Chapter 264 Xiao Xuan's Tomb
On the gray land, Xiao Yun and his group were running quickly, and leading the way in front was the Blood Sword Saint holding a ghost-head broadsword."This guy...Brother Xiao Yun, what exactly did you do? I thought you were going to take action just now." Gu Qingyang asked in a low voice, looking at the blood-colored figure in front of him surrounded by a domineering aura.
"There is no means. Perhaps, he knew my Xiao clan ancestor more than just before he was alive."
Xiao Yun replied casually, but he knew in his heart that the Blood Knife Saint had such a big change, it must be because of Xiao Xuan.
"Not just during their lifetime...the ancestors of the Xiao clan?" Hearing this, Gu Qingyang looked thoughtful.
In the Heavenly Tomb, he could be related to the Xiao clan, and he could also have the strength and prestige to intimidate a semi-saint...
As he was thinking this, suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyes widened in shock, and an absurd idea flashed through his mind.
"Could it be... Senior Xiao Xuan!?"
Gu Qingyang expressed his guess. Xiao Yun was fine as he had expected this, but Medusa and Zi Yan also looked incredulous.
Of course they knew who Xiao Xuan was. Xiao Yun’s goal of entering the Heavenly Tomb this time was to find the former’s tomb!
Originally they thought that Xiao Xuan was completely dead, but seeing the frightened look on the Blood Knife Saint's face now, it seemed that it wasn't the case?
“Maybe. The Heavenly Tomb is extremely unique. The powerful can preserve their wisdom and memories from their previous lives. This is another way of surviving.
In the past, our ancestor had reached the peak of Dou Sheng. If the Heavenly Tomb could bear it, our ancestor should be the same as the Blood Sword Saint..." Xiao Yun said slowly.
Hearing this, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on Gu Qingyang's face.
According to the records of the ancient clan, Xiao Xuan was sent to the Heavenly Tomb when he was on the verge of death a thousand years ago.
If the former is really still alive, according to the ratio of time in the Heavenly Tomb and the outside world, he has lived alone here for six thousand years!
"Ahem, Master Xiao, the depths of the Heavenly Tomb are ahead, and those who can live here are all old fellows above the level of Dou Sheng.
To avoid trouble, please follow me closely."
Just when everyone was confused, the Blood Knife Saint suddenly slowed down, stood in front of everyone, turned around and said.
"Thank you very much..." Xiao Yun clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude upon hearing this.
"Hehe, no need to thank me. It's Lord Xiao Xuan's order to lead the way for you and protect your safety!" The Blood Knife Saint smiled, and when he mentioned the last name, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Xuan!" After hearing what he said, Gu Qingyang and the other two widened their eyes. They didn't expect that Xiao Xuan could actually survive for so long!
"Senior...is what you said true? Senior Xiao Xuan, is he really still alive in this world?"
Gu Qingyang's voice trembled a little. If Xiao Xuan's soul was still alive, and with the addition of the evildoer Xiao Yun, the Xiao clan might really be revived!
"Nonsense, this is not Master Xiao Xuan's order. Am I doing this for your sake?"
Xuedao curled his lips, too lazy to say a few more words to anyone other than Xiao Yun. Then he flashed and rushed towards the depths. Afterwards, Xiao Yun and his group hurriedly followed.
With the Blood Knife Saint leading the way, the rest of the journey went much more smoothly.
Even though there were many powerful souls in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, some of them could even compete with Dou Sheng masters! But they could not stop everyone from moving forward.
When Xiao Yun and his group entered their territory, each of them burst out with an extremely terrifying aura.
And just when they wanted to make a move and devour everyone, the Blood Knife Saint only needed to say Xiao Xuan's name, and no matter how powerful the existence was, they would have to flee in a hurry and dare not even look at him again.
The name Xiao Xuan is so terrifying in the Heavenly Tomb that there is not a single soul that can live in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb that is not afraid.
Under the guidance of the Blood Knife Saint, Xiao Yun and his party quickly passed through the third level and arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.
Everyone stopped and looked around. The ground here was no longer gray-brown, but a dark color like ink.
The light around is also very dim. Standing here is like standing in a void space. The boundless darkness makes people feel lonely.
"This is the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb! In front is the tomb of Master Xiao Xuan.
Hehe, for thousands of years, everyone has heard of it, but no one has ever been able to actually reach here. So, I am still the first person in the Heavenly Tomb!" Xue Dao put away the ghost-headed sword, pointed to an ancient stone tablet in front of him, and laughed.
In the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan is a veritable evil star. All souls are very afraid of him and dare not offend his majesty.
Because he would leave the tomb once every thousand years to carry out a major purge, and anyone who was disobedient would have been purged long ago.
Immediately, he bowed forward, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "Master Xiao Xuan, Blood Knife is following your order to bring the young master of the Xiao clan here!"
"very good……"
As Blood Knife's words fell, a calm voice suddenly sounded from the void in front of them.
Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yun's body trembled violently, and the blood flowing in his body, as if summoned by something, began to fluctuate strangely.
