Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Xiao Yan, who was the only one left in the negotiation room, sat down slowly. He looked at the hand he had just stretched out but was ignored by Lei Dong, and frowned slightly.

Obviously, Lei Dong is different from Yao Tian and Huo Xuan. If Yao Tian and Huo Xuan really have the idea of ​​forming an alliance, then Lei Dong agreed to their proposal purely for the purpose of finding fault. In other words, Lei Dong and the other two have different fundamental goals, so it is natural that they did not shake hands.

Xiao Yan leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what you do, if you can't even take the first step, forget about the rest. No matter what Lei Dong's intentions are, at least he has pulled people in, and he can always find a way to solve the problem later.

At this time, Zijing pushed the door open and looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting on the chair.

"Father, are you done talking?"

"Well, I have achieved my goal." Xiao Yan stood up, put one hand on his face, and looked at Zijing in confusion, "Where is Yunying? I didn't see her when I came here today."

"The leader happened to have a breakthrough these two days and has been in seclusion. At present, Sister Qinghan and I will temporarily handle the leader's work."

Zijing replied like this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, put his hands together and lightly rested them on his chin, frowned and thought. Seeing this, Zijing did not say anything to disturb him, but just stood quietly beside him.

The Medicine Clan, the Yan Clan, and the Thunder Clan, these three families have already been connected. As for the Ancient Clan, I will ask Qinghan and Xun'er to introduce them, and it will not be difficult to get in touch with them later.

As for the Xiao clan, I heard that it had declined a thousand years ago. Now, they are said to be one of the eight ancient clans, but in fact only seven remain.

The Soul Clan is behind the Soul Palace, but as of now, it should be impossible to form an alliance with the Soul Clan. Just the things that the Soul Palace was instructed to do were unacceptable to Xiao Yan, and forming an alliance was even more impossible.

But if we count this way, there are still two missing?
"Zijing, are they the only ones coming this time? What about the other two tribes?"

Xiao Yan asked doubtfully. Apart from the Soul Clan that had a grudge against Xiao Yan, only four of the remaining six clans came. The Tianhe Alliance was able to attract the three clans of Lei, Yan, and Yao, so the remaining two clans should not have been silent at all.

When Zijing heard Xiao Yan's question, she was slightly startled, and then spoke with a serious expression.

"I wanted to report to you earlier. From what I learned from Sister Xun'er's battle with the Soul Palace, the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan have been wiped out by the Soul Clan, so we didn't send anyone this time."

"What?!" Xiao Yan stood up suddenly, his face full of solemnity, "Is this news reliable?"

Although this news was shocking, it could not be confirmed to be true without seeing it with one's own eyes. Zijing naturally understood this and spoke slowly, pinching her chin lightly.

"I suspected this as well, but I heard from Sister Xun'er that this was the information given by the Great Celestial Master of the Soul Palace when he thought he would win. There is no reason for a dying person to lie, so I think it should be true."

"."

Xiao Yan was silent, sat down slowly, and fell into deep thought again.

In the past few years, he had also heard about the eight ancient tribes from various channels. Any one of them could wipe out Zhongzhou. This was definitely no joke. The eight tribes were truly at the top of the world.

But precisely because of this, the eight tribes have maintained a balance among themselves for many years. Unless one of the tribes is confident that it has the strength to wipe out the other six tribes, if it takes action against the other eight tribes without authorization, it will only end up being attacked by all of them.

If the Soul Clan really destroyed the Stone and Spirit Clan, it was either because of their inflated self-confidence or because they really possessed the strength to do so. Regardless of the reason, if a war among the eight clans broke out because of this incident, I am afraid that the entire continent would be destroyed.

"Has this matter been reported back to the Eight Clans?"

Xiao Yan asked in a serious tone, and Zijing nodded.

"Yes, the day after they returned from the Savage Ancient Territory, they sent someone back to the tribe to report the matter."

".Trouble."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a headache. He had just taken a step when his way was cut off by a sword out of thin air. If the remaining eight clans really formed a group to attack the Soul Clan, then it would no longer matter whether they formed an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance or not. It would even be a question whether the Tianhe Alliance could survive after the war, so what was the point of talking about an alliance!
Xiao Yan stood up with a serious expression and walked out, Zijing followed silently behind him. Along the way, Xiao Yan thought about this and that, but still had no solution.

To put it bluntly, the direction of this matter is no longer something that Xiao Yan can control. The only solution is for the four clans of Lei, Yan, Yao and Gu to ignore the actions of the Soul Clan that destroy the balance of the eight clans and pretend not to know.

But is this possible?

Just when Xiao Yan was at a loss, he bumped into someone at the corner. Xiao Yan was about to apologize, but after seeing the other person clearly, the frown on his face relaxed a little.

