Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 384 I am not in a hurry

In the Xiao Clan Square, Xiao Shengyi's body was hung high, exposed to the scorching sun, and silently endured the contempt of every Xiao Clan member who passed by.

A week has passed since Xiao Shengyi was [justly executed] by Xiao Wuyun. During this week, as Xiao Wuyun fulfilled his promise to the Xiao people, he released the Xiao people who were previously captured by Xiao Shengyi, and released them one by one. The large amount of resources he allocated to the Xiao clan's holy guards made Xiao Wuyun's reputation continue to rise during this week, and it had already reached a peak period.

In contrast, the Xiao clan's holy guards were increasingly resentful of Xiao Wuyun due to a significant reduction in resources, and their daily patrol work was visibly negative and perfunctory.

At the beginning, they worked hard to squeeze their way into the Xiao Clan Holy Guard, just to obtain the large amount of resources that the family had given to the Xiao Clan Holy Guard. But now those resources have been all returned to the Xiao Clan people, and because of Xiao Shengyi's incident, they will not be able to do so in the future. The ordinary Xiao people who can no longer show off their power are just like the ordinary Xiao people. In addition to suffering and being discriminated against, the work they do is really just working for Xiao Wuyun in vain.

Xiao Ying hid in the crowd, looking at Xiao Shengyi's body hanging high, a trace of compassion flashed in her eyes.

What a loyal person, and the only Eight-Star Fighting Saint in the family, yet he was abandoned so easily by Xiao Wuyun.

However, although Xiao Ying felt pity for Xiao Shengyi, she had no sympathy at all.

Neither good nor bad people die, only stupid people die.

Xiao Shengyi is indeed commendable for his loyalty, but if he could think more about why Xiao Wuyun asked him to arrest the Xiao people and offend the public even though he knew they were full of complaints, he could think carefully about the reasons. , instead of Yu Zhong executing it, he would not end up like this.

In a sense, this is his own fault.

But what Xiao Ying is interested in now is not this, but another aspect.

Because Xiao Wuyun won over the Xiao clan people at the expense of Xiao Shengyi, the martial arts and fighting skills that he had secretly given to those Xiao clan members were all handed over one by one, hoping to cause trouble among the Xiao clan people. It doesn't work anymore.

Since the Xiao clan's side is no longer viable, let's change the angle and start with the Xiao clan's holy guards.

The question Xiao Ying is currently thinking about is, how to incite the Xiao Clan's holy guards?
It will definitely not work to continue to use the previous identity of the murderer. Although the Xiao Clan Holy Guard is quite resentful towards Xiao Wuyun now, he still knows in his heart who caused the trouble for them to end up like this. If he dares to use the identity of the murderer Appearing in front of them, let alone instigating them, they might just rush up and skin you.

Pretending to be one of the Xiao Clan Saint Guards to instigate would not work. The Xiao Clan Saint Guards do not have that many people compared to the Xiao Clan people, and each team has a dedicated supervisor. What’s more, even though the Xiao Clan Saint Guards have had most of their resources cut off. , but in fact it was just a return to normal. Except for the two captains who knew the truth about Xiao Shengyi's death, most of the Xiao Clan's holy guards did not have the conditions for the Xiao Clan to be easily incited, and accidentally exposed themselves.

Not to mention pretending to be a member of the Xiao Clan to incite the Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan. Now that the Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan and the people of the Xiao Clan are on opposite sides, I, a member of the Xiao Clan, can only live a good life and incite the Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan to rebel. ?Anyone in their right mind would wonder what your intentions are.

Therefore, it must be an identity that most of the Xiao Clan's holy guards can recognize, and that even the captain is willing to support.

As for this kind of person, Xiao Ying can only think of two people at present, one is the clan leader Xiao Wuyun, and the other
Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Shengyi's corpse in the square, and the corners of her mouth moved in a slight to almost non-existent arc.

She already has a solution.

However, there is no rush.

Xiao Ying glanced at the Xiao Clan's holy guards hiding in the dark. They were obviously specially assigned by Xiao Wuyun. He probably guessed that he had thoughts about Xiao Shengyi's body, so he arranged his men to guard him in advance. Once he appeared, , they will be immediately surrounded and suppressed by these Xiao clan holy guards.

Although the fighting spirit and soul are gone, it is the bloodline of the Eight-Star Fighting Saint after all, and its value is still quite high. In order to hide that he cannot absorb it, Xiao Wuyun is not willing to give this bloodline to himself.

Thoughts, but no problem.

Xiao Ying smiled coldly, turned around slowly and left.

Maybe as the leader of the clan, you can control many more things than me, but you who are in the light, facing me in the dark, can always only take advantage of the situation.

However, it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows.

Once or twice, you can still prevent it.

But as long as you do it too many times, sooner or later you will show your flaws.

Xiao Ying's eyes were filled with evil thoughts.

Take your time, me, there's no rush.

Time passed quickly, and a year after Xiao Shengyi was hung in the square, it was finally stolen.

