Jia Xing Tian

"We only need to make sure news of the Xiao family in the Gama Empire doesn't get out. At least not within ten years. Delay it as much as possible."

According to Xiao Han's estimate, with that senior's pills included, in about ten years, he would be able to enter the peak of Six Star, or even step into Seven Star.

With that cultivation, combined with his own Combat power, even if he faced an early-stage Eight Star Dou Sheng, he could still retreat in one piece.

And once he reached that stage, even if his strength was exposed, the Soul Clan would not be willing to disrupt their own plans by sending someone of an even higher level to deal with him.

After all, even in the entire Soul Clan, there were only a few experts of that strength.

The so-called Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Tribe were only Seven Star Dou Sheng.

As for Eight Star, at that level of cultivation, only the leaders of the Thunder and Flame Tribes and a very small number of existences within the Gu and Soul Clans possessed it.

They could not possibly be sent out.

Doing so would only make the other races wary of the Soul Clan, which would be detrimental to the Soul Clan's plans.

What was more, if they wanted him to disappear without a sound, unless it was a Nine Star Dou Sheng, the Soul Clan currently only had Soul Emperor. But why would someone like that bother capturing him for no reason?

Not to mention that he had always been watched by the Gu Clan Leader, Gu Yuan, making it inconvenient for him to act.

So the principle Xiao Han would follow over the next ten years was to keep his head down. After all, he was not Xiao Yan, that child of destiny, whose enemies were all experience packs one after another, and who had a host of friends and Hong Yan coming to help him.

So he could not be too reckless. His main task was to develop Langya Pavilion and the Xiao family. He had to strive to possess a powerful force of his own by the time of the final battle.

Especially the Xiao family. In the Original work, when the Allied Forces fought the Soul Clan army in the end, the only true member of the Xiao Clan present was Xiao Yan, a junior. The force behind him was only the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, not the Xiao Clan.

With the deep hatred between the Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan, was it that they were unwilling to join the war?

It was that they did not have the strength to join the war. At that time, the strongest people of the Xiao Clan were all juniors of the Xiao family, and the only one who could cope with a war of that level was Xiao Yan alone.

On that entire battlefield, even Dou Wang and Dou Huang became cannon fodder, Dou Zong and Dou Zun were everywhere, and only Dou Sheng had the qualification to become top-tier Combat power.

The Xiao family could only stand aside as spectators.

The thought that this scene would appear once more made Xiao Han feel a wave of frustration in his heart.

Although, according to the plan, they could completely pull a few top experts of the Xiao Clan out of the Heavenly Tomb, that would still only be the Xiao Clan's past glory.

What Xiao Han hoped to see even more was the Xiao family, after experiencing decline, truly rise again. He even wanted to rebuild the Judicator Legion that could truly represent the glory of the Xiao Clan.

Even if, in the end, the Flame Emperor was still needed to save the continent, the people of the Xiao Clan could still proudly declare that they had also taken part in this war.

Sensing the grief and indignation that suddenly came from Xiao Han, Yun Shan was stunned for a moment. He had not expected that fellow, who seemed lazy and casual on the surface, to actually show such emotions.

However...

"Ten years. No problem. I agree."

"The deal is sealed." Then Xiao Han tossed a Jade Bottle toward Yun Shan.

Yun Shan caught it instinctively. When he opened it and looked, he could not help but turn to Xiao Han. "Aren't you afraid I won't be able to do it?"

"That, at least, I can still believe in. After all, you are the Yun Lan Sect's Sect Master, Yun Shan!" Xiao Han said meaningfully.

Yun Shan gave Xiao Han a deep look. No one knew who he was speaking to, but his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"That's right. I am Yun Shan." Yun Shan's pride would never allow him to fail.

"Right, if someone completely shrouded in Black Robe contacts you, I hope you can let me know."

Hm? How could I, Yun Shan, such an open and aboveboard person, possibly mix with that kind of fellow?

Although he did not quite understand, Yun Shan still agreed.

After leaving the Yun Lan Sect.

Xiao Han said quietly, "There's still one last one."

The thought of that stubborn old man, who had devoted his entire life to the royal family, stubborn to the point of being almost adorable, made Xiao Han unable to stop himself from grinning.