"Yunying?"

"Xiao Yan?"

The person who came was Yunying, who looked at him in surprise, and this address also made Xiao Yan slightly stunned.

You should know that Yunying always called Xiao Yan "Young Master Xiao" before. Although Xiao Yan did the same before, after getting along with him for a few years, he has gradually started to call him by his name. Yunying still uses the respectful title of "Young Master Xiao".

However, Xiao Yan was very happy that Yunying called him by his name. Calling her Young Master Xiao would inevitably make people feel distant, so he did not pay much attention to this and greeted her with a smile.

"Did the retreat go well?"

"Well, it's going relatively smoothly. I have successfully broken through to the Six-Star Dou Zun level." Yun Ying looked at Xiao Yan, narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, "I was originally planning to go to Xingyun Pavilion to visit you, but because of the two distinguished guests who came today, I had to postpone it. I didn't expect that you have already woken up."

Yunying smiled and said, I don’t know why, I always feel that Yunying’s attitude towards me is gentler than before?

Then Xiao Yan came back to his senses, remembered Yunying's words just now and asked.

"Yunying, you just said that there were two distinguished guests. Who were they?"

Now that the entire Zhongzhou Continent has been brought together under the Tianhe Alliance, and the eight clans have been here for a few days, who else would come to visit at this time? It can't be the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan, right?

Yunying also gave a response to this.

"We heard from their respective leaders that they are the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan from the Eight Ancient Clans. They came here to discuss an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance."

"Um???"

As soon as Yunying finished speaking, Xiao Yan and Zijing were immediately filled with question marks. Xiao Yan even turned around to look at Zijing, and the meaning in his eyes was particularly obvious.

(Didn’t you say that the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan were destroyed by the Soul Clan?)

(I don’t know?)
Zijing was also confused. Could it be that he had heard it wrongly? This shouldn't be the case.

Then Xiao Yan came back to his senses, frowned, and asked Yunying.

"Yunying, where are they?"

"We have arranged for them to stay in the living room for now. We are now preparing to arrange accommodation for them. We were planning to discuss the alliance after you wake up, but since you are already awake, there is no need to waste time."

Yunying said so. Xiao Yan was silent for a while and turned to look at Zijing.

"Zijing, go to the reception room and settle the two Shiling tribes first, I will go there later."

"Ah."

Zijing nodded and walked away. Xiao Yan looked at Yunying again.

"Yunying, I'll take care of this matter right away. I'll leave first."

After saying this, Xiao Yan quickly walked past Yunying without any delay.

Looking at Xiao Yan's receding back, Yun Ying's handsome face gradually turned gloomy. She slightly side-glanced and looked towards the dark corner, and then a voice was heard from there.

"Master Patriarch, the soul of the man you ordered has been captured and brought back to the Soul Palace. The Lord Palace Master sent his subordinates to ask what to do with him?"

"Don't let him live." Yunying's cold voice seemed to come from the underworld, making the people in the dark feel as if their hearts were being tightly grasped by a hand and they broke out in cold sweat.

Just as he was about to respond and report, Yunying spoke again, and this time her voice was a thousand times colder than before.

"Don't let him die either."

"As ordered!"

The man immediately responded in a deep voice, and then Yunying added another sentence.

"By the way, send a message to Hunmiesheng. If any of his men become such talkative again, he will be killed."

"Yes!"

After the man left in fear, Yun Ling walked out from the corner. Looking at Yun Ying's cold face, she couldn't help but smacking her lips.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ It's rare to see you so angry." Yun Ling folded her arms and leaned against the wall, raising her eyebrows in confusion, "Didn't that guy just mention that the stone spirit was destroyed? Is it necessary to be so angry?"

When Yun Ling asked this question, Yun Ying did not respond but glanced at her coldly. The coldness in her scarlet eyes shocked Yun Ling's soul. She immediately stopped teasing and raised her hands quickly.

"Okay! I won't ask anymore!"

Although Yun Ling looked casual, she was extremely nervous inside.

Damn, this guy is really angry!
Just based on the look Yunying gave her just now, Yunling was really worried that she might attack her directly.

It seems that the talkative guy will have a hard time dying this time~
Then the frost on Yunying's face quickly disappeared, and she looked at Yunling and asked.

"You also went to the Savage Ancient Territory this time, right? How did you feel?"

Seeing Yunying regain her handsome smile, Yunling couldn't help but wonder if what she just saw was an illusion.

This woman's mood changes so quickly. She was so angry just now that she wanted to kill someone, but in the blink of an eye, she was like nothing happened.

Then Yun Ling calmed down and curled her lips in disdain.

