#971 - Dragon King's Signal

Last night, the Soul Clan's formation suddenly rose up in the bases of the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Medicine Clan, trapping people from each clan and the Tianhe Alliance inside, and forcing the three clan leaders to hand over the ancient jade.

Of course, Lei Ying and the other two did want to resist and were thinking about other solutions, but the Soul Clan had obviously anticipated their thoughts and directly wiped out some of the people in the formation in front of them. They also warned Lei Ying and the other two that they would wipe out some of them every once in a while, forcing Lei Ying and the other two to make a decision as soon as possible.

The result, of course, was that the three clan leaders had no choice but to hand over the ancient jade in order to protect their own people.

Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, and after a long while he consoled in a deep voice.

"The three clan leaders don't have to blame yourselves. No one expected the Soul Clan to do this, let alone think they would do it so ruthlessly."

He directly threatened the clan leader with the lives of his clan members, determined to force Lei Ying and the others to fight to the death with the Soul Clan.

Gu Yuan on the side also had a serious look in his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"If we knew this in advance, maybe Sister Xiao Xuan could have solved it."

"That fellow Soul Emperor was obviously on guard against me. He came to a quick conclusion and didn't give us any chance to react, just like when he destroyed the Xiao clan."

Xiao Xuan raised his hand and pressed his neck, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At the beginning, the Soul Clan also fought the Xiao Clan quickly and decisively without any delay, because they were afraid that Gu Yuan would make up his mind to come and help.

Xiao Xuan also understood in his heart that Emperor Hun Tian would only take such swift and decisive actions on crucial matters, which meant that Emperor Hun Tian's unknown plan had reached the final step.

"According to my guess, Emperor Hun Tian should decide the final transaction location today." Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Xiao Yan, are you going to hand over the jade in your hand?"

This question made Xiao Yan silent.

The reason why he agreed to the deal so calmly yesterday was because Lei Ying and the other two still had a piece of ancient jade in their hands. Even if there were some secrets in the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, it would be useless if they only had the two pieces of ancient jade in Xiao Yan's hands.

But now, the ancient jades in the hands of Lei Ying and the other two have been taken away, and Emperor Hun Tian has collected six pieces of ancient jades, only the two pieces in Xiao Yan's hands are missing.

A white light flashed in Xiao Yan's hand. He stared at the ancient jade in his hand with a frown in thought. The entire conference room fell into silence.

After a long time, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at Xiao Xuan, nodding slightly.

"Hand it over." Xiao Yan held the ancient jade and said softly, "I don't deny that I have selfish motives, but from what happened last night, it can be seen that Emperor Hun Tian has begun to use all means to get the ancient jade. Even if I don't hand it over this time, she will find ways to use dirty means to force me to hand it over in the future."

"And the truth is, I can't defend it."

Xiao Yan's words undoubtedly stated the truth.

Xiao Yan now has too many things to consider and it is impossible to protect all aspects. If Xiao Yan still felt that he had not completely broken off relations with Emperor Hun Tian before yesterday, then his use of the ancient jade to force the three clan leaders to hand over the jade last night had already proved that Emperor Hun Tian had indeed begun to use any means necessary.

But when facing someone who will do anything to achieve his goal, no matter how much you think, it will be useless.

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Lei Ying became angrier and angrier, and then he slammed the table.

"Damn it! No, let's gather together and go after him now! Fight with his soul clan!"

"Father-in-law, I would like to agree with your point of view. We now have all the conditions, and we can indeed gather together to fight against the Soul Clan." Xiao Yan said this, and then paused, and said softly: "But before that, there is a problem."

"What's the problem?"

Lei Ying frowned, and Xiao Yan continued.

"Father-in-law, do you think Emperor Hun Tian cares about his people?"

"Of course she doesn't care!" Lei Ying answered without thinking, "If she really cared about her people, she wouldn't send them out to die one after another... Uh!"

Lei Ying's expression suddenly froze, and Xiao Yan knew that he understood, so he said softly.

"That's right, this is our current predicament, and it's also the only reason why we can't fight." Xiao Yan's eyes showed coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Emperor Hun Tian doesn't care about his own people at all, but we do."

Then Xiao Yan turned to look at Xiao Xuan and asked.

"Ancestor, if you were to fight Emperor Hun Tian one-on-one, could you defeat her?"

"It's hard to say. After all, they are both at the same level of strength. We won't know until we actually fight."

Xiao Xuan answered truthfully, and Xiao Yan continued to ask.

"Then if Emperor Hun Tian wants to escape, can you stop him?"

