Chapter 456: Soul Cliff

"Hehe, don't think that just because you have some strength, you can show off in front of us. To tell you the truth, you are still far behind! People with your strength are countless in our Soul Clan." The black-robed man sneered and said.

"Besides saying some big words, what else can you do? My strength is indeed not worth mentioning in your Soul Clan, but killing you still doesn't take too much effort." Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Who wouldn't say big words! The black-robed man saw Xiao Yan so arrogant, and couldn't help but be stunned. These arrogant words shouldn't be what they should say? Now Xiao Yan grabbed it and said it, what could they say.

"You are indeed arrogant enough. I look forward to your performance in the Heavenly Tomb. Of course, this requires you to be qualified to enter. I seem to have heard that the elders of the Gu Clan don't like you, and in the past, the quotas of your Xiao Clan were all occupied by the Gu Clan. This time, I think it should continue to be occupied." The black-robed man said gloatingly, seeming very much wanting to provoke the conflict between Xiao Yan and the Gu Clan.

Xiao Yan naturally heard the provocation in the black-robed man's words, but it was not easy to make him fall for it.

Although the Gu Clan occupying the Xiao Clan's quota made Xiao Yan somewhat uncomfortable, as the saying goes, if you are backward, you will be beaten. Only when the strength is equal can fairness and truth be realized, otherwise it is just a joke.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs, and this little trick of yours to sow discord is really not on the table." Xiao Yan's mouth held a cold smile and said.

The black-robed man saw that Xiao Yan didn't fall for it, and was suddenly disappointed. Then he looked at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly: "I think you should know who your Xiao Clan's ancestor is! At the beginning, your Xiao Clan's ancestor was as arrogant as you, but in the end, he was still seriously injured and fell by our ancestor. So, this time is no exception, you will also die in my hands. This is the fate of your Xiao Clan. Remember my name, Soul Cliff!"

After Soul Cliff finished speaking, his figure began to slowly become illusory, and finally disappeared.

Xiao Yan looked in the direction where Soul Cliff disappeared, his brows slightly furrowed. Although the strength of the three Soul Cliff people was not weak, it was nothing to him. However, the people of the Soul Clan all had secret techniques, and their methods were endless. So, big words should be said, but one should still be careful.

After returning to the room arranged for him by the Gu Clan, Xiao Yan closed the door tightly and began to practice silently.

Xiao Yan didn't need to practice in the past. After all, Exotic Fire could refine external energy by itself, but Exotic Fire could only enhance his Dou Qi, and had little improvement for his soul power.

The Supreme One Soul Art obtained from the Pill Gathering last time was a soul-cultivation method passed down from ancient times. Xiao Yan had also been practicing the Supreme One Soul Art for a period of time recently.

On the mountain peak surrounded by clouds and mist, a woman dressed in green sat cross-legged on a giant rock. The mist around her was rising, and looking at it, she was like a fairy.

"Miss, Young Master Xiao Yan has arrived at Ancient Saint City."

Hearing this, the woman who was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, looked at the black-clothed figure behind her, and said happily: "Brother Xiao Yan is here!"

"Uh... isn't Miss angry with Young Master Xiao Yan?" Ling Lao saw Xun Er like this, and was suddenly stunned. Who knew how long Xun Er had scolded Xiao Yan when she was in seclusion.

Xun Er looked at Ling Lao's stunned appearance, and was suddenly so shy that her face turned red. Then she forcibly straightened her face and said: "So what if he comes! What's the big deal. Did anyone in the clan make things difficult for Brother Xiao Yan?"

"Does Miss hope someone makes things difficult, or does she not hope so?" Ling Lao looked at Xun Er and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Xun Er fell into silence. She hoped in her heart that someone could take action to teach Xiao Yan a lesson, but she was also afraid that Xiao Yan would be hurt. Her heart was suddenly contradictory.

Ling Lao saw the tangled look on Xun Er's face and sighed, saying: "The Third Commander Lin Qiao among the Eight Great Commanders did take action, but he was defeated in one move and didn't even touch the corner of Xiao Yan's clothes before vomiting blood." Xun Er heard Ling Lao say this, the corners of her mouth hooked into a slight arc, then pretended to be angry and said: "This Lin Qiao is too weak, how could he not even persist for one move."

Ling Lao saw the slight arc on the corner of Xun Er's mouth. As the guard who had been with Xun Er the longest, how could he not know Xun Er's thoughts at this time.

"Although Lin Qiao was defeated, there are still Gu Zhen, the Four Great Du Tongs, and the family elders behind. Most importantly, there is the Clan Head. So Xiao Yan has only passed the first hurdle, and there are four hurdles waiting for him!" Ling Lao praised Xiao Yan indirectly, and then told the difficulties Xiao Yan had to face.

Xun Er heard that Xiao Yan still had four hurdles to pass, and felt worried in her heart. Then she looked at Ling Lao and said: "After Brother Xiao Yan enters the Gu Jie, report all his situations to me."

"Miss, don't worry, I will continue to inquire about the news." Ling Lao nodded, then turned into a black shadow and slowly dissipated.

"Sigh! I knew I shouldn't have written that letter to Brother Xiao Yan!" Xun Er sighed. She also knew that the last matter couldn't be blamed on Xiao Yan, it was just that she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

The morning sun shone through the window and irradiated Xiao Yan, making Xiao Yan feel warm all over.

"Comfortable!" Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes, then he stretched, and exhaled a turbid breath.

Today was the day the Gu Jie opened. After Xiao Yan washed up simply, he opened the door and walked out, heading toward the city center.

In the center of the city, there was a huge lake. On the lake, rows of Black Armor Army stood solemnly, preventing anyone from rushing in rashly.

At this time, quite a few figures were already standing around the lake. These people were all people going to the Gu Jie, and their eyes were all fixed on the Black Armor Army on the lake.

"Everyone, the Gu Jie is about to open. However, I will state in advance that the Gu Jie is extremely vast. If there is no one to lead the way and you rush in randomly, you might fall into a space crack, so don't rush around." An elder dressed in green in the center of the lake looked around at everyone and said.

Although the elder of the Gu Clan said it so seriously, those who had entered the Gu Jie knew that this was half true and half false, just to prevent people from rushing around.

There were not only powerful people in the Gu Jie, but also Gu Clan descendants, and the descendants accounted for the vast majority, because the descendants were equivalent to ordinary people in the outside world.

These descendants were people whose Dou Di bloodline was so thin that it could be ignored. If it were normal, these people would not be important at all and could be raised at will.

However, one day a mutation occurred. After two people with extremely thin Dou Di bloodlines were together, they actually gave birth to a descendant with an extremely rich bloodline.
