The Battle Through Heaven
The Settling Xiao Clan
” Alright, I will ask Fa Ma to help .. ” Hai Bodong also sighed in relief when he saw that/that Xiao Yan bears the responsibility of handling this way. As long as they got rid of Gu He, they would be able to cause the Misty Cloud Sect to lose an enormous amount of help.
” I will leave the problem of contacting the others to Old Hai. In addition, please help me arrange for these people to rest well. They did not have a peaceful rest during this long journey from ‘Black-Corner’ Region. ’Xiao Yan stood up and pointed at Lin Yan and the others as he smiled and spoke to Hai Bodong.
’Ke Ke, this is something we have to do. Of course, our Primer clan must accept such an esteemed guest, who has arrived, appropriately. ’’Old Hai smiles and nods.
Xiao Yan smiled, turned his gaze towards Xiao Ding and suddenly said, ” I think I should probably go and meet the clan members of the Xiao clan .. ”
’’ This is something you should do. The First Elder instructed you to become the Clan Head right before he died. The clan member has waited two years for you to return .. ’’ Xiao Ding nodded slightly as he slowly spoke.
Xiao Yan was silent. He immediately nodded his head calmly. No matter what, his clan's blood flowed in his bones. Therefore, letting this clan prosper was a responsibility that he could not get rid of. Perhaps this was also his father's hope …
Xiao Yan and Xiao Li pushed Xiao Ding as they quietly slipped out the manor of the Primer clan. After which, they turned to the street inside the capital, followed the path, and slowly headed in a certain direction.
The soul-shaking great battle earlier was being hotly discussed by the entire capital at this moment. Some people are so excited that/that they are dancing with reddened faces, bragging to passers-by about how they have witnessed the events from such a close distance earlier. However, the people who were attracted by this enchanting battle did not find that/it was the main character of the story walking calmly past them.
They pushed Xiao Ding and rejected several different paths before the noise behind them gradually lessened. The number of luxury homes around is also decreasing. Clearly, they were heading to a rather remote area of the city.
They once again turned into an uneven path and a somewhat old and broken compound appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes. He could faintly hear some of the laughter of the children sent from the compound.
”It's here. To escape from this year's quest for the Misty Cloud Sect, we can only hide in remote places even with the protection of the Primer clan. ’’ Xiao Ding smiled and said while looking at the large complex.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly while Xiao Li quickly walked forward and pushed the door open.
Some children were playing around inside the slum complex. Laughter is repeatedly emitted. At this moment, there were more than ten ordinary-clothed men inside the complex. These people carry weapons on their backs. They turned their gazes and were very careful. The life of a refugee these few years caused the members of the Xiao clan to stop having such a rich and relaxed aura. Instead there is additional sharpness.
The sudden opening of the complex door also instantly caught the attention of these people. Their faces soon changed slightly. Human figures flashed and caught children wandering around and placed them behind. After which, they pulled their shining weapons from behind and aimed them towards the outside of the complex.
Ha ha, no need to worry .. ’
That familiar laugh caused all of them to relax like everyone became anxious. Following which, numerous gazes swept towards the three human figures at the entrance.
Xiao Yan pushed Xiao Ding and slowly entered this seedy complex. His gaze swept across a somewhat familiar face. These people have a blood relationship with him …
’’ Everyone, see who's back. ’’ Xiao Ding looked at everyone and laughed.
All the clan members were stunned when they heard this. Their gazes instantly shifted to the black-robed young man behind him. Everyone was shocked when they saw that young face. It was some time later before a wave of wild joy suddenly erupted within the complex.
’’ The young master Xiao Yan! ’’
’’ This is really young master Xiao Yan. He's really back! ’
” Ha ha, finally there is hope for the Xiao clan. Hurry up, go and get the third Elder and the others! ’
Xiao Yan looked at the actual members of the Xiao clan somewhat confused due to the wild joy that suddenly erupted. He exchanged glances with Xiao Li by his side and warm smiles appeared on their faces. After wandering around and gaining experience for so many years, he finally felt as if he had returned home after reaching this place.
The door to the house inside the complex was quickly opened while everyone cried with wild joy. An old man immediately came out with anxious footsteps. After which, his gaze quickly locked onto the black-robed man in the complex. He looked at that familiar face and the third Elder, whose irritable character had been gushed through all these years, was unable to control his tears flowing out. They have finally survived to this day.
’’ It is not difficult, not difficult. The young master must have suffered more than us after wandering outside for so many years. ” Third Elder rubbed his tears and replied.
The members around the Xiao clan were also unable to control their eyes. They turned red when they saw the emotional third Elder. Although the Xiao clan was not considered a famous and powerful clan back then, they still had a very good position within Wu Tan City. Unfortunately, within a few short years, the clan was rapidly declining. They, who were originally enough to live comfortably, had fled everywhere, always worried that/it was a tragedy that happened one night would happen once again.
