Song Qingxiao's promise is of great significance to Su Wu, the two of them are the same soul, he understands Song Qingxiao's personality, and knows that she will do what she says, so this thank you is a little more sincere.

During this period of time when the two were communicating with their divine senses, Xiang Si finally explained the origin and function of the Chaos Bead in a sprinkling manner.

She said with a dry mouth, not noticing Song Qingxiao's distraction at all, and took a sip of the spiritual tea on the side:

"The Chaos Bead developed by the Martial Arts Research Institute naturally cannot be compared with the Chaos Bead made by the Thousand Machine Clan, but it is said to have found the characteristics that restrain the Achilles heel of the Chaos Bead!"

When Xiang Si said this, his face showed a serious look:

"It was said that the people who used the Chaos Bead back then all had strange accidents one after another, and they should have suffered from the backlash of the power of the Chaos Bead."

She didn't know as much about the disasters artificially created by the Martial Arts Research Institute back then as Su Wushen, but the ancestors of the Xiangjiang clan still guessed a few clues with their extraordinary intuition.

When Song Qingxiao heard this, he already vaguely understood the reason why the Xiangjiang clan was chased and killed by the Martial Arts Research Institute back then, and finally fled to the hidden world.

"In response to this characteristic, the council believes that 'foreign objects' can be used to filter the power of backlash."

Xiang Si's words verified Song Qingxiao's guess.

"The inheritance secret technique of the Xiangjiang clan happens to be the imperial envoy spirit beast, and it has a blood contract."

She smiled bitterly, "The art of blood pact can coexist with demon beasts, so the council proposed at that time to use the Chaos Bead to absorb spiritual power, through the body of the demon beast, after 'purifying' it, and then use the characteristics of the blood contract with the demon beast to transfer this power to the body of the cultivator." ”

In other words, the existence of demon beasts is used as a 'filter', and after removing the chaff, human beings can absorb the purest power to advance.

This characteristic inevitably reminded Song Qingxiao of Shi Qiuwu's actions.

His approach is almost identical to the concept of the Martial Arts Research Institute that Xiang Si said.

Absorb the power of the sea of stars with the real chaos bead from the hands of the Thousand Machine Clan, help the Beastmaster advance, and finally plan the body of the Beastmaster after being counterattacked.

Such speculation made Song Qingxiao can't help but start thinking about whether the cooperation between the imperial family and the outer heavens has really ended.

Although, according to Su Wu, the cooperation between Shijia and Outer Heaven failed one after another with the successive failures of the 'experiment', and finally came to an end.

But the unexpected news from Xiang Si made Song Qingxiao start to suspect that the two sides are very likely to still have some kind of connection.

Su Wu didn't know the reason for the insider, and it was also a disguised verification that the Taikang clan had been isolated by the Outer Heaven Martial Arts Research Institute.

"At that time, we thought that the opportunity for the Xiangjiang clan had come." Xiang Si said calmly: "Such conditions are simply tailor-made for our people. ”

Although the Xiangjiang clan said that raising demon beasts to fight was a unique secret technique outside the sky, because it relied too deeply on demon beasts, it formed an extremely embarrassing dilemma.

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!

If there is no powerful demon beast bloodline in the world, for the clansmen, it is tantamount to a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, there have been no elders in the clan who are strong enough to be famous and extraordinary.

For a long time, the Xiangjiang First Clan relied on the Martial Arts Research Institute to survive, and the strength of the clan could not be improved, and there was no way to compare with the Nine Great Clans.

Therefore, when he learned of the decision of the Martial Arts Research Institute at that time, the Xiangjiang clan thought that his opportunity had come, and he actively participated in this experiment from beginning to end.

"Impossible." Song Qingxiao smiled faintly when she heard this.

"yes." When Xiang Si heard her words, he also shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"It really can't be."

The Martial Arts Research Institute has gone through hundreds of years of research, and has not given up the plan of the Chaos Pearl, naturally it is not for the sake of cheapening the Xiangjiang clan and making wedding dresses for others.

Such a simple truth, but the authorities are confused.

"My ancestors thought that they were loyal to the Martial Arts Research Institute and had no second thoughts, if such a plan can make the Xiangjiang Clan grow, it will become a sharp blade for the Martial Arts Research Institute in the future."

However, in the eyes of the Martial Arts Research Institute, after strengthening the Xiangjiang clan, it is very likely that he will personally raise another clan and carve up the pattern controlled by the nine great clans of the Outer Heavens.

"Therefore, at that time, the Martial Arts Research Institute held a council and finally made a decision to ask us to hand over this secret inheritance."

