As Xiao Yan and his party entered the space passage, the light suddenly brightened in front of them, causing him to close his eyes slightly out of habit, and then slowly opened them, and the look of surprise in his eyes suddenly became intense.
What appeared in front of Xiao Yan and others at this moment was an extremely long bluestone staircase. There were no buildings on both sides of the stone staircase, but a lush green shade. Looking far away, they could only see the traces of those green shades.
There are many buildings, and there are some faint voices coming from the distance, and finally gradually fade into the lush green shade.
When I look back at this moment, everything behind me seems to be gone. Except for the arch, which is still standing, the original space barriers on both sides have turned into an extremely thick city wall, standing majestically under the cover of moss. Invisibly,
There is an ancient atmosphere of vicissitudes of life that permeates from it.
"There is indeed a wonderful world inside this place."
Looking up at the world in front of him, Xiao Yan glanced at the sky above his head, his eyes narrowed, and there was a faint feeling of distortion there. Apparently, the entire Xiao clan was shrouded in a twisted space.
Within, such a huge space barrier is really a big deal. It is no wonder that it is very different from the market appearance seen by the outside world. One of the three major clans in the Central Territory has a false reputation.
"You three, please follow me."
The middle-aged man smiled at Xiao Yan, then moved his body, stepped on the void with his feet, and swept forward. After that, Xiao Yan and Bai Hua looked at each other, nodded lightly, and immediately moved their bodies and tightened their grip.
Follow up.
After a while, the group of four people stood on a cliff. There was still a continuous stone staircase in front of them, but on both sides of the stone staircase at this moment, there were many buildings built against the mountain. There were stone staircases on the cliffs on both sides.
Circling upwards, there are two small squares of the same size above. There are many young people wearing Xiao clan costumes walking back and forth. The occasional shouting and fighting makes the place feel a little lively.
In the middle of the two squares, directly above the stone stairs that stretch upward, is a large hall separated from the sky. At this time, the four people are standing here.
Following a steady sound of footsteps, an old man in purple robes walked out of the hall, his eyes swept across Xiao Yan and the other three, and immediately stopped at the middle-aged man, glanced at the latter, and said lightly
:
"Xiao Huan, do you know your guilt?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down respectfully, clasped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully:
"My subordinates have neglected their duties, and they are willing to accept the punishment, but as elders, this is all the same."
"That's enough. You don't need to say anything. I'm afraid the whole Xiao City will be in chaos when you come to report. You go ahead. I won't say more about what to do."
The old man said lightly, and Xiao Huan bowed and saluted with a pale face. From the looks of it, this elder may have already known what happened in Xiao City. He brought Xiao Yan and three others here this time.
I'm afraid my thoughts are useless.
However, just when Xiao Huan was about to take Xiao Yan and the others away from here, the old man in purple robe spoke up again and said:
"You can leave, they stay."
Hearing this, Xiao Huan was suddenly startled, and Xiao Yan and the three people beside him also looked slightly stunned. The former was about to argue, but the cold gaze of the old man in purple robe suddenly shot towards him, which made him feel deep in his heart.
Wen Ran shuddered, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan and the others with apologetic expressions, then gritted his teeth and quickly retreated.
After Xiao Huan left, the old man's eyes slowly looked at the three people in front of him. He noticed the difference between Bai Hua and Lian'er. In the old man's indifferent eyes, a look of surprise could not help but pass through.
Guang Guang nodded involuntarily, then fixed his gaze on Xiao Yan and said lightly:
"Are you Xiao Yan?"
As soon as the old man said these words, the expression on Xiao Yan's face changed instantly. He raised his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him with surprise. He hesitated for a long time, then frowned and said in a deep voice:
"How do seniors recognize me?"
"Hmph, in today's Xiao clan, as long as you are an elder, who doesn't recognize you? Since you entered Xiao City, your identity is no longer a secret."
The old man sneered, seeming to find Xiao Yan's words a bit ridiculous.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel dumb for a while. He thought that he had been quite cautious along the way. Even when he arrived in the Xiao clan, he did not reveal his identity easily. But what he didn't expect was that he had already been attracted by the old man in front of him.
perceived.
"If you want to explore the style of my Xiao clan, you should not rely on outsiders to test it. Once you enter the clan, you will naturally feel it for yourself. However, I advise you that this method must not be used elsewhere in the future, otherwise you may be harmed.
Caught in a trap."
After a gentle reminder, Xiao Yan quickly nodded and bowed to express his thanks. The old man waved his hand lightly and said again:
"Let's forget about these for now. The Great Elder has high expectations for you. As long as you practice with peace of mind and don't follow in the footsteps of your ancestors."
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, what happened to him?"
As soon as the purple-robed old man finished speaking, the look in Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly condensed, and the expression on his face became a bit gloomy. When he came to the Xiao Clan, the first thing he was most concerned about was naturally Xiao Xuan's situation, but
Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Xuan's situation didn't seem ideal.
"Now that it's here, you'd better ask him yourself."
The old man was about to speak, but suddenly he turned his eyes and looked towards the sky. There, a stream of light was passing by at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had appeared in front of the main hall. At the same time, Xiao Yan's
His eyes also looked closely at the figure transformed by the stream of light.
The figure was dressed in white, with long hair, eyes as dark and as deep as the stars, a handsome face with an indifferent smile, and his whole body exuding an elegant temperament that ordinary people could not match.
"Haha, little guy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have actually been promoted to Yuanzong. Not bad. It seems that you have found what you are looking for."
Sensing the aura in Xiao Yan's body that was much more powerful than his own, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. At this time, the latter relaxed his tense mood after seeing that Xiao Xuan was fine.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, how have you been these past few years?"
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the purple-robed old man on the side turned his eyes and immediately looked at Xiao Xuan. The latter seemed to have not noticed it. He smiled at Xiao Yan and nodded, and then turned his eyes to the side.
The old man bowed his hands respectfully and said:
"Elder Li, long time no see!"
"Oh, ever since you passed my Guchen Palace, it seems that you have never been here again."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan smiled noncommittally. The old man glanced at the two people in front of him, turned around and walked towards the main hall behind him. At the same time, the indifferent voice came out again.
"Okay, I never accept guests here. Now that you are here, I will no longer find anyone to guide him. You can take him there."
After saying that, the old man disappeared into the hall. Xiao Xuan chuckled and nodded. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him with a smile. The latter looked suspicious and could not help but frown.
Xiao Xuan said doubtfully:
"Where to go?"
"Go to see the Xiao clan leader."
Xiao Xuan nodded and smiled and said.
"The same goes for the chief of the Xiao clan. Only when you meet him can you truly join the Xiao clan!"
Smiling softly, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head and looked at the stone stairs climbing up the rock behind the main hall. In a daze, a low murmur slowly came from his mouth.
