Due to the instantaneous increase in strength and the qualitative change in talent, a small portion of the Xiao Clan had a change in mentality. Previously, the entire Xiao Clan had to rely on Xiao Chen, but now, with the overall strength of the Xiao Clan, even without Xiao Chen, it was enough to dominate Lingfeng Country.
Moreover, after this heaven-sent opportunity, the Xiao Clan would only become stronger and stronger. Because of this, some people began to feel that Xiao Chen was no longer that important. In addition to this heaven-sent opportunity, the cultivation of almost everyone in the Xiao Clan had increased by leaps and bounds, except for Xiao Chen. Some people with ulterior motives also began to spread rumors, saying that the ancestors did not like Xiao Chen, so they did not give Xiao Chen any opportunities.
Hearing the words of these Xiao Clan disciples, Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, not bothering about it. Perhaps some people already thought that he was no longer that important to the Xiao Clan. Little did they know, compared to before, Xiao Chen's control over the Xiao Clan had increased tremendously. With the bloodline suppression, he could decide the life and death of anyone in the Xiao Clan with just a thought. No matter how high the cultivation was, as long as Xiao Chen wanted, he would definitely die.
Not bothering about these Xiao Clan disciples, Xiao Chen walked away.
The changes in the ancestral land allowed the Xiao Clan to completely taste the sweetness. At this moment, the ancestral land of the Xiao Clan had become the most heavily guarded place in the Xiao Clan. It was personally guarded by the Five Great Elders, and anyone who needed to enter or leave the ancestral land had to obtain the approval of the Five Great Elders.
Xiao Chen did not have any special purpose on his way to the ancestral land. He just wanted to take another look at the purple light door, and see if there were any new discoveries.
Just as Xiao Chen arrived at the entrance of the ancestral land, there were many Xiao Clan members gathered outside the ancestral land. Although these people had already entered the Underground Tomb, this did not stop them from longing for the ancestral land. Therefore, many Xiao Clan members would gather outside the ancestral land as long as they had nothing to do, chatting and thanking the ancestors for their gifts.
Xiao Chen strolled over. Seeing this, the expressions of these Xiao clansmen changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal. They also greeted Xiao Chen, but from their expressions and words, Xiao Chen could clearly feel the change.
Compared to before, they were clearly not as respectful. Perhaps in their opinion, the current Xiao Clan no longer needed to completely rely on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not mind. He directly strode towards the ancestral grounds, but at this moment, a middle-aged woman stopped him. "Xiao Chen, the five elders have ordered that anyone who wishes to enter the ancestral grounds must first report to them. They can only enter after obtaining permission."
Did he have to report his entry into the Ancestral Land? Hearing this person's words, Xiao Chen turned his head and swept his gaze across the crowd. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, no one avoided it. Instead, they calmly looked back at Xiao Chen.
Their attitude had indeed changed a lot. Regarding this, Xiao Chen was a little displeased. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"With the appearance of the Underground Tomb, all of you have obtained great benefits from it. Only I seem to have obtained nothing. So, do you think that the ancestors do not like me and did not give me any opportunities?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, no one made a sound. It was not difficult to tell from their expressions that they indeed thought so.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, then directly activated the bloodline power in his body. In an instant, the Xiao clansmen in front of Xiao Chen could not help but kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Chen.
It was a completely uncontrollable kowtow. Not only that, everyone only felt a chill emerge from the depths of their hearts and shroud them. It was as if a sharp sword was hanging on their necks. With just a thought from Xiao Chen, all of their heads would fall to the ground in an instant.
They wanted to resist, but they could not muster the slightest will to resist. They knelt on the ground and raised their heads to look at Xiao Chen, who had a calm expression on his face. At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to be countless times taller in their eyes. He held the power to kill all of them in his hands.
"How … How is this possible … Why?" An old man of the Xiao Clan, who was at the Celestial Realm, said in disbelief. Xiao Chen was only at the Earth Realm. No matter how powerful his combat prowess was, it was impossible for him to suppress so many of them without doing anything.
They were extremely shocked. Seeing this, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Some things are meaningless if I say it out loud. The ancestors' gift you obtained in the Underground Tomb was to increase your cultivation and talent, while I obtained absolute control of the Xiao Clan. Anyone with the Xiao Clan's bloodline only needs a thought. Even if they are thousands of miles away, I can easily kill them. So, put away those little thoughts in your hearts."
Xiao Chen was not in the mood to bicker with these people. In his opinion, they were just arrogant because of a temporary increase in their strength. So, it was enough to give them a warning. Moreover, after knowing that he had the ability to easily kill them, he believed that there would not be any more ignorant people in the Xiao Clan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen turned around and walked into the ancestral land, leaving the group of Xiao Clan members in a mess.
This … How is this possible? How can Xiao Chen possess such power? What exactly is that suppression from the depths of his bloodline? Does Xiao Chen really control the life and death of all the Xiao Clan members? If that was the case, then wouldn't Xiao Chen's control over the Xiao Clan be even stronger than before?
This matter was completely out of everyone's expectations, and it quickly spread throughout the Xiao Clan. Some of the Xiao Clan members who once had some thoughts were terrified. As the first person to enter the underground tomb, Xiao Chen did not gain nothing. Instead, he gained the power to control the life and death of the entire Xiao Clan.
Everyone knew that from now on, no one in the entire Xiao Clan would dare to rebel. If it was said that the Xiao Clan could not do without Xiao Chen in the past, then it was even more so now. This was because as long as Xiao Chen wanted to, everyone in the Xiao Clan could be wiped out in an instant. Moreover, the suppression from the depths of their bloodline made everyone in the Xiao Clan unconsciously recognize Xiao Chen as their master. They could not disobey Xiao Chen's orders.
In just one day, the Xiao Clan members' attitude towards Xiao Chen had once again become extremely respectful. It was even more respectful than before. This was a respect that came from the depths of their hearts. In this respect, there was even a trace of fear. This was because before Xiao Chen, cultivation was useless. No matter what cultivation one had, Xiao Chen could mercilessly suppress them with just a thought.
Xiao Chen did not care about the changes in the Xiao Clan members. After going to the ancestral land again yesterday, Xiao Chen still did not discover anything new. Helpless, he went to the residence of the Pill Cloud Sovereign. Now that everything was basically settled, Xiao Chen also planned to discuss with Dao Master Pill Cloud about bringing the Xiao Clan members back to Nine Firmaments Palace.
