The Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade

The Xiao Clan?

So that was it!

By supporting the Misty Cloud Sect and pushing for war, they could not only meet the Hall of Souls' demand for souls, but also conveniently eliminate the remaining Xiao Clan members and obtain the Tou She Ancient God Jade!

Young Master truly left nothing to chance. His schemes were unfathomable—he was indeed the greatest among the younger generation.

At his age, I was probably still playing in the mud, wasn't I?

But for some reason, what value did Young Master see in Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun? Why couldn't I see it?

As Hun Miesheng was inwardly shocked, Hun Tianchen gave a wicked smile.

"Since that's the case, I'll make the trip to the Xiao Clan. It will also give you time to prepare for this marriage alliance and let your disciple get ready."

"Yes."

"Hall Master, send more Hall of Souls personnel to the Misty Cloud Sect and help them strengthen their power," Hun Tianchen said to Hun Miesheng beside him.

"As you command, Young Master."

"Come on. It is time for us to visit the Xiao Clan."

"Young Master, please wait a moment." Yun Shan gathered his courage and called out to Hun Tianchen and the others. Under their gazes, he turned to Yun Yun. "Yun Yun, you should go to the Xiao Clan with them as well."

"Teacher, but..."

"My mind is made up!"

"Yes, Teacher..."

As he looked at Yun Yun, a meaningful glint flashed through Hun Tianchen's heterochromatic eyes.

During the journey, Yun Yun kept a cold expression and showed Hun Tianchen and Hun Miesheng no kindness.

Seeing her Dou Qi Wings and the anger on her face, Hun Tianchen sighed.

"Sect Master Yun Yun, why must you be like this? We should have been on the same side. Your teacher can receive our help in breaking through to Dou Zong, and the Misty Cloud Sect can naturally dominate the Northwest Continent with our support."

"You shameless wretch! You threatened my teacher into making me marry you." Yun Yun lightly bit her pearly teeth, faint anger appearing on her ethereal face.

Upon hearing this, Hun Tianchen immediately stopped moving, and Hun Miesheng behind him stopped as well.

Seeing that they had halted, Yun Yun could not help saying again, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Sect Master Yun Yun, you are completely mistaken." Hun Tianchen shook his head, his tone extremely sincere. "If you dislike it, then this marriage alliance can be canceled. I did use some despicable means, but it was only to achieve what I needed. I merely wanted to support the Misty Cloud Sect."

"As the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, surely you have always devoted yourself to it, haven't you? The Misty Cloud Sect raised you. You would not let it decline like this, would you?"

Yun Yun suddenly could not understand what Hun Tianchen meant.

What did he say? He was actually letting me cancel the marriage alliance himself?

"I can make the Misty Cloud Sect stronger and allow it to dominate the Northwest Continent. This marriage alliance is merely my reason for helping you." Hun Tianchen smiled faintly. "If you dislike it, then cancel the engagement directly. But I will still insist on helping the Misty Cloud Sect grow."

"If I truly wanted you dead, your sect would have been destroyed the moment I appeared. But I did not do that. You understand, don't you? If I truly harbored ill intentions toward you, the Misty Cloud Sect would already have been destroyed."

Under Yun Yun's slightly dazed gaze, Hun Tianchen gradually went farther away with Hun Miesheng.

"What he said does make some sense. Perhaps he really isn't the person I imagined him to be."

Without thinking further, Yun Yun followed after them.

Wū Tǎn City, Xiao Clan.

Hun Tianchen and the others arrived at just the right time, catching the final scene of Nalan Yanran breaking off her engagement with Xiao Yan.

Right after they made the Three-Year Agreement, Hun Tianchen faintly appeared within a shadow, watching everything with cold indifference.

The instant they appeared, Xun Er in the Xiao Clan's main hall seemed to sense something and turned toward Hun Tianchen's location.

That glance was enough. The moment Xun Er saw those unique heterochromatic eyes, her pupils trembled sharply.

"It is him?!"

Xun Er knew something about Hun Tianchen as well.

Because of his appearance, the entire Ancient Clan had become wary of him, including Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan's leader.

According to the latest news, Hun Tianchen had overwhelmed all the younger members of the Ancient Eight Clans in a competition among their younger generation. Calling him the greatest genius on the Dou Qi Continent would not be an exaggeration.

Hun Tianchen had already made Gu Yuan risk exposure to secretly send Xun Er a message.

"Take the Jü Qì Sǎn with you as well!"

Inside the hall, Xiao Zhan waved his hand and flung the jade box on the table outward.

Ge Ye reached his hand behind him and steadily caught the box, letting out a bitter laugh.

Xun Er looked at Nalan Yanran. Because Hun Tianchen was present, she did not step forward to say anything. She merely kept staring at Hun Tianchen, her brows tightly furrowed.

Hun Tianchen led Hun Miesheng into the Xiao Clan's main hall and cheerfully said to Xiao Zhan:

"Clan Leader Xiao, greetings. I have long heard of your great reputation."

Hun Miesheng immediately looked at this Young Master with a strange expression.

Long heard of his great reputation? He was only a Da Dou Shi. Young Master, a single puff of your breath would knock him to the ground.

Because of Nalan Yanran's broken engagement, Xiao Zhan wore a cold expression and did not have much goodwill toward this handsome youth with an evil air about him.

"Who are you?"

Hun Miesheng had just intended to speak when Hun Tianchen raised a hand to stop him and smiled faintly.

"I am from the Hun Clan of Central State's Ancient Eight Clans. Clan Leader Xiao may call me Hun Tianchen."

As expected!

Xun Er was deeply shaken. She was already considering how she should act.

But she did not dare reveal herself at all. What if the other party learned that she was from the Ancient Clan?

Not to mention that the Ancient Clan and Hun Clan were mortal enemies.

"Hun Tianchen?" Xiao Zhan suddenly felt somewhat better because of this handsome, wicked youth's attitude, and his expression warmed slightly.

Compared to the attitude of the Jia Ma Empire's overlord, the Young Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, this so-called Hun Tianchen was far better.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan replied politely as well:

"May I ask what brings you to the Xiao Clan?"

Everyone's attention was now on Hun Tianchen, including the bleeding Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, who was just about to leave.

"I would like the Jade Pendant on Clan Leader Xiao's person." Hun Tianchen revealed a comforting smile. "In exchange, I can give the Xiao Clan ten million Gold Coins to stabilize your foundation. I am also willing to eliminate the other two great clans of Wū Tǎn City for you, allowing the Xiao Clan to stand alone above all others."

Amid everyone's shocked gazes, Hun Tianchen continued as though nothing had happened:

"Not only that, my Hun Clan is willing to give the Xiao Clan ten thousand medicinal pills below the fifth tier and more than a hundred sixth-tier medicinal pills. If you still refuse, I can even conveniently resolve the trouble posed by the Misty Cloud Sect for you. Are you interested in this deal?"
