Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Gu Zhen and Gu Yao looked at this familiar place. Three years ago, they came here with Xun'er under the leadership of Gu Qinghan. Now they revisited the place again because of the incident of the ancient Bodhi tree, and they couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

The descendants of the eight clans basically spend most of their lives within their family territories. After all, the cultivation resources in Zhongzhou are far inferior to those within the eight clans, which also leads to them rarely having the opportunity to travel to Zhongzhou.

Fortunately, the last time the Black Yan Army, including Gu Zhen and Gu Yao, came to Zhongzhou and settled in Luoxing City, they had a pretty good impression of it. Before coming this time, they had already discussed where to go for a drink.

Of course, the mission of protecting Xun'er could not be forgotten. As for the matter of the ancient Bodhi tree, to be honest, no one in the ancient clan took it too seriously. Even before the Black Annihilation Army set out, Gu Yuan specifically instructed that the main purpose of this trip was to travel rather than to gain opportunities, and that saving lives must be the priority.

To be honest, it is true that the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree is very rare, it is truly rare to come across in a thousand years. But compared with the bloodline and resources of the ancient clan, the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree does not seem so precious. It is totally not worthwhile to sacrifice one's own outstanding descendants for a mere ancient Bodhi tree.

This is the confidence that only the Ancient Clan, the largest of the eight existing ancient clans, can possess.

Xun'er's eyes were full of ambition and hesitation at this time. In the past three years, she had always obeyed her family's orders and behaved very submissively. She was just waiting for this opportunity.

According to the letter that Gu Qinghan had written back to her earlier, Xiao Yan was now at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun level, and was only one step away from reaching the level of Half-Saint. This was both a misfortune and a blessing for Xun'er.

Unfortunately, once Xiao Yan breaks through to the Saint level, his thing will no longer work on him.

Fortunately, just when Xiao Yan was stuck at this level, he finally had a chance to get out!

"Oh? Isn't this the girl Xun'er?"

When Xun'er was enjoying her wonderful future, a familiar voice came into her ears, which made Xun'er put away her fantasies. She turned her head and saw the person coming, and bowed her head respectfully to greet him.

"Senior Yao Chen, Senior Feng Xian, long time no see."

The people who came were Yao Chen, Feng Xian, and the black-robed elder of Danta. Qingluan, who was following behind the three of them, also stuck her head out and greeted Xun'er happily.

"It's Xun'er! Long time no see!"

When they saw Yao Chen's appearance, although the Hei Yan Army had only caught a glimpse of him from afar three years ago, they were all stunned when they saw him at such a close distance now, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Originally, in their hearts, Xun'er was a fairy who had descended from heaven, an absolutely flawless and perfect existence. They also believed that their threshold for beauty had been infinitely raised by Xun'er.

However, even so, Xun'er is undoubtedly inferior to Yao Chen. She is so perfect that the Black Annihilation Army feels that the word "perfect" is not enough to describe Yao Chen's outstanding image.

Yao Chen put his hands behind his back and glanced at the Black Annihilation Army who were on high alert. Thinking of the recent major events, he immediately understood.

"Are you here for the ancient Bodhi tree?"

"Yes, my father ordered me to bring the Black Annihilation Army to Zhongzhou for some training. There is still some time before the ancient Bodhi tree appears in the world, so I thought of coming to Xingyun Pavilion to visit Brother Xiao Yan and Sister Qinghan. I hope I don't trouble Senior Yao Chen."

Xun'er folded her hands in front of her, speaking elegantly with the posture of a lady from a noble family. Yao Chen's red pupils flickered slightly, and he immediately guessed Xun'er's thoughts, but did not expose them. He squinted his eyes and revealed a beautiful smile that made the whole world pale in comparison.

"How can it be troublesome? Xingyun Pavilion is supposed to be lively~" Yao Chen walked past Xun'er and came to the space barrier of Xingyun Pavilion, slowly raised his jade hand, "Let me take you in, do you want these guys to come in with you?"

"No, too many people will disturb you. They can just stay in Luoxing City temporarily."

Xun'er smiled and waved her hand and replied.

Are you kidding! She came here with a purpose this time. The more people from the Ancient Clan there are, the easier it is to mess up her plan. If possible, Xun'er actually didn't want the Black Annihilation Army to follow her.

But there is no way. This time out for training, the Black Annihilation Army is the real main body, and I am the one who is just joining the team.

When Gu Zhen and Gu Yao heard Xun'er's words, they were both stunned and raised their hands and whispered.

"Miss, we also want to go see Sister Qinghan."

