"Ah, the Clan Head's words are so inspiring."
Xiao Yan's heart pounded faster, stimulated by Xiao Xuan's words. Then, he weakly said, "Can I disagree?"
Xiao Xuan: "???"
Xiao Shaobei: "???"
As an Emperor's Son, where was his fighting spirit? Where was his unyielding nature?
At this moment, Xiao Shaobei looked at Xiao Yan as if he were looking at an idiot. This was a great opportunity to show himself in front of the Clan Ancestor.
And he actually said something so cowardly?
Since becoming a Dou God, Xiao Xuan had not been this silent for a long time. After a moment, he finally spoke slowly, asking, "Why?"
"Because I'm afraid of dying!"
Xiao Yan's words were concise, but Xiao Xuan fell silent again, while Xiao Shaobei on the side was a bit frantic.
After hearing this sentence, Xiao Xuan fell into a brief silence again.
"Not bad."
However, this time his silence didn't last too long, and he soon spoke again.
Xiao Shaobei: "???????"
"You are indeed a person who fears death. I really wasn't wrong about you." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face.
And this expression made Xiao Shaobei on the side almost burst.
Who would dare to speak like that in front of the clan ancestor?
Xiao Shaobei originally thought the clan ancestor would be furious, perhaps even revoking Xiao Yan's status as the Emperor's Son in a fit of rage. However, to his bewilderment, the clan ancestor didn't blame Xiao Yan; instead, a look of appreciation appeared on his face.
This left a nine-star Dou Saint like him completely dumbfounded.
But his bewilderment didn't last long, because Xiao Xuan spoke again.
"Although you have a point, it doesn't change my decision."
"I'll give you three more days. After three days, all the benefits and treatment you receive as the Emperor's Son will be suspended until you become a Dou Saint."
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly.
This smile made even Xiao Shaobei chuckle.
"Heh heh heh, that's more like it. If Xiao Xuan had continued to indulge Xiao Yan, then Xiao Shaobei would have thought that Xiao Yan, this Emperor's Son, might not be the Emperor's Son in name for the clan.
Instead, he might be a real 'Emperor's Son' with a blood relationship."
Xiao Shaobei was gloating, but Xiao Yan's face on the side showed no fluctuations, as if he had expected this result long ago.
He wasn't discouraged by Xiao Xuan's words, but instead looked at Xiao Xuan eagerly and said, "The outside world is so dangerous, shouldn't clan ancestor leave me with some means to protect myself?"
Means to protect himself?
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "Didn't I say that your identity as Emperor's Son still has three days before it can be revoked?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, clan ancestor. Clan ancestor, I'll kowtow to you."
Xiao Yan, with a grin, was about to kneel before Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan casually brushed him back with a gentle breeze.
"Get up, don't try those little tricks on me."
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then said to Xiao Shaobei, "Shaobei, take him to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame."
"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame?" Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and even Xiao Shaobei was taken aback, but he quickly reacted.
"Yes, Ancestor!" Xiao Shaobei bowed slightly to Xiao Xuan, then tore through space and left with Xiao Yan.
It wasn't until the two had left that Xiao Xuan couldn't help but raise his head and look at the hall above.
"The Third-Generation Soul Emperor... Heavenly External Evil..."
"I didn't expect that when I accidentally became a Dou God back then, although I accidentally glimpsed the passage to the upper realm, it also loosened the seal that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years."
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, his face solemn, and finally turned into a sigh.
"That's a Heavenly External Evil Emperor. If he breaks the seal, with the current Dou Qi Continent, I'm afraid it won't be able to last long."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction Xiao Yan had left.
"Thirty years, child, you only have thirty years."
With Xiao Shaobei leading the way, Xiao Yan's speed was simply terrifying. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed an unknown distance.
When he reappeared outside, a giant fireball with a diameter of a thousand feet appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
The fireball emitted milky white flames throughout, and wherever the flames passed, even space was slightly distorted. The endless light and heat it emitted illuminated the entire Xiao Realm.
