Chapter 244: Dragon Mountain

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard Su Lin. If what Su Lin said was really true, then there might still have a chance for him to know about the origin of the Holy Beast Continent.

"It might be possible!" AT this time, Su Xue Er's father, Su Dingfang nodded his head and continue to say, "Your mother was very mysterious. She was also very powerful, powerful to the extent where even our ancestor's master was unable to see through her strength. We also don't know anything about her origin."

"Since the letter said that only the direct descendant of the Xiao Family can open the black box, it means that the person who wrote this letter and left behind the black box definitely has something to do with the Xiao Family. maybe, that person himself was someone from the Xiao Family!"

"Your mother always went outside to search for something. There was a time when I asked her about the thing she was searching for. She did not answer me, she only said that the thing she was searching for has something to do with her family."

"Now, if we compare the letter and what she told me, there is a large possibility that your mother was searching for this black box. After not finding it, she returned to her family, leaving behind only a letter!"

The atmosphere of the hall suddenly changed and became serious. None of them had ever thought that their patriarch's wife might have something to do with the black box.

Su Dingfang calmed his emotion and said, "If Mei'er was really searching for the black box, then it might mean that she is the direct descendant of the Xiao Family. And if she really is the direct descendant of the Xiao Family, then it means, Lin'er and Xue Er can also be considered as the direct descendant of the Xiao Family."

"Xue Er, you try to open that black box!" Su Dingfang asked Su Xue Er to open the black box.

Su Xue Er nodded her head, took a long breath, patted her chest lightly to calm down her emotion, and started to inspect the black box once again, searching for a way to open it.

"Drop your blood on the black box and see if it opens or not!" said Ye Xiao after thinking of something.

He already has the memories of three Ancient Gods and knew many that ordinary people don't. Although he doesn't know about the method to open the black box, he assumed that since the letter said only a direct descendant of the Xiao Family can open this box, then the only way to recognize if a person is a direct descendant or not is their blood.

Only through one's blood can one be recognized as the direct descendant of the main-line or branch-line family member.

Su Xue Er nodded her head and dropped a few drops of her blood. The moment her blood drip on the black box, it was immediately absorbed and disappeared from the surface of the black box. Then the black box suddenly started to shine with blinding light, forcing everyone in the hall including Ye Xiao to close their eyes.

After a few moments of time, everyone again opened their eyes and saw a long straight line dividing the black box into two parts.

Su Xue Er picked up the upper part of the black box and placed it to the side, then looked at the lower part of the black box.

There were four keys of different colours inside the black box and other than these keys, there was a map.

Seeing them Su Xue Er took a long breath. The black box was opened, which means her mother was really a member of the Xiao Family. Furthermore, she was actually a direct descendant of the Xiao family.

Ye Xiao was staring at the four keys continuously. He could not understand why there were four keys inside the black box and how can these four keys be related to the origin of the Holy Beast Continent.

Although he could not understand that, he knew one thing. Xiao Family was definitely related to the origin of the Holy Beast Continent. If he wanted to know about this world's origin, he will definitely encounter Xiao Family.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Su Xue Er who picked up the map and unfolded it. On the map, there was a location marked with red. This map was the map of the entire Holy Beast Continent and there was only one location marked on the map with red.

It means that the person who left behind the black box wants the descendant of the Xiao Family to go to that location with the four keys.

Su Xue Er passed everything to her father who took a deep breath and after looking at it for dozens of breaths of time, he returned it to Su Xue Er and said, "Xue Er, there are still eighteen days left before the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect will come here to destroy our family. The location pointed on the map is the location of Dragon Mountain that exists at the exact center of the four empires."

"You will go there and try to see if you can obtain something that can help us protect our family."

After saying this, he looked at Ye Xiao, stood up from his seat, cupped his hands, and said, "Young master Ye, can you please go with Xue Er to the Dragon Mountain. You are a Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist and you are stronger than anyone else in the Su Family. if you were to go there with Xue Er, you will definitely be able to protect her much better than anyone else in our family."

Ye Xiao of course wanted to go. This way, not only can he learn more about this world, he might find a way to return to the Azure Sky Continent.

Although he wanted to go there badly, he did not let his emotion come out on his face. He silently nodded and acted as if he was thinking about something then said in a deep voice, "Ok, I will go with miss Xue Er to that Dragon Mountain. But before that, I have a question. If you can answer it, I promise I will not only go to the Dragon Mountain with miss Su to protect her, I will also help her search for the treasures there."

When Ye Xiao said that, everyone in the Su Family became excited. This time, before Su Dingfang could say anything, the ancestor of the Su Family who was silent for the entire time said, "Young master Ye, please ask your question. If we know the answer, we will definitely answer."

"You certainly know the answer!" Ye Xiao nodded his head with a smile on his face. Then he asked, "Why are you telling me to go with miss Su to the Dragon Mountain? Before this, you also send me to the top floor of the tower to search for the treasure there. Are you not afraid that I will try to take all the treasures for myself?"

"There is no one in the entire Su Family who can fight with me. If I want, I can kill everyone in the Su Family, take the treasures and go to a different empire to live my life. Are you really not afraid of me taking advantage of you all?"

When Ye Xiao asked this question, the ancestor of the Su Family said after a while, "Young master ye, it is not like we trusted you and that's why we asked you to go to the top floor of the tower to help Xue Er search for the treasure. It is because we had no choice. No one from my Su Family was able to search for the treasure there."

"You promised to stay here and refine pills for my Su Family for one month to repay Xue Er's kindness. Seeing this, we gave it a try and asked you to go with Xue Er to search for the treasure on the top floor of the tower. As for the result, it is in front of us."

"Not only you did not take any cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, weapons, or pills, you also helped us to open the black box."

"I will not say that we completely trust you now, but we once again have no choice. The Dragon Mountain is a very dangerous place and no one below the Martial Emperor Realm can think of entering the Dragon Mountain. You are a Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist so you can definitely be able to protect Xue Er."

After hearing the explanation of the Su family's ancestor, Ye Xiao nodded his head as he now understood the reason why Su Family wanted him to accompany Su Xue Er. Finally he agreed to go to the Dragon Mountain with Su Xue Er.
