Xiao Family

Biodata

Power Progression

History

The family endured a period of internal strain after Xiao Yan's cultivation collapsed for three years. Some elders repeatedly used his decline to pressure Xiao Zhan into relinquishing his position as clan leader. Xiao Yan's sudden return to Ninth Stage Dou Qi reversed the family's view of him and restored confidence in its heir. 1

Its dignity was publicly challenged when Elder Ge Ye of the Misty Cloud Sect requested the dissolution of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's engagement. Xiao Yan accepted the annulment only after making clear that the public manner of the request endangered Xiao Zhan's authority and the family's standing in Wutan City. 4 6

The Xiao Family's conflict with the Jia Lie Family escalated from marketplace harassment to open warfare after Xiao Yan killed Jia Lieao. Jia Liebi attempted to seize the family's markets, but Xiao Zhan's forces, aided by Zhou Yuan, Zhou Cang, and Oba Pa, defeated the Jia Lie Clan's cultivators and ended its position in Wutan City. 9 19 29

Xiao Yan subsequently transformed the family's position through the Mite'er alliance, recruited powerful protectors, and established the Black Tower as a cultivation resource for clansmen and selected allies. 25 29 34
