Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

After Huo Xuan and Yao Tian left, Ling Jingyan also quietly took her leave.

Xiao Yan was still sitting on the sofa. Under the gazes of Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing, he took out three torn pieces of paper and placed them on the table. Lei Jing walked over, put one arm on Xiao Yan's shoulder as usual, slightly bent his slender waist, and a hint of doubt flashed in his handsome eyes.

"What are these three pieces of paper?"

"It is a fragment of a map that I obtained during my previous training. According to Senior Yao's analysis, it should be related to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. It has been lying in my ring for a long time. If it weren't for the news about the Pure Lotus Demon Fire this time, I might have forgotten that it existed."

Xiao Yan answered like this, and Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Is it related to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? Can it point to the exact location where the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was born?"

"If this is the only function, this thing is too useless, isn't it?" Lei Jing's mouth twitched slightly. "Once a spiritual object of the level of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire appears in the world, the whole continent will know about it. Is it necessary to collect this thing specifically?"

Ordinary people may not be aware of this, but the Eight Ancient Clans have existed on the continent for thousands of years and have experienced the birth of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire several times. They naturally know what this thing looks like when it is born.

According to the description in the records, as long as you are in Zhongzhou, it is hard for you not to know that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire has been born.

"I don't know the specific function, but..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan picked up one of the incomplete maps and the Infinite Dark Heart Flame ignited directly on his hand. After a few seconds, the flame dissipated. In the astonished eyes of Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing, they clearly saw that this incomplete map did not even have any burn marks after being burned by the strange fire.

"As you can see, even the strange fire can't burn through this fragment of the map, proving that this fragment of the map itself is definitely not an ordinary item. I guess the person who left this fragment of the map behind may have hidden some important clues in it. From the looks of the map, it seems that there is still a piece missing. I want to find this fragment of the map before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire appears in the world. Maybe it will be of great use then."

Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing nodded in agreement, and then Lei Jing looked sideways at Xiao Yan.

"I'm afraid this thing is hard to find. Maybe it's not in someone's hands, but lying in some corner."

"Try your best to find it. It's something I almost forgot about. If you can't find it, forget it."

Xiao Yan put away the remaining map and glanced at Lei Jing.

"Lei Jing, you heard what I just said to Huo Xuan and Yao Tian. What are your plans?"

"Huh? What plans are you talking about?"

Lei Jing looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, totally not understanding what he was saying. Xiao Yan then spoke again.

"In short, I hope you can stand on my side, but you are from ThunderClan after all, so it's only natural for you to help ThunderClan when the time comes."

boom!
Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Lei Jing punched him on the head lightly, and then glared at him unhappily in the look of Xiao Yan's astonishment.

"You don't need to worry about it. Just do what you should do. I will take care of the ThunderClan affairs."

".Thanks."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly. Although Lei Jing did not give a direct answer, the answer was already very clear.

Lei Jing looked at Xiao Yan's smile, especially the relief revealed in his blue eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated. Just when her face was about to blush, she punched Xiao Yan on the head again, stood up, turned her head and said viciously.

"Okay, I finally got a day off and you called me to talk about this shit. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Lei Jing left in a hurry. Looking at the heavily closed door, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Gu Qinghan in astonishment.

"Did I offend her in some way? Does she seem angry?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Gu Qinghan shook his head slightly, and rarely used a teasing tone, "Maybe you are too stupid, so I am disappointed with you?"

"."

Xiao Yan's face instantly turned black, but he didn't care anymore. He let out a light breath and looked at Gu Qinghan with a serious face.

"The Soul Clan will most likely send more people to Zhongzhou in the next two days. Tell the Tianhe Alliance to take strict precautions and report any traces of the Soul Clan as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll go and draft the documents with Zijing."

Gu Qinghan nodded, turned around and opened the door, but saw Yao Tian, ​​who had just left, standing outside the door, which made Gu Qinghan frown in confusion.

"Young Patriarch Yaotian, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yan also looked at Yao Tian who was standing at the door and frowned slightly. Yao Tian asked softly.

"Can I have a word with Executor Xiao alone?"

Gu Qinghan's expression froze, and he turned to Xiao Yan, his eyes revealing inquiry, as if seeking his opinion.

