Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 106 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!

The old apothecary was slightly taken aback, then smiled bitterly and said, "I became an enemy of the Soul Palace because the Soul Palace forced me to, because they wanted my soul!"

"But you are different. You don't seem to have much hatred for the Soul Palace, yet you actively became its enemy?" Yao Lao asked with some doubt.

Gah chuckled and said, "I hate the Soul Palace, that's all!"

The old doctor smiled and said, "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple!" Gahe nodded.

The old apothecary then said, "I don't particularly like the Soul Palace either; at least we agree on this point!"

"I know what you want to do with my disciple. I won't interfere with his decision, as long as you can persuade him."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Jia He smiled and said, "Wanting him to join the Imperial Prison is one thing, but wanting you to join the Imperial Prison is another idea of ​​mine."

"Me?" The old doctor was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, the old doctor shook his head and chuckled, "Forget it, I'm too old for this, I won't join in the fun here!"

Jiahe asked, "Isn't Elder Yao afraid that the Soul Palace will come looking for you again?"

The old physician smiled and said, "The Soul Palace won't pay too much attention to the Northwest Continent. Most of the guardians they send are probably only human-level guardians. I have my own ways of dealing with them!"

"Furthermore, I don't believe my whereabouts have been exposed. You should have dealt with most of the Soul Hall members in the Northwest Continent, so I shouldn't have to worry before heading to the Central Continent!"

Upon hearing the old man's analysis, Jiahe nodded in agreement.

However, Jiahe immediately smiled and said, "The Soul Hall may not value Elder Yao too much, but they value you, their disciple, and rather, the entire Xiao family very much!"

"Once the Soul Hall discovers the existence of the Xiao family and finds what they want, it will be a catastrophe for the Xiao family. At that time, will Elder Yao be able to remain unscathed?" Jiahe said, looking at Elder Yao.

Both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

Xiao Yan then asked, "What does this have to do with my Xiao family?"

Jiahe chuckled and said, "Of course it's related to your Xiao family, but I suppose you're not aware of some of the details. I can tell you about it so you can decide whether or not to join the Imperial Prison!"

"The Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, the last Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao should both know about him."

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao both nodded slightly.

This Dou Di has always been a legendary figure on the continent.

Gah continued, "And after Tuoshegudi disappeared, he left behind a piece of Tuoshegudi jade."

The old doctor nodded and said, "This matter is indeed true, but that whole piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was later broken into eight pieces by some powerful figures!"

Jiahe said, "That's right, this piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight parts, and these eight fragments of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade were shared among the eight ancient tribes, with each tribe receiving one fragment!"

"And a whole piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is said to be the key to opening the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave."

Xiao Yan frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with our Xiao family?"

Xiao Yan always felt a sense of conspiracy approaching, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Jiahe chuckled and said, "The eight ancient clans are the Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan, the Medicine Clan, the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Xiao Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's body trembled, and Yao Lao's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Xiao Yan.

The old apothecary wasn't very clear about the Xiao clan either, since the Xiao clan had been gone for so long that many people had forgotten about this ancient family.

"Could this Xiao family be the Xiao clan from back then?" Elder Yao asked Jiahe.

Xiao Yan stood there dumbfounded, saying, "How is this possible? Even if the eight ancient clans were weak, they couldn't possibly have a clan leader who is only at the Great Dou Master level, could they?"

Jiahe laughed and said, "Of course not. It's just that the current Xiao family is only a branch of the once-prosperous Xiao clan. Later, the entire Xiao clan gradually withered away, leaving only your branch of the Xiao family bloodline!"

Even the old master Yao never expected that the disciple he had taken in would have such a great background.

"You mean the people from the Soul Palace are looking for the Xiao family because they want to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?" Yao Lao finally understood.

Jiahe said, "That's right, what the Soul Palace wants is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao family. However, the Xiao family has been declining for too long, and its members have long been scattered throughout the continent. The Soul Palace can only investigate one place at a time!"

"Actually, it's not just the people from the Soul Palace who want the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao family. Xiao Xun'er, no, she should be called Gu Xun'er, came to the Xiao family for the same reason!" Jiahe said, looking at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's face paled slightly, and he frowned, saying, "How is that possible? Wait, you just said Gu Xun'er?"

"Could she be one of the eight clans you just mentioned, the Ancient Clan?" Xiao Yan realized something.

Jiahe said, "You're not completely stupid. Gu Xun'er is the daughter of the Gu clan's patriarch. You were lucky; you stumbled into this little girl's heart and secured a certain place for yourself!"

"Hahaha, it's unimaginable how sour the faces of those ancient clans would be if they knew that their supreme goddess had been taken by a down-on-his-luck boy from the Xiao family. They would truly have lost both their wife and their army."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face darkened immediately. He said, "I haven't taken her body yet, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, but that's about right. Didn't you grope all those little girls when you were a kid?" Jiahe suddenly said.

Xiao Yan's face flushed red instantly, and he looked at Jia He as if he had seen a ghost, asking, "How did you know?"

Gah pointed to his eyes and said, "These eyes of mine can see into a person's soul. As long as you meet my gaze, nothing can escape my notice!"

Xiao Yan quickly looked away, while Yao Lao silently lowered his head.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to business. Although the Soul Palace has temporarily left the Northwest Continent, its ambitions will not be abandoned, because the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is still with your Xiao family."

"So one day, the Xiao family will be targeted by the Soul Hall, and then the Xiao family will be in big trouble. If they also discover that Yao Lao is in your body, guess what the Soul Hall will do?" Jiahe said.

The old apothecary sighed softly and said, "The Soul Palace will definitely go all out against the Xiao family. According to your statement, the Soul Palace should truly be determined to fight to the death over this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"

Xiao Yan's expression turned somewhat grim. From the tone of his teacher's extreme fear of the Soul Palace, he knew that the Soul Palace was not easy to deal with.

"Will joining the Imperial Prison guarantee the safety of my Xiao family?" Xiao Yan looked up at Jia He and asked.

"Everyone needs a backer, right? The fact that the Soul Hall hasn't completely run rampant on the continent means they still have people they're wary of, which gives us time."

"During this time, you need to become stronger. The stronger the overall strength of the Imperial Prison, the safer your Xiao family will be. I can guarantee that the Xiao family will be absolutely safe as long as the Soul Palace does not send out a Dou Zun expert!" Jiahe said slowly to Xiao Yan.

The old apothecary frowned and said, "But you said that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight pieces, with the Soul Palace keeping one piece. What use is it for them to be eyeing the Xiao family's piece?"
