Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 578 Bad things always come one after another
Yao Wan blinked her light golden eyes and naturally noticed Xiao Yan's indescribable gaze.

She naturally noticed Xiao Yan's flickering eyes for a moment, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

What, are you scared now?

She couldn't help but slightly narrow her light golden eyes, and while humming silently, she gently teased Xiao Yan with her eyes, as if she was joking, or teasing with a hint of playfulness, like a gleam of light revealed when a cat teases its prey.

There's no use being afraid, huh.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. It was the first time he saw Wan'er show such an expression. There was a hint of pride and playfulness in her expression that came from a prominent family, but it was not enough to make people feel uncomfortable. Instead, it made him take a deep breath unconsciously, savoring the splendor and flamboyance that she accidentally displayed at this moment.

The sense of disappointment caused by the gap in realm between them disappeared in the blink of an eye, and what replaced it was only the lingering emotion like sandalwood under the moonlight, lingering at the tip of the nose all the time.

Xiao Yan had thanked himself countless times in his heart that meeting Wan'er was the greatest blessing of his life.

But he still shook his head. Now was not the time to reminisce about the past. He turned his head and met Xun'er's gaze.

Xun'er's originally slightly wary gaze towards Yao Wan suddenly melted away like spring water, and she couldn't help but reveal a smile. As long as Brother Xiao Yan was safe and sound, it would be great.

Xiao Yan signaled Xun'er with his eyes to be patient, then he turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan, who was smiling and looking very satisfied as he slowly walked towards him.

"Ancestor."

Xiao Yan saluted solemnly.

Xiao Xuan smiled with satisfaction, and with a gentle look in his eyes, he helped Xiao Yan up and said, "Well, you did a great job, Xiao Yan. Now, the new bloodline has been integrated into your body... There is hope for the Xiao clan to be revived, and my years of waiting are worth it... However, this time you should thank not only me..."

Xiao Xuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. It was not convenient for him to speak up. He just signaled Xiao Yan with his eyes and looked at Yao Wan and Xun'er beside the pool.

How could Xiao Yan not understand what his ancestors meant? With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? But one thing is one thing, there is no need to make such a clear distinction between them, especially in front of the elders. Xiao Yan will naturally compensate them well in the future.

"Xiao Yan, now that you have accepted the blood inheritance, the new blood is still weak and has not completely replaced the blood in your body. You must not let it go wrong. It will be the key to whether you can reach the Emperor Realm."

Although it was like a blessing after a long drought, Xiao Xuan was indeed overjoyed, but he also knew that Xiao Yan was just starting out now, and the enemy he needed to face was one of the top existences in the entire continent. Xiao Xuan also understood the situation of the Xiao clan, so it was naturally difficult for him to feel at ease.

"If you can reach the Emperor Realm, the abandoned bloodlines in the bodies of those members of the Xiao Clan will have vitality again, and the bloodline power will be stronger than before!"

"This is the only real hope to revive the Xiao clan!"

Xiao Yan nodded silently and placed his palm on his chest. Faintly, he could feel the powerful beating of his heart, stirring the hot blood and running it through the meridians of his body. It was as if a dragon and a phoenix were dancing and crying in it, causing endless fighting spirit to flow through it, surging endlessly and causing waves.

"Okay, now that the bloodline is complete, the only thing left is the clan crest..."

As Xiao Xuan spoke, a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand and he handed it to Xiao Yan.

"The final method of cultivating the clan emblem is in it. Xiao Yan, cultivate your own nine clan emblems. I will wait for you."

Everything Xiao Yan has done now is enough to prove that he can be entrusted with everything. That is why Xiao Xuan is even more looking forward to Xiao Yan.

It was naturally only a matter of time before Xiao Yan cultivated his own clan emblem.

Since then, another half a year has passed.

"boom!"

During the past six months, from time to time, one could hear the sound of Xiao Yan carving the clan emblem for himself, as if it were the sound of a stone hammer chiseling or metal being smelted and hammered. This was very different from the clan emblem bestowed upon Yao Wan and Xun'er.

In this regard, Yao Wan and Xun'er could not help but feel a little curious about what kind of magical powers the Xiao clan's self-cultivated clan emblem had.

The fingernail-sized clan emblem between Xiao Yan's eyebrows had already evolved from its original form. Under Xiao Yan's practice, with his vast amount of terrifying fighting spirit and unparalleled control ability, he carved his clan emblem on his forehead as if with a knife or an axe.

The ancient patterns that have not been seen in the world for thousands of years contain unspeakable sacredness and power, and have been echoing continuously in the past six months.

Until the end, after nine crisp echoes, when the last stroke of the clan pattern was completed on Xiao Yan’s forehead, the bloodline of the most powerful ancient race in the past was undoubtedly revealed.

