Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"Um?!"

Xiao Yan's expression froze, and his heart inexplicably tightened. Gu Qinghan, who was beside him, noticed his abnormality at the first moment and raised his brows slightly.

"Xiao Yan, what's wrong?"

".nothing."

Although Xiao Yan felt a little flustered, he suppressed it for the time being.

After all, now is not the time to be distracted.

Xiao Yan shifted his gaze and scanned the scene in front of him. The fishy smell lingered in the air, and even the sky was dyed blood red. Looking around, the ground beneath his feet was pitch black and filled with death. Even the ominous sound of crows was not heard. The silence was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

If someone asks what hell is, the scene before us can definitely provide the most perfect explanation.

"Oh, what a bad smell!"

Zi Yan pinched her nose with a look of disgust. At this time, the old brows of Patriarch Huoyun frowned slightly. He squatted down and gently grabbed a handful of soil, and a low voice slowly flowed out.

"These are not just pure soil, but more like the residue left after something has been absorbed."

“Although I want to ask if Ancient Dragon Island is always like this.” Xiao Yan slightly side-glanced at Zhu Li and Zhu Ming, who looked particularly grim, “But judging from your expressions, there’s no need to ask.”

One doesn't even need to look at Zhu Li and Zhu Ming's expressions to know that if Ancient Dragon Island had always been like this, there would be no need for them to keep longing to come back.

Lei Dong, who had been folding his arms and looking around, suddenly turned up his nose, glanced at the black earth, and said coldly.

"Something's coming out."

puff!
The moment Lei Dong finished speaking, the black ground in front of Xiao Yan and his group surged upwards, and white bones crawled out from the ground along with the shock, flapping their wings that only left white bones and slowly flew into the air. The eyes of the skeletons, which did not even have pupils, were extremely dark, and they stared at Xiao Yan and his group closely.

When they saw the monster flying in the air, Zhu Ming and Zhu Li's faces changed.

This is the corpse of the Taixu ancient dragon!
Gu Qinghan's face turned cold, and he immediately took out a sheathed long sword with one hand and placed the other hand on the hilt. Just as he was about to pull it out, Xiao Yan reached out and gently pressed his hand. Then, in Gu Qinghan's puzzled eyes, Xiao Yan looked at the white corpse of the Taixu ancient dragon and spoke slowly.

"Venerable Joy, it's you, right?"

The corpse in front of them is only at the Dou Zun level, and there is only one of them. If the enemies in the dark really want to use this thing to cause trouble to them, it would be too ridiculous.

If that's the case, then there is only one reason why this corpse appeared in front of them so openly, and that is to convey a message to them.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yan asked, the dark eyes of the Taixu Ancient Dragon corpse burst into a dark light, and its bony jaw opened and closed slightly, and it actually made a very charming female voice.

"I was wondering when you guys would come over. You guys came much later than I expected."

This voice was extremely familiar to Xiao Yan; it was Hun Yan's voice!
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said lightly.

"I didn't expect you guys to survive an explosion like that. I guess someone rescued you." Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned cold. "Where is Sister Xiao Yu?"

"You still like to get straight to the point. Such a boring man is not very popular."

Hun Yan's voice was full of charm, but what she said made one's bones cold.

"Sister, I have prepared a lot of good things for your arrival, so don't be too anxious~"

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, the black earth began to surge wildly, and the corpses of the ancient Taixu dragons emerged one after another. They were all clearly dead, but the aura emanating from these corpses made everyone look tense.

The strength of these Taixu ancient dragon corpses that appeared later were all at the semi-saint level!
"Heh~ Do you want to do this?"

Zi Yun glanced at the corpses that surrounded them, his scarlet animal eyes suddenly appeared, and he opened his mouth and roared angrily.

"roll!"

The surging air waves instantly spread out to the surroundings, and the corpses that surrounded them actually began to retreat in fear. Even though they all had no pupils, one could feel the deep fear from their movements, which surprised Xiao Yan.

Even if only a skeleton without self-awareness remains, does the Taixu Ancient Dragon still have no resistance to the dragon-eating beast?
Hun Yan also saw the retreating movements of the other corpses through the Dou Zun-level Taixu Ancient Dragon corpse. Her deep skeleton eyes glanced at the arrogant Zi Yun, and then turned to Xiao Yan.

