#707 - Did I kill Xiao Meng?
As Xiao Yan pondered, he couldn't contain the agitation within, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Why did Xiao Meng die? Since you, Father, are the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls, why didn't you save her?"
Mentioning this, Xiao Zhan also showed a hint of anger, he clenched his fist, then released it.
With a gloomy face, he said in a low voice:
"Because of you… As the patriarch of the Xiao clan, I can't let personal feelings affect the overall situation of the Xiao clan… There are many things to consider.
"But I have always kept Xiao Meng in my heart… For her, I can even slightly deviate the plan.
"Why do you think I took the position of Hall Master of the Hall of Souls? It was what I exchanged with the Xiao clan's ancient jade…"
"But this identity is just a trouble, and it's not a good thing for the entire family. You should know how infamous the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls is in the Central Plains…"
"I became the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls, firstly, to make Hun Tiandi believe in my determination to cooperate with him. Secondly, to rescue the souls of those Amon clan members who were captured.
"At the same time, I can also use this as a reason to take the soul origins collected by the Hall of Souls, which have not yet been transferred to the Hun clan, as an extra gift… This is to arrange opportunities for you when you attack the Hall of Souls one day…"
"In addition, the most important point is that Xiao Meng is also in the Hall of Souls, and she will be transferred to our Xiao clan as part of the Hall of Souls' assets.
"I have always regarded her as my own, treated her like a daughter, how could I not want to save her?"
Xiao Zhan's voice contained undisguised regret.
Xiao Yan's expression froze, and he said blankly: "Then… then why…"
Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Because of you…"
"The transfer takes time, and the Hun clan can't really hand over the Hall of Souls to us completely.
"I have been urging them to do it as soon as possible, but it was still a step too late… If you had been more patient, less impulsive, and made more preparations… Xiao Meng wouldn't have died!
"Originally, she could have been safely transferred from the Hun clan, but because you took action before the transfer, this tragedy happened!
"The Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Souls told me that when Hun Yi used that suicidal move, he originally wanted to come down to save you, but the Medicine Saint misunderstood him and stopped him."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief:
"Because… of me?
"I killed Xiao Meng? If I had thought more before acting, and made decisions less rashly, Xiao Meng wouldn't have died?
"It was me, it was me who killed Xiao Meng?
"…Hahahaha…"
Xiao Yan's eyes were dull, and then he laughed like a madman, his laughter filled with unspeakable sorrow and regret.
"It was me… It was me who killed Xiao Meng…" He hugged his head and knelt on the ground in pain.
Even though he was already an Eight-Star Dou Sheng, one of the most powerful people in this world, at this moment, he was still as helpless as a child.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, and he knocked his head hard on the ground, using the pain in his body to divert the psychological pain, but the pain in his heart did not diminish at all, but became even stronger.
"Why… why is this happening?"
The Spirit Devouring Bug parasitizing in Xiao Zhan's body grinned and let out a silent mockery.
The Amons, scattered all over the world and appearing in different guises, adjusted the monocle made of crystal on their right eyes in slightly different postures, and raised the corners of their mouths to outline a smile.
"Wahahaha…" The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King with a white circle on its right eye rolled on the ground laughing.
"Little Lion, what's wrong?" Xiao Qing, who was grooming its fur, looked puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something very funny."
Xiao Qing drooped his eyelids, accustomed to the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's occasional erratic behavior.
Looking at Xiao Yan's distorted face, as if he were crazy, a trace of heartache flashed in Xiao Zhan's heart, but he suppressed it.
What he said was all true…
If Xiao Yan only hated himself, then Xiao Zhan would probably bear all of this to prevent Xiao Yan's mentality from being affected, affecting his breakthrough to Dou Di. But Xiao Yan would also hate the Xiao clan at the same time.
The family has paid so much, the Dou Di they cultivated cannot hate the family… so Xiao Zhan had to tell Xiao Yan the truth.
Although this was a bit cruel to him…
"Alas, Yan'er, calm down yourself, the Amon patriarch told me that Xiao Meng might still be saved… This requires you to break through to Dou Di and go to the Great Thousand World…"
After saying a word of comfort, Xiao Zhan slowly left the room, leaving Xiao Yan alone.
After a long time, Xiao Yan knelt in place for a long time like a statue…
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly a slight sound rang out beside him.
Xiao Yan seemed to have lost his self-awareness, and his dull eyes instinctively looked to the side.
"Ehehehe, Cousin Xiao Yan." Xiao Qing's head poked out from behind a huge stone pillar.
"Cousin Xiao Yan…" Xiao Mei's head poked out from above Xiao Qing.
A fist suddenly landed on Xiao Yan's face, knocking him to the ground.
Xiao Yu straddled Xiao Yan's body and punched him in the face again and again.
"Uh… Sister…" Xiao Ning scratched the back of his head, a little at a loss.
