Chapter 352: Xiao Family Exterminated
After a while, everyone left one after another.
At this moment, Xiao Se, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran were the only three people left in the square.
"Why can't I see Gu He?" Xiao Se asked Yun Yun casually.
From the very beginning, Xiao Se had been observing everyone but found that there was no trace of Gu He at all.
As for this old man Gu He, apart from liking Yun Yun, Xiao Se didn't dislike him in other aspects. He was also a good person. If he joined the Sea Alliance, it would be even more powerful.
Hearing this, Yun Yun glanced at him with her beautiful eyes but did not answer. It was obvious that she was still a little upset about Xiao Se and Queen Medusa.
Seeing that Yun Yun seemed to be sulking, Xiao Se felt embarrassed for a moment, and then asked Nalan Yanran: "Yanran, do you know?"
"Brother Xiao Se. Oh no, leader." Nalan Yanran was interrupted by Xiao Se before she could finish her words. "Just call me the same as before. You are Yun'er's disciple, but also my friend. There is no need for us to be like this."
Hearing Xiao Se's words, Nalan Yanran was moved and nodded heavily, "Grandpa Gu He left Yunlan Sect more than a month ago."
Having said this, Nalan Yanran's eyes unconsciously turned to Yun Yun.
Xiao Se suddenly realized that, as expected, after the old man Gu He learned about the relationship between Yun Yun and himself, he left home to live in seclusion in the mountains, just like in the original novel, disheartened.
Wutan City.
As evening approached and the sun was setting, the sunset glow in the west and the major buildings in Wutan City complemented each other, which was very beautiful.
Normally the moon wouldn't appear so early at this time.
However, there is one place that seems out of place, eerie, and gloomy - the Xiao family.
A blood-red full moon hangs high in the sky.
Crows circled and cried.
The buildings are in a dilapidated state.
"What's going on?" As soon as he returned to the Xiao family, Xiao Yan found that something was wrong. It was quiet, too quiet.
The silence seemed a little scary. The Xiao family, which was usually crowded with people, seemed particularly deserted. The guards who used to stand in an orderly manner at the gate and were very powerful were now nowhere to be seen. There was even a faint smell of blood in the air.
Countless crows were circling in the sky above the Xiao family's residence as if something in the Xiao family was attracting them.
"Oh no, Xiao Yan, something might have happened to the Xiao family. The aura of the Soul Palace is lingering here." Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he felt that something was wrong. His brows were furrowed, and he kicked open the door of the Xiao family. He felt dizzy, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
"Ah" corpses, corpses all over the ground, there were corpses of Xiao family guards, Xiao family maids, Xiao family side branch disciples, and Xiao family direct disciples. The once bustling Xiao family is now littered with corpses and blood.
It's not that Xiao Yan has never killed people. Not only that, he has killed quite a few, for example, the Mo family in Yancheng, because he suspected that the Mo Tie mercenary group was hiding the continent's first unique pupil, the Green Snake Three Flower Pupil, so he captured his brother. Later, he discovered that the Mo family had been conducting experiments on monsters and humans for many years. In a fit of rage, he used the power of Yao Lao to slaughter the entire family.
No one from the Mohist school, regardless of gender, age, or even infants, was left alive.
Xiao Yan did not have any psychological burden about this. Not to mention that the Mo family deserved the punishment, even if there were a few innocent people, it had little to do with him. After all, those who died were not his own family.
But now it's different. This time, the dead are family members. Looking around the Xiao family, there is almost no one alive.
"Xiao Yan, calm down and take a deep breath. I know that a big change has happened in the Xiao family, but the more times like this you have to stay calm." Yao Lao's voice sounded again.
"Inhale and exhale." Following Yao Lao's instructions, Xiao Yan took a long breath. He finally caught his breath and asked while searching: "Where's my father? Where's my father?"
After a while, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Zhan's body was not found. Not finding the body at least meant that there was a possibility that he was still alive.
At this moment, Yao Lao's old voice suddenly sounded beside Xiao Yan's ear, "Xiao Yan, there seems to be a survivor in the west wing, go check it out."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up and he quickly walked into the west wing, which was the Xiao family's kitchen.
"The person is hiding in the rice jar." Yao Lao reminded.
Xiao Yan nodded heavily, walked slowly to the rice jar, and opened the lid. When he looked closely, he saw a pretty little girl curled up inside, looking trembling.
