Chapter 1109  The Position of the Head of the Family

"Where did you get this thing?!"

After sealing the glass bottle in the first place, Guitou calmed down and questioned Xiao Mian in a rare cold tone.

Xiao Mian was shocked and told him the origin of the glass bottle.

This glass bottle was obtained by Xiao Mian after he killed the dwarf who claimed to be Hei Zhong in the cellar of the underground war city of Boguzhai in Chaoge City.

At that time, Guitou was busy digesting Long Yinyu's Nascent Soul and didn't know about it.

Now that he knew that the mysterious golden liquid was actually corpse oil, and thinking of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the cellar that day, Xiao Mian had something in mind.

Looking at Guitou's fierce reaction, this thing is really not a good thing!

"Damn it! The spiritual energy of this cultivation world is sluggish, and the realm of the cultivators has plummeted. I didn't expect that this crooked way that harms the people has been preserved..."

After listening to Xiao Mian's story, Guitou muttered to himself.

"Ghost Master!"

"This is also corpse oil, but it is not ordinary corpse oil. It is refined from the bodies of babies who died in the womb or were born prematurely. Babies are innocent and have pure thoughts. This thing is colorless and tasteless; however, most babies who died in the womb or were born prematurely are full of resentment and hatred, and this thing is extremely evil!" After explaining the origin of the bottle of glazed gold liquid, the ghost head said with a sense of relief: "This thing is called - Destroying God! It is a sinister and deadly poison that can kill a cultivator in the God Transformation Realm!"

"What...what!?"

Even Xiao Mian was shocked after hearing what the ghost head said.

Who would have thought that the thing contained in the small glazed bottle could actually poison a cultivator in the God Transformation Realm?

No wonder the ghost head was so shocked...

How could there be such a fierce thing in the black tomb?

Are there any similar deadly poisons in the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea?

Thinking about this, Xiao Mian pasted high-level soul-sealing talismans all over the glass bottle, and then carefully put it into the soul-forbidden box.

Xiao Mian couldn't help being careful with this thing!

"What are you going to do about the current situation? Are you going to play along and play Xiao Nantian's identity to the end? Or are you going to show your true colors and let the old ghost of the Xiao family die with regret?"

"May I ask the old ghost: What about Xiao Bailu..."

"Boy! Let me advise you: If there is no real evidence, it is best to treat it as if it has never happened! I know you are doubting that Xiao Bailu is the reincarnation of your young sister who died young, but from ancient times to the present, no one has ever confirmed such a thing as reincarnation - the so-called reincarnation of the two saints of Xishuzhou is nothing but nirvana! If you have any concerns, you will inevitably be influenced by your emotions and may repeat the same mistakes!"

"..., I understand! From the old ghost's point of view: what is the old ghost's intention?"

"His situation is not good! At least, there is absolutely no possession of the body. Your ability! That's why he had to resort to this last resort, using corpse oil to deceive your mind, and then wanted to turn you into Xiao Nantian, so that you could protect the Xiao family for him and work for the Xiao family! "

"No wonder! When we first met that day, he said I was late!"

"If you had come a year or two earlier, the old ghost might really choose to use the secret technique of taking over your body! Now! Most of his seven souls have dissipated, and even three souls have been ignited by him. I'm afraid he can't hold on for long! It's just a lingering breath!"

"Ignite the soul fire?"

"Well! That old ghost has given up the hope of re-entering reincarnation!"

Ignite the soul fire, and the soul fragments of the cultivator will be burned out. Although it can provide the cultivator with the power to linger on, the result is even more miserable.

At this time, Xiao Mian felt some sympathy for the ancestor of the Xiao family.

Even the conspiracy and tricks that the other party had placed on him became insignificant.

Anyway, Xiao Mian didn't lose anything except a bottle of corpse oil...

The problem is, since the Xiao family is at the end of its rope and has even fallen to the point where only four people are left in the family, why don't they think of a way to get out?

The next morning, Xiao Mian went to the attic to pay his respects to the ancestor of the Xiao family as usual.

Unexpectedly, there were already people in the attic, not only Xiao Qingxia and Xiao Bailu, but also an unconscious teenager who was supported by Xiao Bailu and sat there.

