When Ji Tianxing entered Wuyue City, Xiao Han was already waiting for him in the City Lord's Mansion.
After the two met in the City Lord's Mansion's Guest Hall, they exchanged some pleasantries before sitting down to chat.
Ten days ago, Xiao Han received a reply from the Xiao Clan and sent a secret letter to Ji Tianxing.
After settling the military affairs in the Eastern Sea, he rushed back to Wuyue City to wait for Ji Tianxing's arrival.
The two agreed on the date and decided to depart for the Xiao Clan early in the morning.
Ji Tianxing was puzzled and asked Xiao Han, "Sir Divine General, we will be heading to the Xiao Clan tomorrow.
Can Sir Divine General please tell me where the Xiao Clan is? "
Xiao Han revealed a meaningful smile and transmitted his voice, "You will know tomorrow anyway, so there's no harm in telling you.
The Xiao Clan is actually hidden in the most dangerous forbidden area on the continent, in the depths of the Southern Desolation Swamp.
Very few people dare to enter the Southern Desolation Swamp as it is too dangerous. Those who enter rashly will most likely lose their lives.
Moreover, the Xiao Clan is in a grotto-heaven and the entrance is very well hidden.
Even if ordinary people know where the Xiao Clan is, they won't be able to find the entrance, let alone enter. "
Ji Tianxing finally understood and nodded. "Everyone thinks that the Southern Desolation Swamp is a Land of God's Punishment with endless dangers hidden in it. No one lives there.
No one expected the Xiao Clan to live in seclusion in the Southern Desolation Swamp. No wonder they can live in seclusion for thousands of years!
The Xiao Clan dares to live in seclusion in the Southern Desolation Swamp. This shows the courage, determination, and means of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch. They are all extraordinary! "
"Young Master Ji, you flatter me." Xiao Han said modestly. "There are still twenty days before the Holy Fire Festival. With our speed, we will be just in time to return to the Xiao Clan."
Ji Tianxing quickly asked, "Sir Divine General, can you explain what the Holy Fire Festival is? I would like to know more about this festival so that there won't be any misunderstandings. "
"Well, that's good too." Xiao Han thought for a while and explained, "The Holy Fire Festival is a grand celebration held once every twenty years in the Xiao Clan.
This festival would last for three days. Sacred flames would be lit all over the clan, and they would not be extinguished for three days and three nights.
During the Holy Fire Festival, the new generation of Xiao Clan's disciples would be tested and tested by the clan.
Only the top two that passed the test were qualified to leave the Xiao Clan and venture into the Tian Xuan Land.
The disciples of the Xiao Clan who failed to obtain the top two positions could only wait for the next Holy Fire Festival twenty years later.
If the disciples of the Xiao Clan were still unable to obtain the top two positions in the second Holy Fire Festival, they would have to stay in the Xiao Clan forever and reproduce until they died of old age.
Every disciple of the Xiao Clan had two chances to leave, but only the most outstanding disciples could head to the outside world.
At the same time, the Holy Fire Festival was also a celebration for young men and women to court each other.
Boys and girls who express their love in public during the Holy Fire Festival and receive a response will receive the blessings of the entire clan … "
After listening to Xiao Han's explanation, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but reveal a smile. "It sounds rather interesting. Not only can it allow the Xiao Clan to maintain peace and friendship, it can also motivate the younger generation.
It seems like this Holy Fire Festival is of great significance to the Xiao Clan. "
"Of course." Xiao Han nodded and said, "Other than the Xiao Clan's Patriarch's birthday every 100 years, the Holy Fire Festival is the grandest festival.
This time, I used the Holy Fire Festival as an opportunity to find an excuse that the elders couldn't reject.
I want to witness the test process with my own eyes and bring out the two most outstanding disciples of the Xiao Clan to train under me. "
Ji Tianxing's eyes couldn't help but light up. He smiled and said, "This excuse is indeed hard for the Xiao Clan to reject. After all, you are the Donglin Divine General, one of the most respected figures in the continent.
If the two inexperienced disciples of the Xiao Clan could receive your guidance and nurture, it would be a great blessing and opportunity. I'm afraid all the young disciples would dream of it. "
Xiao Han smiled and nodded. "That's right. I used this excuse to get the elders to agree to let me bring you into the Xiao Clan.
However, the Xiao Clan's rules are there, and the elders can't openly violate them.
I can bring you into the Xiao Clan, but you have to suffer some grievances to cover up this matter. "
Ji Tianxing was already mentally prepared. He asked, "Sir Divine General, may I ask what I need to do?"
Xiao Han looked at him deeply and asked tentatively, "You have to pretend to be a disciple of the Xiao Clan and use the identity of my nephew to follow me into the Xiao Clan.
Of course, I don't mean to take advantage of you. This is just an expedient measure. Everyone knows about it. "
Ji Tianxing thought for a while and agreed readily. "Sir Divine General, you are too polite. You are a senior who has lived for more than 100 years and is also the Divine General who guards the Eastern Sea.
I am your junior, and it is reasonable for me to call you uncle. There is no grievance. "
Seeing him agree so readily, the last trace of worry in Xiao Han's heart disappeared. He quickly smiled and nodded. "Since Young Master Ji is so righteous, then I am relieved.
You can rest in the City Lord's Mansion today.
Tomorrow morning, we will leave for the Southern Wasteland Swamp. "
"Okay." Ji Tianxing nodded and went to rest under the guidance of the housekeeper.
A day passed by quickly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Tianxing left the City Lord's Mansion with Xiao Han.
The two of them flew up to the sky and rushed to the south as fast as lightning.
…
The distance from the Central Continent to the Southern Wasteland Swamp was too far.
A year ago, Ji Tianxing was only at the eighth level of the Sky Origin Stage. It took him three months to reach the Southern Wasteland City from the Central Continent.
But it was different now. He and Xiao Han were both powerhouses of the Soul Refining Stage. Their speed was several times faster than before.
Xiao Han was driving a flying magic weapon. It was a black flying boat of the Soul Level. It was like a stream of light cutting through the sky, as fast as lightning.
Ji Tianxing was standing on a blazing white Soul Magic Sword. He was like a white light, flying side by side with Xiao Han.
In fact, he was as fast as Xiao Han with only 50% of his strength.
If he drove the Soul Magic Sword with all his strength, he would be twice as fast as Xiao Han.
The two of them flew all the way and didn't encounter any danger or trouble.
About fourteen days later, the two of them had crossed more than half of the Southern Continent and arrived at the Southern Wasteland City.
The long journey and flying had consumed a lot of their magic power. Both of them looked travel-worn and fatigued.
The two of them prepared to enter the Southern Wasteland City and rest for the night. They would continue their journey tomorrow morning.
It was evening, and the sun hadn't completely set yet.
However, when the two of them were a hundred miles away from the Southern Wasteland City, they saw that the sky was dark.
On the vast grassland outside the Southern Wasteland City, there were countless huge figures, flying as fast as the wind, attacking the Southern Wasteland City.
Even in the sky around the Southern Wasteland City, there were tens of thousands of birds and black figures, covering the sky and covering the sun.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
