After passing through the deep tunnel, Han Xiao followed Han Xiangtian to the entrance of the tunnel. After listening to the activity outside, Han Xiangtian led Han Xiao out of the tunnel.

When Han Xiao walked out of the tunnel, he saw the familiar room of the Phoenix Sage Palace, which was less than three meters away from the entrance, he was unable to calm down.

"Father, can you explain to me when there was this secret passage in my bedroom?" Han Xiao turned around and asked.

Thinking that there was such a secret tunnel not far from his bed and he had lived here for nearly 20 years, he actually didn't notice that Han Xiao wasn't able to remain calm at all.

Han Xiangtian saw Han Xiao's depressed look and said, "This was cultivated by your mother and I when we were still alive. But because I had too many things to do after I ascended the throne, I didn't use it many times."

"Then royal father, you should have told me earlier that I don't want anyone to come out of that secret passageway in the middle of the night while they're sleeping." Han Xiao said unhappily.

He didn't know how he felt about this secret passage, but knowing about his own bedroom had made him feel as if his privacy had been spied on.

Han Xiangtian knew that Han Xiao was not happy, so he said helplessly, "I didn't tell you because I thought I wouldn't be able to use this tunnel for the rest of my life. Plus, I'm the only one who knows this tunnel now, so you don't have to worry about anyone coming out of here in the middle of the night."

Hearing Han Xiangtian say this, although Han Xiao felt slightly better in his heart, he secretly decided that after he finished dealing with Han Zhao's matter, he would use another place as his sleeping hall.

This was because the people that served him after his accident had all been sentenced to the punishment palace for various crimes. The once lively Phoenix Sage Temple was now very lonely, but it was this way that Han Xiangtian could easily exit the palace through this passage time and time again.

After exiting the palace, Han Xiao and Han Xiangtian carefully avoided the palace guards and headed towards the ancestral hall. The road they were originally familiar with was now a little unfamiliar due to their nervousness, so Han Xiao had to carefully check if anyone was following them.

After passing through half of the Imperial Palace, Han Xiao followed Han Xiangtian to an independent palace at the back of the entire Cloud Imperial Palace. When he raised his head and saw the golden words "ancestral hall", he knew that they had arrived at their destination.

"Creak." Han Xiangtian slowly pushed open the ancestral hall's door. Although the sound of the door opening was not loud, it was very ear-piercing in this silent environment.

"Xiao'er, follow me in." With that, Han Xiangtian walked into the ancestral hall.

Han Xiao hesitated for a moment before following him in.

Upon entering the ancestral hall, Han Xiao saw that there was a jade plate placed on the table facing the entrance, each of the jade plates had a corresponding name on it. When they entered, the jade plates seemed to light up at the same time, but quickly dimmed down again.

"Xiao'er, inside is the life tablet of every Han Clan Patriarch from the beginning to the end. The reason I brought you here is so that you can officially recognize your ancestors and become a member of the Han Clan." Han Xiangtian looked at the jade plates in front of him and softly said, as if he was afraid that if he shouted too much, he would disturb them.

"Acknowledge our ancestors?" Didn't you already admit that I'm the seventh prince? Furthermore, I remember that I have long since created a nameplate and placed it in the sacrificial hall. " Han Xiao asked doubtfully.

"You do have a nameplate, but that is only something that belongs to the Yun Ming Empire and not our Han family." Han Xiangtian sighed.

"Han Family?" Hearing Han Xiangtian mention the Han Family again, Han Xiao could not help but frown. He did not understand why the Han Family and the Yun Ming Dynasty were so different.