Xiao Yan paused for a while, guessed in his heart why Yao Tian came to visit him alone, and nodded slightly. Gu Qinghan then made way for Yao Tian to come in, then left the room and gently closed the door, leaving Xiao Yan and Yao Tian alone in the room.

"Young Clan Leader Yao Tian, ​​please take a seat." Xiao Yan politely invited Yao Tian to sit down, and only after Yao Tian sat down did he ask, "Excuse me, is there anything you forgot to say just now?"

Yao Tian looked into Xiao Yan's azure eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke in a deep voice after a long while.

"Xiao Yan, I have previously sent someone to the family to investigate the matter of Senior Yao Chen."

Yao Tian's words made Xiao Yan's brows twitch, but he did not speak. He listened quietly to what Yao Tian said next.

"I'm sorry. Your mentor has suffered such injustice due to the poor management of the family. As the young patriarch, I feel deeply guilty."

After saying these sincere words, Yao Tian bowed deeply to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at Yao Tian who bowed his head, his azure eyes flickering, and after a long time he spoke softly.

"Please raise your head, Young Patriarch Yao Tian. I am not Senior Yao, and I am not qualified to accept your apology. You are not Yao Wangui, so there is no reason for you to bow your head and apologize."

Yao Wangui, the chief of the Yao clan's Punishment Hall, is in charge of punishments. He is in a high position and has great power. He can decide the life and death of clan members by himself. He is also the culprit who caused Yao Chen to suffer injustice in the first place.

In order to allow his confidant to win the first place in the Medicine Clan's Medicine Competition, Yao Wangui replaced the Starry Sky Grass, one of the materials for the Six-Rank Seven-Core Pill that Yao Chen was going to refine in the finals of the Medicine Competition, causing Yao Chen's failure in refining the pill. He then falsely accused Yao Chen of stealing the herbs. Yao Chen's parents ran around for this until they died, but they were unable to prevent Yao Chen from being expelled from the Medicine Clan.

What Xiao Yan said was very rational and fair, and it was indeed the case. The injustice that Yao Chen had suffered in the Yao Clan had nothing to do with Yao Tian, ​​so he really didn't need to apologize, and Xiao Yan was not qualified to accept an apology on behalf of his teacher.

However, despite this, Yao Tian heard an even colder and more distant tone in Xiao Yan's words than before.

Yao Tian took the initiative to bring up this matter in the hope of easing the grudge between the two parties, but now it seems that it made Xiao Yan even angrier.

After figuring this out, Yao Tian raised his head and looked closely at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I know that it is wishful thinking to just apologize to resolve this matter. Please rest assured that when the Yao Clan comes this time, I will make Yao Wangui apologize to Senior Yao Chen in person and receive the corresponding punishment. Please..." "According to the punishment?"

Xiao Yan interrupted others very rarely. His azure eyes were even colder and flashing with a scarlet fierce light.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the dazed Yao Tian with an extremely cold expression, and asked in a deep voice.

"Then I want him to die, can you do that too?"

"."

Yao Tian, ​​who originally wanted to say something, was speechless after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

Yao Tian could clearly see from Xiao Yan's eyes that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. If he said anything to save the situation, then Xiao Yan would not only hate the Yao Clan, but would also hate himself.

"Young Clan Leader Yao Tian, ​​I've told you before that this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty. Yao Wangui is a member of your Yao Clan after all. As the young clan leader, it's only natural for you to protect him. I won't feel disgusted with you for this, so please rest assured."

“But similarly, don’t try to persuade me, let alone persuade my teacher to be magnanimous.” Xiao Yan said, the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer concealed, and the red light pierced Yao Tian’s bones and made him feel cold. “I’m going to leave it at that today. As long as I’m alive, Yao Wangui must die. It’s a matter of time.”

During these three years, because Yao Chen had an abnormal personality, Xiao Yan went to ask Han Feng and Feng Xian about many things about Yao Chen's past that he didn't know about. Maybe they would find clues that could help Yao Chen recover.

It was also during this period that Xiao Yan finally learned about the injustice that Yao Chen had experienced in the Yao Clan. At that time, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He only knew that Yao Chen was expelled from the Yao clan, but he never imagined that there was such an unknown injustice.

