It turns out that Xiao Xun's clan, the Xiao family, is an ancient clan with a history of ten thousand years, whose strength is comparable to many established silver-level forces.

More than 6,000 years ago, the Xiao clan suddenly encountered a great upheaval, which led to the death of all the clan's powerful members and the complete inheritance of the clan's cultivation techniques was also severed at that time.

Without the protection of a powerful figure, the Xiao clan was plunged into turmoil. Under the combined pursuit of their enemies, countless clan members were killed or wounded. In the end, only the branch of Xiao Xun, with fewer than a hundred members, managed to escape and hide.

Xiao Xun's ancestors led the remaining members of their clan through a series of wanderings, eventually finding refuge in Shangyang City, far from their enemies.

This secret realm was a contingency plan left by Xiao Xun's ancestors before the upheaval began, in order to preserve the Xiao clan's heritage and give future generations a chance to rise again.

Xiao Xun's account was almost identical to Jiang Yuchuan's conjecture.

Furthermore, in Jiang Yuchuan's view, the incident that led to the extinction of the Xiao clan's powerful members was very likely related to the demon race!

However, Jiang Yuchuan did not tell Xiao Xun his guess. After Xiao Xun finished speaking, he directly took the storage ring and began to examine it.

The space inside the ring was slightly smaller than his storage bracelet, but what was inside still shocked Jiang Yuchuan to some extent.

A crimson nine-ringed sword of far superior quality to the molten gold sword in Xiao Xun's hand; eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones; two inner cores of eighth-order demon beasts and five inner cores of seventh-order demon beasts; a bottle of top-grade pills rich in fire attribute.

They are all good items, but only the spirit stones and the inner cores of demon beasts are useful to Jiang Yuchuan.

After taking out the two items and storing them separately in his storage bracelet, Jiang Yuchuan took out the bottle of top-grade fire-attribute pills and returned them to Xiao Xun along with the ring.

“I’ve taken everything inside that’s related to me. You can keep the rest. After all, it’s something left by your ancestors.”

"Senior..."

Xiao Xun's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at Jiang Yuchuan with a face full of emotion.

"All right."

Jiang Yuchuan waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "There's no need for words of gratitude and politeness. Now that we've taken everything, let's go out."

"I will obey your instructions, senior!"

Xiao Xun bowed again to express his gratitude and accepted the storage ring and the bottle of Golden Sun Pills specifically used for cultivating the Great Sun Technique.

"Oh, right," Jiang Yuchuan added, "There's something else I haven't taken from that storage ring. When your cultivation level is high enough to open it yourself, you'll naturally know what it is. Right now, you can't control that thing. If you take it out easily, it will surely bring about your death."

"Understood, senior!"

Xiao Xun nodded earnestly.

Although he was curious about what Jiang Yuchuan had left in the storage ring, he also trusted Jiang Yuchuan's words completely. Therefore, apart from curiosity, he didn't have many other thoughts.

After leaving the secret realm, Jiang Yuchuan took Xiao Xun directly back to the cave where they had previously secluded themselves for cultivation.

The inheritance has been obtained; the next step is revenge.

However, before taking action, Jiang Yuchuan asked Xiao Xun whether he wanted him to deal with the enemy or whether he planned to do it himself.

After all, with the inheritance completed by the Xiao clan, and relying on his own talent, Xiao Xun's cultivation level improved quite quickly.

Being able to personally kill his enemy would be the best thing for Xiao Xun.

Therefore, Xiao Xun followed Jiang Yuchuan into seclusion in the cave to cultivate.

Xiao Xun is currently cultivating the "Great Sun Technique," which is a fragment of the "Great Sun Tathagata Blade," a complete inheritance of the Xiao clan.

Therefore, after obtaining the entire "Great Sun Tathagata Blade" and combining it with the Golden Sun Pill, cultivation became as if aided by divine intervention.

In just half a month, he broke through to the peak of the Returning Heaven Realm.

While Xiao Xun was cultivating the Great Sun Tathagata Blade, Jiang Yuchuan used the mid-grade spirit stones he obtained from the secret realm to inscribe an enhanced version of the spirit gathering array in preparation for his breakthrough.

Xiaoqing and Xiaogu did not enter the secret realm with Jiang Yuchuan and Xiao Xun. So, when the two returned, Xiaoqing followed Xiao Xun around during their rest, asking him about the specific details of their trip to the secret realm.

At this point, Xiao Xun was already considered half of Jiang Yuchuan's subordinate, and had become familiar with Jiang Yuchuan. Therefore, he was no longer as afraid of or wary of Xiao Qing as before.

Therefore, Xiao Xun patiently answered Xiao Qing's questions.

"Xiao Xun, is the Great Sun Tathagata Blade you're cultivating really an Earth-rank technique? I remember Master saying that Earth-rank techniques are something even many Silver-rank forces don't have!"

Despite being a demon beast, Xiao Qing is also a demon beast with a thirst for knowledge. Therefore, in Jiang Yuchuan's spare time, she would ask him many questions.

This is the main reason why it asked Xiao Xun such a question.

"It should be right!"

Xiao Xun sensed the surging true energy within his body and replied, "I'm not quite sure myself, but that's what Senior Jiang said."

Xiaoqing blinked and nodded. "So it was Master who said that. Then it must be true." Then she asked curiously, "When you go down the mountain to take revenge, can you take me and Xiaogu with you?"

Xiao Xun glanced at the insect and snake lying in front of him with a hint of curiosity. "It's possible, but the journey of revenge is fraught with danger. If something happens to you and Xiao Gu, how am I supposed to explain it to the senior? Besides, the senior might not even agree to you going with Xiao Gu, right?"

His concern stemmed entirely from the fact that he had never seen Xiaoqing make a move since he met her, so he regarded her merely as a symbol of strength and status.

Xiao Qing scoffed at Xiao Xun's doubts, "You little human, how dare you look down on Grandpa Xiao Qing and Grandpa Xiao Gu! You really have no vision! I, Grandpa Xiao Qing, could take on a dozen of you at once!"

Xiao Xun pursed his lips, though he didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't refute it aloud.

Seeing that Xiao Xun remained silent, Xiao Qing, still unanswered, pressed on again: "Tell me quickly! Do you agree to let Xiao Gu and me go down the mountain with you?"

Xiao Xun rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't mind, but it depends on whether you agree, senior."

Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Xiao Xun and snorted, "Don't worry about that. As long as I talk to Master, he definitely won't refuse. Besides, Master will feel more at ease knowing that Xiao Gu and I are going with you. You'll be thanking us profusely then!"

"Good good!"

Xiao Xun nodded in agreement.

In his opinion, neither Xiaoqing nor Xiaogu were very big. He could simply carry them in his arms without any danger or hindrance.

After making the agreement, Xiao Xun continued his arduous cultivation.

Xiaoqing knew that the revenge mission was very important to Xiao Xun, so she stopped bothering him and instead went into the deep forest every day to catch a ferocious beast and bring it back to Xiao Xun as food to replenish his energy.
