Chapter 413: Trading Ancient Jade

Xiao Yan, who was standing by, heard that Yao Lao asked the Soul Hall Master to kill him, and he immediately became anxious. Perhaps the desire to survive overcame his fear, and his body instantly regained its mobility. He shouted to the Soul Hall Master: "Master, don't kill me. I am the only one who knows where the ancient jade is. It would be a waste of time for Venerable Mu Gu to go there."

"Oh?" Hun Miesheng instantly became interested. He looked Xiao Yan up and down, and seeing that he did not seem to be lying, he smiled jokingly and said, "Tell me, if you tell me the whereabouts of the ancient jade, I will never treat you unfairly."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, glanced at Yao Chen, and thought to himself, Teacher, this is the last time I call you teacher. You asked the Soul Hall Master to kill me. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Then he said to Hun Miesheng, "When the Xiao family was wiped out by the guardian Wu, in fact, in addition to the few of us young people in the Xiao family who were training outside, there was still one survivor."

"I know about this. Let me tell you the point. Didn't you tell Mu Gu that the girl was taken to the Sea Alliance by Xiao Se? As expected, the ancient jade also fell into Xiao Se's hands." Hun Mie Sheng said impatiently.

"Then Palace Master, do you know who was the first to know about the extermination of the Xiao family? And who sent Xiao Qingna to the Sea Alliance?" Xiao Yan swallowed.

"So the ancient jade is on you." Hun Mie Sheng narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand in a claw shape, sucked Xiao Yan in front of him, and pinched his neck. With just a little force, he could take Xiao Yan's life.

"If you kill me, you will never know the whereabouts of the ancient jade." Xiao Yan's throat was strangled, and his brain was suffocated instantly. The whites of his eyes turned blood red, his face was flushed, and he stammered and spoke with difficulty.

"How boring." Hun Miesheng casually threw Xiao Yan in front of the imprisoned Yao Chen and said indifferently: "Tell me, where is the ancient jade? If you dare to play tricks on me, I guarantee that your end will be even more miserable than Yao Chen's now." He just checked Xiao Yan's body and even his ring, and did not find the ancient jade. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would have been a corpse now.

"Cough cough." Xiao Yan coughed violently, holding his neck, breathing in fresh air in big gulps, tilting his head to look up at Yan Yaochen, and then said to Hun Miesheng: "Although I don't know what the ancient jade is used for, I have hidden it now. I can give it to you, but you must agree to two conditions of mine. Otherwise, I would rather die than hand over the ancient jade."

At this point, he couldn't help but be thankful that Old Man Mu Gu had never seen the ancient jade, nor had he searched him carefully, otherwise the ancient jade that was originally hanging around his neck would most likely be taken away, and he would lose his only bargaining chip.

"Tell me what you want. As long as it's not excessive, I can satisfy you." Although he was very unhappy that a junior dared to threaten him, a powerful Dou Sheng, he had to treat it with caution as it was related to the Soul Clan's thousand-year plan.

Seeing that the Soul Palace Master agreed, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but become curious about the origin of the ancient jade, but he didn't have time to think about it now.

Xiao Yan said: "First of all, my father was captured by you, I hope you can let him go."

The Soul Palace Master nodded, which was considered as an agreement, and then listened to Xiao Yan say: "The second thing is, I want to become stronger, and I hope that the Soul Palace can help me become stronger. So that I will no longer be bullied by anyone."

"This is not a difficult task. As far as my Soul Palace is concerned, as long as you hand over the ancient jade, I can let the Soul Palace invest some resources in you. It will not be a problem for you to achieve Dou Zong within three to five years. In the future, it will depend on your performance." The Soul Palace Master shrugged slightly. What Xiao Yan said was just a trivial matter to him.

Changing the subject, the Soul Hall Master narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "But accepting my Soul Hall resources means you have to join the Soul Hall. Once you are a Soul Hall member, you will be a Soul Hall member for life. If I find out that you have any intention of abandoning the Soul Hall, then I will make you live a life worse than death."

"I know that." Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva. To achieve Dou Zong within three to five years was already beyond his expectations. From now on, he just needed to borrow the power of the Soul Palace and work hard to improve his cultivation.

As for joining the Soul Palace?

He had already prepared himself mentally.

Didn't you also take Yao Lao as your master before?

If there is a first day, there will be a fifteenth day.

At worst, I can backstab you again when I have enough strength.

To avenge the destruction of the Xiao family and the abduction of his father.

When Xiao Yan joined the Soul Palace, he did not acknowledge an enemy as his father, but endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens.

The same goes for Xiao Se and Nalan Yanran. He dared not forget for a moment the disregard and humiliation they inflicted on him back then, but it seems that these two have been dealt with by old man Mu Gu.

No matter how talented they are, facing a Dou Zun, they will die.

A fallen genius is no longer a genius, only a living one is.

He, Xiao Yan, will become the master of this Douqi Continent in the future.

Just as Xiao Yan was dreaming, the impatient voice of the Soul Palace Master sounded again, "Boy, now it's time to tell me where the ancient jade is."

"Okay, but I need to see my father first." Xiao Yan said.

The Soul Palace Master frowned, and although he was dissatisfied, he finally agreed. After a while, Xiao Zhan was brought over. At this moment, he looked quite miserable, with disheveled hair, breathing in and out of his mouth and nostrils, and blood all over his body, like a death row prisoner who had been beaten.

Only half-life left.

It is conceivable what kind of inhuman treatment Xiao Zhan suffered in the Soul Palace during this period.

"Father, how are you?" Seeing Xiao Zhan so miserable, Xiao Yan rarely showed his true feelings. He walked quickly to Xiao Zhan and helped him up. From childhood to adulthood, only this father was truly kind to him.

"Is that Yan'er?" Xiao Zhan thought he was hallucinating, opened his dry, pale, bloodshot mouth, and called out softly. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

"It's my father, I'm Yan'er, you've suffered." Xiao Yan shed tears of pain.

Before he could finish his words, the Soul Palace Master beside him had almost run out of patience.

"What a famous scene of a loving father and a filial son, but my patience is limited. If you want to reminisce, there will be plenty of time for you to do so later. Where is the ancient jade I want? Don't tell me you don't have it. You know the consequences."

The Soul Palace Master extended his right hand and issued an unquestionable declaration.

"You took my father away"

"Um?"

Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the Soul Palace Master, murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but after seeing the dangerous look in the Soul Palace Master's eyes, he finally wilted. While secretly hiding his hatred in his heart, he gently put the weak Xiao Zhan down, then walked behind the stone tablet that tied up Yao Lao and handed out the ancient jade with a knife from the crack in the wall in the dark corner.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. This ancient jade is his life-saving capital, so he naturally cannot keep it on his body. While Yao Lao was unconscious due to the excessive weakness of his soul, he secretly stuffed the ancient jade into a small gap in the wall. No matter how hard the people in the Soul Palace tried, they would never have thought that the ancient jade was actually in the Soul Palace.
