Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"Xiao Yan."

Fenghuang looked at Xiao Yan who suddenly appeared in astonishment. She was not only surprised that Xiao Yan appeared here, but she was even more surprised that she, a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, was protected by Xiao Yan, who was at the peak of the Nine-turn Dou Zun?

This was the first time that Phoenix had encountered such a novel experience, but Phoenix, who was always so proud, didn't even find it disgusting?
"Senior Phoenix, are you okay?"

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Fenghuang worriedly while holding the Inferno Ruler. Fenghuang came to her senses and was about to speak when an iron fist dropped from the sky and hit Xiao Yan's head hard.

Boom!
"You really forgot what you just said, didn't you?!!"

Cai Lin's roar, accompanied by an explosion, rang in Xiao Yan's ears. Perhaps it was Cai Lin's fist, or perhaps it was Cai Lin's deafening roar, which made Xiao Yan see stars. He bent over and covered his head for a long time without recovering, and couldn't help muttering.

"pain"

“Just let it hurt you to death! I won’t have to worry about you all day long!” Cai Lin pulled Xiao Yan’s ear and cursed angrily, then turned to look at Zi Yun, “And you! Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on him? Why did you let him go?!”

"not me."

Ziyun pointed at herself blankly, opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. She had always been wild and unrestrained, but at this moment, there was a hint of grievance on her face.

Is it because I don't want to stop it?

Oh my god! We just rushed over, and before we could even stand firm and guard against the surrounding beasts, Xiao Yan jumped over like a rabbit! Who could react in time?

Yao Chen next to him also smiled bitterly. From the helplessness on his face, it can be seen that Yao Chen was really not surprised at all about Xiao Yan's behavior.

Although Cai Lin accused Zi Yun of dereliction of duty, she actually knew very well what kind of person Xiao Yan was. She knew that this matter could not be blamed on Zi Yun's failure to take good care of it.

I am a peak 9th level Dou Zun, and I am here to protect a 4th level Dou Sheng early stage like I am sending myself to death? Only a fool like Xiao Yan can do such a thing!
“Get lost! Stay at the back! If you dare to take a step forward, I will break your legs today!” Cai Lin grabbed Xiao Yan’s collar and threw him behind him, then turned his gaze to Feng Huang, “We can talk later if you have anything to say, let’s deal with these beasts first.”

The corners of Fenghuang's mouth twitched slightly. In all her years of life, except for Feng Li's death in front of her and when she faced her enemies, it was rare for Fenghuang to almost lose control of her expression.

Although it was just a few words, Fenghuang immediately understood what Cai Lin was angry about, and her eyes were full of helplessness.

I have to admit that my nephew's husband has a very difficult personality. Qing'er must have worried about this a lot in the past.

But, just like Cai Lin said.

Phoenix collected his thoughts, glanced at the surrounding ferocious beasts, and threw the still unconscious Jiufeng in his hand to Xiao Yan.

"Help me watch for a while."

Immediately, Phoenix's fighting spirit exploded, and it exploded at the same time as Cai Lin tacitly understood. With the help of Yao Chen and others, they worked together to eliminate these ferocious beasts. Although Ying Huang and Kun Huang did not know these people who suddenly appeared, Phoenix looked obviously an acquaintance. The confidence that had just been depressed suddenly increased, and they became more excited to fight against the ferocious beasts.

Several Dousheng-level warriors joined forces to defeat the ferocious beasts in front of them, which were at most half-saint level. The result was naturally unquestionable. In just ten minutes, the beast tide that was as mighty as a black tide was wiped out by everyone working together.

During this period, Xiao Yan might have been scared off by Cai Lin's scolding, or more likely he saw that the situation at hand really did not need him, so he kept protecting the unconscious Jiu Feng and leaned back, but his eyes were always fixed on the battlefield.

Bang!
After the last ferocious beast was easily burned to ashes by the Yaotian Fire, all the ferocious beasts around it were silent without exception. This was because Cai Lin and the others used their fighting spirit to forcibly attack them, which meant that most of the ferocious beasts did not leave any corpses. However, the overflowing bright red had created a bloody land in this wasteland, and the smell of blood was lingering. Anyone who saw this scene would be horrified.

"Huh~ There are really a lot of these ferocious beasts. I am a little tired of killing them."

Yao Tianhuo grinned and shook his hands lightly. It was the first time he felt tired in all the years since he broke through to the Douluo level. It showed how many ferocious beasts there were this time.

