702: Chapter 702 The Supreme Token is Lost, Xiao Chen is Terrified
But believing the token to be a treasure, Xiao Yan named it: "xiao token!"
After Xiao Yan's Ascension to the Major Thousand Worlds, it was only after experiencing many hardships that he accidentally learned about the token he had found in the Xiao Realm on the Fighting Qi Continent.
"The true name of the xiao token: supreme token!"
A treasure like the supreme token is extremely rare even in the Major Thousand Worlds. It can open a Secret Realm left behind by a Supreme-level expert, containing countless Heaven And Earth Treasures, Spiritual Techniques, Divine Artifacts, Medicinal Pills...
In short, the benefits are numerous.
Xiao Yan believed that if he could open the Supreme Secret Realm, with the treasures inside, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
In the Xiao Family, only a few people knew this secret.
"The purpose of returning to the Fighting Qi Continent this time is to retrieve the supreme token; your father has decided to open the Supreme Secret Realm," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"supreme token?" Hearing this, Xiao Lin frowned.
In the Family, there was indeed an ancient-looking token called the xiao token. Because no one knew its use, it was casually left in the Treasure Pavilion.
"Ancestor, please follow me!"
Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and led Xiao Chen to the Treasure Pavilion, while the remaining two people stayed in the main hall to drink tea.
The Treasure Pavilion.
Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen soon arrived before a massive hall, with three words on the plaque: 'Treasure Pavilion'.
An Elder of the Xiao Family was responsible for guarding the Treasure Pavilion.
"Family Head!" The old man bowed slightly.
"Elder Xiao Quan, open the Treasure Pavilion. I need to go inside!" Xiao Lin said indifferently.
"Yes!" Elder Xiao Quan formed hand Seals, his Fighting Qi flowing as he struck a rune imprint onto the Treasure Pavilion's gates. Immediately, the formation patterns spread and slowly dissipated.
"Family Head, please!" Elder Xiao Quan spoke.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Lin led Xiao Chen, pushing open the doors to enter the Treasure Pavilion; the internal space was enormous.
It was a space created by a Dou Sheng expert. Countless shelves stood before them, holding many jade boxes categorized by type.
There were Medicinal Pills, rare medicinal herbs, high-quality refined copper, sharp weapons...
Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen ignored them all and walked toward the depths of the hall. Fifteen minutes later, they finally reached the innermost part.
The scene before them left both of them dumbfounded.
"Where is the supreme token?" Xiao Lin was wide-eyed with shock. The shelf where the supreme token was supposed to be was empty, though the transparent light barrier was still there.
Gone? Lost? Who could possibly have the ability to steal the supreme token under the Xiao Family's heavy defenses without being discovered?
"Xiao Lin, the supreme token is lost?"
Xiao Chen asked with a grave expression. He had come back specifically for the supreme token, and now he was being told it was gone.
"How can this be?" Xiao Lin was completely bewildered.
One must know that the Treasure Pavilion is a restricted area of the Xiao Family. Ordinary Family Disciples cannot enter, and even Xiao Family Elders are not permitted.
Unless they are Disciples who have performed great services for the Xiao Family, only then are they allowed to enter the Treasure Pavilion to choose one item.
And even then, it must be recorded in the ledger.
"Elder Xiao Quan!" Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.
"Family Head!" Elder Xiao Quan, who was guarding outside, hurried in and bowed slightly.
"Elder Xiao Quan, who took the token from here?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Family Head, every item in the Treasure Pavilion is recorded in the ledger. One moment!" Elder Xiao Quan quickly brought the registry.
He flipped through it rapidly, but even after finishing, no one had taken the token.
"Family Head, no one has taken the token!" Elder Xiao Quan said, frowning.
Xiao Lin didn't believe it and quickly inspected it himself; indeed, no one had taken it.
"There really is nothing!" Xiao Lin said unwillingly.
"When this place was established as the Treasure Pavilion, many Heaven And Earth Treasures were placed under different Restrictions based on their rarity. That token was personally sealed by Second Uncle Xiao Ding, and that was the work of a Dou Sheng expert!"
Xiao Lin closed the registry and spoke slowly as he recalled; if that were the case, ordinary Disciples wouldn't have enough strength to take it away.
"Go find Xiao Ding immediately!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
"Uncle, the Seal on that token in the Treasure Pavilion was personally set by you. How could it be gone?"
Having summoned Xiao Ding, Xiao Lin asked.
"That's impossible. Even your father couldn't see through that thing. It was placed in the Treasure Pavilion, and no one should have touched it!" Xiao Ding was also puzzled.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin also fell into deep thought.
"Then investigate. Every Disciple and Elder who has entered the Treasure Pavilion must be checked one by one. We must find it!" Xiao Chen said sternly.
"Yes!" Xiao Lin gave the order and arranged for people to begin the investigation.
"Ancestor, since this is the case, please stay comfortably in the Xiao Family for now. I believe there will be news soon!" Xiao Lin showed a faint smile.
