Endless Devouring

Chapter 216
Everyone showed contempt, clearly looking down on the Xiao family.

If the Xiao family was still the same Xiao family back then, they would not dare to neglect, even if Xiao Ding was arrogant, they would take it for granted, and would even agree with Xiao Ding and Xun'er's marriage contract.

But now that the Xiao family has fallen to this point, it is obvious that they are here to find protection from their ancient clan, and they are going to send them under the fence. They are used to being aloof, so how can they take it to heart?
The members of the Xiao family looked aggrieved. From the eyes of these people, they knew that their family was once very powerful, but now it is nothing at all.

People don't bother to give them any good looks.

Xiao Ding sneered, he already knew this would happen.

So instead of these people showing embarrassment to them, he might as well be a little more arrogant, let these people know that the Xiao family has him, and Xun'er, his fiancée, is not easy to mess with.

"Patriarch, the strength of the Xiao family is so weak, is it not good to come to my ancient world for nothing?"

It's that bullshit elder expressing his opinion again.

"Old man, don't talk nonsense if you haven't figured out the situation."

Xiao Ding was a little upset, this old guy really looked down on people, but he paid the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and it was enough for the family to live in the ancient world for a while.

The latter put his hands behind his back, raised his head and asked, "Ask yourself, what good will your Xiao family come here for my ancient family?"

"You should also ask your father-in-law why we came here."

Xiao Ding glanced at the latter: "If you haven't figured out the situation, don't be self-righteous."

"Are you teaching the old man a lesson?"

The old man suddenly became angry, and directly changed the subject: "Do young people know how to respect their elders?"

"Okay, the Xiao family paid enough to come here, I will explain the specific situation at the elder meeting, and arrange a place for them right now!"

Gu Yuan interrupted the two of them. He estimated that if they continued to talk like this, they might fight.

The elders looked at each other, and when they thought of something, they faintly smiled.

"Gu Li, you are in charge of arranging the Xiao family's people to live in. Whatever needs they have, you must meet them as much as possible."

Gu Yuan appointed a simple, honest and honest brawny Daoist.

"Yes, patriarch!"

Gu Li respectfully accepted the order.

He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and wide ears, with protruding cheekbones, and looks a little angular.

"Xiao Ding, take your clansmen to stay, and Xun'er will follow me."

Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the hands they were holding: "You can't be connected all the time, can you?"

Xun'er blushed, let go of Xiao Ding's hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Xiao Ding, I'll look for you later."

"Go, come here when the time comes, and I'll make you a medicinal meal."

Xiao Ding smiled.

Xun'er reluctantly took a step, then suddenly turned around and stood on tiptoe, kissed Xiao Ding's cheek lightly, then ran away in a panic.

Her appearance as a young girl in Huaichun made the young people of the ancient tribe sour, how they wished that Xun'er would treat them like this.

After Gu Yuan left with Xun'er, malicious eyes fell on Xiao Ding.

Gu Li walked up to Xiao Ding and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

"Trouble!"

Xiao Ding nodded, if he was polite to him, he would naturally return politeness.

"Brother Xiao Ding, don't pay too much attention to everyone's reactions. After all, Miss Xun'er has been paid attention to by everyone since the day she was born."

Gu Li chuckled: "Some brothers are similar to Xiao Ding's brother. They are still young and a bit competitive. If there is any conflict, please try to control it."

Xiao Ding glanced at Gu Li unexpectedly: "You are different from others, you are the first new face I met today that I like."

"I'm already married, and my children are not young anymore. Some things are more open-minded, and I believe in the eyes of the patriarch, brother Xiao Ding's development will not be bad in the future."

Gu Li meant a lot: "You should be the first person to talk to the patriarch like that. The patriarch is not really angry yet."

"Brother Li is careful."

Xiao Ding praised, "The most important thing is not to treat us with prejudice, which is something that elder did not do."

"Brother Xiao Ding won the award, I am the only one who fights for respect, and there is still a big gap compared with the elders."

Gu Li smiled modestly.

Xiao Ding roughly understood why Gu Yuan arranged for this person to take them. This person is really good at dealing with people.

Because of this man's gentle attitude, the originally cautious Xiao family members felt a little better and their expressions relaxed a lot.

Gu Li introduced some locations and buildings along the way, and led the crowd forward on the ground.

On the way, many eyes looked over, and every time they went to an area, there would be people discussing secretly.

"Who are they? Their strength seems to be very weak. They are qualified to be our ancient guests?"