"Boring, you are really patient enough to play with these ants for such a long time." Yun Ling looked at Yun Ying and frowned slightly. "Come to think of it, I feel like you have been in a good mood since you came back from the ancient Bodhi tree. What good thing happened?"

At least before hearing what Hun Ming said, Yunying had given people the feeling of being as refreshing as spring breeze in the past few days, which made Yun Ling suspect that Yunying's soul, which was so dark that it could not be any darker, had been purified by the ancient Bodhi tree. This also made Yun Ling feel very strange.

What good thing happened to her that made her so happy?
In response, Yunying smiled softly but did not say anything.

"It was just an unforgettable dream." Yunying did not dwell on this topic for long, and asked, "Have you decided on the matter I discussed with you earlier?"

"."

Hearing Yunying asking this, Yunling's face suddenly fell, and his brows couldn't help but tremble. After being a human for so many years, Yunling found that his expressions were becoming more and more rich, especially when facing Yunying.

After a long silence, Yun Ling finally spoke slowly.

"To be honest, I still doubt whether you are lying to me." Yun Ling frowned and said in a deep voice, "But I also feel that even if you are lying to me, there is no need to use such an excuse that shows no trust. This makes me very conflicted."

"As for the reply, please wait for some time. I don't trust you yet."

Yun Ling was so outspoken that she didn't even try to guard against accidentally offending Yun Ying as she usually did.

After all, the thing that Yunying discussed with him was equivalent to breaking up with him when she said it out of her mouth, so there was no point in going along with her.

Yunying was not annoyed when she heard Yunling's answer, and chuckled.

"No hurry, it's still early, you can take your time to think about it."

In the main hall of the Soul Palace, the Soul Palace Master Hun Mie Sheng was listening to the report from his subordinate who had just returned from Yun Ying. The more he listened, the darker his face became, especially the last sentence.

[By the way, send a message to Hunmiesheng. If his subordinates are such talkative again, he will be killed.]

As soon as these words came out, Hun Mie Sheng suddenly felt as if his life span had been reduced by half. Cold sweat broke out all over his body and he collapsed in his seat.

It cannot be said that there is no personnel management in the Soul Palace, but it is also in name only. The only requirement is that you must execute the orders given by the Soul Palace. Other than that, you can do whatever you want, even if you bring a big blame upon the Soul Palace. Therefore, Hun Mie Sheng has never paid attention to this aspect.

But now, things are different.

Previously, due to inadequate personnel management, Tushegu Di Yu became Xiao Yu. Yunying simply let the matter go with a simple questioning, which frightened Hun Miesheng so much that he didn't sleep for more than half a month.

But this time, Hun Mie Sheng was almost scared to death. Even though the subordinate in front of him was just repeating Yunying's words in a flat tone, Hun Mie Sheng could feel how angry Yunying was when she said these words.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

After the fear, Hunmie became angry and madly cursed, yelling at His Highness.

"Bring that damn bastard up to me!"

Soon, the soul messenger pulled a broken soul over with a soul lock. It was the Soul Palace's Great Lord Hun Ming.

It was he who thought he had won that day and brazenly revealed to Lei Dong and Xun'er the news that the Shi Ling clan had been annihilated by the Soul clan.

Although he was annihilated by Lei Dong's palm at that time, he was a member of the Soul Clan after all, and there were many ways for him to preserve his soul and escape. This was something that Lei Dong and Xun'er had not expected.

But after escaping, Hunming did not return to the Soul Palace. Having escaped, he was very clear about how big a sin he had committed by speaking, so he kept fleeing with his remaining soul, but was eventually caught.

"Master, please consider that I have served you for so many years."

"Shut your mouth!"

Before Hun Ming could even open his mouth to beg for mercy, Hun Mie Sheng interrupted him angrily.

"You almost killed me this time! You still have the nerve to beg for mercy?!"

It can be seen that Hun Mie Sheng was really mad this time. He lost even the slightest demeanor of the Soul Palace Master and waved his hand.

"Go! Follow the clan leader's orders. Don't let him live, and don't let him die!"

After these words were spoken, Hun Ming's face became extremely ugly.

Just don't let him live, it would be more comfortable.

But the words "Don't let him die" made Hun Ming completely despair.

"Master Palace Master! I have shed sweat for the Soul Palace! I have shed blood for the Soul Palace! Please give me a quick death!" At this time, Hun Ming suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "That's right! That's right! Master Palace Master! I have learned a secret of the Thunder Clan! That Lei Dong."

"Take him away! I don't want to hear him yelling anymore!"

Hun Mie Sheng waved his hand and ordered the soul messenger to drag Hun Ming away. He didn't even want to hear the so-called secret of the Thunder Clan that he mentioned.

As Hun Ming was completely dragged into the abyss of execution, Lei Dong's secret was also completely concealed by accident. (End of this chapter)
