Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 409 Farce
At this time, on a mountain around Wutan City, a group of men were kneeling on the ground even more tremblingly. It was the mercenaries who were beaten away by Xiao Yu and looked like bandits.

In front of these mercenaries, stood a one-armed man. If Xiao Ling and others were here, they would be able to recognize this man's identity at a glance.

In the Izumo Empire, Centian Mansion Centipeda escaped after being cut off by Yun Yun.

"Zombie, didn't I ask you to go find trouble for the Xiao family? Why did you come back like dogs?"

Centipede glanced at the mercenaries with a cold expression, and the leading fighting spirit quickly knocked his head heavily on the ground.

"Sir! This is none of our business! I didn't expect a little girl with a great fighting master to be so powerful!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Centipede immediately became unhappy, "You mean, you, a fighting spirit, got beat up by a great fighting master and came back in a state of utter disgrace?"

"This is what it is."

The Dou Ling mercenary hesitated, feeling extremely embarrassed and annoyed, but he could only lower his head and admit it, because that was the fact.

They were originally a group of mountain bandits far away from Wutan City. Yesterday, Centipede suddenly ran to their camp and asked or questioned them whether the Xiao family would reunite here every year on this day. After receiving an affirmative answer, they asked a series of questions. Questions, such as what is the strength of the highest-level person in the Xiao family and a series of other questions, this fighting spirit also knows everything and talks about it.

The reason is also very simple, because Centi Ya is the Dou Huang, and if he disobeys, he and his younger brother will die on the spot.

After asking about the matter, Centipede took them to Wutan City and ordered them to find trouble with the Xiao family.

Naturally, he was unwilling to do this. They set up camp far away from Wutan City to avoid trouble. Even if Xiao Zhan was only a great fighting master, his appeal was not comparable to that of a bandit leader. He was just fighting spirits. Look for more. A few great fighting masters were piled to death, and he had no need or courage to confront Xiao Zhan head-on.

But no matter how unwilling he is, there is nothing he can do. If he agrees to Centipede, he may die, but if he doesn't agree to Centipede, he will definitely die. If he is just a fighting spirit, what qualifications do he have to bargain with a fighting emperor?
After entering Wutan City, he went to Xiao Yu and the Xiao family juniors just to be on the safe side. Anyway, Centipede only said that he would trouble the Xiao family, but he didn't specify who to trouble. In his opinion, a bunch of little girls were just a mess. What's there to be afraid of?

The result was obvious. He, a fighting spirit, and a group of his subordinates were beaten so hard by Xiao Yu, a great fighting master, that they couldn't even fight back.

Immediately, Centipede's cold words reached his ears, making his bones instantly freeze.

"A fighting spirit and a group of people can't even defeat a great fighting master, so it's useless to ask you guys."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dou Ling mercenary and his men suddenly felt extremely itchy all over their bodies. They clearly felt that their hearts were rapidly failing and their breathing was not smooth. They were all clutching their throats tightly, with veins sprouting on their faces, and their faces were hideous.

It's poison!

Everyone reacted immediately, looking at Centipeda in front of them with tears in their eyes. When they were about to die, they wanted to reach out and ask for an explanation, but it was too late.

A few seconds later, everyone fell to the ground with unwilling expressions on their faces, including the fighting spirit.

"Hmph! A bunch of trash!"

Centipede glanced at their corpses coldly, without any fluctuation in his heart.

Anyway, this group of people can't help me. What I want to know is already clear, and the rest is enough for me to handle alone.

Centipede came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the lively Xiao family compound in Wutan City from a distance, with a cold arc drawn at the corner of his mouth.

The previous defeat in the Tagore Desert not only failed to get rid of the snake people, but also allowed the snake people to reach a reconciliation with the Gama Empire. It was even later found out that Queen Medusa was not dead at all!
The Mulan Empire is fine, but this is definitely extremely bad news for the Izumo Empire and the Luoyan Empire.

Centipede Ya has not forgotten that when Queen Medusa's avatar was stabbed in the back by Yan Luotian in the Tagore Desert, she said it herself: "When this king comes out of seclusion, there will be no peace for Izu Yun Luoyan." 】Such words.

With Medusa's reputation, saying such words is not just about scaring people. The reason why she hasn't taken action against Izumo Luoyan now can only be because of some unavoidable reasons.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Centi Ya felt. Coupled with the news received some time ago, the Yunlan Sect, which was supposed to be disbanded, was also safe and sound. The relationship with the Gama royal family was quite harmonious, and Yunshan, who was in seclusion, had also been released from seclusion. , whose strength has reached the level of Dou Zong, and coupled with a successfully evolved Queen Medusa, the threat is so great that it is impossible to ignore it.