It was at that moment that Xiao Yan's disgust towards the Yao Clan as a group instantly soared to the peak, and at the same time he felt bottomless guilt towards Yao Chen.

Yao Chen must have been unable to forget that past until now, but when he said he wanted to win over the eight clans, Yao Chen didn't say a word. Instead, she was full of support and never mentioned the injustice she had suffered in the Yao clan. She was afraid that Xiao Yan would exclude the Yao clan because of her. This would not be a good thing for either Xiao Yan or the Tianhe Alliance.

His teacher would rather suppress her grievances in her heart and defend her own path. Although Xiao Yan was moved, he also felt ashamed.

Therefore, no matter who says something about this matter, it is useless and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

"Young Patriarch Yaotian, if there is nothing else, please go back."

Xiao Yan stood up and spread out one hand to see the guest off. Yao Tian was silent for a while, but finally stood up, nodded to Xiao Yan, turned around and left.

Xiao Yan will not give in on this matter, and neither can Yao Tian.

Not to mention that Yao Wangui is already in a high position of power in the Yao clan. Even if he is just an ordinary member of the Yao clan, as the young clan leader, handing over his own members for an outsider would definitely make all the Yao clan members feel disheartened.

After all, the other Yao clan members were unaware of the injustice that Yao Chen had suffered, and they could not empathize with him. What they saw was that their young clan leader sent Yao Wangui out to die just to please Xiao Yan.

This thing must never be done.

After leaving the room, Yao Tian looked up and sighed, his face full of sorrow. He lightly held his forehead with a deep bitter smile on his lips.

"It's really hard to be the young patriarch."

Yao Tian looked lonely and walked away slowly and leisurely.

The three years in the Tianhe Alliance gave him many insights, and the person who left the deepest impression on him was undoubtedly Xiao Yan.

It can be said that as long as you can gain Xiao Yan’s trust, you will have it in this life.

Now, the Yao Clan, as the weakest of the eight remaining clans, should have been the family most eager to form an alliance with Xiao Yan. However, because of Yao Wangui, there is no room for easing this matter.

"Brother, I'm looking for you."

Just when Yao Tian was feeling depressed, a clear and pleasant voice came into his ears. Yao Tian turned around and saw that it was his sister Yao Ling.

When Yao Ling saw the sad expression on Yao Tian's face, he frowned slightly and walked up to Yao Tian and asked in confusion.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You seem very depressed."

"Nothing." Yao Tian let out a long sigh and looked at Yao Ling and asked, "You just said you had something to talk to me about?"

Yao Ling nodded.

"Well, the family just sent a message that they will send people to Tianhe League in the next two days. I don't know why it happened so suddenly."

Yao Ling tilted his head with curiosity as he spoke, while Yao Tian was as clear as a mirror.

Needless to say, they must have come for the matter of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire is absolutely a treasure to their Medicine Clan. After receiving the news of the birth of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, there is no reason for them not to send people out to try to snatch it.

"Okay, I got it." Yao Tian waved his hand weakly, then walked past Yao Ling and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Yao Ling and asked, "By the way, who did you send?"

"It's Elder Yao Wangui."

Yao Ling replied like this, but the next second, she saw with her own eyes that Yao Tian’s face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Why the hell could you send someone else over here, Yao Wangui? At this critical moment?
"Quick! Send a message to family immediately and ask them to replace someone!"

Yao Tian suddenly turned around and pressed Yao Ling's shoulders tightly, urging him. The force was so great that Yao Ling felt pain and looked at his brother in shock.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You're so excited all of a sudden. What's wrong with Elder Yao Wangui?"

"Don't ask too many questions. Just replace someone in the family right away!"

Yao Tian urged again, Yao Ling frowned, and then his eyes looked a little helpless.

"Even if you say so, it's too late. The news I just received was probably sent by them yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, Elder Yao Wangui will bring people here tomorrow. It's too late to send a message to change people now."

"."

Hearing Yao Ling's words, Yao Tian's already ugly face became even gloomier. He slowly let go of Yao Ling's shoulders and walked to the wall, banging his head against the wall again and again. His mentally ill look made Yao Ling tremble in his heart, and his eyes were suddenly filled with worry.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

"Nothing. I just want to die." (End of this chapter)
