Slaying the Hun Clan Dou Sheng, Ancestor Xiao Xuan
"Human aura?!"
"What delicious flesh and blood!"
Xiao Yan and Xun'er entered the third level, immediately attracting the attention of the energy body on that level.
The third level is different from the previous two. Many powerful individuals are gathered here, and nine-star energy bodies are everywhere. Among them are energy bodies that can rival Half-Saints or even Dou Sheng.
Each one is a ruler of their respective area on the third level, possessing extraordinary strength.
"Hehehe, I never expected to run into little girl from the Gu Clan while just out for a stroll. How exciting!"
The two had not walked far when they arrived at a rocky area.
Suddenly, black mist spread out, and when it dissipated, two terrifying energy beings with the strength of Dou Sheng appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Xun'er.
Their gazes were fixed on Xun'er beside Xiao Yan, and they licked their lips, their greed undisguised.
Hearing the laughter, Xiao Yan knew without even thinking who the newcomer was.
"Hun Diao, is it? Are there any Hun Clan energy beings in the Heavenly Tomb with similar strength to yours?" Xiao Yan asked the two Gray-Robed Elders in front of him with indifferent eyes.
The old man named Hun Diao was taken aback upon hearing this, clearly surprised that Xiao Yan knew his name.
Before he could answer, Xiao Yan had already teleported to their faces.
"You!" Hun Diao's pupils shrank sharply, clearly not expecting this junior to be so fast.
"I'm asking you a question!" Xiao Yan reached out with both hands at the same time, grabbing Hun Diao and the other old man by the neck, and then lifting them up together like chicks.
"Cough cough cough... you!" Hun Diao and the other man looked terrified.
They originally thought Xiao Yan and his companion were lambs to the slaughter, but they never expected that they themselves would be the ones to be slaughtered.
Pfft! Pfft!
Xiao Yan didn't waste words with them. With a slight exertion of force, Hun Diao Hun Diao of One-Star Dou Sheng, exploded and eventually turned into two crystal cores rich in energy.
The commotion here also attracted the attention of the other powerful figures on the third floor.
Xiao Yan's swift killing of two One-Star Dou Sheng terrified those who were secretly watching him. They fled as far away as possible, fearing that Xiao Yan would also kill them.
"Brother Xiao Yan is amazing." Xun'er stepped forward and praised Xiao Yan without reservation.
Her beautiful big eyes were filled with admiration for Xiao Yan; she was definitely a lovestruck little thing.
"My Xun'er has such a sweet tongue." Xiao Yan smiled and patted the little girl's head.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also collected the two One-Star Dou Sheng level Energy Cores seized from Hun Diao and handed them over to Xun'er.
This thing is a really good thing for Xun'er right now.
Then, as if sensing something, Xiao Yan looked towards a nearby void.
Without hesitation, he bowed in that direction. "Descendant Xiao Yan greets his ancestor!"
"Eight-Star Dou Sheng cultivation level, and the perception of Emperor Realm Soul —that's truly astonishing!"
A voice rang out, filled with excitement and exhilaration.
Immediately afterwards, ripples appeared in the void in front of the two, and a figure dressed in a light blue robe silently emerged.
He was a middle-aged man, extremely tall and imposing, with long black hair and dark, unfathomable eyes that were as deep as black holes. He exuded both authority and a touch of approachability.
The visitor was none other than Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao Clan!
Xiao Xuan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, his deep, star-like eyes sweeping over Xiao Yan before his face revealed undisguised admiration. "Unexpectedly, with the Dou Di Bloodline in our Xiao Clan depleted, we have produced such a peerless genius as you! The Xiao Clan is destined for prosperity!"
Xiao Xuan could sense that Xiao Yan did not possess the aura of Dou Di Bloodline.
In other words, Xiao Yan's current cultivation level is not due to the Dou Di Bloodline, but rather to his own efforts.
Even Xiao Xuan himself was ashamed of his own shortcomings in this regard.
Faced with Xiao Xuan's praise, Xiao Yan simply smiled slightly, showing no signs of pride.
Seeing this, Xun'er immediately recognized the person before her and respectfully followed Xiao Yan in bowing. "Junior Gu Xun'er greets Senior Xiao Xuan."
"Oh?" Xiao Xuan's gaze shifted to Xun'er, who was bowing to him. "Your bloodline is very similar to Gu Yuan's..."
"Gu Yuan is my father..." Xun'er looked at Xiao Xuan with some trepidation upon hearing this, and replied respectfully.
"So she's Gu Yuan's daughter. No wonder her bloodline is so special. She truly surpasses her father!" Xiao Xuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan and Xun'er, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "However, in the end, it still benefits my Xiao Clan..."
Xiao Xuan couldn't help but admire Gu Yuan's loyalty.
Not only did he take care of the Xiao Clan as agreed back then, but he also arranged for his own daughter to marry into the Xiao Clan. He was truly a very generous person.
If they have the chance to meet again in the future, he will definitely go and thank them in person.
Xun'er could easily understand Xiao Xuan's meaning, and a shy blush appeared on her beautiful face.
"Come back to the tomb with me first. Because of the Heavenly Tomb, I cannot leave it. Right now, I am just a projection." Xiao Xuan said, walking deeper into the Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er nodded and followed Xiao Xuan.
The three flew for a while and finally arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.
The surrounding space was as black as ink, and the light around it was extremely dim, as if one were in a void, giving one a sense of bewilderment and panic.
Sensing Xun'er's discomfort, Xiao Yan took Xun'er small hand in his large hand, and the power of the Horse Talisman surged out to help alleviate her discomfort.
"This is my tomb..."
Xiao Xuan pointed to an ancient Stone Stele and introduced it with a faint smile.
The Stone Stele stood alone in this dark area, surrounded by a lonely and desolate atmosphere.
It's hard to imagine that someone could endure endless loneliness and desolation in this timeless Void Space, guarding the last vestige of the Xiao Clan's heritage, just to await the arrival of their Descendant of the Xiao Clan...
Thinking of this, even the usually cheerful Xiao Yan fell silent.
At the same time, he felt a deep respect for his ancestor.
The two followed Xiao Xuan and entered the Stone Stele together.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er felt a blur before their eyes, and when they opened them again, the environment in front of them had changed dramatically.
They were now inside an ancient palace.
Looking ahead, in the center of the hall, a figure stood with his hands behind his back.
It was Xiao Xuan.
In front of it, there was a pool of crystal-clear water, with lotus blossoms floating on it, and a faint fragrance permeating the air.
"Hehe, can you tell me about the current situation of the Xiao Clan?" Hearing footsteps, Xiao Xuan turned around and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile on his face. Clearly, he was in a very good mood after seeing Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan reached the Eight-Star Dou Sheng at such a young age; even if the other clansmen are not as good as Xiao Yan, they shouldn't be too far behind.
He was eager to see what the Xiao Clan was like now.
Upon hearing this, Xun'er, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed.
The decline of the Xiao Clan to this day is largely due to the Gu Clans. She was afraid that after Senior Xiao Xuan learned the truth, he would go after his father and fight to the death.
At the same time, she was also worried that this would affect Senior Xiao Xuan's impression of her.
What if Senior Xiao Xuan finds out the truth and won't let me be with Brother Xiao Yan?
For a moment, the little girl's mind began to wander.
Xiao Yan keenly noticed the little girl's emotional change.
He first squeezed Xun'er's small hand to soothe the little girl's chaotic emotions before looking at Xiao Xuan and slowly recounting everything. "The Xiao Clan is gone..."
As Xiao Yan recounted his story, the smile on Xiao Xuan's face gradually froze.
