Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

At the edge of Zhongzhou, a portal suddenly appeared ten thousand meters above the sky, and a group of Black Annihilation Army led by Gu Qinghan rushed out of the portal.

After making sure they had left the Gu Clan, Gu Qinghan's body could no longer hold on and she fell directly down. Seeing this, Gu Yuelan's expression changed drastically and she quickly flashed to her side to support her, her eyes full of worry.

"Sister Qinghan, are you okay?"

Gu Yao and Gu Zhen also surrounded them. Gu Qinghan's face turned pale and he shook his head gently to signal Gu Yuelan not to worry.

"It's okay. I just overused the instantaneous power."

With her own strength, it was really a desperate effort for her to escape from Gu Lie with Gu Yao and Gu Zhen. She could still hold on in front of Gu Lie just now, but now she relaxed and her body suddenly lost all strength.

Then Gu Qinghan looked back at the closed gate of the ancient world behind him, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There's really no going back now.
If her guess was correct, at first the Ancient Clan only asked them to leave the Clan on the surface, but after this incident, it might come true.

The ancient demon and others, led by himself, really became traitors.

(But you can’t go back.)
Gu Qinghan frowned and raised his hand to touch his chest. Tushe Gudi Yu was lying safely in his arms.

She is now certain that there is indeed a traitor in the ancient clan. It could be Gu Lie, or it could be the four elders, or even her own father.

Although Gu Qinghan believed in her heart that her father would not betray her, the current situation forced her to doubt rationally.

"Sister Qinghan, what should we do next?"

Gu Yuelan asked softly, and Gu Qinghan spoke without thinking.

"Go to Xingyun Pavilion to find Xiao Yan and tell him about our situation."

Gu Qinghan said this without hesitation, as if she was used to it, and she didn't even realize it herself. Even her own father doubted her, but she had complete trust in Xiao Yan.

Others were not surprised by Gu Qinghan's words. Gu Yao and Gu Zhen also nodded. Only Gu Yuelan showed displeasure in her eyes, but she did not object. The eight ancient clans had nowhere to go in Zhongzhou, and given their current situation, they could only go to find Xiao Yan.

Since the decision had been made, everyone confirmed the direction and headed towards Xingyun Pavilion. Gu Qinghan had not recovered yet, so he was carried on Gu Yuelan's back.
On the road, everyone else was silent, and the heavy atmosphere was visibly evident.

Although they were prepared to betray the clan when they decided to help Gu Qinghan, they still felt uncomfortable when the time came. This departure meant that they would not be able to return to the Gu clan for a long time.

Gu Qinghan also felt the heavy atmosphere and felt guilty in his heart. Even if it was not his request, they followed him and left the Ancient Clan for his sake. At the same time, Gu Qinghan was also moved by the fact that the Black Annihilation Army was willing to leave the Ancient Clan for his sake.

Betraying your family for someone is easy to say, but actually doing it is another matter entirely.

After a long silence, Gu Qinghan spoke to comfort everyone.

"Don't be sad, you will have a chance to go back later."

At this moment, a question suddenly popped into Gu Qinghan's mind.

Why did those guys who stole the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade appear in front of him?

Obviously, their purpose should be to take the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade away from the ancient clan. If this is the case, they should avoid causing conflicts. Even if they want to delay time, they should not let the people with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade stay.
Could it be that? !

Gu Qinghan suddenly understood something, his expression changed abruptly, and then he keenly noticed that there was a fluctuation in the surrounding space, and he shouted suddenly.

"careful!"

At Gu Qinghan's command, the people who had been depressed just now instantly tensed up. Gu Yao, who was walking in the front, was the first to react. He dodged the black fighting spirit that attacked from the darkness with anger in his eyes.

"who is it?!"

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Following this sinister laugh, several people in black robes appeared here and surrounded Gu Qinghan and his group. Sensing their fighting spirit, everyone looked grim.

It’s the cub of the Soul Clan!

"It's just like what the spy reported." The leader stretched out his hand and slowly lowered his hood, revealing his handsome but extremely feminine face. He smiled at Gu Qinghan and the others, "I am the young patriarch of the Soul Clan, Hun Yu. I am here on the orders of the elders to invite you all to visit my Soul Clan."

Hun Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cruel cold light flashed in them.

"Of course, if you don't want to, forget it, but please be sure to hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Ancient Clan to us for safekeeping."

The Soul Clan's Young Chief? !

Everyone was horrified, unable to believe that the Soul Clan's young chief would come out in person to surround them. Seeing their eyes, Hun Yu couldn't help but feel elated.