Subsequently, Xiao Chen and the two great experts were settled in to wait for the final result.
"Ancestor, this Junior would like to ask you to take action to save someone!" Suddenly, Xiao Lin spoke solemnly.
"Oh?"
"My Elder sister Xiao Xiao was severely injured and fell into a coma. The Family has used every means available, but to no effect!"
Xiao Lin said sadly, clearly very worried about his Elder sister.
"Let's go take a look," Xiao Chen said curiously. One must know that the Xiao Family was no ordinary Family; it was an Ancient Imperial Clan. After Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Di, it could be called the number one power on the Fighting Qi Continent.
For someone to actually injure a member of the Xiao Family, their gall was truly boundless.
Furthermore, the Xiao Family was even proficient in Alchemist arts, yet they were helpless.
In a hall in the back mountain, a rich medicinal fragrance could be smelled even before entering. Alchemists from the Flame Alliance were busy at work.
"Family Head!" Seeing Xiao Lin's arrival, the people present bowed slightly.
Xiao Lin waved them off and led Xiao Chen into the hall.
In the center was a bed made of warm jade. Lying upon it was a figure with a full, shapely body and an enchanting, charming aura.
It was Xiao Xiao. Currently, her face was pale and her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, as if she were the living dead.
Sensing the familiar aura of the Xiao Clan Bloodline, a coldness appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes.
He slowly extended his right hand, pointing a finger at Xiao Xiao's brow. A wisp of Soul Power entered her body, searching inch by inch.
Limbs, internal organs, Meridians, bones...
Finally, deep within Xiao Xiao's Bloodline, he found a wisp of extremely yin and cold energy containing a malicious aura, clinging like a maggot on a bone.
It was destroying her life Origin power. Had it not been for the resistance of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, Xiao Xiao would have been consumed long ago. This was also the fundamental reason she could not wake up.
As Xiao Chen approached that malicious power, the scene before his eyes changed. A massive face formed, floating in mid-air. This face was filled with endless majesty.
Two pitch-black dragon horns were like two heavenly blades, pointing toward a rift in a sea of lightning.
Golden eyes, like ancient stars, blossomed with endless light, piercing through the Void Realm.
"This is..."
Xiao Chen, finding himself in the midst of this terrifying scene, had his eyes wide open. This peerless expert would be a Supreme existence even in the Major Thousand Worlds.
"Hmph, an ant dares to spy on this King!"
A cold snort, like heavenly might descending, struck Xiao Chen's wisp of Soul Power. It had no resistance and was shattered to pieces.
Pfft...
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. His body staggered back several steps.
His heart pounded wildly, and his eyes were filled with nothing but fear, as if he had seen some forbidden existence.
One must know that Xiao Chen was a top-tier Genius of the Xiao Clan, who had roamed the Fighting Qi Continent without rival, known as the Blood Axe.
But now, what exactly had he seen to cause such fear?
"Ancestor, you..." Xiao Lin was also shocked.
"Within Xiao Xiao's body, there is a wisp of extremely yin and cold Malicious Qi that is constantly devouring her life force Origin. Fortunately, the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline is resisting it."
"But that power is too vast. The Dou Di Bloodline can only maintain her life force Origin from breaking; it is very difficult to fight back."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spoke with lingering fear.
"What? Does even Ancestor have no way?" Xiao Lin said in shock.
"No. Unless it's an Alchemist Great Grandmaster, only then would there be a slim chance of survival!" Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"Where is my father? Can he come back to treat my Elder sister?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Alas, the Major Thousand Worlds is in chaos. Xiao Yan is currently busy dealing with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and cannot return for the time being!" Xiao Chen spoke.
"Is that the only way then?" Xiao Lin said helplessly, his palms clenched. Ever since Xiao Yu and Xiao Yujie returned from the Central Plains,
They had learned that Xiao Xiao's injury was caused by Hun Tiandi.
If they wanted to save Xiao Xiao, the only option now was to find Hun Tiandi.
"Thank you, Ancestor. At least we know the root of the injury; the next step is to find a way to solve it!" Xiao Lin bowed slightly.
Xiao Chen shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Three days later, the Xiao Family's investigation into the token was finally finished.
"Family Head, the people on the registry have been checked. Only one person remains unverified," Elder Xiao Quan spoke.
"Who?"
"Miss Xiao Yuer. She has currently left the Family and her whereabouts are unknown!" Elder Xiao Quan reported.
"Whereabouts unknown?" Xiao Chen was truly angry. Ever since returning to the Fighting Qi Continent plane, things had been very frustrating.
"The matter is..." Xiao Lin began to explain.
"Wait a moment, what did you say? What is the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty called?" a red-robed man asked with a frown.
"His name is Hun Tiandi, the Lord of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty!" Xiao Lin replied.
"Hun Tiandi? Have we seen a ghost?" The other red-robed man was speechless, feeling more fear and indignation than anything else.
