Xun'er took the initiative to speak, finally giving Xiao Yan a chance to speak as well.
" Xun'er, you..."
Xiao Yan looked at the girl beside him, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Could it be that all their interactions since childhood, and everything they've experienced together, was just an act by the other person?
Xiao Yan had long suspected from his father's and the three elders' attitudes that Xun'er's identity must have some hidden secrets.
However, he couldn't imagine that even Dou Huang expert would treat Xun'er with such courtesy.
" Brother Xiao Yan, there are many things that Xun'er cannot tell you right now."
Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with gentle eyes and slowly said:
"However, Xun'er already knows who kidnapped Uncle Xiao."
Who is it!?
When it came to his father's life or death, Xiao Yan's eyes sharpened as he looked at Xun'er, wanting to know who the culprit was who had caused the Xiao Clan to become like this.
"I'm so sorry, Brother Xiao Yan."
Xun'er reached out and took Xiao Yan's hand, offering him a comforting gesture, and said soothingly:
" Xun'er can't tell you these things right now, but Xun'er can tell you some things..."
Seemingly sensing the urgency on Xiao Yan's face, Xun'er squeezed Xiao Yan's hand and continued:
" Brother Xiao Yan should have already guessed part of it. These people destroyed the Xiao Clan's facade because they were looking for something."
"To put it more simply... the Xiao Clan used to be a very powerful family, but they declined later. However, they still possess things that many people want, so their purpose in kidnapping Uncle Xiao must be this."
Xun'er looked up at Xiao Yan and said:
"Therefore, Brother Xiao Yan, you don't need to worry about Uncle Xiao's safety for the time being. However, as for who the enemy is, please forgive Xun'er for not being able to tell you."
"You'll understand everything once you, Brother Xiao Yan, become stronger..."
Xun'er did not tell Xiao Yan about the existence of ancient races, as it was too distant for Xiao Yan.
She simply gave Xiao Yan an example to illustrate the Xiao Clan's predicament.
That night, Xiao Yan stayed in his room, recalling the ruins of the Xiao Clan he had seen during the day, and an angry expression appeared on his face.
This is the place where he has lived for more than ten years.
He was already familiar with this place and considered himself a member of the Xiao Clan.
And now, it's all destroyed!
The father's disappearance has caused immense losses to the clan!
Even though he knew his father was not in immediate danger, Xiao Yan's anger and hatred did not diminish in the slightest.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the wardrobe beside him, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
In the past, Xiao Yan was confident that with his talent and strength, he could lead the Xiao Clan to glory.
But what about now?
Even the Dou Huang expert was merely Xun'er's bodyguard.
What about beings at an even higher level?
In other words, even Ling Ying, a Dou Emperor level Xiao Clan, couldn't protect the Xiao Clan.
Just how powerful were the people who attacked the Xiao Clan?
Xiao Yan was not discouraged, but rather because the pressure from his enemies was too great, to the point that even Dou Emperor could not control the situation in this turn of events.
When I grow up...
Can my father be saved?
This is why Xun'er didn't tell Xiao Yan everything.
A certain amount of pressure can foster the growth of a genius, but too much pressure can also break that genius.
Xiao Yan's gaze involuntarily drifted to that ring!
That bizarre ring that devoured his own Dou Qi Vortex!
Xun'er could casually produce even a rare Earth Tier Cultivation Method, which made Xiao Yan realize that the enemy behind the Xiao Clan was probably...
"The only way to save my father is to take an unconventional approach..."
Xiao Yan lowered his head, his eyes filled with suppressed anger. He wanted revenge and to rebuild the Xiao Clan, but ordinary methods of increasing strength were no longer suitable.
If he cultivates step by step, how many years would it take him to reach the Dou Emperor?
As for higher levels...
"Click..."
Xiao Yan opened the long-sealed box and looked at the ancient black ring wrapped inside. It was like Pandora's box, constantly drawing Xiao Yan in.
"With Senior Ling Ying still here, if something truly goes wrong, there's still a chance to change things with his help."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, took out the ancient ring, and put it back on his finger.
"I'd like to see how much you can inhale! This time, I'll let you inhale to your heart's content!"
A ruthless glint flashed across Xiao Yan's youthful face.
Then the image of himself in the Douluo World flashed through his mind.
For the first time, he began to call out to the other person in his mind.
Inside the eerie space.
Douluo Xiao Yan looked at Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan in front of him, processing the fragments that the other had just passed on to him.
He hadn't expected that the Battle Through the Heavens World would undergo such a huge change.
The Xiao Clan was destroyed, the Third Elder was crippled, and Xiao Zhan disappeared.
Moreover, it also implicated the enemies behind the Xiao Clan!
Even the Dou Huang expert was powerless to change the course of the battle.
"I've made up my mind. I want to see what's so strange about this ring. Maybe it holds the legacy of a super big shot?"
Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan smiled, feigning ease.
He had no choice.
This strange ring was the only way he could think of, or rather, it was a desperate measure.
After all, he didn't understand the overall structure of the Battle Through the Heavens Continent, nor did he understand the relationship between the Xiao Clan and the ancient races.
All he knew was that his father had been arrested and his fate was unknown, the Xiao Clan had been destroyed, and all of this fell on his shoulders.
"Alright." Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan shook his head, looked at Xiao Yan from the Douluo World, and said:
The reason I called you this time is because I don't know what changes will occur, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until our next meeting.
"The reason I'm telling you all this... is in case I fail..."
A hint of madness flashed in Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan," a look that seemed to be both crying and laughing, as he looked at Douluo Xiao Yan Continent" and said:
"If you ever have the chance to come here in the future, please help me out and wipe them all out!"
Battle Through the Heavens Xiao Yan exhaled, then turned around, his back to Douluo Xiao Yan, and waved his hand:
"Alright, see you next time... if there's another chance..."
"Don't worry! As transmigrators, we can't just wrap things up so quickly, can we?" Douluo Xiao Yan spoke slowly, watching the figure gradually disappear, and said:
"I still need you to teach me Black Tier Dou Technique, Earth Tier Dou Technique, and Heaven Tier Dou Technique!"
As his thoughts returned to his body, Douluo Xiao Yan opened his eyes and found himself back in his familiar Shrek Academy dormitory.
"If that day ever comes... I'll slaughter them all one by one..."
It seemed like a promise, yet it also seemed like just an insignificant joke.
The changes in the Battle Through the Heavens World weighed heavily on Xiao Yan's mind.
The joy of just acquiring his Third Soul Ring had faded considerably.
