Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire is about to be born.

Because of this news, Xiao Yan, who had just been on vacation for less than half a day, returned to the Tianhe Alliance. At this time, he was sitting in his seat with a serious expression.

And the reason why Xiao Yan's face was solemn was not only because of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but also because of the powerful men from the eight clans that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire would attract. Since the Soul Clan already knew the news of the birth of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, there was no reason why the other eight clans didn't know. The Yan Clan, who specialized in flames, and the Yao Clan, who respected alchemy, would definitely come to seize it. Even if the three clans of Lei, Gu, and Soul did not have such a high demand for the strange fire, but that was the third strange fire ranked on the strange fire list, and its nature was completely different from the other strange fires, so it was impossible for them not to fight for it.

The Ancient Clan will most likely side with the Tianhe Alliance because of the relationship between Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan. Even if Gu Yuan sends people this time, they should only assist the Tianhe Alliance. The other four clans will fight on their own, which means that the conflicts among the already precarious eight clans may be further intensified.

boom!
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. Xiao Yan looked up and saw Lei Jing's angry face.

"Hey! Didn't you say you were going to take a day off today? You're not going to let me have a peaceful rest, are you?"

Lei Jing asked angrily. All the paperwork this week almost drove her crazy. She finally got a half-day break and was called back again. It would be strange if she didn't get mad.

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to explain when Lei Jing sat down and leaned back on the sofa, and continued to ask in a very unhappy tone.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan stared blankly at Lei Jing, who was still angry but suppressed her anger and sat down. The latter also noticed his gaze and grinned unhappily.

"Don't look at me like that. I was just complaining. Since you asked me to come here, it must be because of something important that requires my presence."

".Thank you." Xiao Yan felt relieved, and then replied softly: "Wait here for a while, Zijing and Qinghan have already gone to notify the others, we will talk after everyone arrives."

"Others? Who?"

Lei Jing raised an eyebrow. Xiao Yan was about to answer when Gu Qinghan pushed the door open and came in. He looked at Xiao Yan and spoke softly.

"Xiao Yan, everyone is here."

Then Gu Qinghan leaned against the door, and then two people walked in. When Lei Jing saw the two people, he was slightly stunned.

The Yan clan's young chief Huo Xuan, the Yao clan's young chief Yao Tian, ​​together with Lei Jing and Gu Qinghan, the young generations of the eight clans are currently in this room.

"Brother Huo Xuan, Young Clan Leader Yao Tian, ​​please take a seat."

Xiao Yan stood up and invited the two to take a seat. When he was facing Huo Xuan, he could clearly feel his eagerness. However, when he was facing Yao Tian, ​​although his tone did not change much, he could clearly detect a sense of alienation. This could be seen just from the way Xiao Yan addressed the two.

Yao Tian naturally felt it as well, but he pretended not to notice it and sighed silently in his heart.

When Yao Tian first led Yao Ling and the Yao clan to settle in the Tianhe Alliance, Xiao Yan was quite enthusiastic about them. However, after a while, Xiao Yan inexplicably became cold towards the Yao clan members.

This indifference was not reflected in behavior, but more in daily conversations. The Yao Clan and the Yan Clan were treated the same, but this feeling of alienation really made Yao Tian very uncomfortable, and he once privately asked Xiao Yan why.

As for Yao Tian's question, Xiao Yan did not answer directly, but just said perfunctorily: It has nothing to do with you.

Nothing to do with us?
Yao Tian thought about this sentence for a long time but couldn't figure it out. If it has nothing to do with us, why would he be distant from us?
But later, Yao Tian suddenly thought of Xiao Yan's character of not taking things personally but taking things as an issue, and he understood something in his heart.

It has nothing to do with them, but it has something to do with the medicine clan behind them.

Considering that Xiao Yan's teacher Yao Chen was obviously a member of the Yao Clan, but had never appeared in front of them once in these three years, and Xiao Yan had never mentioned him, it was as if he deliberately let Yao Chen hide from the Yao Clan. Instead, it was Yao Chen's other disciple Han Feng who had met them several times.

However, every time Han Feng saw them, his eyes, which should have been cold, revealed his undisguised disgust for them.

This made Yao Tian guess something in his heart, and he immediately asked someone to return to the Yao clan to look for information related to Yao Chen.

The result he got afterwards made Yao Tian's face gloomy. He didn't know how to comment on it, and could only say one thing in his heart.

It was really amazing that Xiao Yan could accept the Yao Clan staying in the Tianhe Alliance.

Previously, the Yao Clan was the superior to the Tianhe Alliance. However, in just a few years, the Yao Clan has fallen below the Tianhe Alliance.

