Chapter 679 The Fat Xiao Family

The Xiao family, a family with a thousand-year heritage and profound cultural heritage, stands at the core of this continent. The surrounding scenery is like a microcosm of the world, which together set off the trembling sense of oppression of the Xiao family.

Looking far in the direction of the Xiao family, the first thing that comes into view is a towering mountain. This mountain is not an ordinary mountain. Its body is made up of a strange huge stone pile with an ancient luster. Each stone is engraved with traces of time and mysterious runes. These runes flash a faint but not negligible light under the sunlight, as if telling the ancient and glorious history of the Xiao family. The top of the giant mountain is submerged in the clouds. In the mist, a magnificent palace can be seen faintly. That is the ancestral temple of the Xiao family, which enshrines the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the Xiao family and is also the source of the family's power. The architectural style of the ancestral temple is solemn and dignified. On the eaves and arches, there are lifelike beasts carved. They are either baring their teeth and claws, or looking up to the sky and howling, as if they are guarding the glory of the Xiao family. The eyes of each beast seem to contain endless majesty, which makes people dare not look directly at it.

Under the giant mountain is a vast plain. On the plain, there are crisscrossing fields and thousands of acres of fertile fields. Every inch of land here is carefully taken care of by the Xiao family. Various strange spiritual plants grow in the fertile soil. These spiritual plants are not only one of the sources of the Xiao family's wealth, but also a symbol of the family's strength. Some spiritual plants emit colorful light and contain powerful spiritual power. Just a slight smell can make people refreshed and increase their skills; some spiritual plants are strange in shape, or like a winding dragon, or like a phoenix spreading its wings. They are rooted in this land, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and are closely linked to the fate of the Xiao family. At the edge of the plain, there is a long river that keeps running. The water is clear and yet contains endless power. From time to time, spirit fish jump out of the water. These spirit fish are crystal clear and have mysterious runes on their bodies. They are the elves in the river and the witnesses of the Xiao family's protection of this land. The sound of the long river is deafening, as if announcing to the world the majesty and inviolability of the Xiao family.

Surrounding the Xiao family mansion is a dense forest. This forest is different from ordinary woods. It is sealed by the Xiao family with powerful spiritual power and has become a natural barrier. The trees in the forest are tall and towering, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky. Each tree has its own consciousness. They are the guardians of the Xiao family. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they will immediately sound the alarm and cast various strange spells to attack the enemy. Various powerful monsters also live in the forest. Most of these monsters have signed contracts with the Xiao family and become vassals of the Xiao family. They usually practice in the forest. Once the Xiao family is in trouble, they will come out in full force to fight for the Xiao family. The roars of the monsters echoed in the forest, which made people shudder, as if reminding people at all times that the Xiao family's territory cannot be invaded by anyone.

Above the Xiao family's mansion, there is a mysterious nebula suspended. This nebula is composed of countless shining stars, which are arranged in various strange patterns, sometimes changing, sometimes flashing, as if interpreting the mysteries of the universe. In the nebula, the secret weapon of the Xiao family is hidden - the star battleship. These battleships were built by the ancestors of the Xiao family with countless efforts. They are powered by the power of the stars and have the power to destroy the world. The surface of each battleship is engraved with complex rune formations, which can not only enhance the defense of the battleship, but also release various powerful attack spells. When the Star Battleship is activated, the entire nebula will be shaken, and the powerful energy fluctuations will spread to the entire continent, allowing all living beings to feel the terrifying power of the Xiao family.

Entering the Xiao family mansion, the oppressive feeling that comes over you is even more breathless. The gate of the mansion is made of a huge piece of black iron, engraved with the Xiao family's family emblem and various mysterious runes. On both sides of the gate, there stands a tall and mighty guard, wearing black armor, with a pair of cold and sharp eyes under the helmet. The long spear in the guard's hand flashes with cold light, as if announcing to everyone who enters the mansion that this is the territory of the Xiao family and no offense is allowed.

