Xiao Yan's Gift, the Xiao Clan's Second Elder Seeks Death!
The young man in black was none other than Xiao Yan.
After his trip to the Qing Kingdom, Xiao Yan headed to the ruins he had long awaited.
With the help of the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire Sub-Fire, his Cultivation Method advanced, and his cultivation speed increased dramatically.
Spirits have a natural resistance to the Evil Spirits of that ruin.
Despite this, he faced deadly danger multiple times in the face of a massive siege by Evil Spirits.
Without the help of the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire and Elder Dan, he would have died a hundred and eighty times inside.
"You really want to give that thing to that brat Xuan Chen?"
You should understand the significance of that thing to you and the Xiao Clan.
"Perhaps with this, your Xiao Clan has a chance to become a Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul, Aristocratic Clan." An aged voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe with Dragon Pattern patterns and a solemn expression appeared beside Xiao Yan.
Truly a soul entity, Elder Dan.
At this moment, he was radiant and his soul was incredibly solid.
It seemed to contain boundless power.
Clearly, he also gained a lot from this trip to the ruins.
At this point, defeating Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would not be difficult for him.
Hearing Elder Dan's words, Xiao Yan grinned and said:
"Certainly.
If it weren't for Brother Chen's help back then, I, Xiao Yan, and everyone in the Xiao Clan would have been killed by Jiang Tiangou and his gang.
Perhaps you could have intervened then, Master, but how much of your strength could you have unleashed?
Even if you can get me away, what about my father?
During my trip to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, I was hunted down by the Evil Cultivator of the Soul Devouring Cult, and I was at my wit's end.
He was saved by Brother Chen once again.
As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and a ball of crimson-gold flame emerged from his palm. "And this time..."
I escaped danger many times by relying on the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire that I obtained from him.
That's how he managed to obtain one-third of the inheritance.
Not only did he acquire numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Spirit Artifacts, and his cultivation level also broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Brother Chen's kindness to me can never be repaid.
Let alone that Trial Tower, even if he wanted all the spiritual items I possessed, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
I, Xiao Yan, am not an ungrateful person.
Xiao Yan's tone was sincere, without a trace of pretense, just like when Zhang Xuanchen first learned of Elder Dan's existence.
He still didn't have any ulterior motives, which greatly moved Xiao Yan.
From that moment on, he regarded Zhang Xuanchen as his own brother!
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Elder Dan was filled with satisfaction.
This is truly the disciple of Burning Ruin Venerable: decisive in killing, yet loyal and righteous.
That's precisely why I taught him everything I knew.
"Hmm, not bad, not blinded by external things, following one's true heart."
In this way, Inner Demon cannot invade, and the path to enlightenment can be attained.
Moreover, the Trial Tower is more of a curse than a blessing for your Xiao Clan.
Haha, that's right, that's right!
"Don't you even know who I am... uh, whose disciple am I?" Xiao Yan originally wanted to boast a little, but noticing Elder Dan's expression, he immediately added another sentence.
It's best not to provoke this old man.
He silently cursed in his heart, then spoke again, "Master."
What do you think Brother Chen's expression will be when he sees my cultivation level?
In just three years, he traversed two realms from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"Who in the entire South Sea Immortal Continent can match such speed?"
"No matter how monstrous Brother Chen is, he can only break through from the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at most."
"Haha, I'm already looking forward to seeing Brother Chen's shocked expression."
"But for now, I'd better go home first. I don't know how Dad is doing now."
Has the Foundation Establishment been broken through?
After saying this, Xiao Yan, extremely excited, piloted the Flying Boat towards the Xiao Clan's direction.
He was completely unaware that Elder Dan was deep in thought beside him.
He had a premonition that Xiao Yan's cultivation level might still not have surpassed Zhang Xuanchen's.
He couldn't see through that kid.
However, it is certain that he has no problems with his character and has no ill intentions towards Xiao Yan.
That's enough.
The Xiao Clan.
Main Hall.
Xiao Zhan, dressed in a gray robe, sat in the main seat.
The Seven Elders sat below in order.
At this moment, both their cultivation level and their clothing underwent earth-shattering changes.
Over the years, Xiao Yan left behind many low-level Pill Formula for the Xiao Clan.
Each time they return, they bring back a large number of elixirs and spiritual items suitable for their cultivation.
Even the Second-tier Cultivation Technique that they could only dream of before.
These subsidies greatly increased the Xiao Clan's power.
Clan Leader Xiao Zhan Qi Refining Peak.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
The other elders were also at least at the Qi Refining Level 6.
Overall, its strength ranks among the top twenty of the Zhang Family's 108 Qi Refining Affiliated Force.
At this moment, the Main Hall was somewhat quiet.
Xiao Zhan looked at the contents of the letter and slowly said:
"As all the elders know, I want to mobilize all of the Xiao Clan's top combat forces for this trip to the Zhang Family."
Gentlemen...
Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, the Second Elder immediately interrupted, "No!"
Clan Leader, the great battle between the Zhang Family and the Bihai Immortal Sect has little to do with my Xiao Clan.
More importantly, the Zhang Family is simply no match for the Bihai Immortal Sect.
The Zhang Clan Patriarch's decision this time is clearly due to being pushed to the brink by the Bihai Immortal Sect, and he's willing to fight to the death!
Sending us there would be suicide!
My Xiao Clan's development to this point is not advisable. I urge the Clan Leader to reconsider!
If you ask me, I could easily gather thirty Rogue Cultivator and have them impersonate members of my Xiao Clan.
Now, thanks to everyone's joint efforts, my Xiao Clan is thriving and has no shortage of these resources.
Why send your people to their deaths?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face immediately darkened.
What does it mean that the Xiao Clan is thriving thanks to everyone's joint efforts?
Without the Zhang Family's protection and without his son Xiao Yan, would the Xiao Clan be where they are today?
His gaze sharpened as he looked at the Second Elder who had spoken, and he said in a deep voice:
"Is the Second Elder afraid of death?"
Do you know that without the help of the young master of the Zhang Family, my Xiao Clan would have been wiped out back then!
How could we be so ungrateful!
The Second Elder could tell that Xiao Zhan was angry.
But so what?
Both he and the Great Elder were at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and they had no fear of Xiao Zhan.
As for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan is indeed strong, but he's not here right now.
Three years without a word, he might have already died out there.
He chuckled lightly, "Clan Leader, you are mistaken."
As a superior branch of the Xiao Clan family, it is only right for the Zhang Family to protect the Xiao Clan.
Moreover, wasn't the reason my Xiao Clan was wiped out back then because of Xiao Yan?
This trip to the Zhang Family will undoubtedly end in certain death. As the Second Elder of the Xiao Clan, I cannot stand by and watch you, the Clan Leader, make a mistake!
Boom!
Xiao Zhan was furious!
His Qi Refining Peak suddenly erupted!
"Xiao Jing! Don't you feel ashamed when you say these words?"
Or is it that the dark skin on your face is as thick as a city wall, indestructible?
When you and your grandson have been refining the resources Yan'er brought back over the years, why don't you speak ill of him?
A tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible!
If you're afraid of death, just say so! Why make it sound so grand and dignified?!
Don't think I don't know all the despicable things you've done in secret over the years!
