Xiao Han: I've Traveled Through Time?

After Xiao Han returned to Central Plains, he saw the intelligence that had been collected and organized and placed on the table.

After only a few quick glances, I was instantly filled with question marks.

"Have I traveled through time?" Xiao Han asked in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Yi Huang asked curiously upon seeing this.

After receiving the Scroll from Xiao Han Yi Huang quickly replicated his expression: surprise, astonishment, and confusion—a complex mix of emotions that ultimately coalesced into one sentence:

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Han shrugged. "As it turns out, we underestimated the appetite of the Soul Clan."

Xiao Han never dreamed that the Soul Clan would attack both the Yao Clan and the Stone Clan simultaneously, and more importantly...

They actually succeeded!

Not to mention the Stone Clan, they were almost wiped out by a single person. If it weren't for his principle of a pleasant transaction, in which he gifted a Space Scroll personally made by Zhu Kun, the Stone Clan's bloodline would have been extinct.

The Yao Clan was slightly luckier. Thanks to the existence of their Ancestor Xiao Xuan, they managed to retain their main base in the Medicine World. However, the wounds of the war were still extremely painful. Half of their Dou Sheng Elder were wiped out, and most of their Yao Clan powerhouses were lost.

Even the Medicine Emperor Remnant Soul was brought out, which meant that the trump card, comparable to a full-force attack from Nine Star Dou Sheng, was completely useless.

In addition, the benefits received by Ancestor Xiao Xuan were depleted by two-thirds after the war. Without special opportunities, it will probably take the Yao Clan of years to recover.

"I don't know whether the Gu Lei Yan Three Tribes should be happy or sad!" Yi Huang shook her head with regret. Two of the Ancient Races were ruined just like that.

In normal times, the death of a few Ancient Races might cause others to feel "heartbroken" but secretly be overjoyed.

After all, the cake is only so big; if fewer people share it, they can naturally get more.

But things are different now. The Soul Clan's current posture clearly indicates that they are preparing to attack all Ancient Races. Coupled with the terrifying strength they have displayed, including the Soul Race Patriarch, Soul Emperor, and three other Nine Star Dou Sheng- level warriors, it is enough to send chills down one's spine.

The Gu Lei Yan Three Tribes really didn't have the confidence to fight to the bitter end.

"I reckon the Gu Clan are probably scrambling to contact allies right now!" Xiao Han said with a smile. The Soul Clan's strength was truly terrifying; it was simply beyond the capabilities of the few remaining Ancient Races.

"Huh?" Xiao Han was slightly taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Since our ancestor is here, why not show yourself?"

"Hehe~" Xiao Xuan's figure slowly emerged from the void, chuckling as he spoke:

"Your strength has truly improved significantly; your Dou Qi cultivation is probably no less than mine now!"

Xiao Han replied, "I am still quite far from being as good as my ancestor."

Xiao Xuan also understood where the so-called gap came from. The boost that Emperor Realm Soul provided to combat power was terrifying. As long as Xiao Han did not cross that threshold, he would never be Xiao Xuan's opponent at the same level.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan smiled faintly and said, "This time, it was this old fellow who was presumptuous."

"Once we reach the Gu Clan, I'll give you a big gift!"

At this moment, Xiao Xuan regretted not killing that thing called the Heavenly Tomb before leaving. It would have been a nice gift!

Looking back, I was so excited that I practically lost my mind!

"A great gift?" Xiao Han was taken aback, then realized what he had been ignoring when he thought of the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

However, he didn't tell anyone, since only the Energy Body within the Heavenly Tomb could sense the existence of the Heavenly Tomb Soul. How could an outsider like him, who had never even set foot in the Heavenly Tomb, possibly know about it?

He was grateful for Xiao Xuan's kindness, but Xiao Han already had an excellent way to quickly enhance his Soul Strength, so he just needed to wait patiently for a while longer.

Then, Xiao Han asked expectantly, "I wonder how much our ancestor gained from his trip to the Yao Clan?"

Upon hearing this, even the usually calm and composed Xiao Xuan couldn't help but smile, remarking, "The Yao Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a race of Alchemist; their foundation is incredibly rich."

In other words, lots of money!

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Xuan looked at the hundreds of Storage Ring densely packed before him. Xiao Han and Yi Huang Forbidden Ground widen their eyes, the glint of gold almost blinding them.

"Damn it," Xiao Han felt a wave of desolation wash over him. He looked at the Langya Pavilion Chief Steward beside him and asked, "How much treasure does our Langya Pavilion possess?"

Yi Huang unconsciously immersed her consciousness into the Storage Ring. After detaching herself again, her expression was complex, and she said with a sense of melancholy:

"Even if you emptied our warehouse, we still wouldn't have this much."

That's it...

That's it?

Xiao Han chuckled inwardly. He had thought they had achieved financial freedom, but now it seemed that poverty had truly limited his imagination.

Seeing the two juniors looking so dejected, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and comforted them:

"The Yao Clan possesses unique abilities, accumulated over countless years. Your power has immense potential, and in the future, it will likely not be much weaker than that of the Ancient Races."

These words were not merely words of comfort, but rather a judgment made by Xiao Xuan based on his understanding of the Langya Pavilion.

Unlike the Ancient Races, the Langya Pavilion, which originated from the Central Plains, has a wide variety of business methods and its emphasis on commerce is arguably the highest among all powerful groups.

If we were to use an analogy, the Ancient Races were like landlords, living off their unique resources and abilities.

Langya Pavilion, on the other hand, consists of merchants who not only develop various commodities but also use various means to concentrate more resources in their own hands.

With an ambition to become wealthy, coupled with the ability to maintain that wealth, Langya Pavilion's accumulation of resources will only accelerate.

"Oh, right, and this is too." Xiao Xuan said, taking out a crystal-clear, round jade Jade Slip engraved with ancient patterns.

The moment the Jade Slip appeared, Xiao Han's heart trembled.

"Thank you for your trouble, ancestors!"

Only with the Tou She Ancient God Jade can everything be considered complete.

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor," Xiao Xuan said casually.

When Xiao Xuan asked for the Tou She Ancient God Jade, Yao Dan agreed almost without thinking.

Not only because the former was the benefactor of the Yao Clan, but also because Yao Dan knew very well that the Yao Clan in its current state had neither the need for nor the ability to protect the Tou She Ancient God Jade, it would be better to do a favor and form a good relationship with Xiao Xuan, who was once the strongest and is now at the peak.

Before leaving, Yao Dan invited me to go with him to the Gu Clan to discuss the alliance against the Soul Clan.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Han, "When are you planning to leave the stage?"

Although reluctant to admit it, based on the strength displayed by the Soul Clan, Xiao Xuan understood that the power of other Ancient Races alone was no longer enough to easily contend with the Soul Clan. Therefore, the intervention of the Central Plains forces was necessary.

According to his estimation, the representatives of the Ancient Races were probably already on their way to the Langya Pavilion and Heavenly Mansion.

Xiao Han smiled mysteriously. "Ancestor, I've just realized that the Ancient Races seem to be incredibly wealthy!"

"What do you want to do?" A bad feeling crept into Xiao Xuan's heart.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little short on cash lately, and I'm hoping to borrow some resources from my friends from the Ancient Races."

Then, under Xiao Xuan's increasingly strange gaze, Xiao Han revealed his "get rich" plan.

Xiao Xuan didn't know that he disagreed, but before leaving, he simply stomped on the threshold and broke it.