Entering the mansion, the first thing you see is a spacious square. The ground of the square is paved with a kind of jade that emits a faint blue light. The gaps between the jade are tightly closed, as if it is a whole huge stone slab. In the center of the square stands a huge statue, the protagonist of the statue is the first generation ancestor of the Xiao family. He was dressed in a gorgeous robe, holding a long sword, and his eyes revealed endless majesty and confidence. The statue was surrounded by a circle of blazing flames. These flames were not ordinary flames, but spiritual flames condensed by the ancestors of the Xiao family with powerful spiritual power. When the spiritual flames burned, they made bursts of whistling sounds, as if telling the heroic deeds of the ancestors of the Xiao family, which made people feel awe.

Behind the square is a magnificent main hall. The architectural style of the main hall is solemn and elegant. The glazed tiles on the roof of the hall sparkle with colorful light under the sunlight. The door of the main hall is open, and the scene inside the hall can be seen from the outside. The floor of the hall is covered with a thick red carpet, which is embroidered with various golden patterns, making it look particularly luxurious. On the walls of the hall, there are portraits of the ancestors of the Xiao family. Their eyes reveal an innate pride and majesty that makes people dare not look directly at them. In the center of the main hall, there is a huge chair. The chair is made of a black stone that exudes a mysterious atmosphere and is inlaid with various precious gems. This chair is the throne of the heads of the Xiao family for generations, symbolizing the highest power of the family. When the family holds a major ceremony, the head of the family will sit on the throne and accept the worship of family members. At that moment, the entire main hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere, which made people feel the unparalleled oppression of the Xiao family.

Deep in the Xiao family mansion, there is a mysterious forbidden area. The forbidden area is surrounded by a powerful spiritual barrier, and no one can easily enter. It is said that the most powerful secrets and powers of the Xiao family are hidden in the forbidden area, and only the core members of the family are qualified to know. In the forbidden area, various strange sounds are often heard, sometimes low roars, sometimes sharp whistles, which make people feel terrified. These sounds seem to come from another world, and they always remind people that the Xiao family's background is unfathomable, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Outside the Xiao family's huge territory like a kingdom of gods, in a chaotic void, the space suddenly ripples strangely, like a calm lake surface thrown into a boulder, and circles of invisible waves spread around. In the center of the ripples, a figure slowly emerged, it was Li Yang. He was wearing a shabby black robe, and the hood covered his face deeply, revealing only a pair of eyes, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, full of vigilance and greed.

Li Yang looked up in the direction of the Xiao family, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Xiao family was surrounded by thousands of worlds. A towering mountain was like a pillar supporting the sky. The mountain was made of huge stones engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and powerful atmosphere. The ancestral temple on the top of the mountain was looming in the clouds, and the carvings of the mythical beasts on the eaves and brackets were lifelike, as if they would come alive in the next second to guard this sacred place. Under the giant mountain, the vast plains were crisscrossed with paths, and the spiritual plants shone with colorful light, emitting attractive spiritual power fluctuations. The long river was rushing, and the river water contained endless power. Spirit fish jumped out of the water from time to time, bringing with them the light of mysterious runes. Further away, the dense forest was sealed by powerful spiritual power, the trees were tall and towering, and the roar of monsters could be heard faintly between the branches and leaves. Above the Xiao family mansion, a mysterious nebula was suspended, with stars twinkling and forming strange patterns. In the nebula, the star warship was looming. It was the secret weapon of the Xiao family that could destroy the world.

"The cause of the future is the result of today. The Xiao family is indeed profound, but today is your unlucky day."

Li Yang murmured in a low voice, and an invisible spiritual shield quietly enveloped his body. This shield was not for strong attack, but to hide the breath as much as possible. His footsteps were light and slow, and every step seemed to be stepping on the clouds, without making any sound. When approaching the forbidden forest, Li Yang felt a strong repulsive force. The trees in the forest seemed to have life, and the branches and leaves began to tremble slightly, as if warning him.

Li Yang was not panicked. He took out a black bead from his arms, and the surface of the bead was engraved with strange runes. He threw the bead gently, and after the bead rotated a few times in the air, a black smoke suddenly burst out, enveloping Li Yang. This smoke is a concealment magic weapon that he spent several years refining, which is specially used to break through various forbidden barriers. Under the cover of the smoke, Li Yang successfully passed through the forest and entered the Xiao family's territory.

