Xu Nian left the Dragon Transformation Pond, and it wasn't long before he encountered Xu Tianxu.
Xu Nian knew Xu Tianxu had left on purpose.
His intent was simply to give Xu Nian a public opportunity to establish his might.
"How did it go?" Xu Tianxu asked with a smile.
"Average, I've only awakened the Second-Rank Ancestor Vein Power, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Grandpa," Xu Nian replied.
"Haha, disappointed? No, I saw everything that happened in the Dragon Transformation Pond. If I'm not mistaken, your Ancestor Vein Power has not yet reached the Perfect Level, and there's still much room for improvement. All the Dragon Transformation Power in the pond was absorbed, probably due to some other reason," Xu Tianxu laughed.
Xu Nian gave an embarrassed smile.
Indeed, he could not hide anything from his grandfather in front of him.
"Actually, when your mother left the family and eloped with that man, I was aware. I originally thought she'd be happy, but unexpectedly, it brought her harm instead. That piece of Black Jade— I purposefully placed it there for her to steal," Xu Tianxu said.
At this point, Xu Tianxu's face visibly carried a hint of sorrow.
Xu Nian was extremely surprised.
He never imagined that this piece of Black Jade was deliberately allowed to be stolen by his mother by his grandfather.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
If his grandfather hadn't tacitly consented, how could his mother have stolen the family treasure from such a skilled expert and have fled from the Imperial Capital?
As for why he let his mother steal the Black Jade, it was certainly to provide her with a protective charm.
As long as his mother didn't hand over the Black Jade, the Xu Family wouldn't do anything to her.
Having understood all this, Xu Nian's gaze towards Xu Tianxu became even more reverent.
From these actions, it was evident that Xu Tianxu truly loved his own daughter.
For the happiness of his child, he had invested great effort.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Black Jade should now be on you, and the power of the Dragon Transformation Pond must have been absorbed by the Black Jade, right?" Xu Tianxu looked at Xu Nian again and said.
"Yes!" Xu Nian didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Even if it's with you, don't take it out. I'll pretend as if I don't know anything," Xu Tianxu continued.
"Huh?" Xu Nian was startled.
He had already thought it through.
If his grandfather really demanded that he hand over the Black Jade, he would plead with him to keep it for a while, then transfer the Yetian God Emperor out of it before returning the Black Jade.
After all, the Black Jade originally belonged to the Xu Family.
But he had never expected his grandfather to make such a statement.
"This piece of Black Jade has a lot of significance; it's the only treasure left by our Xu Family's ancestors. However, its secrets remain unfathomed by anyone. The Black Jade would just be buried in the Xu Family. Since it serves a purpose with you, it might as well stay with you. Besides, you are also half a member of the Xu Family. If the Black Jade is with you, it can't be considered lost to outsiders," Xu Tianxu said with a smile, his face showing a very kind expression.
But Xu Nian's heart was filled with emotion.
Having such a grandfather was truly his luck.
It was his mother's fortune, his sister Xu Xin's fortune.
"Alright, enough idle chatter. Here is the key to the ancestral land. You can enter the ancestral land by crushing it. However, I must warn you that the power in the ancestral land is very dangerous. Those wild beasts are all formidable; they are extremely vicious and without Spiritual Wisdom, having only the instinct for slaughter. You must be very careful when hunting them. Also, our Xu Family's top genius, Xu Bai, is currently in the ancestral land. If you encounter him there, he might pose a threat to you," Xu Tianxu cautioned.
"What kind of strength does Xu Bai have?" Xu Nian asked.
"He's a Four-star Body Saint, but he has the legendary special physique, the Overlord Dominator Body, peerless in terms of physical prowess. Plus, he already awakened Fourth-Rank Ancestor Vein Power when he did awaken. Now that he has been inside for a month, he must have improved a lot. His combat power is unparalleled, so you must be extremely careful when facing him," Xu Tianxu answered.
Xu Nian nodded his head.
The Overlord Dominator Body?
It seemed to be a very powerful special physique for Body Cultivation, peerless in terms of physical strength.
Awakened with Fourth-Rank Ancestor Vein Power.
This indicated that Xu Bai's strength was absolutely far superior to an ordinary Four-star Body Saint Expert.
Of course, if Xu Bai did not provoke him, no matter how strong he was, it had nothing to do with him.
But if Xu Bai did not know his place, Xu Nian wouldn't mind making sure Xu Bai stayed in the ancestral land forever.
After all, his Undying Devouring Sky Beast was growing at every moment.
Whatever Overlord Body would be like paper mâché under the claws of his Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
"Go on in!" Xu Tianxu said.
He had said all that needed saying, and the rest was up to Xu Nian himself.
"Hmm!" Xu Nian nodded.
After speaking, he directly crushed the Ancestral Land Key and then felt a strong suction force in front of him.
A spatial vortex appeared before him.
Xu Nian took a step forward, and his figure vanished into the spatial vortex.
Watching Xu Nian leave, Xu Tianxu's face gradually became serious.
Xu Tianxu said coldly.
Then, an elder walked out from not far away.
This elder bore a slight resemblance to Xu Tianxu.
This person was the third uncle of the Xu Family, Xu Tianxu's brother, Xu Tiande.
"Did big brother send you to watch over me? It seems that big brother has already made a decision, hasn't he?" Xu Tianxu asked coldly.
"Yes, big brother has decided to get rid of Xu Nian. This child is growing too fast, and he hardly has any loyalty towards our Xu Family, even seeming somewhat hostile. So after discussing with the Supreme Elders, big brother has decided to eliminate him. The Supreme Elders have already given the order, and you must stay in the bamboo forest on the back hill during this time, not allowed to take half a step away," Xu Tiande said seriously.
"Haha, all this trouble over a youngster, you're really going to great lengths. He's our own descendant, too. Once this gets out, I'm afraid the Xu Family will be laughed at by people all over the world," Xu Tianxu laughed heartily, his eyes full of mockery.
"There's no other way. For the future of our Family Head, Xu Nian must die. We cannot afford the slightest compassion. That's why the Supreme Elder asked me to watch over you," Xu Tiande said with a sharp look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xu Tianxu's face showed even thicker mockery, which eventually turned into deep sorrow and indignation.
"What a cold-hearted Xu Family. The Xu Family will sooner or later be destroyed in your hands. You don't need to watch over me. If I were to take action, I wouldn't have sent Xu Nian into the ancestral land. And with your strength, you couldn't stop me anyway. That's all I have to say. I just want to remind you, you will regret doing this," Xu Tianxu snorted coldly.
Then he angrily swept his sleeves and left.
Xu Tiande stood there, his eyes reflecting a sense of helplessness.
He always felt his second brother was extremely talented, far surpassing their elder brother. But he was too benevolent.
If his second brother had the same tactics and mentality as their elder brother, he would certainly support his second brother to be the Family Head of the Xu Family.