” I will let the Misty Cloud Sect pay back many times more than what they owe to our Xiao clan. ” Xiao Yan gently patted the shoulder of the third Elder and spoke in a soft and deep voice. His voice contained anger and killing intent that was hard to hide. He had the responsibility that/that he could not break away for Xiao Yan to end up this way!
’Ke Ke, Little Young Master is really capable. The clan head really has an eye for people. He's so much better than us, three old men who won't die. Back then ... ke, the first and second Elders had told me to apologize for our foolish actions towards the little young master back then before they died … ” The third elder laughed but his voice was a bit hoarse.
Xiao Yan pressed his lips tightly. Xiao Yan could not help but feel his nose becoming somewhat acidic in this solemn and desolate atmosphere. If his father came back and saw that/that the Xiao clan had changed shape, it was likely that his father would be very disappointed in him, right?
” Third Elder, you should not mention those things back then in the future. We all have the same blood. In the future, our goal is to take revenge and revitalize the Xiao clan. ’’Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and softly spoke.
’Ke Ke, we will not talk about it, we will not talk about it. According to the instructions that the first and second Elders gave before they died, the little young master was the current head of the Xiao clan. Every clan member will obey your orders. The old me can help enforce the rules of the clan for anyone who refuses to accept it! ” The gaze of the third Elder suddenly became loud as he spoke up to this point. Serious voice.
” I think that big brother is more suitable for the position of the head of this clan .. ” Xiao Yan hurriedly spoke when he heard this.
” Third Brother, you can't refuse any longer. These were the last words of the first and second Elders and they were irreversible. Moreover, only you have the ability to lead the Xiao clan to prosper once again. ’’ Xiao Ding shook his head and spoke with a smile.
” That's right, third brother, you are the only one who can take the position of Clan Head. Relax, brother and I will help you. ” Xiao Li also laughed.
Hearing the encouragement from the two and seeing the many sincere gazes of the surrounding clan members, Xiao Yan could only stop the futile evasion and said, ” In this case, Xiao Yan could only stop the futile evasion, I will take care of the position of this Clan Head of the Xiao clan for now. We will talk about who is the best fit in the future. ’
The surrounding clan members immediately emitted waves of cheers when they saw Xiao Yan nod in agreement. They had an unknown belief towards Xiao Yan. Moreover, with what they had realized in the great battle in the sky earlier, they did not have the slightest hesitation in the strength formed. They believed that/it under the leadership of Xiao Yan, the Xiao clan would definitely become stronger than in the past.
Xiao Yan pressed his hand on the illusion of ion air and suppressed the excitement. His eyes looked at his surroundings as he asked, ‘’How many clan members are left in the Xiao clan? What is their strength like? ’
’’ There are still two hundred eight people. If we get rid of the women and children, who have no fighting ability, we still have around a hundred and forty people. Most of them were either Dou Zhe or Dou Shi class. Even I am only a four star Dou Ling .. ” Said the third Elder.
Xiao Yan softly sighed when he heard this. In the past, the Xiao clan did not possess a powerful Qi Method and Dou Technique, nor did it have the help of a good medicinal pill. It was natural that/it was their training very slow. This kind of strength was indeed not worth mentioning in front of the Misty Cloud Sect.
” This place does not seem to have more than two hundred people? ” Xiao Yan looked around him and wondered in a loud voice.
” We have secretly formed a mercenary group that used to earn extra income and to help train clan members. Therefore, most of them are usually scattered to complete their tasks. ’” Third Elder quickly replied.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He turned to Xiao Li and said, ‘Both brothers, I will leave the training of the clan members to you. You can make any request to me. In addition, change the place of residence into a better place. The Xiao clan no longer needed to hide and linger to survive in the future .. ’’
”Iya no problem. However, my training method is not something that ordinary people can endure. I wonder if anyone is afraid? ” Xiao Li nodded and instantly swept the gaze of the clan members as he spoke in a serious manner.
’Young Master Xiao Li, my son died by the hands of the Misty Cloud Sect. You tell me, what am I afraid to gain strength? You can only train us to death. Those who die because they cannot survive, deserve it! ” Quite a number of people with joyful faces within the Xiao clan were shouting in excitement as soon as Xiao Li's words sounded.
Xiao Li nodded slightly. He felt quite satisfied with the courage of the members of the Xiao clan. One can practice if one has no strength. If one did not even have the guts, one would only become weak no matter how one trained. Right now, the Xiao clan needed people who dared to risk their lives to fight and not some weaklings!
” Second brother, you also have to send some members of ‘Xiao’ Gate to the city. Right now, the Xiao clan did indeed need protection. ” Xiao Yan mused for a moment before speaking to Xiao Li.
” Aye, leave the matter of the Xiao clan to your elder brother and me. What you need to do now is prepare to deal with the Misty Cloud Sect. This is the most important thing we have to do. If we can defeat the Misty Cloud Sect, the reputation of the Xiao clan will definitely soar. If we are defeated, we will truly go beyond redemption. ’’ Xiao Li nodded, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and spoke in a deep voice.