The intense heat made even Xiao Yan, who controlled four Heavenly Flames, change his expression slightly, and compared to Xiao Yan's vigilance, the four Heavenly Flames in his body were trembling.
After all, the fireball in front of them, radiating terrifying heat, was the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame list.
After Xiao Yan and Xiao Shaobei appeared, the huge fireball also trembled slightly. Soon, a handsome young man in white appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Xiao Shaobei.
"I'm on duty, what do you need?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame first glanced at Xiao Shaobei, then focused his gaze on Xiao Yan.
"It's you?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was slightly stunned at first, but after sensing the aura on Xiao Yan's body, his expression changed.
"How can you have the aura of five Heavenly Flames?"
"And four of them are already merged?"
Feeling the new Heavenly Flame formed by the fusion of four different Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yan's body, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame hesitated for a moment before a trace of astonishing killing intent flashed in its eyes.
"Boy, you cultivate that old thing's 'Burning诀'?"
Astonishing killing intent erupted from within the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The sky was scorching hot, but Xiao Yan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's strength was enough to rank among the best even among Dou Saint experts. In the past, the first time he saw this flame, its attitude was still quite good.
But when it knew that he cultivated the Burning诀, this terrifying killing intent almost caused Xiao Yan's consciousness to collapse.
"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, don't forget you're in the Xiao Clan right now."
Xiao Shaobei, who was beside them, showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face after seeing this scene.
You, a working stiff who was captured, dare to be so arrogant.
Thinking in his heart, he snorted coldly, and his aura quietly protected Xiao Yan. Following that, the true momentum of a nine-star Dou Saint quietly pressed down on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Even though the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's strength was incredibly formidable, it still fell short when facing Xiao Shaobei. In just a short time, its previously terrifying aura was directly suppressed.
Just as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was about to get angry, an invisible soul fluctuation quietly reached it. Xiao Yan and Xiao Shaobei also sensed it.
"Is it the Clan Ancestor's thought?"
The two looked at each other.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, after being touched by this soul fluctuation in the distance, its expression slightly changed, and then it turned its gaze towards Xiao Yan.
"You encountered that Heavenly External Evil?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame frowned, looking at Xiao Yan.
Indeed, with Xiao Shaobei protecting him, Xiao Yan wasn't afraid of the other party and nodded lightly.
After receiving Xiao Yan's affirmation, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame fell into a brief silence. Moments later, the milky white flames in its right palm rapidly gathered, eventually forming a ball of milky white flames that shot towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Shaobei's expression slightly changed, and he was about to reach out to stop it.
Even a strand of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame would make a Dou Saint of one-star yield a few points. If anyone below Dou Saint were to be touched by it, they would likely turn to ashes in an instant.
But before he could reach out, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame spoke lightly, "This is just a Seed Flame of mine."
Xiao Shaobei paused slightly upon hearing this, his eyes flickering for a few moments before he withdrew his hand. Without his protection, Xiao Yan could only watch helplessly as the milky white flame entered his brow.
The next moment, he felt his soul begin to burn, and a great pain of the soul being burned spread through his consciousness.
"Ah!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
In the past, he had used these methods to torture the Soul Clan people, but today, he was burned by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Hearing Xiao Yan's screams, Xiao Shaobei's expression changed. He stared grimly at the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and said with displeasure, "What do you want? You should know the position this boy holds in our clan ancestor's heart.
If something happens to him, aren't you afraid that our clan ancestor will erase your consciousness in a fit of rage?"
Hearing Xiao Shaobei's words, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face.
"Don't threaten me with your clan ancestor. If it weren't for the Heavenly External Evil, even if Xiao Xuan wanted to erase my sentience, I would still completely kill this boy who cultivated the 'Burning诀'."
Hearing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's words, Xiao Shaobei's expression changed slightly again. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan, who was holding his head and screaming in pain, with some pity. He really didn't know what this guy had done to provoke the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's hatred.