"I can't stop them." Xiao Xuan answered immediately, glancing at Lei Ying and the other two. "Let alone her, even if Lei Ying and the others were determined to escape from me, I can't guarantee that I can stop them 100%."

The peak of the late Nine-Star Fighting Saint stage is indeed the pinnacle of this world, without a doubt.

However, being unable to win does not mean that one cannot escape. In fact, even if Lei Ying and the other two were at the late eight-star Douluo stage and desperately wanted to escape from Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan would most likely not be able to stop them. At most, he would inflict serious injuries on them that would be difficult to heal, not to mention Emperor Hun Tian.

Xiao Yan nodded. The result was the same as he expected.

“Now that Emperor Hun Tian still has the Soul Clan behind him, whether she cares or not, it is more or less a shackle that restricts her.” Xiao Yan frowned and said in a deep voice: “Once the Soul Clan disappears and Emperor Hun Tian escapes from us, I don’t need to tell you the consequences, and you should all understand it.”

Xiao Yan’s words made everyone’s faces completely dark.

It's horrifying to think about a top-level warrior running around Zhongzhou all alone and without any worries.

At the same time, everyone suddenly understood one thing.

Destruction is much easier than protection.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door, which made Xiao Yan raise his eyebrows.

Judging from the sound, it seems that Zi Yan is complaining about something?

"Alright, alright, I'll go talk to Xiao Yan about this." Zi Yan pushed open the door, and when she saw Xiao Yan, she said directly: "Xiao Yan, someone wants to see you."

"Elder Zhuhuo, Elder Zhuli, long time no see."

Xiao Yan raised his hand to greet the two of them, and Zhu Huo and Zhu Li also saluted very respectfully.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I heard that Executor Xiao was trapped in the demon fire space. Now he is safe and sound. We, the Taixu Ancient Dragons, are very fortunate..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get straight to your business. Xiao Yan is very busy and has no time to waste with you."

Zi Yan urged unhappily, if Xiao Yan was just indifferent and slightly disgusted with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, then Zi Yan, who possessed the blood of the Dragon Emperor, simply hated the Taixu Ancient Dragons. If it weren't for Zhu Li and Hei Qing who really helped her a lot back then, Zi Yan wouldn't even want to see them now.

Zhuhuo and Zhuli were deeply saddened by Zi Yan's harsh words, but they could not say anything.

They all knew very well why Zi Yan hated them. It was not because they had not looked for Zi Yan for so many years, but because after Xiao Yan came to Zhongzhou, Taixu Ancient Dragon failed to come to help when Xiao Yan encountered troubles several times in a row. Instead, it caused Xiao Yan a lot of unnecessary troubles.

In Zi Yan's mind, if Xiao Yan had not been related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she didn't know how much trouble he could have saved.

Zhuhuo sighed deeply in his heart, then looked at Xiao Yan and said solemnly.

"Executor Xiao, there is a strange stone in the forbidden area of ​​Ancient Dragon Island that can connect to the souls of generations of clan leaders. Since the disappearance of Lord Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan's father, the stone has never lit up again." Zhu Huo briefly introduced it, and then his expression became solemn. "And just this morning, the strange stone suddenly lit up. Although it was only for a moment, it was definitely a message sent by Lord Dragon Emperor. We also found Lord Dragon Emperor's whereabouts through that message."

As Zhu Huo said this, Zhu Li on the side took out the map of Douqi Continent, and Zhu Huo pointed his finger at one of the places.

“It’s right here.”

"This is... huh?" Xiao Yan was slightly stunned and blurted out, "Canaan College?"

There is no doubt that the direction pointed by the candlelight is Canaan College in the northwest continent!

"We also know that both the Northwest Continent and the Central Continent are now under the management of the Tianhe Alliance. Although we want to look for it, as outsiders, it is not easy to search the local area. It will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, we have come to seek the consent of Executor Xiao."

Although we already know that Lord Dragon Emperor is located in Canaan College, we know that it is impossible to see him directly when we go there. We must conduct careful investigation to get clues, and we will definitely do something that will make the person in charge of Canaan College unhappy.

Of course, with the strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, they could naturally intervene by force, and Canaan Academy would not dare to say anything, but that would undoubtedly make Xiao Yan disgusted, so Zhuhuo came to tell Xiao Yan about this in advance.

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the candlelight and asked.

"Can you briefly tell me the information about the Dragon Emperor?"

"That's natural."

Zhuhuo nodded and introduced the information about the Dragon Emperor to Xiao Yan very carefully.

