Unrivaled Tang Sect: Xiao Ding Zhen Tian

Chapter 81 First Hearing
With the appearance of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Cauldron, the surrounding environment was instantly infected by its heavy aura, and Dugu Jing directly felt a huge pressure filling his surroundings.

The old man was fine. After all, his cultivation level was there and he was not affected by Xiao Yun's martial spirit.

However, his eyes began to change wildly, first confusion, then familiarity, and finally, a hint of shock!
"It is indeed quite similar to the martial spirit recorded by our ancestors, and both of you have the surname Xiao. Child, you can take your martial spirit back."

After hearing what Grandpa Dugu Jing said, Xiao Yun nodded and took back the Nine Dragons Heavenly Cauldron.

As the surroundings became quiet again, Dugu Jing's grandfather spoke softly, "As for your martial spirit, it can be traced back to an event thousands of years ago. At that time, the throne of the Tiandou Empire was still occupied by the Xue family, but due to some reasons, the Xue family gradually declined, which gave a new force an opportunity."

"That force is now the royal family of the Tianhun Empire. Originally, this family was only considered to be above average, not stronger than some large families. But at that time, the patriarch of this family was married to the daughter of the leader of the Body Sect, so at his invitation, they received help from the Body Sect."

Listening to Grandpa Dugu Jing's words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel shocked.

It turns out that the reason why the Tianhun Empire had the courage to seize power and usurp the throne and launch the Tiandou National Rebellion was because it had the help of the Body Sect.

"Although the Xue family had fallen at that time, they still received help from many sects, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family that was rebuilt at the time, and even the Haotian Sect. Even the Tang Sect, which had not yet completely fallen, was assisting the Xue family."

"Counting the number of Titled Douluo, the Xue family can summon dozens of strong men of this level. But the rebellious family at that time, which is now the Tianhun Royal Family, does not only have the help of the Body Sect."

Dugu Jing's grandfather couldn't help but pause as he spoke, "The reason why the Tianhun royal family dared to plan this war, in addition to the Body Sect, was because they received help from a force. At the time, this force was the most famous legion in the Tiandou Empire. There were four different families under its command, and each family had great trust in the leader of this legion."

"The leader of that legion is a powerful spirit master named Xiao. If it weren't for his own strength being too strong, so strong that the forces of the Heaven Dou Empire could not ignore him, otherwise, the Xue family would not have kept him by their side and even formed such a terrifying force."

"With the help of the Body Sect and this legion, the Xue family was eventually driven out of Tiandou City and established the current Douling Empire. But not long after the establishment of the Tianhun Empire, the strong man surnamed Xiao disappeared unexpectedly in Tiandou City, and no one knew why."

After hearing this, Xiao Yun probably had his own ideas.

But he continued to listen.

Dugu Jing's grandfather smiled gently. "At that time, because the leader was missing, many people in the legion also entered Tiandou City to ask the then Tianhun Emperor, but the answer they got was ambiguous. After that, one of the families in the legion suddenly announced that it would join the Tianhun royal family. From then on, the entire legion disappeared into history."

"That strong man surnamed Xiao was a good friend of our ancestor when they were young, so the ancestor chose to help the Tianhun royal family during the Tiandou War. But in the end, because of the disappearance of that strong man, he returned to this forest and only recorded this history."

After the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yun paused for a moment before asking, "So, that powerful soul master surnamed Xiao was probably killed by the Tianhun Royal Family and the Body Sect in secret because of his appeal and the threat he posed to the royal family?"

"The ancestors didn't record this in detail, and there are many speculations from later generations, but there is still no definitive conclusion." Dugu Jing's grandfather sighed softly, "At that time, the strong man named Xiao was only in his forties, but he was already a level 97 Super Douluo. It is said that at that time, he was the one who had the greatest hope of achieving the Limit."

"Except for the family that joined the Tianhun Empire after its founding, where did the other members of that powerful army go?" Xiao Yun asked again. Dugu Jing's grandfather shook his head, "I don't know. Our family has rarely been out for so many years, so we don't know about these things."

Is this so?

Xiao Yun didn't ask any more questions, but he already had the answer in his heart.

The mysterious force that Ning Tian mentioned is most likely a force formed by the remaining strength of this legion.

It is really hard to imagine that a legion that has lost its leader and a family can develop into a force that even a behemoth like the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is wary of.

"There are indeed many victims of the Tiandou War. Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was not as glorious as before, it was still a well-known big family. Unfortunately, it declined again after the end of the war. Although they can still live in Tiandou City, they are still subject to the restrictions of the Tianhun royal family. Alas, if they stand on the wrong side, the family will be doomed. It is better to stay out of the outside world's affairs." Dugu Jing's grandfather sighed.

Dugu Jing just ate his meal in silence and listened to the conversation between Xiao Yun and his grandfather.

On the contrary, Xiao Yun became more and more confused the more he listened.

It is possible that there really is a connection between him and the powerful man named Xiao, or that mysterious force.

Looking back, it seemed that his family had only lived in Maple Leaf City for a few generations. Thousands of years had passed since the Tiandou War. How could there not be descendants of the Xiao family who were left behind or left on their own initiative during such a long period of time?
So, what Ning Tian said and what I heard from Dugu Jing might actually be true.

When Xiao Yun thought about his own life experience and the fact that his family suddenly became so mysterious, he felt a bit of a headache.

"Although I'm not sure whether you are the descendant of the powerful Xiao, you are a friend brought back by Jing'er. Just for this reason, I like you very much." Dugu Jing's grandfather said, looking at Dugu Jing in front of him, "This child has suffered a lot. He has lived with an old man like me since he was a child. He has never had a companion since he was a child. Child, I will ask you to help take care of Jing'er in the future."

Xiao Yun smiled slightly, "What are you talking about? Sometimes I still need Dugu Jing to take care of me. But don't worry, as long as Dugu Jing needs it, I will definitely help him."

"Okay, okay, now I feel relieved. I always worry about my child when he is alone outside."

While talking, the three of them finished their lunch.

While the old man was making soup, Dugu Jing brought Xiao Yun to his grandfather's room.

"Wait, I'll get you the medicine." After greeting Xiao Yun, Dugu Jing began to rummage in the cabinet.
