Returning to the Clan, Changes in the Xiao Clan

Wang Chen, completely unaware of Han Feng's ambitions, was still preparing to go home.

Even if he understood, Wang Chen wouldn't care too much.

He didn't take this scumbag who betrayed his master seriously at all.

It was only considered as a backup option.

If Wang Chen fails to obtain the alchemy inheritance and pill formulas from Yao Lao, he will return to the Black-Corner Region and devour Han Feng.

Even if you don't gain anything from the pill formula, at least you'll have a share of alchemy knowledge to use.

Moreover, Han Feng could also be used as a bargaining chip for Wang Chen.

These were used as bargaining chips to exchange for alchemy techniques and various elixir formulas from the Yao Lao.

For Wang Chen, the recipes for pills were more important than the inheritance of alchemy skills.

It's like guns and ammunition.

Without ammunition, no matter how powerful the gun is, it won't be able to exert much power.

Moreover, for Wang Chen, obtaining a medicine-making inheritance is much easier.

However, pill formulas are strategic items, whether in the Northwestern Continent or the Central Plains.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to obtain.

Especially high-grade elixir formulas, which are practically impossible to come by.

That's why Wang Chen didn't immediately cause trouble for Han Feng.

After all, compared to Yao Lao, Han Feng is indeed not worth much.

Of course, once he gets what he wants from the Yao Lao, he won't let Han Feng go either.

Firstly, to avenge the Yao Lao.

Secondly, it's always good to gain more.

Han Feng's reputation as the Medicine Emperor in the Black-Corner Region is not just for show.

Instead, they earned their success through sheer hard work and dedication.

Over the years, they must have accumulated some foundation.

Wang Chen would never have too many of these things.

Of course, everything will have to wait until he returns from the Xiao Clan before a decision is made.

The following day, with everything prepared, Wang Chen once again summoned his ride— the White Swan.

Accompanied by Queen Medusa and the other three, Wang Chen boarded his vehicle and took off towards the Xiao Clan.

Soaring high into the sky, the White Swan cruises at full speed.

Using the speed of White Swan, they quickly left the Black-Corner Region and headed towards the Jia Ma Empire.

At such speed and altitude, naturally no one, whether human or magical beast, would dare to cause trouble.

Wang Chen's journey can be described as smooth sailing.

In just over half a day, the White Swan, traveling at full speed, had already reached the outskirts of Wutan City.

The sudden appearance of such a terrifying flying magical beast naturally shook the Wutan City.

Before Wang Chen's meteoric rise, the so-called three major families in Wutan City were merely Da Dou Shi families.

The forces that survived there were naturally quite ordinary.

It would be strange not to be terrified if a huge flying monster suddenly appeared.

However, upon seeing the flying magical beast heading towards the Xiao Clan's location, the other two major families in Wutan City felt a little smug.

Since Wang Chen started supporting the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan has rapidly reduced the living space of the other two major families in Wutan City.

After all, the Xiao Clan was a family that withdrew from the Jia Ma Imperial City back then. Even though they suffered great losses, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Only by cooperating can the other two families in Wutan City suppress the Xiao Clan.

However, after Wang Chen took off, even with the cooperation of the two companies, they gradually could not suppress him.

Especially after the Xiao Clan produced Dou Ling expert, the entire Wutan City became the Xiao Clan's territory.

If it weren't for some consideration for the Jia Ma Imperial Clan, Xiao Zhan would probably have taken drastic measures to eliminate the other two families.

Even without taking action, Wutan City has essentially become like the Xiao Clan's current state.

Now that a massive flying magical beast has come looking for trouble for the Xiao Clan, it's no wonder they're unhappy.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they had imagined.

When the White Swan was about to reach the Xiao Clan, the entire Xiao Clan was indeed shaken.

Led by Xiao Zhan, the four high-ranking members rushed to the location where the White Swan was about to land and ordered the rest of the Xiao Clan family to prepare for evacuation.

In the unlikely event of a battle, at least the succession of the Xiao Clan's descendants must be guaranteed.

Sensing the changes in the Xiao Clan below, Wang Chen knew he had brought trouble upon them this time.

He immediately got off the White Swan and shouted down to the Xiao Clan's higher-ups below.

"Clan leader, elders, don't panic, it's me."

Wang Chen, standing in mid-air, also had a remarkably loud voice.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Xiao Clan below also stopped what they were doing.

