Chapter 370: The End

"So this is the original form of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill?" Examining the fragrant medicinal pill in Zhu Kun's hand, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, their actions were fast enough this time; they had decisively joined forces to strike it back into its original form before the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill could fight back, otherwise, they would likely only be able to smell its scent.

"Let's start letting the others come over now, after all..."

"There are quite a lot of good things here!"

As he said this, even peak powerhouses like Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan, who had seen the world, were filled with envy; those flying Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques were simply walking treasure vaults!

When the others saw the Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques surrounding the stone statues, tears of frustration also flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"Is the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill in hand?" Yan Jin and the others asked. Although they were not qualified to obtain it, their curiosity still compelled them to ask.

"That's right. Once we explore the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, we can head back."

Regarding the distribution of the Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, everyone appeared quite harmonious. On one hand, the Ancient God Inheritance and the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill had all been obtained, and the requirement for Nine-Star combat power was not too great. On the other hand, under the suppression of the top-tier powerhouses, no one dared to act out of turn.

In the end, the Gu, Lei, and Yan clans, as well as the Langya Pavilion, the Xiao Clan, and other factions that had contributed significantly, each received dozens of Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, which could be said to have doubled their respective factions' high-level foundations.

As for Yao Lao of the Heavenly Mansion and Yao Dan of the Yao Clan, although they did not have as many Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques as the first few, they still obtained twenty or thirty, and they even found quite a few high-level medicinal pill formulas, so they were naturally extremely satisfied.

Powerhouses who acted alone, such as Zhu Kun, Jiang Yu, Huang Jingtian, and Tianyun Elder, each also obtained no small amount of benefits.

Before leaving, Xiao Han and the others, after seeking the opinion of their semi-guide Zhu Kun, directly set to work with the group of top powerhouses to dismantle and divide all twenty half-dead Exotic Fires on the Yi Huo Guang Chang to take away.

After the battle with the Soul Clan, many powerhouses also understood that the use of Exotic Fires was not as useless as it seemed; at the very least, they could exert unexpected effects when encountering certain enemies with special identities. Even if they did not use them themselves, distributing them to the younger generation was a good choice.

Having stayed in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion for a full half-month, the high and mighty Dou Sheng powerhouses acted like bumpkins, packing up everything in the entire cave mansion that could be taken away.

The Yi Huo Guang Chang, which contained the Ancient God Inheritance, was brought out and placed directly on the former territory of Jia Nan Academy. At least one Nine-Star Dou Sheng, two Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and ten Mid-Stage Dou Sheng were stationed there to completely block any possibility of petty thieves taking advantage of the situation.

"Everything is finally over!" Taking one last look at the empty Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, Xiao Han felt an indescribable sense of relief.

The former Soul Clan and Soul Hall were a great mountain pressing down on his head. He had trained desperately, wandered between life and death countless times, and his years of forbearance had finally paid off.

Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles rested on his shoulder. Xiao Han turned his head to look, "Ancestor!"

"Mm." Xiao Xuan nodded faintly and walked up, gazing at the scenery on the horizon.

"These years..."

"The Xiao Clan owes much to you."

"Rest well from now on."

Just as Xiao Han was about to nod, the former suddenly changed his tone, with a hint of being an elder who did not act his age, and laughed with ill intent:

"Hurry up and add a new member to our Xiao Clan; such good talent cannot be lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed, leaving quickly. The afterglow of the sunset seemed like wings draped over his body.

Xiao Han stood stunned for a long time, unable to speak. After coming to his senses, his cheeks immediately burned. Although he was already an old man who had established a family and a career, he still felt a bit embarrassed to have his thoughts pointed out by an outsider.

Looking toward the direction of the Langya Pavilion in the Central Plains, Xiao Han was lost in thought for a moment. Regarding that beautiful figure who would always wait for him, Xiao Han made a decision.

"Ancestor, this junior will take his leave first."

Afterward, his figure turned into a stream of light and streaked toward the horizon.

"Eh?"

"What is wrong with this kid?" Zhu Kun said strangely. Even if Xiao Han was in a hurry to leave, he didn't have to dump their Langya Pavilion people in this remote corner of the Black-Corner Region, right?

