Chapter 1296 Acquiring the First Ancient Seal

'The Xi Family! Who could've foreseen that an individual from that esteemed lineage would descend to this realm?' Liang Xiaosheng cried inwardly.

The Xi Family resided exclusively in the Supreme Heaven, and they occupied a preeminent position among the dragon race. Though they didn't have a direct role in overseeing the Four Ancient Seals, one of the clans under their authority held that responsibility.

'If the Xi Family was forced to act, this issue with the traitor must be of significant magnitude.' Liang Xiaosheng sighed inwardly before speaking, "I understand. If it's the Xi Family, I will do everything in my power to assist you."

He then retrieved his spatial ring and took out a metal box from within.

The metal box looked ordinary at a glance, but it had several layers of powerful formations protecting it. 'Level 6— No! It's at least a level 7 formation!'

Yuan quickly understood that the formation was far more advanced than he had initially thought. It was not just a level 6 formation; it was at least level 7, if not higher. This realization meant that even if he had managed to take the metal box by force, he wouldn't have been able to open it until he became a level 7 Array Master or higher.

Yuan looked at Liang Xiaosheng and wondered if he was a level 7 Array Master.

However, to Yuan's surprise, Liang Xiaosheng took a different approach to unlocking the formation. Instead of using conventional methods, Liang Xiaosheng dripped several drops of his own blood onto the metal box. The metal box quickly absorbed his blood, causing the protective formation to unlock itself.

Once all of the formations vanished, the metal box unfolded itself, revealing what appeared to be a metal piece of a puzzle inside.

"This is actually my first time seeing the Ancient Seal. What a unique appearance it has." Yuan muttered.

"It is only a piece of the full key, after all." Liang Xiaosheng did not find anything weird with Yuan's comment since the Ancient Seals rarely leave their holders' grasp.

"Um… Your Majesty, what is the Xi Family's plan regarding the traitor?" Liang Xiaosheng suddenly asked.

"We still don't know the identity of the traitor, and for all I know, it could be you." Yuan shrugged.

"What?! No way! I swear upon my bloodline that I am not the traitor! I would never dare—not even in my dreams!" Liang Xiaosheng immediately declared.

"Unfortunately, I don't know that for sure. Therefore, the Xi Family has decided to retrieve all Ancient Seals for the time being until everything is sorted."

"Retrieving all Ancient Seals…?"

While Liang Xiaosheng understood the rationale behind the Xi Family's decision, he couldn't help but find it astonishing, as it marked the first time an event of this magnitude had occurred. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"And I'll be honest with you." Yuan added, "There's a good chance that the Xi Family will decide to change the Ancient Seal holders as well as a precaution." Liang Xiaosheng nodded, "That makes sense. I have been holding onto this Ancient Seal for over 20,000 years now. I thought I would be holding it until my last breath, but this is fine as well."

"I shall entrust it to you and the Xi Family." Liang Xiaosheng offered the Ancient Seal to Yuan without any suspicion that he was being scammed.

"Thank you." Yuan accepted the Ancient Seal and stored it inside his Dragon Spatial Ring.

"Now then, let's talk about the other matter."

"Huh? What other matter?" Liang Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
