Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Tianhe Alliance, outside a room, the four clans of Lei, Yan, Yao and Gu were watching Xiao Mei's drama inside the room. The two pairs of siblings Yao Tian and Huo Xuan, who had finished talking with Xiao Yan before, also went in. Outside the room, Lei Dong was leaning against the wall and talking to Xun'er.

"What? You want to be Brother Xiao Yan's deputy?"

Xun'er looked at Lei Dong in astonishment, and the latter nodded slightly.

"Ah~ I wanted to see with my own eyes whether he was worthy of you, so I agreed to his proposal on the condition that I become his deputy."

"."

Xun'er looked at Lei Dong speechlessly, and then sighed slowly.

She also realized that Lei Dong was purely trying to find fault with Xiao Yan.

However, Xun'er was not worried. Having grown up together, she knew Xiao Yan too well. Xiao Yan was the kind of person whose faults were hard to find even with a magnifying glass.

"Then please do as you please."

Xun'er smiled helplessly, and Lei Dong raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"You don't seem worried?"

"What am I worried about?" Xun'er shrugged. "I know Brother Xiao Yan, and I believe in him. I may not be able to explain it to you clearly now, but you will understand it naturally after you spend some time with him."

Looking at Xun'er's confident expression, Lei Dong wrinkled his nose unhappily, and then sighed deeply.

"He has married so many wives. I don't know what you like about him."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xun'er's face suddenly turned dark.

Yes, he had married so many wives, but she was the only one excluded. Xun'er gnashed her teeth whenever she thought of this matter. She hated herself for not making progress in the past when she was in the Xiao family. She had let so many good opportunities go by herself. Just thinking about it made Xun'er very angry.

But then Xun'er's expression returned to normal, and she stood with her hands behind her back to comfort Xiao Yan.

"Then why not think about it the other way around? If Brother Xiao Yan was really not a good person, he wouldn't be able to marry so many wives, right?"

"."

Lei Dong was speechless for a moment, and looked at Xun'er with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Xun'er, you are the eldest daughter of the ancient clan. You don't really want to marry a man who has several wives, do you?"

That's the Ancient Clan, the most powerful of the eight ancient clans. Even the Aorulean Clan has to admit this fact. As the daughter of the Ancient Clan's chief, Xun'er would have a large group of young men rushing to ask for her hand in marriage even if she wanted to marry into the clan. But now, she is willing to be Xiao Yan's mistress?
When Xun'er heard Lei Dong's words, anger immediately appeared on her face.

"Don't mention my identity as the eldest lady of the Ancient Clan to me! If it weren't for this identity, I would have been with Brother Xiao Yan a long time ago!"

When it comes to this, Xun'er gnashed her teeth in hatred. How many things have been delayed by the position of a young lady of an ancient clan? Even her future has to be controlled by a group of elders. If she had a choice, Xun'er would definitely throw this identity away as soon as possible.

Looking at Xun'er's angry expression, Lei Dong was slightly startled. He could see that Xun'er really hated the identity of the eldest lady of the ancient clan, only because this identity hindered her relationship with Xiao Yan. This made Lei Dong curl his lips in displeasure and slightly tilted his head and whispered.

"If you weren't the eldest daughter of the Ancient Clan, you might not even know him."

"I"

Xun'er was about to say something in rebuttal, but soon lost her temper.

There was indeed something wrong with what Lei Dong said. If she was not Gu Yuan's daughter, she would not be able to go to the Xiao family and would not have the chance to meet Xiao Yan.

I was able to get to know Xiao Yan because of this identity, and the relationship between me and Xiao Yan could not go further because of this identity. It is really difficult for humans to judge whether something is good or bad.

At this moment, Xun'er raised her eyebrows and turned around to see Xiao Yan walking towards them quickly at the end of the corridor. The depression on Xun'er's face disappeared and she waved happily.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Lei Dong glanced sideways and looked at Xiao Yan who was walking towards him unkindly. Xiao Yan didn't say much nonsense and asked.

"Xun'er, where is Qinghan?"

"Sister Qinghan said that the Tianhe League had some unfinished business, so she left first."

Xun'er answered truthfully. Xiao Yan frowned, then turned his gaze to Lei Dong and stared at him, causing Lei Dong to glare at him unhappily.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Lei Dong, let me ask you, have you ever seen anyone from the Stone Clan or the Spirit Clan?"

"what?"

