Xiao Yuan Prepares a Big Show for the Ancient Clan

Upon entering the bamboo house, Xiao Yuan sat down on a bamboo chair at Elder Tongxuan's suggestion.

"Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan, please don't be angry. Ancient Clan have their Ancient Clan rules. They are just a bit old-fashioned and have no ill intentions."

Elder Tongxuan said with a smile.

"I don't believe what the elder says. That Gu Yao didn't even bother to hide his killing intent. Although my Xiao Clan has declined, what right does a mere Eight Star Dou Zun have to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, not entirely convinced by Elder Tongxuan's conciliatory words.

"Although the Xiao Clan has declined, it is not one to be bullied or slaughtered at will. What happened today was nothing more than them bringing shame upon themselves. But Elder, guess how many more times this will happen before some people in the Ancient Clan will stop behaving themselves?"

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he casually waved his hand, and a figure in black robes appeared beside him.

The smile on Elder Tongxuan's face froze instantly. He could sense that the person next to Xiao Yuan was no less powerful than him!

"Of course, the Ancient Clan can also take advantage of the fact that my Xiao Clan has no one to rely on. They can just send out a Dou Sheng to secretly control me. What does Elder Tongxuan think?"

Xiao Yuan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly.

"Oh, no, we also need to bring my teacher here, after all, he is now Ninth Grade Alchemist, a Medicine Saint."

And also my Aunt Xuan, and my two senior uncles Xuan Kongzi and Heavenly Lightning.

It would be best to also subdue Xiao Yan.

Seeing that Elder Tongxuan remained silent, Xiao Yuan continued.

"By the way, I also have some connections with the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon. Do you want to capture him as well?"

Xiao Yuan flipped his hand, revealing a purple-gold Dragon Mark.

"Oh, and there's also Mang Qianchi from our Jia Nan Academy. I don't think he would stand by and watch someone die."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he also revealed the Black Demon Lightning.

"I heard you also want the Tou She Ancient God Jade, which is on me. Do you want it? I feel it's not safe for me to keep it; it's easy for the Soul Clan to snatch it away. Why don't you make your move first?"

Listening to Xiao Yuan's incessant chatter, recounting the forces behind him with such familiarity, Elder Tongxuan was momentarily drenched in sweat.

Even Ancient Clan cannot provoke a Ninth Grade Alchemist, the Danta, or the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe at the same time!

Moreover, putting all that aside, they wouldn't dare to really attack Xiao Yan alone.

Xun'er's attitude was very clear. As the most outstanding young generation of the Ancient Clan, her status was also very important to the Ancient Clan.

If anything happens to Xiao Yan, Xun'er will definitely explode.

At that time, the entire Ancient Clan will be thrown into turmoil.

As for Xiao Yuan in front of him, the fact that he has awakened the Dou Emperor Bloodline and condensed the Clan Mark is enough to make him a heavyweight.

If the one inside the Heavenly Tomb finds out that they've harmed the only member of the Xiao Clan with an awakened bloodline, will the Ancient Clan still be allowed into the Heavenly Tomb? You see, once a bloodline of this level dies, it's hard to say about others, but someone of Xiao Xuan's level would definitely be able to sense it.

At the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, in this era without Dou Di, one can certainly be considered the most powerful expert!

It's normal to have some connection between blood vessels.

Besides, Xun'er is the clan leader's daughter. Even the clan leader didn't say it was unacceptable, so it's not up to the lower-ups to point fingers. She deserves to be scolded.

On the contrary, it made him much less imposing in front of Xiao Yuan, which was a real headache.

"Hehe, Young Clan Leader, what are you saying? How could my Ancient Clan do such a thing?"

Elder Tongxuan could only force a smile and speak kindly.

"I also think that the Ancient Clan shouldn't be like this now."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Speaking of which, Elder Tongxuan might still recognize this person."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over the black-robed figure standing beside him.

The man in black robes slowly removed the robe that covered his face.

"Gu You!"

Upon seeing the face, Elder Tongxuan was startled, and the bamboo chair beneath him shattered, unleashing a terrifying aura.

"Don't worry, it's just a puppet."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, Gu You knelt down beside him.

