Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 872 Xiao Xuan: Transfer the child to my name!

The interior of the Heavenly Tomb.

Hearing the faint roar of fury that came from the closing of the Heavenly Tomb Gate, Xiao Yan didn't take it to heart at all; instead, he showed a look of joy.

"The power of this clan mark is indeed extraordinary."

He clenched his fists, sensing the fluctuations that were completely different from before. He felt a familiar yet strange sensation welling up in his heart.

That was the fluctuation of the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations!

At this very moment, Xiao Yan's control over the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame had reached a level no less than that of its creator, Xiao Xuan, achieving true perfection.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan, who had been hiding in the Heavenly Tomb, also appeared in the sky, his expression showing a hint of complexity.

"Without relying on the power of bloodline, he successfully cultivated his own Xiao clan divine ability simply by comprehending a divine thought left behind by Emperor Xiao in the past."

Xiao Xuan sighed softly, a rare hint of resignation in his voice: "This kid, just as his girlfriend said, has truly blazed a completely new path."

He could see that the other party's essence had undergone an almost dimensional improvement.

If Xiao Yan previously competed with the other eight clans' prodigies solely based on his passion and hard work, then now he can be said to be completely on the same starting line as the other eight clans' prodigies.

Even worse!

In terms of talent, he mastered the Xiao clan's supernatural abilities without needing any bloodline. In terms of temperament, having fought his way up from humble beginnings, he is far more resilient than any flower cultivated in a greenhouse.

And the most crucial point is that behind Xiao Yan stands the Soul Clan, one of the two strongest clans on the continent!
In this situation, Xiao Yan could be said to have completely and flawlessly crushed all the geniuses of Zhongzhou, reaching a terrifying level of overwhelming power, just like Hun Ruoruo.

Even putting himself in the other's shoes, Xiao Xuan couldn't think of anyone who could stop the other's rise.

Could it be that.
Is it really settled this time?

As this exciting idea entered his mind, Xiao Xuan's non-existent heart began to pound uncontrollably.

If he hadn't been so distrustful of the old scoundrel Hun Tiandi's character, he probably would have gone all in with even that last piece of divine bloodline!
"No, that's not right!"

Suddenly, Xiao Xuan frowned, realizing the gravity of the situation.

"That girl inherited the mantle of the Soul Emperor. Once she cultivates to the extreme, she will be like the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, without desire or emotion."

"Can the laws of nature still reproduce?"

Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Xuan's thoughts had drifted to some inexplicable place.

Actually, you can't blame him. Thousands of years of loneliness and long waiting had driven this once mighty ruler to the brink of madness, though it wasn't usually apparent.

Now that he has finally seen a glimmer of hope, he naturally cannot sit idly by and watch it perish.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan raised his hand and waved it, blowing the Soul Clan members away to who-knows-where as if shooing away flies, and then they came to Xiao Yan's side.

"what!!!"

Soul Jade, who had just enjoyed the ride on Xiao Yan's coattails, was suddenly sent flying into the air. He only had time to let out a mournful scream before disappearing without a trace.

"Uh"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes were strange. He didn't dare to be negligent and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Junior Xiao Yan greets Ancestor."

Xiao Xuan did not answer, but stared intently at him. After a moment of deliberation, he slowly said, "How about sending your first child to be raised in my Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Yan: "???"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

He stared in disbelief, stammering, "Ancestor, what is this...?"

Xiao Xuan sighed softly, "You know my situation, old man. I've been waiting in this Heavenly Tomb for six thousand years, and I'm already tired of living."

"Now that I have seen your achievements, I am already satisfied. Even if I wanted to teach you, I am destined not to be able to help you much. If it were not for the purpose of passing on this bloodline, I would probably have already disintegrated and disappeared into the world."

At this point, Xiao Xuan's face showed obvious signs of fatigue, filled with both sighs and relief.

