Chapter 1728

"Chu... Feifan..."

Hearing this name, Chu Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly.

Could the surname Chu just be a coincidence?

But the next moment, a bloodline aura immediately radiated from Chu Feifan.

Upon sensing this bloodline aura, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared in Chu Xiao's eyes.

"This is... the bloodline aura of the Chu Imperial Clan!"

Chu Xiao exclaimed.

He had originally thought that the Chu family in the Qingyang World was the last remaining branch of the Chu Imperial Clan.

But now it seemed that things were far from as simple as he had thought!

"Oh, it seems you already know your identity as a descendant of the Chu Imperial Clan. In that case, there's no need to explain too much to you."

Chu Feifan had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of calculation in his eyes.

"This... could you be..."

Chu Xiao's face carried a look of shock.

This shock wasn't just because the man in the bright yellow robe before him revealed a bloodline aura of the same origin as his.

Another reason was that the man's bloodline aura was very thick and noble.

It even faintly suppressed his own.

One must know that Chu Xiao had always considered himself extraordinary, believing he was the savior and sole heir of the Chu Imperial Clan.

As a result, a mysterious man with a bloodline power even more vigorous than his own had appeared.

This instead made Chu Xiao feel no joy at seeing a fellow clansman.

There was only a hint of vague discomfort in his heart.

Of course, Chu Xiao had risen all the way to now and was no longer a greenhorn.

He didn't show this emotion.

"You guessed right, I am also a member of the Chu Imperial Clan," Chu Feifan stood with his hands behind his back.

"How can this be? Wasn't the Chu Imperial Clan back then..." Chu Xiao's tone was hesitant.

Chu Feifan said indifferently: "I know you have some doubts in your heart."

"I am an ancient king sealed by the Chu Imperial Clan."

"When I woke up, what I saw wasn't a flourishing Chu Imperial Clan, but ruins everywhere!"

"Heh, who could have imagined that after dreaming for ten thousand years, reality would be like this when I woke up."

Hearing Chu Feifan's words, Chu Xiao could be considered to have understood.

In that case, it did make sense.

For some sealed ancient prodigy kings, ten thousand years were just a fleeting moment.

"And next, on one hand, I am collecting information on the situation of the remaining clansmen."

"On the other hand, I am also looking for some legacies left behind by the clan."

"Later, I discovered some situations in the Xuan Yang World, but the legacy was empty; it must have been taken by you, right?" Chu Feifan said indifferently.

Chu Xiao's expression became vigilant immediately.

Seeing Chu Xiao's cautious appearance, Chu Feifan smiled faintly.

"Heh, according to seniority, I could be your ancestor; calling you Brother Chu Xiao isn't too much, right?"

"Why are you so cautious? We are fellow clansmen with connected bloodlines."

Chu Xiao remained silent.

Although they were fellow clansmen, to tell the truth, he didn't have any so-called sense of kinship for Chu Feifan.

This Chu Feifan, because he was an ancient king who had been sealed, had a status that was high above.

The whole person had a graceful and noble bearing.

While Chu Xiao had risen from humble beginnings and could be said to be from the grassroots class.

Although they were fellow clansmen, could the upper class and the grassroots class get along?

Besides, Chu Xiao always felt that this Chu Feifan was looking down on him from the perspective of a superior.

It was as if he were a vassal.

This made Chu Xiao, who considered himself extraordinary, feel extremely unhappy.

And seeing Chu Xiao's expression, there was also a hint of calculation in Chu Feifan's eyes.

To be honest, before this, with his status, he would have truly regarded the so-called branch as ants.

But it was different now.

The Chu Imperial Clan had declined.

And the Chu Xiao before him seemed to have his own opportunities and foundation, which Chu Feifan had to take seriously.

But from beginning to end, Chu Feifan never placed Chu Xiao on an equal footing with himself.

A branch is a branch; how could they have the same status as the direct line?

"Let's not discuss other things first, but why did you kill Han Ping'an?" Chu Xiao said.

It was because Chu Feifan killed Han Ping'an that he was now fleeing like a stray dog.

And he had even developed a huge rift with Tantai Qingxuan.

A flash of light crossed Chu Feifan's eyes, but in the end, he still said.

