Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Lin Shu, the head chef of Xiaohun Restaurant.

Although it was she who proposed to take a rest yesterday, when she really took a rest, Lin Shu found that she had nothing to do at home. She felt bored and suddenly remembered that the food in the restaurant was running out, so she went to the streets of Heiyin City to buy some.

"Then trouble you."

"Okay, I'll send you to the restaurant tomorrow morning!"

The owner of the vegetable store saw Lin Shu off with a smile on his face. Lin Shu walked to the street and glanced at the passers-by. Then, after thinking for a while, she turned around and walked in one direction, muttering something.

"Let's go buy some more meat. I think we're running low on wine."

Purchasing ingredients and wine was originally just something Lin Shu had to do as a disguised chef. Over the past three years, she has completely developed a habit of it, as if she really regarded herself as an ordinary restaurant chef.

Just then, Lin Shu passed a corner and bumped into the other party without noticing. Lin Shu took two steps back and then heard a soft voice coming from the opposite side.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay?"

"fine."

Lin Shu responded indifferently, and then casually glanced at the man who bumped into her. When she was about to walk around him and leave, she suddenly froze, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, her heart filled with unspeakable fear.

Xiao Yan?! Why is he here???

Lin Shu's heart was already in her throat, but fortunately, Lin Shu was not Lin Mei. She was the type of person who never showed her emotions, so Xiao Yan did not see her inner fear. Xiao Yan looked at Lin Shu with some confusion, not understanding why she was staring at him.

Later, Lin Shu also saw Gu Qinghan following behind Xiao Yan, and she became even more certain that the person in front of her was indeed Xiao Yan.

"Eh? Sister Lin Shu?" At this time, Xiao Mei's pretty face popped out from behind Xiao Yan and looked at Lin Shu in surprise, "What a coincidence, are you here shopping too?"

"Well, the restaurant is running low on ingredients, so I'm going out to buy some."

Lin Shu's heart was surging like a sea of ​​turmoil, but her expression remained calm, which was enough to prove her strong mental quality. She had no intention of talking to Xiao Mei for too long.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Lin Shu nodded lightly and said calmly, trying her best to make her movements appear normal, and walked calmly past Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan and left.

Looking at Lin Shu's departing back, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and asked Xiao Mei.

"Sister, do you know that lady just now?"

"Yes, she is the chef of the restaurant we often go to. The food she cooks is super delicious. Unfortunately, she is closed today. I will treat you, cousin Xiao Yan, to dinner when the restaurant opens."

Xiao Mei said this while patting her chest with a little regret. Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, and then glanced at Gu Qinghan slightly. Gu Qinghan, who had been together for three years, immediately understood what Xiao Yan meant, nodded silently, and then disappeared from the spot the next moment.

At this time, Xiao Mei also discovered that Gu Qinghan had disappeared, and before she could ask, Xiao Yan explained.

"Qinghan remembered something she needed to do, so let's go around on our own first. Didn't you say earlier that Senior Yingshan wanted to see me?"

"Well, I'll take you there now~"

Xiao Mei responded with a smile, and did not worry too much about Gu Qinghan's whereabouts. She rather said that being able to be alone with Xiao Yan was just what he wanted, and she put her arm around Xiao Yan, humming a little tune as they walked towards the old man Yingshan's tea shop.

Damn damn damn!

How could that Xiao Yan suddenly appear in the Black Horn Region? !

Lin Shu, who was completely out of Xiao Yan's sight, walked in a slightly anxious manner, with a cold look in her clear eyes.

Yesterday she also heard Lin Yan say that they probably didn’t have much time left, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon!
Why did Xiao Yan come here? Was it a coincidence? Or did he come here because he got the news from us?

Lin Shu's mind was filled with confusion. She didn't even have the mood to buy meat and wine from the restaurant. She wanted to go back and tell Lin Yan and the others that Xiao Yan had come to the Black Horn Region.

"Well?"

At this moment, Lin Shu's eyebrows suddenly raised, and she inadvertently turned her head slightly and glanced diagonally behind herself.

He felt that he was being followed and the aura should be from the woman named Gu Qinghan who was beside Xiao Yan.

Were you suspected?
Lin Shu immediately came to this conclusion and was not surprised at all that Xiao Yan suspected her.

Although the identities of the three of them were concealed quite perfectly, high-level strong men could still feel that something was amiss. In the past three years, that guy called Old Man Yingshan had been keeping an eye on them. Fortunately, Lin Yan and the other two had been running the restaurant honestly in the past three years, and he had not caught any evidence of anything amiss.