(If I were alone, I would not be able to handle it.)
Yao Tianhuo thought so, and then turned his head to look to the other side, only to see Jiufeng lying on the ground, Yao Chen was helping to check the situation, and the others were also gathered there, and in the center of the crowd, Xiao Yan was kneeling on the ground uncomfortably, and Cai Lin, who was opposite him, was folding her arms, staring down at Xiao Yan in her high heels. Xiao Yan didn't dare to look up and look at Cai Lin, and only dared to stare at Cai Lin's pair of slender legs like white jade. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.

Xiao Yan's feeling this time was very clear. He clearly felt that Cai Lin was really angry.

Cai Lin just kept staring at Xiao Yan's head without saying a word. This invisible pressure made Xiao Yan feel even more uncomfortable.

After a long while, Cai Lin finally spoke slowly.

"Xiao Yan, I want to ask you, what is your current strength?"

"Nine-Nine Transformations to the Peak of Dou Zun"

Xiao Yan replied tremblingly, and Cai Lin continued to ask.

"What is the strength of the Phoenix?"

"Early stage of four-star Dou Sheng."

Xiao Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, but Cai Lin's tone became colder and colder.

"Then, my dear husband, your wife Cai Lin will ask you one last question." Cai Lin stamped her feet suddenly, frightening Xiao Yan so much that he trembled all over. Even without looking up, he could feel Cai Lin's piercing gaze. "Does a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage need a nine-turn Dou Zun peak to come out and save him?"

"Probably. It's not really necessary."

Xiao Yan's lips trembled slightly as he gave this reply.

Obviously, this answer rekindled Cai Lin's anger, which had just subsided a little, and her beautiful eyes were already filled with raging anger.

"It shouldn't be necessary, Xiao Yan! Do you think I'm a fool? How dare you treat me perfunctorily even now?!"

Cai Lin was really angry. Even now, Xiao Yan could still say the word "should", which meant that Xiao Yan didn't realize his mistake at all. If the same thing happened again, he would still do the same thing!

"You are serious!!!" Cai Lin raised her fist angrily and wanted to smash it at Xiao Yan to vent her anger, but her fist was raised for a long time and she couldn't bring it down.

Firstly, she was afraid that she could not control her emotions and might hurt Xiao Yan. Secondly, as Cai Lin had said before, she valued Xiao Yan because of his character which made her extremely angry now. From the moment she decided to treat Xiao Yan as her husband, she should have realized this. Now, she was still pursuing the issue, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

I chose the man myself, so I endured it! I accepted it!!!

Cai Lin put down her raised fist again with great difficulty. From this, it can be seen that Cai Lin has really changed a lot after following Xiao Yan over the years. Not to mention anything else, if Cai Lin, who used to be self-willed, encountered such a thing, she would not care about things like she should be aware of her own choices and would not stop until she beat Xiao Yan up to extinguish the anger in her heart!
During the whole process from beginning to end, Phoenix had been standing by and watching. Although his expression did not change much, his eyes revealed only one emotion: confusion.

Fenghuang was struggling over whether she should go up and speak for Xiao Yan. After all, it was Xiao Yan who made Cai Lin so angry in order to help her.

But then again, they are a couple, and it is normal for a couple to quarrel. As an outsider, it seems that I shouldn't get involved. If I open my mouth, I might just add fuel to the fire.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Phoenix decided to sit on the sidelines and watch. At worst, she could thank Xiao Yan alone later. Although Phoenix felt that it was unnecessary, after all, even if Xiao Yan did not come out to help at that time, the beast would not be able to break her defense even if it bit her.

However, Xiao Yan's personality is indeed quite troublesome.

Fenghuang nodded slightly with a headache, she could understand why Cai Lin was so angry, Xiao Yan's character could be described as brave and fearless to put it nicely, but reckless to put it bluntly, when faced with any matter, he only considered whether he should do it, instead of whether he could do it.

If her future husband had such a personality, Fenghuang estimated that she would be even angrier than Cai Lin.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Phoenix."

At this time, Yao Chen came over and greeted Fenghuang with a smile on his beautiful and delicate face. Fenghuang glanced at Xiao Yan's teacher and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even Fenghuang had to admit that Yao Chen's appearance and image were several times superior to her own. Anyone who saw Yao Chen would have a thought in their mind at the first moment, that is, this woman was the most perfect image of a woman, and even if one nitpicked, one could not find any problems with her.

However, Fenghuang had heard from Feng Qing'er that although teacher Xiao Yan was impeccably beautiful, she had an extremely bad personality and had offended many people in Zhongzhou because of this.

