Chapter 1997: Ancient Clan

The roars of gods and demons echoed between heaven and earth, trying to tear apart this ancient and silent land. The dead souls of gods and demons wandering between heaven and earth seemed to be alive at this moment. During the day, they looked horrible, but their expressions were confused. When it was dark, these confused dead souls of gods and demons became extremely ferocious and ferocious.

"Let's go!"

Qian Yu Nishang wanted to pull the two people beside her away from here, but it was already dark. The surroundings were full of gods and demons roaring, and there were "alive" gods and demons everywhere. Where should they go?

The seven people of the ancient clan changed their faces when they saw this scene. They had been outside the Nine Heavens for many years, and they knew better than Xiao Chen and the other two that these gods and demons who had long died suddenly "came back to life". What does this mean?

"Let's go!"

The seven people finally didn't care about Xiao Chen and the other two. At this time, they only wanted to find a safe place, at least a safe place in their eyes, and then hold on until dawn before leaving here.

However, there were residual souls of gods and demons everywhere. What was even more terrifying was that these residual souls of gods and demons could find them by the breath of living people. It was useless to escape anywhere.

"Die!"

Suddenly, a terrifying god and demon appeared in front of the seven people. The god and demon was about ten feet tall. When he was alive, he was killed by a flying sword. Only half of his head was left. A terrifying aura of gods and demons enveloped him, making the seven people unable to move.

"Go!"

As soon as the seven people reacted and had not yet fled, the god and demon slapped them with a palm. With a "bang", two of them were instantly slapped into blood mist.

Seeing this scene, Qianyu Nishang was even more horrified. What was even more terrifying was that two gods and demons were staring at the three of them. Several terrifying blood lights enveloped them, and there was almost no place to hide.

"Go!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen unfolded the Lingxian Step and took the two people away from the vicinity. The two gods and demons slapped them with a palm, and immediately raised dust and sand. Fortunately, the three people fled quickly, otherwise they would have ended up like the two people from the ancient clan just now.

But what's the use of escaping? There are still many residual souls of gods and demons around here, and they soon discovered the living breath of the three of them and quickly came here.

"Oh no..."

This time Xiao Meng'er's face changed. What should I do? It's already dark. How can I escape from these terrifying gods and demons?

"Don't panic."

At this moment, Xiao Chen raised his hands, and a dead air spread out from his body, and soon formed a cover, covering the three people in it, so as to isolate the living breath of the three people.

Sure enough, as soon as this dead air came out, it immediately cut off the living breath of the three people, making the gods and demons in the sky lose their sense of them.

"Don't make a sound..."

Although the living breath of them has been isolated, they still can't be careless at this time. Those tall gods and demons are walking around them, and their footsteps are heavy, like thunder. Every step they take will make the red sand on the ground shake.

Qianyu Nishang and Xiao Meng'er also held their breath. Looking at the place just now, there were only three people left of the seven people of the ancient clan. Most of them could not escape. One of them flew up desperately, trying to escape. Unexpectedly, before he flew a hundred feet away, a big hand stretched out in the darkness and caught him at once, and then pulled his hands and feet off abruptly, and there were bursts of screams that made people's scalps numb.

The remaining two people were already scared to death. One of them had his throat crushed by the gods and demons, and his head was directly torn off. The other was split in half by a knife from the middle. The two people could not even escape. The bloody smell was blown away by the wind, and soon attracted more gods and demons nearby. The residual souls came here.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The heavy footsteps still echoed around. After a long time, these gods and demons did not leave and were still searching nearby. Obviously, they did not forget that there were three living breaths that suddenly disappeared just now. At this moment, they were looking for Xiao Chen and the other two.

Looking at these ferocious and terrifying gods and demons, the three of them covered their mouths and noses tightly, not daring to breathe or make a sound. Now that the seven people of the ancient clan are dead, they are the only ones left. No one will attract the attention of these gods and demons for them. Once these gods and demons find them, there is almost no possibility of escape.

The three hid behind a sand dune, lying on the ground, trying not to expose their bodies. When they were nervous, suddenly a demon head flew in front of the sand dune. This demon head was bloody, as big as a car hood, with two eyes like lights, bloody light, staring at the three people.

Qianyu Nishang was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled. Xiao Chen quickly held her down and said, "Don't move, he can't see us..."

Sure enough, this bloody demon head circled around the sand dune twice and went somewhere else. After a long time, the residual souls of the gods and demons nearby slowly left, but the terrifying low whistling sound continued to ring between heaven and earth, which was creepy to hear.

These dead gods and demons wandered around this dead land in a peaceful and confused manner during the day, posing no harm or threat to people, but at night, they became so terrifying that it was hard to imagine where this place was.

"Finally gone..."

Until the nearby dead gods and demons completely left, Qianyu Nishang dared to slowly straighten up and look around. The gods and demons in the distance were still extremely terrifying, howling lowly, as if they wanted to tear this place apart.

