Xiao Zhan in Place

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three men changed drastically.

Gu Lie said in a deep voice, "Clan leader, the current clan leader of the Xiao Clan is Xiao Zhan, whom you mentioned before."

"Hmm." Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

Gu Lie frowned, puzzled, and asked, "But didn't you say, Clan Chief, that Xiao Zhan is just an ordinary Dou Zun?"

"How could he...?"

Gu Lie didn't elaborate, his mind filled with doubts.

Gu Yuan once commented on Xiao Zhan: although he was not strong, he was not lacking in responsibility and domineering presence as a clan leader, and he was not a brainless fool.

That's why Gu Lie was so shocked by the news of Xiao Zhan's arrival in the Gu Clan. With his intelligence, he must have known what kind of treatment an ordinary Dou Zun would receive in the Gu Clan, a place teeming with powerful figures.

Even though he was the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, who had once been on good terms with the Gu Clan.

This identity will not only bring him no benefit, but will also make him extremely embarrassed.

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly, looking somewhat surprised, and said, "He's not Dou Zun now, but..."

Amidst the three people's astonishment, he slowly uttered two words:

"Dou Sheng!"

The incident began after Elder Yao Xiao Zhan and his group entered the Ancient Saint City.

After entering the prepared room, Elder Yao looked at Xiao Zhan curiously and asked, "I wonder what Xiao Clan Leader plans to do?"

"What should we do?" Xiao Zhan put down his cup and chuckled, "We'll wait, of course."

"Wait?" Elder Yao asked, puzzled.

Xiao Zhan said easily, "Don't worry, Elder Yao, I'm here to deliver something. As long as I deliver it, I'm not afraid they won't accept it. Why worry so much?"

"Moreover..." Xiao Zhan said meaningfully, "With such a great figure Elder Yao personally visiting the Gu Clan, I reckon someone will come to greet him very soon!"

The Elder Yao had no doubt about this. Heavenly Mansion had always been fighting against the Soul Hall, and the Gu Clan, as the enemy of the Soul Clan, would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to support the Soul Clan's hostile forces.

As long as the other party isn't stupid, he, as a Dou Sheng, will naturally be treated with special attention.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, footsteps were heard coming from outside the door. "Please come in!" the Elder Yao said casually.

The door opened, and an elderly man in a white robe came into view.

"I, an old man of Tong Xuan, have met the Medicine Saint!"

Elder Tong Xuan, who was in charge of this coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony, immediately put down his work and came to visit the Medicine Saint when he heard that he had come to the Gu Clan.

After all, regardless of the opponent's strength Dou Sheng or his status as the Heavenly Mansion Master, either one of these factors would be enough to make the Gu Clan take the matter seriously.

He then turned to Xiao Zhan, who was sitting opposite Elder Yao and seemingly engaged in lively conversation, and asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is...?"

In Tong Xuan's perception, the opponent's aura was equally strong, at least stronger than his own, and he was already Half-Saint level expert. Thus, the latter's strength was self-evident...

However, what truly shocked Elder Tong Xuan was Xiao Zhan's slowly uttered words. "I am Xiao Zhan, the current patriarch of the Xiao Clan. Greetings Elder Tong Xuan!"

Elder Tong Xuan's sharp eyes suddenly narrowed, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "The Xiao Clan Chief?!"

Before Xiao Zhan and his companion finished their conversation with Elder Tong Xuan, another problem arose with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ding mocked mercilessly, "Little Yanzi, you're really surrounded by rivals in love in this Gu Clan; you'll find it hard to move an inch!"

Just moments ago, as the two were having a pleasant conversation, a voice suddenly came from outside:

"The next sparring partners are Yang Hao, the Third Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, and... Xiao Yan, the champion of the Pill Assembly!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened. He had been tricked!

After laughing, Xiao Ding's face hardened. He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Go up and teach them a lesson!"

"Father said that this time, when the Xiao family comes to the Gu Clan, our Xiao Clan must not back down!"