I think that person is Xiao Nantian's younger brother - Xiao Nanming!

Just looking at this posture, what does the ancestor of the Xiao family want to do?

Before Xiao Mian figured out the meaning, the ancestor of the Xiao family had already solved the mystery.

"Nantian! Now my Xiao family is declining, and there are only four of you in the family - the old man is only one breath away from death, so you won't make up the number!" The ancestor of the Xiao family said miserably: "Among the four of you, you have the highest cultivation level and are the eldest grandson, so grandpa decided: from today on, you, Xiao Nantian, will take over the position of the head of the Xiao family!"

"Aunt is still alive, how dare Nantian overstep your authority?"

"Your aunt can cultivate to the high level of the golden elixir, which is already her limit. Not to mention becoming an ancestor by chance, it is impossible to go one step further! Although Bailu and Nanming have decent qualifications, they are the most important after all, and you have already condensed your spiritual consciousness. As long as you go one step further, you will become an ancestor of the Nascent Soul, which is enough to glorify the lintel of my Lanling Xiao family!"

"This..."

"Nantian! If you have concerns because of me, it's easy to deal with!" It was Xiao Qingxia who suddenly drew out a flying sword and put it on his neck. The sword light flickered, and a blood mark appeared on Xiao Qingxia's neck. As Xiao Bailu exclaimed, Xiao Mian shouted to stop her: "Aunt! If you have something to say, just talk it out! Why do you have to do this?"

"If you think I am an obstacle to your becoming the head of the Xiao family, I, Xiao Qingxia, will be covered in blood!"

"..."

"Brother! Just agree! Aunt is our only relative! After my parents passed away, Aunt treated me and my second brother as her own. In order to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Xiao family, she, a woman, gritted her teeth and insisted. Now, do you really want to force her to death?"

"......, OK!" Xiao Mian nodded and finally agreed: "I can be the head of the Xiao family, but from now on, you all have to listen to me!"

"Of course!"

Spitting out a breath of turbid air, Xiao Qingxia put away the flying sword.

Coming to Xiao Mian's side, Xiao Qingxia took out a strange-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Xiao Mian.

"This is the token of the head of my Xiao family passed down from generation to generation-the Eight-Leaf Jade Order! The one who holds this Eight-Leaf Jade Order is the head of the Xiao family! Nantian, you take care of yourself!"

"Yes!"

Taking the Eight-Leaf Jade Order, Xiao Mian's expression moved slightly.

This Eight-Leaf Jade Order alone is definitely a treasure.

It was only at Xiao Qingxia's suggestion that Xiao Mian opened the Eight-Leaf Jade Order. Seeing the empty space inside, Xiao Mian couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"What... what does this mean?"

"... this is the current situation of my Xiao family!"

The Eight-Leaf Jade Order was empty. The Xiao family had nothing!

"Ahem! Hehe... ha!" The sudden laughter resounded throughout the attic. It was the ancestor of the Xiao family, who laughed like crazy: "What if I have nothing? When my ancestor of the Xiao family first arrived in Tiandu City, didn't he only have an Eight-Leaf Jade Order? Nantian! Are you determined to make my Lanling Xiao family regain its glory in your hands?"

"... Nantian, I will live up to the ancestor's expectations!"

"Good! Good! Good... haha... uh!"

The unbridled laughter stopped abruptly.

While Xiao Mian was stunned, Xiao Qingxia had already cried like a tearful man.

The ancestor of the Xiao family - fell!

Seeing the body on the big bed, which was already riddled with holes, turned into a pool of pus in an instant, Xiao Mian frowned and sighed.

A generation of Yuanying ancestors died so miserably!

Fortunately, cultivators do not value secular etiquette, so there is no need to do those fancy things, not to mention that the ancestor of the Xiao family died without a complete body, and the Xiao family has nothing, so it is impossible to do anything.

Out of courtesy, Xiao Mian and the other two bowed to the big bed, and even Xiao Nanming, who was unconscious, pretended to do it with the help of Xiao Bailu.

After walking out of the attic, Xiao Mian suddenly waved his hand,

and burned the entire attic to ashes with a fire!