"We are now somewhere on this Ancient Dragon Island. The person you are looking for is also here. Whether you can get here depends on your own ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dou Zun's corpse shattered with a loud bang, and then those corpses, under the control of Hun Yan, rushed towards Xiao Yan and the others. Even though they still had the instinct to fear the dragon-eating beast in their bones, they were still just a pile of corpses without self-awareness. In the end, it was Hun Yan's orders that changed their instinctive fear.

"Ten Thousand Wheels of Fire."

Without waiting for others to take action, Yao Tianhuo, with his hands in his pockets, manifested hundreds of flaming beasts around his body, which firmly blocked the corpses that were rushing towards him, and began to burn them to ashes visibly, which made Zhu Ming and Zhu Li extremely heartbroken.

These corpses are all from their tribesmen.

However, at this point, Zhu Ming and Zhu Li are not in a position to ask for too much and can only silently hide their sorrow in their hearts.

"Xiao Yan, what should we do next?"

Yao Tianhuo looked at the corpses of the Taixu ancient dragons that were blocked by the flaming beasts, and then looked at Xiao Yan to ask for his opinion.

Xiao Yan was silent for a while, then looked at Zhu Ming and asked.

"Elder Zhuming, how big is Ancient Dragon Island?"

"When I came in, I found that Ancient Dragon Island had merged together for some reason, and it was almost the size of half of Zhongzhou."

Zhu Ming replied in a deep voice, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at the earth that was no longer split.

"Small half of Zhongzhou"

Xiao Yan frowned even more tightly. Even though it was only a small half of Zhongzhou, one had to know that Zhongzhou itself was a very large area. Even if it was only a small half, it would take a lot of time for them to gather together and search it all.

As expected, the only option is to divide the troops. But if they are divided too far, the combat power will be insufficient. Dividing them into two teams is the limit.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and looked at Zi Yun.

"Ziyun, come with me. We will form a separate team."

"no problem!"

Zi Yun clenched her fist and responded, and then Xiao Yan looked at Cai Lin.

"Cai Lin, you take the rest of the group to search another place. I will leave a soul mark in your body. If you find any trace of the Joyful Lord, notify me immediately."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan reached out his hand and gently placed it on Cai Lin's shoulder. Then, Cai Lin clearly felt a warm current entering her soul, and she did not resist. But then, Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a deep voice.

"Just you and Ziyun?"

Cai Lin showed displeasure in her eyes, and instinctively felt that Xiao Yan was too arrogant. Xiao Yan naturally knew his wife's concerns and spoke softly.

"Don't worry. From the performance of the corpses just now, we can see that even if they have turned into corpses, the deterrent of the Dragon Eater is still there. It is enough for Zi Yun and I to go all the way." Xiao Yan frowned tightly, and then said: "The intelligence says that Venerable Huan Yu is now at least a five-star Dou Sheng. We can't divide the combat power too much."

After listening to Xiao Yan's explanation, Cai Lin frowned slightly. She used to be a leader, so she naturally understood that Xiao Yan's arrangement was quite reasonable. With Xiao Yan's current strength, no one present could have the confidence to defeat him, not even Patriarch Huoyun. With the addition of Zi Yun who was special attacking Dragon, although Xiao Yan's team only had two people, their safety was definitely sufficient.

Therefore, although she was still a little worried in her heart, Cai Lin really couldn't find any reason to refute. When she was about to open her mouth to respond, Lei Dong suddenly stood up with dissatisfaction.

“Hey! You guy, why do you think I followed you?” Lei Dong walked past Cai Lin and came in front of Xiao Yan. He stretched out his hand and tapped Xiao Yan’s chest without any courtesy. “I told you, I came here just to keep an eye on you. Don’t even think about getting rid of me!”

"."

Xiao Yan looked at Lei Dong who did what he wanted and felt helpless. Just as he was about to say something, Cai Lin spoke first.

"Let's do it this way. You and Ziyun take him along one way, and the rest of us will go along another way."

Although he has not reached the level of a four-star Douluo, Lei Dong's strength is quite good. He can add more combat power to Xiao Yan's team and make Cai Lin feel more at ease.