"What should we do now?"

Qianyu Nishang turned around and looked at the other two. Although the gods and demons nearby had left, there were still many in the distance. They couldn't go out and wander around at this time. They could only wait here for dawn. After dawn, these gods and demons would return to confusion again.

Xiao Chen didn't speak, but looked at Xiao Meng'er. Seeing that her face was still a little pale and there was blood on the corners of her mouth, he asked, "Are you better?"

"It's okay for now."

Xiao Meng'er wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, stood up, and looked at the distance. The remains of the ancient clan were still there, but soon, they would be buried by the wind and sand in this dead place.

"What's the matter with the ancient clan? What's the matter with your Xiao family? Qianyu Nishang looked at her and asked.

Xiao Meng'er closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened her eyes and sorted out her words, "It was a branch of the ancient Xiao family a long time ago."

"Then what? What does it have to do with your current Xiao family? "Qianyu Nishang continued to ask.

Xiao Meng'er said, "They want to completely eliminate the people with the direct blood of the ancient Xiao family in this world. The direct line of the Xiao family has been killed by them several times. Now there is only the branch in the mortal world, the Lingxu Realm, that is, my people..."

Xiao Chen said, "As long as the people with the direct blood of the ancient Xiao family are eliminated, then they will become the 'direct line'."

"Yes..."

Xiao Meng'er took a deep breath and nodded, "For thousands of years, they have tried every means to hunt down the remaining direct line of the Xiao family. The most recent time was three thousand years ago. They could not come to the human world, so they attacked the Xiao family from all over the world. That time, the Xiao family suffered countless casualties. All the strong men died in that battle. The ancestral spirit vein of the Xiao family was also damaged, and it has since declined... And an ancestor of our Xiao family disappeared that year, most likely because of this ancient clan. "

"So that's it. "

This time Xiao Chen understood. No wonder the Xiao family is so declining now. It turns out that thousands of years ago, the few remaining strong men were all killed in battle.

The Xiao family is so weak now that they couldn't even protect their clansmen a few decades ago. Now that the ancestral veins are exhausted, the entire Xiao family is in decline. Even a Xiao Hen can easily destroy them. If it weren't for the Xiao family and a strange person like Xiao Meng'er who has the blood of the great ancestor, I'm afraid the Xiao family would have perished long ago?

Qian Yu Nishang asked, "Then why did that branch leave the ancient Xiao family and form its own family?"

"Who knows..."

Xiao Meng'er clenched her fingers tightly, still full of hatred. Xiao Chen sneered and said, "The Xiao family is best at suppressing the branch with the direct line, and is particularly good at driving geniuses out of the family. I think it might be similar to the incident with Xiao Hen..."

"No! "

Xiao Meng'er looked at him, sat up straight, and argued with him excitedly, "I can't deny the matter of Xiao Hen, but didn't you see that this ancient clan has a dark and evil breath in their blood? It is definitely different from Xiao Hen..."

"Don't say it, I understand."

At this time, Qianyu Nishang held her down and said, "In my opinion, it is probably this ancient clan that has problems. They are ambitious and want to replace the direct line of the Xiao family, so they want to kill all the direct line of the Xiao family. As long as the direct line of the Xiao family is completely eliminated, they will naturally be the direct line. "

"Yes, that's it! "

Xiao Meng'er felt relieved when she saw that she finally stopped arguing with him and helped him. She glanced at Xiao Chen again, clearly still with some anger.

In fact, Xiao Chen knew that he said that just now because he thought of his father and felt uncomfortable for a while. He was just complaining and saying a few words. He didn't expect Xiao Meng'er to be so excited after hearing it. He didn't argue with her for the moment. After a while, when she calmed down, he asked again, "What are those people doing here?"

This time, Xiao Meng'er fell into deep thought. Xiao Chen and Qian Yu Nishang were beside her. It was obvious that she must have guessed something, but it seemed that she was unwilling to say it easily.

Xiao Meng'er pondered for a long time. Under the gaze of the two, she finally said, "I'll tell you the truth. I came to the Nine Heavens to find something."

"What is it? "

Xiao Chen looked at her, wondering if she was finally willing to tell him about the Xiao family. As he had guessed before, Xiao Meng'er must have a purpose for coming to the Nine Heavens.

"The blood of a great ancestor of the Xiao family."

Xiao Meng'er raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her. When they heard this, their expressions became solemn. They obviously knew that the word "blood" she was talking about at this time did not refer to the blood of the Xiao family, but a drop of blood left by the great ancestor of the Xiao family.

If the drop of blood refined by the great ancestor of the Xiao family with his life's work can be integrated, it will not be as simple as the realm outside the world. Obviously, the great ancestor of the Xiao family was an unparalleled strong man, and he was definitely not comparable to the gods and immortal emperors outside the Nine Heavens now.