"It was just that while searching for the clan's legacy, I discovered some predecessors' inheritances, so I needed to plunder the origin of the Three Teachings."

"That is the Confucian Sect's Haoran Heart, the Buddhist Sect's Flawless Buddha Fetus, and the Daoist Sect's Source of Ten Thousand Daos."

Chu Feifan didn't explain too much.

He didn't even explain in detail that the predecessor's inheritance he obtained was the cultivation inheritance of Dou Tian Zhan Huang, the Zhan Huang Profound Art!

"So that's how it is..."

Chu Xiao didn't know much about the secrets of the Three Teachings, but he naturally understood that Chu Feifan couldn't tell him everything.

"Since that's the case, then farewell."

Chu Xiao was about to leave.

If it were anyone else, Chu Xiao would have already taken action by now.

After all, he wished he could tear the person who framed him into pieces.

But now the truth was out.

Chu Xiao also knew that Chu Feifan, as a sealed king, had unfathomable strength.

Being able to kill Han Ping'an, a King-level prodigy, alone proved his strength even more.

Chu Xiao naturally knew that it would be very difficult for him to kill Chu Feifan, so he had to give up.

"Wait a moment, Brother Chu Xiao," Chu Feifan said.

"What is it?"

Chu Xiao frowned slightly.

He didn't want to have too much involvement with Chu Feifan.

Chu Feifan smiled faintly and then took out something.

When he saw that thing, Chu Xiao's gaze suddenly froze.

In Chu Feifan's hand was a page of gold foil flowing with a faint aura of time.

Time Book fragment!

"I felt a similar aura on Brother Chu Xiao, so I assume Brother Chu Xiao also has Time Book fragments," Chu Feifan smiled slightly.

Chu Xiao couldn't move his feet.

That's right.

What he needed most right now was to find the Time Book; this was his trump card for a comeback and even for confronting Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao!

"How do you have..." Chu Xiao stared fixedly at that page of the Time Book fragment.

"Heh, the Time Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books, originally belonged to my Chu Imperial Clan."

"As the most dazzling prodigy of the Chu Imperial Clan back then, I was naturally able to obtain a page of the Time Book to comprehend."

"Later, the Chu Imperial Clan declined, and the Time Book scattered. I only have one page here," Chu Feifan said.

"Then what do you mean by taking it out?"

"Doesn't Brother Chu Xiao want the Time Book?" Chu Feifan said.

"Don't you want it?" Chu Xiao said.

He wasn't naive enough to think that Chu Feifan would hand over such a treasure, even if he were his fellow clansman.

"Heh, the Time Book is of course a rare treasure, but right now, I need the origin of the Three Teachings more."

"With the origin of the Three Teachings, my strength will also undergo a qualitative change, and the Time Book is instead dispensable."

"How about we make a deal? You assist me in plotting to seize the origin of the Three Teachings, and I will give you this page of the Time Book when the time comes."

Chu Xiao's eyes flashed.

He knew that Chu Feifan must have obtained an inheritance with a huge background.

But even so, it was impossible to ignore the power of the Time Book.

That was the most powerful power of time.

"Wanting to use me?"

Chu Xiao sneered secretly in his heart.

However, what if he followed Chu Feifan's wishes?

He was a person of great luck; when the time came, he might not only be able to obtain the Time Book but also seize Chu Feifan's inheritance.

At that time, he would truly be unrivaled among the younger generation.

And he would have the capital to contend with Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Since Brother Feifan says so, then I can only agree," Chu Xiao said.

Although seeking skin from a tiger is dangerous, the harvest is also huge.

"Haha, Brother Chu Xiao is indeed sensible. Now that the clan has declined, it is exactly the time we need to unite," Chu Feifan laughed.

But he was sneering in his heart.

"After helping me find the origin of the Three Teachings and completely mastering the Zhan Huang Profound Art, this ant from the branch will have no more value."

"If he is sensible and hands over the Time Book, I might let him be a follower."

"But if he isn't sensible... heh..."

Chu Xiao and Chu Feifan both had smiles on their faces.

As if they were brothers from the same clan.

But in their hearts, they were calculating every move, each with their own schemes!
