237: Hun Cang: Xiao Yan, you must accept the semi-finished Emperor Pill!

Chapter 237: Soul Cang: Xiao Yan, you must accept this semi-finished emperor pill!

Among the three, Gu Yuan was the most incredulous and puzzled.

In his heart, after repelling the Soul Emperor, the only people whose strength approached that of a Dou Emperor were himself and this mysterious Dou Saint expert.

In terms of familiarity, Xiao Xuan, and even the clan leaders of the Lei and Yao clans, were more acquainted with him.

Under such natural advantageous conditions, once the emperor pill was obtained, if he stepped forward to contend for it, he would surely gain immense support.

Who wouldn't want to become an Emperor?

However, all of Gu Yuan's fantasies were shattered by Soul Cang's words.

Collecting his thoughts, Gu Yuan asked somewhat impatiently, "Why Xiao Yan? His strength is still some distance from a Nine-Star Dou Saint; wouldn't giving him the emperor pill be a waste?"

Xiao Xuan turned his head and looked at the somewhat flustered Gu Yuan, understanding his reaction.

On the Dou Qi Continent, countless people strive their entire lives for the dream of becoming a Dou Emperor.

Now, the emperor pill was right there, and Gu Yuan's strength was precisely very close, making him one of the very suitable candidates.

In this situation, even Xiao Xuan, from a rational perspective, believed that giving this pill to Gu Yuan was a good choice.

Because he and Gu Yuan had known each other for many years and understood Gu Yuan's character.

Even if he became a Dou Emperor, Gu Yuan would not become as brutal as the Soul Emperor.

Of course, Xiao Xuan actually somewhat agreed with the suggestion made by Soul Cang.

Xiao Yan was a member of the Xiao Clan; if he could obtain this emperor pill and become a Dou Emperor in the future, wouldn't their Xiao Clan be able to rise again?

The only one who remained relatively calm was Candle Dragon. After a brief moment of surprise, he gave Soul Cang a deep look, vaguely guessing the reason, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Because the information he knew largely depended on him living in that era, understanding many secrets, including those concerning Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

But after so many years, Soul Cang's age didn't seem to exceed fifty. How could he be so familiar with the situation inside Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave?

"Clan Leader Gu." Facing the somewhat agitated Gu Yuan, Soul Cang smiled gently, "Based on this entire scheme, do you think I am an impulsive person who makes decisions on his own?"

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "You must give me a satisfactory answer; otherwise, I will never agree to such a distribution of the emperor pill."

Soul Cang nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Xuan, saying, "Explain to him what I told you earlier."

Ignoring Gu Yuan, who had turned to look at him, Xiao Xuan was momentarily stunned, then asked, "Can I speak now?"

Soul Cang nodded again.

Xiao Xuan smiled and then began to tell Gu Yuan about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and Xiao Yan's cultivation method.

Beside them, Candle Dragon also listened in, initially not paying much attention, but gradually becoming more serious.

After a while, Gu Yuan said in astonishment, "Xiao Xuan, we've known each other for so many years; you can't be deceiving me!"

Xiao Yan's cultivation method was actually identical to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's?

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was originally formed from flames, not human?

These secretive pieces of information left Gu Yuan completely bewildered.

Xiao Xuan looked at the expression on Gu Yuan's face and couldn't help but smile wryly. When he first learned this information, he too was somewhat shocked and lost in thought.

Who could have imagined that a descendant of a fallen Xiao Family would possess such fortune?

Gu Yuan's expression darkened, and he said seriously, "Xiao Xuan, you must swear, or I won't believe it."

"Alright, alright, no problem." Xiao Xuan agreed without hesitation. His clear conscience made Gu Yuan believe him a little more.

At this moment, Candle Dragon said seriously, "No need to swear; this Emperor can testify for him."

Gu Yuan looked at him, then realized, and cupped his hands, saying, "I haven't asked for your esteemed name yet."

"This old man is Candle Dragon." The Old Dragon Emperor's indifferent tone carried a hint of arrogance.

"Candle Dragon?" Gu Yuan murmured softly, then suddenly looked up, his eyes shining, "Are you the one from the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan?"

Candle Dragon was surprised: "You've heard of me?"

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Back then, the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan dominated the continent and was extremely powerful; I naturally heard of your esteemed name."

