Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 71 Brother-in-law

"Brother, you can't kill him. 💛🐜 6➈𝔰hⓊⓍ.ᑕ𝐨ⓜ 💋♟" Seeing Yao Tian like this, Yao Ling couldn't help but say.

"???" Yao Tian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Have you developed feelings for him?"

"No." Yao Ling blushed slightly and thought for a long time before saying, "He is the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan, and not just any ordinary one, but one protected by two Half-Saint level experts."

"Two demigods are protecting him??" Even with Yao Tian's experience, he was somewhat surprised.

Even though I am the young patriarch of the Medicine Clan, I didn't have a semi-saint level expert protecting me when I went out to train back then.

"It's alright, it must be that the Xiao clan is too wealthy." Yao Tian sighed, having sobered up from his rage.

No matter how powerful and wealthy the Xiao Clan is, the fact that they were able to send two half-saints to protect him shows that the guy named Xiao Yan is definitely valued by the Xiao Clan.

If I were to kill it by force, it would indeed bring endless trouble.

However, seeing his sister's slightly haggard appearance, his face fell.

If your precious little sister was taken by some beast after just one trip, anyone would be furious.

"I won't kill him," Yao Tian said, taking a deep breath. "However, while he may escape death, he won't escape punishment. Once we get out, I'll make this brat pay the price."

Yao Ling nodded, a rare smile appearing on her usually cold and beautiful face. Her two pretty eyes curved into crescents as she clung tightly to Yao Tian's arm.

"My older brother loves me the most."

Although she no longer harbors the hatred she once felt for Xiao Yan, she still holds a grudge. Naturally, she would be happy to see Xiao Yan suffer misfortune and embarrassment.

"Sigh." Seeing her like this, Yao Tian's heart couldn't help but clench again, and he tenderly patted his sister's head.

"That damned holy son of the Xiao clan, I'll break all three of his legs!"

Yao Tian secretly hardened his heart.

The Xuandi City of the Xiao Clan is much farther from the fertile plains than the Yao Clan's. Even with Xiao Wen's strength as a half-saint, it would take him a full day to travel back to the Xiao Clan.

The clan chief's hall is located in the center of Xiao territory, and it is magnificent and hundreds of feet high.

As the most powerful ancient clan on the continent, the patriarch of the Xiao clan is undoubtedly of the highest status, not to mention that his strength has already reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Sheng level.

If the patriarch of the ancient clans doesn't take action, the patriarch of the Xiao clan alone is enough to crush the patriarchs of the other five clans. This is the power of the Xiao clan.

"Xiao Wen, what brings you here?" As Xiao Wen entered the clan leader's hall, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged at the entrance, closing his eyes to rest.

"Brother Xiao Zhen." Xiao Wen bowed slightly to the old man.

Xiao Zhen was one of the top three geniuses in the entire Xiao Clan of his generation. He was now a two-star Dou Sheng, but on the surface, he was just guarding the gate for the clan leader and doing some odd jobs.

But everyone understands that he is already considered a member of the clan leader's lineage. When Xiao Zhen becomes a five-star Dou Sheng in the future, he will become a key figure under the clan leader and a true power figure in the Xiao clan.

In contrast, he and his brother Xiao Wu were barely considered to be among the top ten of their generation back then.

Now, a century has passed in the blink of an eye, and among his contemporaries, there are only two or three who have truly achieved sainthood.

Even with the Xiao Clan's strength, only a handful of seven or eight people have been able to cross that barrier at the pinnacle of the continent in the past hundred years.

After suppressing his emotions, Xiao Wen said in a deep voice, "Brother, I have urgent business to discuss with the clan leader."

"You want to see the clan leader?" Xiao Zhen finally opened his eyes, which had been closed, and frowned slightly as he looked at Xiao Wen.

"Chieftain, you can't just see me whenever you want. What's the urgent matter?"

The clan leader is extremely busy and his time is very precious. It is not common for a half-saint to want to have a private chat with the clan leader.

