"Brat, my Xiao clan will not allow you to act so presumptuously."
After Xiao Tian's retreating figure was stopped, a faint elderly voice was unhurriedly transmitted from behind him. When Xiao Yan focused his gaze, he saw that an old man in a brocade robe had unknowingly appeared behind Xiao Tian. At this moment, a pair of turbid old eyes were staring at Xiao Tian from afar. His eyes were sharp.
An invisible strength swept out in a vast and mighty manner the instant the old man's voice sounded. It was like a wave that instantly struck Xiao Yan's golden body. In merely an instant, it caused the Giant Elephant Skill to collapse. Xiao Yan, who was under it, was also exposed.
This scene naturally caused some shock to surge into Xiao Yan's heart. The strength of this old man in front of him was indeed frightening. With just a single sentence, he had broken Xiao Yan's golden body. Moreover, from the sound of his words, it seemed that he was also one of their opponents.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Tian, who had been stabilized by the old man, regained his senses. The instant he turned his head, he saw the old man behind him. Joy swiftly surged onto his face.
"Grandfather, you are here!"
"Yes …"
The old man smiled at Xiao Tian before slowly saying, "You must be careful in the future.
Although your Great Dao Power is extremely powerful and you do not need to fear an ordinary Origin Zong, he is an exception since both of you are of the fire attribute. "
Xiao Tian's face was solemn as he nodded when he heard this. After the exchange earlier, he had also come to understand just how frightening a Heavenly Flame was. Within the entire clan, there was hardly anyone from the same generation who could receive the attack he had just unleashed, even if they were experts from the Source Zong. Moreover, Xiao Yan had done it with such ease. From this, one could tell just how frightening a Heavenly Flame's suppression of an ordinary flame was!
At the same time, Xiao Yan, who was opposite the two of them, narrowed his eyes as he stared at the two of them. No wonder this old man had such a gaze the moment he appeared. It turns out that he was Xiao Tian's grandfather.
With this thought, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly sank as he felt that something was amiss. If Xiao Tian alone was unable to stop him from entering the Hidden Sky Pavilion, it was likely that everything would be different now that this old man had appeared.
"You … are Xiao Yan?"
The old man's gaze turned back and once again looked at Xiao Yan, who had dispersed his golden body. He took half a step forward and in the next instant, his body had already appeared a short distance away from Xiao Yan. A pair of turbid eyes sized up the latter while his expression was filled with indifference.
"This young one is Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan's heart secretly shivered in the face of this old man's frightening speed. He clenched his teeth as he quickly as he could as he calmed his mind as he cupped his hands together in a respectful manner as he slowly as he spoke.
"Huh?"
Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate Xiao Yan. However, he did not expect the person in front of him to still have such a calm appearance. Even with the old man's rock-like character, he could not help but feel a little surprised when he saw this. Among the younger generation that he had seen, there were very few people who had such a character. Even so, it was ultimately difficult to change his position.
"Your ancestor was promoted to an inner sect elder by the clan head as an exception. I believe that he must have told you quite a lot about the clan's situation. You should be familiar with the name Xiao Jinghong."
Xiao Yan's heart suddenly tightened when the old man's voice sounded. The expression on his face involuntarily changed.
Xiao Jinghong. He remembered that he had heard Xiao Xuan mention last night that he was one of the three inner sect elders and also the biggest obstacle to them joining the Xiao clan. He did not expect to meet him in just one night.
Xiao Jinghong smiled with satisfaction when he saw the change in Xiao Yan's expression. He continued speaking.
"Xiao Yan, this old man will not say any more nonsense. However, there is one thing. This Hidden Sky Pavilion is an important place of our Xiao clan. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Although the blood of our Xiao clan flows in your body, you do not have the right to enter before you officially become a member of our Xiao clan."
"As expected …"
Xiao Yan frowned tightly as he quietly said to himself. At the same time, he could not help but feel a little helpless. The inner sect elder held a high position in the clan. Other than the clan head, no one could control him. Xiao Jinghong's words had naturally sealed off all of Xiao Yan's paths. If he was unable to enter the Hidden Sky Pavilion today, it was likely that he would not have another chance in the future.
"Therefore, you should return."
Xiao Jinghong faintly said. His gaze was calm as he looked at Xiao Yan. Both of his eyes narrowed, as though he was waiting for the latter's reaction. At this moment, a somewhat domineering delicate voice suddenly sounded.
"Why should I return? Since I have come, it is only natural that I should go in and take a look. I can't possibly leave dejectedly just because of your words."
Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily brightened when he heard that familiar voice. He turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, he saw a lovely and pretty human figure walking over from a spot not far from them. Her intelligent eyes were withdrawn from Xiao Jinghong and immediately landed on the former. Her smiling face appeared to be harmless to humans and animals. However, whenever Xiao Yan recalled what had happened yesterday evening, his heart did not dare to be careless with this girl.
This person was Xiao Linger, whom he had exchanged blows with yesterday.
Even with Xiao Jinghong's status as an elder of the inner sect, he could not help but frown when he saw Xiao Linger. His gaze turned and he immediately began to quietly ponder in his heart.
"Hee, we meet again. Today, you will owe me a big favor."
The young lady still had the same mischievous appearance as yesterday when she arrived in front of Xiao Yan. She giggled at the former.
Xiao Yan also hurriedly cupped his hands together and thanked her in response. Just by looking at the young lady's appearance, he knew that he did not need to worry about the following matters.
"Linger, regardless of how arrogant you are usually, the Hidden Sky Pavilion has its own rules. As an outsider, Xiao Yan does not have the qualifications to enter!"
Xiao Tian swiftly stepped forward from beside Xiao Jinghong and said in a low and deep tone.
Xiao Jinghong frowned and looked at his grandson. He opened his mouth slightly but was unable to say anything. After which, he looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Linger on the opposite side.
"Xiao Tian, whether Xiao Yan is an outsider or not, this does not seem to be something for you to say …"
"You …"
"Moreover, whether he can enter the Hidden Sky Pavilion or not is not up to you to decide."
Hearing these two sentences again, Xiao Tian's entire face instantly became green. He hesitated for a moment and was about to open his mouth again when he was stopped by Xiao Jinghong by the side.
"Linger, tell me. What is going on?"
Seeing this, Xiao Linger curled her lips and smiled.
"First Elder has given the order to allow Xiao Yan to enter the Hidden Sky Pavilion. No one is allowed to stop him."
After these words were spoken, Xiao Jinghong nodded his head with an ugly expression. Although he had already guessed this result, personally hearing Xiao Linger's explanation still caused him to feel a little astonished. From the looks of it, the first elder should have seen Xiao Yan.
Xiao Jinghong let out a long breath. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the former again.
He said doubtfully, "Girl, you can't lie to me. Did the first elder really say these words to you?"
Hearing this, the expression on Xiao Linger's pretty face suddenly became slightly serious. After which, she hurriedly took out a white jade tablet from her Storage Ring. Shockingly, the word "Xiao" was written on it.
"This is the jade tablet that the first elder gave me. Why don't you take a look?"
When she said this, the young girl's throat involuntarily rolled.
In the next moment, just as Xiao Jinghong was about to raise his hand to take the jade tablet, his gaze suddenly changed. The movement of his hand also immediately stopped. After which, he deeply looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Linger. Ignoring Xiao Tian's insistence, he quickly brought them away from this place.
