Chapter 50: The Return of the Emperor's Bloodline?!
A moment later, Xiao Cang completely devoured and refined the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, making it his own. His cultivation also broke through to the Six-Star Dou Huang in the last moment, and the Supreme Flame Canon was pushed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to a level infinitely close to the high-level Heavenly Stage technique.
"Boom!" Xiao Cang's aura swept again, and the terrifying power made everyone in the Xiao family tremble with fear.
On the Xiao family square, Xiao Mei, who was practicing, showed a look of shock and longing on her pretty face that was both immature and charming. Such a strong person is what she admired the most.
"Brother Xiao Cang…"
Xiao Mei bit her thin lips and murmured softly. She increasingly felt that pleasing Xiao Cang was a very correct decision.
Even at this time, she felt that it didn't matter whether she joined the Yunlan Sect or not. As long as she could follow Xiao Cang in the future, would she still worry about not becoming stronger?
Outside the Xiao family.
"This aura is at least at the level of a Five or Six-Star Dou Huang."
"What kind of adventure does this kid have that he has progressed so fast?!"
"Wait, could it be… the return of the Emperor's bloodline?"
[T/N: Emperor's bloodline refers to Ancient Emperor Bloodline (Dou Di Level) that all Ancient Clans used to have, even the declined Ancient Xiao Clan ]
Ling Ying suddenly frowned, thinking of this possibility.
The resurgence of the Emperor's bloodline is not an uncommon occurrence.
In many ancient clans, descendants with a higher quality of the Emperor's bloodline often emerge unexpectedly from side branches with originally thin bloodlines.
Ling Ying hadn't considered this earlier because the Xiao family had been in decline for so long. The Emperor's bloodline in the bodies of the Xiao family members was almost nonexistent, making the probability of the bloodline returning extremely low.
However, Xiao Cang's recent performance has led Ling Ying to increasingly suspect a return of the Emperor's bloodline.
"Should I report this to the patriarch?" Ling Ying wondered aloud.
Just then, a cold and beautiful figure appeared beside him.
"Uncle Shadow,"
she greeted. It was Xun'er. She came to Ling Ying's side, turned around, and looked in the direction of Xiao Cang's room, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Uncle Shadow, what is your opinion of Brother Xiao Cang?"
Xun'er asked after a moment of infatuated gazing. Ling Ying pondered for a moment before responding solemnly, "Xiao Cang possesses extraordinary talent. He is a rare top genius on the continent."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Cang's talent is extraordinary. I fear no one on the continent can match him,"
Xun'er echoed, love emerging in her beautiful eyes. Her voice suddenly changed, "Then Uncle Shadow, what do you think would happen if my father or some old stubborn people in the clan learned about Brother Xiao Cang's talent?"
"This…"
Ling Ying wore a serious expression. Before he came to the Xiao family to protect Xun'er, he had heard some secrets from an elder of the ancient clan.
The ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Xuan, was also a top Dou Saint powerhouse. But Xiao Xuan decided to risk everything and rush to the Emperor's realm to save the Xiao family's Emperor's bloodline.
Before Xiao Xuan secluded himself, he entrusted the Xiao family to the ancient clans.
However, Xiao Xuan failed to break through, and the ancient clans not only failed to keep their promise to protect the Xiao family, but also targeted the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade after the Xiao family declined.
In other words, in the eyes of many influential people in the ancient clans, their relationship with the Xiao family is extremely awkward.
If they knew that Xiao Cang might have the Emperor's bloodline, they might worry that Xiao Cang will grow up in the future and become an enemy of the ancient clans because of the ancient clan's breach of promise.
In that case, "Xiao Cang may be in danger," Ling Ying said with a heavy tone.
"Danger ?"
Xun'er echoed. Upon hearing these words, her cold demeanor suddenly changed. Her eyes became sharp, and her tone was cold, "Uncle Shadow should understand that Xun'er will never allow anyone to hurt Brother Xiao Cang. So, does Uncle Shadow understand what I mean?"
Ling Ying's body shook, and he immediately understood, solemnly stating, "Miss Xun'er, don't worry, my task is merely to ensure your safety. Other matters… have nothing to do with me."
"If that's the case, then Xun'er will thank Uncle Shadow on behalf of Brother Xiao Cang,"
Xun'er said, her fierce aura dissipating as she smiled warmly at Ling Ying.
"What is Miss Xun'er talking about? This is my duty"
Ling Ying said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Uncle Shadow understands, that's good,"
Xun'er replied, stroking a strand of blue silk by her ear. She smiled charmingly and then returned to the Xiao family with a lively and happy pace.
