An elderly man who looked to be around fifty years old appeared before Xiao Tian. He was like a towering mountain. Although he didn't give Xiao Tian the same feeling as the two elders, he was stronger than Great Elder Su Qian.
"Old man, what's wrong? Aren't you going to escort them? Lest Lingfeng get killed on the way, and my Xun'er be kidnapped."
The old man remained indifferent, coldly scoffing, "Boy, your talent is not bad, but unfortunately, people of my clan cannot marry outside their lineage. No matter how monstrous you are, it's not allowed. Miss Xun'er can only marry a prodigy from our clan in the future, allowing that kind of bloodline to continue, while your bloodline will only pollute it."
"Oh, oh, your bloodline, how noble." Xiao Tian sneered, "Old man, do you believe that in ten years, I'll make sure no one from one of the Ancient Eight Clans Gu Clan to stop me!"
The old man's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Miss Xun'er told you her identity?"
"Hehe." Xiao Tian chuckled, " Of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Gu Clan is indeed very powerful, but my master is no weaker than Gu Yuan."
The old man's eyes narrowed. This kid actually knew the clan leader's name. Could this kid from the small Black-Corner Region have some kind of background?
"I don't know where you found out, but trying to challenge the authority of the Gu Clan in this way is utterly ridiculous."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Young man, your talent is decent. As long as you don't die, with proper cultivation, you might reach the Dou Zun in the future. But I must remind you, the gap between you and Miss Xun'er will only widen in the future."
"Really?" Xiao Tian grinned. "Senior, then I'm really looking forward to seeing how much pain you'll feel in the future."
"Hehehe, arrogance is a good thing for young people. The harsh reality of the future will make you understand this deeply." After saying this, the old man vanished in Body Flicker Technique.
"Hehe." Xiao Tian turned around and examined the Ancient Jade that Xun'er had given him before she left. With his powerful royal-level Soul Power, he sensed it and gained some memories.
"Phew! Xun'er, that girl, tsk tsk, High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, the Emperor Seal Art!"
"I remember what they said in the original timeline: the Emperor Seal Art, when cultivated to its full potential, is comparable to a Heavenly Rank technique; it is a secret technique of the Gu Clan."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but smile; now he had more Dou Technique at his disposal.
"Young man, you have a long road ahead of you. No one can predict the future. Keep up the good work." Great Elder Su Qian appeared.
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Elder, it's not good to peek. Besides, I have to leave Garan Academy."
Su Qian smiled and said, "If I had known this day would come, just remember, Jialan Academy will always be your second home."
Xiao Tian felt a warmth in his heart; this elder really knew how to speak.
"Elder, I won't say goodbye to them. Also, tell Xiao Yan that he is the sect leader of the Xiao Clan. He should visit the Black-Corner Region when he has time. Bye-bye."
As Su Qian watched Xiao Tian leave, his old face was full of smiles. He murmured, "Even the rampaging Fallen Heart Flame couldn't take your life, kid. I look forward to you making a name for yourself on the Dou Qi Continent in the future."
Xiao Tian left the primeval forest and headed to Rakshasa City in the Black-Corner Region Black-Corner Region was rich in resources, and he couldn't give up on it. Su Mei was, after all, a member of his Xiao Clan, and he should offer her some help.
Furthermore, the arrival of the Gu Clan did indeed put some pressure on Xiao Tian. He still needed to marry the beautiful and wealthy woman, otherwise he would lose face as the heir to the Heavenly Dao.
"As long as I live, the Dou Qi Continent will eventually submit to me!"
Xiao Tian's eyes shone even brighter, his gaze unwavering.
