"Xuan... Brother Xuan, Xiao Chen... I'm sorry. I've let you down, and I've let the Xiao Clan down. Please punish me."
The moment he saw Xiao Xuan, tears blurred Xiao Chen's vision. His knees buckled, and he dropped to the ground with a thud.
At that moment, besides self-reproach and guilt, he also felt genuine remorse.
Xiao Xuan raised his hand slightly from afar.
Xiao Chen was lifted to his feet.
Xiao Chen knew Xiao Xuan possessed an Emperor Realm Soul, so he wasn't surprised to see him in spirit form.
He assumed Xiao Xuan had come in a soul avatar specifically to save him.
Xiao Xuan drifted over to Xiao Chen.
Looking at him, he patted his shoulder.
He sighed.
"Fortunately, you came here back then. That's how you escaped disaster and preserved another measure of strength for the Xiao Clan."
Escaped disaster?
Xiao Chen's eyelid twitched. He asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Xuan, what do you mean?"
Could something have happened to the Xiao Clan?!
Xiao Xuan sighed and told him what had happened back then.
"That bastard Hun Tiandi! He didn't dare come out in the open, so he resorted to a sneak attack!"
Xiao Chen was furious!
Before coming here, he'd known that Xiao Xuan was cultivating the Dou Di Bloodline, intending to break through to Dou Di and bring new Dou Di bloodline power to the Xiao Clan!
He'd thought that with Xiao Xuan's talent and strength, there would be no problem.
So he'd continued to do as he pleased.
He'd never expected things to end with the clan nearly wiped out.
Even more unexpected was that the Burning Flame Ancestor had been grievously wounded and died for the Xiao Clan!
Thinking of this,
what made him angriest was that old bastard Gu Yuan!