No wonder such a formidable expert suddenly appeared; it turns out he was also an old monster who survived from ancient times.

Knowing Candle Dragon's identity, and with him testifying for Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan already believed most of what Xiao Xuan said.

This being the case, entrusting the emperor pill to Xiao Yan indeed offered a greater chance of breaking through to Dou Emperor than for himself.

Moreover, Xiao Yan's relationship with the Gu Clan was also... Gu Yuan's gaze caught a glimpse of a pair of men and women approaching, and his thoughts abruptly stopped.

"Father." Xun'er hugged Xiao Yan's arm and sweetly greeted him.

Xiao Yan scratched his nose, a little embarrassed: "Greetings, Clan Leader Gu."

Gu Yuan waved his hand: "Don't call me Clan Leader; you can just call me Uncle from now on. Besides, I don't think it will be long before that 'Uncle' title changes too."

Xun'er's face turned crimson, and she chided, "Father, you..."

Seeing his daughter's shy demeanor, Gu Yuan inwardly lamented that a daughter grown up would not stay, and looking at Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but sigh: "You really found a good big brother, kid."

What?

Xiao Yan felt confused. Why did Uncle Gu suddenly seem so emotional? Did Big Brother talk about something with them just now?

Seeing Big Brother's gaze sweep over, Xiao Yan quickly said, "Big Brother, why did you ask me to bring Xun'er?"

Soul Cang smiled and asked, "Xun'er, I want to extract your Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and give it to Xiao Yan. Are you willing?"

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

Xun'er said without hesitation, "As long as it's good for Big Brother Xiao Yan, I am naturally willing."

"Good." Soul Cang nodded, raised his left hand, and two clusters of flames ascended, namely the Void Swallowing Flame and the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Flame.

Pushing the flames towards Xiao Yan, Soul Cang asked, "Did you retrieve the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame I asked you to get earlier?"

Xiao Yan nodded and took out a cluster of flames, which was indeed the Burning Flame Valley's Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

He scratched his head and said, "Big Brother, there are imprints left by their Burning Flame Valley ancestors inside; I can't absorb it."

"No matter." Soul Cang took it, and with a series of manipulations, he separated the imprints from the Heavenly Flame, which shocked the onlookers.

The Heavenly Flame, hailed as the supreme of all fires in the world, was like any other object in Soul Cang's hands.

His skill with fire was simply incredible.

Soul Cang then extracted the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame from Xun'er's body.

Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er, whose face was a little pale, and lovingly pulled her into his embrace.

Soul Cang said, "Second Brother, devour these Heavenly Flames. Afterwards, I will bring you the emperor pill to help you become an Emperor."

What?!

Xiao Yan and Xun'er's eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief and shock.

Especially Xun'er, her small mouth slightly agape, her disbelieving gaze shifting between Soul Cang and Xiao Yan.

After all this, the opportunity to become an Emperor is just being given to my Big Brother Xiao Yan? That... how embarrassing...

Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand: "Big Brother, other things can be discussed, but I absolutely disagree with this matter. I've come this far entirely thanks to Big Brother. I absolutely cannot take this so-called emperor pill. If anyone should take it, it should be you, Big Brother. Without you, we wouldn't have seized this opportunity, and the emperor pill would surely have been taken by the Soul Clan. In terms of merit, it should go to you."

Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and Candle Dragon were all stunned. The bond between these two brothers was truly deep.

Especially Gu Yuan, who opened his mouth several times, wishing he could say, 'Since neither of you wants it, why not give this emperor pill to me?'

"No, there's no room for discussion. After you become an Emperor, we will all have opportunities. Trust me, Second Brother!" Soul Cang said decisively, his tone extremely serious, allowing no refusal.

Because Soul Cang knew very well that it was a semi-finished emperor pill, not enough to become an Emperor. Only by giving it to Xiao Yan himself could he 'farm' the system for a complete one.

As for the opportunity left by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, Soul Cang had never thought highly of it from beginning to end.

Because inheriting that opportunity was extremely dangerous; even Xiao Yan in the original story almost died. Soul Cang had carefully managed things for so many years to reach this point, so he naturally wouldn't choose to take such a risk.

Otherwise, what was the purpose of him painstakingly supporting Xiao Yan's growth to this moment?

Wasn't it to 'farm' for a complete emperor pill by exchanging the semi-finished one?
