Chapter 577: Bad Things Always Come One After Another
Yao Wan blinked her pale golden eyes, and naturally noticed Xiao Yan's gaze that she didn't know how to describe.
She naturally noticed the flickering look in Xiao Yan's eyes at that moment, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
What, are you afraid now?
She couldn't help but slightly narrowed her pale golden eyes. She snorted silently and at the same time, gently teased Xiao Yan with her eyes. It was like teasing, but also like teasing with a hint of fun, just like a cat teasing its prey. A gleam of light.
There’s no point in being afraid, huh.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. This was the first time he saw Wan'er showing such an expression, with a hint of pride and joking of coming from a wealthy family, but it was not uncomfortable at all. Instead, it made him take a deep breath unconsciously. He breathed, savoring the brilliance and arrogance she accidentally showed at this moment.
The sense of disparity in my heart caused by the hopeless gap between realms disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced only by the endless feelings, like sandalwood under the moonlight, always lingering on the tip of my nose.
Xiao Yan felt grateful countless times that meeting Wan'er was the greatest blessing in his life.
However, he still shook his head. This was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he turned his head and met Xun'er's gaze.
Xun'er's originally slightly wary gaze on Yao Wan suddenly melted away like spring water, and she couldn't help but reveal a smile. As long as brother Xiao Yan is safe, it would be the best.
Xiao Yan's eyes signaled Xun'er to calm down, and then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Xuan, who was smiling and full of satisfaction, slowly walking towards him.
"Lord Ancestor."
Xiao Yan saluted solemnly.
Xiao Xuan smiled happily, with gentle eyes, he helped Xiao Yan up and said: "Well, you did a good job, Xiao Yan. Now, the new bloodline has been integrated in your body... The Xiao clan There is hope for revitalization, and I have waited for many years in vain... However, this time you should be more grateful, and it's not just me..."
Xiao Xuan hesitated to speak, but it was not convenient for him to take the initiative to speak. He just pointed his eyes at Xiao Yan and looked at Yaowan and Xun'er beside the pool.
How could Xiao Yan not understand what his ancestor meant? With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for - but one code is the same, and there is no need for them to distinguish so clearly, especially in front of their elders. Xiao Yan will naturally make up for them well in the future.
"Xiao Yan, now that you have accepted the bloodline inheritance, the new bloodline is still weak and will not completely replace the bloodline in your body. You must not let it go wrong. It will be the key to whether you can reach the imperial realm. ”
Although Xiao Xuan was overjoyed to be greeted by rain after a long drought, he also knew that Xiao Yan was just getting started, and the enemy he needed to face was one of the top beings in the entire continent. Xuan Ye naturally understands the situation of the Xiao clan, so it is difficult to say that he is relieved.
"If you can reach the Imperial Realm, the abandoned bloodlines in the bodies of those Xiao clan members will regain their vitality, and they will be even more powerful than the previous bloodlines!"
"This is truly the only hope to revitalize the Xiao clan!"
Xiao Yan nodded silently and pressed his palms on his chest. Faintly, he could feel the strong beating of his heart, stirring the hot blood and running through the meridians of his body, as if there were dragons and phoenixes. There were dancing and cries in it, causing endless fighting energy to flow and flow from it, rushing endlessly and causing waves of fluctuations.
"Okay, now that the bloodline is complete, the only thing left is the clan pattern..."
As Xiao Xuan said, a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand and was handed to Xiao Yan.
"The final method of cultivating clan patterns is among them. Xiao Yan can cultivate his own nine clan patterns. I will wait for you."
All the behaviors Xiao Yan has shown now are enough to prove that he can entrust all this to him. Because of this, Xiao Xuan is now full of expectations for Xiao Yan.
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Xiao Yan cultivated his own clan pattern.
Since then, another half year has passed.
"Bang!"
During the past six months, from time to time, there was the sound of Xiao Yan carving the clan crest for himself, like the sound of stone hammer carving, melting and forging gold and iron. This was similar to the sound of Yaowan and Xun'er receiving the clan crest. Not the same.
Regarding this, Yao Wan and Xun'er were inevitably a little curious about how magical the Xiao clan's self-cultivated clan patterns were.
At the center of Xiao Yan's eyebrows, the clan pattern no bigger than a fingernail has been separated from its original shape. Under Xiao Yan's training, with a massive amount of terrifying fighting spirit and unparalleled control ability, it was carved on the center of his eyebrows like a knife or an axe. He got his clan crest.
The ancient patterns that have not been revealed to the world for thousands of years contain indescribable holiness and power, and they have echoed endlessly in the past six months.
Until the end, after nine crisp echoes, when the last family line was carved from the center of Xiao Yan's eyebrows, the bloodline of the most powerful ancient race in the past was unmistakable.