"Xiao Qing." Xiao Yan recognized the little girl's identity at a glance. Xiao Mei's sister, Xiao Qing.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me..." The girl was very frightened. She covered her face and did not dare to look up at Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Qing, don't be afraid, it's me, Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan said, "Tell me what happened?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Qing slowly raised her head and saw who was coming. Tears immediately flowed down her cheeks. She stood up and threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms, crying, "Wuwu... dead, cousin Xiao Yan, everyone is dead, the first elder, my grandfather, and the third elder are all dead. The entire Xiao family is only left with us, Cousin Xiao Ding, Cousin Xiao Li, Cousin Xiao Se from Canaan College, Cousin Xiao Yu, Cousin Xiao Ning, Cousin Xun Er, and my sister."
"I know." Xiao Yan's eyes were red with anger. Except for Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei who joined Canaan College last year, and Xiao Yu and Xun'er who had joined Canaan College long ago, almost everyone he knew in the Xiao family was dead. He asked immediately. "What about my father? I didn't see his body. Do you know where he went?"
Xiao Qing shook his head: "I don't know. When my grandfather hid me in the rice jar, I heard that the clan leader was kidnapped by a man in black robes. Last night, the man in black robes killed everyone he saw, even my grandfather."
By the end of her speech, Xiao Qing was already sobbing.
A man in a black robe?
Xiao Yan's eyes were empty, and he recalled the guardian Wu that Xiao Se had killed before. As expected, the guardian Wu came to the Xiao family before going to Yunlan Sect.
"Damn it. If only I were stronger. Or could I have returned to the Xiao family a day earlier?" Xiao Yan put Xiao Qing down and punched the ground. The bluestone floor cracked and the skin on his fist broke. He let the blood splatter everywhere without even noticing it.
"Cousin Xiao Yan, do you know who that man in a black robe is?" Xiao Qing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, but the man in a black robe is dead." Xiao Yan replied.
"Cousin Xiao Yan is so awesome. He avenged our Xiao family so quickly." Xiao Qing blinked her cute big eyes which were blurred with tears and said excitedly.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that Protector Wu was killed by Xiao Se, but when he thought of the former's disdain for him, he swallowed his words back.
"By the way, cousin Xiao Yan, this is for you." Just as Xiao Yan was thinking, Xiao Qing took out a jade box from his ring.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan took the jade box in confusion and then opened it to look inside. Inside was a piece of ancient jade. From the color of the ancient jade, it was not difficult to see that it had been baptized over the years. But on the jade piece, there were still some sparkling stars.
"This was given to me by my grandfather. He asked me to pass it on to you or my cousin Xiao Se. It is a token of the Xiao family's patriarch. As long as the patriarch is alive, the starlight on it will not dissipate." Xiao Qing explained.
After taking out the jade piece, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and couldn't help asking in his heart: "Teacher, do you know what this is?"
"I'm not sure, and I've never seen it before. But seeing this ancient jade, it has at least experienced the baptism of tens of thousands of years. I think it is not an ordinary treasure. Before you figure out its function, you'd better keep it well." Yao Lao responded.
Xiao Yan nodded heavily, took out a red string from his ring, tied the jade piece around his neck, and said to himself, "Soul Palace, what a great Soul Palace! Just wait, sooner or later, I will make you die with the Xiao family. And Xiao Se, you took Xun'er away and insulted my personality. I, Xiao Yan, will never reconcile with you in this life."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan began to bury all the dead members of the Xiao family.
On the other hand, while Xiao Yan was cleaning up the bodies of the Xiao family, Xiao Se had already used the Flying Thunder God to reach the Snake People.
"Establish a sea alliance?" Inside the Medusa Temple, Medusa gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and asked in surprise.
"Yes. Currently, all major forces in the Jiama Empire, including the Yunlan Sect, the Mitel Family, the Mu Family, and the Nalan Family, have agreed to join the Sea Alliance. It is only a matter of time before the Jiama Royal Family and the Alchemist Guild join. I know that your lifelong ideal is to lead the snake people out of the Tagor Desert. So after the establishment of the Sea Alliance, I will order the Jiama Royal Family to divide the eastern part of the Warcraft Mountains to the snake people. The Warcraft Mountains are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and are very suitable for the survival of snake people as Warcraft." Xiao Se nodded and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Xiao Se." Hearing Xiao Se's words, Medusa was slightly startled, snuggled into Xiao Se's arms, and said softly.
