Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"Many powerful figures and major forces in the state should already be aware of this matter."

“I’m afraid that some people, unable to do anything about me, will use the Xiao family to threaten me.”

"So this time I came back not only to give my uncle some pills, but also to give you a few puppets at the Dou Sheng level."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was shocked once again.

"A Battle Saint puppet?!"

What level are you at now?

"Wait, you're a ninth-grade alchemist, does that mean you're already a Battle Saint?"

"A twenty-year-old Battle Saint?"

"May God bless my Xiao family!"

Xiao Zhan was even more excited at this moment.

If you say he's a ninth-grade alchemist, he probably doesn't know what that means.

However, Xiao Zhan knew that a Dou Sheng was the pinnacle of existence on the Dou Qi Continent!

Chapter 496 The Soul Clan Attacks!

Xiao Zhan never even dared to dream that the Xiao family would produce a Dou Sheng.

After all, in his view, the strongest member of the Xiao family was only Xiao Lin in the past.

He knew that his family seemed to have a long history.

However, Xiao Zhan had no idea what level the Xiao family, or rather the Xiao clan, had reached in the past.

In his view, as a powerful force in the Northwest Continent, it would be quite remarkable if the Xiao family had even one Dou Zong among their ancestors.

As for anything beyond that, Xiao Zhan didn't dare to even think about it.

After all, the fighting techniques and cultivation methods left behind by the Xiao family are all so trashy.

Although the Xiao family did have some Xuan-level fighting techniques and cultivation methods when Xiao Lin was still alive.

However, after Xiao Lin's death, Xiao Zhan and the others didn't even dare to bring these things out.

There's no way around it; even the strongest fighting techniques and cultivation methods of the Yunlan Sect are only at the Xuan rank.

If the Xiao family possesses extremely powerful cultivation techniques and fighting skills, then the saying "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" applies.

In that case, it might not be a good thing for the Xiao family.

Furthermore, Xiao Lin's death was too sudden.

Xiao Zhan and the others escaped, their only concern being their own survival.

Those who took advantage of the situation mostly focused on the Xiao family's martial arts techniques and fighting skills.

Given Xiao Zhan's strength at the time, they simply couldn't have saved it.

Even so, the Xiao family still faced several assassination attempts during their escape to Wutan City.

Xiao Zhan's strength has increased dramatically during this period, and he has already taken his revenge.

The families involved in Xiao Lin's death were wiped out by Xiao Zhan long ago.

Xiao Yang also knew about this.

With Xiao Zhan and his group's current strength, wiping out those families who took advantage of their misfortune would be no problem at all.

"Besides that, Uncle, do you know the history of our Xiao family?"

Xiao Yang slowly took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that Xiao Zhan had given him earlier, and casually played with it in his hand.

He planned to tell Xiao Zhan about the Xiao clan.

This was also to allow Xiao Zhan to prepare.

Although the Soul Palace has not made a move.

However, Xiao Yang knew about the Soul Emperor's plan.

In the original novel, the Soul Emperor only learned about Xiao Yan in the later stages of the story.

By then, Xiao Yan's strength had already reached an extremely high level.

Otherwise, given the Soul Emperor's cautious nature, even if Xiao Yan is the chosen one, it would be difficult for him to survive.

This is also due to the way the Soul Palace operates.

Who made the Soul Palace outsource so many layers of services?

However, the Soul Emperor could find out about Xiao Yang's words at any time.

After all, a ninth-grade alchemist might not be of much use to the Soul Emperor.

However, it has a significant effect on the Soul Clan.

Moreover, if they really find out Xiao Yang's background and discover that he is a member of the Xiao family, the Soul Emperor is very likely to send powerful experts to eliminate him completely.

If one knew Xiao Yang's growth rate, then it goes without saying.

The Soul Emperor will definitely send the Soul Clan's top experts to take action.

It's even possible that he himself was killed by Void Devouring Flame.

Xiao Yang never underestimated the Soul Emperor's level of caution.

Therefore, he had to leave Xiao Zhan with enough means to save his life.

Soon, he began to slowly recount the history of the Xiao clan.

Xiao Yang might not know the details.

But it's enough to let Xiao Zhan know the general background of the Xiao family.

"what?!"

"Our Xiao family is an ancient imperial clan?!"

"Our Xiao family has even produced a Dou Di!"

"Bloodline depletion?"

"Is our ancestor Xiao Xuan still alive?"

"Is Xun'er from an ancient clan?"

"This inheritance jade is actually the key to unlocking the Dou Di inheritance?!"

"hiss--"

Xiao Zhan was somewhat bewildered by the bombardment of Xiao Yang's messages.

He could never dream of such a scenario.

A family in Wutan City whose strongest member was originally only a five-star Grand Dou Master turned out to be an ancient imperial family a thousand years ago!

The family's heirloom jade stone is actually a fragment of the key to unlock the Dou Di Cave!

Moreover, the family even has an enemy from an ancient imperial clan!

"Yang...Yang'er, you're not joking, are you?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan's face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile as he asked.

"Uncle, I would never lie to you, no matter who I lie to."

"Besides, there's no benefit in lying to you!"

"These are indeed the history of our little family."

That's why I said to be careful.

Upon receiving Xiao Yang's affirmative answer, a hint of panic and fear flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes.

The initial joy of learning that Xiao Yang had broken through to the Dou Sheng realm and was also a ninth-grade alchemist had long since vanished.

"Yang'er, do you think our Xiao family should go into hiding and find a place to conceal our identities?"

"Such a powerful family, we are no match for them at all!"

"Or, we old folks can stay here, and you can take Yan'er and the other young members of the family and find a place to hide and live in anonymity."

Xiao Zhan's words gave Xiao Yang an idea.

On the Dou Qi Continent, it is not easy to remain anonymous and not be found by the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan.

Even in such a remote northwestern continent, there are protectors outsourced by the Soul Palace.

It can be said that the entire Dou Qi Continent is filled with people from the Soul Palace.

If we really start looking, the chances of being discovered are quite high.

If the Soul Emperor hadn't failed to acquire the ancient jades from the other families over the years, the Xiao family might have been discovered long ago.

But what if you're hiding in the void?

Even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert can create a small space.

Xiao Yang's application of spatial power is much stronger than that of other Dou Sheng.

The small space he creates will be more stable, and the rules of heaven and earth will be more complete.

If Xiao Yang breaks through to the Dou Di level, he might even be able to create a true small world!

Therefore, he could easily create a small world in the void and let the Xiao family members live in it temporarily.

Anyway, given his cultivation speed, it will take him two or three years, or five or six years, to break through to the Dou Di realm.

It could even be faster!

The Xiao family members probably wouldn't refuse if it were just a matter of hiding for a few years.

Furthermore, Xiao Yang can also use the Strange Fire Tower to absorb energy in the void.

Once he had enough energy, he used the ninth-grade Xuan Dan to create a rain of pills within the space he had created.

In this way, the cultivation environment in that small space should be countless times better than that in Wutan City.