After entering the territory, Li Yang did not rush to act, but lurked in a hidden corner, observing the movements around him. He found that the guards of the Xiao family patrolled very closely, and every once in a while, a team of guards would pass by his hiding place. These guards all had a strong breath and sharp eyes, and they were obviously masters who had undergone rigorous training.

After waiting for a long time, finally waiting for the gap between the guards' patrols, Li Yang, like an agile cheetah, quickly ran towards the depths of the Xiao family's mansion. Relying on the intelligence he had collected in advance, he sneaked towards a "small world" that was considered confidential by the Xiao family. This small world is an independent space opened up by the ancestors of the Xiao family using powerful spiritual power. It contains a large amount of cultivation resources and is an important place for the Xiao family to train their children.

Along the way, Li Yang avoided many mechanisms and traps and finally came to the entrance of the small world. At the entrance, a spiritual barrier emitting colorful light blocked his way. Li Yang carefully observed the barrier and found that it was engraved with complex rune formations. These rune formations intertwined with each other to form an indestructible defense.

Li Yang took a deep breath and took out an ancient book from his arms. There were several mysterious runes engraved on the cover of the book. He opened the book and began to recite the spell on it. As the spell was recited, Li Yang's hands began to form strange hand seals, and black spiritual power surged from his hands and collided with the colorful spiritual barrier. For a time, the light flickered, the spiritual power overflowed, and Li Yang's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that once the Xiao family discovered this, he would be unable to escape.

After some hard work, a crack finally appeared in the colorful spiritual barrier. Li Yang was delighted when he saw this and increased the output of spiritual power. With a crisp sound of "click", the spiritual barrier was finally successfully broken by him. Li Yang had no time to rest and quickly got into the small world.

After entering the small world, Li Yang was stunned by the scene in front of him. In the whole small world, the spiritual crystal veins were crisscrossed, and the spiritual crystals emitted dazzling light, illuminating the entire space like daylight. The air was filled with rich spiritual power, as if you could grab a handful with your hand. Between the spiritual crystal veins, various rare spiritual plants grew. Some of these spiritual plants were several feet high, and some were small and exquisite, but without exception, they all emitted powerful spiritual power fluctuations.

Li Yang could no longer suppress his greed. He quickly took out the storage magic weapon he had prepared in advance and began to collect spiritual crystals and spiritual plants frantically. He dug up the spiritual crystals one by one, stuffed them into the storage magic weapon, and pulled up the spiritual plants by the roots and threw them in. As the storage magic weapon was gradually filled, Li Yang's face showed a satisfied smile.

However, Li Yang did not realize that his every move had been monitored by a mysterious existence in the small world. This mysterious existence was hidden in the depths of the small world, and its figure was looming, like a cloud of fog, making it elusive. When Li Yang's greed reached its peak, the mysterious existence finally moved.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the small world, and countless sharp spiritual blades were mixed in the wind, whistling towards Li Yang. Li Yang's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly operated his spiritual power to form a defensive shield. The spiritual blade hit the shield, making a "ding-dong" sound and splashing sparks.

"Who is it? Come out!" Li Yang roared loudly, his voice echoing in the small world, but he did not get any response. The gust of wind became more and more violent, and the spiritual blades became more and more dense, and cracks gradually appeared in Li Yang's defensive shield.

Just when Li Yang felt desperate, he suddenly thought of a way. He quickly took out a spiritual crystal from the storage magic weapon, crushed it, and then injected the spiritual power in the spiritual crystal into his body. With the injection of spiritual power, Li Yang's strength instantly increased a lot, and his defensive shield became stronger.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Li Yang took advantage of the gap between the mysterious existence's attacks and quickly ran towards the exit of the small world. He knew that he had been exposed and must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. In the process of running wildly, Li Yang constantly cast various spells to try to stop the pursuit of the mysterious existence.

Finally, Li Yang saw the exit of the small world. He rushed out desperately, but what was waiting for him was a group of Xiao family masters who were waiting in a battle array. It turned out that the moment he entered the small world, the Xiao family had already noticed something strange, and they quickly mobilized masters and set up an ambush at the exit of the small world.

"Humph, kid, do you think you can escape?" A Xiao family master who was in the lead said coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. (End of this chapter)