With Xiao Yan's current strength and influence, not to mention the three ancient families of Lei, Yan, and Lei, he can at least completely ignore the weakest Yao Clan. Even so, Xiao Yan can still treat the Yao Clan with the same courtesy as he does the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan. This is purely due to their own qualities.

At least if it were me, even if I didn't break off relations with the Medicine Clan, at least I would not continue to maintain any possible alliance plan with the Medicine Clan, and I would have sent all the Medicine Clan members back long ago.

“You two, I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you.” Xiao Yan sat opposite Yao Tian and Huo Xuan and asked in a deep voice, “As the future heirs of the Yao and Yan clans, you must know about the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, right?”

Pure Lotus Demon Fire? The Pure Lotus Demon Fire ranked third on the list of strange fires?
Yao Tian, ​​Huo Xuan, and Lei Jing who was sitting on the other side were all shocked. Why did Xiao Yan suddenly ask this?

But these three people are the future heirs of their respective families, so they are naturally smart and understood it immediately.

"The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is about to appear in the world?"

Huo Xuan frowned and asked in a questioning tone, but he was basically certain in his heart. Xiao Yan also nodded slightly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your families should send someone to contact you in the next two days."

"So you mean that we should come forward and persuade our family to give the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire to you?"

Yao Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and said this. It’s not that Yao Tian is narrow-minded. Any normal person would think so, even Huo Xuan is no exception, but he just didn’t say it out loud.

However, before Xiao Yan could speak, Lei Jing got angry.

"You guys from the Yao Clan, do you think everyone is like you? We've been getting along for three years, and you don't know who Xiao Yan is?" Lei Jing glanced at Yao Tian with contempt, and ignored the other's dark look and continued to talk: "And with Xiao Yan's current strength and status, forget about the Yan Clan, but if he really wants to monopolize the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, do you need to pass on a message to your Yao Clan? Why don't you call that old man Yao Dan from your family over here and ask him if he dares to turn against the Tianhe Alliance?"

"Lei Jing, you've gone a bit too far."

Xiao Yan turned his head slightly and glanced at Lei Jing. He said this in a calm tone, which made Lei Jing even more unhappy, but then Xiao Yan smiled and said softly.

"But thank you for speaking up for me."

".Hmph!" Lei Jing's pretty face turned red and she turned her head away without saying anything else. At this time, Yao Tian's expression returned to normal and he bowed slightly to Xiao Yan.

"Sorry, Xiao Yan, I just spoke without thinking."

"It's okay. I understand. Brother Huo Xuan and Young Clan Leader Yao Tian are in that position after all. It's natural for them to think this way. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and I don't feel offended. You don't have to apologize." Xiao Yan paused, then continued, "I called you two here this time just to avoid some problems that might occur at that time."

What problems might occur?

Huo Xuan and Yao Tian frowned, but didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"Since the death of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire has become ownerless. It should have belonged to heaven and earth. The Tianhe Alliance naturally has no right to monopolize it. Whether it is the Tianhe Alliance, the Eight Clans, or other forces, they all have the right to seize the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. This goes without saying."

"It's just that you two, as members of the Eight Clans, should know that the Eight Clans have been at peace with each other for thousands of years relying on a treaty that has little binding force. But the current situation is turbulent, and now the so-called Eight Clans Treaty has become meaningless because of the Soul Clan. If the Pure Lotus Demon Fire this time becomes the fuse that triggers a fight among the Eight Clans, the entire Douqi Continent will be affected. You two should understand the seriousness of this matter, right?"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Huo Xuan and Yao Tian were silent for a while, and finally Huo Xuan spoke first.

"Xiao Yan, you said that the Eight Clans Treaty has become meaningless because of the Soul Clan. Where did you get this from?"

Although the Soul Clan has always been unpopular, it has never done anything that the other eight clans cannot tolerate. What's more, three years ago, the Soul Clan's subordinate force, the Soul Palace, had been completely expelled from Zhongzhou, causing the Soul Clan to completely lose control of Zhongzhou. As a result, the other eight clans' defenses against the Soul Clan have been reduced a lot in the past two years.

But why did Xiao Yan say now that the Eight Clans Treaty was meaningless because of the Soul Clan?
"Please wait."

Xiao Yan clapped his hands, and the door was pushed open again. A mature and elegant woman walked in. Huo Xuan and Yao Tian recognized her at the first moment. She was the woman Xiao Yan appointed three years ago to be in charge of the educational facilities in Zhongzhou. They had often seen her in meetings over the past three years, but they didn't know her name.

At this time, Xiao Yan stood up and walked to the woman and introduced Huo Xuan and Yao Tian.

"You two, Xiao Yan would like to introduce to you again that the senior next to me is the leader of the Ling Clan, Ling Jingyan."