"Little pervert, look at what you look like now? That's right, you do bear the greatest pressure and the hopes of the entire clan, but do you think the pressure on others is less?
Xiao Yu grabbed his collar and said fiercely.
"Don't you consider Uncle Clan Leader? In order to give you a chance to break through to Dou Di, he has even prepared to lead the entire clan to risk their lives to stop the Hun clan!
"Do you think the pressure on him is less than yours when he makes this decision?
"My grandfather, Second Elder, Third Elder… are willing to follow the Clan Leader and die for you, you little pervert, what do you think they are doing it for?
"Are you just going to put on this half-dead attitude to respond to everyone in the family's expectations of you?
"Xiao Meng is gone, then you go and get her back? Are you that short of women?
"What, you still don't have any reaction after being beaten like this by me? Where has your bloodiness gone? Didn't you kid used to say you wanted to rape me? Come on!"
The fist that Xiao Yu was throwing down was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and she panicked when she looked at Xiao Yan, who was looking at her expressionlessly from below.
What does this little pervert want to do? Why did he react when I said this sentence?
Xiao Yan gave her a reluctant smile:
"I know… I won't give up on myself, I will use my own hands to bring Xiao Meng back… I know where she is, I just need to pay enough price.
"Sorry… I made you worry. And… thank you."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Xiao Yan looked directly at Xiao Yu and said seriously.
"I just wanted to take the opportunity to beat you up." Xiao Yu snorted twice.
She let go of Xiao Yan, stood up, clapped her hands, and said:
"In short, do your best, we will also try our best to help you… Young Clan Leader!"
"Cousin Xiao Yan, do your best, I still want to drink your and Sister Xiao Meng's wedding wine!" Xiao Qing made a fist at him to cheer him on.
"Cousin, do your best!" Xiao Mei's eyes were bright.
"Do your best, bring Boss Xiao Meng back!" Xiao Ning said with a smile.
"Do your best, I don't admit that I will lose to a self-abandoned waste!" Xiao Ke folded his arms around his chest and said in a low voice.
Xiao Yan stood up, straightened his clothes, and brushed the flame-composed hair hanging down from his head to the side, giving them a smile:
"I will win, Xiao Meng is still waiting for me."
"Meng ya!" Qing Meng jumped out from his shoulder, seemingly happy for Xiao Yan's recovery as well.
From an angle that no one could see, a trace of depth flashed in the depths of its eyes.
……
Deep in the Soul Realm, on a huge square, a dark figure sat in the center, surrounded by hundreds of bright light clusters of various sizes.
These light clusters are all pure soul origins! The accumulation of the Hall of Souls for thousands of years!
Black flames surged out from Void Swallowing Flame, and strands of flame fell on the light clusters like raindrops.
Tiny flames gathered into black vortexes, like miniature black holes.
A terrifying attraction erupted from the black vortexes, devouring all the soul origins.
This process lasted for quite a while, and Hun Xuzi, the clan elder of the Hun clan who was closest to Void Swallowing Flame, waited respectfully by the side.
After an unknown amount of time, a vast soul fluctuation spread throughout the entire Soul Realm.
The surging soul power, like a vast ocean, covered the entire sky mightily.
Hun Tiandi, who was sitting at the stone table in the bamboo forest, sipping tea, paused, put down his teacup, tilted his head slightly to look in the direction of Void Swallowing Flame, and said with a smile: "Not bad!"
The Three Clan Allied Forces were not to be feared, but the Xiao clan did put some pressure on him. Especially since he had also lost the Four Demon Saints before…
It was also good news for him that Void Swallowing Flame could break through to the Emperor Realm soul at this time.
……
In the Ancient Clan, Gu Tongxuan knelt on one knee in front of Gu Yuan, his expression respectful.
A trace of helplessness flashed in his heart. The previous Clan Leader was so gentle and treated the clansmen with courtesy. Even the most ordinary clansmen only needed to ask him politely when they saw him.
But since Miss Xun'er passed away, the Clan Leader has become more and more indifferent, and his power has increased day by day.
He said in a low voice: "The latest news is that near the Heavenly Hall of the Hall of Souls, terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations erupted, and it seems that Xiao Yan was fighting with the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls.
"However, because the battle at that level was too terrifying, the people who went to investigate did not dare to get too close, and they did not know the outcome of the battle."
Gu Yuan nodded, and said without joy or sorrow: "I know, you may leave."
"Yes." Gu Tongxuan stood up and slowly left.
Gu Yuan's emotionless pupils carried an icy chill, and he murmured in a low voice: "Hun Tiandi…"
Now that things have come to this, he also knows that the Ancient Clan and the Hun Clan are destined to fight to the death, so he can no longer worry about the casualties of the clansmen and must be cruel…
Even if the sacrifice is great, he cannot retreat!