With Queen Medusa's words first, coupled with the growing power of the Garma Empire, it was really difficult for Izumo Luoyan to settle down, and he finally decided to take the initiative.

But head-on confrontation is really not the best strategy. No matter you win or lose, you will pay a considerable price.

Therefore, we can only find the easiest and most critical person to attack.

Ever since, the image of a person immediately appeared in the minds of Izumo and Luoyan.

Xiao family, Xiao Ling.

It was this woman who almost single-handedly broke the extremely strong barrier between the Jiama royal family and the Snake people, and successfully made the Snake people join forces with the Jiama empire, including migrating the Snake people from the Tagor Desert. All of this was Xiao Ling's idea. contributed to the results.

This is a crisis for Luoyan Izumo, but it is also an opportunity!
Now even if the Snake People and the Jia Ma Empire join forces, the relationship is definitely not that stable. Therefore, direct contact between the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake People is unlikely. There must be an intermediary to mediate.

And Xiao Ling is the middleman. Jia Xingtian also knows this very well. He knows that Xiao Ling is absolutely indispensable for the Snake Clan's affairs. That's why he immediately listed Xiao Ling as the emperor's master after the Yunlan Sect incident and allowed her to enter with a name. The power circle of the Jia Ma royal family has more say in dealing with the snake people's affairs.

It can be said that Jia Xingtian has left almost all the arrangements for the Snake People to Xiao Ling, because the Snake People are more willing to negotiate with Xiao Ling than the royal family.

Because of this, as long as Xiao Ling dies, there will be no middleman between the Nagama royal family and the Snake people. There will be more and more conflicts between the two forces who cannot listen to each other. Eventually, the Snake people and the Jiama empire will once again stand on opposite sides.

But this time, it is not as easy to deal with as before. Previously, the snake people lived in the Tagore Desert on the border of the Gama Empire. Although there will be a price to pay for suppressing them, it is not difficult. No matter how difficult it is, a false peace can be maintained.

But now, the Snake People are living in groups in Chisha City within the Jia Ma Empire. Although it is not the center, it is still quite threatening. In this case, once the relationship between the Jia Ma Royal Family and the Snake People breaks down, they must completely wipe out the Snake People. Otherwise, it will only cause continuous intrusion to the surrounding cities.

In this case, the casualties must be quite heavy.

"Hehehejia Xingtian, you have been stable for most of your life, but you are still not stable after all."

Centipede smiled sadly, her eyes full of coldness.

Jiaxing Tian must have considered the possibility of the Snake People rebelling again, but after experiencing what happened in the Tagor Desert, he understood that just seeking safety would not solve the fundamental problem. If he wanted to completely solve the Snake People's matter, Risks must be taken.

What's more, the existence of Xiao Ling made Jiaxingtian quite confident. As long as Xiao Ling was still there, the Snake People would not be able to cause chaos.

This idea is indeed okay, but in the eyes of Izumo and Luoyan, it has another meaning.As long as Xiao Ling dies, the Snake Tribe will most likely rebel!

But on weekdays, Xiao Ling always stayed in the Holy City of Jiama, so it was not easy to start.

But just recently, Izumo and Luoyan learned through various news that the Xiao family reunited at the Xiao family every year, and Xiao Ling was no exception.

And this is the best time for Xiao Ling to take action after leaving Jiama Holy City and out of the protection of Jiaxingtian!

In order to avoid being discovered by Jia Xingtian, Centi Ya sneaked into the Jia Ma Empire alone and came to Wutan City. He roughly learned about the situation in Wutan City through various means.

As for why it was Centipede, it was because he wanted to prove to Yan Luotian that he was still valuable. It can be seen from the last incident in the Tagore Desert that Yan Luotian was very dissatisfied with Centipede. Even if Izu Yun Luoyan did it again If they join forces, Yan Luotian will probably not look for him again. Centi Ya is not the only person in the Izumo Empire who can speak.

This won't work!Centipede Ya finally managed to get on Yan Luotian's line, which would allow him to have more say in the Izumo Empire. How could he be willing to give in?
Whether it was forced by the situation or self-interest, the final result was that Centi Ya volunteered to take over the task of assassinating Xiao Ling, feeling quite confident in his heart.

The patriarch of a small family in a small city is just a great fighter, so what's the difficulty in dealing with it?
However, it is daytime, and it is not appropriate to take action. It would be bad if someone sees him. Even if Jiaxingtian can guess it, they cannot have evidence to prove that it was he, Centi Ya, who destroyed the Xiao family. Otherwise, when the snake people rebel, Jiaxingtian will Can use this as an excuse to turn the blame on them.