A red-gold nine-stroke clan pattern in the center of Xiao Yan's eyebrows revealed divine light, causing a tremor in the Xiao Mansion, as if this lonely world that had been silent for thousands of years was celebrating that the fire of long-cherished wishes for thousands of years was finally ignited again.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that Xiao Yan's clan pattern is actually vaguely colorful if you look closely. However, unlike the seven-color golden clan pattern obtained by Yaowan and Xun'er when they awakened their bloodline, Xiao Yan's color is very colorful. Light, still dominated by red and gold.
The faint seven-color color is more like the colorful glaze left after the fierce fire smelting, just like his seven-color fire now, burning like a raging fire, and then quickly returned to calm under his control.
Xiao Yan's eyes regained clarity, and he turned to look at Xiao Xuan who had always looked at him expectantly.
Xiao Xuan nodded and smiled, everything was self-evident.
Now everything has been settled, so there is no need to worry about anything. In two years, not only has he successfully awakened his bloodline, but he has also successfully cultivated his clan pattern, which can be said to have completely made up for the original gap between himself and the eight clans' geniuses.
However, what Xiao Yan needs to emulate now is naturally not those ancient clan geniuses.
Moreover, with Xiao Yan's current strength, I am afraid that even if the eight clans' geniuses are tied together, they are not enough for him to beat alone.
After knowing his mission, Xiao Yan would no longer limit his vision to the eight clans' geniuses. To revive the Xiao clan, which had been in decline for a thousand years, this step alone was obviously far from enough.
"In this way, the gap between you and the eight clans has been narrowed."
Xiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction. From his perspective, except for Yao Wan, who has now become a semi-saint and achieved the great perfection of the heavenly realm, the younger generation of the eight clans probably has no one who can be an enemy of Xiao Yan.
Although he was happy, Xiao Xuan did not forget what kind of enemy Xiao Yan had to face.
"However, we still have to be more careful about the Soul Clan. I have dealt with them a lot. This race is particularly weird. Even when the Xiao clan was at its peak, it could only keep up with them. Among the eight ancient clans, the Xiao clan had a period of prosperity. At that time, among the eight clans, the Xiao clan was the strongest, the Ancient Clan was second, but the Soul Clan was the weirdest."
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"The Emperor Jade is still in your possession, so the Soul Clan will certainly not let you go. Be careful after you leave this time."
"Well... Xiao Yan understands."
Xiao Yan naturally knew this, and at the same time, Yao Wan couldn't help but take the opportunity to speak: "By the way, Senior Xiao Xuan, I have two things I want to talk to Senior Xiao Xuan about."
"Oh? Wan'er, is there anything you don't understand about the Soul Realm?"
Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled softly. He was naturally very patient with this future daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
Moreover, her talent was no less than Xiao Yan's, and she was even better than Xiao Yan in the study of techniques and the Soul Realm. With her by his side, Xiao Yan certainly benefited a lot.
"Have you heard of the Soul Devouring Clan, Senior Xiao Xuan?"
"Soul Devouring Clan?"
Hearing Yao Wan mention this rather unfamiliar term, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly, and then shook his head.
"I can only say that I have heard of it. The ancient Soul Devouring Clan is quite strange, and can devour everything and transform it into its own use."
"But didn't such a race die out long ago?"
Xiao Xuan's answer made Yao Wan frown slightly. The answer of the chief of the Xiao Clan, the strongest of the eight clans a thousand years ago, also made Yao Wan immediately realize that the Soul Devouring Clan a thousand years ago seemed to be in a dormant state. The only record at present is that the Soul Devouring Half Saint invaded the border of Zhongzhou a thousand years ago and was killed by Yun Potian.
"What's wrong with the Soul Devouring Clan? What's the problem?"
Xiao Xuan immediately noticed something wrong and couldn't help asking.
Yao Wan and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and Xiao Yan immediately relayed to Xiao Xuan the previous experience of the Northwest Continent and the conflict between them and the Soul Devouring Clan.
"I didn't expect that there is such a big threat in the Douqi Continent."
Xiao Xuan frowned and immediately realized that the Soul Devouring Clan was not simple: "There may be Dou Sheng-level strongmen behind this Soul Devouring Clan, and their strength is not inferior to many strongmen in the eight clans."
Xiao Xuan's meaning also made Xun'er frown slightly. The strength that Xiao Xuan took seriously should be at the level of the ancient clan. Xun'er knew the strength of the ancient clan very well. Let's not talk about the Soul Clan for now. Now there is a Soul Devouring Clan...
In response, Xiao Yan and Yao Wan also nodded gently. As old acquaintances on the battlefield, they knew very well that what force could throw out Dou Zun-level combat power for free?
In their impression, who else could it be except the Soul Clan?
But the two forces are probably still somewhat connected, and bad things really come one after another.
