Chapter 3097 Statue, living creature

The third elder continued, "In the past, this was the most precious thing in our Xiao family."

"Yi'er, you also know that when a warrior awakens, he needs something to observe."

"The more powerful the observation object is, the stronger the martial soul can be awakened by the warrior."

"When our ancestors put down this statue, it was used for us descendants of the Xiao family to awaken their martial spirits."

"Yi'er, you also awakened your martial spirit by observing this monster statue."

The third elder paused and said amusedly, "But Yi'er, you may have awakened the most useless and lowest-level fire-controlling beast in the past, either because you were not enlightened or for some reason."

Xiao Yi frowned, "Did our ancestors of the Xiao family release it?"

"I remember Third Elder, didn't you say in the past that the strongest among our ancestors of the Xiao family was only a Dongxuan realm warrior."

The third elder nodded, his face full of pride.

"Back then, our ancestors of the Xiao family were in the Cave Mystic Realm, which could reach heaven and earth. They were quite famous around Poxuan City."

"The ancestor, with his strength, laid a foundation for our Xiao family in Ziyun City."

"When our ancestors were here, our Xiao family dominated Ziyun City..."

Xiao Yi waved his hands repeatedly and interrupted, "How could he find such a monster statue in the Cave Mystic Realm?"

The third elder frowned and thought for a moment, "I don't know about that."

"My grandfather, your great-grandfather, the last head of the family said when he was still alive that our ancestors had a narrow escape in order to get this monster statue."

"So when our ancestor founded the Xiao family in Ziyun City and laid the foundation for the Xiao family, he died of serious injuries within a few years."

"But that's all happened over several generations of ancestors."

The more Xiao Yi listened, the more confused he became, and the more he frowned.

In the Cave Mystic Realm, let alone a narrow escape from death, even if you risk your life, you can't even think of getting a statue of such a powerful monster.

Judging from his perception just now, the demonic aura of this demon beast statue is much stronger than that of the Liuheng Demon Lord. This is why the demonic aura soars into the sky and lingers throughout the Eastern Continent.

But these evil spirits are extremely secretive.

Those who have not reached the level cannot sense it at all.

Even if it reaches the level, this monster statue will not emit monster energy at all if there are no abnormal phenomena.

He, Xiao Yi, came back and stayed at the Xiao family for so long, but he still couldn't find it.

If he guessed correctly, it must be today that the children of the Xiao family need to observe and awaken their martial souls. The martial souls are transformed from the martial arts of heaven and earth, and then they awaken the statue and make it move.

Because of this, the demonic energy exploded, making him feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy even in the Wilderness Kingdom.

"Is there anything else unusual?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Abnormal?" The third elder thought again. This time, after thinking for a long time, he slapped his forehead.

"Yes, probably more than thirty years ago. Even I almost forgot about it."

"At that time, my mother had just given birth to you, my son, and she was extremely weak."

"Later, less than half a month later, my mother went to the back of our Xiao family. When she came out, she was already very angry."

"At that time, the head of the family, your father, was furious."

"I don't know what the reason is. The head of the family doesn't say it, and my mother doesn't say it either. I just know that my mother was holding you tightly in her arms at that time, smiling weakly."

The third elder paused, "Later, the eldest elder asked her what she was doing deep inside the Xiao family."

"Your mother said she polished the statue."

"At that time, the great elder and I were shocked. We went to take a look, and sure enough, the statue had changed a little. There was a spike on the head, and the face had also changed a little."

"If my mother hadn't been extremely weak at that time, the elder would have had to fight her."

"That monster statue is left by our ancestors and is the most precious thing in our family. How can we desecrate the carvings and paintings?"

"Of course, the head of the family later protected her, and my mother was really young at the time, but she was only in her early twenties, so the elders of the clan took it for granted that she had a wild mind."

"In addition, after giving birth to you, you are a descendant of the Xiao family. Everyone in the Xiao family is happy, so they won't argue with my mother, and the matter will be settled."

Xiao Yi frowned, "In other words, the appearance of the statue has changed."

The third elder nodded, "Just a little."

"Alas." The third elder sighed heavily, "Not long after that, my mother suddenly left the Xiao family and disappeared."

"The master of the family raised you until you were a child, and then entrusted you Yi'er to me. After that, he went to look for my mother, but she was nowhere to be found."

"Yier, you..."

The third elder spoke earnestly and sincerely.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi had no intention of listening anymore and had already turned around to leave.

The third elder's cultivation and eyesight are limited after all, so asking about these origins seems to be in vain.

Xiao Yi had already stepped out of the master's study.

Outside the study, Yiyi was waiting and could hear clearly what was said in the study.

"Master." Yiyi said in a deep voice, "Yiyi remembered something."

"Master told me that when he first came to the Eastern Territory, he felt an astonishing demonic aura. The demonic aura soared into the sky and filled the Eastern Region continent."

"And when she came following the evil spirit, she stopped midway when she saw me."

"After that, Master saved the Xiao family and elders and took me to look for you."

"Young Master was unconscious dozens of miles away at that time. Master checked your body and found nothing abnormal."

"After Master confirmed that you, Master, are not in danger, that demonic aura suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"Master said that the demonic energy came from farther away, but at that time, he was in a hurry to take me away, so he didn't delve into it further."

Xiao Yi nodded solemnly, "It seems that the evil spirit back then came from the statue deep in the Xiao family."

Xiao Yi turned around.

"Master." Yiyi called worriedly from the side.

Xiao Yi said softly, "I'll take a trip."

"Yiyi will accompany the young master." Yiyi said seriously.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You stay here. If there is any movement, just use space means to move the Xiao family members away."

Yiyi gritted her teeth, but still nodded.

Xiao Yi had already walked away, his eyes turned cold, "I'll see who you are."

…

Deep inside the Xiao family.

With that statue as the center and a few hundred meters away, arrays of formation restrictions were firmly blocking it.

Xiao Yi stepped into the restricted area with a bit of solemnity.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards the statue, nothing unusual.

That statue seemed to have remained motionless for thousands of years.

Xiao Yi's perception has always covered the surroundings, but there is nothing unusual in his perception.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and stopped ten steps away from the statue. His eyes changed instantly.

The Eye of Taiyin and Sun condensed instantly.

These eyes can penetrate the most rational principles of heaven and earth and see through the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Everything in the world will be invisible under the gaze of these eyes.

However, after his eyes focused for a moment, Xiao Yi's expression suddenly changed.

"You're not a statue, you're a living thing... Oops..." Xiao Yi suddenly looked horrified.

Before he could react, the frozen statue came to life in an instant. It was still a statue, but it was actually an extremely ferocious and ferocious monster.

"Not good." Xiao Yi reacted very quickly and struck out with a palm.

When the palm comes out, the eight flames in the palm instantly condense.

This ferocious beast was so fast that even Xiao Yi didn't dare to trust him in the slightest.

But…bang…

It wasn't a violent explosion, just eight soft blasts in succession.

The flames in Xiao Yi's palm collided with the ferocious monster's fist for a moment, and then collapsed.

Except for a trace of dragon flame that had an effect, the other seven powerful flames in the world all dissipated without even having half of their effect.

Stare…glare…glare…