Not long ago, Hun Yu was just a candidate for the position of young clan leader, and because the previous young clan leader Hun Feng was much better than him, this meant that as long as Hun Feng was alive, Hun Yu would never have the chance to become a young clan leader in his lifetime. Even Hun Yu himself had almost given up.

However, he did not expect that in the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree not long ago, Hun Feng was killed by the clan leader because he angered the clan leader, and the title of young clan leader naturally fell on Hun Yu. This unexpected surprise made Hun Yu stunned for a while before he reacted.

This time, seizing the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade was naturally a task deliberately assigned to him by the elders. After all, compared with the deceased Hun Feng, Hun Yu's prestige in the clan was not a little bit inferior. If Hun Yu could bring the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade back to the Hun clan as the young clan leader this time, it would definitely add a lot of prestige to Hun Yu.

Since it was an appointed task, the difficulty would naturally not be too high. This was indeed the case. As soon as Hun Yu arrived and saw the group of people headed by Gu Qinghan, his self-confidence swelled.

The strongest one is only a one-star Dou Sheng in the late stage. What can you use to fight me? What is the difference between this achievement and the one given to me for free?
Thinking of this, Hun Yu could no longer contain his inner excitement, and his fighting spirit burst out, shocking everyone.

Two-star Dou Sheng late stage!

Then everyone reacted to what he just said, and the other Black Annihilation Army soldiers looked confused.

Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade? What is that?

Gu Yao and Gu Zhen, who had seen the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade before, both changed their expressions. How could he know that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was on Gu Qinghan? Even Gu Lie didn't know!
Gu Qinghan got off Gu Yuelan's back without saying a word, his face as gloomy as water.

Is that really the case?
It may not be difficult to steal the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the ancestral hall, but the difficult part is how to bring the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade out of the ancient clan.

The weak may be able to sneak into the ancient clan, but they cannot be brought out.

A strong person might be able to lead the ancient clan out, but he cannot get in.

And it was obvious that Gu Qinghan's escape from prison was taken advantage of by the Soul Clan. After causing the riot, they were unable to notice the theft of the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade in the first place. Because of the old woman, he and others were able to successfully escape from the Ancient Clan without being questioned.

Whether it was killing those traitors himself, searching for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade from them, or the old woman stepping in at the end to force Gu Lie to let them go, it was all within the Soul Clan's plan!
"These bastards."

Gu Qinghan's eyes were cold, and a sheathed long sword appeared in his hand. He took a step forward and protected Gu Yuelan behind him, which made Gu Yuelan stunned.

Just as Gu Qinghan passed by her, Gu Yuelan noticed that Gu Qinghan stuffed something into her hand and said something that only she could hear.

[Take this thing and go to Xingyun Pavilion to find Xiao Yan. We will cover you as you rush out.]

From these words, Gu Yuelan clearly sensed Gu Qinghan's determination to die, and panic suddenly appeared in her eyes.

“Sister Qinghan! How can I?” “This is an order!”

Gu Qinghan's face turned grim and he interrupted Gu Yuelan directly.

Gu Yuelan felt Gu Qinghan's unquestionable attitude, bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness, but finally nodded silently.

Then Gu Qinghan gently placed a hand on her shoulder and stared at Hun Yu. Hun Yu also saw that Gu Qinghan and Gu Yuelan were secretly discussing something, but she did not stop them, and disdain was revealed in her eyes.

In addition to himself, a two-star Douluo, he also brought three one-star Douluo and several Douluos. The strongest among Gu Qinghan's group was only Gu Qinghan, a late-stage one-star Douluo.

Even if they have wings, they can never escape from the palm of my hand!

Gu Qinghan stared at Hun Yu's ferocious face, his fingers gripping the sheathed long sword trembling slightly. The others also confronted the Hun Clan who surrounded them solemnly, and the scene fell into silence for a while.

Just when everything seemed to have stopped, a breeze blew by and Gu Qinghan finally moved. Hun Yu, who had been staring at her, also reacted immediately.

"Do it!"

Whoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, Gu Qinghan and Gu Yuelan disappeared from Hun Yu's sight, shocking all the Hun clan members present.

What a great speed!

"Young Patriarch! She ran away! The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade must be in her possession!"

"She can't run away." There was no panic in Hun Yu's eyes. He immediately locked onto the direction in which Gu Qinghan fled. Then he glanced coldly at Gu Yao and the others, "I'll leave these Gu Clan's trash to you to deal with."

"Yes!"

The Soul Clan responded in unison, while the Black Annihilation Army was already filled with despair.