Regarding Xiao Wuyun's order to keep a close eye on Xiao Shengyi's corpse, the Xiao Clan's holy guards could strictly enforce it at first. However, as time went on, they became less and less concerned about guarding the corpse.

Everyone is dead, is it still necessary to guard him so attentively?
With this mentality, all the holy guards of the Xiao clan who received the task of guarding Xiao Shengyi's body would just hang around and not be sad about this matter at all.

It was precisely because of this that after spending one night, they discovered that Xiao Shengyi's body had disappeared from the square at some point.

At this time, the two Xiao Clan Holy Guard captains were standing in the square, looking at the wooden pile where Xiao Shengyi's body was originally hung. It was now empty.

Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu were the people who had been promoted by Xiao Shengyi himself, and they were also the only two people in the Xiao Clan's Holy Guard who knew the truth about Xiao Shengyi's death.

The four holy guards of the Xiao Clan beside him knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling. The various severe punishments they would suffer for missing the body kept reappearing in their minds. You must know that this was an order personally issued by the clan leader, but they actually ignored it. To fulfill one's duty, one does not ask for forgiveness, but only wants to save one's life.

However, at this time, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu did not blame them for a word, but instead breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He is finally the commander-in-chief and no longer has to humiliate his body.

During this year, every time they saw Xiao Shengyi's body being wantonly humiliated and spurned by the Xiao clan, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu felt heartbroken, but they could not stop their actions and could only watch helplessly.

Xiao Shengyi's crime was decided by Xiao Wuyun himself, and it was Xiao Wuyun's order to hang his body here. Without Xiao Wuyun's nod, who would dare to take down Xiao Shengyi's body without authorization?

And today, Xiao Shengyi's body was finally out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Although they didn't know who stole Xiao Shengyi's body, nor did they know what the person wanted to do by stealing Xiao Shengyi's body, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu both applauded in their hearts.

No matter what Xiao Shengyi's body was used for, it was much better than continuing to be exposed here to be exposed to the wind and rain, and to be humiliated by everyone.

"Captain, we"

"Okay, everyone, get up." Xiao Lei waved his hand lightly, "I will report this matter to the clan leader personally, and go and do whatever you need to do."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Captain Xiao Lei!"

The four holy guards of the Xiao clan seemed to have been granted amnesty. Seeing Xiao Lei's behavior, it was obvious that he was ready to help them resolve this matter.

However, Xiao Lei looked very relaxed on the surface, but his heart was beating slightly.Xiao Wuyun personally issued an order to send the Xiao Clan's holy guards in turns to guard Xiao Shengyi's body, but it was still stolen. It's strange that Xiao Wuyun is not angry.

Facts have proved that Xiao Lei was right.

"Four Xiao clan holy guards are sent in turns to guard the corpse. How can the corpse be stolen?! What do you do for food?!"

In the clan leader's house, after hearing Xiao Lei's report, Xiao Wuyun was indeed furious and kept yelling angrily.

As for the thief, Xiao Wuyun also knew it very well. Who else could be there besides Xiao Ying?
He placed Xiao Shengyi's body in the square in order to greatly reduce the resentment of the Xiao clan. Xiao Wuyun originally thought that after a while, when the Xiao clan felt that this matter was over, he would secretly steal Xiao Shengyi's body back.

Although Xiao Shengyi's bloodline is not that outstanding, it is still the bloodline of the Eight-Star Fighting Saint. It is so advantageous to Xiao Ying!
To be honest, if Xiao Wuyun is really determined not to let Xiao Ying get Xiao Shengyi's body, the method is very simple, that is, he personally guards Xiao Shengyi's body day and night. With him guarding it, even if Xiao Ying has great abilities Don't even think about stealing the body.

But is this possible?

Xiao Wuyun is a clan leader no matter what, and he has to handle a lot of things. How can he find the free time to stare at a corpse every day?

But then again, it took more than a year for Xiao Ying to take action, which really surprised Xiao Wuyun. A corpse with all the blood of the Eight-Star Dou Sage was lying in the square in plain sight. It was a blessing that she could endure it all this time. Take action.

Forget it, the corpses have been stolen, and there is no benefit in starting a fire. After all, it is just a corpse. Xiao Shengyi's own bloodline is not very good. If you think about it carefully, Xiao Wuyun doesn't feel it is a pity.

What's more, now, he has more important things to solve.

"Forget it, let's leave this matter alone. Don't worry about it." Xiao Wuyun waved his hands indifferently, looked at Xiao Lei and continued: "Compared with this, I have another thing to give to you."

"Clan leader, please speak clearly."

Hearing that Xiao Wuyun no longer pursues the theft of Xiao Shengyi's body, Xiao Lei is relieved, lowers his head with a serious face, Xiao Wuyun taps the table with his finger and says slowly.

"Today, news came from informants outside the Xiao clan that traces of Xiao Ling were found on the road. Tomorrow you will take three elites from the Xiao clan's holy guards to capture Xiao Ling. You must bring her back alive. .”

