As Xiao Ze followed Xun'er away, the members of the ancient clans on the warships watched his departing figure, their faces uniformly filled with shock.
In the area where the Yan Clan's group was gathered, the young man with the frivolous expression had his mouth wide open, filled with disbelief.
"I didn't hear wrong, did I? The Gu Clan elder said that the Dan Tower Master is actually a descendant of the Xiao Clan?!"
"It seems so. Xiao Ze didn't deny it either. It looks like the Xiao Clan, once thought to have completely fallen due to a loss of bloodline power, has produced another formidable figure capable of shaking the continent."
Huo Xuan, dressed in white robes and always wearing a warm smile, was also extremely shocked by the revelation of Xiao Ze's identity.
"Perhaps the Xiao Clan, which fell from grace, might return to its former glory through Xiao Ze's power alone."
"That's impossible! The Xiao Clan's peak was under the leadership of a legendary figure like Xiao Xuan, who could dominate all the ancient clans…"
The young man with the frivolous expression instinctively refuted, but Huo Xuan calmly responded, "And how do you think Xiao Ze compares to his ancestor Xiao Xuan? Don't forget, he's also an alchemist."
The young man's face stiffened. Even Xiao Xuan at this age couldn't compare to Xiao Ze. Not only in terms of strength but also in terms of talent. Xiao Ze's focus wasn't just on his Dou Qi cultivation; his accomplishments in alchemy were unparalleled on the Dou Qi continent.
After all, ninth-grade alchemists were extremely rare across the entire Dou Qi continent.
Huo Zhi, her face partially obscured by a veil, remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly, "Moreover, his mastery of thunder power is extraordinarily refined, reaching a level of near perfection."
"Even knowing beforehand that he's a ninth-grade grandmaster, seeing his mastery of thunder still left us in awe. Can one person really command so many powerful abilities?"
Huo Zhi's words made the others realize that Xiao Ze was supposed to excel in fire control. Yet his control over thunder just now was terrifyingly precise, like an old monster who had been immersed in the way of thunder for centuries.
"And that seemed to be the legendary Black Demon Thunder, which only appears when refining ninth-grade pills!" Huo Zhi frowned as she watched Xiao Ze's figure disappear.
She didn't mention that Xiao Ze's control over fire was even more terrifying. Even though he had revealed his power, she couldn't detect any traces of his fire abilities. This was deeply unsettling. As someone who controlled a powerful flame herself, she understood the domineering nature of such forces. To completely hide its presence indicated an unprecedented level of control over an overwhelmingly powerful flame.
On another warship, in a hidden corner, several cloaked figures stood, their auras fluctuating. The leader's voice was filled with malice. "The trash recruited by the Soul Hall, fighting against the Dan Tower so many times, and dealing with Xiao Ze so often, yet they never discovered he was a descendant of that damned Xiao Clan!?"
Hun Ya's eyes gleamed with malice as he watched Xiao Ze leave. Suddenly, he sneered. "Hmph, but at least we now know where the Xiao Clan remnants are. No more searching like a needle in a haystack."
"If I remember correctly, this so-called Dan Tower Master hails from the northwest continent."
"Send word back to mark the northwest continent for extermination. Capture anyone named Xiao and torture them. Let's see how long these wretched remnants can hide!"
The figure behind Hun Ya nodded, quickly taking out a Soul Clan communication jade to relay the crucial message back to their clan. The remaining Xiao Clan members might hold the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, essential for their plans.
"But I've heard that in recent years, a dominant force has emerged in the northwest continent, unifying the region. Could it hinder our plans?" another figure hesitantly asked. Hun Ya sneered.
"A dominant force? It's just a local warlord ruling over a remote corner of the continent! Given the importance of the Ancient Emperor Jade, the clan will likely prioritize this, possibly even sending Saints to the northwest."
Hun Ya smiled confidently about taking over the northwest continent. "As for Xiao Ze, he's more troublesome. His strength is exceptionally formidable, and it wouldn't be wise to send our Saints to the Tomb of the Ancient Emperor."
Hun Ya hesitated. Despite his dissatisfaction with the incompetence of the Soul Hall, there was nothing he could do about Xiao Ze at the moment. Xiao Ze's displayed strength was beyond his current ability to handle. Even Hun Ya, usually confident, felt a rare sense of retreat. If Xiao Ze caught him in the Tomb of the Ancient Emperor, his fate would be grim. After some thought, Hun Ya decided to wait until after the Gu Clan's coming-of-age ceremony to decide whether to enter the tomb. In the Ancient Realm, Xiao Ze might be restrained, but in the tomb, no such restrictions existed. If caught by Xiao Ze there, survival was unlikely. Hun Ya was confident but not foolish enough to court death.
Other ancient clans were either shocked or fearful upon learning Xiao Ze's identity. Shocked that the fallen Xiao Clan could produce another Xiao Xuan-like figure, and fearful of Xiao Ze's potential, worried he might reach Xiao Xuan's former glory, dominating the Dou Qi continent.
In the mountains, an elder with a pale face and tattered clothes remembered the thunder's power he had endured. Gu Qian smiled bitterly, knowing the vast gap between him and Xiao Ze. If Xiao Ze hadn't held back, killing him would have been effortless. Gu Qian shook his head. "With such strength, he indeed deserves to be with the young lady. What am I worrying about?"
With that, Gu Qian's figure slowly disappeared.
Elsewhere, Xiao Ze and his group followed Xun'er deeper into the mountains.
"This is my cultivation place, rarely visited by others. Brother Xiao Ze, you can stay here."
"Perfect. After today's commotion, staying elsewhere would attract too much attention. It's already a hassle thinking about it," Xiao Ze said, looking at the tranquil spot before him, nodding in satisfaction.
