Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"Although I followed you, it's so boring." Outside the Savage Ancient Domain, Xiao Ning squatted on the ground in boredom, turned his head and looked in the direction of the Savage Ancient Domain, "With our strength, we can't go in and cause trouble for Xiao Yan. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Xiao Ning curled his lips. He had been thinking whether there might be some magical beasts blocking the way outside the ancient wilderness that they could fight. However, who knew that the ancient wilderness was deserted. Not to mention magical beasts, there wasn't even a bug.

"Can we have a drink?"

Xiao Ning stood up and looked at Gu Zhen, who was originally standing in front of the Hei Yan army with a serious face. After hearing Xiao Ning's words, the expression on his face trembled very obviously, and he showed a hint of intention.

But soon, his qualities as the commander of the Black Annihilation Army suppressed his desire, and he raised his hand to refuse sternly.

"No, it's work time now, so it's better not to drink."

"Hey~ Don't be so rigid~" Xiao Ning stood up and walked to Gu Zhen's side, stretching out his arm to hug his shoulders, "Anyway, there's nothing to do right now, and you can't get drunk as long as you don't want to. If something happens, you can immediately use your fighting spirit to clear the alcohol smell, right?"

"This"

Gu Zhen's expression revealed hesitation again, and he glanced at Xun'er who was gazing at the ancient wilderness in mid-air.

That's true. There's no danger right now. We don't know how long it will take Xiao Yan and the others to come out. It would be really boring to stay here like this.

Just as Gu Zhen was thinking this and the rejection in his heart was gradually loosening, a roar was heard immediately.

"You really have no manners at all, do you?!"

Along with this roar, a flying kick came directly and hit Xiao Ning's abdomen mercilessly. The latter flew several meters away and rolled on the ground for several times before lying on the ground.

Gu Zhen looked at Xiao Mei, the culprit, with some horror, then looked at Xiao Ning, who was lying on the ground with his body twitching constantly, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

He seemed to understand a little bit, how Xiao Ning developed his physique that could withstand beatings.
At this moment, a voice that made Gu Zhen feel his nerves instinctively tense came into his ears.

"Gu Zhen, did you want to drink just now?"

"No!" Gu Zhen didn't even dare to look at the person coming. He immediately stood up straight and responded firmly and resolutely, "Please rest assured, Commander! Commander Gu Zhen has always been abiding by his duties and will never do anything unrelated to work during working hours!"

"Is it."

Gu Qinghan slowly came into Gu Zhen's sight. When Gu Zhen saw Gu Qinghan, cold sweat broke out on his body and he dared not move at all.

As the exclusive army of the ancient tribe, the Black Annihilation Army has extremely strict selection criteria and strength requirements, and the rules are even more strict. Members must take their duties more seriously than ordinary members of the ancient tribe.

Even Gu Qinghan, who was admired by all the young generations of the ancient clan, attached great importance to the rules of the Black Annihilation Army. It was okay to let the Black Annihilation Army relax when they were not on a mission, but during such a mission, they were absolutely not allowed to take any actions that might cause trouble.

Although Gu Qinghan hasn't taken care of them for three years, the majesty that he has established in the hearts of Gu Zhen and others since childhood cannot be erased in just three years.

Seeing Gu Zhen's look of being faced with a formidable enemy, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but find it a little funny. He raised his hand to cover the corners of his slightly upturned mouth.

She had thought it was nothing before, perhaps because she had been with Xiao Yan for three years and her mentality had changed a lot. Now, seeing her brothers and sisters become tense because of a word from her, she felt inexplicably funny.

But no matter how funny it is, the rules cannot be broken, otherwise the Black Annihilation Army will have no reason to exist.

“Ahem~” Gu Qinghan clenched his fists and coughed twice, then began to teach slowly, “Remember, I can allow you to relax in private, but during the mission you must always remember that you are the Black Oblivion Army. You must clearly distinguish what you should and should not do, and you must not let yourself be careless.”

"Yes! I will follow the instructions of the Grand Commander!"

Gu Zhen responded loudly and seriously again. Gu Qinghan nodded with satisfaction. Then he frowned and looked in the opposite direction of the Savage Ancient Domain.

Since their ancient clan sent out the Black Annihilation Army this time, presumably the other eight ancient clans would also send their family members out to train for the Ancient Bodhi Tree. However, considering that the danger of the Ancient Bodhi Tree this time was far beyond expectations, the other eight ancient clans should not have anticipated that the strength of the people they sent should not be much different from the Black Annihilation Army here.