Xiao Bailu wanted to exclaim, but was stopped by Xiao Qingxia with a look.

After that, in Lanling Hall, Xiao Mian sat on the main seat in the hall.

"The ancestor has passed away, and our Xiao family is penniless. I just took over such a mess, and I'm not used to it! Aunt! What do you think we should do?"

"The ancestor's death is beyond repair; the Xiao family's poverty is too severe to be reversed. The most urgent thing is, Nantian, can you save Nanming first?"

"Aunt is right! But how could Nanming..."

"It's a long story!"

At that moment, Xiao Qingxia briefly told the story of Xiao Nanming.

In short--trapped by love!

The Xiao family was once glorious in Tiandu City. Although it was not a wealthy family, it was also well-known in Yinhu City, where the Xiao family belonged.

The Xiao family is located in Yinhu City, one of the twelve cities in Tiandu!

But things will turn around when they reach their extremes, and the moon will wax and wane. Even the legendary nine holy places often have changes, let alone a small Xiao family?

I don’t know when the Xiao family started to decline…

Speaking of Xiao Nanming, he and Chen Yuling, the daughter of the Chen family who also belonged to Yinhu City, were childhood sweethearts, in love, and even made a private vow.

But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

Because of the decline of the Xiao family, the Chen family regretted the engagement!

Xiao Nanming was hot-blooded and naturally angry. After a while, he was beaten up by Cai Luojing and his gang.

“Comatose for more than half a month? This kid can really sleep!” As he said this, Xiao Mian had already come to Xiao Nanming and put his hand on Xiao Nanming’s wrist.

Soon, Xiao Mian’s expression became strange.

It’s not that Xiao Mian couldn’t find the reason for Xiao Nanming’s sleepiness, but almost at that moment, Xiao Mian found the problem!

There were seven more divine mind swords in Xiao Nanming’s mind.

Seven divine heart swords, in a ring shape, trapped Xiao Nanming's three souls and seven spirits, making it impossible for him to escape.

With his soul trapped, Xiao Nanming was naturally unconscious...

However, Xiao Mian was familiar with the techniques of these seven divine heart swords.

Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword - Seven Emotions Heart Demon Lock!

Could it be the Demon Seal? No!

Although the Demon Seal has already comprehended the mysteries of the Emotion Demon Dao, with the Demon Seal's mentality, he will definitely not launch a sneak attack on Xiao Nanming, a mid-level Jindan cultivator.

Perhaps, it is someone else from the Seven Emotions Demon Palace?

The only people who traveled around the world in the Seven Emotions Demon Palace were Jiang Ruowang and Hua Mancheng. Apart from them, I'm afraid no one else could comprehend the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword!

Who could it be? Humph! Interesting...

"Strange! Nanming's body is not abnormal, it seems that his soul has been sealed by someone!"

"Is there really something wrong with the soul? The ancestor said so that day! It's a pity that the ancestor was exhausted at that time and had no power to save him! Alas! Nantian, you have already condensed your consciousness, but you can't wake up Nanming? If you can wake him up, it will be a great fighting force. At the very least, we won't be tied up when we retreat..."

"Difficult! This method of sealing the soul is extremely exquisite. It seems to be the unique method of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace in Qin County. Think about the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, which uses emotions to enter the devil's way. In the subtle details, it has amazing means. If I force it to break, I am afraid it will hurt Nanming's mind!"

"This... What should I do?"

"It doesn't matter! Cai Luojing returned in defeat outside the gate of Xiao Mansion last time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely come again!"

As he said this, Xiao Mian's face was full of confidence.

If Xiao Mian hadn't condensed his consciousness, it might be a bit risky to dissolve the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Lock in Xiao Nanming's mind.

But now, it's easy for Xiao Mian.

Since Xiao Nanming is already unconscious, let him remain unconscious for the time being!

In case this guy suddenly wakes up and causes trouble.

Moreover, once Xiao Mian removes the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Lock, the person who plotted against Xiao Nanming - no matter who he is, will definitely feel it!

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xiao Mian decided to let the fishing line out a little longer to see which fisherman is pulling the rope at the other end!
