Xiao Zhan returned to the Soul Hall. As soon as he stepped out of the passage, he saw three enormous dragon heads surrounding him. Three pairs of dragon eyes twinkled with innocence and curiosity, staring intently at him.
He was initially startled, but then he relaxed—they were just three two-star Dou Sheng level magical beasts, not worth getting nervous about.
"Who are you? What brings you to my Soul Hall?" Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice.
However, the three Dragon Phoenixes' first words stunned him.
"Grandpa…"
"Grandpa…"
"Grandpa…"
Xiao Zhan: “?”
He subconsciously looked at Xiao Yan beside him, his heart filled with doubt.
Ding'er and Li'er have been by my side all these years. If they really had children, it's unlikely they wouldn't tell me. Then Yan'er is the most likely suspect…
Xiao Yan looked at his father's astonished expression and explained with a smile, "They are my children."
Xiao Zhan's expression froze, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind…
Wait, who is the children's mother? Dragon Phoenix? I annihilated the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, wouldn't that affect my own daughter-in-law?
He became nervous and glanced at Xiao Huo and the others with some unease, cautiously asking, "Their mother is…"
"It's Xiao Meng." Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, looking somewhat lost.
Xiao Meng… Isn't she a member of the A Meng Clan? How could she give birth to Dragon Phoenixes? Xiao Zhan couldn't help but start to speculate wildly.
"Things are a bit complicated, I'll explain later, Dad. Let me introduce you… uh…" Xiao Yan suddenly felt a little awkward, realizing he couldn't tell who was who.
He looked at his daughters and said, "Introduce yourselves to Grandpa."
"I'm Xiao Huo, the second eldest sister," the Dragon Phoenix on the far left said.
"I'm Xiao Yan, the third eldest sister," the Dragon Phoenix in the middle said.
"I'm Xiao Yi, the fourth sister," the Dragon Phoenix on the right said.
As soon as they finished speaking, they transformed into human form, turning into three beautiful and naturally alluring young women.
The three of them said in unison:
"Originally, there was also an eldest sister, Xiao Xiao, but she wasn't happy and ran away."
"Four… quadruplets?" Xiao Zhan was stunned.
"Dad, didn't I say before that I had someone important to introduce you to? It's them…" Xiao Yan revealed a smile.
Xiao Zhan felt that his mind was a bit muddled… Yan'er's four daughters look quite old, did he start harming young girls so early?
"Little lecher is still a little lecher," Xiao Yu complained from the side.
"The big sister back then was still so young, how could you do it!" Xiao Ning said with heartache, looking at Xiao Yan with the eyes of someone viewing scum.
"Pervert!" Xiao Qing said bluntly.
Xiao Yan's face darkened, and he explained that Xiao Huo and the others couldn't be judged by normal standards, their growth was affected by A Meng.
"A Meng? He also intervened, how come I don't know?" Xiao Zhan asked in confusion.
"Not the A Meng Clan leader who signed the alliance treaty with the Xiao Clan, it's another one, very powerful, he claims to be a traitor not recognized by the A Meng Clan," Xiao Yan explained.
Just then, a starlight projected from Xiao Zhan's body, forming an A Meng phantom wearing a white robe, a white pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye.
He said in a calm tone, "That was the past, now he has the same status as me, and is already another clan leader of the A Meng Clan. Perhaps in the near future, I will abdicate to make way for him."
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed. There are quite a few clansmen following them now, not just those core members, but also some ordinary clansmen.
Some things cannot be said in public, especially the possibility that the most important ally might lose power in their clan, which could bring a devastating crisis to the Xiao Clan.
He immediately said, "I'll talk about it later, let's go back to the main hall first… Xiao Yu, arrange the search for Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling."
"I understand, Clan Leader," Xiao Yu replied seriously.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say that he actually knew the location of the cave dwelling, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back down.
It's good to send people to search, at least it can confuse the Soul Clan.
The clansmen dispersed one after another, Xiao Yan sent his daughters to find Yao Lao, and then followed Xiao Zhan to a hall.
"Have you met the other A Meng? What kind of person is he?" Xiao Zhan's expression was serious.
"Because I always regarded him as a traitor before, I didn't introduce him too much to my allies."
"I see…" Xiao Yan thought for a moment, organizing his words and said, "I should have met him many times, but he officially met me as 'A Meng' very few times.
"As for the impression, in short, he is a very mysterious and powerful person. He has taken care of me a lot, and has given me a lot of help in various identities and appearances. He can be regarded as my teacher."
Xiao Yan still admitted that A Meng was his teacher. Of course, it was different from the teacher-father relationship like Yao Chen, but somewhere between Yao Chen and the teachers of Canaan Academy.