But she also had doubts. Xiao Yan and Old Man Yingshan were completely different. After learning about what Xiao Yan had done from the last battle and the three years of living in the Black Horn Region, Lin Shu understood clearly that Xiao Yan would never let the three of them go.

Xiao Yan would never tolerate the evil deeds they had committed, even if Lin Wu was around.

(What should I do? Should I kill her?)

Lin Shu slowed down her pace, struggling in her mind. She clearly sensed that Gu Qinghan was now at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun realm, and she could defeat her with her current strength. The key problem was her terrifying speed, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take her down in an instant, and if she ran away, she would probably be followed closely.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was only suspicious of himself now. If he took action, his identity would be completely exposed.
Lin Shu glanced at the passers-by and frowned even more.

Fighting here is likely to hurt many innocent people even if you try your best to avoid it.

Indeed, Lin Shu's nature was vicious and cruel, and she would never have the slightest sympathy or pity for those ants in her eyes.

But she really didn't want Lin Wu to know her sinister and cruel nature.

Not only her, but also Lin Yan and Lin Mei, they are trying their best to show the best side of Lin Wu, rather than a female devil who is unforgivable and deserves to die.

Just as Lin Shu was thinking about what to do, she suddenly felt a soul shock coming towards Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan, whose attention was focused on Lin Wu, did not notice it at all and was hit hard by the soul shock.

Fortunately, this soul shock did not have any harmful effect, but only made Gu Qinghan feel dizzy. His body instinctively tensed up, ready to use the moment of emptiness to escape from any possible attack.

Lin Shu was suddenly stunned, and then a voice sounded in her mind.

【Go quickly! 】

Lin Shu was extremely familiar with this voice. It was Lin Mei, who was sent by Lin Yan to find her. When Lin Shu heard this voice, the corners of her cold mouth couldn't stop twitching. Then, anger revealed in her eyes, and she responded with abusive words.

【You idiot! 】

If I disappear from her sight after you make this move, wouldn't that be the same as admitting that there is something wrong with me? !

[Go back and tell Lin Yan that Xiao Yan already suspects me. I'll just hold off here and let her figure out a solution! ] [Tsk! Got it! ]

Lin Mei seemed to understand how infuriating her brainless behavior was, and she left quietly without arguing with Lin Shu. Lin Shu continued to walk on the street as if nothing happened.

At this time, the dizziness in Gu Qinghan's mind had dissipated, and his expression was very ugly. He vigilantly glanced at the pedestrians coming and going around him, but did not find any suspicious people. Finally, his eyes were fixed on the back of Lin Shu who was walking in the crowd in front of him, with a frown.

She's still here. Does that mean the soul shock just now has nothing to do with her?
No, it might also be her companions who did it, and the reason why she didn't run away might also be to prevent Xiao Yan's suspicion of her from being confirmed.

Although he had come to such a conclusion in his heart, Gu Qinghan's suspicion towards Lin Shu remained unabated, and he continued to follow Lin Shu silently among the crowd.

Suddenly, Gu Qinghan's expression froze as she looked at a dignified-looking man who passed by Lin Shu. Although she had never seen him before, the other party's strength made Gu Qinghan pay attention.

The peak of Nine-turn Douzun!

The other party also noticed Gu Qinghan, but after just glancing at him, he looked away, like a common passerby lost in the crowd.

Of course, if it was just this one, it would be fine. Gu Qinghan wouldn't have to be so vigilant. They can run wherever they want, and there is no rule that the Black Horn Region cannot let them in, right?

Therefore, Gu Qinghan only paid a little attention to her and continued to focus his attention on Lin Shu.

But soon, Gu Qinghan discovered something was wrong.

While following Lin Shu, I didn't find anything suspicious about her, but there were too many things wrong on the street.

Including the peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun just now, Gu Qinghan discovered seven powerful men of the same level in this short street!
At this moment, Gu Qinghan's face was filled with solemnity.

One or two would be fine, but why would so many powerful people at the peak of the Nine-Transformation Dou Zun suddenly appear in the Black Horn Region?

Gu Qinghan had a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He looked at Lin Shu's back, then looked at those peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun masters who had passed by him, and felt extremely conflicted.