Xiao Yan naturally understood Cai Lin’s inner worries, and without much hesitation, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, that's it."

Mainly looking at Lei Dong's attitude, Xiao Yan guessed that he would not listen to anything he said, so there was no need to waste any more time.

But such a division of teams makes a person quite unwilling.

"No! I want to be with Xiao Yan!"

Zi Yan clung tightly to Xiao Yan's back and was unwilling to let go. It was so hard to finally be able to be with Xiao Yan openly and honestly, but now they had to separate again. How could Zi Yan accept this?
"Stop messing around! Follow me!"

However, Zi Yan had no say over Cai Lin. She was pulled off Xiao Yan's back by Cai Lin by the collar. Even if Zi Yan had a lot of objections, she could only keep it in her heart.

Before leaving, Cai Lin gave Xiao Yan serious instructions.

"Xiao Yan, be careful."

"Yeah, so do you."

Xiao Yan nodded and watched Cai Lin and his group leave in one direction. Then Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zi Yun and Lei Dong, then looked up at the blood-red sky, frowned, and then turned to face another direction, his expression instantly becoming serious.

"Let's go too."

"Oh? Are the troops split into two groups?"

Somewhere on Ancient Dragon Island, Hun Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly when she noticed the actions of Xiao Yan and his group.

After several months, she has now completely merged with Ancient Dragon Island, and no movement can escape her perception.

However, Xiao Yan himself should have sensed this.

"Hun Yan, what should we do next?"

In the darkness, Hun Mei's face appeared, and Hun Shu beside her was still as cold as usual.

"You take that guy and hold back the other group, I'll deal with Xiao Yan and the other three." Hun Yan gently touched his cheek and smiled slightly, "Do your best, this is really the last time, we must satisfy that woman."

Then Hun Yan slowly stood up, twisting her graceful figure slightly, and walked past Hun Mei and Hun Shu towards the depths. As the dim light gradually spread, people could see the scene inside clearly.

It was a tower-shaped cage made of white bones, and inside the cage, a woman with her wrists hung up was half-kneeling on the ground. Her pretty face, her lively eyelashes trembling occasionally, and her iconic round and slender legs were undoubtedly Xiao Yu.

Hun Yan, who was full of cold charm just now, became infinitely gentle after seeing Xiao Yu. Her eyes were filled with endless pity and reluctance that was difficult to conceal.

Hun Yan stared at Xiao Yu solemnly, her eyes revealing deep love. She stretched out her delicate fingers and gently stroked Xiao Yu's cheek, touching him as if he were the warmest piece of land in the world.

At this moment, her soft moans became gentle and pleasant, like the gurgling of a mountain spring, clear and sweet.

"It's time for the actor named Hunwu to return to Xiao Yu's life."

Her voice was like a flying butterfly, floating in the air, carrying a touch of touching magnetism.

Hun Yan shrugged and laughed helplessly.

"Really, fate is really cruel to us."

"Either let us meet you earlier, or simply don't let you appear in our world. Either way, it will be a good ending for us."

"Perhaps this is what is called retribution."

No one was willing to believe that such gentle and addictive words were spoken by a demon like Hun Yan.

Even the notorious Joyful Lords have their own gentleness, but this gentleness is never generously given to others.

"But even if it's retribution, it's what we deserve. It has nothing to do with you."

Hun Yan's expression gradually softened, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was blooming a beautiful smile. Her eyes revealed endless tenderness, like a soft silk thread wrapped around Xiao Yu's heart, making her feel extremely warm while she was sleeping. She couldn't help but gently turn her face to the side, wanting to enjoy the touch of that hand even more.

However, Hun Yan did not satisfy Xiao Yu's indifferent wish. She pulled her hand back and placed it in front of her eyes, and smelled the pungent smell of blood that could not be erased.

If we were not these hands, we would be able to fully feel your beauty.

But you shouldn't have, you shouldn't have met us from the beginning, even though it is the greatest luck for us.

Hun Yan looked at Xiao Yu, as if she was looking at the only tenderness and beauty in the whole world.

At this moment, Hun Yan's voice was like a gentle breeze, blowing in Xiao Yu's ears, and she said affectionately.

"No matter where you are, we will always be there for you."

"Even if you will forget us forever." (End of this chapter)
