Chapter 62: The Emperor of Tushuo's Jade

  "Xiao Yan-gege, I want to tell you something," Xun'er pulled Xiao Yan into a closed room for a conversation after he successfully became the Seven Stars Great Douluo.

  The matter of the Tuo She Gu Emperor's jade had not made any progress, and many people in the clan were already dissatisfied with Xun Er's undercover mission. It wouldn't be surprising if she was summoned back at any time. Xun Er herself knew that the Tuo She Gu Emperor's jade had been stolen by a mysterious person, but she had kept it hidden, which also meant that she would never be able to hand over the jade. This time, Xun Er dismissed Ling Ying and the other guards, taking advantage of her precious time at the academy to plan on telling Xiao Yan some secrets.

  "Xiao Yan, do you still remember three years ago when Yunlan Sect came to the Xiao family wanting to exchange the Xiao family's jade plaque, but we refused? That night, the jade plaque was stolen."

  "Of course I remember! I've always thought that Yun Lian Sect was behind this! Unfortunately, when I went to Yun Lian Sect back then, I couldn't defeat Nalan Yanran to avenge this grudge, and we didn't have any evidence either." Xiao Yan's emotions became slightly uncontrollable with anger as he mentioned this matter, it was the first time he saw Xun Er get hurt.

  Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "The reason I opposed exchanging the jade piece back then was that its value far exceeds your imagination. The reason I recognized that jade piece is because... my clan also has one. Its name is called: Tuoshuge Emperor Jade."

  "What's with your family?" Upon hearing Xun Er's words, Xiao Yan's face also became much more serious. Xun Er's family was one that even Yao Lao feared, and yet this enormous family had something similar to the jade piece of his own Xiao Family? Xiao Yan asked in a low voice: "Why is it called the Ancient Emperor's Jade? Isn't it the symbol of my Xiao Family's Clan Head?"

  Xun'er nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "After such a long time, perhaps no one in the Xiao family knows the truth about this jade now, so they just follow the oral tradition and regard it as a symbol of the clan leader. And store the clan leader's soul imprint in it, so that the clansmen can know the life and death of the clan leader at any time."

  "But the value of this jade is enough to make the Canaan Academy, no, even my family can't help but take action. On that day, there were countless suspects who came to steal the jade." Xun'er's voice was extremely low, as if she feared being overheard.

  "Mysterious ancient jade, Tuo She ancient emperor jade......" Xiao Yan muttered to himself, this matter was still too far-fetched for him now.

  "But Yun Luan Sect should just be used as a gun, with their strength, even if they got this jade, it would only bring them fatal disaster." Xun Er continued to say softly. "And they don't even recognize this piece of jade."

  "What's the origin of this enormous Cloud Heaven Pavilion? Where did that jade come from? And who is capable of using Cloud Heaven Pavilion as a weapon?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes fixed intently on Xun Er. For a moment, both of them fell silent.

  The silent atmosphere made her feel somewhat uneasy, especially under Xiao Yan's piercing gaze. Xun Er couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. Sighing softly, she lifted her head and looked straight at Xiao Yan, her voice gentle as she said: "Xiao Yan gege, there are some things that I have indeed hidden a lot about, but trust Xun Er. That absolutely won't bring any harm."

  "Believe me. When Brother Xiao Yan has enough strength, I will tell you everything. Including the forces behind Xun Er and their connection to the Xiao family."

  His eyes stared tightly at Xun Er, and after a long while, Xiao Yan slowly nodded his head, rubbing Xun Er's hair with his palm. In a low voice, he said: "Alright, I'll wait for the day when you entrust everything to me." After speaking, he turned around first, opened the closed door, and walked straight down the stairs.

  Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Xun Er sighed again and said: "Alas, I don't know when Xiao Yan will be able to obtain that kind of power. According to Ling Lao's words, Yunshan Sect is indeed connected with 'those people'. If it's 'those people', then it makes sense that they could easily take the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from my Nascent Ring and learn about the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. With Xiao Yan's talent, I'm afraid it will take more than five years for him to be able to contend with Yunshan Sect. If he wants to contend with 'those people'..."

  "Alas." Lying in bed, Xun'er muttered to herself: "But I don't know why, I feel like things won't be that simple."

