899. Receiving people and acting accordingly
"The entire Heavenly Tomb? But... you just said that the Heavenly Tomb is imbued with spirits?"
Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned by Xiao Xuan's answer.
"It is precisely because it possesses a spirit that I am able to make you the master of the Heavenly Tomb. In fact, I could have done this long ago, but no one from the Xiao Clan has come for so many years, and I have been waiting for the opportunity for the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan to come in person. However, after this incident, I'm afraid the two of them will not make the same mistake again, so this Heavenly Tomb is just sitting empty anyway, so I might as well give it to you as a gift. Of course, I will still remain inside the Heavenly Tomb, and you will be able to come and go freely from now on."
Hearing Xiao Xuan's explanation, Xiao Yan was overjoyed. After all, if his ancestor could be by his side at all times like Yao Lao was before, it would be of great help to him.
At the same time, Xiao Yan had a feeling that he might really have to thank Gu Yu. The help he received from Gu Yu in entering the Heavenly Tomb was far more than Xiao Yan had imagined.
……
After Xiao Xuan fought fiercely with Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan, both the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan left. In the remaining months, there were no more intense clashes in the Heavenly Tomb, and the remaining Dou Di descendants were all fully immersed in cultivation.
Meanwhile, at the cultivation grounds found by the Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan, another spatial vortex appeared, and Xiao Yan emerged from it.
With a sweep of his soul power, Xiao Yan sensed six auras here, one of which was Lei Jingxiao, whom he had come to find.
"Hmm, Xiao Yan?" Yao Xingji reacted, and in a flash, appeared in front of Xiao Yan: "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to pick them up." Xiao Yan then pointed to Lei Jingxiao, who was sitting cross-legged to the side.
Sensing that Lei Jingxiao, aside from some physical injuries, was otherwise in good health and even possessed a resilient fighting spirit, showing signs of recovery after initial damage, Xiao Yan was relieved to see that Lei Jingxiao's fundamental health had not been compromised.
"Picking someone up?"
Lei Dong, intrigued by Xiao Yan's sudden appearance, approached him and asked, "I didn't expect you to advance to Dou Sheng in such a short time. You were the one who fought fiercely with Hun Feng and Gu Qingyang a while ago, weren't you?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not deny it, but nodded: "That's right."
This simple answer, however, dealt a huge blow to the four members of the Medicine Clan and the Stone Clan. They had all witnessed the fluctuations firsthand, and they never expected that besides the renowned Hun Feng and Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan was also among them. They had all seen Xiao Yan enter the Heavenly Tomb, and yet, among the Half-Saints, his strength was only considered average!
Seeing that his guess was correct, Lei Dong's eyes burned with even more fighting spirit: "Interesting. Even with Xiao Xuan backing you up, facing two Dou Sheng at the same time is enough to prove your extraordinary nature."
Faced with Lei Dong's undisguised admiration and provocation, Xiao Yan's expression remained calm and composed, and he simply replied, "Just lucky."
After saying that, he ignored Lei Dong and moved slightly to walk towards Lei Jingxiao.
scoff!
A piercing crack of electricity rang out, and with a casual wave of Lei Dong's right hand, a lightning cage appeared out of thin air beside Lei Jingxiao. Violent lightning power churned within it, its energy fluctuations incredibly powerful.
"Although this kid is useless, he is still one of our Lei Clan members. If you want to take him away, shouldn't you ask for my opinion as the leader?" A few sparks of electricity appeared in Lei Dong's eyes.
Everyone present understood that Lei Dong's true interest wasn't in Lei Jingxiao, but in Xiao Yan, who had suddenly appeared. Lei Dong, who had always been considered the number one among the younger generation, was clearly quite interested in Xiao Yan.
Without pausing for a moment, Xiao Yan strolled leisurely into the thunderous cage.
Just as Xiao Yan's footsteps struck the raging lightning, a layer of warm, jade-like protection, like a veil, appeared on his skin. Seemingly thin, yet extremely resilient, it was none other than the Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe that Xiao Xuan had crafted for him!
When the raging lightning struck the Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, silently neutralized by the soft light on the surface of the Insect Emperor's Robe.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the others, Xiao Yan walked into the Thunder Cage. No matter how fiercely the lightning danced, capable of injuring a half-saint, it couldn't harm Xiao Yan in the slightest.
Xiao Yan glanced down at Lei Jingxiao. Just as Xiao Xuan had guessed, Lei Dong had not put Lei Jingxiao in any real danger, except for defeating him decisively.
On the contrary, Lei Jingxiao, after a fierce battle with Lei Dong, had calmed down some of his obsessions. At this moment, with such a huge commotion, he had not been awakened, which clearly meant that he had entered the stage of the struggle. Because the groundwork had been laid well in the early stages, his aura was very stable at this moment, and Xiao Yan would not be so reckless as to wake him up.
He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, and pressed it lightly against the ground beneath Lei Jingxiao. Then, he forcefully cleaved the earth around him, intending to take him away.
After doing all this, the spatial vortex behind Xiao Yan, which connected to Xiao Xuan's tomb, opened again.
Seeing Xiao Yan ignore his warnings, easily break through his lightning blockade, and even try to take him away right in front of him, Lei Dong could no longer suppress the anger of being slighted. He, Lei Dong, the number one young talent of the Lei Clan, had never been so disrespected before.
"What an arrogant fellow!"
Lei Dong no longer held back. With a wave of his right hand, a deafening dragon's roar resounded, and a gigantic lightning dragon composed entirely of silver lightning instantly materialized. The violent lightning power made Yao Xingji and the others turn pale, and they retreated hastily.
The thunder dragon roared and lunged straight at Xiao Yan's back! Lei Dong's attack was powerful enough to threaten an ordinary one-star Dou Sheng, forcing Xiao Yan to turn around and deal with it, preventing him from easily taking his people away.
This time, Xiao Yan didn't turn around. He simply raised his right hand calmly, and a ball of black flame shot out from it. The appearance of this flame didn't change the surrounding temperature. Instead, it generated a strange suction force, directly causing the roaring thunder dragon to crash into the vortex.
A deafening roar erupted within the black hole, but no matter how much it struggled, the lightning couldn't affect Xiao Yan. In the blink of an eye, the enormous lightning dragon vanished without a trace. The black hole in Xiao Yan's palm also slowly contracted, transforming back into a quietly burning ball of black flame, before silently returning to his body. Throughout the entire process, Xiao Yan didn't even pause for a moment.
