One of the men in black heard this and slowly took off his cloak.

A young and fair face appeared in front of everyone.

A voice without any emotion came out from the boy's mouth.

"Soul Palace, Xiao Ning!"

"what!!!"

Everyone was shocked beyond words.

"Ning'er, where have you been for the past six months? Your sister Xiao Yu and I miss you so much."

The Great Elder's lips trembled. Xiao Ning was his grandson. There had been no news of Xiao Ning since he went out alone to gain experience three years ago. He thought that Xiao Ning had met with an accident, but he did not expect that he would come back today.

The man in black, Xiao Ning, ignored the reactions of the Xiao family and said, "Grandpa, this is the last time I will call you grandpa. I came back this time to tell you that I will leave the Xiao family from today on and will no longer have any connection with the Xiao family in Wutan City."

"Ning'er, what did you go through? Did the person next to you coerce you?"

The Great Elder's powerful aura surged, and he couldn't help but attack that person.

Seeing this, Xiao Ning took a step forward and stood between the two of them: "No one forced me, this is my own choice. The world outside is very broad, and a man should be free. The Soul Palace can give me the power of freedom. From now on, there will no longer be Xiao Ning of the Xiao family, only Xiao Ning of the Soul Palace."

Everyone was still confused and didn't understand what was going on, except Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan certainly understood what the Soul Palace represented. It was an existence as powerful as the force behind Xun'er.

Xiao Zhan understood that he had to stabilize the Great Elder first. Once the Great Elder took action against that person, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Ning bowed to everyone again: "I came back this time to help the Xiao family eliminate the hostile forces, as a way to repay the years of raising me. But I didn't expect that my cousin is so capable. In this case, it saves me the trouble."

After saying that, Xiao Ning turned around and disappeared into the darkness with the man in black. Only the faint voice could be heard:

"Xiao Ning, we're leaving now. From now on, we'll never meet again."

Just now, Xiao Zhan suppressed the Great Elder tightly, otherwise the Great Elder would definitely take action.

Xiao Zhan: "Great Elder, will you blame me?"

"I understand that the result of my action just now was nothing but self-humiliation."

The Great Elder turned around and walked away slowly, as if he had really turned into an ordinary old man.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhan, because Xiao Zhan's actions just now clearly showed that he knew what kind of existence the Soul Palace was. However, Xiao Zhan ignored everyone's inquiring gazes, shook his head and dismissed everyone. Since the Great Elder had encountered such a change, there was no need to continue the meeting.

Late at night, in Xiao Yan's bedroom, Xiao Wei briefly told Xiao Yan about the Soul Palace. Xiao Yan couldn't help but look worried and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"No, I didn't say it before because it's not something that can be changed by knowing it in advance. The power of the Soul Palace is too huge, unless Xun'er's family intervenes, but this is impossible. Xun'er can't have such a say, and they won't offend the Soul Palace because of a declining family."

Xiao Yan's eyes became firm, and he said: "Then work hard, redouble your efforts, collect the strange fire, and flatten the Soul Palace."

Xiao Wei quickly made a gesture to silence her: "Shh...be careful not to be heard, maybe Xiao Ning and the others haven't left yet."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Wei said again: "The trajectory of fate has already changed drastically. What I know may not be useful anymore, but the Soul Palace must be destroyed for sure. Xiao Ning joining the Soul Palace may not be a bad thing. At least he still remembers the Xiao family."

Yes, it is useless to think about these things now. I am about to go to Canaan College, and before I leave, I still have important things to do.

At this moment, the window was pushed open silently.

The moonlight entered the house, bringing the two people back to their senses.

Xiao Yan said without even turning his head: "Xun'er, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

No one responded, but Xiao Wei in front of him widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

Xiao Yan was shocked and turned back suddenly.

A masked man was sitting in the seat reserved for Xun'er.

The two were surprised, and Xiao Yan asked first:

"Who is coming?"

The man in black took off his mask.

"Soul Palace, Xiao Ning."

However, this time the answer was emotional. The two heard helplessness, sadness, excitement and excitement in these four words.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth bitterly: "Cousin."

"Cousin."

"Long time no see, how are you?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

"Cousin, are you really being coerced as the Great Elder guessed? And what about the person next to you?"

"I...I missed you guys so much."

Even though he had thousands of words to say, Xiao Ning only said this one sentence.

The two brothers hugged each other. They had a good relationship since childhood. Of course, it might also be related to the fact that Xiao Ning left home three years ago. Three years ago, Xiao Yan had a good relationship with all the children of the same clan.

"Who was the person next to you just now?"

"Don't ask so many questions. I don't have much time. Don't ask about that person's identity. Just think of him as my master."

Xiao Ning paused and continued, "We have been in a city a hundred miles east of the Tagor Desert for these years, because there is a secret place hidden in a mountain range nearby, the Fire Emperor Cave Mansion."

"Three years ago, I was arrogant and disobedient and secretly ran away to gain experience. I met my master there. If I had known about this, I would have been doomed. However, due to some reasons, my master not only did not kill me, but also accepted me as his last disciple."

"But the price is that you can't leave his side, because the Fire Emperor Cave Mansion is of great importance. Until the day before yesterday, my master spent five years and finally broke the entrance formation and took away the inheritance inside."

"I have seen too many incredible things. The world outside is so vast, I must make a name for myself, otherwise I will not be satisfied. But I know something about the Soul Palace, so I must leave the Xiao family before I can officially join the Soul Palace."

Xiao Yan interrupted him: "Will you come back?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ning said solemnly, "Of course. I am a member of the Xiao family in life and a dead member of the Xiao family in death. The Xiao family will cover all the expenses for the banquet. I, Xiao Ning, will remember these oaths of the Xiao family members in my heart and will never dare to forget them."

"Do you know how uncomfortable your grandfather was to hear what you said today?"

"What can I do? The world is about to change drastically. Without strength, everything I do will be wrong. I want to join the Soul Palace, so this is the only way. Besides, my master is a very good person."

"Then where are you going next?"

"I don't know. I only know that my master was sent out by the Soul Palace to carry out a mission, but I don't know what the specific mission is. But one thing is certain, that is, we are about to leave here and go to the Izumo Empire."
