When the few pavilion elders heard this, their expressions changed. They looked at the bamboo forest. From there, an old man wearing a white robe slowly walked out. It was the current Great Elder of the Liu Clan, Liu Xincheng. He looked at the few pavilion elders fiercely and snorted coldly. After which, he ignored them and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, who was standing at the side, and said with a smile,
"My clan members are stupid and did not know the great kindness of the elder. I hope that the elder can forgive them. I am very grateful."
When Xiao Yan heard this, he smiled faintly. He looked at Liu Huabai and said,
"If I don't even have this little bit of magnanimity, wouldn't it be a waste of the cultivation that I have cultivated for so many years? Moreover, this is human nature. Any clan that finds such an ancestral treasure in the clan will surely do their best to protect it, in order to prevent it from being taken away by some ill-intentioned people and causing trouble to the world. Therefore, I can also understand. As for the great kindness of the Liu Clan, I will accept it."
After saying this, Xiao Yan did not hold back. He walked towards the signboard and sat in front of it. His palm was gently placed on the signboard. His Spiritual Strength moved towards the signboard that said "Hidden Million ~ Ten Thousand # ^ ^ Small" on the signboard. After saying these three big words, Xiao Yan rushed over. As soon as he made contact with it, a wild and overbearing suction force emerged from it. In an instant, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength appeared in another world. This place was filled with forests and cranes. At a glance, there were countless mountains and forests. The mountains were lush and the trees were lush. It was a prosperous scene. There were snakes, insects, birds, and beasts. Suddenly, a kind middle-aged man's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's ears. Although this voice was not loud, it caused the entire world to tremble slightly. It was as if there was a heavenly bell that shook the world. This caused Xiao Yan's heart to be slightly shocked. His eyelids involuntarily twitched.
"You are not a member of my Liu Clan, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression did not change. He nodded and said yes. At this moment, Xiao Yan did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. From the previous voice, this middle-aged man's strength was at least at the level of a Seven Star Half Emperor. With such strength, how could he dare to be negligent? Therefore, Xiao Yan appeared to be extremely obedient. The middle-aged man's voice sounded again. After a soft sound, the space in front of Xiao Yan slightly distorted. A middle-aged man with shoulder-length black hair, and a handsome face................ Sun.....................................................................................................................
........ Is it the descendants I left behind who allowed you to use this golden plaque? "
Xiao Yan did not deny it. He nodded and said yes. The middle-aged man also nodded and said again.
"If that's the case, then you should be the one who told them the secret on the golden plaque, right?"
Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded his head in agreement. If such a strong person really wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago. Why would there be a need to say so much nonsense to him. The middle-aged man nodded once again. Immediately, he let out a sorrowful sigh. His gaze had also become somewhat lifeless as he looked at the distant horizon. It was as though he had seen the glorious days of the clan in the past. Unfortunately, those days had already become distant and no longer belonged to them. The glory of the past had already become history. Now, there was only a desolate Liu clan, a Liu clan that could only rise once again by relying on external strength. A moment later, the middle-aged man's gaze finally became resolute once again. His gaze appeared to be once again filled with hope. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan with a sigh. Xiao Yan was also suddenly startled by this gaze. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, curled the corner of his mouth, and laughed dryly as he took half a step back. The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth was lifted into an arc.
"Since you have the right to use this golden plaque, then it means that you have done a great favor for my Liu Family. I think that my descendants will also rely on you. Since that's the case, then the descendants of my Liu Family should be your subordinates. Haha! Protecting your subordinates should be considered your duty as a great person. Then, my Liu Family will be entrusted to you. I hope that you can bring my Liu Family back to its former glory. I don't ask for you to surpass me in the past. As long as you can ensure that my Liu Family can have a place in the southwest region, it will be enough. Of course, as compensation, I will hand over all my comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that I have cultivated throughout my life to you. What do you think? "
Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. However, it was quickly followed by a wave of excitement. In the end, however, he was still uncertain and hesitant. Although increasing his cultivation was good, he still had other matters to attend to. If he stayed in the southwest region for too long, it was likely that the time he would need to search for Hai Mochen would be greatly delayed. Therefore, Xiao Yan was unable to decide whether he should stay or leave.
If he stayed, his strength would increase and he could comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which would make it easier for him to cultivate in the future. However, his progress towards his goal would be much slower. He still did not know who the Old Flame Demon Ghost was, why he was so familiar with him, and where he came from. These were all unknown mysteries that he had to search for answers. Xiao Yan did not know if the Old Flame Demon Ghost would bring people to kill him. If he really did come, then the person who spoke would definitely be someone that Xiao Yan could not face in a direct confrontation. At that time, if Old Flame Demon Ghost did not take action, then Xiao Yan would face a great crisis of life and death. As a result, it would be difficult for Xiao Yan to make a decision quickly. The middle-aged man seemed to be able to see Xiao Yan's worries. His request seemed to be a little too high. He blinked a few times and looked at Xiao Yan again.
