Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

With a beautiful face, long silver hair and a dazed look in his eyes, Yao Chen looked at the illusion of his mother's corpse in front of him, despair surging in his heart.

Dad, I'm sorry. I couldn't take good care of mom.
They all say it's my fault. It's all my fault.
If I had a stronger ability, if I could tell that the medicinal materials had been replaced, if I could realize in advance that I had become a thorn in Yao Wangui's side.
I might be able to
Yao Chen knelt weakly on the ground, his eyes filled with despair, and his heart felt like it was falling into a dark valley, falling continuously, falling endlessly.

All that could be seen in the entire field of vision was the fading light.

At the same time, the hatred in my heart rose little by little.

Why.
Why should I suffer all this?
Just because I have extraordinary talents, why should I be framed?
I'm not willing to accept this. I'm not willing to accept this!

Yao Chen continued to sink deeper and deeper, and finally cried out in his heart.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared and responded to her.

【Hate? Resentment?】

[That Yao Wangui has deprived you of everything, whether it is your identity, the status you should have, or your mother. ]

[Why should you let him go? How can you let him go? ]

"We can't let him go."

Yao Chen's ruby-like eyes were lifeless and he kept muttering.

"I want revenge. I want to kill him. I want to avenge my mother."

【Right, that is it. 】

[The reason why you are in this situation is all because of him. 】

【In this case, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. 】

[Don't worry that you can't do it. I will help you. I will help you gain strength. I will help you get revenge. ]

【As long as you hand over your soul】

The voice was so bewitching that it kept on inducing Yao Chen's despair at the moment. Yao Chen slowly opened his seductive cherry lips and almost agreed.

And just then.
"roll!"

A cold yet righteous voice suddenly sounded in Yao Chen's mind, completely dispelling the bewitching voice.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure entered Yao Chen's sight and protected her, making Yao Chen feel unprecedented sense of security. After a brief daze, Yao Chen gradually regained consciousness and recognized the identity of this figure.

His second disciple, Xiao Yan!
Just now, at the moment when Yao Chen was about to sink into complete despair, a light suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan’s arms. It was the complete map that he had collected before the demon fire came into the world.

Although he didn't know what was going on, but when the map glowed, Yao Chen clearly recognized that there was a soul thread tightly wrapped around Yao Chen, which was the source of Yao Chen's despair.

Xiao Yan then acted decisively and cut off the soul thread, thus successfully restoring Yao Chen to consciousness.

"As Senior Yao's disciple, I will definitely avenge her." Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone revealed an incomparable determination, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, "As for you, get out of here!!!"

With an angry shout, the voice that had been bewitching Yao Chen disappeared completely without a trace, and the surrounding illusion also gradually disappeared, turning the original scene gray.

The vast land was surrounded by cliffs, and here, Yao Chen was kneeling on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at Xiao Yan in front of him.

Then, Xiao Yan slowly turned around, squatted down and looked into Yao Chen's dazed eyes. The two of them stared at each other silently for a long time.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Yao Chen gradually came to his senses, and his clear mind immediately figured out what had just happened.

Just now, it must have been an illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the purpose of which was to shatter my mind and make me completely sell my soul to it.

Presumably, all those fire slaves in the past also fell into the hands of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in this way.

Yao Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Before coming here, she had already anticipated the various methods used by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but she never expected it to be so vicious and actually use her deepest memories as a bargaining chip to tempt her to sell her soul!

Then a look of guilt emerged on Yao Chen's beautiful face. He had clearly followed Xiao Yan here just to help him, but judging from his appearance just now, he ended up causing trouble for his disciples.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of guilt, and spoke softly.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."

Before she finished her words, Yao Chen's ruby-like beautiful pupils suddenly froze, and at this moment, she was already tightly embraced by Xiao Yan.

Then, Xiao Yan's deep voice came into his ears.

"I am the one who should say sorry."

Xiao Yan whispered softly, hugging Yao Chen even harder, as if he wanted to use all his strength to protect the mentor in front of him.

Before knowing about Yao Chen's past in the Yao Clan, Xiao Yan only vaguely realized that Yao Chen had experienced some bad things in the Yao Clan before, but because it was the early days of the establishment of the Tianhe Alliance, Xiao Yan did not take this matter to heart at all.

After all, considering Yao Chen's previous carefree and leisurely personality, even if something really happened to Yao Chen, it might just be some unpleasant conflicts and there was no need to take it too seriously.