"You killed him?"

Elder Tongxuan felt that he could no longer understand Xiao Yuan.

"Elder, you are joking. I don't have that ability. I just ambushed him. It was mainly my teacher who dealt with him."

Xiao Yuan put the Gu You back into his Storage Ring and said with a smile.

To create a puppet at the Half-Saint level, he had to use several Rank 8 Pill to obtain sufficiently powerful materials before he could successfully refine it.

Don't let Gu You's appearance as an old man fool you; his physical body is absolutely top-tier among human powerhouses of the same level, and it's really not easy to refine! However, the good news is that once this puppet is completed, it will be Advanced Half-Saint.

Having such a powerful bodyguard by his side is what gives Xiao Yuan his confidence.

"No matter what, this old ghost has now become your puppet. No wonder he dares to be so domineering. It turns out he has something to rely on."

Elder Tongxuan realized he had lost his composure and was somewhat embarrassed, but his gaze towards Xiao Yuan held a newfound appreciation.

Even Nine Stars Dou Zun Peak might not dare to attack Advanced Half-Saint. Xiao Yuan's courage is truly astonishing.

"Relying on? I guess so, but to be honest, if we're talking about relying on something, this is what I actually rely on."

Xiao Yuan pointed to his Clan Mark.

"I've seen people use the method of sacrifice to draw upon the power of Dou Di to their own bodies. Coincidentally, I have a good understanding." Xiao Yuan paused, then continued, "So I learned it too. Then I discovered that if I sacrifice myself, it seems to attract the phantom of Dou Di from the Xiao Clan. I don't know how strong that is, but Elder Tongxuan thinks that if the Ancient Clan really forces me to that point, what price will I have to pay?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

Elder Tongxuan's face twitched upon hearing this, inwardly cursing those old fogies in the clan to the heavens.

The sins they committed have brought them to suffer here!

"My move was actually intended to deal with the Soul Clan. Elder Tongxuan should also know that the decline of my Xiao Clan is not solely due to the extinction of our bloodline, right? After all, even without the power of our bloodline, the Xiao Clan is still one of the Ancient Eight Clans. Even if we have declined, we should not have fallen to the point where, twenty years ago, the strongest members of our clan were only at the level of Da Dou Shi, reduced to the point where we could only live in a remote corner."

Xiao Yuan said calmly.

"As for the relationship between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, I don't think it's likely to be good no matter what. I heard from that Soul Clan member that they wanted to ruin Xun'er's Dou Emperor Bloodline in the Sky Curtain. Although I've already killed that person, do you think the Soul Clan would actually do something like that? It's just sacrificing a few clansmen to lower Xun'er's bloodline level, or even to kill her. It's a worthwhile deal for the Soul Clan, isn't it?"

Xiao Yuan then began to fan the flames.

Elder Tongxuan's expression changed upon hearing this.

With his seniority, he naturally knew that Xun'er was very likely to be rated as God Grade Bloodline this time. If the Soul Clan really did something underhanded, the entire clan would probably go crazy for it!

"Of course, I know that some old fogies of the Ancient Clan can't stand my nonsense as a member of the already fallen Xiao Clan, but Xun'er grew up in the Xiao Clan Xiao Yuan she was a child, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she is my younger sister. You think that Gu Yao is worthy of Xun'er, but in my opinion, if he weren't a member of the Ancient Clan, I wouldn't have let him live just because he had murderous intent towards Xiao Yan."

Therefore, Elder Tongxuan, please go back and remind those old fogies and young people to behave themselves. My Xiao Clan will simply have to return to Wutan City and start over. Can the Ancient Clan afford to lose?

After saying this, Xiao Yuan stood up and walked outside.

"Elder, Xiao Yuan takes his leave."

Watching Xiao Yuan's departing figure with his hands behind his back, Elder Tongxuan's lips trembled slightly, and he sighed heavily.

"This kid is arrogant!"

Gu Shan's figure appeared, and he said in a cold voice.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better shut up."

Elder Tongxuan frowned and said coldly.

"What, you're so easily intimidated by a junior?"

Gu Shan coldly retorted.

