Plotting with Xiao Xuan
Xiao Han followed Xiao Xuan into the space, and as soon as he entered, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"That's really impressive!"
What comes into view is a vibrant jungle scene, with a rich energy that seems to want to penetrate into one's body.
The soft sunlight fell on the white robes and dangled through the trees, as if dusting them with gold, creating a warm and soothing atmosphere that brought a sense of drowsiness. In the far distance, a grand palace stood on the plain, its silhouette faintly visible.
As he slowly approached the main hall, Xiao Han looked up at the three characters "Ancestral Temple" on the plaque with a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile:
"Now I just remembered, I'm a 'missing person' in the Xiao Clan family genealogy!"
"Missing person?" Xiao Xuan, who was ahead, stopped in his tracks, quickly realized what was happening, and said in a deep voice:
"You've truly sacrificed too much for the Xiao Clan!"
"The Xiao Clan will never forget your sacrifice!"
Xiao Han shook his head and said, "The Xiao Clan is the place that raised me. I am certainly not the kind of person who would forget kindness."
If Xiao Han were truly a petty and calculating person, he wouldn't have returned to the Xiao Clan after becoming successful. With his strength, wouldn't he be living a carefree life in Central Plains?
"It's just that I'm living in anonymity. At least I'm doing alright. Those younger generations are the ones who should be remembered the most."
Regardless of their status or daily relationships, they are all willing to risk their lives for their families, which is perhaps why this blood bond is so precious in the Fierce Qi Continent.
Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "You're right!"
While Xiao Han certainly provided a lot of help to the Xiao Clan, he mostly just offered Xiao Clan an opportunity. If the younger generation is not ambitious, no matter how capable Xiao Han is, the Xiao Clan will not have achieved its current status.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived Ancestral Temple, where the seats at the very front had been prepared.
After the two were seated, Xiao Han sensed his surroundings and asked in confusion:
"Where are the other ancestors now?"
"They..." Xiao Xuan poured Xiao Han a cup of tea and casually explained:
"I told them to take some men to find out where the Soul Clan is hiding in the Northwest Continent, so that we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Xiao Xuan has always had a very low tolerance for the Soul Clan, the greatest enemy of the Xiao Clan from beginning to end.
If it weren't for the fear of being exposed, Xiao Xuan would have already been unable to suppress his killing intent and wiped the latter out with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han nodded.
"Alright, now tell me why you've come," Xiao Xuan said seriously.
"I don't believe you came back just to see how we old folks are doing."
Hehe~
"Our ancestor was extremely perceptive!" Xiao Han complimented.
Then, under Xiao Xuan's strange gaze, she began to recount the events of the past few days.
After Xiao Han finished speaking, Xiao Xuan pondered briefly and then said:
"Are you planning to send us old guys to Central Plains?"
Noticing Xiao Han's surprise, Xiao Xuan said gently:
"As you said, the Soul Clan has reached the point where they need to kidnap Soul Clan juniors to blackmail you into not attacking them for five years. Therefore, their plan will definitely be implemented within five years, or even sooner."
"Only in this way will we try our best to eliminate you as a destabilizing factor."
Xiao Xuan suddenly laughed, "It seems that even the Soul Emperor is desperate."
In his view, the Soul Clan was probably certain that Xiao Han wouldn't easily give up on that junior named Ye Shenghan.
However, this method carries enormous risks; a single misstep could provoke retaliation from the Langya Pavilion and Xiao Han, regardless of the cost.
Given the cautious nature of the Soul Emperor, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary.
Xiao Han agreed:
"Just as our ancestor said, the Soul Clan is stirring up trouble again. Since it is inconvenient for me to take action, we will need our ancestor to teach the Soul Clan a lesson."
"I never imagined that I wouldn't even have a full year of rest before I have to make a trip to Central Plains," Xiao Xuan said with a playful tone.
"I wonder how those old guys will react when they find out I'm still alive?"
"It should be a pleasant surprise!" Xiao Han said with a smile.
"After all, their ancestor's overwhelming charisma put a lot of pressure on them!"
"That's true!"
Xiao Xuan has regained the demeanor of a peerless genius he was a thousand years ago. Compared to his former arrogance, he now possesses a greater sense of composure accumulated over the years, but his unyielding pride has never disappeared.
"I wonder when and where our ancestors planned to enter?"
"Enter?" Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, then said:
"Then let's go with the Yao Clan!"
In Xiao Xuan's mind, the Stone Clan, which appeared to be the weakest, had a lot of Ancient Races involved due to the patriarch Shi Ren's shady dealings. Taking them down would be easy, but cleaning up the mess would be very troublesome.
On the contrary, the Yao Clan, which seems to have a wide network of connections and friends all over the world thanks to their alchemy skills, is more like an easy target.
Moreover, Xiao Xuan had his own plans. The wealth of the Yao Clan was almost comparable to that of the two strongest ancient soul clans in the world, and in terms of elixir reserves, they were unparalleled.
These old folks have always used the things of the younger generation. After coming to the Xiao Clan, the younger generation, whom they had never met before, treated them with even greater respect and granted their every request, yet they gave nothing in return.
If we don't take this opportunity to give the younger generation some benefit, it would be an absolute injustice!
"Did our ancestors choose the Yao Clan?" Xiao Han did not object, and said confidently:
"Please be patient, ancestor. I will make all the necessary arrangements."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Xiao Xuan had no doubt that Xiao Han could do it. If he didn't even have this much ability, it would be a pipe dream to build a Super faction from scratch and achieve what he has now.
"Oh, at that time, I would also appreciate it if our ancestors could help us obtain the Medicine Tribe's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade."
Xiao Han suddenly said.
"The Tou She Ancient God Jade?" Xiao Xuan was puzzled. Wasn't the plan to gather them all with the help of the Soul Clan? This didn't seem to fit the original plan.
Moreover, once they obtain the Medicine Tribe's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, it will be difficult to ask for other benefits.
Xiao Han sighed slightly and explained, "This junior hopes to leave the Tou She Ancient God Jade to exchange for my nephew."
Xiao Han's claim of forcibly entering the Soul Clan was just talk. As the most mysterious Ancient Races, the Soul Clan had managed the Soul World for countless years. Who knew what hidden tricks they had up their sleeves? He didn't believe he could accurately find Ye Shenghan and escape unscathed.
Therefore, we can only choose a more secure approach.
Xiao Xuan realized the crux of the matter; he was equally helpless in the face of the problem Xiao Han was encountering. If he truly possessed such ability, the Xiao Clan would have been the one to invade the Soul Clan's stronghold back then.
"No problem, I will try my best to get that piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade from the Yao Clan."
"If they continue to stubbornly cling to the Ancient Jade..."
Xiao Xuan chuckled and clenched his fist. "Just take it by force!"
He didn't believe that when all his trump cards were revealed, the Yao Clan, already crippled by the Soul Clan, would still have the strength to stop him.
"Then I will return to prepare and will surely give my ancestor an accurate message within a year."
Xiao Han and said, "At that time, I will await good news from our ancestor."
"Um."
