The Xiao Clan's Ancestral Temple was located at the back of the Xiao Clan's Clan Hall. This place was closed all year round. Usually, other than the higher-ups of the clan, the only chance for the others to come here was the Clan Sacrifice.
Today was the day of the Clan Sacrifice. Only through this opportunity would these people have the opportunity to see the interior of the Ancestral Temple.
Outside the Ancestral Temple was a courtyard that occupied a rather vast area. It was orderly in all directions, and strange stones stood in great numbers. The ground was made of hard black rock, and it was carved with mysterious runes. Looking from above, one could see that these runes were intertwined to form a huge formation. Even the seemingly ordinary objects displayed in the courtyard were a part of this formation. The Ancestral Temple was located at the centermost position of the entire formation. It was not difficult to imagine that if someone tried to trespass, no matter which direction they came from, they would trigger the operation of this large formation.
At this moment, there were many figures standing in the front courtyard of the Ancestral Temple. Most of them were the figures who appeared in the Clan Meeting. They were also the outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Xiao Clan. Xiao Feng and the others were among them. Even the Young Clan Leader, Xiao Shaojun, was standing in the field. As for the few middle-aged men, they were deacons of various places in the clan. They relied on their contributions to the clan to make an exception and enter this place to participate in the Clan Sacrifice.
In front of the Ancestral Temple, with Xiao Yuheng as the leader, there were three people standing side by side. On the right was Xiao Dingtian, who had a gloomy face, and on the left was a well-built woman.
At this moment, the three of them were silent. Their eyes were calmly looking at the people present. When the woman withdrew her stern gaze, she looked at the sky above her head and couldn't help but frown. According to the rules, it was time to open the Ancestral Temple. However, Xiao Yuheng, who was standing at the side, was indifferent. It seemed as though he was deliberately waiting for someone.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. A few figures suddenly flashed and walked in with large strides. They quickly appeared in the sight of everyone present. It was Xiao Yan and the others.
"Heh, this fellow is really high-profile."
Looking at the several figures that stepped into the courtyard side by side, Xiao Shao Jun, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest with an exuberant expression, could not help but let out a chuckle. The red-dressed woman beside him also smiled and sized up the approaching figures with great interest.
At the same time, the gazes of Xiao Yuheng and the other two also landed on Xiao Yan, who was the leader of the group.
"Hmph, so what if they're here? This old man will never allow anyone to taint the bloodline of my clan!"
Looking at Xiao Yan who was walking through the crowd step by step, Xiao Dingtian gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.
"He's Xiao Yan?"
Beside Xiao Yuheng, the woman coldly stared at the black-robed man with her phoenix eyes as she spoke in an indifferent tone.
"That's right. Although he looks rather ordinary, there are very few people in the same generation who can compare to him."
The former also stared at Xiao Yan, who was walking over. Her calm eyes surged with some light and her words were filled with praise.
Hearing that, the woman could not help but raise her eyebrows and look at Xiao Yuheng.
She then teased, "That's right, he is indeed ordinary. He only possesses a Heavenly Flame and defeated the Crown Prince."
"Uh …"
Xiao Yuheng was slightly taken aback and smiled awkwardly. The woman only curled her lips and continued,
"You deliberately did not tell me this because you want me to have a good impression of the strength he displayed without knowing it, so that he can have a smoother time during the Clan Sacrifice?"
Having his scheme exposed, Xiao Yuheng immediately laughed embarrassedly. The latter coldly retracted her gaze and looked at Xiao Yan and the others. She said with an expressionless face,
"My duty is to maintain the normal conduct of the Clan Sacrifice and the evaluation of the bloodline rank. The rest will be based on the clan's rules. I will not interfere. If Clan Leader wishes for me to go easy on him, then please find someone else."
"Uh … Sixth Elder, why do you say that? In my opinion, although Xiao Yan has some talent, there is still a large gap between him and Young Master. That's why I said that."
Xiao Yuheng laughed dryly, and the woman was too lazy to say anything after hearing it. Instead, it was Xiao Dingtian who was on the right who raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened, but the corner of his mouth had an indistinct smile.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was looking at quite a number of familiar figures in front of him. After nodding his head and greeting the few people in front of him, his gaze had just landed on Xiao Shao Jun when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar Spiritual Strength swiftly approaching. Immediately, he subconsciously knit his brows slightly. A thought passed through his mind and an invisible Spiritual Strength swept out from between his brows. It transformed into a large hand that was swung out and collided with the Spiritual Strength that was charging over.
"Buzz!"
A low and deep collision sound suddenly resounded in the courtyard that had a relaxed atmosphere. Without waiting for everyone to regain their senses, an invisible Spiritual Storm immediately swept out and spread in all directions. Many people present immediately felt dizzy. Even Xiao Yuheng and the other two frowned slightly at this moment.
In the center of the courtyard, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at the graceful woman in front of him. The Soul Energy earlier came from this woman.
"It is indeed a rank 7 Soul Energy."
The woman took a few steps forward and said.
Glancing at Young Master Xiao, who was beside the woman, Xiao Yan looked at the latter and smiled. He then spoke to Xiao Siyu.
"Xiao Siyu, you aren't any worse than the rumors."
Although it was only a short collision, Xiao Yan could clearly feel the strength of the other party's Soul Energy. She was indeed worthy of being the Xiao Clan's genius and Xiao Mingyuan's disciple. Her precise control of Soul Energy was much more shocking than he had imagined.
"Hehe, this girl's Soul Energy is the most outstanding I have seen in all these years. Although you aren't bad, I'm afraid you are inferior to the second girl."
Xiao Mingyuan patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with a proud face. At the same time, Xiao Siyu bowed respectfully to the old man. Xiao Yan was curious. He had heard that the clan called Xiao Siyu Second Miss. Could it be that there was a Big Sister above her?
If the Second Miss was already like this, then the Big Sister would be even more terrifying!
"Who allowed you to fight in the ancestral garden?!"
But at this moment, a stern and cold voice suddenly sounded from the side of the crowd. Xiao Yan instantly returned to his senses. Everyone present immediately focused their gazes on a woman who walked out from the crowd. Beside her were Patriarch Xiao Yuheng and Xiao Dingtian.
When they saw the woman, the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly tensed up. Everyone bowed towards the woman. Even the proud and arrogant Xiao Shaojun and Xiao Feng, who had a cold expression, bowed respectfully.
At this moment, it was likely that only Xiao Mingyuan and the two others were not afraid of this woman. Xiao Yan's face was at a loss as he followed and bowed. At the same time, Xiao Xuan's words quietly entered his ears.
"This is the Sixth Elder of the clan, Xiao Yuehua. She is a strict person. You have to pay attention to your attitude."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Sixth Elder? It's actually a woman? "