Gu Zhen, Gu Yao and other Black Annihilation Army also wanted to live in Luoxing City, but before that they wanted to see Gu Qinghan after three years of absence. The Black Annihilation Army present were all young talents of the Gu clan. Except for Xun'er who had lived in the Xiao family since childhood, the others were all brought up by Gu Qinghan. They all had the utmost respect for the oldest sister in the clan.

They hadn't seen each other for three years, so naturally they missed each other very much.

However, just as Gu Zhen Gu Yao's words came out, Xun'er turned around and looked at the Hei Yan Jun and said softly.

"I will inform Sister Qinghan later. She will come to the city to reminisce with you. We have too many people, so let's not disturb her today."

Although Xun'er was smiling with her eyes narrowed, the black energy clinging to her face did make everyone in the Black Annihilation Army tremble violently and feel inexplicably cold in their hearts. Even Gu Zhen and Gu Yao did not dare to say anything and could only nod repeatedly to show their obedience.

"Miss, if you have any instructions, please feel free to call us. We will take our leave now!"

Gu Zhen said this to Xun'er in a serious voice, and then hurriedly commanded the Black Annihilation Army to rush towards Luoxing City.

Looking at the fleeing Black Army, Yao Chen couldn't help but smack his tongue.

As expected of the ancient clan's imperial guards, they are not only powerful but also have impeccable discipline.

In comparison, his former family was only good at alchemy among the eight ancient clans, and was basically one of the weaker ones in terms of combat power.

By the way, the Medicine Clan should also send people over this time, right?

Thinking of this, Yao Chen frowned. It was obvious that because of his past experiences in the family, Yao Chen did not have such a good impression of the family he was born into.

Feng Xian keenly noticed the change in Yao Chen's eyes. Having been together for many years, Feng Xian immediately understood what Yao Chen was thinking. However, she did not say any words of comfort. She just reached out and gently held Yao Chen's hand, which made Yao Chen suddenly stunned. He turned his head to look at Feng Xian's gaze and read her words from her eyes.

Don't worry, I'll always be by your side.

Yao Chen was stunned for a long while, then gradually came to his senses. He was very moved and nodded slightly to Feng Xian.

That's right, how good are our lives now? Why do you keep thinking about those guys? Isn't it just making yourself uncomfortable?
Yao Chen calmed down, and with a slight movement of his jade hand he opened the space barrier of Xingyun Pavilion, then glanced at Xun'er.

"Xun'er girl, come in."

"Thank you, Senior Yao Chen."

Xun'er nodded slightly, followed Yao Chen and Feng Xian, and entered the Xingyun Pavilion side by side with Qingluan.

Halfway through the entrance, Yao Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.

"Xun'er, you will see something that may stimulate you later. I hope you can be mentally prepared in advance."

Yao Chen had always known about Xun'er's feelings for Xiao Yan, and he said this in advance to let Xun'er prepare. Xun'er also knew from the letter sent back by Gu Qinghan that Xiao Yan had brought his wife and children to Xingyun Pavilion, and she had already made sufficient preparations for this. After hearing Yao Chen's words, she responded very firmly and expressed her attitude to her.

She had already made all the necessary preparations, in every aspect.

But, how does that sentence go?

Being prepared in advance does not mean that you can accept it calmly when it really happens. These are two different things.

"Daddy!"

Just after walking for a while into Xingyun Pavilion, Xun'er heard the sound of children playing in the square in the distance. The word "Daddy" was like a bolt from the blue, which instantly set Xun'er off.

Without even thinking about it, Xun'er knew who the "Daddy" was calling.

Looking towards the square in the distance, he saw Xiao Xiao riding on Xiao Yan's neck. Yun Xiao was also raising her hand to Xiao Yan from below, obviously wanting Xiao Yan to carry her on his back as well.

Zi Yan, Zi Jing, Xiao Yi Xian and Feng Qing Er were also playing with the children. It was a very happy scene and one could feel the overflowing happiness just by watching.

But to Xun'er, this happy scene was like a knife piercing deeply into her heart, and the expression on her face could no longer be maintained.

Why am I a bystander? It was obviously me who did it first.
Xun'er's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Yao Chen, who was walking in front, also noticed Xun'er's emotional changes and felt helpless in his heart.

This disciple of mine is good in every way except his emotional aspect.

But soon, Yao Chen's eyes revealed surprise, because she found that Xun'er's depression only lasted for a few seconds, and then she quickly recovered, and even the temperament she exuded became extremely resolute.