The leader of the Eldar tribe? !
Upon learning Ling Jingyan's identity, Huo Xuan and Yao Tian's minds were stunned for a moment. They stood up from the sofa abruptly, their thoughts in a tangled mess.

No? How could the leader of the Spirit Tribe be in the Tianhe League? Ling Jingyan had joined the Tianhe League three years ago, so how could she, the leader of the Spirit Tribe, stay in Zhongzhou for three years without going back?
Wait, you’ve been here for three years and haven’t been back?
Huo Xuan and Yao Tian seemed to understand something, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly, while Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

“Just as you two guessed, three years ago, the Spirit Clan was attacked by the Soul Clan, and more than half of them were killed or injured. The remaining members, under the leadership of Senior Ling, changed their names and joined the Tianhe Alliance.” Xiao Yan looked at the two people’s ugly faces and continued, “In addition, the Stone Clan was also confirmed to have been completely wiped out by the Soul Clan at the same time three years ago, and no one survived.”

"I have heard about the news that the Stone and Spirit tribes were destroyed by the Soul tribe, but wasn't it later confirmed to be a rumor?"

Huo Xuan asked in a serious tone, but Yao Tian's reaction was faster than his.

"I see. You have been hiding this from us all along? Are you afraid that we would pass the news back to the family?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded and admitted without hesitation, "To be honest, I have no interest in the grudges between the eight clans, but I have to admit that the grudges between the eight clans will greatly affect the future of the Tianhe Alliance. Therefore, before I am sure that I have the ability to resolve these grudges, I don't want the grudges of the eight clans to affect my affairs."

Xiao Yan's words made Huo Xuan and Yao Tian look suddenly enlightened, and then they frowned.

"Then if you tell us this now, aren't you afraid that we will spread the news back to the family?"

"I'm really not afraid anymore."

Xiao Yan's decisive answer made the two of them stunned again. They stared at Xiao Yan's expression and found that he was so indifferent, without any signs of lying.

This is exactly the fact. Xiao Yan never lies. Needless to say, the Yao Clan. As the top combat force of the Tianhe Alliance, Xiao Xuan's normal realm can basically be maintained at the early stage of the Nine-Star Douluo. It cannot be said that he can definitely defeat the Lei and Yan clans, but at least they can be on par with each other. As for the combat forces that are a little lower, the Tianhe Alliance is not necessarily weaker than the Lei and Yan clans.

As for the Ancient Clan, there is no need to mention it. The clan leader Gu Yuan is Xiao Xuan's sworn brother, and because of what happened a thousand years ago, he feels extremely guilty towards Xiao Xuan. As long as it doesn't touch his bottom line, Gu Yuan will definitely fully support Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Yan naturally benefits from it as well.

"But even so, I personally still hope to avoid using force to solve problems as much as possible." Xiao Yan looked at Huo Xuan and Yao Tian, ​​and said in a deep voice: "Now please allow me to ask you two a question. How do you feel about the three years you have spent in Tianhe League?"

"Very good, much more interesting than when I was in the Yan Clan."

Huo Xuan answered directly that he didn't learn much about cultivation in the three years in Tianhe League. Instead, he came into contact with many different kinds of people, and a lot of interesting things created by people they originally looked down upon.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three years have made Huo Xuan truly feel that the past twenty years or so he had lived in the family were wasted. All he had done was practice, and there was no end in sight. The happiness he had gained in the family over the past twenty years was not as great as the short three years in the Tianhe Alliance.

"Me too." Yao Tian also spoke up, "Xiao Yan, I know what you want. The Yao Clan agrees with you on this point."

Yao Tian said this and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Among the eight tribes that are still alive, the one that least wants a war to happen is the Medicine Tribe."

Yao Tian was certain that once the eight clans really launched a war against each other, it was uncertain who would survive to the end, but the Yao clan would definitely be the first to be destroyed.

Hearing the two people's answers, Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Thank you for your answers. If your families come, I'll trouble you to persuade them." Xiao Yan nodded seriously and said in a serious voice, "My core point is only one. Strange Fire can be robbed, but war must never happen."

"I see, but I have another question."

Yao Tian said this and Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

"please say."

"You should hate the Eight Clans, right? Why did you tell us the news of the destruction of the Lingshi and Two Clans? Aren't you afraid that we will tell our own family?"

Hearing Yao Tian's question, Huo Xuan also stared at Xiao Yan. The latter was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"It is indeed as Young Clan Leader Yao Tian said. I hate the Eight Clans and I am deeply suspicious of them. The very existence of the Eight Clans makes it impossible for me to trust them." Xiao Yan paused, then smiled at the two of them, "Although I don't trust the Eight Clans, but..."

Xiao Yan pointed at the two of them and spoke word by word.

"I believe in you." (End of this chapter)