"Do you really think the clan leader has no objection to your behavior? Have you forgotten whose daughter Xun'er is?"

Elder Tongxuan's expression turned icy cold.

"The Soul Hall established by the Soul Clan has become increasingly rampant in its soul-hunting activities in recent years, clearly plotting something in secret. Leaving aside their Dou Qi strength, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's status as Eighth Grade Alchemist alone is enough to attract numerous Dou Zun expert. If you were to encounter them outside, you would die at Xiao Yuan's hands. What right do you have to act arrogantly towards him? In recent years, under the care of the Ancient Clan, the Xiao Clan has shrunk from Central State to Wutan City. If I weren't weak enough to influence the clan elders' decisions, how could I have stood idly by while the Xiao Clan suffered? Do you want others to think that my Ancient Clan is full of treacherous, snobbish, and opportunistic people? I will definitely report this matter to the clan leader today, lest you fools bring annihilation upon our clan!"

Elder Tongxuan was already seething with Sub-flame, and seeing that Gu Shan was still as annoying as ever, he immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

"If Xiao Xuan were still alive, you people would probably all be completely different, wouldn't you?"

After uttering a final sarcastic remark, Elder Tongxuan's figure quietly disappeared.

Gu Shan, his face darkening from the scolding, turned and left.

On the other side, after leaving the bamboo house, Xiao Yuan flew towards the direction where Xiao Yi Xian and the other two had been taken.

Even before entering the Ancient Holy City, Xiao Yuan had planted Soul Seal on everyone, enabling them to sense each other's location.

The Heavenly State Soul has indeed brought a lot of convenience.

After this trip to the Ancient Clan, Xiao Yuan plans to resume his alchemy practice.

With his current foundation, he is already capable of challenging the Ninth Grade Alchemist. As for the Black Demon Lightning, with the Gu You around, he is not particularly worried.

Xiao Yuan flew very fast, and soon landed outside a bamboo house.

Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lian, and Heavenly Flame Venerable were all sitting in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for his return.

You're back?

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly and tilted her head to ask.

"Um."

Xiao Yuan landed on the ground and nodded with a smile.

"It seems your talks with the Ancient Clan went well. However, hehe, kid, you've got guts. There must be quite a few Dou Sheng Expert in the Ancient Clan. To dare to be so arrogant, I admire you!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable said with a smile.

"So what if I'm Dou Sheng? In the end, some people from the Ancient Clan are in the wrong. They can't reason with me. As for fists? If they have the guts, they can kill me. It just so happens that Huo Xuan from the Yan Clan, whom I met before, is here. I want to see if the Ancient Clan dares to lay a hand on me, the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, today."

Xiao Yuan curled his lips and said indifferently.

When the time comes, he will hand over the Tou She Ancient God Jade to Huo Xuan, guaranteeing that the Ancient Clan will become the common enemy of other Ancient Race.

Even the Soul Clan can only plot this in secret; the Ancient Clan? If they really had the guts, they would have acted long ago.

There's no need for that anymore.

"Hehe, that's quite generous. Tonight, I'll have to have a good drink with you!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable pulled out a gourd of wine from somewhere, took a big gulp, and said with a smile.

"By the way, young master, tomorrow is the Ancient Clan's Coming-of-Age Ceremony. What about the young master?"

Qing Lian remembered the important matter and reminded her.

"Don't worry about him, just let him stay with Xun'er. There won't be any problems. In the Ancient Clan, no one can touch Xiao Yan under Xun'er's nose."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said calmly.

"Tomorrow, he'll deal with the younger ones, and I'll deal with the older ones. I reckon they won't be able to let go of their prejudices and habits from all these years so easily. I'll give them a beating, and some of them might even thank me."

Xiao Yuan curled his lip.

He'd already said all that, but he still hadn't managed to lure out Xun'er's father. This old man who'd lived for a thousand years was truly patient. But it didn't matter; they'd meet sooner or later anyway.

This time, he's going to do something big at the Heavenly Tomb! If he succeeds, he might even be able to pull Xiao Xuan's Ancestor out of that Heavenly Tomb.