"The blood of the great ancestor... I see. "

After listening to this, Qianyu Nishang was stunned. "No wonder when he and I came in that day, I heard you and Empress Tianyao talking about the Thirteen Ancient Tombs. It turns out... you never said anything."

Xiao Meng'er remained silent. She didn't want to tell the two of them about the "blood of the great ancestor" now, but now the situation has changed. This time, the ancient clan came too suddenly, and she couldn't continue to hide this matter.

Xiao Chen's face was very calm, he looked at her and said, "In other words, this ancient clan, or that branch of the ancient Xiao family, they suddenly appeared this time for the same purpose as you, they also want to find the person from back then. The bloodline left behind by the great ancestor of the Xiao family.”

"Um……"

Xiao Meng'er nodded, "They must be here to find the blood of Taizu, otherwise they wouldn't appear in the Endless Dao Realm for no reason."

Qian Yu Nishang said, "Then you have to hurry up. If they find that heaven-defying blood first, then they will really become 'kings' and you will become 'rebellious ministers and traitors'."

"interesting……"

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, "Some people are very naive and want to change everything in front of them with a drop of blood from their ancestors. Each of your Xiao family is really more interesting than the last..."

Seeing that every time he talked about things about the Xiao family, he would first make sarcastic remarks. Xiao Meng'er couldn't help but raise her head and wanted to argue with him, but in the end she gave it up. He was right and came to Jiuzhong by herself. Tianwai, aren't you looking for Taizu's blood just to change the fate of the Xiao family?

Qianyu Nishang glanced at Xiao Chen, "It seems that you have a strong prejudice against the Xiao family, but you should stop making sarcastic remarks here. What should we do now?"

"what to do?"

Xiao Chen glanced at the terrifying gods and demons in the distance, and said calmly, "Wait here now until dawn, then go out, and then return to Xuandu Mountain to tell everyone what happened in the Sky Rift Valley."

The three of them hid behind this sand dune for several hours. When the sky slowly dawned, sure enough, these ferocious gods and demons at night gradually became quiet again, and the low whistles began to disappear. When it finally dawned, these gods and demons were just like when they came in yesterday, with their heads lowered and wandering in confusion between heaven and earth. Now even if they went out and passed by the dead souls of these gods and demons, there would be no trace of them. Any danger.

Qian Yu Nishang came to a god and demon, looked at the terrifying but confused look of the god and demon, and couldn't help but sigh, "They are so ferocious at night, and so confused during the day, and they don't even know who they are..." Eternal gods and demons are so pitiful.”

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen didn't want to stay here any longer. It wasn't that the gods and demons here became ferocious and terrifying when night fell, but the feeling in his heart before, that the immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas who had been dead for thousands of years were all surrounding him. This kind of I can't describe the uncomfortable feeling.

Finally, the three of them returned to the Sky Rift Valley. Compared with yesterday, there was no change, except that some void cracks seemed to have become unstable. There was turbid demonic energy seeping out of some void cracks.

"Get out of here."

Before figuring out what happened here, Xiao Chen will not rush into these "mirror flowers and water moon" again. These mirror flowers and water moon are actually cracks in space, and some can lead to another place, even those outside the Nine Heavens that cannot be reached. to the place.

A few days later, the three of them returned to the outside of the Sky Rift Valley. When they looked back, they felt that the Sky Rift Valley was much more terrifying than the day they arrived.

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Xiao Meng'er, "The people from the ancient clan must already be in Xuandu Mountain. Now there are two options. One is to go back quietly, try not to expose your identity and bloodline, and secretly observe what they want to do." ”

Xiao Meng'er's face was cold, "Say the second one."

Xiao Chen said, "The second option... is to kill him directly and bleed him like a river, leaving no trace of his armor behind. Those eight people must have sent back their spiritual thoughts before they died. They already know your and my existence. I will definitely not let them go. Maybe they have sent people everywhere to look for you and me. Then strike first and kill everyone when you see them... Don't try to reason with them, and don't listen to their reasons. Just kill them and that's it. ”

"the second."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Meng'er's murderous intent was revealed. It was obvious that this time, she had real murderous intent. She will not let go of any of the people from the ancient tribe, at least those who came to the Dao Domain this time. She will kill them all if they can, and will never leave a single person alive. The two sides have already been fighting to the death. If they don’t strike first, how can they wait for the other party to prepare? Okay, come here and kill me. If you fall into the hands of those people, you will never have any chance again.

"Etc., etc……"

Qian Yu Nishang interrupted the two of them and said, "In other words, fight all the way into Xuandu Mountain? What about the elders of the ancient clan? They must also be in Xuandu Mountain..."

"They dare not take action."

Xiao Chen looked at her and said, "It is precisely because it is Xuandu Mountain that it is beneficial to us. If the elders of the ancient clan dare to take action, do you think the three immortals of Xuandu Mountain will not take action?"

"Let's go back and kill all the people they brought this time..."
