Staring at the twelve towering figures in the sky, the First Generation's expression first froze in shock—but soon, a hint of delight surfaced in her eyes.
The Xiao Clan's strength was far beyond her imagination. Yet, the stronger they were, the greater the benefits for this generation's Medusa.
At the same time, she finally gained a clearer understanding of Xiao Yan's position within the Xiao Clan.
Just to retaliate against a mere One-Star Dou Sheng, one call brought forth twelve Dou Shengs. She truly couldn't fathom how much power this boy held behind him.
Twelve Dou Shengs! In most ancient clans, that would make up nearly all of their peak combat force.
But judging from their manner, these twelve seemed to be merely the tip of the iceberg for the Xiao Clan.
As for Yue Mei and the others, their faces were no longer filled with shock—they were utterly dumbfounded.
In a place like the Northwestern Continent, even a Dou Zun was a top-tier expert—while a Dou Sheng was a mythical existence, completely beyond their imagination.
Yet now, twelve Dou Shengs stood right before them. The sight itself felt like a dream.
Something they'd never even dare to imagine had just become reality.
Only now did they realize how terrifying the force behind Xiao Yan truly was.
Xiao Yan, too, was inwardly stirred as he gazed at the twelve Dou Shengs before him.
These so-called Golden Twelve Saints were an elite squad composed of twelve relatively young Dou Sheng-level experts from the Xiao Clan.
The strongest among them was at the Five-Star Dou Sheng level—but they all shared one thing in common: youth.
Even the oldest Five-Star Dou Sheng among them wasn't over five hundred years old. Every one of these twelve possessed the potential to break through to Seven-Star Dou Sheng.
Xiao Yan's grandfather, Xiao Lin, was the youngest and weakest among the Golden Twelve Saints. But an eighty-year-old Dou Sheng—in clans like the Yao Clan or Shi Clan—would already be considered a candidate for Clan Chief.
"Grandson," Xiao Lin said slowly, "tell Grandpa—who's the blind fool that dared to provoke you?"
"Grandpa, elders, it's this guy. Not only did he try to seize the inheritance from me, but he even wanted to kill me."
Xiao Yan pointed a finger into the void. A mirror image appeared in the air, revealing the phantom of the Zi Tian Mo Mang—Zi Ran.
Seeing Xiao Yan's display, Xiao Lin's expression softened with a hint of pride.
"So, you've already reached Three-Star Dou Zong?"
"Just a mere Three-Star Dou Zong," Xiao Yan said humbly, though a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Alright, enough of that false modesty."
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Lin gave Xiao Yan a light kick on the backside.
Who didn't know what kind of rascal his grandson was?
Still, while Xiao Lin treated Xiao Yan casually, the other eleven Saints couldn't help but look on with admiration.
If they recalled correctly, Xiao Yan's true age was barely sixteen.
Sixteen—and already a Three-Star Dou Zong. In the thousand-year history of the Xiao Clan, such talent ranked in the top three.
Even though these men still had room to grow after becoming Dou Shengs, during their youth, all of them had been considered prodigies. Yet, most only reached the Dou Zong realm in their early twenties.
"No wonder the Ancestor conferred upon him the title of Emperor's Son. His cultivation speed truly rivals—or even surpasses—that of the previous two Emperor's Sons."
With that thought, the eleven Saints no longer dared to show even a shred of disrespect toward Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, Emperor's Son," the leading Five-Star Dou Sheng said with a grin, "just tell us what needs to be done."
The other ten Dou Shengs nodded in agreement.
"What needs to be done?"
Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Of course—find him, and make sure he understands exactly what kind of being he dared to offend."
Hearing that, the Dou Shengs all smiled in unison.
So domineering—just as the Xiao Clan should be.
"Next, I'll have to trouble the seniors to help locate this man," Xiao Yan said, cupping his hands respectfully.
"Haha! Emperor's Son, you are the highest-ranking figure in our clan—no need to be so polite!"
One of the Dou Shengs laughed heartily, clearly pleased with Xiao Yan's courtesy.
No matter how gifted he was, Xiao Yan was still just a Dou Zong for now. He might surpass them in a century or less, but at this moment, he hadn't yet reached the level that commanded their fear.
They'd assumed he would be an arrogant, spoiled youth, but to their surprise—he knew how to respect his elders.
"Don't worry, Emperor's Son," a burly Three-Star Dou Sheng declared domineeringly. "Our Xiao Clan has kept too low a profile for too long. Even a mere One-Star Dou Sheng dares provoke us? Today, we'll make sure to remind these small fries of their place!"
"Dare to bully my grandson?" Xiao Lin snorted coldly. "Let's make him understand how he's going to die today."
Soon, the twelve Dou Shengs transformed into twelve streaks of light, shooting out in all directions.
At that moment, the Northwestern Continent was plunged into the fear of being dominated by the Xiao Clan.
These twelve Dou Shengs had no intention of being discreet—their auras burst forth like a tidal wave, unleashing vast soul power to conduct a carpet-style search across the entire continent.
Their overwhelming presence sent tremors throughout the land.
"My god—what terrifying beings are these? Just sensing their aura makes my whole body tremble… like an ant before a dragon!"
"I don't know—but whoever they are, the owner of that aura must be a peak-level powerhouse. Someone we might not even see once in our entire lives!"
A day later, yet another terrifying aura swept across the land.
"That powerful aura again? Wait—that's not the same one as yesterday!
What the hell is happening in this world? Why are there suddenly so many terrifying existences appearing one after another?"
In the past two days, countless sects and empires across the Northwestern Continent were gripped by panic. Even Dou Zun-level experts were trembling in fear.
Usually, they stood at the top of the food chain—but now, Dou Shengs were combing through the region repeatedly. Just witnessing so many of them made their hearts nearly collapse.
When they finally asked who these Dou Shengs were, they all received the same answer:
"Xiao Clan."
The Golden Twelve Saints' sweeping search not only threw countless factions into terror, but even startled some of the long-hidden Dou Shengs who had been in seclusion for centuries.
"Who the hell are you people?! You've been circling above my head for days—can't a man get some damn sleep?!"
A deep, rumbling voice shattered the air. A massive black Xuanwu—the Black God Tortoise—glared coldly at the Xiao Clan Dou Sheng before it.
This Xuanwu's cultivation had reached Seven-Star Dou Sheng, the most terrifying existence among the hidden experts of the Northwestern Continent.
Facing such a being, even the Xiao Clan's Dou Sheng broke into a cold sweat.
"Senior, we are of the Xiao Clan. We're merely searching for someone in this region—our apologies for disturbing your rest."
"The Xiao Clan?" The Black God Tortoise's enormous pupils turned slightly.
"A thousand years ago, another Dou Di appeared on the continent… that person was from your Xiao Clan, wasn't he?"
"That's right—that was our Clan Ancestor."
"I see. Then go ahead and continue your search. Losing a little sleep isn't a problem."
"Thank you, Senior!"
