Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 23 Soul Bead, Xiao Family Attacked

"What is this?"

Yao Chen suppressed his intense desire and looked at the girl in front of him, asking her a question.

"Remember those two alchemists whose souls were absorbed by my Soul-Locking Bracelet half a month ago?" Hun Qing smiled mysteriously, his voice tinged with smugness. "These are Soul Beads, continuously compressed by the Soul-Locking Bracelet, condensing the purest soul power. They're a great tonic for a soul like yours!"

Yao Chen was surprised. "So, this Soul Bead was made from the souls of those two alchemists?"

"Pretty much, of course, there's also the soul I used to store in the Soul-Locking Bracelet." Hun Qinghao said, his eyes suddenly changing as he glared at Yao Chen.

"What, judging from your tone, do you think the Soul Pearl is an evil object?"

"Uh..." Yao Chen twitched his lips and quickly shook his head, saying, "Of course not, I'm just a little surprised."

"Hmph, that's good. It's rare for me to be kind, and it would be so embarrassing if I were rejected. I would be very angry!" Hun Qinghao said sternly, her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qing'er, I won't give you a chance to get angry." Yao Chen stroked his beard and smiled.

He then reached out and grabbed the Soul Pearl, ruffled Hun Qinghao's hair, and smiled kindly and gently, "How could I refuse Qing'er's kindness? Thank you for your concern about my situation!"

"Hmm!" The little girl was pleased by the coaxing. She raised her chin and huffed arrogantly, then ran to the cave entrance and sat down cross-legged. "You absorb the Soul Pearl, I'll protect you here."

"Mm." Yao Chen nodded with a smile.

In the past, Yao Chen might have scoffed at such a treasure made from someone else's soul, but now that he is just a soul, he has no right to be so picky.

The little girl meant well, and he didn't want to let her down.

…………

Utan City, the Jialie family.

Inside the hall, Jialiebi, the patriarch of the Jialie family, sat in the main seat, listening to reports from those below about the Xiao family's situation.

"Bang!"

Seemingly surprised by what he'd heard, Jialiebi slammed his teacup down, asking urgently, "Is the news reliable? Has that mysterious woman living in the Xiao family really left?"

"Reporting to the clan chief, our people are constantly monitoring the Xiao family, and that mysterious woman has indeed left!"

"Hahaha, good! Without that mysterious woman backing them up, the Xiao family's good days are over." Jialiebi clapped his hands and laughed, as if he could already see the Xiao family's doom and couldn't wait to gather his clansmen to attack the Xiao family.

While Xiao Yan was learning alchemy and Soul Palace combat techniques from Hun Dan on the mountaintop, Jia Liebi led a large group of people from the Jia Lie family into the Xiao family.

Although the Xiao family had some treasures and resources that Hun Qinghao had casually given away, the time was too short and they had not yet fully digested them. Therefore, they were slightly outmatched when facing the attack from the Jia Lie family.

"Xiao Zhan, prepare to die."

With an excited roar, Jialiebi unleashed his strongest fighting technique at the injured Xiao Zhan, a chilling smile on his face.

"stop!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to fight back, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a heavy black ruler on his back and a huge black scythe on his shoulder, holding Galeo hostage and blocking Xiao Zhan's way.

Upon seeing his son in Xiao Yan's hands, Jia Liebi instinctively stopped.

"Father……"

Xiao Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Zhan, who was seriously injured. His anger towards the Jia Lie family quickly rose to its peak.

If he hadn't arrived in time, my father would have... The Jia Lie family deserves to die!

Xiao Zhan struggled to his feet and shouted at Xiao Yan, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

The Xiao family is still too weak. For the past six months, they have relied entirely on Miss Qing's intimidation. Now that Miss Qing has left, these wolves with ambitions can no longer sit still.

But Yan'er is the Xiao family's hope for returning to its peak, and absolutely nothing can happen to her.

Thinking this, Xiao Zhan urged Xiao Yan urgently, "Yan'er, hurry up and leave!"

However, Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled confidently at Xiao Zhan: "Father, don't worry, I can handle it."

Xiao Yan turned to look at Jia Liebi, who was gripping Jia Lie'ao's neck, and coldly warned, "Jialebi, take your men and leave the Xiao family right now!"

This is the only chance he's giving the Jia Lie family. If they refuse, then they can all stay with the Xiao family!

Galebi's expression was grim. He had already made his decision. He surged with power in his palm and slammed it down on the still unconscious Galeio.

"The opportunity to annex the Xiao family is right before us, so, Ao'er, your father has no choice but to sacrifice you!"

Even tigers don't eat their cubs; Xiao Yan never expected that Jia Liebi would personally end the life of his son.

He quickly threw Galeo out and swung his two-meter-long black scythe at Galeo.

"Today, I'll use you to test the power of this Soul Scythe."

The black scythe, with its dark purple, sharp edge, slashed at Jialiebi in half.

boom!

Although Galebi blocked the scythe attack, the excruciating pain in his soul sent him flying backward.

Feeling a sharp pain in his head, he looked at Xiao Yan in shock, "What did you do?"

Xiao Yan touched the scythe and raised an eyebrow. Just as the little witch had said, this Soul Scythe could attack the soul.

"You'll see once you try again." Xiao Yan raised his black scythe and charged at Jialiebi once more.

Jia Liebi immediately countered. After all, he was a peak Grand Battle Master, and after suffering a loss once, he quickly became vigilant.

Xiao Yan was far too weak compared to him. Even with his many trump cards, he could hardly cause any real harm to Jia Liebi. Instead, he ended up making a mess of things for himself.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yan was knocked away by Jia Liebi and fell onto the steps.

"Yan'er!" Xiao Zhan shouted worriedly.

Seeing the disheveled state of the Xiao father and son, Jialiebi sneered, "Ignorant brat, a mere Dou Zhe dares to clash with a Great Dou Shi. Now, no one can save you and your son."

"Is that so?" A flat, emotionless voice rang out. Xiao Yan climbed up the steps, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealed a rather wicked smile, and then shouted into the void, "Brother Hun, it's your turn to make your appearance next."

Jia Liebi frowned, his vigilance heightened. The mysterious woman had already left the Xiao family, so could Xiao Yan have other helpers?

Xiao Zhan also had doubts. He knew that Xiao Yan had been cultivating with Miss Qing in the back mountain for the past six months. Could it be that Miss Qing left this kid with a trump card before she left?

"Hehehe, little brother, you certainly know how to order people around."

A strange laugh echoed in the night sky, and a spatial rift appeared in mid-air, from which a handsome young man in black robes emerged.

Tearing through the void, moving through the air as if on flat ground—this is… a Dou Zong powerhouse!

The appearance of that bastard caused a huge uproar in the hearts of Xiao Zhan and Jialiebi.

That's a Dou Zong level expert, someone the entire Jia Ma Empire doesn't have.

Xiao Zhan: Hehe!

Jialiebi: No, hehe!

As the bastard walked down step by step, each step exuded a layer of pressure, his target being Jialiebi.

By the time the bastard reached the ground, Galebi was already pinned to the ground like a dead dog.