A red-gold nine-stroke clan pattern at the center of Xiao Yan's brow revealed a divine light, causing a tremor in the Xiao Mansion, as if this lonely world that had been silent for a thousand years was celebrating that the fire of a long-cherished wish had finally been ignited again.

If one observes carefully, it is not difficult to find that Xiao Yan's clan emblem is actually faintly colorful. However, unlike the colorful golden clan emblems that Yao Wan and Xun'er obtained when they awakened their bloodlines, Xiao Yan's color is very light, still dominated by red and gold.

The faint seven-color glaze was more like the colorful glaze left after smelting in a fierce fire, just like his seven-color fire now, burning like a raging fire, and then quickly returned to calm under his control. Xiao Yan's eyes regained clarity, and he turned to look at Xiao Xuan who had always looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Xuan nodded and smiled, saying everything.

And now that everything has been settled, there is no need to worry about anything. In two years, he has not only successfully awakened his bloodline, but also successfully cultivated his own clan emblem. It can be said that he has completely made up for the original gap between himself and the geniuses of the eight clans.

However, what Xiao Yan needs to emulate now is naturally not those geniuses of the ancient clans.

Moreover, with Xiao Yan's current strength, even if the geniuses of the eight clans were tied together, they would not be enough for him to defeat alone.

But after knowing his mission, Xiao Yan would naturally no longer limit his vision to the geniuses of the eight clans. If he wanted to revive the Xiao clan, which had been in decline for a thousand years, it was obviously far from enough to just do this.

"In this way, the gap between you and the eight clans has been narrowed."

Xiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction. From his perspective, apart from Yao Wan, who had become a semi-saint and achieved the great perfection of the heavenly realm, there was probably no one among the younger generation of the eight clans who could be an enemy of Xiao Yan.

Although he was happy, Xiao Xuan did not forget what kind of enemy Xiao Yan would have to face.

"However, we still have to be more careful with the Soul Clan. I have dealt with them many times. This race is particularly weird. Even when the Xiao Clan was at its peak, it could only keep up with them. Among the eight ancient clans, the Xiao Clan had a period of prosperity. At that time, among the eight clans, the Xiao Clan was the strongest, followed by the Ancient Clan, but the Soul Clan is the weirdest."

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"The Emperor Jade is still on you, so the Soul Clan will certainly not let you go. Be careful after you leave this time."

"Well... Xiao Yan understands."

Xiao Yan naturally understood, and at the same time, Yao Wan couldn't help but take the opportunity to say, "By the way, Senior Xiao Xuan, I have two more things I want to discuss with you."

"Oh? Wan'er, is there anything else you don't understand about the soul realm?"

Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows, then smiled softly. He was naturally very patient with the future daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.

What's more, her talent was no less than Xiao Yan's, and she was even much better than Xiao Yan in terms of research on martial arts and soul realm. It went without saying that Xiao Yan benefited a lot from having her by his side.

"Senior Xiao Xuan, have you ever heard of the Soul Devouring Clan?"

"Spirit Devouring Clan?"

Hearing Yao Wan mention this rather unfamiliar word, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly, then shook his head.

"I can only say that I have heard of the ancient soul-devouring clan. They are quite strange and can devour everything and transform it into their own use."

"But didn't such a race die out long ago?"

Xiao Xuan's answer made Yao Wan frown slightly. The answer from the patriarch of the Xiao clan, the strongest of the eight clans a thousand years ago, also made Yao Wan immediately realize that the Soul-Swallowing Clan seemed to be still in a dormant state a thousand years ago. The only record at present is that the Soul-Swallowing Half-Saint invaded the border of Zhongzhou a thousand years ago and was killed by Yun Potian.

"What happened to the Soul Devourers? What went wrong?"

Xiao Xuan immediately sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

Yao Wan and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and Xiao Yan immediately recounted to Xiao Xuan what had happened in the Northwest Continent before and the conflict between them and the Soul-Devouring Clan.

"I never thought that there would be such a great threat in the Douqi Continent."

Xiao Xuan frowned, and immediately realized that the Soul Devouring Clan was by no means simple: "There may be a Dou Sheng-level warrior behind the Soul Devouring Clan, and their strength is probably not inferior to the many warriors among the eight clans."

What Xiao Xuan meant also made Xun'er frown slightly. The strength that Xiao Xuan took seriously should be at the level of the ancient clan. Xun'er knew the strength of the ancient clan very well. Not to mention the Soul Clan, now there is an additional Soul Devouring Clan...

In response to this, Xiao Yan and Yao Wan nodded slightly. As old acquaintances on the battlefield, they knew very well what kind of force could throw away Dou Zun-level combat power for free?

In their impression, who else could it be other than the Soul Clan?

But as luck would have it, there is probably some connection between these two forces, and bad things really do happen one after another.
