Xue Xiaofan had the Barbarian Race's bloodline. When he activated it on the Heavenly Staircase, he became a true Barbarian. His bloodline was very powerful, and it was close to the Ancestral Awakening Bloodline.
After hearing Xue Xiaofan's distress, Yang Wu immediately checked his body and found that his Blood Qi was astonishing. His foundation was vigorous, and his meridians and acupoints were all smooth. There was not much abnormality.
While he was still puzzled, Barbarian Elephant walked over and said, "He should be cultivating the Barbarian Race's cultivation method. That's why he can achieve twice the results with half the effort."
"That's right. Barbarians must cultivate the Barbarian Race's mystic arts. We only have low-level ones. I'm afraid they're not suitable for him." Barbarian Tiger also walked over.
Barbarian Bull didn't appear. He was still cultivating.
Barbarian Elephant and Barbarian Tiger both broke through to the Small Saint Realm and reached the Intermediate Saint Realm. Even Yang Wu was shocked by their rapid growth. "Brother Elephant, Sister Tiger, your strength has increased so quickly."
"Haha, it should be the effect of the Sacred Mountain." Barbarian Elephant smiled.
"We'll only stop growing when we reach the Demon Saint Realm," Barbarian Tiger said honestly.
"Good. Then I'm relieved. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want." Yang Wu was happy for them.
"We won't go anywhere. We'll follow you." Barbarian Elephant said firmly.
"That's right. I heard that you're going to fight for the Dragon Phoenix List. The three of us will go with you." Barbarian Tiger was full of fighting spirit.
"Good. Since you have such thoughts, I won't spoil your mood. Let's fight for the Dragon Phoenix List together." Yang Wu agreed. Then, he turned back to Xue Xiaofan to see if there was a solution.
After a long discussion, Yang Wu finally understood Xue Xiaofan's problem.
It was still the same problem as before. Xue Xiaofan needed a Barbarian Race's Profound Art in order to support him to become stronger.
Fortunately, Barbarian Elephant used to be a protector of the Barbarian Race, so he had the Barbarian Race's cultivation method. Even if it was a bit low level, it was enough to support Xue Xiaofan's current cultivation. However, once he reached the Heaven Stage, without a better Xuan Formula, his achievements would be limited.
In the end, Yang Wu decided to let Barbarian Elephant pass the Profound Art to Xue Xiaofan. When he found Little Hei in the future, he would be able to obtain a Cultivation Immortal Art that was more suitable for Xue Xiaofan. If that didn't work, he would have to make a trip to the Yin-Yang Cult.
In the past few years, he had grown up without Little Hei's help. Now, he began to miss her again.
…
The next day, Yang Wu brought Yang Tianlin, Yang Yifan, Yang Manmi, and the rest of the eleven people to leave the Yang Clan for the territory of the Xu Clan, a subsidiary faction.
The Xu Family had territory in the Yang Family City, but their true foundation was the "Heavenly Steel Mountain". That place was rich in "Heavenly Steel Stone", which was a type of Heaven level refining material. The Xu Family relied on it to grow stronger.
Once upon a time, the Xu Clan and the Lin Clan were second-rate subsidiary factions of the Yang Clan. They were the closest to the Yang Clan. Unfortunately, after the Lin Clan was found to be a spy for the Xing Clan, they were completely wiped out. The Xu Clan, on the other hand, was safe and sound. However, their arrogance was greatly restrained, for fear of following in the Lin Clan's footsteps.
Heavenly Steel Mountain wasn't far from the Yang Clan City. They were only separated by a city.
This mountain range was not very long, but each mountain was extremely majestic and imposing. The Xu Family was built on the mountain, occupying this paradise to strengthen their foundation.
The Xu Clan didn't have many people, but every one of them was an elite. They had high standards for themselves and had always worked hard to cultivate, striving to produce more powerful people.
They hadn't been attached to the Yang Clan for the longest time, but they had contributed a lot to the Yang Wu Clan. Even the Yang Clan couldn't find any fault with them.
The Xu Clan was growing stronger, and the Yang Clan couldn't stop it. As long as the Xu Clan didn't show any signs of betrayal, the Yang Clan wouldn't do anything to them.
Moreover, the Yang Clan had some foundation, especially when their great-grandmother was still alive and had improved. They didn't even fear the Xing Clan, so why would they fear the slightly stronger Xu Clan?
The Xu Clan was indeed not enough to threaten the Yang Clan, but the Xu Clan had an old ancestor who had reached the Star Rune Realm. This was the Xu Clan's stabilizing force.
Half a year ago, after the Battle of Dragons and Phoenixes began, the Xu Clan had coincidentally obtained a Heavenly Phoenix Jade Tablet. They had originally wanted to hide this information, but somehow, the news had leaked.
Only then did they realize that there were people from the Yang Clan monitoring them, so they could only confess to the Yang Clan. However, they weren't willing to obediently hand over the Heavenly Phoenix Jade Tablet, and the Yang Clan hadn't sent anyone to snatch it away for the time being.
These years, the Yang Clan had been depressed, and the Xu Clan had contributed a lot to the Yang Clan. Moreover, the Yang Clan and the Xu Clan had a marriage alliance. With these relations, the Yang Clan couldn't do anything overboard, so they negotiated with the Xu Clan and were willing to compensate the Xu Clan.
After a series of negotiations, the Xu Clan stated their conditions. They hoped to meet with the Young Clan Head Yang Wu and negotiate face to face.