The screams lasted for about half an hour. Xiao Yan's cries finally weakened. When he raised his head again, his face was as white as gold paper.
However, at the place between his eyebrows on this pale face, a demonic pink lotus mark slowly emerged.
"I have already planted a Seed Flame in your body. From now on, you can command this Seed Flame to fight against enemies."
Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame said lightly, "Heavenly Flame is born from the great power of heaven and earth and is the greatest nemesis of the Heavenly External Evil. However, among all flames, only my Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame has the strongest restraining power against the Heavenly External Evil.
With this Seed Flame, even a Devil King-level Heavenly External Evil will find it difficult to contaminate you. Since it's because of the Heavenly External Evil, I will give you a Seed Flame."
Speaking of this, a trace of melancholy appeared on Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face, and it said lightly, "I hope that you will be able to eliminate more Heavenly External Evil in the future and avenge that guy, Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint."
Speaking of this, a trace of melancholy suddenly appeared on Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face.
"Thank you, Senior." Xiao Yan bowed slightly towards Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, but a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Didn't I hear that the cause of Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's death was because of the backlash of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame? Why is this guy now starting to avenge his master?
However, thinking of this, he was slightly stunned.
"The cause of Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's death?"
He couldn't help but look at the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, but all he received was a cold gaze in return.
"Forget it, he will know these things in the future."
Xiao Yan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and gave Xiao Shaobei a look. Xiao Shaobei nodded slightly and then led Xiao Yan away, disappearing from the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's view.
After the two of them disappeared, a trace of melancholy appeared on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face.
"Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, I really didn't expect that even after fighting to the death back then, you still couldn't completely eliminate that Heavenly External Evil."
Speaking of this, his gaze turned cold again.
"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint deserves to die, Xiao Xuan deserves to die, and the Tou She Ancient God deserves to die even more!"
"As for that Heavenly External Evil, it must die, die without a trace."
"So, what exactly was the cause of Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's death?"
In the sky above the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan looked at Clan Head Xiao Shaobei with curiosity.
When Xiao Shaobei became a Dou Saint, Xiao Xuan hadn't become a Dou God yet, so this Clan Head was actually quite old.
"I'm not entirely sure."
Xiao Shaobei gently shook his head, saying, "Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was the most ancient and mysterious among the Five Saints of the Near Ancient times. When he perished, even our ancestor was just a young pup.
However, according to the records in our Xiao Clan's archives, he was heavily wounded after a great battle with many experts, and was ultimately killed by the backlash of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
The demise of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was a watershed moment on the continent.
The era before his fall was known as the Ancient Era, and the era after his fall was known as the Near Ancient Era."
Xiao Shaobei spoke with composure.
"Rumor has it that his strength long ago surpassed the peak of a nine-star Dou Saint. Although he hasn't reached Dou God, he's not someone ordinary nine-star Dou Saints can compare to.
Now it seems, those fellows who fought against this ancient strongman before should be the so-called Heavenly External Evils."
Speaking of this, even Xiao Shaobei's face became solemn.
The events before ancient times were simply too distant. Even within the Xiao Clan, there weren't very clear records. As for information about the Heavenly External Evils, it had almost completely vanished after ancient times. Even he, the clan leader, only knew bits and pieces.
However, with Xiao Yan's return, Xiao Shaobei finally understood just how terrifying the so-called Heavenly External Evil race was.
"Clan leader, aren't we going to the Scripture Depository? Where are we going now?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Shaobei. His original intention was to take advantage of the fact that his Emperor's Son/Heir identity hadn't been frozen yet and quickly learn a couple of Heaven-rank Dou Techniques, but Xiao Shaobei was taking Xiao Yan to another place.
"Heh heh, you'll find out when we get there."
A moment later, the two arrived at a place with a dense soul aura.
Upon arriving, the Yin-Yang Saint Flame within Xiao Yan, which had been quiet, started to jump again.