Ling Ying watched Xun'er's departing figure, then looked in the direction of Xiao Cang's room, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"I didn't expect that the first time Miss Xun'er would put pressure on me, it would be for that kid… oh well!"
Inside the room, Xiao Cang was suppressing his aura.
"Six-Star Dou Huang!"
he exclaimed, extremely excited.
Despite feeling the aura in his body flowing like a rushing river, he didn't linger to enjoy it. Instead, he flew out of the room directly. He knew that the aura he had just released would definitely alarm Ling Ying.
To prevent Ling Ying from reporting this matter to the ancient clan, he needed to see Ling Ying and persuade him not to convey this matter to the ancient clan, at least not for now. If necessary, he would consider taking action to force Ling Ying to agree to him.
But as soon as he rushed out of the room, he saw a beautiful young girl sitting in the courtyard. The girl's temperament was cold, like a clear lotus, and she was beautiful.
"Brother Xiao Cang"
Xun'er greeted as soon as she saw Xiao Cang, immediately standing up happily.
"Xun'er"
Xiao Cang replied, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
"Why are you here?"
He walked up to her and directly hugged Xun'er's slender waist.
"What, can't Xun'er come if she misses you?"
Xun'er's jade arm circled Xiao Cang's neck, and she spoke softly.
"Of course you can. By the way, Xun'er, call Ling Ying out. I have something to say to him" Xiao Cang said.
Upon hearing this, Xun'er showed a smile of merit, "If Brother Xiao Cang wants Uncle Shadow to keep your breakthrough a secret, then you don't need to. Xun'er has just reminded Uncle Shadow."
Xiao Cang was taken aback, and then laughed. This girl Xun'er, she really is considerate. He reached out and gently rubbed Xun'er's little head, and said with affection, "Our Xun'er is really good to her husband."
"That's natural" Xun'er also showed a happy smile.
Since Ling Ying didn't need him to come forward, Xiao Cang went back to the room again. He spread his right palm, and a ball of white fire appeared. The cold and bone-chilling temperature seemed to be not a ball of fire, but a piece of ten thousand years of ice.
"Three Heavenly Flames" Xiao Cang thought, and the Beast Spirit Fire and the Ghost Poison Fire (Netherworld Poison Fire) also emerged. Three different fires floated in front of him, each emitting a terrifying fluctuation!
"If I use the Five Rounds of Li Fire again, the power will directly reach the level of low-level Heavenly Stage skill!"
Xiao Cang's eyes were excited, and after admiring for a while, he was satisfied to put away the different fires, and looked at Yao Chen again.
Yao Chen, who had lost the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, became even weaker, and his soul body was almost transparent, almost nothing.
Yao Chen appeared so frail that it seemed a gust of wind could blow him away.
"He's truly pitiful"
Xiao Cang remarked, shaking his head sympathetically. He casually shot a ball of fighting spirit into Yao Chen's body, restoring some of his soul power. Yao Chen's transparent soul then solidified slightly, but it remained extremely weak.
"Well, considering you might still be useful, I will give you a mark of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire"
Xiao Cang declared, pointing at the center of Yao Chen's soul body with his fingers. Suddenly, a cold white flame mark lit up on Yao Chen's eyebrows. Xiao Cang once again manifested the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and a white fire lotus split out a flame and merged into Yao Chen's body.
"Thank you, master"
Yao Chen thanked him respectfully. A cold white fire light spread from his eyebrows, enveloping his illusory soul body, and his wilting appearance recovered slightly.
"Hmm"
Xiao Cang nodded, then waved his sleeve, and Yao Chen was collected back into the storage ring.
As for the other treasures in the storage ring, Xiao Cang didn't check them one by one. Because he now possesses many powerful fighting techniques, he doesn't need to learn other fighting techniques.
Moreover, the fighting techniques he acquired from the system are all automatically learned. If he were to learn fighting techniques again, he would have to start from scratch, which would be too slow.
However, the many elixirs and treasures inside can be slowly checked in the future. Those that he doesn't need can be used to strengthen the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect.
After all, for him, the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect are his base. If he were to establish a power in the future, he would definitely include the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect. And the treasures of Yao Chen are enough to provide him with a very rich foundation in the early stage of his establishment of power.
But for now, Xiao Cang sorted out his thoughts and looked outside the house, saying lightly, "Having returned to Wutan City for so long, it's time to start reorganizing."
