Sick

Without exchanging many words with Xiao Zhan, the group landed on an open space on one side of the Testing Square after finding a good spot in the sky.

As the Magical Beast landed, everyone could finally see Magical Beast ferocious appearance. The terrifying snake heads caused many of the young men and women of the Xiao Clan to show expressions of fear, and they retreated several steps further from the already considerable distance.

Although many of them had seen Magical Beast before, being stared at by Magical Beast eyes still filled them with fear.

"Everyone, come down!"

Lin Qing waved to the group.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Ling Qingzhu, and the others disembark from the Magical Beast, the rest of the Xiao Clan turned their gazes towards them.

Who are those people?

"Cousin Xiao Yu is back too!"

"Isn't that Lin Qing?"

"What kind of Magical Beast are these?"

"..."

Although the Xiao Clan members were somewhat curious about Ling Qingzhu and the others, they mainly focused their attention on Lin Qing and the other group, as well as the several Magical Beasts. The aura emanating from these Magical Beast was even more terrifying than that of the clan leader. Fortunately, Qing Lin directly stored the four beasts into his spatial storage, which allowed the Xiao Clan family members to breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!"

The Xiao Clan didn't know how Qing Lin had done it; they only assumed it was some kind of trick by a powerful person. But Yao Chen naturally knew.

"I never thought I'd see the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Queen Medusa, and the Humanoid Magical Beast again. The people around him are no ordinary people either. It seems this kid's master is also an old monster!"

"Hahaha! Lin Qing, it really is you back!"

As the Great Elder finished speaking, the Xiao Clan's higher-ups arrived in front of Lin Qing and his group.

"Haha, Great Elder, it's been a long time!"

Lin Qing respectfully called out to the Great Elder.

At the same time, everyone else also turned their attention to Lin Qing. You see, Lin Qing was not only the former number one genius of the Xiao Clan who had become an apprentice of a high-level Alchemist, but he was also a legendary Dou Zong powerhouse. So they were also very curious about where Lin Qing had reached now.

"Grandfather!"

Xiao Yu greeted the Great Elder with a smile, and after greeting several elders of the Xiao Clan, the group headed in a grand procession toward the Xiao Clan's Reception Hall.

Watching Lin Qing and the others leave, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting in the corner, had a complicated expression, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

He used to dream of catching up with Lin Qing, but judging from the current situation, he'll never catch up with this terrifying guy in his lifetime!

Shaking his head somewhat dejectedly, Xiao Yan walked towards his room.

He no longer has the ability to catch up. Not only is his opponent more talented, but his cultivation level has also reached the legendary Dou Zong. He has no hope left.

The Xiao Clan was more lively than ever before, not only because it was the day of the test, but also because a genius had returned!

At this moment, the once spacious and quiet Reception Hall of the Xiao Clan was now crowded with members of the Xiao Clan.

In the center sat the powerful figures of the family. The elders and patriarch, who usually had solemn expressions, were all beaming with smiles. Of course, the most eye-catching among them was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Hehe, Lin Qing, the family's rapid development over the years is all thanks to you! Without you, the family wouldn't have so many powerful members, nor would we have been able to establish a relationship with the Mittel Family!"

At this moment, the Great Elder's old face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Hehe, Great Elder, you flatter me. It's all thanks to everyone's hard work! I was just making a deal with the family back then!" Lin Qing smiled slightly.

Lin Qing replied that the praise from the elders and his uncle was all due to their own hard work and dedication.

He gave up some resources in exchange for the family's Emperor Jade. Although the Xiao Clan, who had raised him, was somewhat at a loss, it was just a mutually beneficial transaction. The fact that the Xiao Clan had developed to this point was the result of the joint efforts of all its members. If the Xiao Clan family hadn't been ambitious, what he gave them would have at most allowed Xiao Clan to surpass other families in Wutan City, rather than completely dominate the entire Wutan City.

He always remembered the kindness of his family in raising him. After he became an emperor, the Xiao Clan should be able to utilize a portion of the Dou Emperor Bloodline. At that time, they could provide the Xiao Clan with Pocket World to live in and then protect Xiao Clan.

As for what comes after that, everything will depend on the Xiao Clan themselves.

He's not a nanny; he can't protect the Xiao Clan forever.

Of course, while Lin Qing thought this way, the others didn't. After all, what was the Emperor Jade? Even if they knew, it wouldn't matter, because they couldn't collect all eight pieces of Ancient Jade, and they might even face extinction because of it.

Moreover, they didn't feel they had suffered a loss. Leaving aside the dozens of Mystic Tier Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, the gold coins and Medicinal Pill alone would have been enough for the Xiao Clan to accumulate over hundreds of years without eating or drinking.

Before this, the highest-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills of the Xiao Clan was only at the intermediate level of the Mystic Tier. Not to mention that this technique had attribute requirements and could not be cultivated at will.

Furthermore, to maintain secrecy, only the clan leader can cultivate this Cultivation Technique. If the clan leader's attributes don't match, then sorry, they can only cultivate other, lower-level Cultivation Technique.

The Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique that Lin Qing provided had already greatly made up for this shortcoming.

Not to mention the hundreds of Mystic Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, as well as some Medicinal Pill that Lin Qing later had Xiao Yu and the others bring back. Combined with what he had given them before, these were enough to create a top-tier power in the Jia Ma Empire, and even in the Black-Corner Region, these things would be enough to stir up a bloodbath.

Although these things weren't considered anything special by Lin Qing, that was only in comparison to Lin Qing and his group who had already broken through to the Dou Emperor level.

After exchanging a few more words, Xiao Zhan turned his attention to the others around Lin Qing.

"Qing'er, do you know the names of these friends?"

"Uncle, these are all my friends, especially these two, the purple-haired father and daughter, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and his daughter. They are both Dou Huang expert and will be guest elders of the Xiao Clan in the future, helping me to protect the Xiao Clan."

"This little girl with the disdainful eyes is our Headmaster's granddaughter, Zi Yan, and she's also Dou Huang expert. And this one..."

Lin Qing introduced the Xiao Clan to those around him.

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's introduction, they naturally had no doubts about Lin Qing, so everyone in the Xiao Clan family gasped in surprise.

Everyone was terrified. So many powerful individuals—they were probably capable of destroying the entire Jia Ma Empire!

Especially those few Dou Zong and Dou Emperor who were about the same age as Lin Qing, they felt like they had wasted their lives.

When did Dou Emperor and Dou Zong become so young?!

Lin Qing had naturally anticipated the reaction of the Xiao Clan family members, since the people he brought back were indeed stronger.
