"Xiao Er, how did you know about the Clan Chief's Jade's existence?!"
Xiao Zhan's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively mobilized the Dou Qi within his body, forming an armor around him.
At the same time, he immediately cast a secret method to sense the situation within a ten-zhang radius, ensuring no outsiders were present.
Even a Dou Huang expert could not escape this secret method, which had been passed down secretly through generations of Clan Chiefs and could only be mastered and cast by dripping Blood on the jade to recognize its master.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became oppressive, at least Xiao Yan felt so.
Taking a deep breath, he said with a smile, "What Clan Chief's Jade? Does our Xiao Family even have such a thing?"
"Yes, it does." Chu Xiao smiled faintly, "Old Ancestor said he wants me to ask Uncle for it, so it must be true."
"Old Ancestor?" Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan were startled, not understanding for a moment.
"Mm." Chu Xiao's powerful Soul Power allowed him to precisely control his expression and tone of voice: "Old Ancestor's name is Xiao Xuan. He was the closest Half-step Dou Di expert to the Dou Di level in the Xiao Clan, possessing an Emperor Realm Soul, three different Heavenly Flames, and was only a little mysterious energy away from breaking through to the Dou Di level."
"Due to the suppression of the heavens and earth, Old Ancestor ultimately failed to Breakthrough, and he also exhausted the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, causing the Xiao Clan's power to greatly diminish. A former enemy named the Soul Clan took advantage of the weakness, and in the end, only the remaining few direct core branches could be dispersed to gain a glimmer of Life Qi."
"Our Xiao Family in the Gama Empire, which controls the jade passed down through generations of Xiao Clan Chiefs, is the most direct lineage."
Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan, father and son: "..."
Are you sure this isn't some made-up story?
Their Xiao Family, whose strongest member was only a Dou Wang ten years ago, could be related to an Emperor Realm Family?
Even saying that their Family once had a Dou Zong felt unbelievable.
As if knowing their thoughts, Chu Xiao proactively explained, "Originally, I didn't believe this either. It sounded even more bizarre than stories in novels."
"When Old Ancestor gave me a dream, I instinctively felt someone was playing a prank, or that I had hysteria. But after my verification, I found that everything was true."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan said with a serious expression, "Xiao Er, what did you verify?"
"Old Ancestor said that the reason he could give me a dream was because a trace of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline in my Bloodline had Awakened, and the distance to the jade was not more than one li. Plus, there was someone from the Ancient Clan beside me, which allowed him to use Bloodline as a link to give me a dream in the Tian Tomb."
"The Tian Tomb is an extremely mysterious place on the Dou Qi Continent. Only those favored by heaven and supreme experts have the chance to be buried there after death, their Souls continuing to exist, but they can never leave. It is currently guarded and controlled by the ancient Emperor Realm Family, the Ancient Clan."
"Xiao Xuan Old Ancestor's strength is powerful, and he has become a supreme expert in the Tian Tomb, which allows him to influence beyond the Tian Tomb and sense Bloodline Power."
What Chu Xiao said sounded so real that it didn't seem fabricated. Xiao Yan immediately turned to look at Xiao Zhan, only to see the latter deep in thought. He suddenly asked, "You said Ancient Clan... Xun Er?"
"Mm." Chu Xiao nodded, "Xun Er is from the Ancient Clan, and there is a Dou Sheng expert behind her."
The Xiao Family father and son: "..."
They both knew that Xun Er's background was unusual, but they only guessed that there was a Dou Zong expert behind her, at most a Dou Zun expert. They never expected it to be an Emperor Realm Family.
"All that information, I have already verified it with Xun Er," Chu Xiao said again.
[Sorry, Xun Er, I'm using your name to trick Uncle.]
[These things, you did tell me later, it's just that you haven't said them yet.]
[Rounding up, it's equivalent to you having already told me.]
All the girls: ?
What does it mean to write such a sentence without beginning or end?
Whose curiosity are you trying to pique!?
"He's really just using it as a notebook, isn't he?" Cao Ying habitually complained.
But for some reason, her heart inexplicably relaxed, and she didn't know why.