(Xiao Yan’s cousin seems to know that woman. Even if she really has a problem, she probably doesn’t want to expose it now. There should be no rush.) Gu Qinghan thought about it in his heart and gradually got the answer. (On the contrary, those peak 9th level Dou Zun suddenly gathered here. There must be a special reason. He must tell Xiao Yan about it immediately.)
Gu Qinghan made this decision in his heart, and finally looked deeply at Lin Shu's back, then turned around to look for Xiao Yan.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that Gu Qinghan had given up following her, but then her brows slightly frowned.

Since Gu Qinghan could sense those peak Nine Revolutions Dou Zun masters, there was no reason why Lin Shu couldn't sense them. Her doubts were very similar to Gu Qinghan's, that is, there was no reason for so many peak Nine Revolutions Dou Zun masters to appear at once in the Black Horn Region, the center of the northwestern continent.

Those people must have come here with some special purpose.

Lin Shu thought for a moment, then disappeared into a corner where no one noticed her and appeared at the door of her house in an instant. She glanced around and made sure that no one was following her before pushing the door open. She saw Lin Yan and Lin Mei discussing something in the living room. They all looked up when they saw Lin Shu pushing the door open.

"Lin Shu, you're back."

"Yeah." Lin Shu nodded slightly, and sensed that Lin Wu was in the room upstairs. Then, without waiting for Lin Yan to ask, she said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yan is just suspicious at the moment, we still have some time."

As she said this, Lin Shu frowned even more tightly.

"Compared to this, I just saw several guys at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun on the street. They should all be from Zhongzhou."

"many?"

Lin Yan and Lin Mei were both stunned, and Lin Mei asked directly.

"Why did the Nine-turn Dou Zun peak come to the Black Horn Region?"

"Who knows? If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but with so many of them showing up at once, there must be some common reason."

Lin Shu said this in a deep voice, while Lin Yan frowned tightly, and soon a look of realization flashed in her eyes.

"I think I guessed what they are here for."

Lin Yan's words attracted the attention of Lin Mei and Lin Shu, and then Lin Yan slowly spoke.

"Do you still remember the wanted order issued by Hun Miesheng on behalf of the Soul Palace against us three years ago?"

"You mean the wanted poster that says they can get a Bodhi Pill if they kill us?" Lin Mei raised her eyebrows and spread out one hand. "But what does this have to do with them coming to the Black Horn Region? They don't even know we are in the Black Horn Region."

As soon as Lin Mei finished speaking, Lin Shu immediately understood and asked Lin Yan uncertainly.

"You mean they already know?" Lin Shu said, frowning even more tightly. "But Lin Yan, Xiao Yan is now the executor of Zhongzhou Tianhe League. It can be said that there is nothing in Zhongzhou that he doesn't know. From the way I bumped into him just now, he should not be sure that we are in the Black Horn Region, otherwise he would not have just suspected me so simply."

"Even he is not sure whether we are in the Black Horn Region, how do those independent cultivators know?"

Hearing Lin Shu's question, Lin Yan did not answer, but just raised her hand and pointed upwards. Lin Mei and Lin Shu did not react at first, but after a moment they understood what she meant, and their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

"You mean her?"

"Besides her, I can't think of anyone else." Lin Yan grabbed her hair and smiled bitterly. "For someone in her position, it's already kind of her to let us stay here for such a long time. It's better to say that she has allowed us to live here peacefully with Lin Wu for three years. We really have to thank her."

"I felt suffocated yesterday, and I always had a bad feeling. I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

Lin Mei and Lin Shu looked at Lin Yan in silence. After a while, Lin Shu asked in a deep voice.

"Then Lin Yan, what should we do now?"

"Originally, I wanted to start preparing during this period of time and naturally push Lin Wu to her brother and her cousin, but now it seems that time does not allow us to do so." Lin Yan said softly, and then a little cruelty was revealed in her eyes, "In this case, we can only use another method."

"Lin Mei, Lin Shu."

Lin Yan looked at Lin Mei and Lin Shu, the two sisters who had been with her through thick and thin since the beginning of the family, and asked in a serious tone.

"You two, are you willing to sacrifice with me for Lin Wu?"

Hearing Lin Yan's question, Lin Mei and Lin Shu were both stunned for a moment, and then nodded without hesitation.

"Of course!"

"Then it's decided." Lin Yan slowly raised her hand, her eyes revealing determination, "Let us go to the underworld together, willingly."

Lin Yan's eyes sparkled and sparkled.

"Let us finally fight for the only value of existence in our rotten lives." (End of this chapter)