At this moment, Xun'er, who was looking at the ancient wilderness, noticed something and turned her head to look in the opposite direction. Xuan Yi and Han Feng, who had strong soul power, also noticed something. Han Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Hei Yan army's eyes suddenly became serious. Even Xiao Ning, who had just been lying on the ground in pain, turned over and jumped up, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

In their field of vision, black shadows divided into several clusters were gradually approaching here. In less than half a minute, they crossed a distance of several thousand meters and came in front of everyone. Gu Qinghan, Xun'er and others from the Gu clan recognized each other at a glance.

The Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Medicine Clan are all descendants of the eight ancient clans that are similar to the Ancient Clan!
The Soul Clan is mysterious and no one knows what they are thinking. The Stone and Spirit Clan have always been isolated from the world and have not appeared on the mainland for nearly a thousand years. It is not surprising that these three clans did not show up this time.

As for the last remaining tribe, they were almost exterminated thousands of years ago, so it’s better not to mention them.

Uh. Or rather, the last remaining member of the tribe is already here.

"Hmm? Someone's here already?"

The leader of the Yan tribe, Huo Xuan, who was at the peak of the sixth level of Dou Zun, raised his eyebrows slightly. Huo Zhi, who was at the peak of the fourth level of Dou Zun, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the uniform uniforms of the Hei Yan army.

"Is that the Black Annihilation Army? The leader is the Black Annihilation Army's commander, Gu Qinghan. Sure enough, the Gu Clan is here too. Wait?" Huo Zhi was stunned, looking at the figure in the air in astonishment, "That's... Gu Xun'er?!"

Huo Zhi rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Everyone knew that the Gu clan had treated Xun'er like a treasure in the past few years since Gu Xun'er's divine bloodline was exposed. How could the Gu clan, that well-known old stubborn man, be willing to let Gu Xun'er out?
Han Feng looked at the people from the Medicine Clan. Although they were all young people, Han Feng's light golden eyes were still filled with deep disgust.

Han Feng, who was adopted by Yao Chen since childhood, naturally knew how much injustice Yao Chen had suffered in the Yao clan. Han Feng had no good impression of this family that shared the same blood with his mentor.

Han Feng's look of disgust, which he made no attempt to conceal, was naturally noticed by the two leaders of the Yao clan, Yao Tian and Yao Ling, who were both at the peak of the third level of Dou Zun.

Yao Ling looked at Han Feng's exceptionally outstanding appearance and couldn't help but admire her in her heart. As a woman, she couldn't even feel jealous. But then doubts came to her mind.

"Yaotian, that beautiful sister seems to hate us?"

"Who knows what's going on?"

Yao Tian was also confused. The Yao Clan had always lived in seclusion. Even though the Yao Clan members were arrogant, they had no chance to offend others. It was really strange. By the way, it seemed that the ancient Bodhi tree this time was not something they could touch.
The Yan Clan and the Yao Clan glanced at the ancient wilderness and felt the cold and fearful aura outside, and they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

If the situation is like this just on the periphery, there is no doubt that the situation inside must be even more dangerous.

At that moment, everyone was ready to back out and leave. After all, their family had instructed them before they set out that the opportunity to get the ancient Bodhi tree only depended on luck, and if they encountered danger, they should retreat immediately and never try to be brave.

It is not worth losing the elite members of the family for an ancient Bodhi tree, and it is not certain that you can get it.

What's more, the purpose of their visit this time was not that the ancient Bodhi tree was just an additional item. Their real purpose was to follow the instructions of their family and get in touch with the Tianhe Alliance, the largest alliance standing in Zhongzhou today, especially the founder named Xiao Yan.

Although the current Tianhe Alliance is still very immature in the eyes of the eight high and mighty ancient clans, the three clans are well aware that the family bloodline is fading little by little, and they must find more ways to retreat in the future.

To be honest, an alliance among the eight clans is unlikely as the conflicts of interest are too serious. Even if an alliance is reached, it is hard not to suspect that the other party has ulterior motives. They must find a force that is under the control of their own family. Naturally, the Tianhe Alliance, which has been in the limelight in recent years, has become their target.

If the Bodhi tree doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that we can just turn around and go to the Tianhe Alliance.

Just as the Yan Clan and the Yao Clan were about to leave without any further delay, the handsome and heroic young man leading the Thunder Clan saw Xun'er in mid-air. The serious expression on his face suddenly showed joy. He flashed in front of Xun'er, his eyes full of excitement.

"Xun'er! Long time no see!"

As he spoke, the young man extended his hand towards Xun'er, but Xun'er dodged it with a gloomy look on her face. She did not show any good looks to the handsome and heroic young man.

