Chapter 405: Leaving and meeting Taixu Ancient Dragon

"Don't burn it, don't burn it, I'll tell you., I'll tell you."

After being burned in the strange fire for an hour, old man Mu Gu finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy.

"Why didn't you just say it earlier? You have to suffer so much before you confess." Xiao Se put away the strange fire.

"I say, what can I say?" Old man Mu Gu wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Se's eyes narrowed, and he pretended to release the strange fire again.

Elder Mu Gu said quickly, "No, no. I don't know what you want me to say."

"Uh." Xiao Se's mouth twitched, as if that was the case, and then asked: "Well! Let me ask you, how did your Soul Palace pay attention to me? As far as I know, except for the Iron Guardian and the Duck Guardian who I killed, I have never had any contact with anyone from the Soul Palace."

"It was Xiao Yan. It was that kid Xiao Yan who defected to the Soul Palace and said that the Xiao family's ancient jade was with you. That's why I came here." Old man Mu Gu wailed.

"Xiao Yan?" Xiao Se's expression changed slightly: "How can I trust you?"

Although he didn't like Xiao Yan, he still found it hard to believe that he had defected to the Soul Palace and destroyed the Xiao family.

Elder Mu Gu hurriedly explained, "It's true, you must believe me, you must believe me. I saw that kid carrying Yao Chen's soul in the Black Horn Region. Under Yao Chen's desperate protection, the kid had a chance to escape, but he was the same as Han Feng who you killed, and he stabbed Yao Chen in the back. As a token of his allegiance, he surrendered to my Soul Palace and said that the ancient jade was with you, to ask me to let his father go."

After hearing Xiao Yan stabbed Yao Chen in the back, Xiao Se recalled Xiao Yan's growth journey:

Because Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement early, Yao Chen was forced to wake up early, and Xiao Yan's character was halfway through his transformation when his talent was restored, and his character was far worse than in the original novel.

Not only did he miss out on almost all the opportunities, but he also lost his wife, his father was arrested, and he lost everything he had. Facing such setbacks, I'm afraid any normal person would have a huge change in his mind.

"What about Yao Chen? Where did you take him? And where is that bastard Xiao Yan? Where is Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Fire?" Xiao Se asked three questions in succession.

"Yao Chen was sent to the branch temple of the Ghost Mountain Range in the northwest of Zhongzhou. Xiao Yan was also taken there. The old fellow Yao Chen, who was known as Gu Ling Leng Huo, was released before he was caught. No one knows where he was sent to." Old man Mu Gu was completely terrified. The seemingly harmless young man in front of him was a devil. His torture was even more cruel than that of their Soul Palace.

"This Yao Chen is miserable. He was betrayed by two disciples in succession. I asked him to give up Xiao Yan at the beginning, but he insisted. Otherwise, he would have been resurrected by now." Xiao Se curled his lips and poured another wisp of strange fire into the medicine bottle. He let old man Mu Gu scream, and then put it into the system warehouse.

After walking out of the secret training room, Xiao Se came to the main hall of the Yunlan Sect. At this time, the women were already waiting there.

"I have some bad news to tell you. Xiao Yan betrayed his teacher Yao Chen, and now Yao Chen has been arrested." Xiao Se's eyes swept over the girls.

"I knew long ago that the guy was a good-for-nothing. I should have killed him in the Tagor Desert." Queen Medusa frowned.

"That's right, Xiao Se, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have dealt with him last time in the Black Horn Region." The Little Medical Fairy said without interruption.

"Okay, it's all my fault, but I didn't expect that the boy had fallen to this extent." Xiao Se curled his lips. Strictly speaking, he was the one who had screwed him over too badly, especially the lower three routes, which were almost the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"What should we do now?" Medusa asked Xiao Se.

"Next time we meet Xiao Yan, we'll just kill him. As for Yao Chen, we'll save him if we can. His alchemy skills are even better than mine. If we can save him, then our Sea Alliance will have an eighth-grade peak or even ninth-grade alchemist." Xiao Se said, "Except for Shasha and Nana, everyone should get ready in the next few days. When I revive Di Tian, we'll take the space wormhole to the Black Horn Region. I need to go there to do something, and then we'll set off to Zhongzhou."

The women heard this and nodded.

Three days later, Di Tian was successfully resurrected by Xiao Se using the body of old man Mu Gu, and his cultivation level also broke through the original bottleneck and reached the level of one-star Dou Zun. Zi Ji and Bi Ji were also resurrected by Xiao Se. Their cultivation levels were not as good as Di Tian's, and they used the bodies of Dou Zong, so after the resurrection, their cultivation levels only reached Dou Zong.