"We've been married, and you're pregnant with my child. There's no need to say thank you between husband and wife." Xiao Se smiled slightly and kissed Medusa's white forehead lightly.
"Yes." Medusa nodded, then changed the subject and asked suddenly, "Hai Bodong and Ya Fei of the Miter family have a history with you and know your potential very well, so, understandably, they joined. The Mu family and the Nalan family are fence-sitters, so it is not surprising that they joined the Sea Alliance. As for the Yunlan Sect, with the temper of that old guy Yunshan, it stands to reason that he would not surrender even if you have broken through to the Dou Zong level. How did you conquer the Yunlan Sect?"
"Uh" Xiao Se's mouth twitched, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. Speaking of Yunlan Sect, he had to mention Yun Yun. It seemed that except for Ya Fei and Long Kui, his other wives were still unaware of Yun Yun's affairs.
After a long while without getting Xiao Se's answer, Medusa's beautiful eyes showed a strange color, and then she recalled the scene when Xiao Se first met Yun Yun and when he met Yun Yun at the Alchemist Conference. She seemed to understand something in an instant. She raised her head and asked with some resentment, "You don't mean to say that the woman named Yun Yun from Yunlan Sect was also hooked up by you, right?"
"Hmm." Xiao Se swallowed.
"When did it happen?" Medusa asked Xiao Se.
"The last time I went back to the Jiama Empire to see Fei'er, I immediately rescued Yun'er from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, so." Xiao Se explained with a dry laugh.
"Fei'er, Yun'er, you're being so intimate." Medusa took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes outlined a dangerous arc, "Xiao Se, grit your teeth"
As she spoke, Medusa opened her red lips and bit Xiao Se's shoulder.
Xiao Se did not cry out, turning the passive position into the active one. Soon, beautiful music sounded in the Temple of Medusa.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Miter Auction House, Yafei's room, as the space fluctuated, Xiao Se and Medusa appeared out of thin air in the room.
"Xiao Se." Seeing Xiao Se suddenly appear, Ya Fei's eyes lit up instantly, and she was about to throw herself into Xiao Se's arms, but when she saw Medusa beside Xiao Se, she stopped her action. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Medusa's slightly bulging belly without leaving a trace, then she bowed to her and smiled, "Sister Medusa."
"You and I are sisters. There's no need to be so restrained." Seeing that Yafei was so sensible, Queen Medusa did not put on any airs of a strong person. She just glanced at Xiao Se with her beautiful eyes, took Yafei's hand, and sat down.
"Thank you, Sister Medusa." Hearing Medusa's words, Ya Fei breathed a sigh of relief. In her heart, she was quite afraid of the notorious Queen Medusa. She immediately opened her mind and asked, "Sister Medusa, how long have you been pregnant?"
"Exactly one year and eight months," Medusa replied with a smile.
One year and eight months?
Ya Fei was shocked. With that much time, she would have already had her second child. But Medusa's belly didn't look big now, it seemed like she was only two or three months pregnant.
Seeing Ya Fei's puzzled expression, Xiao Se smiled and explained, "Fei'er, Shasha's original body is a snake person, and she also contains the powerful blood of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, so this child's growth cycle will be relatively long, three to five years is not impossible."
Hearing this, Ya Fei suddenly realized: "No wonder. But if this little guy is born, he will probably be very powerful."
Xiao Se nodded and said, "Yes. Shasha and I have already used the highest level of the snake people's secret method on her. When the little one is born, her cultivation will at least start at Dou Zong level."
"Dou Zong. Hiss." Ya Fei took a breath and sighed, "What an enviable little fellow."
"Haha, let's not talk about her. How is the preparation for the establishment of the Sea Alliance going?" Xiao Se skipped the previous topic.
"Well, with the full support of the Yunlan Sect, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family, the establishment of the Sea Alliance was exceptionally smooth. They will also build a building in the center of the imperial capital that is even larger than the Jiama Palace and serve as the political center of the Sea Alliance. As long as you can refine the Sect-Breaking Pill today, the Sea Alliance will be officially established." Ya Fei smiled brightly.
Changing the subject, Ya Fei's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and she said solemnly: "Xiao Se, there is something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Se asked puzzledly.
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Se deeply and said seriously, "Three days ago, the Xiao family was wiped out."
