Chapter 7 Xiao Feng's Advice
"The Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley?
He's the founder of Burning Flame Valley, a powerful figure with the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng at its peak, and Xiao Xuan's close friend, who co-created the powerful 'Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire' with him?
But why haven't I heard of him participating in this great battle?"
Thinking of this, his expression became even more strange.
What kind of people has his clan leader befriended?
"They either kick someone when they're down, or they refuse to help someone in distress and betray their promises.
It seems that although Xiao Xuan is powerful, his ability to judge people still needs improvement!"
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Seeing that Xiao Xuan had finished speaking, he began to express his own opinion.
No matter what, he was determined to make Xiao Xuan change, and he wanted to change the future!
"Clan leader, what you've said does seem reliable.
In that case, even if my Xiao clan declines, we will never face extinction." Xiao Xuan thought Xiao Feng was flattering him, but unexpectedly, he suddenly changed the subject.
"But clan leader, have you considered what would happen if they didn't lend a hand?
What would become of my Xiao clan? What if they not only don't help but also kick us when we're down?"
"That's impossible! Putting everything else aside, Gu Yuan is my good friend, and the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley is my closest friend.
How could they not lend a helping hand? Moreover, both of them are powerful experts at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.
How could they do something as despicable as kicking someone when they're down?" Xiao Xuan was very skeptical.
Xiao Feng wasn't surprised at all. After all, how could Xiao Xuan lose faith in his best friend just because of a few words from him? That was simply unrealistic, and if that were the case, he really needed to think it over carefully.
"Clan leader, you consider them close friends, but whether they feel the same way is another matter.
Moreover, wealth can be a powerful motivator; in the face of absolute self-interest, any relationship is useless. Even brothers keep clear accounts, and there are instances of fathers and sons fighting over treasure. Y
ou are merely friends, so how can you be so certain?"
"If something really happens, all the cultivation techniques, fighting skills, and rare treasures of my Xiao clan are enough to make anyone envious.
And to put it bluntly, if that day really comes, the clan leader will probably be gone, and my Xiao clan will inevitably decline. So what if they take action?
Who will know?
And even if someone knows, who would dare to talk about them?"
Xiao Feng's words struck Xiao Xuan's heart like a hammer blow.
His face was ashen, and despite his verbal denials, hesitation had crept in.
Clearly, he had begun to believe most of Xiao Feng's words. It wasn't that he distrusted his closest friend, but rather that he knew all too well the immense wealth possessed by the Xiao clan.
He knew no one could refuse it! No one could resist such temptation!
Moreover, even if they don't make a move, other ancient races will. If the two are restrained at that time, the Xiao Clan may really be in danger.
Xiao Feng didn't care about Xiao Xuan's feelings.
The change in his expression showed that he was beginning to waver, which was a very good result. So he had to strike while the iron was hot and try to change his mind in one fell swoop, so as to secure a better future for himself and the Xiao clan!
"Besides, are those powerful individuals and forces really that reliable?
There's a saying that goes, 'When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.
' If the Xiao clan really declines, it would be good enough if they didn't kick them when they're down. Is it possible to expect them to lend a helping hand and oppose other ancient races?"
"What benefit would they gain from doing this?
Not only would they gain nothing, but they would also offend several other ancient races, which would have a significant impact on them.
Why should my Xiao clan allow them to do such a thing? Based on your friendship? Based on their promise? Do you think that's possible?"
"As for those families and forces, the reason they are so friendly and loyal now is because of the Xiao clan's strength.
They dare not oppose, or even want to oppose, because that would bring them greater benefits.
If one day overthrowing the Xiao clan could bring them even greater benefits, and some have even promised them more advantages if they were to overthrow the Xiao clan, and the Xiao clan is currently in a precarious situation, do you think they wouldn't take action?"
As Xiao Feng continued to deliver his hurtful words, Xiao Xuan's expression turned extremely ugly.
Whether he had thought of these things before but was deceiving himself or hadn't thought of them at all, now that Xiao Feng had clearly stated the implications, it was no wonder that his expression turned ugly.
"What's the use of saying all this now? There's no need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up.
Even if there are many difficulties ahead, even if these so-called allies may betray me at any time, this matter will never change! What about those elders who left?
Whether they are good or bad, they are still members of the Xiao Clan, and the bloodline of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di remains in their veins. As long as they are there, the bloodline of the Xiao Clan will not be cut off!"
"The Xiao clan cannot delay any longer!"
At this moment, Xiao Feng felt even more that Xiao Xuan before him was like a cloud of mist, impossible to see through.
The departure of the Xiao clan elders earlier and the words he was saying now both seemed a bit off. "Perhaps he had already foreseen all of this?
Indeed, to become the patriarch of the Xiao clan and one of the strongest people on the continent, one is no ordinary person. Both his courage and foresight far surpass those of ordinary people.
But to gamble with the fate of all the members of the Xiao clan is a bit too cruel and too reckless."
"Chief, you jest. Xiao Feng knows the chief's unwavering resolve, so this is not an attempt to persuade the chief to give up."
"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Xuan found it increasingly interesting. Xiao Feng's words earlier seemed to be trying to persuade him, yet they weren't.
For a moment, he felt he couldn't quite understand this genius of the Xiao clan.
Despite not being able to see through him, he still trusted Xiao Feng very much.
As a fellow member of the Xiao clan, and willing to die for the Xiao clan, and with exceptional talent, he believed that the more of such a junior, the better.
"Clan Chief, what Xiao Feng wants to advise is for you to make more preparations." "What preparations?"
Xiao Feng pursed his lips and replied, "Preparations for the decline of the Xiao Clan if we fail to break through to Dou Di!"
"You really don't trust me? You really don't believe we can succeed?"
"No, not at all. On the contrary, I hope we can succeed even more. In this way, although my Xiao clan will lose some members, we will gain prosperity for the next ten thousand years.
The Dou Di bloodline that we lost before will be replenished and even become more concentrated."
