Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Rise of Power (1)
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shili Soars (1)
Xiao Yao moved out of the clan rules, and the most anxious were Xiao Qi and Xiao Li. If Xiao Yan was really expelled from the Xiao clan, wouldn't Xiao Qi become a living widow? That's not going to happen. But the patriarch is in power, who dares to go up to find the moldy head? I had to pray to God and Buddha in my heart, and pray that Xiao Yan would not go against Xiao Yao's will again.
"Alas, ancestor, you are forcing me."
Xiao Yan looked left and right, but found that no one could help him in this matter, and he even avoided his eyes, let alone feel depressed.
"There's no other way to go?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yao and asked again.
"Nope!" Xiao Yao, who was categorical, rejected Xiao Yan's luck.
"But I'm not good at management." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Qi with a pale face, and felt very unbearable, so he moved out of Zuihou with a reason that he could get it.
"Xiao Mansion, don't you also manage haode well?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.
"That's all the credit of Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong, I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper." Xiao Yan was very frank.
"Shili of such a big Xiao Mansion can be well organized under the management of Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong, and I believe it will not be difficult to add another Xiao family." Xiao Yao saw that Xiao Yan was a little relieved, and slowly calmed down, "You can still continue to be your hands-off shopkeeper, how about it?" ”
"Even if I am willing to take over, I will have to agree to all the clansmen." Xiao Yan spread his hands, looking a little helpless. Now it seems that the only way to go is to hope that everyone will not forget the great deeds of their ancestors and raise their feet and hands against themselves as patriarchs.
Okay, you kid, Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Yan, saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts, sneered, his eyes swept across the field majestically, and shouted with a posture that anyone who was not satisfied would be pulled out and killed: "The old man has decided to pass on the position of patriarch to Xiao Yan, and if there is any opposition, you can stand up now, but everyone should think twice, don't go against your heart, otherwise the old man will not spare him!" ”
Is there such a naked threat? Everyone was sweating profusely, and that was too much.
However, seeing that Xiao Yao's intention had been decided, and Xiao Yan was indeed excellent, how could the Xiao clan have anyone who opposed it at this moment, and the audience was silent for a while.
Is it just silence? Xiao Yao's old face was pale, and he stomped his feet fiercely, his eyes falling on Xiao Li and Xiao Long.
Where would Xiao Li and Xiao Long not know what Xiao Yao meant, it was nothing more than letting the two of them take the lead in expressing their position, but those two feet were too obvious.
Looking up at Xiao Yan, Xiao Li and Xiao Long smiled bitterly, suppressed the reluctance of the old patriarch in their hearts, and finally made up their minds, walked out slowly, raised their arms and shouted: "We are willing to serve Xiao Yan as the new patriarch, but Xiao Yan's order is obeyed." ”
"We are willing to serve Xiao Yan as the new patriarch, but Xiao Yan's orders are obeyed." Everyone's thoughts are the same as Xiao Li and Xiao Long, taking into account the old patriarch's feelings, they have never dared to express their position, but now seeing Xiao Li and Xiao Long taking the lead, the suppressed enthusiasm in their hearts suddenly gushed out, wave after wave.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Xiao Yan, who had no way out, sighed: "Since the ancestor insists on me taking over the position of patriarch, I, Xiao Yan, can only be respectful and obey my fate." ”
"I, Xiao Yan, hereby promise all the clansmen that I will lead the Xiao clan to become a super-first-class shili in the Doudi Continent!" Xiao Yan stroked his loose hair, straightened out the somewhat messy clothes in the battle, and continued to speak, "Now that the Xiao Mansion and the Xiao Clan have merged, they already have the foundation to win the first-class Shili, and we are not far from our goal, I hope that everyone will work together to create a new future for the Xiao Clan." ”
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shili Soars (2)
Xiao Yan's words "rumbled" across the valley like thunder, and a new round of shock was set off in everyone's hearts.
"The merger of the Xiao Mansion and the Xiao Clan already has the foundation to win the first-class shili in the Doudi Continent." What kind of concept is this, this means that the strength of the Xiao Mansion is already on the edge of the first-class shili, and the Xiao family is just to give everyone face. It turned out that this was the true essence of Xiao Yan Shili, and everyone exclaimed in their hearts, and they couldn't change their minds for a while.