  In the pitch-black room, a faint moonlight poured in from the window, casting an ambiguous glow over the interior.

  Xiao Yan sat on the bed, his soul power bursting out of his body with all its might. His spiritual sense enveloped every nook and cranny of the room, searching every dark corner with caution for nearly ten minutes before he finally flicked a black ring, and instantly, a faint light drifted out, coalescing into an old figure.

  "Teacher," facing Yao Lao's figure, Xiao Yan's mouth moved. Just as he was about to speak, Yao Lao waved his hand and said with a thoughtful tone: "I know you want to ask about the 'Duo She Gu Di Yu', but this thing, even I have only vaguely heard of it, and never actually seen it."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt slightly disappointed and asked tentatively: "Does Teacher know what this thing actually is?"

  "All I can tell you is that this ancient emperor jade may have some connection with the ancient emperor from over a thousand years ago." Yao Lao said slowly after a long silence.

  "Taoshengdi?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, muttering the name repeatedly in his mouth. After a moment, he asked somewhat doubtfully: "Is it a person?"

  "Perhaps it's because he is the Emperor of Fighting,!" The old medicine's soul body also trembled slightly at this moment, and his low voice echoed in the room: "In the Douqi Continent, the strong Dou Sheng may be rare. But the Emperor of Fighting is extremely difficult to appear, that insurmountable obstacle has made many talented geniuses in the cultivation world retreat in despair. Excluding the lost ancient era, in today's era, except for the one from a thousand years ago, the Avacar Emperor, as far as I know, there hasn't been a second Dou Di on the Douqi Continent. Although Dou Sheng and Dou Di are only one level apart, they are like heaven and earth, so many years, those peak strongmen who have qualified to impact this realm, ultimately ended in failure."

  However, even with Yao Lao's experience, it was impossible for them to know that they often saw the "Second Fighting Emperor".........

  "This 'Tuo Suo Ancient Emperor Jade' might be a relic left behind by the legendary Tuo Suo Ancient Emperor? Although it's unclear what its exact purpose is. Moreover, judging from its appearance, it seems to be only a small part of something larger, but just the name of its previous owner is enough to attract the attention of powerful forces on the continent, causing them to rush over and fight for it."

  Yao Lao's face also showed a hint of solemnity, he had not expected that the Xiao family would possess such an extraordinary object capable of shaking the continent, and now it was already lost.

  "Taoshengdi" let out a deep sigh, and Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. Suddenly, there was an illusory feeling, originally thinking that it was just an ordinary tribal artifact, but now it suddenly had a connection with that legendary figure who only existed in the stories, this kind of abrupt change made Xiao Yan feel somewhat unreal.

  "Alas, it's a pity that someone else has already snatched it away. You might as well consider that the thing never belonged to the Xiao family in the first place." Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Medicine Old Master shook his head helplessly and said.

  With the power of the Xiao family, this ancient jade is definitely not going to be kept safe.

  "No, teacher." Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before suddenly saying: "As for this ancient jade, we still have a chance to retrieve it."

  Yao Lao immediately understood Xiao Yan's meaning and said: "You mean... Yunlan Sect?"

  "Yes, as Xun'er said, Yun Lian Sect may have a hidden mastermind behind them, but they are undoubtedly the starting point. As long as we follow Yun Lian Sect, we might be able to retrieve this treasure." Xiao Yan took a deep breath and slammed his hand on the table, saying: "Something that belongs to our Xiao family, how can it be taken away by others so easily!"

  "Heh heh, young one, you're getting a bit too ambitious. Why don't you first enter the Tianhuo Lianqi Tower for closed-door training? If you can reach the Douling level soon, it'll also increase your chances of obtaining the 'Meteor Heart Flame'." Yao said with a smile.

  Xiao Yan nodded, fell silent for a moment, and his heart calmed down a bit. With his current strength, he was not enough to discuss the law with Yunlan Sect, but as long as he got "Meteor Heart Flame", after he became stronger in the future, he would naturally take everything back!

  However, at this moment, the thief who stole the Toshogu Emperor's jade is teasing another person.

  "Hey, little white mountain boy, didn't expect you to act so well!"
