Chapter 965: The Secret of the Xiao Family
Although the palace where Xiao Chen is currently in is a secret room where Xiao Longtu practices, there is no trace of cultivation in this palace, but it is empty, with nothing else except tables, incense burners and portraits.
Xiao Longtu came to the portrait, lit an incense stick, and then inserted it into the incense burner. Then, he respectfully bowed three times to the portrait, and then said to Xiao Chen behind him: "Young Master, do you know who this person is?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the person in the portrait, but saw that the person above the portrait was a handsome young man who was less than thirty years old. The man was wearing a crown, wearing a golden imperial robe, and holding a divine sword. He was extremely majestic.
For some reason, the moment Chen Yu saw this portrait, he felt a familiar feeling.
At this time, Xiao Longtu's voice sounded in Xiao Chen's ears again: "Young Master, do you think the person in this painting is very familiar?"
Xiao Chen came to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What does it mean?"
Xiao Longtu did not look back. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, his eyes full of nostalgia. After a while, he said: "The person in this painting is the ancestor of my Xiao family, that is, my grandfather, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, named Xiao Jiu."
Xiao Jiu, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, also the name of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty came from this.
Xiao Jiu was the most legendary figure in Qingluo Continent back then. At that time, Qingluo Continent did not have the ten major forces now, and all sects were suppressed by the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and had no chance to breathe.
Xiao Jiuxiong was very talented and with his many powerful men, he intended to unify the entire Qingluo Continent. Xiao Jiuguan's strength made their plan go smoothly. Nearly 90% of the Qingluo Continent's territory was occupied by them.
But just as they were about to complete this achievement, a sudden change occurred in which no one knew the inside story. The powerful Xiao Jiu also disappeared in that great change. His civil servants and military generals were also dead and injured.
Since then, the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty began to decline, because of Xiao Jiu's sudden disappearance, and the powerful people in the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty have also been damaged by countless people. Those who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty began to resist.
The Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, which was greatly damaged in vital energy, soon fell under the encirclement of major forces on the mainland. The battle lasted for nearly five million years. A large area of territory of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty was lost, and the strong died in battle and finally settled in a corner.
But even so, the newly rising forces in the Qingluo Continent are unwilling to let go of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty.
They knew the terribleness of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and were afraid of this powerful Divine Dynasty to the core. If they did not completely destroy this Divine Dynasty, no one could guarantee whether the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty would rise again in the future and settle the score with them.
And there are rumors that the reason why the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty is extremely powerful is because the Xiao family has the supreme treasure. After Xiao Jiu disappeared, this treasure was left in the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. Whoever can get this treasure can rule the Qingluo Continent.
The fear of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and the greed for mysterious treasures made countless forces launch the final encirclement and suppression of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty.
At this moment, Xiao Longtu, the heir of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, held a mysterious sword and killed all the warriors who invaded the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, instantly shocked all the forces in the Qingluo Continent.
From then on, out of fear of Xiao Longtu, the major forces also had no choice but to give up the encirclement and suppression of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty. The Qingluo Continent began an era of heroes competing for hegemony, and finally the current situation of the Qingluo Ten Thousand Heroes appeared.
Of course, these are all well-known things to everyone in Qingluo Continent, and it is not a secret to Xiao Chen.
But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Jiu, the founding emperor of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, was so young. Of course, what surprised him the most was why he was so familiar with this portrait of Xiao Jiu.
Is there anything else I have to do with this Xiao Jiu?
Xiao Chen thought about it the more he thought it was possible. Isn’t there such an example before?
Who would have thought that the famous Emperor Luosheng, the Tianluo Continent, had so many close relationships with him, and it was a clone left by him. Maybe this Xiao Jiu and Emperor Luosheng have the same origin.
At this time, Xiao Longtu spoke again: "Young Master Xiao Chen, do you know the secret passed down from generation to generation in our Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen felt aroused in his heart, and suddenly he felt that the secret mentioned by Xiao Longtu might have something to do with him, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "After all, I am just an outsider. Is the secret of the Xiao family not suitable to tell me?"
Xiao Longtu finally turned around and looked at Xiao Chen seriously and said, "What if I say, this secret has something to do with you?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally stopped striking the puzzle. He asked calmly: "If you are willing to say it, I can listen."
Xiao Longtu nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao Chen, you should have heard rumors that the ancestor of my Xiao family was mysteriously missing, but the fact is not that. He was not missing, but died of serious injuries."
Xiao Chen responded: "I have heard people say this, and many people are guessing this way, but I don't quite understand. Who can hurt him like that and die if a person as powerful as him is."
Xiao Longtu smiled helplessly and said, "Young Master Xiao Chen, don't be anxious, listen to me and say slowly. I will answer your doubts one by one."
"Where did our ancestor Xiao Jiu come from? Even the children of the Xiao family, we have never said that, and there is no record in the classics he left behind. We only know that since he appeared in Qingluo Continent, he had already shown an invincible posture. At that time, there were still powerful people in the Shenyou Realm in Qingluo Continent, but no one was his opponent.
When I was young, I followed him for a while. At that time, I asked him where the Xiao family originated, but he didn't say it. He just told me meaningfully that the Xiao family's roots were not in the Qingluo Continent. The reason why he stayed in Qingluo and established the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty was to wait for someone and wait for someone who was extremely important to him.
I asked him who the person was, and he didn't tell me, but at that moment, I felt that my grandfather was very lonely. The man who was invincible across the Qingluo Continent also had an unknown side. Since then, I have never asked my grandfather this question again, because I think this question will arouse his sorrow, and I can't bear to ask.
Later, a group of powerful mysterious people appeared in Qingluo Continent. They went straight to the imperial capital of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty and threatened the lives of the entire Xiao family disciples. Grandpa who was fighting abroad rushed back after hearing the news and started a desperate battle with the group of people. Until now, I don’t know why the war was the reason and where those people came from. I only know that those people are very strong.
It was this battle that my grandfather was seriously injured and eventually died of death.”