However, they win because of their strong bloodlines, while the monsters in the Douqi Continent compete with each other on their bloodlines. With the blessing of bloodlines, the future path of cultivation will be much smoother, and there is no need to worry about heavenly tribulations.

"Di Tian, protect my wife well. If even a hair is missing, I will hold you accountable." Xiao Se warned Di Tian before leaving.

"Yes, Master Xiao Se." Di Tian was ashamed. How come in less than half a year, his master became Xiao Se's wife? And she was pregnant. Under normal circumstances, half a year would not even be enough for them to take a nap.

"Nana, Shasha, I will miss you." Xiao Se stepped forward and held the hands of Medusa and Gu Yuena.

Medusa and Gu Yuena looked at each other. With similar personalities, they had quietly become a pair of good sisters. Then they said to Xiao Se, "We'll wait for you to come back."

Xiao Se nodded heavily and took Bibi Dong, Little Medical Fairy, and others into the space wormhole from the Jia Ma Empire to Feng City in the Black Horn Region.

After arriving in Fengcheng, Xiao Se first asked Little Medical Fairy to arrange rooms for Yun Yun and her son, while he brought Zi Yan to the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

"Grandpa Su Qian, long time no see." As soon as she saw Su Qian, Zi Yan stepped forward to greet him happily.

"Haha, Zi Yan has grown a lot. Her cultivation has even surpassed that of your grandpa Su Qian." Su Qian stroked Zi Yan's little head with a smile.

"Hehe." Su Qian's praise made Zi Yan's beautiful eyes bend into two shallow crescents. She pointed at Xiao Se behind her and said, "I followed this big bad guy in the Sea Alliance and had pills to take every day. The more I took, the stronger I became."

"Sorry for bothering you, Great Elder." Xiao Se bowed.

"Haha, it's okay. You are a student from Canaan College. You can come back anytime. I heard that you have refined the legendary eighth-grade elixir in the Jia Ma Empire, and the highest-grade nine-color elixir. Canaan College is proud of you." Su Qian was very satisfied with Xiao Se. He knew how to be grateful. Over the years, the Sea Alliance had helped Canaan College a lot, both openly and secretly.

Even students from Canaan College who join the Sea Alliance can enjoy high-level treatment as long as they have good character.

"Great Elder, you are too modest. I came here this time because I want to discuss three things with you." Xiao Se said.

"Just tell me, I won't refuse as long as I can do it for you." Su Qian nodded.

"The first thing is about the last time Xiao Yan stole the strange fire from Canaan Academy." Xiao Se continued.

"It's okay. Queen Medusa has already sent someone to bring back the Fallen Heart Flame!" Su Qian waved his hand.

Xiao Se said seriously, "Elder Su Qian misunderstood what I meant. What I wanted to say was that after Xiao Yan's Strange Fire was taken back, he defected to the Soul Palace. At the same time, he also betrayed his teacher, Medicine Venerable Yao Chen."

As he spoke, Xiao Se roughly recounted the story of Yao Chen being betrayed by Han Feng, meeting Xiao Yan, and being betrayed again. During the process, he omitted the part where he tricked Xiao Yan.

Su Qian suddenly realized, "I never thought that Senior Yao Zun had such a bizarre and tortuous experience, and I never thought that Xiao Yan was the same kind of person as Han Feng."

Xiao Se said solemnly: "The reason why I mentioned this to you is that I hope Canaan Academy will be more careful. I have also issued an order to the Sea Alliance. If Xiao Yan is found in the Black Horn Region or the Jia Ma Empire, the Venerable-level priests will be dispatched to kill him. There is no need to be lenient with this guy who betrays his teacher and ancestors."

Su Qian said seriously, "I understand. I will inform everyone. If Xiao Yan is found, my Canaan Academy will never let him go."

Xiao Se said seriously, "The second thing is that I hope to send Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei back to the Jia Ma Empire. This time, the Soul Palace sent Dou Zun to deal with me, but inevitably, they will not do so next time. If the Soul Palace knows that Xiao Yu and the others are in Canaan College, they may encounter unexpected events, and it is also very likely to bring disaster to Canaan College."

"Third, I plan to take Zi Yan to the bottom of the magma in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. There is something I need there, so I wanted to say hello to you in advance."

Su Qian said: "It doesn't matter, but why don't you go see Xiao Yu? She has missed you so much in the past few years."

"When everything is settled, I will take her to see the brilliance of time." Xiao Se smiled faintly, took Zi Yan's hand, tore open the space, and rushed into the magma world under the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Looking at the place where Xiao Se disappeared, Su Qian was stunned. Dou Zun. After Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Se broke through to Dou Zun.