Facing the lineup of Hun Yu and others, their chances of survival were already extremely slim, and now Gu Qinghan and Gu Yuelan have escaped first, aren't they doomed to die?
"Calm down! From the day you joined the Black Annihilation Army, you should have been prepared to sacrifice yourself!"

The ancient demon roared angrily, wiping out most of the fear in everyone's hearts. Gu Zhen, who was standing by, also showed determination in his eyes and gave an order in a loud voice.

"Hold them back at all costs! Even if we can't defeat them, we must bite off a piece of flesh from them!"

"Yes!"

It is true that if one soldier is cowardly, the whole general will be cowardly.

Gu Yao and Gu Zhen, the two biggest leaders present, had no intention of retreating, so how could they, as subordinates, embarrass them? !

"Oh~ That's ridiculous."

As for their bravery and fearlessness, Hun Yu just sneered faintly and gave orders to others.

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive. I'll go after the two that got away."

After saying this, Hun Yu was about to turn around and leave. Seeing this, the ancient demon charged towards him fearlessly.

"Earth-covering seal!!!"

The surging energy quickly formed into an energy mark, which slammed towards the Soul Jade. The power contained in it was absolutely equal to the name of the fighting skill, and it had the power to overturn the earth!

However, faced with such a powerful attack, Hun Yu didn't even bother to look at it.

"Rubbish."

Hun Yu waved his hand calmly and easily crushed the ancient demon's move into pieces. His powerful posture demonstrated the gap between the late two-star Dou Sheng and the intermediate half-saint, causing the ancient demon's fearless expression to instantly stiffen.

And then in the next second, Soul Jade lightly bent his finger, and the surging energy slammed into the ancient monster's chest, causing the ancient monster to be seriously injured instantly and bleed profusely!

“Ancient demon!!!”

Gu Zhen's eyes were bulging with anger, and at this time other soul clans also launched an attack on the Black Annihilation Army. One of them, a one-star Douluo, even attacked the dying ancient monster.

Seeing this, although Gu Zhen wanted to save the situation, another one-star Douluo directly destroyed his fighting ability with one blow, leaving him no chance at all.

Damn, the power gap between us is so huge.
Gu Zhen's vision began to blur and his heart was filled with resentment. He was so weak that he couldn't even clench his fists. Even standing in the air was an effort that required all his strength.

Just now, I was actually thinking about helping Sister Qinghan delay time. How ridiculous.

What came to mind was the previous Black Annihilation Army competition, the third unit that amazed everyone with its skills, and the man who temporarily served as the third commander.

If it was him, I would definitely become stronger if I had his training.
Looking at Gu Zhen who had lost his ability to fight, Hun Yu had no interest at all and turned his gaze to the direction where Gu Qinghan fled.

"Well, it's time to set off. It will be troublesome if he really runs away."

Hun Yu bent his knees slightly, just as he was gathering his fighting spirit.

puff!

"Um?!"

Hun Yu's movements suddenly stopped. He turned around abruptly and saw a headless corpse wearing the clothes of the Hun clan. In front of him, a heroic and beautiful woman was holding a sheathed long sword in one hand and the other hand was around the seriously injured and unconscious ancient monster.

It was none other than Gu Qinghan who had just escaped! His strength at this time had also reached the early stage of the two-star Dou Sheng!
"Sister Qinghan!"

The Black Annihilation Army, which was almost defeated, saw Gu Qinghan coming back and there was hope in their eyes.

They were not abandoned! No!

Hun Yu glanced at the fallen headless corpse, then looked at Gu Qinghan, caught a glimpse of the shining mark on her forehead, and spoke coldly.

"The ancient clan emblem. It seems that you are planning to fight to the death." Hun Yu looked down at Gu Qinghan and narrowed his eyes slightly. "With the clan emblem and your ability, you might have a chance to escape from me. Why do you want to come back and die?"

Indeed, judging by the speed, it should be Gu Qinghan who escaped from here with the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade under the desperate cover of Gu Yao and others.

But Gu Qinghan's sense of responsibility prevented her from doing such a thing as abandoning her subordinates. What's more, she was the only one-star late-stage Dou Sheng present, and Gu Yao was only an intermediate half-saint, not to mention the others, who were all just Dou Zuns.

If she left, these Black Annihilation Army would not be able to hold off the Soul Clan for even a minute, and that was indeed the case.

"A beloved sister wouldn't do something like letting her brothers and sisters cover the back."

Gu Qinghan handed the ancient monster to a member of the Black Annihilation Army, then gently stroked the scabbard with his jade hand and hummed coldly.

"Even if I die, I will accompany them and fight to the end!" (End of this chapter)