This can be considered as God's fairness. He gave Yao Chen a supreme appearance, and also gave her a personality that is extremely bad even if you ignore her gender. This bad personality even makes other people ignore her beauty given by God.

"I have just checked on Young Master Jiufeng's condition. He is fine and should be able to wake up in a while."

"Well, thank you."

Fenghuang nodded slightly, Yao Chen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it, and then asked.

"Your Excellency Phoenix, are the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan coming to the Savage Ancient Territory this time also for the Ancient Bodhi Tree?"

"Ah, it just so happens that Jiufeng has been stuck at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun for a few years. After hearing the news that the ancient Bodhi tree was born, he ordered us to bring him here to try to seize the opportunity." Phoenix frowned slightly as he said this. "However, the situation is indeed beyond my expectations. Regarding the Savage Ancient Domain, my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan also left some records. At least in those records, there is no such a large-scale and powerful tide of beasts."

"If my guess is correct, this is probably caused by the ancient Bodhi tree. Since it can elevate a group of fierce beasts to such a terrifying level, the ancient Bodhi tree this time must be dozens of times more dangerous than what is recorded. With Jiufeng's strength, I am afraid that I cannot afford this opportunity. Therefore, I have no intention of competing for the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree this time."

What Fenghuang said was very rational and sober. For an opportunity like this that only comes once in a thousand years, the more dangerous it is, the greater the return.

However, the rate of return is the rate of return, and before that you have to carefully weigh the risks you face, otherwise even if the opportunity comes to you, it will only be a death warrant.

After listening to Fenghuang's words, Yao Chen nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency Phoenix's guess is the same as mine. There are indeed too many variables in the ancient Bodhi tree this time."

"From the looks of you, you should be protecting Xiao Yan to seize the opportunity, right?"

Fenghuang glanced at the other people. Without exception, they were all Dou Shengs, except for Xiao Yan, who was at the peak of the 9th level of Dou Zun. It was obvious for whom they were trying to obtain the opportunity to obtain the ancient Bodhi tree this time.

Phoenix's question made Yao Chen put his hands behind his back and answer helplessly.

"Yes, Xiao Yan has been stuck at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun for a year. Now many things urgently need him to break through to the semi-saint level, including Feng Qing'er's. This is such a rare opportunity, we have to give it a try anyway. We are here for insurance. If there is any accident, our knowledge may be able to help."

"That's it."

Fenghuang nodded in understanding. If Yao Chen hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that Xiao Yan hadn't gotten Huang Tian's approval yet. To be more precise, they hadn't even met in person. If he could make a breakthrough to the Saint level this time, he would have the confidence to meet Huang Tian.

At this time, the Eagle Phoenix on the other side came over and asked the Phoenix softly.

"Sister Phoenix, what should we do now? Should we go back?"

Hearing Eagle Phoenix's question, Phoenix did not answer immediately. She glanced at Xiao Yan, who was still kneeling in front of Cai Lin and dared not stand up. A light flashed in her beautiful eyes. After thinking for a while, she spoke to Yao Chen.

"In that case, let me lend you a hand. I also hope that he can break through to Dou Sheng as soon as possible."

What Fenghuang said was naturally for Feng Qing'er. After all, Yinghuang was still beside her, so she couldn't say it too clearly.

Since Xiao Yan didn't get Huang Tian's approval, Feng Qing'er could only hide in Xingyun Pavilion. Huang Tian had told her several times to let Feng Qing'er return to the clan. Although she had been helping to perfunctorily, there would always be a day when she could no longer do so.

However, Eagle Huang had no idea of ​​Phoenix's true intention. When he heard Phoenix say that she hoped Xiao Yan could quickly break through to the Dou Sheng level, and even felt from her tone that he was given higher priority than Jiu Feng, the son of the clan leader, Eagle Huang instantly remembered the gossip that Jiu Feng had secretly told them before.

Could it be that what Master Jiufeng said was true? That boy named Xiao Yan is really Sister Fenghuang's man? !
After Ying Huang came to this conclusion and thinking about what happened before, he became more certain of his guess.

If the two of them really had no relationship, how could Xiao Yan, a peak 9th level Dou Zun, rush up to protect the Phoenix without fear of death?

Then Eagle Phoenix quietly retreated, came to Kun Huang, and whispered something in his ear. Although the specific content was unknown, one could guess the general idea just by looking at Kun Huang's shocked eyes looking back and forth between Xiao Yan and the Phoenix.

At this point, because of Jiu Feng's irresponsible gossip, their misunderstanding of the relationship between Feng Huang and Xiao Yan became deeper and deeper (End of this chapter)