However, after listening to Han Feng's story and seeing Yao Chen's experience in the Yao Clan with his own eyes, Xiao Yan wished he could go back in time and slap himself hard.

Yao Chen's carefree and unrestrained personality, which appears to be carefree in the eyes of others, may just be an attempt to hide the grievances and resentment in his heart.

Yao Chen wanted to start over and forget what he had experienced in the Yao clan, which is why he gradually developed such a terrible personality.

Yao Chen's personality, which had once caused Xiao Yan so much trouble, now made Xiao Yan feel extremely sad.

If this is the case, if he had known this earlier, Xiao Yan would rather be completely hostile to the Yao Clan and would definitely avenge Yao Chen.

But now, it is not too late, and what Xiao Yan has to do remains unchanged.

"Senior Yao, please rest assured." Xiao Yan hugged Yao Chen tightly and whispered, "I will definitely repay all your hatred for you, no matter who stands in my way."

"You don't have to listen to that voice's instigation. I can help you do the same!"

Yao Chen listened to Xiao Yan's low but extremely firm words, and took back the words he was about to say to dissuade him.

Yes, Yao Chen wanted to dissuade him, and this was his first reaction after hearing Xiao Yan’s words.

Whether before or after his personality change, Yao Chen had already decided in his heart that he must help his disciple realize his ideal. Because of this, when Xiao Yan wanted to form an alliance with the Yao Clan, Yao Chen did not express any opposition but fully supported it, and even secretly asked Han Feng and Feng Xian not to tell Xiao Yan. At this time, if it were not for Yao Chen's inexplicable personality change three years ago, and the Tianhe Alliance had completely entered the right track, Han Feng would definitely not tell Xiao Yan about the injustice Yao Chen suffered in the Yao Clan.

After all, at that time, Xiao Yan, or the Tianhe Alliance, still had a considerable gap with the Medicine Clan. Given Xiao Yan's character, if he had known about this from the beginning, the result would certainly be a break with the Medicine Clan, and the Tianhe Alliance would not have developed as smoothly as it is today.

Han Feng and Feng Xian naturally knew about it, and they both agreed. It was not until Xiao Yan took the initiative to ask about Yao Chen's drastic change in personality that Han Feng told Xiao Yan about Yao Chen's past.

The first reason was that Han Feng was very sure in his heart that Xiao Yan did not want to hide this matter from him. The later he told him, the more guilty Xiao Yan would feel.

The second reason is that Han Feng has always hated the Yao clan in his heart, not for any other reason, just because of Yao Chen.

Han Feng's parents were killed by bandits when she was a child. She only survived because of Yao Chen at the critical moment.

Even if Han Feng was rescued at that time, he no longer had much desire to live. In Han Feng's heart, there was no difference between living and dying.

But it was Yao Chen who accepted her as his disciple and took Han Feng to travel around Zhongzhou. Her free and easy personality gradually opened Han Feng's heart.

It was also during this period that Han Feng slowly regained her desire to live, because she realized that there were other people in this world who cared about her, not just her parents.

Care about your own joys and sorrows, care about whether your life is good, and care about whether your future can be smooth.

Even though Yao Chen is considered to have a bad personality and is a mess in the eyes of people who know her well, he is the first person other than her parents to give Han Feng warmth.

Han Feng also gained new hope because of the drug's sinking effect.

And this hope is that no matter what means are used, we must do our best to protect Yao Shen Zhouquan.

It was because of this obsession that Han Feng hesitated for several times and decided to kill Yao Chen for his future safety, just to allow Yao Chen to escape the pursuit of the Soul Palace. He even made up his mind to become a wicked disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors in Yao Chen's heart, just to let Yao Chen take this as a warning and not experience the same crisis again.

And it was for this reason that Han Feng told Xiao Yan about Yao Chen's past.

Han Feng understands Xiao Yan and agrees with his ideals.

But in Han Feng's heart, Yao Chen always comes first.

Perhaps after telling Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's ideals would be hindered, but before that, if Yao Chen could successfully get revenge through Xiao Yan, it would be worth it for Han Feng to do so.

And the facts proved that Xiao Yan did not disappoint Han Feng.

Before, Xiao Yan had made the decision in his heart just by listening to Han Feng's narration. But now, after witnessing Yao Chen's past with his own eyes, Xiao Yan's determination has increased dozens of times. This idea is firmly imprinted in Xiao Yan's mind.

