In front of the main palace, Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xiao Xuan. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Tsk tsk tsk … borrowing the might of the Wind God's Fury to display the Great Way of the Sword. The power of this sword is something that few below the Origin Venerate can match. I wonder what kind of scene it would be if he used his full strength."
Xiao Yuheng stared intently at Xiao Xuan as light flickered in the depths of his eyes. He muttered to himself for a while before turning his gaze to the elders of the Xiao clan and sternly saying, "Pass on my orders.
From now on, Xiao Xuan will be promoted to an inner sect elder. Xiao Yan will be a direct descendant of our clan and receive the same treatment as the Crown Prince. "
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the elders in front of him changed in an instant. Shocked gazes immediately gathered on Xiao Yuheng's body. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.
"Clan leader, even if Xiao Xuan defeated the Crown Prince today, he is still an outsider with such a cultivation. How can he bear the position of an inner sect elder?"
"Although Xiao Xuan possesses the power of two Great Ways, how could he have defeated Xiao Feng if he hadn't used a surprise attack? Moreover, Xiao Yan's attitude was rather naughty. Since he isn't willing to join our clan, how can he be qualified to be a direct descendant of our clan?"
Cold and indifferent words rose and fell one after another. Although they had seen the fight earlier, it was clear that they were unwilling to accept everything that had happened in front of them. Their words had greatly belittled Xiao Yan and his granddaughter.
"Qualified? Xiao Xuan possesses the power of two Great Ways. Isn't that qualified? With the cultivation of an Origin Venerate, he was able to defeat Xiao Feng, who is a four-star Origin Venerate. No matter what method he used, his victory is the result. As for Xiao Yan, who in the current continent can subdue a Heavenly Flame? "
Xiao Yuheng's extremely dignified gaze slowly swept across the group of elders in front of him as he spoke in a slightly heavy tone.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing for clansmen to reject each other. However, if you stand on the wrong side, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Everyone here is an elder of the clan, so I won't say too much to embarrass you. However, I hope that you all understand that what I said earlier was to inform you, and not to ask for your opinion."
After saying those words, Xiao Yuheng turned around and walked into the hall. Behind him, the group of elders looked at each other and were speechless. After a long while, they sighed deeply and left.
On the other side, Xiao Yan and his grandson spoke a few more words with Xiao Mingyuan. After bringing the latter away, they prepared to leave as well. But right at this moment, Xiao Feng, who stood up with the help of the two guards, suddenly spoke.
"Wait …"
Xiao Yan's footsteps paused as he turned to look at Xiao Feng with an unfriendly expression.
"Is there anything else?"
Beside him, Xiao Xuan also slowly turned around and calmly looked at the latter.
Xiao Feng ignored Xiao Yan's cold eyes. He looked at Xiao Xuan by the side and hesitated for a moment before speaking in a serious voice.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Your cultivation can't be stagnant at the Origin Emperor, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He was a little surprised in his heart. Even the First Elder of the Xiao clan could not do anything about Xiao Xuan's cultivation. Unexpectedly, this fellow still had doubts.
Xiao Xuan still appeared calm in this regard, but he did not answer Xiao Feng's question. However, when he turned around, the latter vaguely saw that Xiao Xuan seemed to have nodded his head slightly. This also confirmed the guess in Xiao Feng's heart.
Only after a long while did Xiao Feng let out a disappointed smile. He calmed himself down and moved away from the two guards who were supporting him. Looking at the two figures that had disappeared into the distance, he let out a long sigh and said leisurely,
"Looks like I didn't lose this battle unjustly …"
As he sighed softly, his body shook slightly. He forcefully endured the waves of weakness that came from his body and forcefully relied on his willpower to slowly walk in the direction that he had come from.
On the field, the group of Xiao clan guards could not help but feel surprised when they saw this scene. At the same time, a sense of admiration rose in their hearts.
After all, Xiao Feng was the heir of the Xiao clan. Even though he had lost miserably in the battle with Xiao Xuan, he was still able to rely on his own strength to forcefully drag his severely injured body to walk. This was not something that an ordinary person could do!
.....
"Creak."
A wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a ray of hazy sunlight spread through the gap in the door. Finally, it formed a thin ray of light on the ground.
As the wooden door was completely pushed open, the ray of light rapidly expanded. Soon after, two figures that were stretched to different lengths by the sunlight walked in. They were Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yan, the grandfather and grandson pair.
After an entire day of trifling matters, the sky had already darkened. It was only then that Xiao Yan was able to heave a sigh of relief. Even though the process was a little complicated, he had finally arrived at the Xiao clan. Seeing that Xiao Xuan was fine, the greatest worry in his heart had been relieved.
Although the worry at the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart had already been resolved, another serious problem still lingered in his heart at this moment.
"You can stay here for this period of time. I believe that there will be news from the clan leader very soon."
Xiao Xuan leaned lazily on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief with a slightly tired face. He smiled at Xiao Yan.
"News?"
Xiao Yan was just about to nod when he frowned. His face was filled with suspicion. Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Everything that happened today was witnessed by the clan leader.
"The Clan Leader has seen everything that happened today. Even if it wasn't for me, he would have done something to make you join the Xiao Clan."
The expression on Xiao Yan's face was involuntarily startled when he heard this. His eyes were a little erratic as they landed on Xiao Xuan. He paused for a moment before suddenly speaking.
He paused for a moment and said, "Ancestor, do you really plan to stay here?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan did not have even the slightest good impression of this so-called clan. If it was not on account of Xiao Xuan, he would have long since left. However, after the matter with Xiao Feng, Xiao Yan could tell that Xiao Xuan seemed to have already adopted an attitude of acknowledging the current Xiao clan. Just this point alone caused Xiao Yan to have no choice but to change the way he looked at the Xiao clan.
In response, Xiao Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry.
"You are saying this because of what happened during the day, right?"
Xiao Yan did not comment. However, Xiao Xuan shook his head nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Haha.
"Haha, you little brat. Xiao Clan is one of the three great clans. How could they be as tyrannical as what you saw today? What you saw was merely what others wanted you to see. Moreover …"
Xiao Xuan suddenly paused at the end of his words. He slowly lifted his head and stared at Xiao Yan. His tone was a little deep as he said, "You didn't come here to the Central Region.
"You did not come to the Middle Region just for the Xiao clan and me. I believe that you are already aware of the relationship between the Ghost Temple Gate and the Ghost Temple Gate. If you wish to rescue your wife from their hands, it is impossible for you to do so by yourself. I believe that you know this better than anyone else."
"Xun Er …"
Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled violently at the mention of Xun Er. His expression instantly turned gloomy. A terrifying murderous intent surged in his originally calm heart at this moment. Even the aura in his body uncontrollably surged out.
