Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

【Fengtian】

As the bone tower collapsed, Xiao Yan chopped Hun Yan to the ground with a ruthless blow. Hun Yan's graceful figure had been cut off at the shoulder, leaving only her incomplete upper body and head intact.

Hun Yan, who fell to the ground, glanced at the collapsed bone tower, as well as Cai Lin and others who were clearing out the remaining Taixu ancient dragon skeletons. Without the bone tower's constant replenishment, these mere semi-saint-level skeletons could not pose any threat to a group of Dousheng-level powerhouses.

However, Hun Yan did not feel sad at all at this moment, instead a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She had just sensed that Xiao Yu, who served as the core of the bone tower, had been rescued.

While Cai Lin and the others were still cleaning up the remaining bones, Xiao Yan also fell from the air and stood in front of Hun Yan. His azure eyes quietly looked at Hun Yan, who was lying on the ground with her body already incomplete. The shadows of Hun Mei and Hun Shu had also disappeared.

After all, Hun Mei and Hun Shu had already sacrificed their bodies to the bone tower, and the phantom that appeared before was just condensed by Hun Yan. It had no self-awareness and naturally dissipated with the collapse of the bone tower.

This battle really didn't consume too much energy from Xiao Yan, and he didn't suffer a hard battle at all because of losing an arm. It was not only because Xiao Yan's current strength was different from before, but more importantly, Hun Yan herself didn't use her full strength at all.

Everything she did was just to allow Xiao Yu to legitimately sever her ties with Venerable Huanyu, nothing more.

Bang!
Xiao Yan inserted the Infernal Hell Ruler into the ground, slowly squatted down, and looked at Hun Yan quietly.

The past deeds of Hun Yan and the other two were indeed extremely evil and they deserved to die. Xiao Yan had never even thought of letting them go.

But at the same time, Xiao Yan was also very clear in his heart that Hun Yan and the other two had genuine feelings for Xiao Yu. Ever since Xiao Yu got involved with them, Hun Yan and the other two had tried every possible means to protect Xiao Yu. There was absolutely no falseness in their feelings.

Xiao Yan truly thanked them from the bottom of his heart.

After a long time, Xiao Yan looked at Hun Yan and spoke slowly.

"Do you have any last wishes? As long as it does not violate my principles, I will satisfy you."

"Oh, if you say so, then what last wish can I have?" Blood was flowing from the corner of Hun Yan's mouth, and her pale lips were slightly raised. "My last wish should violate your bottom line. You know that yourself, don't you?"

Ever since she got to know Xiao Yan's character, Hun Yan knew very well that people like her and Xiao Yan were born opponents, and the two sides' positions could never be reconciled until death.

Xiao Yu's existence was just a coincidence that happened to involve both parties at the same time.

"I almost died in your hands when we first met, and in the end it was you who ended my life. Maybe this is fate."

As Hun Yan spoke, her eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.

Back then in the Wanyao Mountains, it was Yunying's help that allowed them to luckily save their lives. Afterwards, it was also because of Yunying's numerous orders that they were put into desperate situations time and time again.

But now, Hun Yan is grateful to Yunying from the bottom of her heart, grateful that Yunying was able to send Xiao Yu to them, making their lives, which should have been decadent to death, finally have meaning.

If time could go back, they would be willing to experience the past misery again, even just to meet Xiao Yu.

"Go ahead, Xiao Yan, we are the loser."

Hun Yan's voice was very hoarse, but her tone was extremely calm. She had completely let go of everything. There was no trace of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Yan, but a heart-breaking tenderness, which made Xiao Yan's heart tighten. He lowered his head slightly, and his hair covered his eyes.

From the few words that Hun Yan had said before, Xiao Yan guessed that all the evil deeds done by Hun Yan and the other two were related to their tragic past.

They didn't have to go this far.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yan raised his head, and his blue eyes looked closely at Hun Yan through her hair.

"I promise you, I will take good care of her."

Hun Yan's expression paused for a moment, and then she chuckled.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Hun Yan knew what Xiao Yan was talking about, but still chose to play dumb.

Just as she had said to Yunying before, Xiao Yu's future life should never have anything to do with them.

However, Xiao Yan's assurance undoubtedly made Hun Yan feel more at ease.

Different from those so-called upright people who had surrounded them for the Bodhi Pill, Xiao Yan was truly a person who could be trusted by both good and evil people.

This man will never go against his own heart. He will do what he promised even at the risk of his life.

However, Xiao Yan ignored Hun Yan's deliberately dumb words. He raised his hand slightly, and the Infinite Dark Heart Flame ignited in his palm. The firelight illuminated his profile, and his blue eyes revealed an incomparable determination.