"If you have any misgivings in your heart, you don't have to think too much about it. If you have matters to attend to now, you don't have to stay in the Liu Family for too long. As long as you can help the Liu Family stand tall in the southwest region in the future and not decline, you don't have to stay in the Liu Family all the time. I only hope that you can help the Liu Family when the Liu Family is in trouble. Don't let the bloodline of the Liu Family end. This is the only request I have for you as a senior!" The middle-aged man sighed slightly and asked with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Xiao Yan finally nodded when he saw this. The gaze he used to look at the middle-aged man had an additional trace of determination. The middle-aged man helplessly smiled and nodded. Honestly speaking, although he was strong and had the attraction of this inheritance to Xiao Yan, it was ultimately not enough. Other people might not be able to see it, but how could he not see that Xiao Yan's strength was not only strong to the point where it was not much weaker than his, but the most important thing was that Xiao Yan was still young, merely middle-aged. However, he had used more than a hundred years to train to this stage. Hence, with Xiao Yan's training talent, surpassing him was only a matter of time. As long as he was given sufficient time, it was likely that he would have a place even on this continent. After which, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan. Although it was somewhat difficult for him to open his mouth, he finally said it. This middle-aged man spoke to Xiao Yan with some difficulty.
"Little guy, this old man has a presumptuous request. I hope you can agree to it."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but still motioned for the middle-aged man to continue. The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment,
"This old man hopes that you can swear on the lightning penalty oath to ensure my trust in you. I hope you can agree."
Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly when he heard this. The lightning penalty oath was a terrifying thing that he only knew about previously. How could Xiao Yan accept such a terrifying thing being bound to him? Xiao Yan frowned, and a trace of anger rose in his heart. His willingness to help the Liu Family was already his bottom line, but now this old man wanted him to swear on the lightning penalty oath. How could he accept this? Therefore, the expression on his face was rather unpleasant. Seeing this, the middle-aged man also lowered his head helplessly. There was no other way. If he did not do this, he would not be able to ensure his safety. If he did not do this, then he would not be able to ensure his safety. However, if he did this, then he might shut Xiao Yan out. Both sides were difficult, but he had to do it. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan finally calmed down. What this elder said was not unreasonable. Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan finally raised three fingers above his head and pointed towards the sky. His tone was firm as he said,
"I, Xiao Yan, in the name of the Flame Di, swear today that I will do my best to protect the peace of the Liu clan while I am still alive. As long as I am still alive, the Liu clan will prosper!"
At the same time, thunderclouds rolled in the sky outside of the golden plaque. The real thunder of the day resounded in the sky above Qingyang City. Streaks of lightning struck the ground around Xiao Yan, blasting out large patches of charred ground. This caused Liu Huabai and the other members of the Liu Family to quickly retreat and leave the bamboo forest. Only when the thunderclouds disappeared and the sky was bright did everyone gather again. Looking at the motionless Xiao Yan, everyone seemed to have an answer in their hearts. They did not disturb him and quietly waited at the side to chase away some of the family members who came to watch.
Inside the golden plaque, the middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan swear on the lightning penalty oath and nodded his head with a relaxed expression. However, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at him again. There was a strange expression in his eyes, causing the middle-aged man to feel a little uneasy. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Xiao Yan spoke first.
"Senior, since I have already sworn on the lightning penalty oath, is it your turn?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Yan doubtfully and asked,
"What do you mean by that, little friend? Can you tell this old man about it?"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled and said,
"It seems that senior really doesn't know. Since that is the case, junior will explain it to you properly. Senior, you asked junior to swear on the lightning penalty oath. Now, junior has already sworn on the lightning penalty oath according to senior's wishes. However, if junior really leaves like this, then after I go out, won't I have to listen to your Liu family for everything? Therefore, I think senior should also swear on the lightning penalty oath to bind your own family members. Don't use the lightning penalty oath to control me. "
After Xiao Yan's words sounded, he narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man, on the other hand, frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan. A moment later, he let out a long sigh. Finally, he nodded his head and agreed. Like Xiao Yan, he also swore a lightning penalty oath to restrain his own clan members. The members of the Liu clan outside once again saw the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning that resounded throughout the sky. However, the difference this time around was that all the members of the Liu clan could sense the restraining strength of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. It was as though there was something that was restraining another part of them. If they were to violate that part, they would definitely suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Lightning. However, other than the clan head, the First Elder, and a few others, there was indeed no one else who knew what that mysterious part was. The First Elder and the clan head, Liu Huabai, looked at each other. They could see a thread of helplessness and joy in each other's eyes. However, they did not say anything. They quietly waited on the spot, not allowing anyone to approach Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's face was satisfied as he watched the middle-aged man swear on the lightning penalty oath from within the golden plaque. The corner of his mouth revealed a smile as he exchanged glances with the middle-aged man and smiled. However, no one knew what the two of them were thinking in their hearts. Xiao Yan and the middle-aged man chatted and laughed for a little before their eyes carried a sigh as they looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man also appeared to have understood something as he quietly sighed in his heart. The main event had finally arrived!
