"Junior Xiao Yan greets Patriarch and Sixth Elder!"
Although Xiao Yan was surprised in his heart when faced with the Sixth Elder who had suddenly appeared in front of him, he did not dare to slight him at this moment. However, his words had intentionally neglected Xiao Dingtian, causing the latter's old face to appear quite ugly.
"Xiao Yan, I just heard Patriarch praising you. Now that I've seen you, you're more like the rumored mischievous person. You're the first person who dares to make a move in the ancestral garden."
Ignoring Xiao Yan's respectful etiquette, Xiao Yuehua spoke coldly with an expressionless face.
"The ancestral hall is where the dignity of the clan resides. If your actions aren't severely punished, I'm afraid it will spoil the atmosphere."
Xiao Dingtian spoke with a righteous tone.
The gazes of quite a number of people present landed on Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan the moment these words were uttered. Just a few short sentences had caused the atmosphere to become extremely tense. From the looks of it, Xiao Dingtian was determined to stop Xiao Yan from participating in the Clan Sacrifice today.
Xiao Yuheng was expressionless, but a trace of displeasure flashed across the depths of his eyes.
"Patriarch, Elders, I was just curious and took the initiative to probe. Xiao Yan was just defending himself. If there's any punishment, Siyu is willing to bear it."
Just at this moment, Xiao Siyu suddenly stepped forward to explain. Everyone's gazes shifted, and Xiao Dingtian's brows, which had just relaxed, immediately furrowed.
"In this old man's opinion, Xiao Siyu was just unintentionally probing, but this kid didn't differentiate between friend and foe. It was obvious that he did it intentionally. If such a person …"
"Xiao Dingtian, don't go overboard."
Just as Xiao Dingtian's voice fell, a displeased low voice sounded in his ears. At the same time, his emotions came to a sudden stop, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were also forcefully stopped. After pausing for a few seconds and regaining his senses under the suspicious gazes of the surrounding clansmen, an ear-piercing buzzing sound suddenly came from the tightly shut ancestral hall in the courtyard behind everyone.
When dozens of gazes gathered, they saw the door of the ancestral hall slowly opening. Everyone's emotions suddenly changed at this moment.
"The ancestral shrine is open!"
The sound of footsteps rang out one after another, and loud voices filled with passion soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Yan's group and Xiao Shaojun's group remained.
At this moment, Xiao Yuehua also lazily withdrew her gaze and glanced at Xiao Dingtian. She then looked at Xiao Yuheng, who was at the side. Her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and walked towards the ancestral shrine.
"Haha, it's open, it's open. Let's go. The Clan Sacrifice is more important."
Xiao Mingyuan laughed dryly and hurriedly urged Xiao Yan and the others.
Although Xiao Yuheng's words just now sounded flat, the anger in them could not be disobeyed. Even with his temperament, he was still shocked.
Normally, there was no lack of people in the clan who ridiculed the Patriarch for not doing anything. He didn't have his own opinion on the clan's matters and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. There were even people who thought that the Patriarch's position existed in name only. But from the brief words just now and the reaction of Xiao Dingtian and Xiao Yuehua, it was obviously very different from what everyone thought. It couldn't help but cause people to raise their eyebrows.
"Heh, the Patriarch only has the intention to ignore the disputes within the clan. Don't think that he really doesn't care about anything. Once the Patriarch becomes serious, I'm afraid that even the Great Elder will have to listen to his orders."
Seeing Xiao Lei and the others whispering at the side, Xiao Mingyuan glanced at Xiao Yuheng from the corner of his eyes and joked.
"Since he is able to sit firmly in the Patriarch's position, there is no need to doubt his ability. Don't underestimate him."
As he spoke, the old man patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and turned his head to look forward. When the Profound Door was completely opened, the flow of people had just arrived at the door when a low and deafening roar like a lion's roar suddenly swept out from the ancestral shrine. In an instant, it shook the group of people and forced them to retreat.
The sudden scene in front of him caused Xiao Yan's eyebrows to twitch slightly. There was actually someone else in the ancestral shrine. Looking at this roar, the strength of this person should also be terrifyingly strong!
"Everyone, retreat ten feet away!"
Accompanied by a figure stepping out, a shout that was filled with coldness immediately sounded out. The moment the people present saw the figure, they also quickly retreated with fear.
The crowd retreated, and a burly figure with gray skin was exposed in front of everyone.
When Xiao Yan saw this person for the first time, his breathing couldn't help but stagnate for a moment. Even his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
The moment he recovered, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he panted violently for a while. When he looked up again, he found that the person was staring straight at him at this time.
"Don't look at his eyes!"
Xiao Ming Yuan let out a low cry and pulled back Xiao Yan, whose eyes were about to lose focus.
"This is the fourth elder of the family, Xiao Ming. He has been pursuing the Rock Dao all his life. Even his eyes are extremely strange. When you look at him, you must be careful not to be petrified by his strange ability."
Once these words were spoken, Xiao Yan finally came to a sudden understanding. No wonder he had felt such a heavy pressure in that instant just now. The reason was actually here. However, thinking about it from another perspective, this Fourth Elder was indeed a heaven-shaking person. Just a glance was able to possess such a strange ability. One could imagine just how frightening his true strength was. One could see the whole picture with a single glance!
"Ever since I joined the family, I have always been curious and doubtful about the ten great elders. However, after seeing these two today, I have truly seen the foundation of the Xiao Clan."
Xiao Yan laughed self-deprecatingly. Judging from the two elders he had seen in this courtyard, their strength was definitely above the level of a Source Venerate. Now, it seemed that, except for the person beside him, the strength of the ten great elders of the Xiao Clan was not inferior at all.
"What are you talking about? I am ranked third among the elders, but I didn't say that the ten great elders were ranked according to their strength. If I hadn't focused on alchemy, my current cultivation would not be weaker than the first elder's."
Hearing the meaning in Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Mingyuan curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said with an arrogant face.
Hearing this, Xiao Ming just smiled faintly, but Xiao Shaojun leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You're right.
The third elder's talent and bloodline are so strong that few people in the family can match him. It's just that he is lazy and likes to travel, so he can only achieve what he has today. "
Xiao Ming, who was standing in front of him, shouted coldly again.
"Everyone can enter the ancestral temple after being examined by the blood stone. Violators will be beheaded!"
These words were concise and comprehensive, but they didn't sound like a joke. Xiao Yan even had no doubt that if someone really disobeyed, Xiao Ming would not hesitate at all.
"This guy is really ruthless!"
Xiao Yan smacked his lips and sighed softly.
Xiao Mingyuan didn't find it strange and said,
"It is said that there are two people in the Xiao Clan that you can't provoke. One is the Heartless Whip Xiao Yuehua, and the other is the Grim Asura Xiao Ming. Not for anything else, but because these two people don't even show mercy to their own clansmen. The patriarch suffered a lot at their hands when he was young."
At the end of his words, Xiao Mingyuan turned his gaze to Xiao Yuheng. This also made Xiao Yan and the others, who didn't know what was going on, show a curious look one after another. Even Xiao Shaojun came over with a little interest.
However, before Xiao Mingyuan could say anything, Xiao Dingtian and Xiao Yuehua stood on the high platform. Everyone's attention followed the blood-red crystal that appeared in Xiao Dingtian's hand.