Gama Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Jia Xing Tian, who had worked hard for an entire day, rubbed his somewhat sore and swollen eyes. Recently, because something had happened to the Xiao family, as well as the series of troubles that followed, he had exhausted himself both mentally and physically.

As the guardian of the royal family, Jia Xing Tian had always rushed about constantly to maintain the Jia Ma Royal Family.

However, everything in the world always went against one's wishes. Now, the empire's royal family had declined. The Mittel Family and the Yun Lan Sect had always been great enemies of the royal family.

The former had already caused an extremely serious impact on the empire's economy. To put it bluntly, the current Mittel Family could no longer be touched.

Once they were rashly moved against, the entire Gama Empire would fall into turmoil. What was more, the Mittel Family was no pushover either.

Leaving aside the connections they had accumulated over many years through the Mittel Auction House, their own strength was not weak either.

Their clan leader, Hai Bo Dong, had also returned to the family yesterday. With his powerful strength as a Five-Star Dou Huang, in the entire royal family, aside from Jia Xing Tian, this old undying who would be in the ground in not many years, there was no one who could suppress him.

As for the Yun Lan Sect, that went without saying even more. It had always been a transcendent colossus in the Gama Empire. Its disciples had also widely infiltrated the Gama Empire's army and government system.

And the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect had always been synonymous with the strongest person in the Gama Empire, without exception.

Moreover, compared to those two fellows, his own lifespan was already running out. If he died, it would undoubtedly make things even worse for the Gama Imperial Family.

Actually, there had originally been a chance.

Thinking of this, Jia Xing Tian could not help but sigh. Back then, that young man from the Xiao family had left an extremely deep impression on him.

If he could have stayed, he would probably already have become a Dou Zong expert by now, suppressing all petty villains in every direction.

"I want to see a wider world." Those were the little fellow's last words.

"Yo? Old Jia, getting all sentimental again?"

"Ah, I'm getting old, muddled in the head. I'm actually hearing things." Hearing that familiar way of addressing him and that familiar voice, Jia Xing Tian thought he had heard wrong.

"I'd say your body's still in great shape. You can eat and drink just fine." Just then, another sentence popped up from beside him.

At last, Jia Xing Tian reacted. He looked to the side—nothing!

"Over here!"

At that moment, Jia Xing Tian suddenly discovered that a man in white had appeared on the seat that had been empty a moment ago.

His first reaction was vigilance. To think someone could slip in here without making a sound. His strength was not simple.

But immediately after, he felt something was off. That face seemed somewhat familiar. Slowly, it overlapped with the face of a youth in his memories.

He immediately grew excited. "You're not dead?"

Boom~

The aura on Xiao Han's body erupted abruptly, destroying every object in the room. Then he looked at Jia Xing Tian expressionlessly.

"Old Jia, are you that unwilling to welcome me?"

Only then did Jia Xing Tian realize how inappropriate his words had been just now.

"Sorry, I was a little too excited just now. I couldn't control myself."

"But we all thought something had happened to you. You hadn't come back for so long."

"Who spread that rumor? Tell me. I'll go to their door and reason with them."

Xiao Han smiled with narrowed eyes.

This was already the second time. Xiao Han swore that he had better never find out who that person was, or he would definitely make them regret ever coming into this world.

"Let's just forget about that." Jia Xing Tian wiped at the nonexistent cold sweat on his forehead. Knowing Xiao Han's personality extremely well, Jia Xing Tian understood that if Xiao Han really found out, they might have to attend a funeral in a few days.

"You came to find me because of the Xiao Clan?" He then consciously changed the subject.

Xiao Han nodded.

"But this matter is difficult for me too. Our imperial family cannot interfere in affairs between the empire's factions." Jia Xing Tian still thought Xiao Han had come to denounce him because the Xiao Clan had left the imperial capital.

With Xiao Han's current strength, Jia Xing Tian truly could not stop him.

"Hey, Old Jia, you still love jumping to conclusions as much as ever!" Just as Jia Xing Tian was thinking about how to smooth things over today, he suddenly heard Xiao Han's voice.

"Could it be you didn't come because the Xiao Clan left the imperial capital?"

"I'll handle that matter myself. I came this time because I have something I'd like to ask your help with, old man!" At the end, Xiao Han deliberately emphasized his tone.