"Hun Yan, if you have another life, I will never let you like this appear again."

As the words fell, the Wujian Mingxin Flame turned into a stream of light and suddenly stuck to the remains of Hun Yan. In just a moment, Hun Yan's remains were instantly ignited.

And Hun Yan, when she was about to turn into ashes, uttered the last two words.

"Thank you."

Quietly looking at Hun Yan who had turned into ashes, Xiao Yan slowly stood up and stared at the charred spot on the ground for a long time.

Finally, he uttered it softly.

"I'm the one who should say thank you."

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that after Hun Yan and the other two came into contact with Xiao Yu, they still did a lot of evil things for the people behind them, but Hun Yan and the other two never let Xiao Yu come into contact with them, not even at all.

Hun Yan and the others were deliberately trying to maintain Xiao Yu's innocence, and they staged this final farce just to distance themselves from Xiao Yu. It was precisely because of the behavior of Hun Yan and the other two that Xiao Yan was spared the painful choice between Xiao Yu and the righteous path.

"what"

Xiao Yan raised his head, sighed deeply, put the Infernal Hell Ruler into his ring, turned around and walked towards Cai Lin and the others.

My luck is really too good.
At this time, the remaining skeletons of the Taixu ancient dragon were also cleared out by Cai Lin and others. The last skeleton was crushed by Cai Lin's bare hands. Cai Lin released his perception to confirm that there were no remaining skeletons. Then he raised his hand and gently touched the hair that was stuck to his face because of sweat, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

It's not that it consumed much energy, and Cai Lin and the others didn't encounter any life-threatening danger from beginning to end, but being in a constant state of combat was indeed a little tiring.

Cai Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, and when she saw Xiao Yan walking towards them, she leaped in front of him.

"Xiao Yan, that woman is dead?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. At this time, Gu Qinghan also came to Xiao Yan with Xiao Yu in his arms and whispered.

"I just checked. She is just unconscious. She is not seriously injured."

“Thank you for your help.” Xiao Yan thanked him and then looked at Lei Dong who had rebuilt the seal on the other side. “Mr. Lei, thank you for your help.”

There was quite a lot of noise when Lei Dong unlocked the seal, but Cai Lin and others who were fighting with countless skeletons in front did not notice it. However, Xiao Yan sensed it clearly and naturally knew that Lei Dong had hidden his strength.

Xiao Yan did not want to ask Lei Dong why he concealed his strength, as that was his own business. However, from Lei Dong's previous actions of concealing his strength, it could be seen that he did not want to be exposed. However, this time he took the initiative to unlock the seal in order to help him. Xiao Yan would of course remember this favor.

Gu Qinghan, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little distorted when she heard Xiao Yan's address to Lei Dong. She had thought there was nothing wrong with this address before, but after knowing Lei Dong's identity just now, this address didn't sound right.

But this really cannot be blamed on Xiao Yan. Among so many people, no one noticed that there was something wrong with Lei Dong's identity. He guessed it immediately because he knew what had happened to the Lei Clan in the past. It was normal that Xiao Yan couldn't guess it.

Ok?
Suddenly Gu Qinghan frowned tightly.

The situation was too critical just now and I didn't think too much about it. I just came to my senses now.

Since Lei Dong didn't exist, why did Lei Dong bother Xiao Yan? And what about Lei Dong's engagement with Xun'er? It's okay to hide it from other people, but it's unlikely to hide it from Gu Yuan, right?
Gu Qinghan was just pondering over this in confusion. Lei Dong curled his lips slightly when he heard Xiao Yan's thanks.

"Hmph! Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to help you." Lei Dong turned his back and said awkwardly, "It would be a disgrace to the Thunder Clan if I came here with you and did nothing."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile, and the depressed mood caused by Hun Yan's death just now also subsided a little.

After all, after so many years in the business, he could tell directly how insincere Lei Dong's words were. How did Xiao Mei describe this kind of personality: tsundere?

"Let's go back."

Xiao Yan looked at the others and they all nodded. Since everything here was over, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

Zhu Ming and Zhu Li also left with everyone. Now that the matter on Ancient Dragon Island had been resolved, it was time for them to go back and discuss the migration back of the Taixu Ancient Dragon that they had brought out before, and take advantage of this time to digest it.

From today onwards, the Taixu Ancient Dragons should have completely fulfilled their previous vision and become unified again.

However, Zhuming and Zhuli couldn't feel happy in their hearts.

Afterwards, through the space channel opened up by Zhu Ming and Zhu Li, Xiao Yan and his party left the Ancient Dragon Island, returned to the Zhongzhou continent, and headed towards the Tianhe Alliance. On the way, Zhu Ming and Zhu Li said goodbye first and returned to the Taixu Ancient Dragon’s residence in Zhongzhou to announce the matter to their clansmen.

