An earth-shattering explosion swept across the sky. Apart from the Origin Venerables, everyone else in the sky hastily retreated. Once the shockwaves from such a terrifying explosion spread, even a high-tier Origin Ancestor would not be able to guarantee that they would not be hammered to death.
After the shockwaves passed, a huge wave of wind followed. Several figures flashed through the waves of flames, and after a few low sounds of collision, both sides quickly retreated from the range of the explosion.
After a long time, when the energy storm dissipated, the two clans faced each other in the sky. Xiao Yan was flanked by Xiao Yuheng and the others, while the North King stood in front of him. Behind him was a group of cold gazes that stared fearlessly at the White Clan's powerhouses.
As for Bai Haotang, he was currently holding Bai Zijing, who looked like a rag in his hand. His aura was extremely furious, and his murderous intent surged towards Xiao Yan. Even though he had tried his best earlier, he had only been able to drag Bai Zijing, who was barely alive, back to him. Judging from the current situation, Bai Zijing's chances of survival were slim.
"Xiao Yan …"
Bai Haotang gritted his teeth as he breathed rapidly. The fury in his chest was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"Kill!"
With a sudden roar, Bai Haotang's body charged forward, but at that moment, a gray-robed elder beside him roared in a hoarse voice.
"Patriarch, we can't afford to waste any more time today!"
Bai Haotang's body trembled when he heard this roar. He turned around and saw that the auras of the White Clan's powerhouses were in chaos. Many of them had been seriously injured in the previous battle, and even the two gray-robed elders' auras were somewhat unstable. On the other hand, the Xiao Clan's people all took a step forward when they looked over. Their fierce auras immediately swept towards the White Clan's powerhouses, instantly suppressing their auras.
The outcome of this battle was self-evident.
Xiao Yuheng slowly stepped forward and swept his gaze across the White Clan's people. His gaze returned to Bai Haotang.
"Bai Haotang, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. If you continue fighting, I don't mind letting the White Clan lose three Origin Venerables."
"You …"
"Patriarch!"
Bai Haotang was just about to flare up in anger when the two grey-robed elders beside him hurriedly spoke out to stop him. They really didn't have the strength to fight today.
On the spot, Bai Haotang clenched his fists tightly. He looked at the dying Bai Zijing in the arms of a clansman. The scarlet killing intent in his eyes was forcefully suppressed. He swung his sleeves and roared angrily, filled with unwillingness.
"Retreat!"
The members of the Xiao clan finally heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this group of dejected fellows leave. A smile surfaced on Xiao Yan's pale face. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuheng beside him and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Patriarch and Elders, for stepping in!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng chuckled and helped Xiao Yan up.
"We're all family. There's no need to thank me for such a thing."
"You, on the other hand, have already blocked that guy. As long as you don't show up, the Bai Family won't be able to do anything."
Xiao Yuehua's beautiful eyes paused on Xiao Yan as she spoke in a slightly reproachful tone.
"They have already swaggered up to us. If I don't show up, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
Xiao Yan smiled.
"Forget it. You guys go back first. I will order Xiao City to strengthen its defenses to prevent the Bai Family from launching a sneak attack."
Xiao Yuehua helplessly shook her head. She turned around and quickly flew towards the city below. In the sky, the group of Xiao clan experts left one after another, leaving behind Xiao Shaojun and the other juniors. After Xiao Yuheng gave a few simple instructions, he also slowly disappeared into the void.
Xiao Yan slowly clenched his fist as he looked in the direction that the experts from the Bai clan had left. He understood in his heart that from today onwards, he and the Bai clan would end up in a situation where they could not live under the same sky. At the same time, he also knew that the people he would have to face in the future would not only be the experts from the Origin Sect. Having offended an existence at Bai Haotang's level, it was likely that he would have to be even more careful when doing things in the Middle Region.
"Don't worry. Although the Bai Family is strong, they are just so-so in the eyes of our Xiao Clan. After today, they will not dare to easily invade us."
Xiao Shaojun gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder as if he could see the apprehension in his heart.
Xiao Yan's name resounded over the entire Xiao clan's territory after the soul-stirring battle with Bai Zijing in the sky above Xiao City. Many factions within the Middle Region began to have rumors related to him. There were an uncountable number of people within the Xiao clan who spread the news of his battle results. Although many people were not present during the battle back then, they spoke of it with great interest as though they had personally witnessed it. In an instant, all the young people within the Xiao clan regarded Xiao Yan as their benchmark.
While Xiao Yan's name was spreading everywhere, the latter was quietly cultivating in the back mountain of the Xiao Clan.
After going through such a huge battle, the exhaustion on his body was naturally enormous. However, the result of such exhaustion was a high desire for strength in his body.
Under this kind of collision, Xiao Yan's own strength had also improved a little. Although this kind of improvement was extremely slow, it could already be considered a great help to him, who had just consolidated his strength not long ago.
Outside the ancestral hall of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Yan came here with a heart full of hope. When he recalled his previous experience, a trace of unhappiness involuntarily flashed across his heart. However, he quickly threw it to the back of his mind. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao Yang?"
Xiao Yan was a little surprised when he saw the person in front of him. The latter smiled and said coldly.
"It is all thanks to you that I have the opportunity to participate in the clan ceremony."
Xiao Yan was a little stunned when he heard this. Soon after, he seemed to have understood something. He gently shrugged his shoulders and declined to comment.
"I have heard about what happened a few days ago. You are indeed more terrifying than I imagined. It is a pity that I was not in Xiao City that day. By the time I rushed back, the matter had already ended."
"It's alright. Since you are already here, you are not here to tell me this."
Xiao Yan smiled when he heard Xiao Yang's respectful words. It was really rare for this fellow to say such words.
After the two of them spoke, the tightly shut stone door of the ancestral hall in the depths of the courtyard finally opened slowly. The person who walked out was the First Elder, Xiao Zhen.
"First Elder!"
The two of them did not dare to slight the old man when they saw him. Xiao Zhen nodded his head in response. His turbid old eyes paused on Xiao Yan for a moment. After which, he looked at Xiao Yang and said slowly,
"Come in."
The two of them looked at each other. They took a deep breath and stepped into the ancestral hall together. At the same time, a slightly excited emotion rapidly surged in the chests of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yang.
After two years, the clan ceremony was finally here!