When Xiang Si said this, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes:

"Forcibly taking other people's things from other people's hands, and not even asking the owner's wishes." Her voice was very soft and trembling, and she was obviously very excited:

"Why?" She gritted her teeth: "Is it because it relies on great power?" ”

Song Qingxiao was silent.

When Xiang Si said these words, she didn't want her to comfort herself.

In fact, she understands the truth of the law of the jungle, and the reason why the Xiangjiang clan actively responded to the experiment of the Martial Arts Research Institute at the beginning was just to improve the strength of the family and change the fate of being bullied.

The reason why Xiang Si said these words at this time was just because as the heir of the family, the pressure had accumulated in her heart for too long.

She also quickly realized that she was out of shape, pursed the corners of her mouth, and reached out to comb the ends of her hair, calming her mood before she continued:

"The art of beast control is the foundation of our family's survival, and it is naturally impossible for the elders to agree."

What happened next, she didn't say that Song Qingxiao also knew.

After rejecting the offer of the Martial Arts Research Institute, the Xiangjiang Ichchi clan was quickly expelled by the Martial Arts Research Institute.

Although it is based on morality, the Martial Arts Research Institute cannot cut it to the roots.

But having participated in the research of the Chaos Bead, the Xiangjiang Yi clan knew too much, and the Martial Arts Research Institute naturally couldn't keep them in this world.

"But in the end, because of the art of the beast, the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute have not really obtained such a secret technique, and the elders have made a promise to never expose the Chaos Bead and related secrets, so the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute have never really cut the grass and eradicated the roots."

But even so, in that catastrophe, the family elders desperately protected them, and in the end, only some of the remnants of the clan fled into the hidden realm and struggled to survive.

"You see where we are now."

Xiang Si tugged at the corners of his mouth, and barely showed a smile:

"In the hidden realm, our environment is better than many people, but this is also the result of more than two hundred years of operation by our ancestors."

And hundreds of years ago, in the process of being hunted down by the Martial Arts Research Institute, some ancestors of the Xiangjiang clan who had powerful contract demon beasts were lost one after another.

In the end, what remained were just some demon beasts whose strength and bloodline were far inferior to the former.

The clan was almost extinct, and the inheritance was almost broken.

Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the Xiangjiang clan has not been able to ease up.

The harsh environment of the hidden realm makes their development extremely difficult, and the inheritance of heirs and the reproduction of demon beasts are not as good as they were back then.

"More than 30 years ago, my parents died in prison." fantasy

Since then, the Xiangjiang clan has lost its two major descendants, and its strength is even worse day by day.

Now the Xiangjiang clan is in power is Xiangsi's grandmother, who has reached the cultivation of the realm of harmony.

Xiang Si's parents are not so talented that the strength of the demon beast of the contract is not weak, and they are young and have reached the realm of distraction, and the woman originally had great hopes for them.

Once both husband and wife enter the realm of merger at the same time, the strength of the Xiangjiang clan will be more stable.

When Xiangsi grows up, the family may still be able to think about leaving the hidden world and finding a place to go again.

But people are not as good as heaven, and before Xiangsi's breakthrough, her parents fell into the divine prison.

After the inheritance is broken, only the woman alone supports the beam, and the heirs of the lineage have only only turned into babies so far, and they don't know when they will advance to the side of the lineage.

After the strength was greatly reduced, the Canghe and Lan families, who were originally equal to the strength of the Xiangjiang clan, gradually became less stable, and they wanted to annex the forces and resources of the Xiangjiang clan.

Originally, the Xiangjiang clan planned to get out of the hidden world, if it goes on like this, not only will there be no way to get out of the hidden world, but I am afraid that there will be no way to keep even the one-third of the hidden world.

"My grandmother did act a little impatiently, but she didn't mean to."

Xiang Si revealed his bottom and plate, and looked at Song Qingxiao sincerely:

"She wants to recruit you to stay, and she really wants to."

Xiang Si did not hide the cause and effect, and his intention to keep Song Qingxiao was also very sincere.

Song Qingxiao showed a faint smile, this smile did not dilute her cold and detached temperament, but made her even more difficult to touch.

Xiangsi had already anticipated her decision, and sighed in his heart, but he was not completely desperate.

She still has a back hand!

"I won't tell you the truth, if you stay, the resources of the Xiangjiang clan will think that you are the master."

Xiang Si said confidently:

"Although we were expelled by the Martial Arts Research Institute, over the past few hundred years, we have still accumulated some things that are enough for you to cultivate peacefully in the hidden realm."

