Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 250 Not So Smart

"Gu Yuan? Don't mention him again, he's a beast!"

Xiao Yan's expression was cold and stern.

Xiao Xuan's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, his chest filled with barely suppressed rage.

"Before I attempted to break through to the Emperor Realm, I had a premonition that I might fail, so I specifically entrusted the Xiao Clan to Gu Yuan, asking him to take care of them. Now, according to you, did he fail to do so at all?"

"It's more than just failing to do it!"

Su Yun's voice also turned cold: "My Xiao clan has fallen to this state, and the ancient clan not only did not lend a helping hand, but actually made a great contribution to it!"

"what!"

Xiao Xuan's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief, and he said, "Before you, every time a member of an ancient clan came into the Heavenly Tomb, they said that Gu Yuan had taken good care of the Xiao clan!"

"How dare they...how could they lie to me!"

"Grandmother, how could you so easily believe their words!"

Xiao Yan sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness: "Gu Yuan made everyone agree on a story and fabricate lies to deceive you before they came in. Was that a difficult thing?"
You are trapped in the Heavenly Tomb, and everything you hear about the outside world can only be relayed by others. Whatever they want to say is up to them.

Please wake up!

"Impossible, impossible..."

Xiao Xuan staggered back half a step, shaking his head blankly, clearly unable to accept this cruel reality.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on Su Yun, as if he had grasped the last straw: "If that's really the case, how did you acquire this ninth-grade bloodline?"

In order to break through to the Dou Di realm, I drained all the Dou Di bloodline of the Xiao clan, leaving not a single trace of it.

The bloodline of the Xiao clan to the Dou Di is now even thinner than that of the descendants of the various small worlds, so there is absolutely no possibility of their bloodline returning to its ancestral form!

Without external assistance, the Xiao clan would never have been able to produce another ninth-grade bloodline!
"Isn't your bloodline the result of intermarriage between the Xiao clan and the Gu clan, using the Gu clan's Dou Di bloodline to activate my clan's abandoned Emperor bloodline, thus allowing us to be reborn?"

Xiao Xuan looked anxious; otherwise, there was no way to explain the child's bloodline!

"Would an ancient clan be willing to marry their imperial daughter to us?"

Xiao Yan chuckled. But as soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure, as elegant as a lotus, involuntarily appeared in his mind.

The girl's clear eyes and gentle appearance lessened the mockery in his heart, replacing it with a hint of complexity.

Yes...it's simply impossible.

"Clan leader, stop having illusions about Gu Yuan."

Su Yun's expression grew increasingly grave: "I am not a member of the Xiao clan in this world, but a true member of the Xiao clan from a thousand years ago. It was through the process of ancestral atonement that I awakened this ninth-grade bloodline..."

He then revealed the entire story he had prepared in his mind: "A thousand years ago, it was Elder Xiao Kong who discovered me."

In order to preserve the last embers of the Xiao clan, he took me away from the clan's territory and hid me in the outside world when I was young.

"It is also thanks to Elder Xiao Kong's foresight back then that I was able to avoid disaster after the Xiao Clan's decline and grow up smoothly, and now I have the opportunity to stand here and see you, Clan Chief!"

Xiao Xuan frowned again, a faint spiritual power surging at his fingertips as he carefully sensed Su Yun's aura. After a moment, a deeper doubt appeared in his eyes.

"But what is your bone age?"

"Alas, clan leader, would you rather believe Gu Yuan than believe me, a member of the Xiao clan?"

Su Yun looked helpless and said, "A thousand years ago, an ancient ruin appeared in the world, which contained the legacy of an ancient sword emperor."

I stumbled upon the ruins by chance and was chosen by the Sword Emperor to become his successor. However, the legacy of the Dou Emperor was so vast that I, at the time only a Dou Zun, was simply unable to bear it all. Fortunately, my teacher left a contingency plan, using the power of the Dou Emperor to anchor my timeline. In this way, I was able to inherit all the legacies over a thousand years and awaken in the present world.

Such inconceivable methods, much like how the Heavenly Tomb alters the flow of time, are supreme powers that only a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) can possess.

I have explained the whole story to you in detail, Chieftain. Now, are you willing to believe me?

"This……"

Xiao Xuan's expression turned solemn, and the soul power at his fingertips slowly receded.

It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it.

The child's claim that he came from a thousand years ago was too far-fetched; he had only wanted to verify the details and dispel his doubts.

Now, Su Yun's explanation is reasonable. Although there are some doubts, considering the time rules of the Heavenly Tomb and the abilities of the Dou Di, freezing time is not impossible.

Moreover, the pure aura of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di bloodline on Su Yun's body cannot be faked... This is the most powerful proof.

No matter how cunning or treacherous a person may be, they could not possibly make such a disguise.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan's last remaining doubts completely vanished.

“Ancestor, it was because you trusted that villain Gu Yuan that my Xiao clan has fallen to this state!”
Even now, you still refuse to doubt him?!

Xiao Yan was heartbroken. The Xiao clan had declined so drastically, perhaps because of his ancestor's blind faith in and obsession with his old friend.

This trust, in the end, has become a sharp blade piercing the Xiao clan!

A thousand years ago, there were five supreme experts who stood side by side on the Dou Qi Continent. Now, only Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi are still alive, while the other three have long since perished.

Even so, the forces that were once on par with the Xiao clan now face vastly different fates...

Among them, the Pill Tower stands tall on the continent, rivaling the Soul Palace, and remains prosperous.

Even if Burning Flame Valley is in dire straits, it still has a Dou Sheng powerhouse in charge, which can ensure that its lineage continues.

What has become of the Xiao clan? Their strongest member is merely a... Great Dou Master!

The Xiao Clan's small world was lost, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was coveted, and even the secret technique, the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, was stolen and taken for its own use!
It was more than just tragic!
"Was I really wrong...?"

Xiao Xuan stood there, stunned, his mind a complete mess.

Gu Yuan was his good brother. The scene of the two fighting side by side and drinking and laughing together was still vivid in his mind. That friendship was so sincere and profound.

He never imagined that people's hearts could be so fickle, and that promises made in the past could become so cheap.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing Xiao Xuan's appearance.

This Xiao Xuan doesn't seem very bright... but that's fine too. Smart people are more thoughtful and harder to fool, which saves him a lot of trouble in the current situation.

Su Yun stepped forward and slowly said, "Clan leader, if you still don't believe what we're saying, I have a way to let you see for yourself the true plight of my Xiao clan."

"any solution?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's dim eyes instantly lit up.

He wanted to verify it himself, no matter what!

Su Yun remained calm, his gaze fixed on the void outside the courtyard shrouded in energy.

"Leave the Heavenly Tomb."