However, faced with his ancestor's sudden display of misery, Xiao Yan was unusually wary. "Old man?"

How could someone who can claim that even a Dou Sheng (a high-ranking official) is not qualified to meet him refer to himself as "this old man"?

That old man definitely didn't have any good intentions!
Xiao Yan already had some understanding of his ancestor's true nature, so he was unlikely to be foolish enough to be deceived again.

His expression turned solemn, and he clasped his hands in a salute, saying, "Senior, rest assured. Although you are no longer the patriarch of my Xiao clan, as the new patriarch, I will certainly respect your will."

"Since our ancestor has no more attachment to this world, you may depart in peace."

After saying this, Xiao Yan seemed to have made a great decision and lowered his head heavily.

Xiao Xuan: "."

Seeing Xiao Yan's righteous and stern demeanor, Xiao Xuan's lips twitched, and even his dignified image as a senior was hard to maintain.

That little brat, I really wish he would die soon!
"You, you brat, aren't you going to try and stop me?"

"The wishes of our ancestors are naturally not to be disturbed, nor do we wish to disturb them."

"Hey! That Xiao Clan divine item is the only one of its kind left in the world. If you won't let me guard it, are you planning to give it to the Soul Clan for free?"

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will not take a single cent of that divine bloodline. Even if it is handed over to Patriarch Gu Yuan, I will have no objection."

"you--"

Xiao Xuan was furious and embarrassed. He glared and cursed, "You little brat, all I wanted was for your son to keep this lonely old man company and inherit my mantle. Look at your stingy behavior!"

"So you finally admit you were going to steal the child?"

Xiao Yan laughed in anger, "Let alone the fact that Ruoruo and I are not married yet, even if we really had children, your behavior is still considered child trafficking. In our Wutan City, you would have your legs broken by all the neighbors!"

He originally thought that by breaking free from Emperor Xiao's shackles and embarking on a new path, he would earn praise from Xiao Xuan, or at the very least, some words of appreciation.

But who would have thought that this old man had already set his sights on the child?
These old guys who have lived for thousands of years are all extremely shrewd old foxes!
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Xiao Xuan looked sullen, but still refused to give up and said, "Hmph, I have shed blood for the Xiao clan and done my part for them. What's wrong with wanting a child to keep me company?"

"If I had known about your existence, you little monster, earlier, I would have snatched you away even if your old man had been watching!"

"Old man, you—"

Xiao Yan's forehead was covered in black lines, feeling that all the good impressions he had of his ancestor had been completely shattered at this moment.

"What do you mean, 'you'? There's an old saying that goes, 'At seventy, one can follow one's heart's desires without transgressing the rules.' I'm six thousand five hundred and sixteen years old this year. Who can tell me what to do?"

Xiao Xuan wasn't ashamed at all and shamelessly said, "Alright, it's settled then."

After uttering those words, before Xiao Yan could react, Xiao Xuan had already ascended to the heavens, his figure like a giant, suddenly magnified countless times in that moment.

"That's... Senior Xiao Xuan?!"

"Is he finally going to settle his score with the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb?"

Upon seeing the enormous figure that pierced the clouds and reached the sky, the fleeing energy beings were overjoyed and cheered as if they had found a savior.

However, just as everyone was expecting Xiao Xuan to actually make a move, the giant suddenly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Soul Emperor, you should have heard what I just said, right?"

"The Soul Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the energy beings present were immediately bewildered.

Soul Emperor, isn't that the name of the current clan leader?
Why would Senior Xiao Xuan mention someone else at a time like this?
However, just as everyone was puzzled, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the swirling snowflakes in the sky—

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Xiao Xuan chuckled and said, "Old thief, don't think I don't know. That girl may seem to have inherited the mantle of the Soul Emperor, but in reality, she still has your shadow in her."

"Now that your legacy has been passed down, it should be reasonable for me to have a young child as my successor, shouldn't it?"

"what?"