In the Doudi Continent, Shijie, the weak and the strong, has always been the most hero-worshipping, Xiao Yan's previous performance in the battle and the background revealed at this time suddenly made him gain the supreme loyalty of all the clansmen, and even this loyalty began to transform into fanatical belief in Xiao Yan, at this time, perhaps as long as Xiao Yan gave an order to them to jump off the cliff collectively, they would never frown. Soon, all the people of the Xiao clan, under the leadership of Xiao Zhan and others, raised their weapons and let out a wave of voices that soared into the sky at Xiao Yan: "Long live Xiao Yan!" Long live the patriarch! ”
Feeling the enthusiasm of everyone, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, pressed his hands, and the shouting below immediately stopped.
Xiao Yan's face gradually became solemn, and the coercion of the superior began to show on his body, and he said: "The Xiao clan can support Zuihou at the moment of crisis, thanks to the great help of our good brother and good ally Tianming Valley and the Phantom Demon Clan, let us pay the highest salute to them." ”
In this battle, Tianming Valley and the Phantom Demon Clan can be said to have contributed a lot, gaining valuable time for Xiao Yan's arrival. All the people of the Xiao clan did not have a trace of objection, and under the leadership of Xiao Yan, they turned around neatly and bowed deeply to the two clans.
"Hehe, you're welcome, you and I are a brotherly alliance, as it should be. Now that the ancestors of the Xiao clan have returned, the new patriarch is young and promising, and it is also my luck to be able to witness the rise of the Xiao clan here. Emperor Ming was greatly relieved and daxiao again and again.
"The demon world is here to congratulate Patriarch Xiao Yan." Seeing that Xiao Yan only remembered his kindness, the demon world kept silent and did not mention his previous grudge against the Yi Demon Sect, and finally let go of his heart that was still a little apprehensive, but he was ashamed and did not dare to accept the gift of the Xiao clan, and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate Xiao Yan.
"The grace of Tianming Valley and the Phantom Demon Clan, the Xiao Clan will remember it in their hearts, and Xiao Yan will definitely have a good reward in the future."
Xiao Yan hugged his fists to Emperor Ming and the demon world one by one, and a bundle of black clothes fluttered in the wind on his waist, looking extremely chic, but the sincere words made the hearts of the two beat wildly.
With Xiao Yan's net worth, a shot will definitely benefit the two clans, how can you not like it?
Xiao Li looked at Emperor Ming and the demon world, who were once on an equal footing with the old patriarch, and they all respected Xiao Yan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, daxiao said: "Xiao Yan, no, no, it should be the patriarch, the old man didn't think wrong about your strength back then, hahahaha." ”
He didn't care about this excitement, and before he could stop laughing, the injury that had not yet recovered caused a cough, and a pale cheek appeared.
"What, Xiao Qi, didn't you send the pill I gave you?" Xiao Yan was shocked when he saw this, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Qi beside him.
"It's been given. Grandpa, are you alright? Xiao Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Li.
"It's none of Xiao Qi's business, the old man has already taken the pill. The effect of the medicine is really good, more than ten times better than the pill that the old man used to take, and the old man's injury has recovered fifty percent, but the palm of the black-robed man is too ruthless. Xiao Li waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be nervous.
"Wait, this is unlikely, with the efficacy of this elixir, the effect will definitely not be so bad." Xiao Yan listened and listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes swept over everyone, and asked, "How do the other people who take the pill feel?" ”
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shili Soars (3)
"The patriarch's elixir is really magical, and we have fully recovered." Everyone responded one by one, only Xiao Long's face was a little gloomy, and the situation was the same as Xiao Li.
"It may be that the effect of the pill on the three-star Doudi has weakened." Xiao Li smiled, not impressing, he didn't believe that there was really an elixir in the world that could make the three-star Dou Emperor recover quickly.
"But Xiao Li, even the old man and Xiao Qi's injuries have recovered," Emperor Ming was puzzled.
"Qi'er, the pill I gave you is divided into grades, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Xiao Yan couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Xiao Qi if he had given the wrong pill when he was dispensing the medicine.
"That's right, it's all given according to my husband's orders." Xiao Qi is very sure.
