Chapter 96 Final Disposal

  After Xiao Ding's death, Xiao Yan immediately stirred up another bloody storm in the Ga Ma Empire, countless people trembled with fear, fearing that this young man's anger would burn onto themselves.

  The Mitter family, contrary to their usual behavior, joined the Flame Alliance, while the Nalan family had long since fled in disarray. One of the three major families of the Empire thus disappeared overnight, and Xiao Yan once again created a legend. At the same time, it also declared that the Gamai Empire was now a country where the "Flame Alliance" reigned supreme.

  The Mitter family, due to their vast business intelligence network, was mainly responsible for tracking down the remnants of Yunlan Sect and Nalan House. However, they only managed to find a few scattered individuals. In reality, the elites of Yunlan Sect and Nalan House had already arrived at the Empire controlled by the Yan Cheng family, while Ya Fei was also slow in searching for intelligence.

  Intelligence has always been crucial.

  After a period of time, the Xiao family members arrived in the imperial capital under the leadership of Xiao Mei. In addition, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning from Canaan Academy also graduated and left the academy to arrive in the imperial capital. Including Xiao Xing Meng who was training outside, almost all the Xiao family members have gathered in the imperial capital. It can be foreseen that the Xiao family will take root and develop in the imperial capital.

  In the secret room of Xiao's house, the fragrance filled the room. Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, took a light breath, and lightly clenched his fist, with a flicker in his gaze.

  "The Qingming Shoudan" has been successfully refined, next Xiao Yan still needs to refine some medicinal pills for Ziyan, this girl recently seems to be breaking through as well, requiring an abnormally large amount of energy to complete this promotion.

  Although these medicinal materials are precious, they are undoubtedly insignificant compared to Xiaoziyan's promotion to the Douwang stage. Now that she is a Douwang-stage martial artist, Xiaoziyan can already contend with ordinary Douhuang strong practitioners, and even that terrifying monstrous strength, not even Xue Ying would dare to easily exchange blows with her. If she were allowed to smoothly advance to the Douhuang stage, her strength might explosively surge again, and by then, it's possible that she could even contend with Douzong strong practitioners for a while.

  Xiao Yan's side was in dire need of such a strong ally. The Soul Temple, that mysterious and eerie force, had placed immense pressure on Xiao Yan.

  As soon as he thought of his second brother dying at the hands of Soul Temple, and his big brother dying at the hands of Nalan Yanran, and his father being captured by Soul Temple, Xiao Yan's face turned extremely ugly. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice: "It seems that I must reach the Dou Huang stage as soon as possible. In this way, even if I meet Medusa again in the future, I will have the power to fight back. The Xiao family still needs my protection, so I can't afford to be careless!"

  He took a deep breath, slightly tidied up the secret room, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the secret room.

  In the front yard, there were quite a few people gathered here. Even Lin Yan, Liu Qing, Xiao Xing Meng and Xiao Yu were all here. For a moment, he was slightly stunned. These guys who usually hung out outside had actually all gathered in this place.

  Seeing Xiao Yan, with Xiao Xing Meng and others at the forefront, everyone rushed forward to greet him.

  "Cousin, Lin Yan has already told me about what happened to Xiao Lie and Xiao Ding. Alas, I don't know how to comfort you either, cousin. Please take care of yourself." Xiao Xing Meng said with a helpless expression, patting Xiao Yan's shoulder gently. "During your seclusion, the people from the Xiao family have all arrived here, waiting for you to come out."

  Xiao Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It was all because of my momentary carelessness. I didn't expect Yun Luan Sect to take revenge on me in this way."

  "It's not your fault, Xiao Yan." Xiao Yu walked slowly over, her beautiful long legs making people drool.

  He grasped Xiao Yan's hand, and his bright eyes gazed at him as he said, "Now that you are the pillar of our Xiao family, you mustn't become disheartened because of these things."

  "Of course, I also want to rescue my father, how can he be so weak!" Xiao Yan smiled and said. "Now I have already touched the edge of the Dou Huang realm, but I need a period of closed-door training. After I leave, if there is any accident, you can send someone to my closed-door training place, and I will let someone report to you as soon as possible."

  "The prestige of the Xiao family now is built on your strength, so the stronger you are, the stronger the Xiao family will be. However, please don't overexert yourself." Xiao Yu's eyes showed a hint of worry, her jade-like hand still holding onto Xiao Yan's hand, probably without even realizing it.

  "What? Where are you going to retreat?"

  "By the way, where are you going to seclude yourself?" asked Xiao Ning, who was standing beside him and suddenly looked at Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a soft voice, "The Demon Beast Mountain Range. I once found a valley there that grew countless rare medicinal herbs. This time when I go into seclusion, I will bring Ziyue along and head to that place. As for how long the seclusion will last, I'm not too sure myself, but it definitely won't be short."

  "After I leave, the matters of our clan and Flame Alliance will be handed over to Xing Meng. I hope you, Xiao Yu, can help him well." Xiao Yan let out a gentle sigh and said this. In his heart, perhaps this brother-in-law's strength was not strong, but he had all sorts of means and leadership skills that were not bad, at least better than Xiao Yan himself. For the current situation, having him temporarily manage the Xiao clan was the most suitable choice.

  "Hmm? Me? Alright then, Xiao Yan's younger cousin can rest assured and focus on his cultivation." Xiao Xing Meng said with a smile.

  Xiao Yan did not drag things out this time. After briefly explaining the situation to Yin Gu Lao Ren and Lin Ye, he found Zi Yan in the manor and then quietly left with her.

  ————————————————

  "Ah……” Xiao Xing Meng sat alone in the council hall of the Xiao Mansion, stretching his waist comfortably and taking out the communication jade slip with Xiao Si. He muttered to himself: "Xiao Si, how is the investigation going on the Xiao family's side?"

  In order to find out the connection between the mysterious team that has been staring at him and Xiao Yan, Xiao Xing Meng let Xiao Si start from the Xiao family. Now that everyone in the Xiao family has moved to the Imperial Capital, the people of the Soul Temple have already started investigating with an open mind. Who would have thought that the mysterious group suddenly disappeared without a trace? The direction of the investigation can only be done from the most basic and stupidest direction.

  "As expected by the teacher, judging from the current results." Soul Chao Ming's low and gloomy voice slowly echoed in the jade slip.

  "That's good news, but where is he hiding?" asked Xiao Xing Meng.

  "This is it, the other party's hidden strength seems to be very high, we can't get any progress." Yu Jian was silent for a moment, and then came the helpless voice of Hun Chao Ming.

  "Let's put this matter aside for now. How is that kid Han Feng doing? When will Hai Huang Yan arrive here?"

  "It's estimated that it will be delivered to your hands soon, Master. That kid Han Feng is under Cai Hu's protection, I'm not too clear about it either. I'm considering how to accelerate Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's cultivation."

  "You take care of things, I'll feel at ease." Not long after the communication with Jade Annulus was cut off, a knock on the door sounded from outside, and a gentle voice called out: "Xing Meng brother, the young people from the Xiao family are all in the courtyard, waiting for you."

  "Oh, here it comes." After hearing Xiao Mei's words, Xiao Xing Meng slowly stood up and said in a low voice: "And that idiot actually handed over the rear route to me. Anyway, I'm bored, so let me take care of these little brats from the Xiao family for now."