"Using my name to trick Uncle?" Xun Er stopped Cultivating, opened her eyes, and put away her hand seals, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame in her eyes receding.
Can a Rebirth person do whatever he wants like this?
She knew everything. This matter was noted in her small notebook, and she would settle accounts later.
"And the most important point." Chu Xiao smiled, "Uncle, you know about the jade, and you do possess the jade. This itself is evidence, isn't it?"
Xiao Zhan had to admit this. He hadn't even told Fang Yi about the jade. The three Elders only knew that the Family had a Legacy item, but the specifics were unknown.
"Wait!" Xiao Yan suddenly discovered a key point and asked, "Cousin, are you saying that only those with a relatively strong Emperor Realm Bloodline can receive dreams from their ancestors?"
Please, you're named Chu, and your Xiao Clan Dou Di Bloodline is stronger than ours, who are named Xiao?
"That's the fact." Chu Xiao shrugged helplessly, "My mother, your aunt, and uncle are siblings. Theoretically, my Bloodline concentration is similar to yours, but I had other fortuitous encounters that caused my Bloodline to undergo an atavistic phenomenon."
"This kind of situation has always existed. If you don't believe me, you can ask your teacher."
As he spoke, Chu Xiao looked at the ring on Xiao Yan's hand.
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted, and he instinctively asked, "Cousin, you know..."
As soon as the question left his mouth, he secretly cursed himself for being foolish. How was this any different from admitting it?
"Emperor Realm Bloodline can indeed become stronger due to other reasons." Yao Lao's Soul flashed out.
"Who are you!?" Xiao Zhan's expression changed drastically, and with a thought, he took out a long spear from his storage ring.
This was Xiao Lin's weapon from back then, which could increase a Great Dou Shi's combat power by about three levels.
"Dad, don't be nervous, this is my teacher." Xiao Yan immediately explained the situation, basically holding nothing back.
Chu Xiao had started it, so today would be a day for full disclosure.
Upon learning that Yao Lao was the culprit behind Xiao Yan's cultivation regression over the past three years, anger inevitably surged in Xiao Zhan's eyes.
But after learning that this was his unconscious action, and that he was an Alchemist of sixth-grade or higher during his lifetime, and had already taken Xiao Yan as his disciple, able to help him Cultivate faster, Xiao Zhan immediately cupped his hands and bowed: "Senior, I leave Yan Er to you. If he does anything wrong, please be lenient."
"If he is incorrigibly mischievous, for the sake of him having served you for three years, it's fine to let him be an ordinary person."
This was pure paternal love, only concerned with his son's safety, and then his future.
Xiao Yan's eyes reddened slightly, and he turned his head away to avoid being seen.
"Xiao Clan Chief, rest assured, I have gotten along very well with Xiao Yanzi these past few days. This old man will certainly Cultivate him into a strong individual." Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled, nodding.
Then, he turned to look at Chu Xiao and asked, "Young friend, you know me, is it also because of that Xiao Family ancestor?"
"Greetings, Senior." Chu Xiao cupped his fists and bowed, "This junior knows you, it was indeed told by the ancestor. He could only sense through my Bloodline that you should be related to an Emperor Realm Family."
Emperor Realm Family!
Yao Lao subconsciously put away his smile, and complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
He was indeed also an Emperor Realm descendant, but this identity brought not glory and benefits, but the root of all suffering.
"I really didn't expect that my humble Xiao Family would have three descendants related to a Dou Di-related Family." Xiao Zhan saw Yao Lao's silence and made a joke.
"Compared to that, Uncle, please hand over the jade to me first." Chu Xiao, however, went straight to the point: "Old Ancestor said that with this jade, he can more easily give me dreams and guide me in Cultivation. He knows that the strongest person in the Xiao Family currently only has the cultivation of a Great Dou Shi, and he is very angry."
Hmm, if Xiao Xuan really knew, he'd probably be truly angry at the Ancient Clan.
But it's okay, Chu Xiao has already abducted the most outstanding young lady of the Ancient Clan's Bloodline.
Xiao Zhan: "..."
