The suppressive effect of the Melting Pill Ring was getting weaker and weaker. To be safe, Xiao Yan had refined some pills during this period. With the help of external forces, it was indeed effective in temporarily guiding the black energy to devour its target. However, the result of this method was that it directly led to the rapid growth of the black energy. It was not difficult to imagine how miserable the result would be if one consumed pills to suppress it for a long period of time.
Faced with such a frightening potential danger, Bai Hua merely smiled. Back then, he did not expect that a useless medicinal pill would actually evolve into such a state. However, during these two years, he had gradually gotten used to this kind of feeling. Although this caused him to be unable to train for a long time, at the very least, the current him would no longer cause any trouble for Xiao Yan. Currently, the only thing that could cause him to be reluctant to part with it was that stupid girl who liked to pester him …
Looking at Xiao Yan, who had an ugly expression on his face, Bai Hua withdrew her thoughts and slowly stood up. She patted the former's shoulder and sighed deeply, saying:
"Don't worry. It's not the first day or two. She won't die for the time being."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan paused for a moment. Immediately, his attitude changed as he laughed. He curled his mouth and said,
"Don't worry. With me here, I will definitely not let anything happen to you."
After his voice faded, Xiao Yan said a few more words to Bai Hua. Then, he left the courtyard and entered the Hidden Sky Pavilion after a round of turnover.
Now that things had developed to this point, Xiao Yan was unable to do anything to the black strength by relying on his own tactics. All he could do now was to gamble within the Inner Sky Pavilion and hope that the rich collection of the Xiao clan would be able to find something that he needed.
Unfortunately, the situation in Bai Hua's body was unusual. After a round of searching, even with the rich collection of the Xiao clan, he still could not find any specific useful information. Now, it seemed that he could only bet all his hopes on the Heaven Questioning Pill!
At the back mountain of the Xiao clan.
At this moment, it had been almost three months since Xiao Yan had returned to the clan. Ever since the matter with Bai Hua had been fruitless, Xiao Yan had decisively invested all of his time into training. As a result, his strength after his breakthrough was consolidated.
Xiao Yan sat on the cliff and sensed the surging energy flowing through the veins within his body. He involuntarily recalled the battle with Bai Rong's group back then. At that time, he had been imprisoned and was in a passive position. Even with the help of a Secret Technique, he was only able to barely block the other party's attacks. If one were to carefully consider it, with his current strength, he could reach the level of a nine star Source Zong after using the Secret Technique. If one were to include the six Heavenly Flames in his hand and the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame that he unleashed with all his strength, Xiao Yan was confident that no one below the level of a Yuan Zun would be able to survive!
"Phew …"
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath after thinking about it in his heart. His body trembled slightly. When he stood up, a green-clothed figure swiftly shot over from the sky above the sea of trees in front of him. After which, the figure stood in the empty space opposite of Xiao Yan.
"Ancestor, why have you come?"
Ever since he had returned to the Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan had been dealing with matters related to the Zhao clan. Hence, the two of them rarely met. Whenever Xiao Xuan appeared, he would basically help Xiao Yan block some trouble. However, looking at his smiling appearance today, it didn't seem like it.
"I'm here to inform you of a piece of news."
…
"No, you can't do that, Great Elder!"
At the same time, somewhere in the back mountain of the Xiao clan, Xiao Dingtian shouted in an extremely agitated tone. His expression was rather gloomy.
"Even if he has returned to the clan and the Xiao clan acknowledges his existence, how can the clan's rules be changed because of him?"
Xiao Zhen narrowed his old eyes and stared at Xiao Dingtian before him.
"But this is what he deserves. Back then, you guys kept pushing him. The Patriarch and I gave in time and time again because of your many years of contributions to the family. That's what led to this outcome. In the end, we owe him this!"
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth with an ugly expression. He pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"No matter what, according to the clan's rules, the ancestral hall will only be opened once every twenty years. If it is opened earlier, the Sacred Blood Crystal will definitely be affected. That is the foundation of the Xiao clan!"
"Fool! The continuation of the clan depends on the people. Although the Sacred Blood Crystal is precious, it still contains the bloodline of a human! If we can use it to strengthen the Xiao clan, it will be a good use. Otherwise, what's the point of its existence! "
Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Even until now, Xiao Dingtian was still so pedantic. When Xiao Dingtian heard these words, he became silent for a moment. He hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and spoke to Xiao Zhen with determination.
"But this matter is related to the clan's reputation. He has just returned. He has no aptitude and no achievements. We can't possibly pull down the entire clan's reputation just for him, right?"
"If we can't even keep our own family members, what's the use of our reputation!"
Xiao Zhen rebuked angrily. His domineering attitude made Xiao Dingtian lower his head with a gloomy expression. Xiao Zhen then slowly exhaled and said,
"In addition, according to special permission, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan will participate in the clan sacrifice together."
"Xiao Yang? That fellow … "
"This is the Ancestor's decision. We only need to follow it."
Xiao Dingtian was about to refute, but Xiao Zhen mentioned the Ancestor. Xiao Dingtian immediately became dejected.
On the other side.
"Clan sacrifice?"
Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yan was a little surprised. He knew quite a bit about the clan sacrifice back then. Naturally, he knew that according to the normal clan rules, the clan sacrifice would only be held once every twenty years. Other than the time for the younger generation to grow, the energy needed to complete the clan sacrifice would also slowly recover during this period of time.
However, Xiao Yan didn't expect the Xiao clan's upper echelons to make such a decision. In less than two years, they were going to hold another clan sacrifice for him.
"It's not just for you. Xiao Yang will be participating with you this time."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little surprised for a moment. Then, he suddenly understood and nodded. That was true. After all, that fellow's perseverance was seen by everyone. Now that the clan allowed him to participate in the clan sacrifice, it could be considered as compensation for neglecting him for so many years.
"If that's the case, when will the clan sacrifice be held this time?"
Withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with a fiery passion as he asked in doubt.
Xiao Xuan smiled at Xiao Yan and said,
"If you are willing, you can do it anytime."
"I'm afraid I can't do it now!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a figure quickly appeared in the void not far away from him. The person was wearing a luxurious robe. It was the clan leader, Xiao Yuheng.
Hearing the former's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan looked at each other. Then, their gazes fell on Xiao Yuheng. Xiao Yuheng frowned and sighed. He took a deep look at Xiao Yan before shifting his gaze to Xiao Xuan and slowly said, "The Bai clan has come.
"Someone from the Bai clan has come and requested for Xiao Yan to be handed over."