Lei Dong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xiao Yan suddenly asked this. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw Xun'er glaring at him, he curled his lips reluctantly.

"I've met them a few times before, but I'm not very familiar with them. However, the two tribes themselves are relatively easy to recognize, and their characteristics are quite obvious."

When Xiao Yan heard this, he nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"What's the trouble?"

Lei Dong raised his eyebrows, and Xiao Yan spoke directly.

"Please do me a favor. Didn't you say you wanted to be my assistant? This is also a chance for you to get familiar with the job."

"Huh? You really want to use me as your subordinate?" Lei Dong laughed and pointed at Xiao Yan, "I'm telling you, I'm just being nice. I'll go with you!"

Lei Dong, who originally wanted to ridicule Xiao Yan, lost his temper when he caught a glimpse of Xun'er's angry eyes. He nodded with gritted teeth, and Xiao Yan nodded.

"Come with me."

Xiao Yan turned and left. Lei Dong glared at his back angrily, while Xun'er urged him from the side.

"Hurry up and follow him. Brother Xiao Yan must have something special to ask you, so don't slack off."

"."

Lei Dong looked at Xun'er who was giving serious instructions, and felt sad.

This girl really puts her heart entirely on Xiao Yan.

"Ugh"

Lei Dong sighed deeply, then followed Xiao Yan. Xun'er put her hands behind her back and watched the two people leaving, narrowing her eyes and smiling slightly.

(I hope they can get along well~)

Then Xun'er turned and walked into the room. She hadn't watched the drama filmed by Xiao Mei for a long time. Now she had nothing to do, so it was a good opportunity to kill time.

The camera turned and Xiao Yan and Lei Dong were walking in the corridor. Lei Dong walked quickly side by side with Xiao Yan and asked with a frown.

"What do you want from me? You should tell me in advance, right?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Zijing heard from you and Xun'er earlier that the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan were annihilated by the Soul Clan. Is that true?"

When Lei Dong heard Xiao Yan mention this, his eyes froze for a moment and his expression became serious.

"Yes, that Soul Palace Great Celestial Venerable said it himself. We have also passed the news back to our respective families. I think we will be able to discuss the outcome of this matter soon."

“Could it be possible that it’s fake news?”

"Unlikely." Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Lei Dong refuted, "At this time, he thought that Xun'er and I were doomed to die, so he arrogantly broke the news. I don't think he has any reason to lie to two dying people." Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Yan glanced at Lei Dong slightly.

Did the Great Celestial Master of the Soul Palace think that Lei Dong and Xun Er would definitely die?
Xiao Yan keenly sensed that Lei Dong had some secret, but since it was someone else's secret, it was a private matter that he wanted to hide. Xiao Yan would not have the leisure to explore it, and immediately turned the topic back to the normal topic.

"Just now, the leader received two groups of people. Like your eight tribes, they also came to discuss the alliance with the Tianhe Alliance."

"Huh? Just this matter? What does it have to do with me?" Lei Dong raised his eyebrows unhappily, "Shouldn't this be your Tianhe League's own business? Why did you drag me here?"

Xiao Yan paused and answered.

"Because those two groups are from the same eight tribes as you, and they call themselves the Stone Tribe and the Spirit Tribe."

"what?!"

Lei Dong's eyes suddenly became solemn, and Xiao Yan continued.

"I have never seen the Stone Tribe and the Spirit Tribe, and I am not sure if they are real, so I need to find someone who can confirm their identities to make a judgment."

".Got it. I will cooperate with you."

This time, Lei Dong's attitude towards Xiao Yan was surprisingly friendly. Although he was unhappy with Xiao Yan, Lei Dong was able to distinguish the priorities of things. At least now was not the time for him to pick on Xiao Yan.

As soon as they received the news that the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan were wiped out by the Soul Clan, they came to negotiate an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance.

One of these two must be false.

Not long after, Xiao Yan brought Lei Dong to the reception room. Zijing had been waiting at the door early, and came over to greet them when she saw the two of them arrive.

"Father."

"Is everyone in there?"

"Well, there are about forty people from both parties combined, all inside."

"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded and turned to look at Lei Dong. "Let's go in together. I'll have a brief discussion with them and then tell me the result."

"understood."

Lei Dong responded in a deep voice, and then Xiao Yan pushed open the door, attracting the attention of everyone in the living room.