"What's going on here?" This time, even Xiao Yao felt depressed, "Xiao Li, Xiao Long, Xiao Yan, these elixir old men know that they have an immediate effect on the three-star Dou Emperor, why is it wrong for the two of you?" ”
"People, you have to serve the old. During this period of time, Xiao Long and I have felt that our strength is a little lacking, but it's nothing, it's just a little slower recovery, and it's not a big deal. Xiao Li is very open.
"Have the two elders felt sluggish in the past few years, and under all kinds of cultivation, the fighting spirit has not risen but fallen, and this process is not obvious, or even very slow?" Xiao Yan's open-mindedness towards Xiao Li did not ease up, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and his face became solemn.
"How do you know?" Xiao Li and Xiao Long's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and they asked Xiao Yan in surprise.
"Have you two been attacked by some black-robed man before, or have you been injured at their hands?" Xiao Yao jumped up directly, staring at the two of them, and his breathing became a little shorter.
"When the old patriarch said this, we remembered that we were indeed slapped a few times by several black-robed people before Xiao Yan left the clan." Xiao Li was asked by Xiao Yao, and he also remembered, "However, what does this have to do with the condition of our body?" ”
Xiao Yan chuckled in his heart, and he and Xiao Yao looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
"It's not that you're having a problem with yourself, it's not that the elixir is failing, it's that you've been hit by the Soul Eater Mark." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Li and Xiao Long for a long time before he slowly spoke, his tone was very heavy.
"Soul Eater Sign? What's that? Xiao Li didn't look like Xiao Yan was joking, and couldn't help but get nervous.
"The Soul Devouring Dafa is an evil technique that the old Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan has to order to prohibit"
Xiao Yao took over and told all his experiences over the years.
After listening to Xiao Yao's statement, everyone was frightened, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a vicious practice in the world.
"It's over, this function makes the Old Demon Emperor issue a ban, doesn't that mean that this skill is not solved?" Xiao Qi was in a hurry, grabbed Xiao Li's hand, and almost cried.
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shili Rises (4)
"Xiao Qi, don't worry, you didn't see that the old man was fine, but his skills have improved greatly? With your husband here, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Xiao Yao hurriedly comforted Xiao Qi.
"Xiao Yan again?" Everyone looked up, all staring at Xiao Yan.
"You don't have to look at me like this, I do have the antidote to this mark, but I was lucky enough to get it from the relics of the old demon emperor." Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed by everyone, sneered, and then flipped it in his hand, and two Soul Devouring Pills appeared in his hand.
"Your Xiao clan has a Xiao Yan, which is simply God's favor for the Xiao clan." Emperor Ming saw Xiao Li and Xiao Long Er taking the pill, and there was a trace of irrepressible approval in his eyes, "It's just that even the small characters of the Soul Demon Clan have cultivated this kind of exercise, and I think this exercise must have been popularized in the Soul Demon Clan." ”
"The soul demon clan is so bold, they are not afraid of being hunted down and killed by the whole continent if they cultivate such an evil technique?" The demon world said angrily, looking at the black lines that kept popping up on Xiao Li and Xiao Long's bodies, and he was slightly shocked.
"Now that the demon clan is divided and has not yet been unified, the soul demon clan has fully cultivated this skill, and its intentions are really unpredictable, which is worrying." The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, "It's a pity, because there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise it will definitely cause public anger among the soul demon clan." Therefore, we must not act rashly now, and we must wait for the right time to deal a fatal blow to the soul demon clan. ”
Just when Xiao Yan and Xiao Yao were worried about the spread of the Soul Devouring Dafa, a hurricane-like sound came from the northeast of the Xiao clan's territory, and countless figures landed on the Xiao clan's territory like meteors falling from the sky.
"Xiao Yan, I have been ordered by you to let you be the leader in the future, and I hope you can keep your promise and treat our clan well." The patriarch of the extermination clan looked at Xiao Yan, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly bloomed with an unprecedented light at this moment, it seemed that as long as Xiao Yan repented, he would immediately order the extermination of the clan to fight with the Xiao clan, and he did not want to let the exterminator follow a capricious villain.
"Since I am a subordinate of my Xiao clan after the extermination of the clan, I will naturally not treat the people of my clan badly." Xiao Yan nodded, understanding the worry of the patriarch of the exterminating clan, and suddenly had a trace of respect for this patriarch who was persecuted and made a big mistake.
