Chapter 176 Breaking it into parts
Since Xiao Yan had a heart-to-heart talk with Xun'er, his horizons have broadened. He learned about the affairs of the big families in Zhongzhou, and also learned the true intentions of powerful people such as Gu Yuan, Emperor Hun Tian, and Zhu Kun.
These powerful men have only one real goal, and that is to become the Dou Di. Apart from that, nothing else can arouse their interest.
But the Douqi Continent no longer has the origin of the emperor, so the only way to become a Dou Emperor is to open the Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave and obtain the inheritance inside.
Among the three, Zhu Kun was the most direct. Relying on the fact that he was the Taixu Ancient Dragon and could travel through space at will, he wanted to directly enter the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion. However, he was framed by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and became the gatekeeper of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
Emperor Hun Tian is no less capable than Zhu Kun. He works hard to collect Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade and does things that offend people.
Gu Yuan is the most experienced one. He doesn't want to put in any effort and just wants to sit back and enjoy the results.
After knowing the thoughts of these three people, Xiao Yan also had his own plan in mind.
Not only do they want to obtain the inheritance of the Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave, but Xiao Yan also wants to obtain it.
Although Xiao Yan possesses the Burning Technique, he can become stronger by absorbing strange fire.
But most of the strange fires have clear owners. Getting strange fires from those people is not much easier than collecting Tushe ancient emperor jade.
If there is no threat to one's life, who would be willing to hand over the strange fire in their hand?
Since everyone wants to open the Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave, the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jades will definitely be gathered together. It is just a matter of time.
Xiao Yan, who had thought it through, actually wanted to give the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xun'er and let her pass it on to Gu Yuan.
But later on he thought, if the Soul Clan knew that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was handed over to the Ancient Clan by Xiao Yan, they would definitely take revenge on the Xiao family.
So after much thought, it is best to keep the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade in my own hands, so that I will have a chess piece in my hand and become the chess player.
However, if the ancient jade is in his hands, the people of Soul Palace will definitely take action against the Xiao family, especially after Xun'er left the Xiao family and went to Canaan College, the people of Soul Palace will no longer have any scruples and will take action whenever they want.
It's just that they won't do it directly, but will use the help of other forces. This method of covering one's ears and stealing the bell is actually known to everyone.
Since the people from the Soul Palace will definitely take action against the Xiao family, how to protect the Xiao family becomes Xiao Yan’s top priority.
After thinking for several days and nights, Xiao Yan thought of a strategy adopted by a great man to deal with the Japanese encirclement and suppression, which was to break the whole into small pieces.
After finding a solution, Xiao Yan found his father Xiao Zhan to discuss it, and the two hit it off.
Since the Soul Palace will definitely take action against the Xiao family, the Xiao family cannot stay in Wutan City and wait for death.
Moreover, Xiao Yan also knew that the entire Xiao family had become a burden to him.
As Xiao Yan's father, he naturally doesn't want Xiao Yan to always focus on protecting the Xiao family. He hopes that his son can go further.
After the two of them finished their discussion, Xiao Zhan called three more elders. After all, such a big matter must be discussed with the three elders.
After the three elders knew Xiao Yan's idea, they naturally agreed with it.
After all, strength is always respected in the Douqi Continent, and personal strength can directly determine the rise and fall of a family.
For example, if Xiao Yan became a Dou Huang, the Xiao family would instantly become a force that surpassed the three major families in the imperial capital. After the discussion, they immediately took action.
While Canaan College was recruiting students, all the clan members who met the admission requirements were stuffed into the College. Even some who did not meet the requirements were persuaded by Xiao Yan and Xun'er, as well as the gold coins, to make Instructor Ruolin accept these people who did not meet the admission qualifications.
After the younger generation of the Xiao family was settled, they began to deal with the core strength of the family.
After discussion, the core forces of the Xiao family were divided into dozens of groups, and with the help of the Mitel Auction House, they went to other cities in the Gama Empire to develop.
Although their power became much smaller after moving to other cities, they could develop rapidly with the help of funds and elixirs from the Mitre Auction House and Xiao Yan.
Just think about it, when these small forces develop and become a force like the Xiao family in Wutan City today, and then combine together, how powerful they will become.
Xiao Yan had calculated everything, but he had not taken into account the thoughts of the old people in the Xiao family. These old people were also the last group of people that Xiao Yan needed to settle.
When Xiao Yan wanted these old people to go to other places to enjoy their lives, he was directly opposed by all the old people, including the three elders and the clan leader Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Yan tried his best to persuade only the second and third elders to leave the Xiao family and go to other cities to develop. After all, although the clan members were scattered, they still needed a leader, otherwise they would be a mess.
After Xiao Yan left Xun'er and Xiao Yixian's residence, he went to his father's room again, hoping to make a final effort.
Although Xiao Yan knew that his hope of convincing his father Xiao Zhan to leave the Xiao family was very slim, he still wanted to give it a try.
Xiao Yan walked through the bluestone path and came to his father's room. He knocked on the door, and walked in after hearing a response from inside.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Zhan chatting with the Great Elder.
"Yan'er is here!" Xiao Zhan greeted him with a smile when he saw Xiao Yan coming.
"Father, Great Elder. I have a pill that can change one's appearance, so you don't have to..." Xiao Yan smiled and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They knew that Xiao Yan meant well.
But one of them is the head of the Xiao family, and the other is the great elder of the Xiao family. It is logical and necessary for them to live and die with the family. How could they be deserters?
"Yan'er, the younger generation and core forces of the family have already been transferred, and the rest are the old, weak and sick. If we leave as well, those people will definitely notice it, and then find all of us who have been transferred out with great difficulty. Only if the great elder and I stay, those people will not do anything desperate." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"Yes! Yan'er, don't worry about us. Didn't you say it? They won't kill anyone before they find the jade. So at most they will just put us under house arrest! The old, weak and sick like us are worried about having no place to live in our old age!" The Great Elder walked to Xiao Yan, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"And didn't Yan'er say that not only would I not be in any danger, but I could also gain some benefits and improve my strength? How could I refuse such a good thing?" Xiao Zhan said with a big laugh.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing with each other and seemed unwilling to leave no matter what, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.
In fact, Xiao Yan also knew that what Xiao Zhan said was right. If the Xiao family really didn't even have a person in charge, those people in the Soul Palace would definitely be angry and humiliated.
Moreover, after being captured by the people from the Soul Palace, you will only lose your freedom, but your strength will be greatly improved, and you will at least be a Dou Huang when you return.
