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

Chapter 71 Identity Crisis
"Okay, great!"

Xiao Yan was stunned.

The sense of oppression that Old Man Mu Gu brought to him was the greatest he had ever felt in his life. He could still fight other enemies, but facing Old Man Mu Gu, let alone resistance, even escape was just a luxury.

But even such a powerful enemy can be defeated by just one sword in front of the ancestor!
"Good kill!"

Su Qian felt very happy and wanted to grind old man Mu Gu into dust to tell the spirits of the two elders in heaven.

Yao Lao's expression was complicated: "Your greed has ultimately brought bad consequences."

Although they were enemies and were repeatedly persecuted by the old man Mu Gu, Mu Gu was his former junior fellow apprentice after all, so he couldn't help feeling sad.

"It disturbs the peace."

Su Yun waved his sleeves, and the energy of heaven and earth churned, crushing the old man Mu Gu's body into powder and dissipating it with the wind.

As for the soul, his sword intent had already annihilated the soul of old man Mu Gu, leaving no possibility of escape.

"Everyone, please answer a few questions for me."

After doing all this, Su Yun's face showed a smile as gentle as jade, which made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze. His manners were gentle and elegant, showing the style of an emperor. There was no trace of the look of him who had just killed the enemy ruthlessly.

"Please tell us, we will tell you everything we know!"

Su Qian bowed. The death of old man Mu Gu made him feel more favorable towards the successor of the Sword Emperor.

"I inherited my master's legacy here, yet I'm unaware of the passage of time... How many years have passed since Clan Leader Xiao Xuan failed in his bid for the Dou Emperor title?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard and said, "It's been a thousand years."

"A thousand years? Things and people have changed..."

Su Yun's eyes showed a trace of trance, and he said: "How is the Xiao clan now?"

Xiao Yan's eyes flushed red: "Ancestor, the Xiao clan has changed its name to the Xiao family, and is no longer known as the Eight Ancient Clans!

My name is Xiao Yan. My father, Xiao Zhan, is the current patriarch of the Xiao family. He was captured by the Soul Palace not long ago! The Xiao family has been divided into dozens of branches, hiding their identities to avoid the Soul Palace's pursuit!

Su Yun frowned slightly: "Soul Palace... After our clan was defeated, the Soul Clan established this Soul Palace and set up branch palaces in all corners of the continent, searching for traces of our clan everywhere.

I never thought the situation would be so bad that a mere subordinate force of the Soul Clan could force our clan into a desperate situation."

Su Yun raised his eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Yan, his brows furrowed even more: "You are almost twenty years old, why are you still just a Dou Ling?
What is your father's cultivation level, Dou Huang?"

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly: "Ancestor, I am already the strongest person in the Xiao family besides you. As for my father, he... he is a great fighting master."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's voice gradually became weaker.

"My clan has declined to this point!"

Su Yun roared to the sky.

Xiao Yan felt extremely guilty.

Yao Lao and the others were moved by the tragic howl, and a look of sorrow appeared on their faces.

Xiao Xun'er gathered her hair gently and walked lightly to Su Yun. She bowed gracefully, her skirt spreading out. "Greetings, senior of the Xiao clan."

Su Yun lowered her eyes with a cold expression, "You are the proud daughter of this generation of the ancient clan.

You are so young, but your bloodline power has reached the eighth grade. In the future, it is not a problem for you to have a divine bloodline. You even have the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame inherited from the ancient clan.

The Gu clan has been living a comfortable life these past few years. Thousands of years later, there is another peak Dou Sheng who can ensure the prosperity of the clan. On the other hand, my Xiao clan..."

The Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Fire List!
Xiao Yan was shocked and suddenly turned to look at Xiao Xun'er. He never expected that Xun'er, who was so weak in front of him in the past, could actually subdue such a terrifying strange fire!

Xiao Xun'er could tell that Su Yun's words were barbed. She knew the reason: her father had promised Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan, to take care of the Xiao clan. Now, the ancient clan was still a powerful Dou Di family standing tall on the continent, while the Xiao clan had been reduced to a homeless dog. It was impossible for this Xiao clan elder not to harbor resentment towards the ancient clan.

“The Gu Clan doesn’t want to see the Xiao Clan’s situation… That’s why Daddy allowed me to join the Xiao Family, hoping I could help out.

These days, Xun'er has also tried her best to help Brother Xiao Yan find your whereabouts. Brother Xiao Yan can testify to this."

A sense of wonder crossed Xiao Yan's mind. Xun'er had devoted herself to helping him find the ruins, that was true, but her father's purpose in arranging her to enter the Xiao family was more complex...

Why did Xun'er say this? Was it a white lie she told to prevent the ancestor's impression of the ancient clan from getting worse?

Xiao Yan didn't understand it for the time being, and given the current situation, it was impossible for him to contradict Xiao Xun'er, so he said, "Yes, Ancestor, what Xun'er said is true."

"There is such a thing. I must have misunderstood the ancient clan."

Everyone could clearly see that Su Yun's expression had eased a lot.

This Xiao family ancestor, the descendant of the Sword Emperor, is truly naive and shows everything on his face...

A strange look flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. To put it nicely, it was a pure heart, but to put it bluntly, it was stubbornness and naivety.

Even Xiao Yan is more cunning than him.

Su Yun smiled gently, but a scrutinizing look flashed across the depths of his eyes.

This damn girl is taking advantage of me, an old ancestor, who has been trapped for a thousand years and has no idea about the Xiao family's situation... She is trying to make me let my guard down with such words. What bad things are she planning?

Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone is happy, but Xun'er still has some doubts."

"go ahead."

Xiao Xun'er said softly, "For ten thousand years, my clan has been an ally of the Xiao clan, and we are quite familiar with their affairs. However, we know very little about you."

Su Yun's eyes moved slightly, questioning his identity...

However, in order to manifest the Dou Emperor's bloodline, he had originally hoped that Xiao Xun'er would enter the ruins, and naturally expected this clever and eccentric little girl to have some doubts. He had already prepared for this.

Su Yun smiled and said, "I know very little... To be more precise, I should know nothing at all, right?"

Xiao Xun'er didn't expect Su Yun to admit it so straightforwardly, and was stunned for a moment.

"Ah."

"Only this can prove that the clan elders handled this matter perfectly and didn't leak any information."

A hint of admiration appeared on Su Yun's face.

"Back then, the power of the Xiao clan's bloodline was gradually weakening. Clan leader Xiao Xuan proposed to mobilize the clan's bloodline to attack the Dou Emperor, and he received support from most of the clan elders.

Although a small number of people had some concerns, they finally agreed. However, as a cunning rabbit has three burrows, in order to prevent Chief Xiao Xuan from making a desperate attempt and failing, the Great Elder made several preparations without telling Chief Xiao Xuan.

"So, you are the backup plan prepared by the Xiao clan's Great Elder for the Xiao clan?"

Xiao Xun'er seemed to be thinking about something. This statement was indeed reasonable, and the power of the Xiao clan's bloodline in Su Yun was not fake.

However, her biggest doubt also lies here.

Ninth-grade bloodline and seven-colored clan emblem. Logically speaking, the Gu clan would not be unaware of the fact that the Xiao clan had such a genius.

Even the Soul Clan will pay special attention to him, and even rank the Xiao family ancestor first as the number one target to be eliminated!
Ninth-grade bloodline, at least able to successfully grow to the level of Dou Sheng, is a great threat!
In this situation, how did the Xiao clan hide him so well, even evading the Soul clan's heavy encirclement and suppression?

Xiao Xun'er waited quietly for Su Yun's next words.