"It's Xiao Chen!"

After a careful look, the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan exclaimed in surprise.

Having confirmed that they were not enemies, the four senior members of the Xiao Clan ordered the Xiao Clan to return to normal and prepare a banquet.

After the turmoil in the Xiao Clan subsided, the White Swan had already landed in the Xiao Clan's square.

Looking at the enormous flying magical beast, the younger members of the Xiao Clan family were all filled with awe.

Let's go.

After Medusa and the other three disembarked, Wang Chen also stored the White Swan in his special Storage Ring.

He then gave a greeting and headed towards the four high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan.

"What is that?"

Upon seeing the White Swan suddenly appear, the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan also spoke up to inquire.

"That's a flying vehicle I crafted specifically for traveling."

In response to the Great Elder's question, Wang Chen offered an explanation.

Wang Chen also felt a certain degree of goodwill towards these high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan.

Regardless of the circumstances, he at least received a period of dedicated training from the Xiao Clan.

However, since their own talents were not up to par, it was only natural for the Xiao Clan to invest their limited resources in more talented clansmen.

After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, strength is everything.

Even after suffering a severe blow, he was able to dedicate a significant period of time to developing himself.

Wang Chen also cherished this friendship.

That's why he chose to provide the Xiao Clan with a lot of resources after taking off.

"Elders and clan leaders, it's been a long time."

Seeing that the four high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan were already Dou Ling experts, Wang Chen greeted them again.

This is all thanks to him.

If he hadn't provided a lot of resources that he himself couldn't use, none of the Xiao Clan members would have been able to break through to the Dou Ling.

After all, the Xiao Clan doesn't have a lot of resources.

It's impossible to break through unless all resources are used on oneself.

However, given their personalities, it's impossible for them to divert resources meant for nurturing the next generation.

After all, even though they each had their own ulterior motives, they all spared no effort in nurturing the next generation of their clan.

For example, Huohuo was exceptionally talented back then.

Even though the elders were not very satisfied with Xiao Zhan, they still did not have any ulterior motives in nurturing Huohuo.

If it weren't for Wang Chen's sudden emergence, the Xiao Clan would probably be struggling to survive, just like in the original story, under the combined suppression of the other two major families in Wutan City.

Seeing Wang Chen's strength growing increasingly terrifying, the Great Elder patted Wang Chen on the shoulder, expressing his satisfaction.

They are not ignorant people.

Even without Wang Chen's sudden emergence, they were still Dou Wang family in the Jia Ma Imperial City.

They do have some knowledge.

They were very clear about what standing in the void represented.

I never expected that Wang Chen would have reached this level at such a young age.

However, for the higher-ups in the Xiao Clan, the stronger Wang Chen is, the more beneficial it will be for the Xiao Clan.

To be honest, if Wang Chen hadn't been uninterested...

If it weren't for his contributions, the other high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan would have been more than willing to step down and give way to more capable people.

Who are these people?

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Great Elder finally spoke up and asked.

They weren't surprised that Wang Chen was with several beautiful women.

After all, Wang Chen is now an adult.

Moreover, given Wang Chen's abilities, it would be strange if no one liked him.

"This is Queen Medusa, and this is Xiao Yi Xian..."

Wang Chen quickly introduced the four women, including Queen Medusa.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please come in quickly."

Upon receiving the answer, the Great Elder was overjoyed and immediately expressed his welcome.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, would you like to rest for a bit first, or go straight to the banquet?"

Although people had already been assigned to prepare, the Great Elder still asked for Wang Chen's opinion.

"Let's start with a simple family banquet."

"I also want to see the New Student talents in the Xiao Clan."

Because the White Swan traveled very quickly and consumed little energy, Wang Chen agreed to hold a family meeting first.

To be honest, he also wanted to see the changes in the Xiao Clan.

After all, even without Wang Chen's sudden emergence, several decent talents would have appeared back then.

Now that we have our own support, we should at least have a few more.

In this world, no one will complain about having too many talented people.

If you can cultivate enough talent using resources that you don't need yourself, then that's definitely the most worthwhile investment.

Even if these talents cannot help me right now.

However, when he traveled to the Central Plains, these people became the foundation for maintaining stability in the Northwestern Continent and helping him collect resources.