In the underground magma world.

"You big bad guy, what did you bring me here to find?" Zi Yan asked curiously.

"You'll know soon, but I hope you can control your emotions and don't cry." Xiao Se showed a mysterious smile.

"Hmph, you're the one who's going to cry!" Zi Yan made a face.

As the two continued to go deeper, they soon encountered an underground magma creature, the lizard monster.

Xiao Se and Zi Yan pushed forward against some lizard monsters below the Dou Zun level until they encountered a lizard monster at the Dou Zun level, and then they stopped.

Xiao Se also killed a lot of people. Without using any secret techniques, he fought at full strength and directly killed more than a dozen lizard monsters at the Dou Zun level.

"You big bad guy, let's not go any deeper. I feel if we continue forward we will most likely encounter lizard monsters at the Dou Zun level or above." For the first time, Zi Yan was no longer so heartless and her face became serious.

"Then let's just teleport there." Xiao Se smiled faintly, put his arm around Zi Yan's slender waist, and shouted in his mind: "System, use the fixed-point teleportation talisman to take Zi Yan and me to the tomb of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."

[Ding, fixed-point teleportation symbol -1, the system is teleporting! ]

As the space twisted, the next moment, Xiao Se and the other person disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he had arrived in front of a pitch-black stone gate that was thousands of feet high.

"You big bad guy, is this what you are looking for?" Zi Yan looked up at the stone gate, and her pupils contracted immediately.

"It should be here, Zi Yan, don't you have a strong talent for treasure hunting? Smell it and see if there are any treasures in here." Xiao Se held Zi Yan's hand tightly. He was inevitably a little nervous at this moment. If Zhu Kun attacked them without saying anything, he would have to run away with Zi Yan.

"I don't know whether there is any treasure or not, but I feel like I'm going to be killed by you, a bad guy." Zi Yan raised her hand and pointed forward.

Inside the stone gate, a huge eye with a diameter of more than 100 meters suddenly opened, and a giant dragon shadow with a body length of more than 10,000 meters suddenly emerged.

Its aura is so strong and desolate that it has never been seen before.

Just by standing here, Xiao Se felt infinite pressure and was almost unable to move.

"Ah!" The giant dragon roared first, bringing with it a violent gust of wind that made Xiao Se and the other's hair flutter. Then it spoke in human language, "I haven't seen a living human for thousands of years. Boy, you are so young, but it's not easy for you to lead people in here with your mere Dou Zun cultivation. Do you have the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade? If not, then stay here for the rest of your life to keep me company."

"I don't have the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, but I have brought people here to meet my relatives, senior." Seeing that Zhu Kun was willing to talk, Xiao Se breathed a sigh of relief but kept it a secret.

"Acknowledge your kinship?" Zhu Kun showed disdain on his face, curled his lips, and said, "Boy, don't try to be related to me. Do you know who I am? Acknowledge your kinship with me. I am eight generations older than you."

Xiao Se knew that Zhu Kun did not speak out of turn. Not to mention him, even his ancestor Xiao Xuan was a junior in front of him, so he was not angry. Pointing at Zi Yan, he asked with a smile: "Senior, do you really not remember who she is?"

"Her?" Hearing this, Zhu Kun subconsciously looked at Zi Yan again. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at her, but once he did, he froze in place. His huge dragon mouth opened and closed, and he murmured, "It's her. It's her child. You look exactly like your mother when she was a girl."

Zi Yan was stunned by Zhu Kun's move. She tried her best to hide behind Xiao Se and said tremblingly, "Ah, who are you? Don't come over here, or I'll ask the bad guys to beat you up."

"Uh..." Noticing his loss of composure, Zhu Kun quickly transformed into a human form and said in a panic, "Child, don't be afraid. I am your father and I will not hurt you."

"My father?" Zi Yan was slightly startled. Father, what an unfamiliar word. She grew up in the Monster Mountain Range, helpless and having to compete with monsters for food. She could only endure the bullying from other monsters.

If the man in front of him was his father, then where was he when he was bullied?

"Yes, I am your father, the patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun." Zhu Kun pointed at himself, and then excitedly said to Zi Yan: "And you are my daughter, the only Taixu Ancient Dragon with royal blood in the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan except me."

Hearing this, Zi Yan took a deep breath, turned her gaze to Xiao Se, and asked solemnly: "Big bad guy, is this guy my father?"

"Yes. I was just suspicious at first, but now I can confirm it. I feel almost the same blood in you two." Xiao Se told a half-truthful white lie. He never doubted it and knew that the two were father and daughter.
