The Invigorated Xiao Clan

The commotion caused by Xiao Xuan's obliteration of the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family shook the entire Wutan City.

Within Wutan City, two great families were wiped out by a single Dou Technique. This news reached the Mittel Auction House in the very first moment.

Ya Fei and Gu Ni were holding a meeting at that moment when they suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura descend upon Wutan City. Ya Fei was so startled that her lovely face lost all color, and Gu Ni's expression also changed drastically.

The two of them went outside to inspect, and then they personally witnessed the terrifying scene of Wutan City's two great families being crushed into pieces by someone.

The Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family were turned into flying ash in an instant. The shock factor of this sight was enough to make one unforgettable for a lifetime.

Ya Fei's face turned white with fright on the spot.

"Th-this, exactly what kind of person did they offend? What bigwig descended upon Wutan City to be able to pull off such a feat? Could it be a Dou Huang?"

Gu Ni, standing at the side with hollow eyes, shook his head and said, "A Dou Huang wouldn't be able to do this either."

Gu Ni was the appraisal master and a second-rank alchemist of the Wutan Branch. Although he was Ya Fei's subordinate, he was also her elder, and Ya Fei respectfully addressed Gu Ni as uncle.

Gu Ni had traveled far and wide in his earlier years, and he had seen quite a few Dou Huangs.

He had witnessed Dou Huang experts make a move, so naturally he knew that a Dou Huang's strength was not yet this powerful.

Although a Dou Huang was terrifying, it was practically impossible for them to remain unseen and still so effortlessly wipe out two great families simultaneously.

The strength of this person who made a move was likely still above that of a Dou Huang.

Furthermore, Ya Fei and Gu Ni quickly received news sent by their subordinates. Someone had seen that before the destruction of the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family, a Dou Wang expert had descended upon the Dou Qi Square of the Xiao Clan, and was then crushed to death with a single finger by some expert within the Xiao Clan.

The finger-technique Dou Technique that crushed the Dou Wang and the finger-technique Dou Technique that crushed the Ao Ba Family and the Jia Lie Family were cut from the exact same cloth.

Ya Fei lightly covered her red lips and said, "The Xiao Clan? Since when did the Xiao Clan have such an extra expert among them? The sky in this Jia Ma Empire is about to change."

"Quickly notify the headquarters. It seems we must make contact with the Xiao Clan."

Even though the Mittel Auction House did not know when such a terrifying expert had emerged within the Xiao Clan, such a huge commotion definitely had to be reported to the headquarters. This matter might just affect the entire Jia Ma Empire.

At that moment, within the Xiao Clan, they were also plunged into a huge shock.

The younger generation within the Xiao Clan had all personally witnessed the arrival of the Dou Wang. It was just that the previous second they were still plunged into panic, and the next second that Dou Wang was crushed to death.

These juniors of the Xiao Clan were dumbfounded.

Only because they themselves had no idea when their own Xiao Clan had possessed such an expert capable of instantly killing a Dou Wang.

For a time, everyone's gazes converged upon Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning both looked at Xiao Xuan with fanatical gazes, as if wanting to know who this expert was.

Xiao Zhan said, "Ancestor, this news of your return-aside from us few elders of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan, and Xun'er, these juniors of the Xiao Clan do not know yet. Should we take this opportunity to tell them?"

Xiao Xuan said, "They will know sooner or later, and there is no need to conceal it either. Pass down the order, and inform them of the history and former glory of my Xiao Clan together."

"Tell them that every single one of them is a descendant of my Ancient Xiao Clan. Starting from today, everyone must cultivate diligently and revitalize the Xiao Clan."

Xiao Xuan had not thought of concealing anything.

He himself intended to revitalize the Xiao Clan; what good would hiding things do for the Xiao Clan?

It was better to let these juniors know of the Xiao Clan's former glory, which could also stir up their fighting spirit and drive them to cultivate with increasing vigor.

Since Xiao Xuan had put it that way, what more could Xiao Zhan say?

The ancestor did not even intend to hide it, so he truthfully informed all clansmen of the Xiao Clan about the news of the ancestor's return and the former glory of the Xiao Clan.

