Chapter 140 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade! Xiao Family Mixin!
Ten days later.
Blue sky, cloudless.
A handsome young man in black robes was suspended a thousand meters in the air, looking down at the Wutan City built against the mountains below.
The young man returned to the Jiama Empire from the Snake Tribe territory in the Tagor Desert... Zhou Chen.
At this height, Zhou Chen could just take in the Warcraft Mountains next to Wutan City.
As far as the eyes can see, the mountains are continuous and the peaks are overlapping, which looks quite spectacular.
"This place... can be used as a good battlefield."
With a chuckle, Zhou Chen lowered his head again and looked down at the prosperous and bustling Wutan City below.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
I wonder if this city will continue to exist on the map of the Gama Empire after today.
Shaking his head, Zhou Chen flashed and disappeared into the sky.
In the next second, he instantly crossed the distance of a thousand meters and landed outside a huge mansion in the city.
On the plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion, there are two huge words painted on it like iron paintings and silver hooks:
"Xiao Mansion."
At the gate of the Xiao family's mansion, dozens of powerful guards stood neatly.
The strength of these guards is at least the level of a great fighter.
Once upon a time, the Great Dou Master was able to serve as an elder in the Xiao family.
But now, the great fighting master is only qualified to watch the door.
The strength of the Xiao family is obviously not what it used to be.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen smiled, and as his body trembled, he stepped into the space mezzanine.
He came here this time to take the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, so it was not suitable for making a big splash.
Especially now, the Xiao family is probably being monitored by powerful men from the ancient clan, so they cannot visit openly and honestly.
It's better to sneak into the void and be the sixth person.
"Xiao Zhan..."
Muttering softly, the soul power in Zhou Chen's mind poured out like mercury, and he easily found Xiao Zhan's location.
However, when he discovered Xiao Zhan, he also discovered several figures with energy levels above Dou Wang in the Xiao family's residence.
These figures act mysteriously and furtively, and at first glance they are not members of the Xiao family.
Moreover, Zhou Chen also discovered that Xun'er, the eldest lady of the ancient clan, and her bodyguard Ling Ying were not in the Xiao family's residence.
"interesting……"
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, murmured, and immediately hid in the space mezzanine and sneaked towards Xiao Zhan's position.
And at this time.
In a study room filled with ancient books and scrolls, a middle-aged man was sitting at the desk, holding an ancient book full of illustrations of men and women, looking at it fascinatedly.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a luxurious red-striped black-bottom robe, and his face was quite majestic. His pair of thick eyebrows added a bit of heroism to him.
This person is the current patriarch of the Xiao family, Seven Star Dou Ling, Xiao Zhan!
Of course, the Seven Star Dou Ling is just Xiao Zhan's disguise.
His true strength, with the continuous support of Xiao Yu's pills, has already reached the five-star Dou Huang level.
It can only be said that Xiao Yu’s crash course in fighting emperors is no worse than that of the Soul Clan.
If she hadn't been forced to leave Zhongzhou, Xiao Zhan might have been able to improve a few more stars.
"Wow..."
After turning over a page, Xiao Zhan was about to read the next chapter when he suddenly noticed something.
The next second, he put down the ancient book, looked at a corner of the study with burning eyes, and said lightly: "Who is your master? Since you took the initiative to leak your aura to me, it's better to show up and see him."
As soon as he said this, a white-gold light suddenly lit up in the corner of the study room.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man in black robe appeared in the study out of thin air.
"Are you... Zhou Chen?"
Looking at the young man's handsome face, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but blurt out.
"Clan Chief Xiao has a very good memory."
Zhou Chen nodded and said with a smile: "You must also know the purpose of my trip."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, and then said with a serious face: "Half a year ago, that girl Yu'er sent a letter back, and the letter mentioned that you would come and take away the piece of Xiao.
An ancient jade left by our ancestors."
After a pause, Xiao Zhan gave a bitter smile and said, "I also know a little about the function of that piece of ancient jade. If it remains in the Xiao family, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
"only……"
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhan looked directly at Zhou Chen and said implicitly: "After you take the jade away, you must pay attention to safety. That clan remembers this jade very well."
"Don't worry, I will be cautious."
Zhou Chen nodded gently and said solemnly.
"That's good."
Xiao Zhan sighed and said immediately: "The ancient jade is not with me, not even in the Xiao family, but is hidden in a secret place."
"Not at Xiao's house?"
After hearing this, Zhou Chen suddenly looked startled, and then suddenly realized.
No wonder in the original work, after the strong men from the Soul Palace broke into the Xiao family and even captured Xiao Zhan, they still failed to find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Zhou Chen originally thought that the people in the Soul Palace were careless in doing things.
But now it seems that he has clearly searched for it but failed to find it!
Because this piece of jade was never placed in the Xiao family!
Nor is it under the personal supervision of the clan leader.
Think about it, for thousands of years, the ancient clan has killed so many clan heads and elders of the Xiao family, but they have never found this jade.
This has proven that the ancient jade is not in the bodies of important figures in the Xiao family, nor in important places in the Xiao family such as the Sutra Collection Pavilion or the ancestral hall, or even anywhere in the Xiao family!
Otherwise, for thousands of years, the ancient tribe would have searched for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade even if they dug three feet into the ground!
This is probably the reason why the ancient clan has never dared to take real action against the Xiao family, and only dared to attack and kill a few people secretly!
Because the ancient clan was afraid that after wiping out the Xiao family, they still couldn't find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, which would be bad!
Moreover, the Xiao family has always been famous for being tough-headed!
In the original book, Xiao Zhan was arrested, and the elders and a large number of clan members died one after another. They must have been severely tortured by the Soul Palace before their death, but no one revealed the location of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Of course, it is also possible that none of them know where the ancient jade is, and only a few people such as the clan leader know.
Therefore, even if the ancient clan wiped out the Xiao family and tortured and interrogated the remaining Xiao clan members, they might not be able to get the whereabouts of the ancient jade.
If the whereabouts of the ancient jade cannot be found, it means that the jade has been completely lost.
And if one of the eight pieces of ancient jade is missing from the Xiao family, it will never be possible to open the cave of the ancient Emperor Tuoshe!
Therefore, the ancient clan, which has always been timid and cautious, did not dare to gamble at all, and naturally did not dare to really destroy the Xiao family. They could only continue to use various small methods to search for ancient jade.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but admire the ancestors of the Xiao family for actually coming up with the method of "using the whereabouts of the imperial jade as a threat to make the already timid ancient clan dare not touch the Xiao family" to preserve the Xiao family bloodline.
This also shows.
A long time ago, the Xiao family discovered that the ancient clan was not so reliable and took precautions in advance.