Yao Wangui must die!
Just as Yao Chen was stunned, Xiao Yan slowly let go of Yao Chen, smiled gently, and held Yao Chen's hand to help her stand up.

"Senior Yao, let's go and find other people."

".Um."

Looking at Xiao Yan's extremely gentle smile, Yao Chen's face was stunned again and again, and finally nodded, letting Xiao Yan hold his hand and walk towards the road in the distance.

Time seems to have slowed down at this moment.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's back and couldn't help but be distracted.

Yao Chen's personality just changed drastically and his memory seemed to be slightly lost, but his memory of his disciple Xiao Yan had never disappeared at all.

In Yao Chen's sight, the petite boy who was much shorter and thinner than he is now and needed his protection at all times has now grown into a man who is able to protect his teacher.

This complete sense of security made Yao Chen feel relaxed, and she didn't ask where Xiao Yan was going to take her. Even if it was hell, she was willing to go with her disciple.

The two of them didn't know how long they had walked. Xiao Yan and Yao Chen saw a group of people gathered at the end of the road. Cai Lin, Danta Patriarch, Xiao Xuan and others were all gathered here, including the envoys of the eight clans.

Cai Lin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Yan. Among them, Xun'er's worried look suddenly turned into joy when she saw Xiao Yan and the other person walking towards them. Just as she was about to step forward, Han Feng on the other side had already walked up quickly, walked past Xiao Yan, took Yao Chen from his hand, and looked Yao Chen up and down with a worried look on her face.

"Teacher, do you feel uncomfortable? Are you bewitched by that voice?"

Yao Chen shook his head slightly and briefly recounted what had just happened. Apparently because he was shy, Yao Chen deliberately concealed the fact that Xiao Yan hugged him tightly during his narration.

After hearing this, Han Feng's expression was as cold as ever, but one could tell from his eyes that he was obviously relieved.

Han Feng had experienced a similar experience as Yao Chen not long ago, and recalled the most painful past in his heart.

However, Han Feng's nature is actually much more determined than that of teacher Yao Chen.

In Han Feng's heart, she really cares about her parents, but at the same time, Han Feng also understands one thing very clearly.

My parents are dead, they died a long time ago. The people I care about now, the people I should care about, are not them.

Because of this, when the voice bewitched her, Han Feng pretended not to hear it and easily broke the illusion. Cai Lin and many others successfully escaped from the illusion with the help of Han Feng.

Afterwards, Han Feng gave Xiao Yan and Yao Chen a brief account of what happened. Everyone present was trapped in the illusion of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Only Han Feng, Ling Jingyan, Danta Patriarch, and Xiao Xuan retained their sanity. Among these three, some had strong minds, some had clear goals, and some had amazing experience. In short, they were among the very few who could break free from the illusion on their own.

Afterwards, with the help of the three people, they pulled out the people who were trapped in the illusion one by one, and then they gathered together.

"This illusion of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is really powerful. It can even bewitch us, but it can even bewitch high-level Dou Shengs."

Xuan Yi couldn't help but sigh, and Xuan Kongzi beside him whispered.

"I once used the Nightmare Sky Mist to make millions of people in a city fall into an illusion. After the mist dissipated, I found that the hundred years of experience were just a dream." Xuan Kongzi said, his tone solemn, "This Pure Lotus Demon Fire may have absorbed the power of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to create such an illusion. Compared with its strength, it has already reached an extremely terrifying level."

Everyone nodded after hearing what Xuan Kongzi said, and Yao Wanhuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, the decision to give up the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in advance was the right one. The current Pure Lotus Demon Fire had obviously far exceeded their past knowledge. Just from this illusion, it could be judged that it was almost certain that it would be impossible to subdue the Medicine Clan.

In that case, it would be better to just give up and do Xiao Yan a favor.

Just when Yao Wanhuo was feeling so thankful, he suddenly saw Xiao Yan walking towards him, which made Yao Wanhuo look puzzled. When he was about to speak, Xiao Yan stared at him coldly in front of everyone without any hesitation and said.

"Once the Pure Lotus Demon Fire incident is over, I will visit the Yao Clan and take Yao Wangui's life."

Xiao Yan said this, completely ignoring Yao Wanhuo's ugly expression for a moment, and uttered the last four words in an extremely gloomy voice.

"Whoever stops me will die." (End of this chapter)