Seeing Han Xiao's puzzled expression, Han Xiangtian sighed and slowly turned his head to look at the jade plates, "Xiao'er, the Yun Ming Empire and the Han Family are actually two different things. The Yun Ming Empire is merely the Han Family's encampment in the Kuang Xiao Continent, but it can be said to be the only power on the Kuang Xiao Continent. Regarding the glory of the Han Family, I do not know much about the past of the Han Family, nor do I know who the people on the Life Tablet were, why did they come to the Kuang Xiao Continent, and why their clan was almost annihilated. So, I can only tell you a little about what I know. "

Han Xiangtian paused for a moment before continuing, "About the Han Family, I was reading through the ancient books that my father had left behind after his death. The names of the people in that book were the last, so after seeing the ancient book, I was very curious about what exactly it meant until I remembered this ancestral hall that was always called the Forbidden Land. At that time, I brought Yan Tian here because I was curious about it, so we were very disappointed when I saw that there weren't any other people in the Forbidden Land. After that, the Han Family suffered a calamity and the ancestral hall was moved to the Yun Ming Empire because of this. The emperor of the Yun Ming Empire also became the new patriarch, but not every person with the surname Han could become a member of the Han Family, and not every Emperor of the Yun Ming Empire was the patriarch of the Han Family. At that time, we didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that since royal father didn't want us to recognize him, it wouldn't be the same if we didn't. So we wanted to leave at that time, but maybe it was because of the stimulation of my blood, when we wanted to leave, we found that we couldn't leave no matter what. Afterwards, a golden light enveloped me and brought me to a chaotic world. With that, Han Xiangtian waved his hand and a jade token covered in white light slowly fell into his hands. The words "Han Xiangtian" were written on the token with his blood.

"This is royal father's life tablet?" Han Xiao curiously asked as he received the Life Plate from Han Xiangtian.

"Yes, after that day, there were more of my Life Bestowals. But strangely, no matter how hard Yan Tian tried, he was unable to enter that chaotic world. It was as if that place only recognized him." Han Xiangtian said.

Hearing Han Xiangtian's words, Han Xiao became even more curious about the Life Plate. He flipped it over and over, but didn't find anything different, then returned it to Han Xiao and said, "Didn't you say that most of the Han Family members are gone? Why did you only acknowledge you, Royal Father, and that you are now the Han Family Patriarch?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but my Life Plate should be considered the leader of this Han clan. However, until now, I still haven't figured out what kind of existence the Han clan is." Han Xiangtian said.

"Han Family." As Han Xiao read this name, his mind thought back to the ancient texts he had read at the Abyss Academy. After thinking for a long time, he still hadn't expected that he would have to give up on the matter regarding the Han Family.

"Oh yeah, royal father, who is the first head of the Han family?" Han Xiao asked.

"The first clan leader." Han Xiangtian closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "I remember it was a person called Han Xin, and he was the only person recorded in that ancient book. But his introductions were all about some strange runes, so I'm not very clear about it."

"Han Xin, King Chu, Han Xin?" Hearing Han Xin's name, Han Xiao cried out in alarm. The stories about Han Xin also flooded his mind, "No, that's not right. In the end, the historical Han Xin was killed by the conspiracy of Queen Lu and Xiao He. It shouldn't be that Han Xin." Han Xiao calmed down and shook his head.

"Empress Lu, King Chu, Xiao He? Could it be that Xiao'er knows the origins of Han Xin? " Han Xiangtian asked.

"Father, I'm not sure right now. Can you take out that ancient book for me to take a look?" Han Xiao asked.

"Sure, but the ancient book is in my bedroom. It's not on me." Han Xiangtian said.

"Then Imperial Father, take me to look for the ancient book first. I want to know what exactly is going on with the Han family after that." Han Xiao anxiously said. Although reason told him that Han Xin could not be the Han Xin of his history, deep down, there was a trace of anticipation, hoping that the two Han Xin were the same person. That way, he would be able to find the connection between the Kuang Xiao Continent and his original world, and figure out what was going on with this mysterious Han Family.

Although he wanted to make Han Xiao recognize him as his ancestor first, Han Xiangtian temporarily gave up on this idea after seeing Han Xiao's anxious appearance. He also didn't want to miss this opportunity to figure out what exactly was happening in the Han Family.

Han Xiangtian nodded and said, "Okay, then Xiao'er, come with me first." With that, the two walked out of the ancestral hall together, quickly heading towards Han Xiangtian's bedroom.
