"That's the blood stone?"
Xiao Yan asked curiously as he looked at the red crystal hovering above Xiao Dingtian's palm.
"Don't underestimate this thing. It is rumored that this blood stone is produced in the Land of Massacre and is formed by absorbing the bloodline of countless living beings. Therefore, it has an extremely strong ability to sense the bloodline power. It is also because of this that the clan uses it to test the bloodline quality of the clansmen."
Xiao Lei nodded and explained with a smile.
Xiao Yan turned his gaze over with interest when he heard the explanation. At the same time, Xiao Dingtian, who was holding the blood stone, gave out an order.
"There are a total of fifty people participating in the clan sacrifice this time. Excluding the elders and deacons from the various departments, there are forty people left. Each of you will come forward to apply for a blood stone. After passing the blood stone test, you will be qualified to enter the ancestral hall."
Xiao Dingtian stood majestically on the high platform as his dignified voice immediately spread out. The crowd also moved accordingly as they split into two groups and waited quietly.
With Xiao Ming and Xiao Yuehua intimidating them in front, these people were extremely quiet at this moment.
Below the stage, Xiao Yan looked at the crowd that quickly separated and couldn't help but feel surprised. He had seen many outstanding talents among the younger generation of the Xiao Clan when he participated in the clan gathering. He originally thought that they were all of them. However, it seemed like he had underestimated the Xiao Clan's foundation.
Now, it seemed like what Xiao Dingtian said might not be all of the top experts among the younger generation of the Xiao Clan.
To be able to stand among the top forces of the continent, the strength of the Xiao Clan was probably far beyond his imagination!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh at himself. Thinking about it carefully, the Xiao Clan that he had seen so far was still just the tip of the iceberg. As far as Xiao Mingyuan was concerned, he had only met half of the Ten Great Elders. It was even harder to judge the strength of the remaining elders. In such a huge Xiao Clan, there were definitely terrifying existences that ordinary people did not know about. Those people were the true core of the Xiao Clan. At this moment, the people standing in front of him were merely the leaders of the Xiao Clan.
"First, Young Master Xiao."
Just as Xiao Yan was in a daze, Xiao Dingtian's sharp and hoarse voice suddenly resounded. At this moment, in this quiet courtyard, it was like a ripple of a bell. As the young patriarch, Young Master Xiao was naturally at the front.
Under everyone's gazes, Young Master Xiao slowly walked forward and took the blood stone from Xiao Dingtian. However, he wasn't in a hurry to test it. instead, he stood to the side.
"Second …"
"Me Me Me Me!"
Xiao Shaojun retreated to the side. Just as Xiao Dingtian was about to open his mouth, a sharp and mischievous shout suddenly sounded. This voice instantly broke the quiet atmosphere in the arena. Even Xiao Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. Looking over, he really saw a familiar figure shooting out from the crowd and swiftly arriving in front of Xiao Dingtian.
.....
. Xiao Yuehua... Xiao Ming... Xiao Yuehua's and Xiao Yuehua's knitted brows eased up as they looked at the mischievous girl with a smile on her face....
. "This girl relies on the Grand Elder's favor to run amok in the clan. But she just happens to be favored by these two. Even her brother doesn't have this honor."
Xiao Lei teased as he shot an envious gaze at the girl. Xiao Yan chuckled in response. He'd witnessed Xiao Linger's strength. Although she wasn't formidable, her foundation wasn't bad. Most importantly, she was young and tender, yet she had such achievements. Coupled with the good guidance of her ancestors, her future achievements were really limitless!
While the two of them were talking, they saw Xiao Siyu, who'd made a move earlier, step forward to take the blood stone. She took a step back, and the crystal in her hand suddenly emitted a red light. After that, it constantly changed into a purple light. When it flickered with a white light, a wave of gasps instantly resounded in the surroundings.
In the end, the constantly changing light stopped at white. However, compared to before, it appeared even denser.
Xiao Siyu frowned with dissatisfaction as she stared at the blood stone in her hand that was only one step away from leveling up. She threw away the crystal and looked at the bloodstain on her palm. She coldly shook her hand and retreated to the side. Xiao Shaojun quickly stepped forward and comforted her.
"This … indicates her bloodline grade?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw the scene in front of him.
"A denser white grade bloodline. It's only one step away from pure gold. It can be considered extremely outstanding."
Xiao Lei clicked his tongue and said with a surprised face.
"In the Xiao clan, the bloodline grade determined by the blood stone is divided into red, purple, white, pure gold, and brilliant gold. As long as a drop of one's essence blood is integrated into the blood stone, it will emit a light. The darker the color, the stronger the bloodline strength. This is extremely beneficial to one's cultivation and future development and status in the clan."
Xiao Zhuobin didn't think much of it. He only calmly told Xiao Lei what he knew.
"This also means that the descendants of those who possess a high grade bloodline in the clan are destined to become the clan's rulers. This is the clan's only and biggest drawback."
Suddenly, Xiao Feng had unknowingly appeared beside Xiao Yan. If one were to look at him now, his usually calm face actually revealed a disgusted expression at this moment.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment when he heard this. He couldn't help but recall the past. Back then, wasn't he also rudely criticized by other clans because of his bloodline strength? The Dou Qi Continent was like this and the Yuanwu Continent was also like this.
Xiao Yan immediately raised his gaze and looked around. Sure enough, he didn't see Xiao Yang's figure.
He had heard quite a lot about the 'Blood Fury'. However, he never imagined that Xiao Yang would lose the qualification to participate in the Clan Sacrifice because of it.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart. He didn't hate the bloodline for not fighting, he only hated the unfairness of this world!
"I don't hate the bloodline for not fighting, I only hate the unfairness of this world."
Suddenly, Xiao Feng spat out the same sentence as the former. Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan were silent. Soon after, Xiao Dingtian's sharp and harsh voice came from the front.
"Next, Xiao Yan!"
When these words sounded, everyone's gazes immediately fell and landed on Xiao Yan. Their expressions were all different. Just what kind of exciting show would this pair of enemies in front of them put on today?
"Phew …"
Letting out a breath, Xiao Yan slowly raised his gaze and looked at Xiao Dingtian. When he saw the faint sneer on Xiao Dingtian's old face, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a fierce expression.
At this moment, Xiao Lei patted his shoulder and said with a wide smile, "Don't worry.
Although my family's old man is harsh, we are the ones in charge of today's Clan Sacrifice. He won't make things difficult for you. "
Hearing this, the latter smiled in relief and looked at Xiao Xuan. Seeing the latter smile and nod, he stepped forward without hesitation and walked towards Xiao Dingtian.
At this moment, the four people on the stairs had gathered their gazes on Xiao Yan after Xiao Yan approached. Xiao Yuehua and Xiao Ming narrowed their eyes. Their sharp eyes seemed to be about to see through the person in front of them. Their hearts were quite curious about this outsider, who had stirred up quite a lot of trouble in the clan during the past half a year.
"Hmph, Xiao Yan, if you don't want to lose face in today's Clan Sacrifice Ceremony, it's not too late to leave now."
As he stepped forward, Xiao Dingtian's words were quietly transmitted into Xiao Yan's ears. This caused the latter to frown slightly. His face was filled with doubt as he looked at the other party. After which, he curled his mouth and laughed coldly.
"Sorry, compared to giving up, I prefer a challenge."