This was why Yang Wu was sent to the Xu Clan.
The Xu Clan had a Star Rune Realm old ancestor and the famous Xu Clan Five Tigers. They had quite a reputation in the Yang Clan's territory.
On this day, they received news that the Young Clan Head Yang Wu had come to visit the Xu Clan.
With Yang Wu's status, they should be the ones to pay a visit. Now that Yang Wu had personally come, the higher-ups of the Xu Clan panicked and hurriedly called for an elder meeting to discuss.
The Xu Clan Old Ancestor personally oversaw the meeting. The Xu Clan Five Tigers and a few other important elders were all present.
The Xu Clan Old Ancestor didn't look old. He had the appearance of a middle-aged man with vigorous vitality and a lot of room for improvement. His name was Xu Zhilan, and he was sitting high up in the center, looking down at the people below.
The Xu Clan Head was the Xu Clan's First Tiger, named Xu Dahu. He was a robust man with his head bowed, and his eyes were suffused with traces of oppressive radiance. Today, he couldn't sit on the Clan Head's seat, but sat on the first seat at the bottom right.
The Xu Clan's Second Tiger Xu Yinghu, Third Tiger Xu Xionghu, Fourth Tiger Xu Haohu, and Fifth Tiger Xu Jiehu looked very similar. Like Xu Dahu, they all had big bald heads. They were quadruplets.
Xu Dahu was their eldest brother, and was five years older than them.
The Five Tigers were all half-step saints, and they all sat at the very front, showing their extraordinary status.
"Dahu, did you discuss something with the Yang Clan? Why did the Young Clan Head come in person and not the Yang Clan summon us?" The Xu Clan Old Ancestor Xu Zhilan stared at Xu Dahu and said with dissatisfaction.
The Xu Clan seemed to be a bit stronger than the other second-rate powers of the Yang Clan, but compared to the Yang Clan, they were still far from it. When the Yang Clan had something to discuss with them, it was always them who took the initiative to discuss it, and not the Yang Clan sending someone to discuss it. Now that the situation had reversed, they were all incomparably nervous.
The Lin Clan had just been eliminated not long ago, and they didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
"Old Master, I did raise the conditions with the Yang Clan, but I didn't say they should send the Young Clan Head. I was still waiting for them to summon us to discuss it. Who knew that the Yang Clan wouldn't play by the rules, and I don't know what Clan Head Jing Hai is thinking. Could it be that he's angry with us because of the Phoenix Medallion?" Xu Dahu looked like a rough man, but in reality, he was very intelligent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support this family.
"According to what you're saying, the Yang Clan took the initiative to send the Young Clan Head here?" Xu Zhilan asked again.
Xu Dahu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I don't have the guts to call the Young Clan Head here to negotiate. This time, we have a favor to ask of them."
"Then where is the Phoenix Medallion?"
"It's here." Xu Dahu replied, taking out the Heavenly Phoenix Medallion and handing it over to Xu Zhilan.
Xu Zhilan didn't take it, instead saying, "When the Young Clan Head arrives, give it to him as soon as possible. You must not provoke him, and you must take good care of him. I heard that he's only in his early twenties, and is still young and full of vigor. Quickly find a few beautiful girls in the clan, I hope he won't be angry with us." After pausing for a moment, he cursed at Xu Dahu, "You brainless fool, if you really wanted to negotiate with the Yang Clan, you should've waited in the Yang Clan City a long time ago. Why did you rush back to the clan? You're clearly trying to take advantage of them. After all, we're just following behind them for a living. Now you've become bold, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that they'll kick our entire Xu Clan out of anger?"
Second Tiger, Xu Yinghu, spoke up, "Esteemed Elder, the matter isn't that serious, right? The Heavenly Phoenix Medallion is extremely precious. What's the harm in having the Young Clan Head make a trip there?"
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Zhilan slapped him across the face, causing a "pa" sound to ring out. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Do you really think that the Alchemist Alliance's Holy Elders are pushovers? What's more, he's a peak Holy Elder. Even Clan Head Jing Hai would have to take good care of such a person. We're not even fit to carry his shoes, yet you still dare to boast so shamelessly. "Xu Zhilan exploded in anger.
Xu Yinghu was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only cover his face in grievance and lower his head like a child being scolded by an adult.
"Esteemed Elder, please calm down. We're only thinking for your sake, that's why we proposed such a condition." Fifth Tiger, Xu Jiehu, tried to persuade him. He then continued, "If Esteemed Elder can take another step forward, our Xu Clan will be even more stable. Also, isn't our clan's Little Tiger lacking someone to discipline? We've already decided to bet everything on the Yang Clan, so we might as well go all out and get on the Young Clan Head's good side first. "
Third Tiger, Xu Xionghu, added, "Fifth Tiger is right. Esteemed Elder, since things have already reached this point, please don't be angry. Prepare to receive the Young Clan Head."
"Ai, I know that you five brothers all have your own ideas, but this matter is a bit superfluous. If we had handed over the Phoenix Medallion as soon as possible and found another time to visit the Young Clan Head and explain the situation, things would have been much better than now. Now that we're in a passive position, the Yang Clan is our master after all. This time, they'll definitely make things difficult for us. Just bear with it." Xu Zhilan sighed heavily.
If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn't have handled things like this.
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the hall, "Young Clan Head Yang Wu has arrived."