Even if he goes to the resource-rich Central Plains in the future, Wang Chen will not give up the Northwestern Continent.

After all, this place does have its unique features.

For example, there were two Seven-Colored Origin Stones that appeared.

Even the tomb of Tou She Ancient God is located on the Northwestern Continent.

How could Wang Chen possibly give up on such a special place?

This is also a major reason why Wang Chen supported and nurtured the Xiao Clan.

The banquet began soon after.

The Xiao Clan of today is not the same Da Dou Shi family that existed in the original story.

If you move at full speed, the pace is quite fast.

Of course, the Xiao Clan is now developing much faster than in the original story.

With ample resource support, the probability of attracting talent has indeed increased significantly.

At this internal banquet, Wang Chen also got to see the current talents of the Xiao Clan.

The story includes Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, who appear in the original novel, as well as some members of the Xiao Clan who do not appear in the original work.

Their basic talents are sufficient to break through to the Ninth-Stage Dou Qi before their coming-of-age ceremony.

Even within the Jia Nan Academy's potential ranking, this is considered quite good.

Of course, Xiao Yan, who had already been tested by Yao Lao, did not appear.

However, Xiao Xun'er did come to participate.

Everyone was very happy at this private banquet.

Afterwards, Wang Chen led Queen Medusa and the other three to rest.

The room had been prepared in advance, so Wang Chen didn't need to bother.

However, since Wang Chen did not fully explain his relationship with Queen Medusa and the others, the Xiao Clan specially prepared five rooms.

While it may not be the optimal choice, at least it avoids any major problems.

Come in.

Just as Wang Chen was preparing to take a good rest, he sensed the situation outside the room.

Xiao Zhan, accompanied by a young boy, hesitated and paced outside the house.

Without even needing to guess, Wang Chen knew that the young man must be Xiao Yan, the protagonist of the original story.

Creak!

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Xiao Zhan stopped hesitating and pushed open the door to come in.

"Xiao Chen, sorry to bother you."

After entering, Xiao Zhan apologized.

However, he still came for Xiao Yan's sake.

After all, Xiao Yan's situation was indeed too unusual.

Even after the Xiao Clan invited some Alchemist to help examine the medicine, they couldn't find any problems.

Having exhausted a lot of resources, Xiao Zhan later felt embarrassed to use the Xiao Clan's resources to hire someone to examine Xiao Yan.

The other elders also had some reservations.

Initially, the three elders also supported Xiao Zhan in asking someone to examine and treat Xiao Yan.

After all, if Xiao Yan could recover his talent, then the Xiao Clan would have another exceptionally talented genius.

On this matter, the Xiao Clan's senior members were all on the same side.

However, after exhausting resources to no avail, although Xiao Zhan still wanted to restore Xiao Yan to normal, the other elders disagreed with this approach.

Instead of wasting resources in a bottomless pit, wouldn't it be better to use them to increase the training of other tribesmen?

In the end, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to agree with the elders' opinions.

However, precisely because of this, Xiao Yan's life became much easier afterward.

With everyone receiving abundant resources, they are all focused on their cultivation and have no time to mock a fallen genius.

Therefore, aside from the very first year, many people mocked Xiao Yan.

In the following years, Xiao Yan became virtually invisible.

If it weren't for Xiao Xun'er still playing with him, the rest of the Xiao Clan probably wouldn't have taken such a fallen genius seriously at all.

Based on Wang Chen's previous performance and the initial information, Xiao Zhan considered Wang Chen as his last hope.

The other elders of the Xiao Clan did not object to Xiao Zhan asking Wang Chen for help whenever possible.

However, she objected to asking Wang Chen for help right now.

After all, in their view, Wang Chen had just returned to his family and needed to rest.

However, Xiao Zhan, who was already somewhat unable to bear it any longer, finally brought Xiao Yan to find Wang Chen under Xiao Yan's earnest gaze.

However, because of his inner turmoil, he lingered at the door without knocking.

Ultimately, if Wang Chen hadn't spoken up, it's unknown how long Xiao Zhan would have hesitated.

Hello, cousin.

Xiao Yan, who had placed all his hopes on Wang Chen, greeted him very politely.

"Come here, let me see."

Knowing the other party's purpose, Wang Chen didn't waste any words and directly called Huohuo over.

He also wanted to try and see if he could find Yao Lao's whereabouts with his current strength.