When Xiao Mei, Xiao Ning, and the others learned that their Xiao Clan actually had such an ancestor return, as well as the glorious family history of the Xiao Clan from a millennium ago, these juniors of the Xiao Clan were also dumbfounded.

Xiao Mei said, "My Xiao Clan actually has a period of history like this. It's unimaginable."

Xiao Ning said, "A Dou Di clan! Our Xiao Clan was actually a Dou God Clan a thousand years ago!"

"Long live Ancestor Xiao Xuan! From now on, we will definitely cultivate even more diligently and revitalize the Xiao Clan!"

These juniors of the Xiao Clan were also thoroughly invigorated by this sudden piece of news.

At this moment, they accepted that part of the Xiao Clan's history from the very marrow of their bones. Their bloodline pride was reactivated, and naturally they possessed an even greater fighting spirit.

Since they knew that the past Xiao Clan was once glorious, what this generation of theirs had to do was naturally to recreate that glory.

Although they were still very weak right now, as long as they united there was nothing they could not accomplish-not to mention there was still the leadership of Ancestor Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning could also roughly guess at this moment why Xiao Yan's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and why his breakthrough speed was so terrifying.

Presumably prior to this, Xiao Yan had already made contact with this Ancestor Xiao Xuan.

Yet there was not a shred of jealousy in their hearts at this moment.

If it were before, they might still have felt jealous, feeling that Xiao Yan might have obtained benefits from the ancestor before them.

But now, the revitalization of the Xiao Clan was placed far ahead of personal grievances. Compared to recreating the glory of the Ancient Xiao Clan, what did these little personal grievances amount to?

Xiao Mei took the initiative to step forward and said to Xiao Yan, "Big Brother Xiao Yan, what happened in the past was my fault. I placed too much importance on the strength of one's might. I apologize to you."

"We are all members of the Xiao Clan. In the future, I hope to progress together with you to revitalize the Xiao Clan. Can you forgive me?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Mei who had come to apologize sincerely, and he also understood her intent.

Xiao Yan said, "As fellow members of the Xiao Clan, what talk is there of apologizing or not? Let's treat the past as if it never happened, and revitalize the Xiao Clan together from now on."

Xiao Yan had long since stopped taking Xiao Mei's past attitude to heart. He had already witnessed the fickleness of human relationships; the only thing important to him now was Xun'er.

Since Xiao Mei was willing to apologize to him, Xiao Yan would simply accept it. This apology was better than none at all, and besides, everyone now shared the same thought: to revitalize the Xiao Clan. Of course Xiao Yan could not refuse this apology that was three years late.

Xiao Mei nodded, naturally knowing that this rift could not be repaired. She had simply followed her heart to apologize to Xiao Yan, and seeing that Xiao Yan was willing to accept it, she felt much better inside.

Following the spread of the news of Ancestor Xiao Xuan's return throughout the entire Xiao Clan, the atmosphere of clan revitalization within the entire Xiao Clan was likewise pushed to its peak.

Xiao Xuan directly passed down the Xiao Clan Inherited Technique. Nowadays there were not many people in the Xiao Clan, so whether they belonged to the main branch or collateral branches, everyone was treated equally. As long as they possessed the Dou Di Bloodline of the Xiao Clan within their bodies, they could all cultivate the Xiao Clan Inherited Technique.

For a time, the disciples of the entire Xiao Clan all activated their Dou Di Bloodlines and switched their cultivation methods.

Overnight, countless Xiao Clan disciples broke through their realms one after another, enhancing their cultivation.

The overall strength of the Xiao Clan was in the midst of rapid growth.

Two days later, an ordinary morning.

As the sun broke through the dawn, several unfamiliar figures came from outside Wutan City and entered Wutan City.

These few figures all wore moon-white robes, with cloud-like patterns printed upon their chests, seeming to possess exceptionally noble identities.

As soon as they entered Wutan City, the few of them walked straight toward the direction where the Xiao Clan was located.

Along the way, some people saw them, and some recognized the clothes they wore, unable to stop themselves from whispering.

"The Misty Cloud Sect?"

"People from the Misty Cloud Sect, why have they come to our Wutan City?"
