Xiao Tian was very troubled. He remembered that in the original story, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran left Misty Cloud Sect and arrived at the Flower Sect. After seeing this, he wanted to go to the Flower Sect to take a look.
After leaving Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Tian rushed to Wutan City.
Although Wutan City's geographical location isn't ideal—it's not backed by the Magical Beast Forest and is near the sea— Xiao Clan Xiao Clan is currently at its zenith. With the help of the Misty Cloud Sect, the policy support of the Jia Ma Empire, and the addition of two Dou Ling within the Xiao Clan, plus rumors of a young Dou Wang training outside, no family in the Jia Ma Empire dares to underestimate them.
Xiao Tian secretly returned to the Xiao Clan, bringing some personal gifts for Xiao Zhan and his wife. He also explained that Xiao Yan's condition was improving rapidly and shared some of his own affairs. He stayed at the Xiao Clan for a day, leaving behind some new Dou Technique and cultivation methods. He also opened an escape route to prepare for future troubles and prevent attacks from the Hall of Souls's scoundrels, and stored and froze a lot of food as a refuge.
The next morning, Xiao Tian decided to leave, but just as he was about to depart, he sensed that a great figure had arrived in Wutan City.
As he unleashed his Kamui, Xiao Tian entered the Kamui Dimension, using it as a springboard to appear on the other side of Wutan City.
An elderly man in a gray robe walked down the street, his eyes radiating a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.
Xiao Tian blocked the old man's path and chuckled, "Grandpa, where are you from and where are you going?"
Xiao Tian sensed a similar unpleasant aura emanating from the old man, one that was also present in the Hall of Souls.
"Little fellow, you're quite strong." The old man smiled sinisterly, then turned into a streak of black light and vanished.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but curl his lips and quickly gave chase. He really couldn't leave the Xiao Clan with peace of mind until he got to the bottom of this mysterious guy who had suddenly appeared in Wutan City.
He couldn't fathom the old man's cultivation level; perhaps he was carrying some special artifact. However, when Xiao Tian wielded the Adamantine Staff and unleashed a divine skill, striking Staff Strike to the Head directly on the head, the old man turned into a ball of black blood and died instantly.
Xiao Tian was a little confused. Was this good-for-nothing really that weak?
"100,000 system points! Wow!"
"Huh." Xiao Tian noticed that the special patterns on the Adamantine Staff in his hand were slowly emitting golden light, as if it were unsealing something.
Meanwhile, in Wutan City, inside the Xiao Clan home, Xiao Zhan's wife, Lady Xiao, was fiddling with beauty and skincare products when she suddenly turned her head and saw an old man in a gray robe appear in the room for some unknown reason.
"Who are you?"
With a wave of his hand, the gray-robed elder created a spatial wall and smiled, "Miss, the clan leader sent me to inquire whether the Tuoshe Ancient Jade has been found."
Suddenly, Lady Xiao felt a splitting headache. The next second, her expression turned indifferent, her black hair had grown much longer, and her originally light black eyes became incredibly pure, as black as deep stars.
"No, but the Xiao Clan's imperial bloodline seems to have reappeared."
The gray-robed old man frowned and asked, "Miss, are you referring to your two sons?"
"Good."
"In that case, Miss, please continue your investigation. I will take one of your sons into the Soul Clan to investigate the secrets of the Xiao Clan from back then."
Lady Xiao said coldly, "You can be taken away, but if you are harmed, you will die!"
"You can rest assured, Miss."
After the gray-robed old man left, Lady Xiao's eyes returned to their pale black color. She scratched her head and muttered, "It's the problem with staying up late lately. I need to go to bed early tonight."
Xiao Tian returned to the Xiao Clan mansion in Wutan City and found nothing amiss, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Tian left the Earth War Dragon Beast to guard the Xiao Clan, since he could teleport back immediately if anything happened.
Thus, the Xiao Clan gained a majestic stone statue guarding their gate!