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. Sometimes, when dealing with Ancient Races like the Gu Clan who have a high opinion of themselves, compromise and concession will not make them respect you, but will only make them look down on you and embolden them.

"Trying to bully the weak?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself, "I'm afraid your hands aren't strong enough!"

Xinlan and Xian'er, watching from afar, were equally drawn to this unexpected scene. Xian'er gazed at the expectant Xinlan and said with a playful tone:

"Xinlan, which one do you think is better?"

Xinlan paused for a moment, then, without thinking further, casually said, "It should be Xiao Yan, right? That guy was pretty good in the second round of the Pill Assembly Gathering!"

"Oh!" Xian'er's tone was ambiguous.

"And what about you, Senior Sister?" Xinlan suddenly asked.

"Me?" Xian'er said calmly, "It should be Xiao Yan too!"

In her view, Xiao Yan was at the peak of Six Star, while the third commander Yang Hao was only at the peak of five stars. With a difference of one star, if she couldn't win, Xiao Yan could pack his bags and leave.

As expected, within half a minute of stepping onto the stage, Xiao Yan had thoroughly beaten Yang Hao, completely dominating him, and then casually walked off the stage.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding, who was sitting above, was about to pour Xiao Yan a cup of tea to celebrate. But when he caught sight of the Second Commander blocking the way, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he disappeared from the room with a slight movement.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, Xiao Ding suddenly appeared, pulled him behind him, and stared at Lin Xiu, who was clad in silver armor, saying without emotion, "It seems you want to get your revenge?"

"Who are you?" Lin Xiu was already extremely annoyed because his little brother had been beaten up, and he was about to retaliate when the man in front of him suddenly stopped him, speaking in a rather unfriendly tone.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding chuckled and said, "I am Xiao Ding, Xiao Yan's elder brother. Since my third brother has already made a move, I, as the elder brother, naturally cannot just stand by and watch."

"If you wish to fight, I'll gladly oblige."

"Big brother..." Xiao Yan was about to say that he hadn't had enough fighting yet when Xiao Ding's voice came to his ear.

"Don't worry, you'll be the one to handle things from now on. I'll take care of these little things for you."

Since Xiao Ding had already said all that, Xiao Yan had nothing to say and could only remain silent and leave.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had left, Lin Xiu's face showed anger. He looked coldly at the smiling Xiao Ding and said in a chilling voice, "Since you want to stand up for your brother, then please do so!"

The heated exchange between the younger generation unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the sharp-eyed seniors.

Elder Tong Xuan stared in surprise at the two Xiao Clan brothers on the field, then turned to Xiao Zhan and said, "It seems that Xiao Clan Leader came prepared this time!"

Both Xiao Clan brothers are at the Six Star Dou Zun level. Such cultivation is considered absolute genius in the outside world, and even among the Gu Clan, few can compare with them.

The fact that the other party had exactly two people made Elder Tong Xuan realize that they were probably there for the Heavenly Tomb. He sighed inwardly, wondering what kind of trouble those Elders were going to cause this time!

If the Xiao Clan is in decline, it might be feasible to deny them a place by claiming that they have been far from the Central Plains for many years and are no longer Ancient Races.

But the Xiao Clan is now like a centipede, dead but not stiff!

Many clan leaders are still Dou Sheng, not to mention whether there are other powerful figures within their clans. This level of strength already surpasses that of most forces in the Central Plains.

This quota issue is going to be difficult to resolve!

While feeling troubled, Elder Tong Xuan couldn't help but marvel. He had thought that after Xiao Xuan's fall a thousand years ago, all the high-ranking experts of the Xiao Clan died in battle, the remaining members of the Xiao Clan scattered and fled, and the Dou Di Bloodline was abandoned, the Xiao Clan Gathering decline.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao Clan still possesses such profound heritage; they truly deserve to be descendants of Xiao Xuan.
