Everyone was seated in the living room. Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the people present. A look of admiration surged into his eyes.
Everyone's cultivation had increased significantly after the Clan Sacrifice. Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin had already stepped into the 7-star Source Ancestor realm, and even Xiao Feng had reached the early 7-star Source Ancestor realm. Xiao Siyu had reached the 8-star Source Ancestor realm, and the strongest person present, Xiao Shaojun, was approaching the peak of the late 9-star Source Ancestor realm. Xiao Yan believed that he would be able to take that step in less than three years and become a Source Venerate!
As for the person whose cultivation had increased the most amongst everyone present …
"Hehe, my old man said yesterday that my strength had increased by quite a bit. Do you want to have a go with me? You weren't around for the past two years, so there wasn't anyone in the clan who could fight with me. "
Xiao Ling`er sat on a chair, her jade-like hands cupping her delicate cheeks as she stared at Xiao Yan with a hopeful expression.
"Uh …"
Xiao Yan smiled embarrassedly, then shook his head with a bitter smile. This girl's temperament was indeed a little wild, but her cultivation talent could be described as terrifying. In a short two years, even if it was because of the Clan Sacrifice, this girl's cultivation had jumped from the 2-star Source Ancestor realm to the 6-star Source Ancestor realm, an increase of four stars. From a certain point of view, such a terrifying increase was even faster than him relying on devouring Heavenly Flames to increase his cultivation!
"Hehe, don't underestimate this girl. Ever since the Clan Sacrifice, she has caused quite a bit of trouble for us. All of us here have been beaten up by her twice."
"Hehe, you met Xiao Yang on your way back, right? With that guy's current strength, even we have to retreat a little if he goes all out. However, in this girl's hands, we don't even have the chance to retaliate."
Seeing Xiao Linger's eager appearance, Xiao Lei and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Ever since Xiao Linger was defeated by Xiao Yang during the Clan Gathering, every time the young girl's cultivation improved, she would take the initiative to challenge them. However, as long as she was defeated, the young girl's depressed mood would immediately change direction and she would direct her rage towards them.
With this girl's status in the clan, aside from Xiao Shaojun, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Shaojun, the others could only be bullied by her. Half a year ago, she had entered a 6-Star Source Sect and was under the personal control of the Great Elder. Only then did she become much more well-behaved.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Linger who was opposite him and pointed her nose at Xiao Lei and the others with a proud expression. She lightly raised her jade finger and a thin ribbon flew up, twisting like a spirit snake. Xiao Yan instantly went silent when he saw this.
Xiao Shaojun smiled and glanced at Huo Rong and Huo Rong who were seated beside Xiao Yan. A bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes as he slowly said,
"Compared to us staying within the clan, I think that cousin-brother Xiao Yan's trip can be considered to have gained a lot. Let's not talk about the two additional companions. Your cultivation seems to have reached that of a seven star source, right?"
The expressions of everyone present instantly changed when these words were spoken, and when they saw Xiao Yan nod his head in confirmation, their eyes revealed astonishment.
"Probably … intermediate 7-Star Source Sect."
Whoosh!
Everyone present instantly went into an uproar when these words were spoken. Xiao Lei and the others had expressions as if they were looking at a monster. It was very difficult to imagine exactly what Xiao Yan had encountered in the past two years to actually be able to raise his cultivation so quickly. After all, even Xiao Shaojun, a publicly acknowledged genius of the Xiao Clan, had similarly relied on the power of the Clan Sacrifice to raise his strength to the peak of the Source Sect in two years. However, Xiao Yan's results were something that no one dared to imagine.
"Hehe, come, come, come. Let's fight! Let's fight!"
At this moment, Xiao Linger was probably the only person in the hall who was still in high spirits after learning that Xiao Yan's cultivation had increased. The excitement in the little girl's eyes grew even denser. Her delicate figure jumped down from the chair and charged towards Xiao Yan. Fortunately, Xiao Shaojun who was behind her had sharp eyes and nimble hands. He grabbed the ribbon around the young girl's body and pulled her back. At the same time, he lightly patted her head and reprimanded in a soft voice.
"Little girl, you only know how to fight all day long. Behave yourself."
After speaking, he immediately threw the young girl out of the hall under everyone's stunned gazes. No matter how furious her face was, there was nothing she could do.
Without the young miss in the hall, the atmosphere naturally became much quieter. After chatting with a few people, Xiao Yan also learned that Xiao Ming had left the clan. However, according to Xiao Shaojun, there were only a few people in the clan who knew the details.
In addition, the final result of the battle between Xiao Yitian and Ouyang Yu more than a year ago was that Ouyang Yu had returned to the clan. In that battle, he had lost both of his arms. However, Xiao Yitian's whereabouts were unknown. The upper echelons of the clan also did not give any relevant answers.
Everyone sat and chatted for a long time. After they left, the huge courtyard once again became empty and quiet. After chatting for a while, Xiao Yan learned about many changes in the Xiao clan in recent years. He also learned some secrets about the Central Region. If this information was spread to the outside world, there would definitely be very few people who knew about it. Only in this huge clan could one know a little about it. When he thought about how the Central Region, which seemed peaceful on the surface, was actually filled with fierce undercurrents and unforeseen events, Xiao Yan's heart could not help but be slightly agitated.
If he wanted to establish a foothold in the Central Region in the future, he probably could no longer rely on his own strength …
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Ever since the news of Xiao Yan's return to the Xiao clan spread, the Inner Sect Elders, who usually held high positions, rushed to Xiao Yan's courtyard one after another in the following days. In particular, those who knew that Xiao Shaojun and the others had gathered to visit Xiao Yan came in an endless stream to befriend them. Other than a portion that could be easily dismissed, the remaining few old antiques, even Xiao Shaojun, stepped forward to chat with Xiao Yan.
It was only when Xiao Xuan stepped forward and blocked those fellows behind him that Xiao Yan's subsequent days finally became idle. Usually, he would accompany the two girls in his family to play all over the place. As he sensed the fresh and elegant atmosphere among the young ladies, he appeared to have become much younger.
In the hall.
Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his hand from Bai Hua's wrist. His furrowed brows did not loosen for a long time. The worry in his heart grew even more grave.
During the many recent investigations, Xiao Yan was able to clearly sense that the black-colored strength within Bai Hua's body might be suppressed by Xiao Xuan's formation, but it was ultimately unable to completely seal it. Bai Hua's Spiritual Essence was still being swallowed by that strength at an extremely slow pace. Even the suppressive effect of the Transforming Pill Ring was becoming increasingly difficult.