Seeing Xiao Yan nodding and looking at himself with assured eyes, the patriarch of the exterminating clan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hugged his fist at Xiao Yan, and then turned around and walked out of the valley, the lonely back seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and even his steps were a little staggering.
Looking at the patriarch who had left gloomily, the exterminators all gritted their teeth and watched with tears in their eyes, and for a while, the atmosphere in the valley was a little heavy.
"Xiao Shao, you won't just let him go, right? I didn't seem to have that promise at first. Xiao Zhan leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Since he can bring all his people and let me assure him, he will keep his promise." Xiao Yan put his hands behind his back and continued, "It's just that as the patriarch of a clan, it is the faith of the whole clan, and he is unwilling to judge himself in front of his own clan and ruin the image in their hearts. ”
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shili Rises (5)
"Xiao Zhan, go, invite the patriarch back, remember to be fast, you want to live!" Xiao Yan suddenly said to Xiao Zhan, a smile blooming on his face.
"Why?" Xiao Zhan was puzzled, "I'm still doubting if he will cut himself." ”
"Please come back and find out." Xiao Yan refused to uncover the mystery, "Go ahead, you must not let him die, and you can't appear without my signal." ”
"Yes."
Just when Xiao Zhan was half-convinced and half-convinced and ordered to chase after the top of the mountain, the figure of the patriarch of the exterminating clan had just disappeared from the mountain that had turned past, and a strong wave of fighting qi rose, but it quickly disappeared in the air, as if it had been cut off by something.
The exterminators knelt down, couldn't see the scenery on the other side of the mountain, and their hearts were sad because of the death of the patriarch, their eyes looked at Xiao Yan complicatedly, and they were uneasy in their hearts, not knowing what their fate would be in the future.
"Becoming a king or defeating a king, you should know that all this is also caused by you watching my Xiao clan. If you swing a knife at my Xiao clan, you must be prepared to fail and be destroyed, so to speak, even if I, Xiao Yan, uproot your clan. Xiao Yan's tone was awe-inspiring, and the killing intent in his eyes swept away, which suddenly made the hands and feet of the dissatisfied and unwilling people weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground, thinking that Xiao Yan was going to break his word.
"However, I, Xiao Yan, am not a bloodthirsty person, since your patriarch has not broken his trust for you, I, Xiao Yan, will naturally not break my word." As soon as Xiao Yan's tone changed, the killing intent immediately disappeared into invisibility.
Only then did the exterminator react from his trembling, and his eyes began to be full of awe when he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Now, I'm giving you a choice." Xiao Yan was still quite satisfied with the performance of the extermination, and said slowly, "First, voluntarily submit to my Xiao clan and become a branch of my Xiao clan, I promise that I will never treat you badly, your treatment is no different from that of my Xiao clan, and those who have made outstanding contributions to the Xiao clan can also get high-level fighting skills." ”
"What, as an affiliated shili, can you still have such haode treatment?" The exterminators talked a lot, and the patriarch had already revealed a lot of Xiao Yan's details before he came, so they didn't have much doubt about Xiao Yan's words.
However, although many people began to be moved, the death of their patriarch still made many people have an instinctive resistance to joining the Xiao clan.
"If you don't want to join my Xiao clan, you can leave, and I, Xiao Yan, will never stop you. It's just that the people who have left are not allowed to reorganize and exterminate the clan, this is my greatest tolerance for Xiao Yan, and those who dare to disobey" Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the heavenly fire eternal ruler slashed out in the air, and the weight of a thousand catties was wantonly swayed in Xiao Yan's hands, falling heavily, the ground shook, and countless cracks spread in all directions with the heavy ruler as the center, and only stopped until the feet of the exterminators.
This scene scared everyone's souls, and they no longer dared to take chances.
"By the way, I forgot to remind you, now that you are gone, there must be a lot of people who have offended Shili before and are eyeing him, planning to fall into the well, although I will not stop the people who have left, but life and death have nothing to do with me." Xiao Yan didn't speak again after putting aside such a faint sentence, waiting for the reply of the exterminator, but this invisible potential danger made many people who planned to leave take back their steps.