Along the way, Xiao Yan remained silent. Cai Lin noticed that her husband seemed to be in a bad mood, so she frowned slightly and moved closer to him.

"Xiao Yan, are you unhappy?"

".It's okay, don't worry."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile, but Cai Lin could tell at a glance how forced Xiao Yan's smile was, and it was obvious that he was hiding something.

However, although Cai Lin's personality has softened a lot over the years, she is not someone like Yun Yun who can help others solve their problems. So she didn't ask more questions and changed the subject naturally.

"You'll be alright after this, right? Stay with me in the room for a few days after you go back."

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan's expression instantly turned bitter. He was not an innocent little boy, so he naturally knew what Cai Lin meant by "accompany" and couldn't help feeling scared.

It took me three days and three nights to feed Ziyun. If it were Cailin, she might not be able to come out for a week.

But Xiao Yan didn't think about it for long and nodded in agreement.

"Ah."

He is Cai Lin's husband, so of course he has to accompany her.

Since I said I would be responsible for them, I must do it in every aspect.

And men must never say no to such things!

Xiao Yan was then slightly stunned and realized that Cai Lin was trying to comfort him because he was sad. He looked at Cai Lin with tenderness.

"Cai Lin, thank you."

"Hmph~" Cai Lin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then added, "But staying with me for a few days is not fake."

"Yes! I promise to satisfy the Queen!"

It was rare for Xiao Yan to start flirting with Cai Lin, and Cai Lin enjoyed it very much. They were already an old couple, so there was no need to be shy about such things.

Gu Qinghan, who was holding Xiao Yu behind him, felt uncomfortable when he saw the two flirting with each other, and then he smiled bitterly.

It had nothing to do with Xiao Yan, so no matter how upset he was, he had to keep it to himself.

Afterwards, Gu Qinghan shook his head and didn’t want to say any more. Since he had already decided to stay with Xiao Yan for the rest of his life, he would definitely see this kind of scene often, so he should get used to it sooner.

But Zi Yun didn't have such concerns. After hearing what the two said, she came over and grinned at Xiao Yan.

"Hey! Take me too!"

Zi Yun said this with great certainty, not giving Xiao Yan any chance to choose at all. Upon seeing this, Zi Yan threw Xiao Yan onto her back and joined in with excitement.

"And I!"

Oh my god
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a headache.

It would be fine if it's just Cai Lin alone, Zi Yun and Zi Yan are also joining in. With three top-level magical beasts demanding it at the same time, it is conceivable that he will not be able to go out for the next half month.

It is really enviable to be able to marry so many outstanding wives, but I have to say that it is not easy to be a husband.
"Humph! This guy is really shameless!"

Lei Dong gritted his teeth in displeasure when he saw the predicament Xiao Yan was facing, and then was slightly stunned.

Why am I so angry?
But soon, Lei Dong found a reason for himself and his eyes instantly became firm.

I was angry because Xun'er was infatuated with this guy!
Yes! Absolutely!

When Ancestor Huoyun saw this scene, his expression was complicated, and Yao Tianhuo was grinning and joking with him.

"The things you mentioned before may not be easy to achieve~"

Hearing Yao Tianhuo's teasing, Patriarch Huoyun didn't know what to say and just sighed helplessly.

Yao Tianhuo is Tang Huoer's master, and naturally has had many private interactions with Patriarch Huoyun in recent years. During a conversation, Patriarch Huoyun mentioned asking Yao Tianhuo for help to promote the relationship between Tang Huoer and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is really an outstanding person, too outstanding. His strength, talent, power and character are impeccable. The only thing that can be brought up is that he married several wives.

But is this a problem?
With Xiao Yan's excellence, it would be no problem for him to recruit thousands of people in Zhongzhou. There would definitely be plenty of people willing to come forward. From this perspective, Xiao Yan has really been quite self-restrained.

However, looking at the current situation, there is most likely no hope for his granddaughter. Xiao Yan is obviously not the kind of person who will accept anyone who comes to him. Patriarch Huoyun also learned from chatting with Yao Chen in recent years that, except for Xiao Yixian, all of Xiao Yan's wives were the result of accidents.

"Well, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I, an old man, will not get involved."

Ancestor Huoyun shook his head slightly, and at this moment his expression suddenly changed, and his look instantly became ugly.

Not only Patriarch Huoyun, but everyone else, including Xiao Yan, had their expressions covered in darkness. They all stopped in the air, staring at the ground below.

And below, the place where the Tianhe League was supposed to be located has become a ruin! (End of this chapter)
