336. Chapter 336: Xiao Chen Arrives at the Allied Forces Camp!

"Boom—!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering peal of thunder resounded through the clouds. The sky above the entire Wutan City was covered in dense dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling. A wild gale whistled past, whipping up the dust on the ground to form small tornadoes.

The air was filled with a heart-palpitating sense of oppression, as if heaven and earth were trembling for the major event about to occur.

Xiao Yan hovered in mid-air, holding that crystal-clear Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill in both hands. The Pill was pale gold throughout, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.

Countless golden runes flowed across the surface of the Pill, as if it had a life of its own.

Xiao Yan was enveloped in a layer of faint golden light; that was the protective shield formed by the external release of his powerful Dou Qi.

His black hair moved without wind, his robes snapped loudly, and his entire person radiated an awe-inspiring aura.

"Boom!"

Another thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, heading straight for Xiao Yan. That lightning was silver throughout, emitting immense power.

However, facing this terrifying Pill Lightning, Xiao Yan was not afraid in the slightest. "A descendant of the Xiao Clan wishes to meet an ancestor!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suddenly looked up at the sky, and shouted loudly once more. Xiao Yan's voice contained powerful Dou Qi fluctuations, instantly spreading throughout the entire Wutan City. That voice seemed to pierce through the boundaries of time and space, reaching the nine heavens.

The moment Xiao Yan's voice fell, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

"Sigh!"

A long, drawn-out sigh suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

That voice seemed to come from the ancient past, and also seemed to come from the future, filled with vicissitudes and helplessness.

Immediately following, space suddenly began to twist violently.

A pitch-black space crack appeared in mid-air, emitting a heart-palpitating aura. That crack seemed capable of devouring everything; even light could not escape it.

"Hum!"

The space crack trembled slightly, and a slender figure slowly stepped out from within.

The person was dressed in a blood-red robe, embroidered with intricate golden patterns.

This person had a resolute face, eyes like lightning, and radiated a terrifying, suffocating aura from their entire body.

It was the ancient powerhouse of the Xiao Clan—Xiao Chen! The appearance of Xiao Chen instantly caused the entire world to fall silent.

Even the howling gale stopped its roaring at this moment, as if paying tribute to this ancient powerhouse.

"Thump!"

Seeing this, the members of the Xiao family knelt down one after another, piously kowtowing to Xiao Chen.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Countless respectful voices rang out; the entire Xiao family was shocked.

Many people had never dreamed that the Xiao Clan would actually have such a powerful backer.

That kind of aura had far exceeded the scope of their cognition.

Xiao Chen landed slowly on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling Xiao family members. A complex light flashed in his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss, as if they contained endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

Originally, seeing the Xiao family fallen to this state, Xiao Chen had not intended to let them know about ancient matters. He had planned to silently protect this lineage and never appear to acknowledge them until the day he died.

This time, he had finally seen a slightly decent descendant who could cultivate to the Dou Zun stage without relying on bloodline power. This caused a trace of gratification to rise in Xiao Chen's heart.

"What is the matter?"

Xiao Chen asked, his voice low and filled with vicissitudes, as if it contained endless years.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Ancestor, my father has been missing for many years, and I suspect he was taken by those Ancient Races!"

"I beg for the Ancestor's help!"

Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of anxiety and earnestness; clearly, he was deeply troubled by his father's disappearance.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

"Tell me the specific situation."

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice. Xiao Yan nodded and recounted the process of his father's disappearance and his own speculations in full detail.

When he mentioned that the Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade had been borrowed by the Ancient Clan, Xiao Chen's brows twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Chen did not pay much attention. In his view, that Ancient Jade was actually a disaster for the now-weak Xiao Clan. Lending it to the Ancient Clan might not be a bad thing.

However, Xiao Chen could not ignore the fact that a descendant of the Xiao Clan had been captured. After all, their bloodlines were connected; he could not sit idly by.

"I am aware of this matter."

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Since that is the case, then come with me to the Central Plains."

As soon as Xiao Chen's voice fell, the entire Xiao family was in an uproar.

The Central Plains! That was the center of the continent, where powerhouses were as numerous as clouds and experts were like rain. It was a place a small family like the Xiao family could never reach.

However, with Xiao Chen, this ancient powerhouse, presiding over them, the situation was completely different.

Hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He knew very well that with Xiao Chen's help, the hope of finding his father had greatly increased.

"Many thanks, Ancestor!"

Xiao Yan said respectfully, his tone filled with gratitude.

Xiao Chen nodded and swept his gaze across the surroundings.

"You all shall remain here. I will take Xiao Yan alone to the Central Plains."

Xiao Chen's voice was not loud, but it contained an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, although the members of the Xiao family were somewhat disappointed, they dared not say anything more.

They knew very well that with their own strength, going to the Central Plains would not be of any help and might instead become a burden.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Xiao Ding and the others responded respectfully.

Xiao Chen nodded, then looked toward Xiao Yan.

"Prepare yourselves; we shall depart immediately."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly. He turned to bid farewell to the members of the Xiao Clan, then walked quickly to Xiao Chen's side.

"Boom!"

Xiao Chen waved his large hand, and a terrifying surge of Space Power instantly enveloped the two of them. The next moment, the two figures vanished into thin air, as if they had never appeared at all.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest sense of obstruction. Such methods were far beyond the cognitive scope of everyone present.

The members of the Xiao Clan watched them depart, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Central Plains, the main camp of the Six-Clan Allied Forces.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan had already arrived, floating above the main camp. Looking out, tents stood in great numbers everywhere, with banners fluttering. Countless experts clad in various battle armors shuttled back and forth, and the entire camp appeared orderly and disciplined.

However, a careful observation would reveal that the entire main camp was shrouded in a dispirited atmosphere.

A long time had passed since the last great battle with the Soul Clan, yet the Soul Clan had remained completely silent. This endless waiting made many people feel impatient.

In particular, many of the younger clansmen had begun to discuss it in private.

"If we keep waiting like this, when will it ever end?"

A young member of the Yan Clan could not help but complain. Just as everyone was discussing it, a majestic voice suddenly rang out; just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat heavy, a slender figure suddenly appeared in the center of the main camp.

The person who arrived was none other than Gu Fei, who had just returned to the main camp.

Gu Fei's gaze was like a torch, sweeping across his surroundings.

His handsome face carried a hint of gravity; clearly, he had also sensed the abnormal atmosphere in the main camp.