Under the gaze of everyone, the void in front of Xiao Yun and others suddenly rippled, and then a figure in light blue clothes appeared silently.
The figure appeared very naturally, as if it should have been there, but everyone vaguely felt that this world seemed to have an owner.
Xiao Xuan!
Although the other person did not have any aura and looked like an elegant middle-aged man, none of the five people present dared to look directly at him.
"Really good..." Xiao Xuan first glanced at Xiao Yun, nodded with satisfaction, and then shifted his gaze to the Blood Knife Saint who was kneeling on the ground.
"Blood Knife, you did a great job. Go back first. From now on, you will be able to stay in the Heavenly Tomb forever."
"Thank you, Lord Xiao Xuan!" Upon hearing this, the Blood Knife Saint was overjoyed and quickly bowed down.
There are too many souls in this Heavenly Tomb that are stronger than him. In addition, the Heavenly Tomb is characterized by fighting. If he is not careful, he will be killed one day.
But now, with Xiao Xuan's promise, even if it was just a verbal promise, those souls that were stronger than him no longer dared to target him.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the Blood Knife Saint was very tactful. After bowing, he turned into a ray of blood light and flew away from here at a high speed.
After seeing Blood Knife leave, Xiao Xuan turned his gaze back to Xiao Yun and said softly, "Raise your head..."
Hearing this, the blood in Xiao Yun's body seemed to flow faster and faster. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he slowly raised his head and the two pairs of dark eyes met.
This staring match lasted for a while, and finally a slight smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face.
"Xiao clan, someone has finally arrived. My years of waiting are worth it..."
He stepped on the void, walked slowly to Xiao Yun, and spoke softly.
"Xiao Yun, a descendant of the Xiao clan! Greetings to the ancestor." Looking at Xiao Xuan in front of him, Xiao Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly bowed to the other party.
"Xiao Yun... Not bad, you have achieved such an accomplishment even though the bloodline of the Xiao clan has been abandoned. Even I cannot catch up with you."
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, gently helped Xiao Yun up, patted the latter's shoulder, and expressed deep emotion.
"This God has not forgotten my Xiao clan after all..."
"Thank you for the praise, ancestor. My achievement is not even one-tenth of yours." Xiao Yun smiled slightly and flattered him a little.
"Junior Gu Qingyang, nice to meet Senior Xiao Xuan."
"Junior Zi Yan..."
Gu Qingyang and the other two standing by finally came to their senses and bowed respectfully to Xiao Xuan.
"The ancient clan, the Taixu Ancient Dragon, and the extinct Sky-Swallowing Python clan..."
Xiao Xuan's eyes swept over the three people one by one, and finally stopped at Medusa. He smiled and said, "Little girl, you also have the aura of my Xiao clan..."
Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Medusa's face flushed with shame. Even though she was the king of a clan, she was still a little embarrassed to meet the parents.
Not to mention that the person in front of him is Xiao Yun’s ancestor, the top figure in the continent in the past!
"Hehe, what the ancestors said was right. Medusa is the boy's partner." Xiao Yun said.
"Well done. With your talent, you will naturally give birth to offspring soon to add fresh blood to our Xiao clan!"
Xiao Xuan smiled and waved his hand. Xiao Yun only felt a flash before his eyes and then he appeared directly next to the stone tablet.
"You three should practice outside this stone tablet. The energy here is the most concentrated in the Heavenly Tomb. Other energy entities dare not enter here, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."
Xiao Xuan pointed at the stone tablet and spoke calmly to Medusa and the other two.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Gu Qingyang responded in a deep voice, while Medusa and Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yun with some worry.
"Xiaoyun..."
"Don't worry, it's okay, just practice well here."
Xiao Yun pinched Medusa's little hand, then waved his hand, and the energy cores previously obtained flashed out. After a quick calculation, he divided all the energy cores into two parts and handed them to the two.
"With my level of cultivation, this won't be as effective as yours. You guys should practice with it!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and waved his hand as well. Suddenly, four energy cores that far exceeded the strength of the nine-star energy core also flashed out.
“As an elder, I forgot to give you a gift when we first met. These are four semi-saint-level energy cores.
With your cultivation, you two can barely absorb it, so just consider it as my gift!"
Then, he threw the energy core in front of Medusa and the other two.
"This..." Medusa and the other two were a little at a loss, and only put it away until Xiao Yun spoke.
"Thank you, senior Xiao Xuan."
"Well, Xiao Yun, come in with me..." After giving the greeting gift, Xiao Xuan turned his gaze to Xiao Yun, then put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the stone tablet.
When the body came into contact with the stone tablet, it quickly faded until it disappeared.
"Medusa, Zi Yan, I'm going in first. You guys practice well outside and wait for me to come out."
Seeing this, Xiao Yun let out a light breath, hugged the two of them, then turned around, walked to the stone tablet and stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, a feeling of blood connection came from the stone tablet into his mind, and then the stone tablet emitted a ray of light, wrapping Xiao Yun in it.
When the light faded, the latter's figure disappeared into the world.
