The Reversed Xiao Xuan
When Xiao Han emerged from seclusion, he was stunned by the scene below.
Countless disciples and Elder of the Langya Pavilion sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on their cultivation. Some were even sweating profusely, their brows furrowed, yet they were still unwilling to give up.
Is the cultivation atmosphere in their Langya Pavilion really that good? Moreover, they don't even go to the Cultivation Secret Chamber. Perhaps the infrastructure in the pavilion can no longer meet the needs and they need to increase funding?
He also saw the powerful members of the Langya Pavilion, including the Langya Guard, doing the work of porters, carrying the unconscious disciples Elder to a distance.
Only...
These people are moving rather stiffly!
"Your breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul has brought quite a good opportunity to the members of the Pavilion," came Yi Huang's teasing voice from beside Xiao Han.
Xiao Han turned around, puzzled, and asked, "An opportunity?"
At this moment, Xiao Xuan, who had arrived at the same time as Yi Huang, explained with a smile, "The Emperor Realm Soul is not so simple. At the moment of breakthrough, it will resonate with heaven and earth and trigger energy tides."
"Taking this opportunity to cultivate will yield twice the results with half the effort."
"If you, my lady, hadn't activated the defensive Grand Array in time and sealed the strange phenomenon within the Langya Pavilion, I'm afraid... the entire Southern Region of Central Plains would have seen this phenomenon."
Xiao Xuan then said with a nostalgic expression, "When I broke through in the Xiao Clan, it was the same. At that time, the Xiao Clan suddenly gained several more Dou Sheng Expert, and the rest also gained a lot."
"What a pity..." Xiao Xuan looked dejected.
Xiao Han wisely changed the subject, asking, "Then why did someone faint?"
"Hehe~" Xiao Xuan snapped out of his reverie, "If you're not strong enough, you won't get any benefits."
"Alright, let's leave that issue aside for now," Xiao Xuan waved his hand.
"Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
Xiao Han suddenly became serious and said solemnly, "I hope that our ancestor can accompany me and the Soul Clan to exchange the Tou She Ancient God Jade for my nephew."
"Oh?" Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, "You're not hiding your identity as a member of the Xiao Clan anymore?"
Xiao Xuan's willingness to condescend to appear in the same place as others was a clear signal.
"There's no need." Xiao Han shook his head, his expression indifferent. "With the final battle imminent, it's better to reveal our identities and let everyone know about the rise of my Xiao Clan."
Under normal circumstances, both Xiao Xuan and Xiao Han would arouse the vigilance of other Ancient Races.
Now, however, other Ancient Races, including the Gu Clan, are in dire need of strong reinforcements. At this time, identity is no longer important; it is something to consider only in order to survive.
For the Soul Clan, it was a life-or-death relationship, and they had no intention of turning hostility into friendship.
Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, "I can already imagine the expressions on those old guys' faces when they find out that my Xiao Clan has two Nine Star."
"Should I contact Gu Yuan and the others?"
Xiao Xuan continued without pausing, "Just as we predicted, the Tou She Ancient God Jade of the Gu Lei Yan Three Tribes, and Gu Lei Yan—all fell into the hands of the Soul Clan."
Xiao Han could clearly sense the former's gloating, and he only heard Xiao Xuan chuckle as he said:
"The Gu Clan is the worst off. They never learn their lesson. They actually put our Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade together with their Gu Clan's, and they were all wiped out by that traitor named Gu Yang."
"I don't understand what those three guys were thinking. Don't they know that the safest thing to do is to put it on the strongest person?"
"..." Xiao Xuan continued to attack alone.
Xiao Han and Yi Huang: "..."
The two listened blankly to Xiao Xuan's rambling. They had never imagined that their ancestor, who was supposed to be stern and unsmiling, would have such a side.
"This... perhaps our ancestors were bored in the Heavenly Tomb." Xiao Han managed to come up with an explanation.
"What exactly happened?" Xiao Han quietly asked Yi Huang.
Yi Huang replied, "The Soul Emperor led his men directly to the Gu Clan, then used a feint to steal the Ancient Jade by taking advantage of a traitorous Gu Clan Elder."
He then revealed a hint of helplessness, "The Gu Clan are alright, they've dealt with quite a few traitors."
"The Thunder Flame Clans are simply unbelievable. Their Elder betrayed them and were immediately taken away. They didn't even manage to keep them here."
Yi Huang suddenly chuckled, seemingly remembering something, and said to the suspicious Xiao Han, "You don't know, when Yao Dan, the Medicine Tribe Clan Leader, saw that the three clans had lost the Ancient Jade, he almost burst out laughing."
Xiao Han understood. Was this the psychological balance that came from seeing others suffer?
When Xiao Han and the other came to their senses, they saw that Xiao Xuan had already stopped, staring at them with a complicated expression. Just as they were about to explain, they heard Xiao Xuan shake his head and sigh:
"I'm getting old, the younger generation is starting to look down on me..."
The corners of their mouths twitched. Had their personalities reversed? Give that aloof ancestor back!
But Xiao Xuan was still quite reliable; after grieving for a moment, he said:
"Now, all that's left is the Tou She Ancient God Jade in your hands. The Soul Emperor will definitely not let this go. When his army invades, our current strength will not be enough to stop the Soul Clan's advance."
Xiao Han nodded. "Please ask our ancestors to send a message to the Ancient Races, asking them to send as many powerful individuals as possible to Langtian City within three days."
"No problem," Xiao Xuan readily agreed.
He quickly changed the subject, asking, "Kid, when are your reinforcements arriving?"
"What reinforcements?" Xiao Han asked, feigning confusion.
"It seems someone has gotten too big for their britches after breaking through! They no longer respect their ancestors." Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes, his body already radiating a scorching crimson light.
"Oh dear!" Xiao Han quickly said, "Ancestor, please calm down. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. The real battle will not be over in a few days."
"You forgot about that place?" Xiao Han blinked.
Xiao Xuan nodded, understandingly replying, "That's true."
They never expected to completely crush the Soul Clan in Central Plains; the Ancient Soul Clan 'Ancient Emperor Cave Abode still had a great gift waiting for them!
"Let's treat this as a training exercise. We'll also need to trouble our ancestor to return to the Northwest Continent and bring over the Xiao Clan's experts."
A revenge attempt a thousand years later would feel somewhat illegitimate without the involvement of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Xuan shared the same thought and agreed, saying, "You're right!"
"Those youngsters of the Xiao Clan probably can't wait any longer."
"Moreover, the Xiao Clan now has a formidable force."
Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and then smiled.
Xiao Han looked forward to it; there weren't many teams that could earn the praise of the proud and arrogant Ancestor Xiao Xuan!
"By the way, when the time comes, please ask our ancestor to give this to Xiao Zhan as well." As he spoke, Xiao Han took out a Jade Disc, the light that flowed on it from time to time made Xiao Xuan feel quite strange.
"What is this thing? It's rather mysterious!"
"This is a great gift for the Soul Clan. Because the setup has taken too long, we need other people to lend a hand."
He then handed a jade slip to Xiao Xuan, saying, "This contains the instructions for setting it up."
"You've got quite a few strange and unusual things in your hands, kid," Xiao Xuan said with a shake of his head and a smile after taking the item.
"Then let's look forward to good news from our ancestors."
"Wait!"
