Yao Lao's doubts
Chapter 896 Yao Lao's Doubts Just as Xiao Lin was preparing for the auction of the Tou She Ancient God Jade, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran had already been back at the Starfall Pavilion with Venner for some time.
Naturally, both the Yao Lao and the Heavenly Fire Venerable left his body.
To be honest, since he had always been carried around by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan was a little uneasy about Yao Lao's sudden departure.
However, since he had returned to the Starfall Pavilion, Yao Lao no longer needed to stay with Xiao Yan.
The same applies to Heavenly Fire Venerable.
Furthermore, just as Yao Lao had predicted, due to Xiao Yan's outstanding performance at the Four Pavilions Assembly, he immediately gained a foothold upon arriving at the Starfall Pavilion.
Not only that, he has now directly surpassed Mu Qingluan, the Chief Disciple the Starfall Pavilion, and become the young pavilion master!
And no one disagrees with this!
Even Mu Qingluan herself became a big fan of Xiao Yan.
This made Nalan Yanran very nervous, fearing that Xiao Yan, who liked to flirt with women everywhere, had gotten involved with some other romantic interest.
Fortunately, Mu Qingluan's feelings for Xiao Yan were purely admiration, and she had no other intentions.
However, this is actually somewhat dangerous.
In this situation, if Xiao Yan were to actively pursue Mu Qingluan, she would most likely not object.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan isn't the type to fall in love with every woman he meets.
He only felt a sense of kinship with Mu Qingluan, his little fangirl.
With this, Xiao Yan has now completely settled down in the Starfall Pavilion.
At the same time, Xiao Yan naturally began to work on the matter of Yao Lao's resurrection.
Since arriving in Central Plains, he has now reached the cultivation level of Nine-Star Dou Zong, and is only one step away from entering the Dou Venerable realm!
Inside the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan was applying to Yao Lao for permission to go out and gain experience.
His purpose in this training was to break through to the Dou Venerable, and also to find out where there was any news about the Dou Sheng body!
"Xiao Yan, I won't stop you from going out to train. However, without me by your side, you'll have to rely on yourself for anything that happens during your training!"
Looking at his proud disciple, the Yao Lao spoke earnestly.
Having spent so much time with Xiao Yan, he naturally knew Xiao Yan's personality.
Therefore, he will not stop Xiao Yan from wanting to gain experience.
However, just as Xiao Yan was somewhat unaccustomed to his absence, he, too, had never left Xiao Yan since his soul awakened, and was also slightly unaccustomed to it at this moment.
But now Xiao Yan has grown to a certain level and is no longer the simple Xiao Yan who still needs to rely on his strength for everything!
Nine-Star Dou Zong cultivation is actually not considered weak in Central Plains.
With all the methods Xiao Yan possesses, he is now capable of fighting even against Low-Star Dou Venerable!
However, Xiao Yan is, after all, his disciple, not to mention that he now possesses the means to contend with Low-Star Dou Venerable.
Even if Xiao Yan becomes Dou Emperor, Yao Lao will most likely still worry about him.
These are the elders!
"Don't worry, teacher, I'll take good care of myself!"
Xiao Yan answered with certainty.
"Xiao Yan, since Yao Chen has already given you instructions, I won't say anything more. The Central Plains may seem calm on the surface, but undercurrents are already surging beneath."
Not to mention that the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan appeared earlier, there are also rumors that less than a year later, a mysterious person will be auctioning the legendary Tou She Ancient God Jade.
There must be Dou Sheng Expert involved behind this!
Over the years, countless forces, including the major Great Emperor clans, have been secretly searching for the person who leaked the message, but all have come up empty-handed.
It can be said that the waters of Central Plains are now being stirred up by some people, becoming increasingly murky and difficult to quell!
Unlike Yao Lao, who had only recently returned to Central Plains and was still unclear about many things, Feng Xian had clearly already sensed the unrest in Central Plains.
Sure enough, as Feng Xian finished speaking, both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao frowned.
Both of them actually saw the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun appear.
After all, who but someone with eyes could not have missed the thunder and dark clouds that covered most of the Central Plains?
Moreover, the oppressive aura that was unintentionally emanated could be felt even through the Starfall Formation.
Without a doubt, Zhukun was the strongest person they had ever seen, without exception!
Fortunately, the other party only made a symbolic announcement of their return and did not make any other unusual moves.
Otherwise, everyone in the entire Central Plains would probably be living in fear.
After all, in this era, the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint of the Emperor Soul are the strongest!
However, at the same time, Xiao Yan also felt an immense longing for it!
That's the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent, after all; who wouldn't want to reach that level?
As for the auction of the Tou She Ancient God Jade, Xiao Yan doesn't seem to care much about it now.
If I had to put it into words, it would be, "Wow, what an amazing thing!" That was Xiao Yan's thought.
It's important to know that although Xiao Yan now knows that the current Xiao Household is the same as the former Xiao Clan.
However, he didn't know much about the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
He was also unaware that the Eight Great Emperor Clans of that time had jointly divided up the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
However, while Xiao Yan was unaware of the details, Yao Lao did have some understanding of them.
Therefore, when Feng Xian told him about this, Yao Lao also showed an incredulous expression.
Because he knew that the other Emperor Clan had already regarded the Tou She Ancient God Jade as an ancestral heirloom and would never put it up for auction.
Of!
Therefore, it becomes clear who the Ancient Jade originally belonged to in the auction of the Tou She Ancient God Jade less than a year later.
Besides the Tou She Ancient God Jade belonging to the Xiao Clan, who else could it be?
However, Yao Lao knew some of Xiao Lin's strength.
Therefore, in his view, the Tou She Ancient God Jade should be in Xiao Lin's hands.
But now someone is actually planning to hold an auction in Central Plains!
This immediately made the Yao Lao realize that something was wrong.
However, he wasn't sure if Xiao Lin was behind it.
If so, what is the other party's purpose?
If not, then the problem is even bigger!
When he left the Xiao Household with Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin's strength was no weaker than his own at his peak.
Over the years, their strength has clearly improved significantly.
The person who was able to snatch the Tou She Ancient God Jade from him was definitely not simple!
However, relatively speaking, the Yao Lao still leans more towards the first possibility.
That's Xiao Yan's grandfather, Xiao Lin, probably plotting something.
It was precisely because of this that, after hesitating for a moment, Yao Lao did not tell Xiao Yan the truth about the relationship between the Tou She Ancient God Jade and the Eight Great Emperor Clans.
After all, this involves the Dou Sheng level, which is beyond Xiao Yan's current capabilities.