Xiao Wuyun said, with a trace of unnoticeable enthusiasm flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Ling's bloodline is only slightly worse than Xiao Ying's, and it is also a top-level bloodline that is rare to see in a hundred years in the Xiao clan. Xiao Wuyun has been coveting it for a long time. The reason why he did not take action before was because of two reasons.

First, he had already usurped Xiao Ying's bloodline and made her a useless person. This could barely be explained as an accident and a coincidence. But if Xiao Ling also became a useless person, it would not be so easy to fool her. .

It is a coincidence that a genius becomes useless.

But if two geniuses become useless, then the whole family will not give up until a thorough investigation is carried out. Who knows if the third genius will end up with the same fate? For the future of the Xiao clan, they must deal with this reason. It is clear that the idea of ​​long-term development may not be realized by then, and Xiao Wuyun cannot do such a thing of killing the goose to obtain the eggs.

The second reason is that the Great Elder was still standing behind Xiao Ling. At that time, Xiao Wuyun had not yet seized the power of the Great Elder, so he could not conflict with him for the time being. Once he touched Xiao Ling, The great elder would really fight him regardless, and he could defeat him, but at the same time, he had to become disillusioned with the idea of ​​taking a long-term approach to fishing for big fish.

After dealing with the first elder and the second elder, Xiao Wuyun came up with the idea of ​​​​Xiao Ling's bloodline again. However, at that time, Xiao Ling had long ago disappeared and had been ordering people to search for traces of Xiao Ling over the years. , I finally got the news today.

To be honest, the moment he got the news, Xiao Wuyun wished he could go out and catch Xiao Ling.

However, after thinking calmly, Xiao Wuyun still assigned this task to Xiao Lei, and the reason was very simple.

Xiao Ying is now confirmed to be in the Xiao clan. The previous series of troubles were all secretly caused by Xiao Ying, and even caused her to kill Xiao Shengyi herself in order to restore her reputation.

Although he won the secret confrontation, Xiao Wuyun had to admit that it was a quite miserable victory. At the same time, he had to admit in his heart that although Xiao Ying's strength was not as good as his own, his methods were not bad at all.

At present, Xiao Ying only dares to make some small moves secretly, because she knows that her strength is completely incomparable to hers. She does not dare to stand in front of her, and can only use conspiracies and tricks to compete with her. Even so, Xiao Wu Yun didn't dare to let down his guard at all.

And if in this situation, if he dares to leave the family without permission, even if he successfully captures Xiao Ling, Xiao Wuyun really doesn't dare to think about how the Xiao family will be disturbed by Xiao Ying.

Xiao Wuyun looked at Xiao Lei and ordered sternly.

"Remember, we must bring Xiao Ling back, there must be no mistakes!"

"As ordered."

Xiao Lei responded in a deep voice, turned around and left the patriarch's mansion.

Outside the Patriarch's Mansion, Xiao Lei turned his head with a cold face and looked at the gate of the Patriarch's Mansion, feeling slightly awe-inspiring in his heart.

Even if the granddaughter of a great elder who had been dead for several years was really a traitor, there was no reason for Xiao Wuyun to take her so seriously.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lei could only think of one reason, a very special reason for Xiao Ling, and that was her excellent bloodline.

(Sure enough, the rumor that the clan leader can absorb the power of blood is not false.)

Xiao Lei murmured in his heart and walked slowly towards the office of the Xiao Clan's Holy Guard.

In fact, he really didn't want to carry out Xiao Wuyun's order. It wasn't because he knew Xiao Ling or he felt sympathy, but because he simply hated Xiao Wuyun.

Because of Xiao Shengyi's incident, he no longer had any loyalty to Xiao Wuyun, the aloof clan leader.

loyalty?Have you seen what happened to Xiao Shengyi?When the entire Xiao clan discusses their loyalty to Xiao Wuyun, who dares to claim first place if Xiao Shengyi is second?He was the only eight-star fighting saint in the family now, so wasn't he abandoned by Xiao Wuyun without hesitation?
Xiao Lei has finally seen through it. If he continues to follow Xiao Wuyun, he and Xiao Yu will end up with the same fate as Xiao Shengyi sooner or later.

But Xiao Wuyun had personally ordered him to capture Xiao Ling, and he could not resist him.

what to do?Do you continue to live one day at a time?

Xiao Lei kept thinking about this problem in his heart. At this time, he also came to the office of Xiao Clan Holy Guard and entered his room.

However, as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yu approaching, his movements a little panicked, but his eyes full of excitement. He made a silent gesture to Xiao Lei, closed the door gently, and raised his hand to greet Xiao Lei.

"follow me."

Ok?
Xiao Lei twisted up with a puzzled expression and followed Xiao Yu into the depths of the room. Soon he saw a very weak-looking person sitting on the main seat in the dark room.

When seeing this man, Xiao Lei's expression felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes could not help but stare.

Captain? ! !