She tried to convince Song Qingxiao:

"The people of the Empire have released a wanted warrant and are hunting you."

Because of the fact that she was carrying a strange treasure, a strong man like Shi Qiuwu, who had half-stepped into the Holy Realm, even personally said that he wanted to search for her whereabouts.

The world is so big, where else can she go except the hidden world?

This is her best shelter.

For the people of the Outer Heaven and the Empire, the Hidden Realm is like a zone of three things.

The lack of spiritual power in the hidden realm and the harsh environment are already equivalent to a huge cage.

Entering here, all past grievances and hatreds should be erased with one stroke—this is an unwritten unspoken rule in this realm for every cultivator.

As long as she doesn't leave the hidden realm, with her strength and the power of the Xiangjiang clan, it is enough to be safe.

"We can help you break through to the pinnacle of the realm of merger." Xiangsi made a commitment.

Once Song Qingxiao reached the half-step Void Realm, even if it was within the Hidden Realm, with her two Xuantian-level spirit treasures, it would be enough for her to have an opponent.

"You're still young, and Shi Qiuwu is not young."

Although he has already half-entered the holy realm, after all, he has not really entered the holy realm, and the age limit is unavoidable for him.

For Shi Qiuwu, although the Xuantian-level spiritual treasure is important, it is not as good as his own cultivation and life after all.

"He can't keep an eye on you all the time, then we can send someone to keep an eye on the Shi family, and when the time Qiuwu retreats and breaks through, you can still go out."

Xiang Si's words carried a certain temptation, but Song Qingxiao still shook her head with a smile when she heard her say this.

Although Xiang Si's method is conservative, it is very safe.

But for Song Qingxiao, this kind of life is tantamount to being completely tied to the Xiangjiang clan, adding countless constraints.

As for the result, it can be seen from the fact that the people of the Xiangjiang clan have stayed here for more than 200 years, not only have they not made any gains, but now they still need to seek foreign aid, which can be seen that their situation is embarrassing.

Since entering the Divine Prison, her mentality has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is no longer blindly avoiding as she was at the beginning.

Xiang Si seemed to have expected Song Qingxiao's response a long time ago, but she still didn't give up completely, and her face showed hesitation.

After hesitating for a long time, she spoke again, as if she had made up her mind:

"Do you remember the beast mastery I gave you earlier?"

As soon as she said this, Song Qingxiao guessed that the Xiangjiang clan might still have some secrets in hand, so she nodded.

"I'll tell you the truth, the beast control technique I gave you is only the most basic technique." She gritted her teeth, was ruthless, and shook out the real secret:

"We also have a set of secret techniques that only pass on the bloodline of the lineage, which can absorb the power of the bloodline of the demon beast's talent, and even the number of lifespans!"

What the Martial Arts Research Institute wants, it's exactly this kind of thing.

"As long as you learn this secret technique, you can absorb the power of demon beasts, bloodline talents, and enhance your own cultivation." In order to keep Song Qingxiao, Xiangsi can be regarded as a bloody investment:

"Three hundred years ago, my ancestors got a demon beast egg in the Divine Prison!"

Now that he has opened his mouth, Xiangsi will no longer keep it:

"After testing by our ancestors, there is still a spirit in this egg, which can respond to our detection."

"Judging from the response of the spiritual breath in the egg, this egg is at least from the ancient period, and it is very likely that it has the bloodline of the great demon that has broken the inheritance."

Because this egg is hard-won and extremely precious, under the circumstances at that time, the ancestors of the Xiangjiang clan did not hatch this monster egg, but sealed this precious monster egg and kept it, ready to wait for the appearance of outstanding juniors in the future, and then hatch it and blood contract.

This egg is the hope of the Xiangjiang clan, and they hope that this egg, which may come from the ancient demon, can be a great help for them in the future, leading them out of the hidden world and out of the predicament.

It's just that no one expected that the more the future, the more critical the situation of the Xiangjiang clan became, until now, even when it was passed down to the fourth generation of Xiangsi, there was a crisis of breaking off the inheritance.

"My grandmother originally wanted to keep the egg and hatch it herself when I reached the realm of Harmony."

The stronger the bloodline power, divine sense, and will of the Xiangjiang clan, the greater the impact on the spirit beast after hatching it.

"But as long as you are willing to join us," Xiang Si looked at Song Qingxiao with firm eyes:

"Song San, I am willing to give you all this egg with the blood of the Great Demon and the secret techniques of the Xiangjiang Clan, as long as you can take us out of here!"