Therefore, choose to kill at night, when people are most relaxed!
"Haha, enjoy it, Xiao Ling." Centiya smiled ferociously with a vicious look in his eyes, "This is the last good year you and your family will spend~"

After the words fell, Centipede's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only corpses on the mountain.

Time turned and it was night. According to the usual practice, the Xiao family's juniors rehearsed one program and performed on the stage. Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei failed as usual, hiding in the corner and drawing circles.

After the performance started, Luman and other outsiders also watched it with great interest. Apart from practicing, there was basically no entertainment on weekdays. This kind of performance was still quite novel to them.

Even Hai Bodong was pulled onto the stage by the children of the Xiao family and reluctantly performed a children's play.

As for Haibodong's true identity, not everyone in the Xiao family knew about it. Those in the audience who didn't know were okay and just smiled happily at the performance of these cute children.

But everyone who knew Hai Bodong's identity was all covered in cold sweat. The children's drama performed by Dangdang Binghuang and a group of children was so funny that those who knew it were more funny than those who didn't know, but those who knew couldn't help but laugh. He dared to laugh, but looking at Hai Bodong's extremely resentful expression, he was afraid that he would bring a snowstorm to the entire Xiao family in the next second.

Ya Fei, who was invited, also covered her mouth slightly and looked at Hai Bodong on the stage. Her good cultivation made it easy for her to calm down, even though she was very shocked.

That arrogant Master Haibodong was actually coerced by a bunch of children to perform a children's play on stage. If Grandpa had known about it, his jaw would have dropped out of shock. Sure enough, he had been a child for so long that his mental age was immature. Already?
"Sister Yafei."

At this moment, while everyone's attention was on the stage, Xiao Yan came over and bowed to her in embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry that I made Sister Yafei see something ugly yesterday."

Yafei looked at Xiao Yan who lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a charming smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry so much. No one can always be glamorous. There will always be ugly things. This is not a shameful thing." Ya Fei stroked Hao's wrist and looked at Hai Bo on the stage. Dong, "Look at Master Haibo Dong, isn't this the same situation now?"

"Well, speaking of this, I still can't believe that Senior Haibodong actually performed on stage."

Xiao Yan suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

To be honest, when the children pulled the unwilling Haibodong in front of him and said that he was going to perform on stage, Xiao Yan was completely stunned. He was about to persuade the children to give up for Haibodong. Haibodong Dong actually said, "Follow them."

Follow them?That means following these children on stage to perform a play?

Xiao Yan still thinks it's unrealistic until now. After all, Hai Bodong only looks small, but he is actually a powerful warrior who has been famous for many years. How can he put down his face and perform a children's play with the children on stage?

Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan, then looked at Hai Bodong on the stage, and smiled slightly.

"Xiao Yan, the happiest time in a person's life is when he is the most ignorant. It is precisely because the more he knows, the more troubles he will have." Yafei folded her arms and confided softly, "And as long as a person is alive in this life, It is impossible to remain ignorant, and the only people who can truly be ignorant are young and ignorant children."

"Master Haibodong talked to me before. The stronger he becomes, the more he feels that he is not strong enough. He is obviously getting stronger, but the more he feels that he is weak."

"He can perform on stage with these ignorant children in this form and feel their simple happiness. It must be a pretty good experience for Master Haibodong."

After listening to Ya Fei's words, Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong on the stage. Although the expression on his face was still reluctant, his eyes were filled with joy.

As Yafei said, it had been many years since he had experienced this kind of pure happiness. Even if it was extremely embarrassing, it was just him who felt ashamed.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was suddenly touched.

On the other side, the little fairy doctor glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing with Ya Fei. She had been wary of Ya Fei since the beginning of Jia Ma Holy City and frowned unconsciously. When she was about to get up and go over, her figure suddenly changed. cold.

Immediately, the little medical fairy stretched out her jade hand and shook it gently. Wisps of purple mist that ordinary people could not see condensed from all directions in the Xiao family courtyard to the palm of her hand, converging into a dark purple air ball.

Obviously, it's poison.

The little medical fairy was stunned for a long time.

Why is it poisonous here?

At this moment, the children's performance on the stage ended, and Hai Bodong bowed his head and took a final bow with the other children.

Suddenly, a wild voice sounded from the air.

"Hahahaha! Xiao Ling! Tonight is the time when you and the Xiao family will be destroyed!"

In full view of the crowd, Centipede's figure appeared above the stage without looking down. With a wave of his hand, a ball of deep purple fighting spirit blasted toward the stage.

"Let these children go downstairs and wait for you first!!!"

boom! ! !