"I heard that this is a member of the Xiao clan who came to join us. The Xiao clan has heard of it, one of the eight ancient clans!"

"Didn't it fall a long time ago, how did you get entangled with our ancient clan?"

"They are so weak, are they still worthy of the title of one of the eight ancient clans?"

A pair of skeptical and even contemptuous gazes were projected over, making the Xiao family bow their heads and feel a little inferior.

Xiao Ding murmured: "No one asks people in the busy city, but rich people have distant relatives in the mountains. It's true."

"But their level is really high."

Yun Yun sighed: "We have encountered no less than twenty Dou Zong along the way, and Dou Huang is very common."

"It's all about relying on the power of blood. If you really want to practice honestly, it's not as good as you and me."

Xiao Ding is full of confidence.

"The power of blood?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were curious.

"It is indeed because of the power of blood that everyone's strength is generally higher."

Gu Li did not deny it, and nodded: "Everyone who awakens the power of the blood will improve by leaps and bounds, and it is not difficult to become a Dou Zong or even a Dou Zun, but after that, the power of the blood is useless, and may even become a master. elbow."

The people of the Xiao family were speechless.

"No wonder, I said that I saw several teenagers who are much higher than mine who have been practicing for decades."

"The key is that it is not difficult to become a Dou Zun... What kind of bloodline is this?"

Yun Yun was also curious.

For her, it is difficult to become a Douzong, and her teacher is a typical example.

"The blood of Emperor Dou."

Gu Li glanced at Xiao Ding with a complicated expression: "Originally, your Xiao family also had it, but unfortunately, after so many years of continuous decline, the blood has gradually disappeared. Your Doudi blood is now probably stronger than those descendants of our ancient clan. Even thinner."

Xiao Zhan, who didn't say much, was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Who are the people of the ancient ethnic group?"

"It's the most ordinary and lowest-level people in this space, similar to the commoners outside you, but because the blood is too thin, they can't be regarded as real people of the ancient clan."

Gu Li explained: "However, no matter how thin the blood in their bodies is, there is still a trace of Emperor Dou's blood after all. There is a chance to awaken, so as to change their fate against the sky, control powerful power, and become real members of the ancient clan."

"My son is so outstanding, could it be that the blood of Emperor Dou of my Xiao family has awakened?"

Xiao Zhan asked expectantly.

"I didn't sense it."

Gu Li shook his head: "Perhaps this is where brother Xiao Ding is more powerful. It is really amazing to become a Douzong at such a young age without relying on the power of blood."

Xiao Zhan was a little excited, "Then is my son comparable to the supreme genius of the ancient clan?"

Coulee did not answer, but asked, "How old is he?"

"Half."

Xiao Zhan replied.

Gu Yuan was slightly startled, and looked at Xiao Ding in amazement: "You are so young? It seems that your talent is really strong, no wonder the patriarch looks at you differently."

Xiao Zhan was proud to hear that his son is so outstanding, even people of this powerful race would be surprised.

The rest of the people suddenly seemed to be greatly encouraged, and their complexions improved a lot.

The elder of the Xiao family said: "I don't know how the young master Xiao compares with the top geniuses of the nobility?"

The rest of the people were also quite concerned about this result and listened attentively.

Gu Yuan thought about it for a while, but still shook his head: "It's not as good as it is. The bloodline of Emperor Dou of our family is very powerful. Once you improve with the power of bloodline, it's not difficult to go to a big realm a year."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, this kind of blood power can indeed make people strong, but it's not until Dou Sheng, as long as you reach the realm of Dou Zun, their blood power will not have much advantage."

Yao Lao spoke secretly.

"You are finally willing to speak, I thought you were going to become dumb."

Xiao Ding teased.

"Hmph, in front of that Gu Yuan, let alone talking, even leaking a breath, you will be noticed."

"What are you afraid of? You have no enmity with him. The ancient clan is not a soul clan. They don't need a soul body. Even if you come out, they won't do anything to you. On the contrary, because you are a pharmacist, you will receive preferential treatment. "

Xiao Ding's words made Yao Lao silent, and he replied after a while: "You are right, but I think you should be more cautious, don't trust others too much, and don't give the initiative to others."

"It makes sense, okay, then I won't reveal anything about you for the time being."

Xiao Ding respects Yao Lao's opinion, there is no need to expose it.

After walking for about ten miles along the way, the scenery in front of me changed a little.

They came to a lavender bamboo forest area with small bridges and flowing water, and the environment was quiet.

The small buildings are located in the bamboo forest, looming with the breeze.

Except for Xiao Ding, the rest of the Xiao family were stunned.

