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

Having witnessed the battle a thousand years ago, Gu Ming and Gu Yue had long since etched Xiao Xuan's image into their minds.

In addition, some of the younger elders of the ancient clans also recognized Xiao Xuan's identity.

Because many of these elders had entered the Heavenly Tomb.

They certainly knew Xiao Xuan, the strongest person in the Heavenly Tomb.

"This is... Xiao Xuan?!"

"How is that possible? How could an energy being leave the Heavenly Tomb?"

"Why is Xiao Xuan here?!"

"Why can he, an energy being, leave the Heavenly Tomb?"

Many of the ancient clan elders looked at Xiao Xuan with some shock.

Just then, they also heard Xiao Xuan's voice.

"Gu Yuan, come here!"

Although many elders were at odds with Gu Yuan, most of them were loyal to the ancient clan.

It's just that their ideas differ somewhat from Gu Yuan's.

As the patriarch of the ancient tribe, Gu Yuan also represents the face of the tribe.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's commanding tone was seen by them as a provocation against their ancient clan!

"Hmph! So what if he's Xiao Xuan? Let's all attack him together!"

"That's right! How dare he provoke our ancient clan! Kill him and take the energy crystal!"

"It's just an energy entity that temporarily escaped from the Heavenly Tomb using some unknown method. There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of!"

"As the first person a thousand years ago, Xiao Xuan might still have some good stuff on him. This time we can see for ourselves!"

After recognizing Xiao Xuan, these ancient clan elders, except for some powerful figures who had existed for thousands of years, still showed a hint of fear in their eyes.

The remaining elders, who were younger and had lower cultivation levels, were only slightly puzzled when they saw Xiao Xuan, but showed no fear whatsoever.

They had also heard of Xiao Xuan's legend, but they also knew that Xiao Xuan had long since died and become an energy entity in the Heavenly Tomb.

They knew that the energy entities inside the Heavenly Tomb were not very strong.

If they hadn't only possessed the cultivation level of a Dou Zun when they entered the Heavenly Tomb, they could have even attempted to hunt Xiao Xuan's energy crystals!

……

When Xiao Yang and Xiao Xuan came out, they saw the large formation set up by the elders of the ancient clan.

At that moment, they both knew that they had made the right choice.

If the ancient tribes don't want to get along with them, then they don't need to worry about feelings too much.

The two completely ignored the grand formation set up by the ancient clan elders.

With their Emperor-level souls, the two of them could naturally discover that the strongest elders here were only two Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

Everything else is just dirt and rubble to them!

Chapter 559 Take Action!

As for the grand formation set up by the ancient clan elders, the two were not too worried.

Xiao Xuan had many ways to escape, not to mention Xiao Yang.

So the two of them simply ignored the situation before them.

After sending a message throughout the entire ancient realm, Xiao Xuan looked at the ancient clan elders who were setting up an array in front of him.

He had met many of these people before.

Some of them were seen a thousand years ago, while others were seen in the Heavenly Tomb.

"Were they already setting up this formation before you entered the Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yang beside him and asked.

"No, they only cheated me out of three grade nine pills. We'll just make them spit them out later."

"They probably covet the ninth-grade golden elixir I possess."

"After all, when I refined that ninth-grade golden pill, it caused quite a stir."

Xiao Yang remained calm, as if he wasn't the one surrounded by the formation.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the ancient clans not only break their promise, but now they're going to steal your pills too."

"That way I'll feel a little better when the fight starts."

Xiao Xuan said with some emotion.

A thousand years ago, he and Gu Yuan were close friends.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Gu Yuan to help take care of the Xiao clan.

If it weren't for his relationship with Gu Yuan, he wouldn't have entrusted the Xiao Clan's cultivation techniques and fighting skills to the Gu Clan.

Therefore, Xiao Xuan was still somewhat hesitant when he thought about taking action against the ancient clans.

But now, he will no longer hesitate.

Regardless of his relationship with Gu Yuan, and regardless of Gu Yuan's attitude.

However, at least he knew that these elders of the ancient clans were no good!

The two looked at the large formation that enveloped them, but showed no intention of making any move.

The ancient clan elders made no other move at the moment, but stared intently at Xiao Yang and his companion.

They also heard what Xiao Xuan said earlier, and the commotion here was quite significant.

They knew that Gu Yuan would definitely be coming over soon.

With things having reached this point, Gu Yuan could no longer try to dissuade them.

It's impossible for Xiao Yang to remain calm and make a deal with them.

Now that the die is cast, Gu Yuan has no choice but to stand on their side.

In that case, it would be better for them to wait for Gu Yuan to arrive.

After all, the strongest among the ancient clans was still Gu Yuan.

With Gu Yuan, a nine-star Dou Sheng, in charge, they will be more stable.

In addition, they also sent someone to call Guile to come and help.

They knew that Guile would disdain doing such a thing.

But since they've become enemies, Gu Lie has no choice but to help them.

After all, that's how families are; they'll always side with their own relatives, regardless of right or wrong.

Even if it's justified, it's only possible that the other party has mastered absolute physics!

Gu Yuan arrived here very quickly.

Looking around at everything, Gu Yuan's expression turned somewhat grim.

Immediately afterwards, he also saw Xiao Xuan opposite him.

He forced out an awkward smile.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, it's been a long time. Why did you leave the Heavenly Tomb?"

"You live by the rules of the Heavenly Tomb. If you don't return to the Heavenly Tomb for a long time, your soul may be scattered."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan revealed a disdainful smile.

"You still have the nerve to call me 'big brother'?"

"Do you still keep the promise made a thousand years ago?"

"For thousands of years, I have been waiting for the arrival of the descendants of the Xiao clan."

"But I never got to see it."

"I originally thought you were just hiding me to prevent the Soul Clan from discovering me."

"But I never imagined they would decline so drastically and become a small family on the edge of the continent?!"

"If Xiao Yang hadn't come in, I wouldn't have known!"

"Is this the promise you made to me?!"

"My purpose in coming out today is very simple."

"Since you haven't kept my promise, then return what belongs to the Xiao family!"

Gu Yuan's face was somewhat stiff at this moment, and he could only force a smile as he spoke.

"I had already promised Clan Chief Xiao that I would return the Xiao Clan's cultivation techniques and fighting skills to you."

"How about we go to my place and talk first?"

Xiao Yang then spoke up.

"The ancient clan chief's idea is not bad, but it seems that the elders in your clan do not think so."

"I see that the elders of your ancient clan gave me a very grand welcoming ceremony!"

"I never expected to see such a big event as soon as I left the Heavenly Tomb."

"It seems that the elders of the ancient clan are indeed kind-hearted."

Xiao Yang's face was full of sarcasm.

Gu Qi looked at Xiao Yang with a very gloomy expression.

"Chieftain, why waste words with them?"

"We are ready!"

"Today, let us join forces to defeat Xiao Yang and Xiao Xuan, seize the ninth-grade golden core and energy crystal, and make our ancient clan great again!"