"I am acting on His Highness the Emperor's orders to deliver this item to the clan chief." After a moment's thought, Xiao Wen handed a jade slip to Xiao Zhen.

"His Highness the Emperor's decree?" Xiao Zhen glanced at Xiao Wen thoughtfully.

I heard that the young imperial prince was summoned by the clan ancestor at the age of fifteen and then made imperial prince.

This shows that even the clan's ancestor valued this young man highly.

In the Xiao clan, the status of the imperial son is almost equal to that of the clan leader. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhen accepted the jade slip.

"I will give this to the clan chief, but whether the clan chief will see you or not, I don't know."

"Thank you, cousin!" Xiao Wen nodded.

Xiao Zhen didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Wen stayed where he was and waited quietly.

Just moments later, he felt a terrifying fluctuation appear in the sky above the patriarch's hall. It was a soul fluctuation that made him want to worship.

The next moment, the space in front of him trembled, and a young man dressed in a purple and gold robe appeared in front of him.

The young man was handsome and dashing, yet his face carried a hint of authority due to his long-held high position.

It is none other than Xiao Shaobei, the current patriarch of the Xiao clan!

A truly great figure whose every stomp could shake the entire continent, yet at this moment, the usually awe-inspiring clan leader showed a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Clan Chief!" Xiao Wen was about to kneel on one knee when a large hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Where is Langbi now? Where is he?" Xiao Wen and Xiao Zhen had lived for so many years, and this was the first time they had ever seen their clan leader so anxious.

"Who is Langbi?" Xiao Wen was slightly confused, but he suddenly realized what was going on when he saw the clan leader's eyes.

"Is the Langbi mentioned by the clan leader referring to the Yin-Yang Evil Saint?"

"Yes, it's him!"

Xiao Shaobei nodded slightly, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Where is he now!"

"In the Fertile Plains!" Before Xiao Wen could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the shoulder and pulled into the spatial passage.

"take me!"

"I never imagined you were such a remarkable person back then, daring to even beat up the son of the Stone Clan Chief!" Outside the ancient city, Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu squatted on the ground, chatting and joking while eating melon seeds.

The two of them looked exactly like two street thugs, but Xiao Wu clearly preferred Xiao Yan's appearance.

He was a military general, not good with words, and his actions were somewhat crude and barbaric, completely different from his brother Xiao Wen.

However, Xiao Yan, the young master, was not a good person either, which pleased Xiao Wu quite a bit.

"That kid is just relying on his father, a six-star Dou Sheng clan elder. He can act arrogantly in front of other forces with that kind of background, but what does that mean to our Xiao clan?"

Xiao Wu chuckled.

"A six-star Dou Sheng is just barely qualified to enter the Elder Council in our Xiao Clan. They don't even dare to speak loudly in front of our clan leader."

As the two were chatting, they noticed a fluctuation in the space, and a tall, upright figure quietly appeared.

"Is this the clan leader?" Xiao Yan glanced at the young man in front of him.

However, when he saw the mark of an eighth-grade alchemist painted on the young man's brocade robe, he vaguely realized something.

After Yao Tian appeared, he first glanced at the black mist shrouded in energy shield at his feet, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The black mist actually made him feel a sense of danger.

His gaze swept across the ground again, and he saw an old man and a boy squatting on the ground eating sunflower seeds.

"Seven-Star Dou Huang? Half-Saint?" Yao Tian's pupils contracted as his immense soul power swept over the area.

A fifteen-year-old Seven-Star Dou Huang, his talent is probably even slightly better than mine was back then. No wonder he has a half-saint level protector by his side.

However, this saves him the trouble of looking for someone. There are very few people on the entire continent who can reach this level at this age.

With a swift movement, he appeared not far in front of Xiao Yan, who and Xiao Wu had already slowly stood up.

"You are Xiao Yan?" Yao Tian stared at the young man in front of him.

"I am Yao Ling's older brother, Yao Tian!"

Yao Tian's voice was icy, but he noticed that the boy in front of him suddenly stood up straight, puffed out his chest, and shouted loudly.

"Brother-in-law!"
