Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 145 Flame Thorn
The cloaked woman knew Xiao Yan's identity and frowned slightly.

This time she came privately from the Holy City of Gama to the remote Tagore Desert, just to quietly investigate the lawbreakers who secretly violated the Gama royal ban and were still engaged in the slave trade business.

The Gama royal family has heard about this for a long time, but every time they want to investigate in depth, they are blocked by an unshakable resistance, causing the Gama royal family to be frustrated again and again.

And the unshakable resistance is the Yunlan Sect!
Although the Jia Ma royal family currently has no definite evidence, all signs indicate that the Yunlan Sect is the umbrella for these slave businesses!

Therefore, in the heart of the cloaked woman, Nalan Yanran, the young master of the Yunlan Sect, cannot be trusted, nor can the Nalan family behind her, and the Xiao family, who is engaged to the Nalan family, is also untrustworthy.

Before coming, the cloaked woman had not originally planned to go to the Motie Mercenary Group, because the Motie Mercenary Group was the mercenary group she suspected was established by the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the head of the Xiao family.

But after arriving here, the woman in the cloak learned through collecting intelligence that Xiao Ling had been risking his life in the past six months to lead the Motie mercenary group to crack down on the slave business, and overcame many difficulties to establish a trading chain with the snake people. An attitude that allows the snake people and humans to coexist peacefully.

This made the cloaked woman feel a little unsure.

If the Xiao family is really in cahoots with the Yunlan Sect behind the slave merchants, then there is absolutely no need for Xiao Ling and Xiao Li to do this. Even just pretending is too much.

The only explanation is that they sincerely expect this.

But in the cloaked woman's mind, facts without evidence are just guesses.

Even if there was only this explanation, the cloaked woman could not completely believe the Motie Mercenary Group.

With all the hesitation, the cloaked woman finally decided to go to the Motie Mercenary Group and hire them to take her to the Snake Tribe territory.

First, the main purpose of the cloaked woman's visit this time is to use her identity to talk to the snake people and try to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties over the years.

Secondly, I also wanted to try to get to know the people of the Motie Mercenary Group deeply through the hiring process, and discern with my own eyes whether Xiao Liao and Xiao Li were with the Yunlan Sect.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Li would let her younger brother Xiao Yan follow her in the end.

But from what the cloaked woman has seen so far, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Yan, including Qing Lin who is following him.

Especially just now, if Xiao Yan really didn't care about the relationship between the snake people and humans, then when facing that team of snake people, he could kill them with justifiable reasons.

After all, the cloaked woman also saw the attitude of that team of snake people towards him. Even if Xiao Yan killed them, it could be explained as self-defense.

Instead of just knocking them unconscious like now, he even worried that they would be attacked by monsters and dragged them along the road.

At least Xiao Yan's actions proved that he did not want to destroy the already unstable relationship between humans and snake people because of his actions.

This made the cloaked woman less wary of Xiao Yan than she was at first.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yan's strength was extremely inconsistent with his level. He really wanted to do something to himself. His Seven Star Fighting Master's strength seemed not to be good enough. He killed and buried him on the spot and no one knew about it.

Xiao Yan dragged the group of snake people, walked with Qinglin and the cloaked woman until dusk, and gradually approached the territory of the snake people according to the instructions on the map.

"Let's rest here today."

Looking at the edge of the desert lens, Xiao Yan said this. However, before the cloaked woman and Qinglin could respond, an indescribable pressure suddenly appeared from above the three of them.

What came immediately was a powerful and deeply hostile voice.

"Who dares to break into the sanctuary of our Snake Tribe?!"

! ! !Xiao Yan and the others suddenly raised their heads and saw a male snake-man floating in the air. His fiery red body seemed to be wrapped in scorching flames, and the illusory wings of fighting spirit behind him silently indicated his level.

Fighting spirit turns into wings!Fighting King! ! !
The cloaked woman also immediately identified the identity of the male snake man above from the information she had read before.

One of the eight major tribal leaders of the Snake Tribe, the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe, Flame Thorn!

Looking at the Flame Thorn above, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, with no fear in his eyes. He released the rope he was holding, stepped forward and saluted the Flame Thorn with his hands clasped in fists.

"Senior, I am Xiao Yan, who belongs to the Motie Mercenary Group."

"Xiao Yan?" Yan Ci frowned slightly when he heard Xiao Yan introduce himself to his family, "What is the relationship between Xiao Ling and you?"

"Xiao Ling is the eldest sister of this junior. This junior is here just to confirm the eldest sister's safety."

Yan Ci lowered his head, looked at the group of snake people behind Xiao Yan who were tightly tied with ropes, and asked coldly.

"Did you do those snake people?"

"Senior, please rest assured that these snake people are not in danger. They were just knocked unconscious by the junior. The junior is only worried about being attacked by the monsters in the desert with them. There is no other meaning."

Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Yan Ci was silent for a moment, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the distance. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Xiao Yan. His tall figure exuded a burning aura, and he lowered his head and stared at the smaller figure in comparison. Xiao Yan.

"Master Xiao Yan!"

Seeing this, Qing Lin reacted immediately. He was about to rush forward when he was stopped by Xiao Yan's raised hand. He still raised his head and stared at the thorn. Although the expression on his face was serious, there was no fear. .

But secretly, Xiao Yan's whole body had quietly tensed up, ready to deal with possible attacks from the Flame Thorn at any time.

Looking at Xiao Yan's fearless eyes, Yan Ci frowned slightly and spoke slowly with a hot breath in his mouth.

"The look in your eyes is very similar to that of your sister." Yan Ci stared at Xiao Yan and said slowly: "This is the look that only people with strong beliefs can have."

"Thank you for the compliment from senior."

Xiao Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded calmly. Such an indifferent attitude made Yan Ci couldn't help laughing.

"You and your sister are really the same kind of people. Although their strength is far different from ours, they don't have the slightest fear on their faces when facing tribal leaders like us, let alone the hatred in the eyes of other humans. Maybe it's because In this way, we will try to believe her."

Yan Ci raised his hand and hooked it. The ropes that Xiao Yan had just put down to bind the group of snake people were held in his hands. He then took out a fiery red token from his waist and threw it to Xiao Yan in front of him.

"Take this token and continue walking forward. If you encounter a snake tribe blocking the way, just show this token to them and they will let you go forward. At the end, you will find the Queen. Territory, your sister Xiao Ling is also there."

Xiao Yan looked at the token in his hand and was stunned for a long time. Then he realized what he was doing and thanked Yan Ci with a fist in his hand.

"Thank you, senior, for the gift!"

"If you want to thank me, just thank your sister." The Flame Thorn dragged the team of snake people and slowly flew up with the wings of fighting spirit behind them. "Let me declare in advance that I have no good impression of humans, but since there is your sister among humans, If such people exist, then I think the human race is not so bad that it makes people despair."

"There are not many people who are so sincere anymore."

After leaving these words, Yan Thorn took the snake people and flew into the distance, drawing a fiery red light in the dark night, leaving Xiao Yan and the other three standing there in a daze.
