The station of the Xiao Family is near Imperial City.
In recent years, as Xiao Lin stepped into Dou Wang and made friends with Nalan Jie, Xiao Family's status has also risen. In the Jia Ma Empire also occupies a position among Imperial Capital. Although it has not truly become the fourth largest family of the Jia Ma Empire, its vague name is superior to other forces.
This has also caused Xiao Family to become a thorn in the eyes of many people, but they have always been afraid of Xiao Lin and Nalan Jie, so they did nothing.
Now that the two people died suddenly, the forces in the dark naturally showed their fangs, like a group of greedy hyenas, staring at the Xiao Family, trying to bite off a piece of flesh and blood from his body. If they were not worried about the unsightly appearance, they might have divided Xiao Family.
As night falls, Xiao Family is in the reception hall.
Current Xiao Family Three Great Elders is quarreling over the future of the Xiao Family. Among them, Second Elder thinks that Xiao Family should give up everything about Imperial Capital and choose the former Developing in other cities, after all, Xiao Family can no longer hold on to such a huge family business. Once time passes, those who have a grudge against the Xiao Family will inevitably surround him and divide Xiao Family up.
Instead of waiting for something like this to happen, it would be better for a strong man to slit his wrists to at least give Xiao Family a chance to rise.
Third Elder is not willing to give up Imperial Capital's industry. Xiao Family has paid too much to get to this point. How can he just give up? As for those who covet Xiao Family's family business, he does not believe that anyone dares to kill Imperial Capital directly.
Imperial Capital has Rules of Imperial Capital, and Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire are not decorations!
The two had a heated argument.
The leader, the great elder, listened silently to the argument between the two, and finally raised his hand, looked at a man in his thirties below, and said, "Xiao Zhan, as Young Clan Leader, please tell me what you think."
"I agree with Second Elder's idea. We can't bet on the kindness of the enemy, and Imperial Family's attitude towards the Xiao Family has always been ambiguous. Father wants to the Jia Ma Empire paid his life, but they never gave Xiao Family an explanation. They don't even know who the murderer is. I don't think Imperial Family will protect Xiao Family."
Xiao Zhan said with bloodshot eyes and a somewhat low voice. He has still not recovered from his father's death.
"Clan Leader died for the Jia Ma Empire. I don't believe that Imperial Family's group of people will sit back and watch Xiao Family suffer. If so, who else will be willing to work for the Jia Ma Empire in the future!"
Third Elder retorted directly.
"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows..."
Second Elder said quietly, breaking the reality with one word.
We are all smart people, and everyone can abide by Rules on the surface, but secretly, whether you can guard against it depends on yourself. Imperial Family is not a charity, and Imperial Family people have always been indifferent and realistic. If you are valuable, they will naturally win over you. If you are worthless, no one cares who you are.
Third Elder heard this, his expression turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "A little trick in the secret? They are not the only ones who can do it, we three old guys are not dead yet!"
The strength of the three of them is all at the Dou Ling level. As long as Dou Wang doesn't know what to do, he is really not afraid of those people's little moves.
"Then let's take a look!"
The elder said in a deep voice that he was not willing to give up Xiao Family's family business directly. For the current family business, Xiao Family had really sacrificed generation after generation. How could he give up everything just because of Xiao Lin's death? If he went to other cities, he would undoubtedly have to start over, and the family's power would directly decline to a terrifying level, not to mention the cultivation resources.
There was a pause.
He looked at Xiao Zhan again and asked, "Go to the Nalan Family tomorrow and ask if Nalan Family is willing to join forces with our Xiao Family, so that the two families can stay together for warmth!"
"Okay."
Xiao Zhan nodded and did not refuse. His third son Xiao Yan and Nalan Family's Nalan Yanran were engaged when they were one year old. The two families were also considered Marriage Alliance. It might be beneficial for both families to stay together at this time. If Imperial Capital could not leave, that would naturally be the best.
At the same time, inside a cozy bedroom.
A young woman with a gentle temperament was telling a story to a young child. The little boy blinked his bright eyes, neither cried nor fussed, and listened quietly to the story told by his mother. He appeared to be well-behaved and sensible, until he became sleepy, and then he slowly fell asleep in the young woman's arms.
Looking at her well-behaved third child, she also showed a gentle smile. Compared with the first two children, this third child was surprisingly less worried. Since his birth, he neither cried nor fussed. He looked extremely smart and very lovable.
But soon, a ray of sadness appeared between her eyebrows. How could she not know the predicament Xiao Family was facing now, but she was a woman and couldn't give any advice. When she was thinking about these things, a sudden feeling of sleepiness came to her heart, making her shake her head slightly, and fell asleep with her baby in her arms.
When the woman fell asleep, her left index finger suddenly moved, as if an invisible force was covering it, peeling off the Black Ring.
"Hey~"
The moment the ring was peeled off, it turned into a stream of light and burst out of the window, flying towards a dark place.
In the darkness, a blurry figure raised his hand to catch the ring. He looked at the Storage Ring in his hand, and a golden flame flashed in his eyes. After a moment, the flames disappeared. He solemnly put the Storage Ring away, then took out another ring of the same color from the Storage Ring and threw it back. Controlled by Soul Power, he put it firmly on the woman's index finger.
This person is naturally Yao Yan. He has already made some preparations in advance for tonight's trip, and in order to avoid future troubles, he has also made some preparations.
When it comes to Flame Mantra and Tou She Ancient God Jade, one cannot be too cautious.
In fact, with his Rank 6 Alchemist-level Soul Power, there is no need to worry about anyone discovering him. And just putting Xiao Yan's mother to sleep was just a superficial use of Soul Power. Just like people are easily comatose due to lack of oxygen, the powerful Soul Power can easily stun people.
As for Xiao Yan, the Protagonist of Original Work, he just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, and did not directly kill him because it was unnecessary. He did not feel that the other party could threaten him. Without Flame Mantra and Yao Lao of Xiao Yan, his life was almost decided.
If the opponent really has the so-called luck of the protagonist and rises against the sky...Yao Yan is looking forward to it!
What's left is Tou She Ancient God Jade...Yao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He has already found the whereabouts of this object. In front of his Soul Power, there is no secret in the entire Xiao Family. The unique Tou She Ancient God Jade is placed inside the Ancestral Hall of the Xiao Family.
To go or not to go!
Having just obtained Bone Flame Ring, he hesitated and was a little worried, but this worry was quickly extinguished. With a fierce heart, he rushed towards the direction of the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall. The Xiao Family guards along the way were among his Soul Perception, as if they were in vain, and there was no way to detect the slightest breath of him.
Soon Yao Yan came to the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall, and there were two guards inside. However, under the shock of his Soul Power, the two already quite sleepy guards fell directly into a coma.
He strode into it, looked at the tablets on it, and finally locked on the highest tablet.
As his Soul Power covered it, the highest tablet slowly moved away, revealing a delicate brocade box below. Under his control, the brocade box floated in front of Yao Yan. The lid slowly opened, revealing a Gu Jade that exuded a strange light. There were strange lines on its surface, which alternately lit up and faded, as if it was breathing.
"Is this Xiao Family really related to that Emperor Clan?"
Yao Yan muttered to himself, seemingly surprised that this thing really existed. He Sizing Up looked at it carefully for a while, with a look of ecstasy on his face. "I'm really lucky. I unexpectedly wandered into such a remote place, and I unexpectedly met Xiao Clan who had disappeared long ago. If I take this thing back, those old guys at the Yao Clan will probably go crazy!"
At this moment, he acted extremely seriously!
