Bloodline resonance could not deceive anyone.
What was more, Xiao Huohuo bore the Xiao Clan Crest on his forehead.
A clan crest awakened by the power of one's bloodline could not be faked either.
Thus, Xiao Xuan concluded that the person before him was indeed a descendant of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Xuan calmly accepted Xiao Huohuo's formal salute before saying, "At last, I have waited for a descendant of my Xiao Clan."
"Blood Blade, you may leave now. From this day onward, no one in the Heaven Tomb will dare bully you."
Blood Blade Saint's face immediately flushed with excitement. He hurriedly bowed to Xiao Xuan, then turned and departed.
Had he not taken such a great risk precisely for a single word from Xiao Xuan?
This man had stood at the pinnacle of the world in life!
Even after his death, he remained a towering giant within the Heaven Tomb!
With Xiao Xuan's protection, his days in the Heaven Tomb would be far easier from now on.
Though he was a Half-Sage, the Heaven Tomb had once been an ancient battlefield, where countless Dou Saint experts had fallen.
Those experts were not people he could contend with, which was why he had wanted to find himself a patron.
After Blood Blade Saint left, Xiao Xuan said, "Follow me."
Xiao Huohuo had some guesses already. At this moment, his heart pounded wildly, and even he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
Xiao Huohuo and the others followed Xiao Xuan as they shot toward the depths of the Heaven Tomb.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally slowed down.
The surroundings were now almost completely dark.
It was not merely darkness. All light seemed to have been swallowed and erased here, leaving behind a void of Chaos.