There were about forty people sitting on the sofas on both sides of the living room. One side looked no different from ordinary people, but Xiao Yan could clearly feel that their souls were even stronger than those of ordinary alchemists. On the other side, one could tell at a glance that there was something wrong. All of them had grayish-white skin. After years of training, Xiao Yan could tell at a glance that their physical strength was extremely terrifying.

After a brief look, Xiao Yan spoke loudly, his words full of courtesy.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm Xiao Yan, the executive of the Tianhe League. I have the full authority to decide whether the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan will form an alliance with the Tianhe League." Xiao Yan glanced at both parties and said in a deep voice, "Could the representatives of both parties introduce their families so that the subsequent communication will be smoother."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, one person stood up from each side. A quiet and elegant woman stood up from the side with strong soul power, came in front of Xiao Yan, spoke softly, and opened her mouth gently.

"My name is Ling Rumeng. I am the leader of the Spirit Tribe this time. I am here on behalf of the Spirit Tribe to discuss the alliance with Executor Xiao."

After Ling Rumeng introduced herself, the gray-skinned man who stood up on the other side also spoke in a serious voice.

"Shi Man, the Stone Clan, come to discuss an alliance."

Compared to Ling Rumeng's introduction, Shi Man's introduction seems to be very frugal with words, and it can be clearly seen that he doesn't want to say even a single word.

Xiao Yan didn't feel unhappy. He then had a brief exchange with the two of them with a friendly expression. During this period, Xiao Yan didn't notice anything unusual from the two of them.

"The alliance is of great importance. Master Shiman, Miss Rumeng, I will arrange a temporary place for you to stay. Please allow me to consider it for a while."

Shi Man and Ling Rumeng were silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"can."

"Then I'll have to trouble Executor Xiao."

The two of them agreed to Xiao Yan's proposal, and then Xiao Yan turned to look at Zijing.

"Zijing, go arrange accommodation for everyone. If you have any needs, try your best to meet them."

"As ordered."

Zijing responded respectfully, and then politely led the Shiling and other clans out of the reception room.

Seeing the door of the living room closed heavily, the smile on Xiao Yan's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a deep solemnity. He gently raised his hand to soundproof the surroundings, then turned to look at Lei Dong.

"How is it? Is it the real person?"

Lei Dong also had a frown on his face at this time, and only spoke slowly after a long while.

"That should be it. At least I don't see anything wrong." Lei Dong said, frowning, "But it's hard to say. I've seen Shi Man and Ling Rumeng before, but it's been too long since we last met. I can't be 100% sure it's them."

Hearing Lei Dong's answer, Xiao Yan's face was also heavy.

In other words, according to Lei Dong's analysis, there is a high probability that the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan are real. In this case, does that mean the news of the extinction of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan is false?

Lei Dong seemed to see what Xiao Yan was thinking and spoke.

"My previous opinion remains unchanged. I still don't think that the Great Celestial Lord of the Soul Palace lied. Whether it was his demeanor or the situation at the time, I didn't sense any signs of lying."

Xiao Yan did not deny Lei Dong's certainty.

As the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is true.

But sometimes, what you hear is not necessarily false, and what you see is not necessarily true.

"Lei Dong, if the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan are really confirmed to have been annihilated by the Soul Clan, how will the other eight clans react?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lei Dong and asked. Lei Dong was silent for a while and then spoke slowly.

"I think they will start a war among the eight clans." Lei Dong crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "It's not just that the Soul Clan has disrupted the balance of the eight clans, but also that the eight clans have been silent for too long and have been recuperating. If there is a legitimate reason to attack one of the clans and plunder resources, I think the clan leaders will not let it go."

"Is it."

Xiao Yan's expression became even more serious. It seemed that even the eight high and mighty clans could not escape the situation of competing for resources.

Then Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, looked at Lei Dong and asked.

"Lei Dong, do you want the eight tribes to start a war?"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Lei Dong spread his hands and looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment. "Anyone with a normal mind would not want this to happen, right? The clan leader's position is the clan leader's position. It is their business to fight for resources for the family. I can understand that, but it does not mean that I can agree with it."

Having said this, Lei Dong paused and continued.

"Of course, if the family really decides to do so, then I will definitely join this war."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Yan nodded.

"Since you don't want to start a war, then it's easy."

"What do you mean?"

Lei Dong frowned, not understanding what Xiao Yan said.

“Whether the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan have any problems, you and I should keep it in mind for now and confirm it later.” Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: “Now, no matter whether they are real or not, we must make everyone, including the eight clans, believe that they are real.” (End of this chapter)
