Chapter 251 I Never Do a Losing Deal

"Leave the Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Child, you probably don't understand the rules of the Heavenly Tomb."

You living people may be able to come and go freely, but beings like me, existing in the form of a remnant soul, will have their souls locked up by the rules of this space once they enter the Heavenly Tomb.

There's no way I can leave.

Xiao Xuan was somewhat helpless; this child was being a bit too unrealistic.

"I am confident in the strength of my Emperor Realm soul, and I have had thoughts of leaving over the years."

But whenever I wander to the edge of the Heavenly Tomb and try to break through the boundary, the Heavenly Tomb will generate an extremely powerful suction force that forcibly pulls me back.

That suction force didn't originate from the realm of matter or energy, but rather from the very rules of the Heavenly Tomb itself; even I couldn't resist it.

“I understand everything the clan chief said.”

Su Yun nodded slightly and said, "But in the end, the essence of the Heavenly Tomb is nothing more than a treasure made by an ancient Dou Di to contain a soul."

If we possessed a magical artifact of equal caliber that could counteract its rules, then taking you out of the Heavenly Tomb would no longer be a problem.

"Oh?"

A glint flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes. According to what the child said, could they be carrying such a treasure?
"Could it be!"

Xiao Yan's body jolted, and he reacted instantly, quickly raising his hand to reach for his storage ring.

"Shh!"

A purplish-black light flashed, and a flag covered with strange patterns appeared in his hand, with wisps of black smoke rising slightly from its edges.

"What is this?"

The moment Xiao Yan took out the Human Emperor Banner, Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed.

He sensed a power on this strange banner that was both of the same origin as and opposed to the Heavenly Tomb, clearly indicating that it was also a treasure specifically designed for soul entities!
Su Yun smiled calmly, his gaze falling on the Emperor's Banner, and slowly explained: "This item is called the Emperor's Banner."

It is a magical artifact passed down from ancient times. Although it has been lost in the Dou Qi Continent, there are corresponding records of it in the master's inheritance...

However, don't misunderstand, the Human Emperor Banner was not created by the teacher. Its true origin comes from an evil emperor in ancient times.

As creations at the same Dou Di level, the Human Emperor Banner's power is no less than that of the Heavenly Tomb.

"He has such a background!"

Xiao Xuan's eyes were filled with amazement, and his gaze toward Su Yun held a touch more admiration.

This child not only possesses the ninth-grade bloodline of the Xiao clan, but also the inheritance of the Sword Emperor, which has truly broadened his horizons time and time again.

Xiao Xuan stared intently at the Emperor's Banner in Xiao Yan's hand, a strong hope burning in his heart.

Perhaps, this flag can truly break the rules of the Heavenly Tomb and allow him to leave this place that has imprisoned him for thousands of years!

"Chieftain, would you be willing to give it a try?"

Without the slightest hesitation, a sharp glint, suppressed for a thousand years, flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

"Of course! If Gu Yuan is truly as you say, a traitor who has broken his promise and deceived my Xiao clan, I will definitely go out and confront him face to face to demand justice!"

"it is good!"

A strange smile appeared on Su Yun's lips.

Successful.

Undoubtedly, the primary beneficiaries of Xiao Xuan's emergence from the tomb are Xiao Yan and the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Xuan is a remnant soul, his Emperor-level soul power is comparable to that of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. With his protection, Xiao Yan's path to growth will be much smoother, and the Xiao family will be able to completely get rid of their predicament.

But if we take a longer-term view, the biggest beneficiary is still ourselves...

He never does a business that loses money!
Su Yun turned to look at Xiao Yan, his tone calm, and said, "Let's begin." "Okay!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and gripped the flagpole of the Human Emperor Banner with both hands!
"Boom--!"

A surge of immense spiritual power and battle aura flowed simultaneously, like two rushing rivers, continuously pouring into the flag.

In an instant, a purplish-black light burst forth from the Emperor's Banner, and a chilling aura spread out, even causing the dissipating energy of heaven and earth in the courtyard to stagnate slightly.

“Ancestor, with my current strength, I am not yet able to forcibly absorb the soul of an Emperor Realm expert.”

Xiao Yan looked up at Xiao Xuan with a solemn expression: "To succeed, you must completely relax your mind and not have any intention of resisting."

Otherwise, the power of the Human Emperor Banner will clash with your soul, and all your efforts will be in vain!

"Go ahead and do as you please."

Xiao Xuan responded softly, then slowly closed his eyes, letting his hands fall naturally at his sides, completely concealing all his aura and soul fluctuations, quietly waiting for the power of the Human Emperor Banner.

"coming!"

Xiao Yan let out a low shout, veins bulging on his neck, and gripped the flagpole of the Human Emperor Banner tightly with both hands, pushing his fighting spirit and soul power to the limit.

In an instant, the purplish-black light on the Emperor's Banner surged like boiling magma!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

A gigantic banner, hundreds of feet tall, slowly rose from the flag. The strange patterns on the banner seemed to come alive, exuding a cold and domineering aura, and slowly enveloped Xiao Xuan's figure!

Wherever the purplish-black light and shadow passed, the air sizzled and burned, and a powerful suction force spread out from the center of the banner, pulling at Xiao Xuan's soul and body!
In a short while, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead, and the sweat slid down his cheeks.

He clenched his teeth, his face gradually turning red. The weight of the Emperor Realm soul far exceeded his imagination, as if he were moving a mountain, and he could hardly support it!

"drink!"

Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and let out a deep roar. He squeezed out the last bit of fighting spirit and soul power in his body and poured it into the Human Emperor Banner.

Now he understands!
The ancestor crafted this supreme magic weapon for him not only to protect him, but also to help his ancestors escape their predicament—a more important purpose!
Otherwise, why would the Sword Emperor's legacy of many secret treasures be given to someone else, specifically the Imperial Banner?

We must not let our ancestors down!
"Boom--!"

The purplish-black light on the Emperor's Banner surged again, and the suction force of the banner's shadow suddenly increased several times.

"Boom--!"

A dull, loud thud echoed through the courtyard!
"This is……"

Xiao Xuan's expression turned solemn. His soul body began to sway uncontrollably, and his feet slowly lifted off the ground, drifting towards the direction of the Human Emperor Banner.

He could feel the power of the rules of the Heavenly Tomb frantically pulling at his soul, trying to keep him in this space, but the suction of the Human Emperor Banner was even more domineering, tearing apart the shackles of the rules!

In just a few breaths, Xiao Xuan's soul was completely enveloped by that powerful suction force, turning into a golden stream of light and being forcibly pulled into the Human Emperor Banner!

As the last wisp of golden light disappeared from the banner, the purple-black light of the Human Emperor Banner slowly receded, transforming back into the ancient flag, lying quietly in Xiao Yan's hand.

"Success!"

Xiao Yan suddenly released his grip on the flagpole, staggered back two steps, but a wildly joyful smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Su Yun looked pleased and said, "Well done."

Meanwhile, inside the Human Emperor Banner.

Xiao Xuan looked down at his illusory yet solid hands, his face filled with disbelief, and murmured to himself, "It really happened... I really left the Heavenly Tomb..."

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, he could constantly feel the ever-present pressure of the rules, like an invisible shackle that firmly bound him within that space.

But now, that pressure is gone!
In its place is the unique power of the Human Emperor Banner's rules!

The rules of the Human Emperor Banner are above those of the Heavenly Tomb!
"Children, well done... Gu Yuan, this time, I will go out and see for myself what you have done to my Xiao clan!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes!
