In front of the Ancient City Hall, Xiao Yan was led by Xiao Xuan into the clan. Bai Hua and Lian 'er were stopped by Xiao Li in the Ancient City Hall due to their status. Hence, only Xiao Yan and his granddaughter were left.
Xiao Yan followed behind Xiao Xuan. The rest of the journey was quite smooth. They passed by quite a number of pavilions and met a couple of Elders of the Xiao clan. These Elders were just like Elder Xiao Li from earlier. They did not appear to be surprised by Xiao Yan's arrival. However, their eyes contained some surprise when they looked at him. Xiao Yan was used to this. After welcoming them with a smiling face, he followed Xiao Xuan's lead and hurried deep into the Xiao clan.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, may I know how you have been in the Xiao clan during these few years? From Elder Xiao Li's tone earlier, it seems …"
"Ha ha, Elder Xiao Li has a cold character. Other than the clan head and a few Elders, he is like this to everyone in the clan. Don't take it to heart."
Along the way, Xiao Yan recalled how Xiao Li had mentioned Xiao Xuan when warning him. He hesitated in his heart. However, Xiao Xuan did not seem to mind as he laughed softly. Xiao Yan frowned. The manner in which Xiao Li had looked at Xiao Xuan earlier did not seem to be due to his character. Instead, it gave Xiao Yan a harsh feeling. He was not unfamiliar with that gaze. However, Xiao Xuan was unwilling to mention it at this moment. Hence, he could only drop the subject.
Xiao Yan withdrew his thoughts. His gaze swept over Xiao Xuan's body. Immediately, he rotated his eyebrows and asked.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan's current cultivation has already reached the peak of the Origin Emperor, right?"
"With the enormous resources of the Xiao clan, it would be too embarrassing if I still could not reach the peak of the Origin Emperor. Unfortunately, I lack the latter half of the third scroll of the Origin Skill. It is likely that it will be very difficult for my cultivation to break through. However, since you are already here, this is not important. Ha ha …"
Xiao Xuan smiled in an unconcerned manner when he heard this. His expression was a little disappointed. Without the Guiyuan Skill, it was likely that his cultivation could only be as stagnant as it was back in the Dou Qi continent. If he were to forcefully break through, the result would be … Tian Jue was an example.
As for searching for it, Xiao Xuan could only hope for a fluke. Searching for a fragment of a cultivation technique in the entire continent was like searching for a needle in a haystack. It was obvious how slim the chances were.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan had come to the Xiao Clan. As long as Xiao Yan was fine, he would not be too concerned about his own cultivation. Compared to himself, he was more concerned about Xiao Yan's situation.
However, even if he thought this way, Xiao Yan would not think the same.
"Is that so …"
Xiao Yan curled his mouth and smiled when he heard Xiao Xuan's words. He flipped his hand and a black leather parchment that was half the size of a palm landed in his hand.
At the same time, Xiao Xuan, who was originally flying forward, suddenly paused. The expression on his face changed as he suddenly turned around. His gaze instantly landed on Xiao Yan's hand. His originally calm heart began to ripple at this moment.
"In this way, I believe that there is no need to worry about ancestor's cultivation."
Xiao Yan's eyes flickered as he stared at Xiao Xuan in front of him. Although he had spoken those words in a relaxed manner, Xiao Yan was not some naive and foolish little fellow. At this moment, he had recalled the words that Xiao Li had said earlier. In his heart, he could roughly understand what the so-called 'footsteps' meant. Immediately, a cold and indifferent feeling rose in his heart because of this …
"Huff huff …"
At the same time, an invisible hurricane suddenly gathered around Xiao Xuan's body. Even the area where the two of them were at was stirred up by a storm. In the distant pavilions, some of the Xiao clan's disciples sensed the commotion, and their expressions could not help but change.
Xiao Xuan slowly extended his hand and caught the black fragment that was close to him.
The black leather parchment was light and thin and did not have any temperature. However, when it landed in Xiao Xuan's hand, it caused his face to flush red. The emotions in his heart almost uncontrollably appeared on his face. Although Xiao Yan did not say anything, he knew that Xiao Xuan was unable to hide the agitation in his heart.
The only regret in Xiao Xuan's legendary life was the Returnance Art. At this very moment, the last fragment of the Returnance Art was in his hand. How could he not be excited?
It was a long while later before Xiao Xuan's stiff body gradually relaxed. His breathing was somewhat trembling as he exhaled. Immediately, he put away the black skin paper in his hand. His eyes were somewhat red as he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him. The expression on his face gradually recovered its calmness as he said,
"Let's go and see the clan leader."
The moment he turned around, a sharp aura filled with murderous intent spread out from his body.
Even Xiao Yan behind Xiao Xuan involuntarily cast a sideways glance when he sensed this. This sharp aura was something that he admitted that even he was unable to achieve. At this moment, Xiao Xuan seemed to be different …
After the two of them returned to their previous state, Xiao Yan followed closely behind Xiao Xuan and flew forward. A moment later, the two of them gradually descended and landed in front of a fiery-red hall.
At this moment, there were many disciples of the Xiao clan standing guard outside the fiery-red hall. Their vigilant gazes constantly scanned the surroundings.
"As expected of the Xiao clan. Even the disciples guarding the hall possess such strength. If these people were placed in the southern region, they would be a powerful faction!"
Xiao Yan could not help but exclaim in admiration as his gaze swept across the young people present. These people's cultivation were all above King Yuan and there was no lack of Origin Emperors among them. It was already considered good to possess such strength among the younger generation. The reason why they were here was naturally because they represented the flourishing bloodline of the Xiao clan. From a certain point of view, this was also a display of the great foundation of the Xiao clan to the outside world.
"Haha, this is only what you see. Let's go. Since you are here, I believe the clan leader already knows. Don't let him wait for too long."
Xiao Xuan smiled and said.
Xiao Yan nodded gently. Soon after, the two of them walked into the hall.
At the same time, in another area within the Xiao clan …
Xiao Chuhang, whose complexion had slightly improved, was sleeping on the bed. A young man was seated on a chair beside the bed. Behind him, a middle-aged man was standing respectfully with his head lowered.
"What did you say? Xiao Yan? Is he the foreign clan member that Xiao Mingyuan mentioned? The unknown Xiao Yan who injured Xiao Chuhang? "
In the hall, the young man frowned after hearing the middle-aged man's description. He turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man who was bowing in front of him as he spoke in a deep voice.
"There should be no mistake. When I passed by the Ancient Hall, that brat was chatting with Elder Xiao Li. After which, Xiao Xuan personally went to welcome him. I believe that he is Xiao Yan."
"Bang!"
Just as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the chair under the young man suddenly exploded with a bang. The young man abruptly stood up with a gloomy expression.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan, what a pair of grandfather and grandson. We have yet to settle the old debt from back then, yet you have injured my younger brother. The both of you are really the first within the Xiao clan!"
The young man slowly narrowed his eyes. As a cold glint flickered in his eyes, a surging energy aura involuntarily spread out from his body. A moment later, a sinister voice was faintly spat out.
"Let's go to the main hall. I want to personally meet these two!"
