Watching the black-robed man toss up the water energy ball and then let it fall, Xiao Zhan could sense just how immense the energy contained within it was.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this energy ball were thrown at him, he would be engulfed by it and shattered to pieces.

Therefore, every time the man in black robes tossed the energy ball into the air, Xiao Zhan's heart would pound violently.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan could feel that the black-robed man used more force with each throw than the previous one.

Xiao Zhan knew that the black-robed man's patience was being worn down little by little. When he stopped his frivolous behavior, it would probably mean that his patience had been completely exhausted.

At that time, the Xiao Family might really become what he said they would be, wiped out. And Yan Er, who had finally survived three years and finally ushered in this turning point, would probably also become like what the black-robed man said.

After all, those who can accept disciples in the Jia Ma Empire are high and mighty figures to us. But to this black-robed family that has been passed down from ancient times, they are probably just as he said, insignificant.

At that time, when faced with the threat from the black-robed family, it goes without saying what Yan Er's master will choose.

If someone is facing a situation where they have at least some certainty, they are very likely to resist. But when faced with a disparity so vast that it's like heaven and earth, how can they possibly resist?

Just like Xiao Zhan now, if the person in front of him were a Dou Ling, Xiao Zhan might have put up a fight. But this person is Dou Wang! He can't even withstand a single move from him, so how could he possibly fight back?

If we put ourselves in their shoes, what if Yan Er's master faced the same situation? When the black-robed man's family sent someone who had lost all hope in Yan Er's master, his resistance wouldn't change anything. But if he did what the black-robed man's family said, then Yan Er's master's family, including himself, could survive. Xiao Zhan knew without even thinking what Yan Er's master would choose.

The root of all this is that Ancient Jade Fragment passed down within the family.

For the Xiao Family, this Ancient Jade Fragment served no practical purpose other than as a family memento and the mark each Clan Leader would leave on it to determine Clan Leader status.

At the same time, upon hearing the man in black robes mention wanting this Ancient Jade Fragment, Xiao Zhan also realized that Xun Er's arrival at the Xiao Family was probably also for this Ancient Jade.

It was Xun Er's father who brought her there. Xiao Zhan observed her for a while.

Facing Xun Er's father, Xiao Zhan naturally couldn't discern anything. But it was precisely because he couldn't discern anything that Xiao Zhan knew Xun Er's father was an extremely extraordinary person.

After all, Xiao Zhan could still sense the presence of the black-robed man when he looked at him now, but Xun Er's father could not.

There are only two possible reasons for this situation.

Firstly, Xun Er's father is an ordinary person without any cultivation, so naturally he wouldn't possess any aura of cultivation. But given Xun Er's exceptional abilities, could her father really be an ordinary person?

Since Xun Er's father couldn't possibly be an ordinary person, then it must be the second possibility: Xun Er's father's cultivation level has probably reached a level that is beyond my reach, which allows him to simplify complex matters and appear as an ordinary person.

Since Xun Er's father's cultivation level had reached an extremely high level, why would he send Xun Er to the Xiao Family?

The highest-level Cultivation Method currently Xiao Family is the <Furious Lion's Wrathful Qi>, which they have cultivated to the mid-level of the Xuan Tier.

Given the stature of Xun Er's father, Xiao Zhan didn't believe he would be interested in a mid-level Xuan Tier Cultivation Method. So now, after the black-robed man's prompting, Xiao Zhan instantly understood that he was probably also after the Ancient Jade Fragment.

Seeing that all these important figures had come for this Ancient Jade Fragment, Xiao Zhan now knew that this Ancient Jade Fragment was definitely not something simple.

However, Xiao Zhan, as the Clan Leader of the Xiao Family, knew even better that when one obtains something disproportionate to their strength without corresponding ability, it is a case of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

If no one knew about this, it would be fine, but clearly that's not the case now.

Now not only is this information known, but it's not just one family that knows about it. If they keep this item in their possession, and then the two or more families who know about it come to fight for it, the aftershocks of the battle could probably wipe out the Xiao Family.

So at this moment, after struggling for a while, Xiao Zhan finally had no choice but to lower his head and nod at Lin Ming.

If there were any other way, Xiao Zhan would never give up on this Ancient Jade Fragment passed down from his ancestors. But now, if he doesn't give it to them, it will mean the extermination of his entire clan.

Even if he, Xiao Zhan, was a sinner to his family by giving them the Ancient Jade Fragment, at least his clansmen could survive.

Even if they don't give them the Ancient Jade Fragment, they might still be able to find them after wiping out the Xiao Family. However, only a few members of the Xiao Family who went out could survive; those remaining in the clan would not survive.

If such an outcome occurs, the sins of the Clan Leader will be even greater.

The fact that the black-robed figure who has arrived is still willing to speak with him suggests that he is not a bloodthirsty person. Otherwise, he would have attacked immediately upon arrival, instead of giving him time to talk and consider.

So, after Xiao Zhan nodded helplessly, an Ancient Jade radiating a strange and brilliant light was instantly taken out of his hand.

The strange Ancient Jade, illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the window paper, had patterns on its surface that seemed to breathe, sometimes bright and sometimes faint, quite mysterious.

Upon seeing the Ancient Jade that Xiao Zhan had taken out, the figure under the black robe immediately began to breathe rapidly.

After all, this is a fragment of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion Tou She Ancient God Jade's Cave! As long as I control this fragment, even if the Hun Clan collects all the other fragments, they will still be unable to open the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion if it is my fragment.

In this way, even if some unexpected changes occur, as long as no Dou Di appears, there will be no power capable of contending with the entire continent.

The only Source Qi crucial for advancing to the Dou Di in this world is found in two portions within the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion. Therefore, as long as the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion remains unopened, the Hun Clan will be unable to overwhelmingly confront the power of the entire continent.

In this way, Lin Ming and his family will have enough time to develop.

Lin Ming believed that once he reached the same cultivation level as Gu Yuan and the Hun Tiandi, with the enhancement of his Five Attributes, he would be able to withstand even their combined attack without hesitation. At that time, he could take out the fragment of the Ancient Emperor, open the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, and the opportunity to become an emperor would be his.

So when he saw Xiao Zhan take out the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment, Lin Ming, hidden beneath his black robe, couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Clan Leader Xiao, congratulations on making the right decision!"
