875. The fierce battle has ended.
Looking at these energy beings who were unusually respectful to him, and considering the way they addressed him, Xiao Yan understood very well who had come to his rescue.
"You... were all sent by Ancestor Xiao Xuan?" Xiao Yan asked the leader.
The first person to approach Xiao Yan nodded: "That's right. Master is on the fourth level of the Heavenly Tomb. Due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Tomb's rules, it's temporarily inconvenient for him to act directly. Therefore, he specifically ordered the ten of us to come and assist you, young master. My name is Xiao Le. Please advise on how to deal with these four people before us, young master!"
Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel his blood boil. Sure enough! These people were sent by his ancestor Xiao Xuan. He wasn't truly alone and helpless in the Heavenly Tomb!
The Xiao clan is not without hope; their ancestor Xiao Xuan is still alive!
This belated protection completely relieved Xiao Yan's fatigue and tension from the continuous bloody battles, and a surge of heroic spirit arose spontaneously. Now that his ancestor had learned about the situation here, everything was completely different.
After introducing himself, Xiao Le turned his gaze to the five members of the Soul Clan, whose faces were extremely grim. They were now surrounded by the arriving Dou Sheng experts, a stark contrast to their previous situation.
"What should we do with these four energy beings and the woman from the Soul Clan? Please advise, young master!"
Looking at the four Soul Clan members who were now surrounded, Xiao Yan gave Xiao Le a very simple order: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
"Xiao Le obeys. Please wait aside, young master."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Le immediately turned to face the four members of the Soul Clan, drawing his longsword.
"Did everyone hear that clearly? The young master wants everything, not a single one will be left behind!"
"Of course!"
"Shatter them all, turning them into energy cores to offer to our little master!"
"Killing is my favorite thing to do!"
"Avenge my little master!"
"Hmph, that little Soul Clan girl's flames are quite interesting. We'll capture her later and snatch them back for our young master, then see if we can remove them!"
Then, the ten soul entities attacked simultaneously, ten against five, and the situation instantly changed. The expressions of both the four energy entities of the Soul Clan and Soul Wind became extremely grim.
Hunfeng's alluring yet icy face was now filled with shock and anger. The situation that had been so certain just moments before was now a matter of life and death.
In such a short time, the situation has deteriorated to this extent.
The four Soul Clan Battle Saint energy bodies were clearly elite members of the Soul Clan in their previous lives, and their teamwork was impeccable. The deathly black mist around them surged wildly, instantly forming layers upon layers of defensive barriers, protecting Soul Wind at its core.
"Go all out! We're all old guys who've died once before, we have to protect Soul Wind!"
"We'll carve a bloody path for Soul Wind later!"
……
Due to the vast disparity in strength, the battle did not last long before it came to an end.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Le approached Xiao Yan apologetically, handing him four fist-sized, one-star Dou Sheng-level energy cores: "Young Master, I failed in my duty, allowing that woman to escape. Please punish me!"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath: "Senior Xiao Le, you flatter me. I saw what happened just now. The strength of the four Soul Clan members who suddenly joined forces was somewhat unexpected. They were also fearless. With Soul Wind and the Void Devouring Flame, it's understandable that she escaped alone."
"If it weren't for everyone's timely arrival, Huo Zhi and I would probably be in grave danger. Xiao Yan will forever remember this kindness!"
Xiao Yan's words were sincere and heartfelt. He had originally been facing a certain death, but the appearance of Xiao Le and the other ten people immediately resolved his predicament. In the end, being able to force Hun Feng to flee alone in a sorry state was already a pretty good result.
Having gained a basic understanding of Xiao Yan's personality, Xiao Le said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, young master."
Xiao Yan stared at the four energy cores, their surfaces jet black, the cores left behind by the four fallen energy beings of the Soul Clan. These were energy cores at the level of a one-star Dou Sheng; even without absorbing them, simply holding them in one's hand was enough to feel the surging Dou Qi energy within. These were undoubtedly the most precious treasures within the Heavenly Tomb, the true tools of cultivation.
With these things, the results of this battle can be considered quite substantial.
Of course, Xiao Yan also saw how Hun Feng dealt with Tang Qiying. Since the Soul Clan wanted to use Tang Qiying as a sacrifice, then Tang Qiying naturally had no chance of being resurrected, which could be considered as eliminating a major enemy.
With the matter resolved, Xiao Yan turned to look at Xiao Le, his tone filled with anticipation: "Senior Xiao Le, since you also share the surname Xiao, are you also an ancestor of my Xiao family?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Le smiled gently and shook his head, saying, "Young master, you misunderstand. My original surname was Zi, but because I followed you earlier, I received special care from you. As one of your representatives in the Heavenly Tomb, I took the surname Xiao."
Xiao Le then added, "In this Heavenly Tomb, we can still find some energy bodies of other Dou Di descendants, but for the Xiao clan, there is only the master."
Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the power of his ancestor. Even though he was dead, he could still command the wind and rain in this Heavenly Tomb and easily command more than a dozen Dou Sheng-level energy beings. This kind of skill was probably only possessed by Xiao Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb.
Moreover, our ancestors never truly left; they have always protected the Xiao family in their own way. This rescue is proof of that.
"Is our ancestor on the fourth level of the Heavenly Tomb?"
Xiao Le nodded in agreement: "That's right, we'll take care of our young master. He's been waiting for you on the fourth floor for a long time."
"As for the young master's other two companions, I have already sent two brothers to invite them. The young master will naturally be able to meet them again on the fourth floor."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was pleased with Xiao Le's meticulous attention to detail. Xiao Le had already taken the initiative to do it before he even had a chance to speak, and Xiao Yan understood why he was chosen as the representative of his ancestor.
Now that someone has already gone to pick up Xun'er and Lei Jingxiao, the truly important thing in Xiao Yan's mind is indeed to see his ancestors.
"In that case, let's hurry to the fourth level of the Heavenly Tomb!"
In truth, Xiao Yan was also filled with anticipation, even though his ancestor had passed away many years ago. However, his influence was simply too immense; to this day, the name Xiao Xuan still carried profound weight.
The current attitude of the descendants of the Dou Di is mostly related to the actions of their ancestors.
As for the Xiao clan, Xiao Yan still has many questions and must consult the only ancestor of the Xiao family he can find.