They feel that it is really beautiful here.

"so beautiful."

Yun Yun's eyes were bright, and she fell in love with this place immediately.

"This Mrs. Xiao is very discerning."

Gu Li smiled: "This is the purple bamboo forest, which was originally used to receive guests.

You are also considered as guests, and then you can just live here for a long time. The basic daily necessities in the early stage will be provided by servants. Later, when you can get familiar with the environment here, you can go to the market by yourself. "

Gu Li took the lead in opening the largest courtyard: "There are a total of 36 courtyards here, and the courtyards vary in size. You can arrange the details yourself, and you can allocate rooms now."

"Thank you brother Li."

Xiao Ding clasped his fists.

"You're welcome, here I would like to remind you that the space of our ancient world is relatively large, even wider than the empire outside, but it is a space of its own after all, and there are space cracks in some places. You are not familiar with this place. A dead end.

In addition, my ancient tribe also has some forbidden places. Without permission, you must not approach them, such as the living areas of the ancient tribe, holy mountains, holy cities, etc., to avoid misunderstandings. "

"Everyone remember?"

Xiao Ding asked the clansmen, got a positive reply, and said to Gu Li: "Thank you, if Brother Li is free, I will give you a chance to treat the guests to a drink."

"it is good!"

Gu Li nodded: "I won't disturb your internal arrangements!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Xiao Ding to hand over the keys of all the courtyards, and then clapped his hands and left.

Xiao Ding held the key and looked at the clansmen: "From today onwards, we will temporarily live in the territory of the ancient clan. Although the environment here is beautiful, the energy of the heaven and earth is stronger than outside, and it is a good place for cultivation.

But this place is not yours after all, I hope you will concentrate on hard work in the future, and don't go out to find trouble and be jealous. "

He doesn't care about being under the fence here, because he has a thick skin, and the key is his strength.

Considering that he has just joined the Dou Zong as a newcomer, he can take care of the fellow Dou Zong casually, and he is not afraid of low-level Dou Zun. His peers in the ancient clan can't be threatened, and the older generation dares to make a move, so don't blame him for saying that he relies on the strong to bully the weak.

But the tribe is different, and their strength is too weak. In this environment, the best choice is to practice hard and improve their strength so that they can have more voice.

"Yes, patriarch."

The younger generation spoke in unison.

The rest also nodded in agreement.

In fact, after seeing the strength of the ancient tribe, they were basically frightened, how could they ask for trouble.

"Now Dad, you come to divide the residence, I will live in this yard!"

Xiao Ding dragged Yun Yun straight in, leaving his father and the others to deal with the allocation of the courtyard.

"You are quite qualified as a hands-off shopkeeper."

Yun Yun gave Xiao Ding a blank look.

"I am the most talented in the Xiao family, and my strength has improved the fastest. It is cost-effective to spend the time dealing with these chores on cultivation."

Xiao Ding shrugged: "You are the same, as the patriarch's wife of my Xiao family, you have to improve faster."

At the same time, the center of the ancient world, above the ancient holy mountain, within the holy city.

A high-level meeting has begun.

Most of the people who attended the meeting were white-haired old men, and there were also people in black armor with strong aura.

No matter what appearance or age, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are strong!
All these people have reached above Dou Zun, and the leader is Dou Sheng, and he is not an ordinary Dou Sheng.

They are the rulers of the various factions of the ancient clan. Together, they can decide the major issues of the entire ancient clan.

Even this meeting can restrict the patriarch to a certain extent.

Gu Yuan walked in from the door, and when everyone saw it, they all got up and signaled.

"Everyone, you are welcome, continue to sit. The reason why I called you here today is that you probably know something about it."

Gu Yuan cut to the chase: "This time I brought the Xiao family to the ancient world because of the key of the Xiao family, which is now in Xun'er's hands."

Everyone looked happy.

"I didn't expect to get another key so easily."

"The old man is quite surprised that the Xiao family can still keep this key."

"It doesn't matter if we get it, with their strength, they have no ability to keep the key now."

Many elders expressed their opinions and whispered to each other.

"It's not over yet."

Gu Yuan's face was slightly cold: "The Hall of Souls has already set its sights on Xiao's family, to be exact, this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. This time I take them away, which is equivalent to robbing their target halfway, and the Palace of Souls will definitely notice it. Be more careful recently."

"It also involves the Soul Palace?" The old man who sat second only to Gu Yuan frowned: "Then the price is not small. They will probably find out soon that it was our Gu clan who made the move. Trouble."