Perhaps it was because she had made preparations in advance, or perhaps it was because Xun'er's purpose this time was extremely clear, which made her quickly get out of her depression. Her eyes were filled with the glow of hope, and she stared at Xiao Yan who was playing with the children in the square.

"Hmm? Senior Yao, you guys are back? And Elder Xuanyi is here too?" Xiao Yan had just taken Xiao Xiao off his neck and held him in his arms. He turned around and saw Yao Chen and the others standing outside the square. Then he noticed Keren following behind Yao Chen, "Xun'er?"

"Xun'er?!"

The Little Medical Fairy was stunned suddenly, and she looked in the direction Xiao Yan was looking, and saw Xun'er with a smile on her face. She looked at the children next to her with a strange expression, and a question popped up in her heart.

Can she bear this stimulation?
Last time at least it was just my own verbal ridicule and I didn’t see the real thing, so to be honest the excitement was just that at best.

But now Xiao Yan’s wife and children are here, and they are visibly happy. She must be biting her teeth with anger, right?

"Xun'er? Xiao Yan's sister?"

Feng Qing'er also looked over. She and Xun'er didn't actually have much in common. They only spent a few days together when Xun'er came to Xingyun Pavilion last time. At first, she naively thought that she and Xiao Yan were just siblings, but later, when she thought about it carefully, she found that it didn't seem to be the case.

When Zi Yan saw Xun'er, her deep pupils froze for a moment, and then immediately returned to her heartless and straightforward look. She flashed and appeared not far from Xun'er and pounced towards her.

"Sister Xun'er! Long time no see!"

Looking at the tall, purple-haired lady rushing towards her, Xun'er didn't react for a moment. When Zi Yan put her arms around her neck and rubbed back and forth in her arms, Xun'er finally realized what was going on and looked at Zi Yan in her arms in astonishment.

"You are Zi Yan?"

"Yeah! Am I beautiful now?"

Zi Yan let go of Xun'er and raised her head proudly. Xun'er looked at Zi Yan's figure, which was a little fuller than her own, and her expression looked very strange.

It’s not that Xun’er cares so much about her figure, it’s just that Zi Yan was just a little girl before, and suddenly she grew up so big, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"Xun'er."

At this moment, a familiar voice coming from her ears made Xun'er suddenly startled, and then she saw Xiao Yan walking towards her holding Xiao Xiao, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Long time no see." Xiao Yan held Xiao Xiao in one hand and reached out with the other hand to rub Xun'er's soft black hair, his eyes full of tenderness, "The little girl who always followed me when I was a child has now grown into such a beautiful girl."

"Brother Xiao Yan."

Feeling Xiao Yan's long-lost touch and listening to Xiao Yan's gentle voice that she hadn't heard for a long time, Xun'er suddenly froze in place. Looking at the undisguised tenderness in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er's heart uncontrollably softened with a slight tremor.

It was this genuine tenderness that made Xun'er decide that Xiao Yan was the only one for her in this life.

However, at this moment, Xun'er understood better than anyone that Xiao Yan's incomparably pure tenderness was really just the tenderness that a brother showed to his sister whom he had not seen for many years.

This time for sure.
There was fire in the depths of Xun'er's eyes, her jade hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves, and her inner determination was becoming stronger and stronger.

Just when Xun'er's fighting spirit was about to reach its peak, a childish questioning voice suddenly interrupted her, like a basin of cold water poured directly from head to toe on her fighting spirit that had just been ignited.

"Daddy, daddy." Xiao Xiao in his arms pulled Xiao Yan's collar and looked at Xun'er with puzzled eyes, "Who is this sister?"

Xiao Xiao's question was so innocent, she was really curious about who this beautiful sister was whom she had never met.

Hearing this question, Xun'er's body suddenly stiffened, while Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiao with eyes full of doting and answered softly.

"Xiaoxiao, this is not my sister, this is Aunt Xun'er~"

"Aunt Xun'er?"

Xiao Xiao opened her little eyes and looked at Xiao Yan, then turned to look at Xun'er, and then with a smile on her face, she raised her little hand very politely to Xun'er.

"Hello, Aunt Xun'er~"

Hearing Xiao Xiao's innocent greeting in front of her, Xun'er's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly. If one could see through her eyes, one could even see the veins on her arms bulging under her clothes.

After a long time, Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief, with a gentle smile on her face that was almost indistinguishable from real. She stretched out her jade hand, pinched Xiao Xiao's small hand, and gently moved it up and down.

"Hello, I'm Aunt Xun'er~"

At this moment, the little medical fairy in the distance quietly watched this scene, and her eyes looking at Xun'er revealed pity and deep admiration (End of this chapter)