The powerhouses of the Langya Pavilion were also completely confused. Had they been abandoned by the Pavilion Master?

"Haha~"

Xiao Xuan chuckled a few times, his tone carrying a hint of gratification as he said:

"That kid is just going to relax."

With his sharp insight, he had long ago seen that Xiao Han was not the material for managing a faction, or rather, the latter's ambitions did not lie there.

Xiao Han was naturally free-spirited and did not like to be restrained. Even in the Langya Pavilion, he was almost a hands-off manager, mostly just glancing at major and minor matters before signing and stamping them.

Over the years, Xiao Han had traveled everywhere, trained hard, and founded and managed the Langya Pavilion, mostly for the purpose of dealing with the Soul Clan, the ultimate enemy. Now that the Soul Clan had been destroyed, the shackles on Xiao Han had also been completely shattered.

According to Xiao Xuan's estimation, Xiao Han might not be seen for a very long time afterward.

Langya Pavilion, Pavilion Master's study.

Yi Huang's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and her hands did not stop moving as she neatly stacked documents on the desk. Due to the great battle some time ago, the number of affairs in the Langya Pavilion had skyrocketed, almost burying people.

Fortunately, the Langya Pavilion did not have many cities in its territory, and the final battle only took away the Dou Sheng powerhouses, with everything else remaining as usual. If not for this, the number of documents would likely have doubled again.

Suddenly, Yi Huang sniffed lightly, a smile appearing on her beautiful face, and she said softly:

"You're all back, why, are you still planning on making me invite you personally?"

Her tone was light, and she was clearly relieved. Although Yi Huang, who had long known Xiao Han's trump cards, was full of confidence in this battle, she could only be completely at ease after seeing Xiao Han safe and sound with her own eyes.

As her voice fell, Xiao Han appeared in astonishment. This nose was truly too sharp!

A surprised voice immediately rang out in the room, and the white-clothed figure said in a daze:

"You are a phoenix, not..."

"Not what?" Yi Huang raised her eyes sideways. The former very obediently swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out, shaking his head repeatedly and saying: "Nothing... nothing at all..."

"How about we go out for a stroll?" Xiao Han took the initiative to suggest.

"Go out?"

"Yes." Xiao Han nodded affirmatively: "We haven't finished traveling the Dou Qi Continent yet!"

"Now is the time to fulfill that promise."

In all fairness, the person Xiao Han owed the most to was perhaps this wife who had always silently supported him from behind. Whether it was his disappearance back then or his busyness for decades afterward, the time the two of them had truly spent together was very little.

Yet the latter had helped him manage the faction without a single complaint, busy running around; the various things involved could not be explained in just a few words.

Now that everything was settled, this debt buried in the bottom of his heart finally had a chance to be repaid.

Yi Huang stared blankly at the serious Xiao Han, her hands free, her eyes suddenly changing, and she smiled: "Then who should these be left to handle?"

Xiao Han, whose heart was a bit excited, did not notice the cunning hidden in the depths of Yi Huang's eyes and said casually:

"Of course, I'll leave it to Lao Ye."

Brothers are naturally meant to be scapegoats.

"Oh?"

"Leave it to me?"

The calm, indifferent voice instantly made one's hair stand on end, "What about the Emperor Realm Soul?"

Xiao Han secretly groaned in his heart; what was going on with his Soul Power, did it discriminate between people?

Ye Jianxin's figure, ghost-like, appeared before Xiao Han's eyes, staring gloomily at his "beloved friend and kin."

"Hand!" Unable to withstand the death stare from his brother, Xiao Han gritted his teeth and said.

Ye Jianxin reached out his hand, feeling bewildered but sensing something profound; the next moment, a fiery-red Storage Ring was slapped heavily into his hand.

"Things from the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion." Xiao Han felt a pain in his heart so sharp he could almost suffocate, and he glanced to the side, "Pick whatever you want, and hand over half of the rest to the public treasury."

Is he being this generous?

Ye Jianxin curiously began to inspect it...