"Master Lei, men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself. Besides, we are not that close, please call me Ms. Gu."

After hearing what Xun'er said, all the Black Yan Army soldiers below couldn't help but complain.

Miss, you were almost sticking to Xiao Yan a few days ago, and now you know that there shouldn't be physical contact between men and women?
Oh yo? Have fun?

The Yan Clan and the Yao Clan, who were originally preparing to leave, also stopped and watched this scene with interest.

Of course, having fun is one thing, the most important thing is that the Thunder Clan and the Ancient Clan have had exchanges that have caused concern among the other eight clans. If that happens, they must return to their clans immediately to report the matter.

At this time, Xiao Ning put his hand on Gu Zhen's shoulder and whispered in his ear. Xiao Mei, who was standing next to him, also sneaked over to eavesdrop.

"Hey, who is that man?"

"I heard that Lei Dong, the son of the chief of the Thunder Clan, has broken through to the late stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng some time ago. Among all the young generations of the eight ancient clans, he is only inferior to the eldest lady."

One-star Douluo in the late stage, not to mention in the Thunder Clan, even in all the eight clans, he is the best of the younger generation. Currently, except for the always mysterious Soul Clan, the truth is still unclear. Among the younger generation of the eight ancient clans, only Gu Xun'er of the Ancient Clan is stronger than Lei Dong.

Gu Zhen carefully glanced at Xun'er who was confronting Lei Dong, and whispered in Xiao Ning's ear.

"In addition, the leader of the Thunder Clan had proposed marriage to the eldest lady's father before, and many elders in the Ancient Clan also agreed. Although no actual conclusion has been made, many people have already regarded the eldest lady and Lei Dong as having an engagement."

"Ehhhh?! Engagement?!"

Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at this moment Xun'er's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"That marriage contract was just the wishful thinking of my father and the elders. I have never approved of it." Xun'er said sternly, staring coldly at Gu Zhen, "Commander Gu Zhen, could you please stop spreading gossip in the future?"

"Alas!"

It was rare to see Xun'er with such a tough and cold attitude. Gu Zhen was so scared that his body stood straight, his heart beat violently involuntarily, and his brain went blank for a moment.

However, for some reason, Hu Jia, who should have had the biggest reaction when hearing that Xun'er had an engagement, now frowned and stared at Lei Dong who was sitting opposite Xun'er.

It’s strange. I was always feeling uncomfortable just because Xiao Yan and Xun’er were close to each other, so why didn’t Lei Dong’s behavior make me feel angry at all?

And it seems that there is a sense of closeness for some unknown reason?
Then Xun'er turned her gaze back to Lei Dong in front of her and spoke in an extremely firm voice.

"Master Lei, as I just said, the relationship between you and me is just a private decision made by our elders. I have never accepted it. What's more, I already have a lover. Please don't bother me again in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lei Dong's expression froze and his face became gloomy.

"Sweetheart? Xun'er, you never told me."

"Master Lei, I have reminded you that we are not that familiar with each other. Please call me Ms. Gu." Xun'er's eyes became colder, and then she continued, "Who is my sweetheart? What does it have to do with you? Why do I have to tell you?"

Xun'er was not stupid. Of course she knew how much trouble exposing Xiao Yan would bring him. It was right that she would not marry anyone but Xiao Yan at this moment. She even used extraordinary means for this purpose a few days ago. Although she failed, Xun'er knew very well that it would be difficult for her to move up a step in Xiao Yan's heart. Even if Xiao Yan himself would not care, Xun'er would never accept herself adding unnecessary burden to Xiao Yan.

Seeing that Xun'er was unwilling to reveal the man's name, Lei Dong's eyes became even more serious. But when he thought that Xun'er came here but did not go in, but instead stayed here, he immediately understood something in his heart.

"Your sweetheart should have entered the Savage Ancient Domain, right?"

"."

Xun'er's expression didn't change at all, but there was no doubt that her silence had silently answered Lei Dong's question.

In other words, no matter Xun'er answered or not, the result would be the same. Lei Dong was not a fool. Seeing that she came to the ancient wilderness but stayed on the periphery, it was impossible for him not to guess what was going on.

"Really? So he's inside." Lei Dong's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes revealing fiery jealousy and fighting spirit, "Since you are willing to wait outside, then I have to go in and see what kind of man is worthy of you."

After these words were spoken, Xun'er's cold expression finally changed, and golden flames of anger burned in her eyes.

"You dare?!" (End of this chapter)