"That's good…"
With the relationship between Yan'er and the other A Meng, even if the A Meng Clan leader changes, it shouldn't affect the relationship between the two clans. At least there shouldn't be a big impact in the short term… Xiao Zhan thought to himself.
Although the white A Meng Clan leader had also told him before that the alliance would continue, Xiao Zhan had actually been very anxious about this issue.
With the current state of the Xiao Clan, if they lose the support of the A Meng Clan, destruction will be imminent.
"By the way, Dad, don't send too many people to search for Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling. Just send out some forces to put on a show and perfunctorily deal with the Soul Clan," Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow: "Why is that? On the matter of finding the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling, our expectations should be the same as the Soul Clan's."
Xiao Yan touched his nose: "I seem to already know where it is. I've been to that magma world before."
"What?" Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Good, good… This way, we don't have to worry about those Soul Clan guys deceiving us and getting there first."

Xiao Yan smiled: "Please keep it a secret for now, Dad. I'm going to refine the flames I got from the Yan Clan, and then go to the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling to explore."
"Okay, then we'll do as you say."
The white A Meng said: "The plan is at the final moment, I hope you don't forget the agreement between us."
Xiao Yan said seriously: "I will abide by the alliance agreement. After becoming Emperor, I will take you to the Great Thousand World… I have a reason why I must go to that world."
The white A Meng phantom disappeared with a smile.
Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Yan'er, I also have someone I want you to meet."
He moved his mouth, and his voice accurately entered the ears of a person in a certain room.
After a while, a somewhat enchanting woman walked over, wearing a deep purple velvet long dress, the skirt falling like flowing water, and a snow-white fur shawl draped over her shoulders, the soft fur tips trembling gently with the airflow caused by her walking.
"Xiao Lang, is this the most outstanding child you always talk about?" The woman walked to Xiao Zhan's side, her eyes flowing with autumn waves.
Looking at this woman who was seven or eight points similar to Soul Fiend, but even more enchanting, Xiao Yan said with some doubt:
"Uh… Mom?"
"Xiao Lang, your child is really interesting. Sure enough, he is more lovable than my two worrying guys." Soul Honey giggled.
Xiao Zhan's old face turned red, and he said a little shyly: "Yes, this is… that… Yan'er, you guessed it, this is Honey, we fell in love at first sight."
I don't know how many times I've called her Mom in the Samsara Illusion… Xiao Yan complained in his heart.
He didn't resist too much to this suddenly appearing stepmother and quickly accepted her.
He chuckled and said, "My mother has been dead for many years, and Dad also has the right to pursue happiness, it's just that she… what is her relationship with Soul Fiend? She seems to be from the Soul Clan, right?"
Soul Honey smiled softly: "My name is Soul Honey, and I'm Soul Fiend's mother… Well, I originally wanted to match you and that child, but you don't seem to be very compatible."
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched… Originally, she and Soul Fiend got along well, but after she discovered that the Fallen Heart Flame had fallen into her hands, she began to yell and kill him, and was chased and hacked all the way in the second layer of the Heavenly Tomb.
Soul Honey continued: "Although I am a member of the Soul Clan, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, when you marry a dog, follow the dog… I am now in the Xiao Clan, and my heart is also in the Xiao Clan… In short, I am Xiao Lang's person."
Saying that, she looked at Xiao Zhan and called out affectionately: "Xiao Lang…"
"Honey…"
Looking at the two of them being so lovey-dovey, Xiao Yan's face twitched again, and he said:
"Soul Fiend is still in the Soul Clan, and we will inevitably have a battle with the Soul Clan… If we meet on the battlefield…"
"Oh, that, it doesn't matter. Soul Fiend, and her brother Soul Mire… Well, if you meet them, spare their lives if you have the spare strength, and it doesn't matter if you kill them if you don't have the spare strength." Soul Honey waved her hand, seemingly not very concerned about this matter.
This style is similar to that in the Reincarnation Illusion… Poor Soul Fiend… Xiao Yan muttered in his heart.
"Can't they come to our Xiao Clan?" Although Soul Honey said it didn't matter, Xiao Yan still didn't dare not take it to heart.
Soul Honey replied: "They are all adults, they have their own choices. Moreover, that kid Soul Mire is impossible to come over, except for the Clan Leader and Void Swallowing Flame."
"Within the Soul Clan, almost no one holds a higher position than him. The Xiao Clan couldn't possibly offer him more, which is why even though the Clan Leader knows I've run to the Xiao Clan, he still trusts him implicitly."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yan said no more.
He didn't linger there. After leaving, he exited the main hall and opened the Gate of the Heavenly Tomb on a nearby open space.