At that time, hmph, I guarantee I'll give the Ancient Clan some Heaven Rank Battle Skill and the shock of being possessed by a ghost.

Do they really think the Xiao Clan has no one left? The night was as dark as water, spreading across the land, and the cool moonlight poured down from the sky, shrouding the entire mountain range in a thin silver veil.

In the center of the mountain range, clusters of palaces stand one after another, resembling ancient beasts under the moonlight, exuding an ancient aura. At this moment, most of these palaces are brightly lit, as these days are considered a joyous occasion for the Ancient Clan, and many places are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Far from these magnificent and ancient palaces, the mountain peaks are exceptionally tranquil, devoid of the hustle and bustle, making the place seem like the abode of hermits, peaceful and serene.

On the mountain peak, a figure in flowing white robes stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the brightly lit palaces in the distance.

"Third Brother, aren't you resting so late?"

Suddenly, a soft voice rang out on the mountain peak, and a figure in green robes slowly emerged from the forest. Moonlight shone on her elegant face, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.

"Xun'er, why are you looking for me so late at night?"

Xiao Yuan turned his head and asked with a smile.

"That Miss Cao Ying, she doesn't have any other intentions towards Brother Xiao Yan, does she?"

Xun'er's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

"Yes, she wants your Brother Xiao Yan's heart, but she doesn't want to give it to him, does she?"

Xiao Yuan nodded and said softly.

"Sigh, although I received the news a long time ago, it still feels really annoying after I confirmed it with my Third Brother. But I can't let Brother Xiao Yan kill that girl. After all, she didn't do anything wrong, and I can't hate Brother Xiao Yan because of this."

Xun'er looked distressed.

"Right, I know you're the type, but you also know that kid's personality. He has to take responsibility for what he does. Well, I guess that's about it. In my opinion, Cao Ying is a pretty good person, but it would be incredibly difficult to carve out a piece of land from Xiao Yan's heart, which is full of you. You must have already thought it through before you came to me."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said with a smile.

"However, your bloodline is not stable yet, so don't act rashly, or you and Xiao Yan will both get into big trouble. You were born into the Ancient Clan and use the clan's resources, so there are some things you'd better not do. With me here, there are some storms that you two don't need to weather. I have some plans for coming to the Ancient Clan this time, but I won't tell you yet. You just need to know that it's a good thing for you and Xiao Yan, and it won't do any harm for the Ancient Clan either."

"Okay, I'll head back now?"

Xun'er was also curious about what it was, but she knew that since Xiao Yuan was keeping her in suspense, it must be because the matter was not yet settled. But it would only take a few more days, so it didn't matter.

"Go back quickly. It's been so many years, and we've only seen each other a few times. Being with your loved one, even just admiring the moon, has a special charm."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, goodbye Third Brother!"

Upon hearing Xun'er smiled and waved her hand, then, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, she disappeared into the night.

"Alright, what are you two doing hiding there? I really don't have any romantic entanglements in the Ancient Clan."

Xiao Yuan turned his head to look at the bamboo forest behind him and said with a smile.

The next moment, two beautiful figures, one in green and one in white, emerged from within.

"Young Master, I came out with Sister Xiao Yi Xian, I didn't mean anything by it."

Qing Lian said cautiously.

"You three siblings must have had a very good relationship when you were little."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly and said.

"Yes, to be precise, there are four, plus Xiao Yu."

As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Then I'll have to listen carefully to your story."

The voice of Xiao Yi Xian drifted softly into my ears.

Ah, the moonlight tonight is truly beautiful!

Xiao Yuan's smile froze, and he looked up at the sky.

Huh? Where did my huge moon go? "Young Master, why don't you all continue with your work? I'll head back now."

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Qing Lian felt she should run away.

Then Xiao Yuan grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

"It's rare that we don't have to cultivate in the evening, let's sit here for a while together."

Xiao Yuan embraced one on each side, and said softly.

Xiao Yi Xian was already used to it and didn't think much of it.

This was the first time Qing Lian had ever received treatment at the level of Xiao Yi Xian. Her face flushed, and she almost collapsed into Xiao Yuan.

Young Master smells so good.

Qing Lian murmured shyly to herself.
