many elders do not want him to appear on Coming-of-Age Ceremony."
"Only the Xiao Clan that does not appear is the best Xiao Clan."
Zhuang Pei also frowned when he heard this. Of course, he also knew the current situation within the clan. The two quotas of the Xiao Clan Heaven Tomb had always been owned by the Ancient Clan. It was said that he was temporarily in charge of it, but now that Xiao Yan is back, it would naturally cause disputes if he takes back the quota, and no one is willing to give it back.
Yang Hao's figure flashed and appeared on the competition stage instantly. He looked towards the direction of Xiao Yan with a smile and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan, young patriarch, I have heard about the name for a long time. I wonder if I can give you some advice today?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Yan in silence. Among them, not only Ancient Clan people are there, but other Dou God Clan people are also sitting in other seats, just waiting to watch the show.
However, as the male lead, Xiao Yan, seemed not to hear it. By coincidence, a small insect happened to land on Xiao Yan's table. He waved his hand and said, "Where did the fly come from? It's here to disturb people."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the wine shop couldn't help but look at each other. This Xiao Yan was too arrogant. He didn't think that Xiao Clan was still the original Xiao Clan! Don't even look at the gap between the current Xiao Clan and Ancient Clan! If Xiao Clan is still the original Xiao Clan, everyone here will have to please him, the young patriarch! As soon as Xiao Yan said this, Yang Hao's face darkened, and he said solemnly, "Okay, what a Xiao Clan young patriarch. I want to see how much of Xiao Yan's skills you Xiao Yan have learned from Xiao Xuan!"
"Heavenly Fiend Qi-Shattering Claw!"
Dou Qi surged, Yang Hao laughed gloomily, the slender palm suddenly clenched, a strong wind formed in the palm, stamped the ground with the sole of his foot, and the figure appeared like lightning. In front of Xiao Yan, the sharp claw wind, like Heavenly Net, fiercely swept towards Xiao Yan. The fierce energy tore apart the space with dark traces.
"Five-Star Peak Dou Venerate!"
"This Yang Hao is worthy of being the third commander of the Black Submerging Army. He is indeed very strong, and Combat Technique is very skilled in training!"
Feeling the Yang Hao attacking from the side, Xiao Yan was still sitting on the chair. He picked up a new pair of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket with his left hand. Holding the chopsticks in his hand, his hands were like lightning. The chopsticks wrapped around Fallen Heart Flame suddenly caught the dog's paw that was stretched out to eat.
!!?
No matter how hard Yang Hao tried, he couldn't fight for it, as if he was suppressed by a big mountain.
"That's Heavenly Flames!"
"It's Fallen Heart Flame ranked fourteenth."
On the side, at a table with three men and one woman, these four people could see the flames on the Xiao Yan chopsticks at a glance. And the four of them are exactly Dou God Clan Yan Clan.
"Hey, if you want to eat, you can order it yourself. You Ancient Clan won't take out all the food stored in the house. It would be rude to just reach out." Xiao Yan said lightly, and then suddenly turned his hand with force, and with a click, Yang Hao's finger was broken. When he picked it up with his chopsticks, Fallen Heart Flame exploded and knocked it back several meters.
For a moment, a series of gasping sounds sounded in the wine shop.
"Hiss! What kind of strength is this Xiao Yan!"
"I don't know, he wrapped himself in Soul Power."
"But it's definitely not weaker than Five-Star Dou Venerable!"
Zhuang Pei on the side frowned and said in a deep voice, "His Soul Power is very strong, and he instantly saw through Combat Technique's weaknesses. Yang Hao is no match for him."
Looking at his severed finger, Yang Hao looked gloomy and terrifying, and with a buzz, a golden Clan Mark appeared on his forehead!
"This Yang Hao is crazy, he even used Clan Mark!"
"Ha, my pride is hurt. But this is also the background of the Dou God Clan. Without Dou God Bloodline, it would be a bit worse after all."
"I'll fight you!!"
Yang Hao's Cultivation Level suddenly improved, from Five-Star Peak Dou Venerate to the peak of six stars in one breath! You know, even Skyfire Three Mysterious Change with Heavenly Flames cannot improve Dou Zun level so much. Just the improvement of Cultivation Level is no less than the secret method of many Quasi-Heaven Rank.
And the real power of the Ancient Clan and Clan Mark doesn't stop there!
Yang Hao roared loudly, and the handprints condensed instantly. The handprint Xiao Yan was extremely familiar, it was Emperor Seal Technique!
"Earth Overturning Seal!!"