Although it is an introduction, there is not much to say. There are only two key points.

Zhu Kun, Zi Yan's father, the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, has been missing for thousands of years.

Another thing is Zhu Kun’s strength, which is at the peak of the late Nine-Star Douluo, the same as Xiao Xuan.

"Wow~ This is a good idea." Xiao Xuan stood behind Xiao Yan without knowing when, raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, the matter of the ancient jade may have a turn for the better."

In fact, Xiao Xuan didn't need to say much, the same thought immediately popped up in Xiao Yan's mind.

Who is Zhu Kun?

The Dragon Emperor of Taixu Ancient Dragon and Zi Yan's father.

What about Xiao Yan?

He helped Taixu Ancient Dragon solve a disaster, and now he is Zi Yan's husband.

No matter which of these two relationships is brought up, it is a huge favor.

Unless Zhu Kun is a completely ungrateful barbarian, even if he won't do his best for Xiao Yan, he will at least help Xiao Yan at the critical moment.

Xiao Yan's expression relaxed, with a hint of pleasure in his eyes. He once again felt that his luck was extremely good. In this most difficult period, a person suddenly appeared who could help solve the problem.

"Elder Zhuhuo, may I go with you to Canaan College to find the Dragon King?"

Xiao Yan clasped his fists towards Zhu Huo and asked. Zhu Huo was naturally happy and nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! If Executor Xiao is willing to go with us, it will definitely save us a lot of trouble."

Zhu Huo had lived for so many years, how could he not know what Xiao Yan was thinking? However, even though he knew Xiao Yan's thoughts, Zhu Huo did not object at all, for one reason only, because this would definitely only benefit them and not harm them.

Everyone has seen clearly what Xiao Yan's situation is now. He is an absolutely stable pillar. Not only is he strong, but his character is also absolutely trustworthy. Due to various things in the past, Xiao Yan's impression of Taixu Ancient Dragon has not been very good.

Zhu Huo had been discussing with Zhu Li how to save the relationship these days. Wasn't this a godsend? Even if they failed to find the Dragon King at Canaan College this time, they could still ease the relationship between Taixu Ancient Dragon and Xiao Yan. No matter what the result was, it would be a sure win.

"Thank you, Elder Zhuhuo." Xiao Yan responded softly, and then turned to look at Zi Yan, "Zi Yan, go call Lei Jing and Qing Han, and by the way, tell your sister Cai Lin that I'm going to Canaan College."

"knew."

Zi Yan responded, and then her figure disappeared instantly. However, after a while, Zi Yan carried Lei Jing and Gu Qinghan through the space and appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

After seeing Xiao Yan, Gu Qinghan immediately asked.

"Xiao Yan, why do you suddenly want to go to Canaan College?"

Xiao Yan gave a brief explanation, and Lei Jing and Gu Qinghan's eyes suddenly brightened. They immediately understood Xiao Yan's thoughts and nodded. Xiao Yan then turned to look at Xiao Xuan.

"Ancestor, I'm sorry to trouble you with the clan leaders."

"Well, don't worry, the Tianhe League will definitely show you good things."

Xiao Xuan said this proudly. She couldn't say this before when she used the flaming body, but now she said this with absolute 100% confidence. If something happened to the Tianhe Alliance with her presence, Xiao Xuan herself would feel ashamed of Gu Cuiliu's sacrifice.

Xiao Yan nodded, and then looked at the candlelight.

"Without further delay, Elder Candlelight, we will set off now."

"Wait, let's go too."

Suddenly a voice was heard. Xiao Yan turned around and saw Nalan Yanran and Xun'er walking towards him, which made Xiao Yan slightly stunned.

I learned from Yun Yun yesterday that Nalan Yanran had woken up, but I was busy all day and had no time to see her.

When they saw Xun'er, the expressions of Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing changed, and they looked away guiltily.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Xun'er immediately understood one thing.

Not only Gu Qinghan, but also Lei Jing.

Although she felt helpless, after what Nalan Yanran said yesterday, Xun'er no longer had much resentment in her heart, and instead became more determined.

Before Xiao Yan could say anything, Nalan Yanran continued.

"We two can't help much in the Tianhe League, so we'll go with you this time, maybe we can be of use to you."

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

Nalan Yanran was right. The Soul Clan was in turmoil right now, and who knows what conspiracy there might be. There was no need to worry as Xiao Xuan and the others were watching over the Tianhe Alliance. She also had to do her best to ensure that no accidents would happen on her side, so she nodded slightly.

"Okay, thank you for your help then."
