Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

After passing through the portal set up between the Tianhe Alliance and the Black Horn Region, everyone arrived at the Black Horn Region in just half an hour.

“Hey~ This is the Black Horn Region?” Lei Jing glanced at the bustling streets around him and glanced at Xiao Yan. “Although I’ve heard you say that the Black Horn Region has changed a lot before, it’s still surprising to see it in person.”

Lei Jing had never been to the former Black Horn Region in person, but the Black Horn Region was well-known throughout the entire Douqi Continent for how chaotic it was. It was no exaggeration to say that although the former Black Horn Region was only a small place in the northwest continent, it was much more dangerous than Zhongzhou in terms of the degree of chaos.

It is even said that when the eight ancient clans sent their children out for training, they specifically instructed them not to come to the Black Horn Region, lest they be killed here without anyone knowing.

Xiao Yan looked at this familiar city with deep emotion. It could be said that the Black Horn Region was the starting point of his righteous path and the first place to realize his ideals.

“Wow~ Xiao Yan, that’s you, right?” Lei Jing pointed at a statue standing in the square not far away. Although the statue looked young, it looked very similar to Xiao Yan. Behind it stood another statue of a woman holding a giant ruler. “The one next to her should be Xiao Yixian. It seems that you two are quite popular here. Even statues have been erected for you.”

Xiao Yan chuckled, did not comment, and then changed the subject back.

"Let's go to Canaan College. After all, Canaan College was founded by the elders of your Thunder Clan."

"Elder Mang Tianchi, right? I've heard him talk about him before. If I hadn't had to hide my identity at that time, I would have come here for a few years. Maybe I could have become your schoolmate."

Lei Jing joked like this, and then everyone flew towards Canaan College together.

Before leaving, Xun'er took one last look at the statue standing in the square, her expression slightly glowing, and she said secretly in her heart.

If I hadn't been called back by the family at that time, perhaps the position where Xiao Yixian was standing would have been mine.

At this moment, Xun'er once again deeply realized how precious an opportunity she had missed, and she suddenly felt a little more at ease.

Because she found that Xiao Yixian's ridicule of her was completely justified, and Xiao Yixian was absolutely qualified to ridicule her, because at Xiao Yan's most critical moments, it was Xiao Yixian who had always been silently by his side.

Even I don’t even have the right to be angry.

Nalan Yanran also noticed Xun'er's gaze and teased softly.

"Why? Do you regret leaving at that time?"

During the conversations over the past two days, Nalan Yanran also learned a lot about Xun'er's past, including the fact that Xun'er was taken back by her family during the critical period when Xiao Yan established the Evil Prison.

As for Nalan Yanran's teasing, Xun'er responded calmly.

"Yes, I regret it very much. If I were to go back to that time, I would never go back no matter what." Xun'er said, turning her eyes to look at Xiao Yan in the front, staring at his back in a trance, "But things have already passed, and there is no point in regretting. What's important is the present and the future."

"That's right. No matter what happens, you must look forward and never look back. This is my life motto."

Nalan Yanran patted Xun'er on the shoulder and said this, and Xun'er nodded silently.

Soon, everyone arrived at Canaan College. The law enforcement team at the door saw Xiao Yan and his group flying down from the sky, and their eyes widened.

Walking in the air, this is at least Dou Zong level, not to mention so many people.

Realizing that the other party's identity was not simple, the law enforcement officer suddenly became nervous. He gritted his teeth and stood in the doorway, asking.

"Everyone, are you going to enter Canaan College?"

To the surprise of the law enforcement team member, the leader Xiao Yan had a very calm attitude and spoke to the young man in front of him with a smile.

"My name is Xiao Yan. I came here to meet Elder Su Qian. I have something important to discuss with him."

"Would you allow me to report this?"

The law enforcement team asked cautiously. These strong men had weird personalities, one more weird than the other, and one of their words might offend them.

If possible, the law enforcement officers would like to pretend they didn't see them, but since that's their job, they should stick to their posts no matter what, which is quite responsible.

"Of course, that's what it should be."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, making the law enforcement officer breathe a sigh of relief.

Phew~ Fortunately, this strong man seems to be easy to talk to.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and report it." After saying that, the law enforcement officer turned around and wanted to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Yan in astonishment. "Wait. You just said that you are Xiao Yan?"

"Exactly."

Xiao Yan nodded in affirmation. The law enforcement officer's eyes lit up instantly. He turned around and walked in front of Xiao Yan. He even forgot basic etiquette and looked at Xiao Yan's face carefully.

That’s right!

Although he was more mature, there was no doubt that he was the senior Xiao Yan who founded the Evil Prison! This face had always been ranked first on the college's honor roll and had never stepped down. There was no way he would make a mistake!

"Please come in!"

The law enforcement officer immediately stepped aside, bent down respectfully and bowed to Xiao Yan, which made Xiao Yan slightly stunned.

"Aren't you going to report it?"

"No need! Why would we need to inform Senior Xiao Yan about his return to his alma mater? Great Elder Su Qian will definitely not have any complaints!"

The law enforcement team members responded with a shocking voice, while Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Thank you then."

Xiao Yan invited everyone to enter the academy. After walking a few steps, the law enforcement officer suddenly thought of something. He quickly rummaged under the table for a long time, and then stood in front of Xiao Yan and handed him a signature board in front of Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze.

"Senior Xiao Yan, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. It was true. When he returned to the Black Horn Region before, everyone who recognized him chased him for his autograph. Even Xiao Yan did not expect that his autograph would be so popular.

"of course can."

Xiao Yan took the signature board, signed his name in neat handwriting and handed it back. The law enforcement officer felt like he had found a treasure and could not hide the joy on his face. Then he reacted, suppressed his excitement and stepped aside.

"Sorry to have delayed you, please come in!"

The law enforcement team members then returned to their posts happily, holding the signature board. Lei Jing looked at the dazed Xiao Yan and chuckled and joked.

"Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be so popular? How about taking this opportunity to hold a signing event at Canaan College?" Xiao Yan did not respond, but frowned helplessly, and then led everyone into Canaan College.

The Canaan College of today is different from the past. If the former Canaan College was just a place that tried every means to teach students to practice, then the external college of Canaan College of today is a place where a hundred flowers bloom, including civil engineering, art, business, and all kinds of industries. There are even special courses for filming dramas. It goes without saying that this is the new industry introduced by Xiao Mei.

As for those who want to improve their strength, they all go to the inner courtyard. In fact, the ratio of students in the inner and outer courtyards is now one to five. It is obvious that improving strength is no longer the mainstream of Canaan Academy.

Because everyone was walking, they did not attract too much attention along the way. At most, the young students looked at them a few more times because of their maturity, but they all thought that they were probably new teachers or bosses who came to discuss cooperation, so they did not care much.

Although Xiao Yan has always been the most famous person in Canaan College, no one would have thought that this legendary senior would suddenly return to Canaan College. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t recognize him for a while.

Lei Jing and others also looked at the students around them curiously. If they were ten years younger, Lei Jing and others might also be happy to come here to study. Wouldn't it be much more interesting than staying at home to practice?
As they walked, Xiao Yan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Lei Jing looked at him in confusion.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"be lost."

"Huh? Isn't this your alma mater? How can you get lost?"

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to explain, Xun'er spoke first.

"We can't blame Brother Xiao Yan. The outer courtyard has changed so much. It's completely different from when we were in school."

Hearing Xun'er speak, Lei Jing slightly turned her eyes away and stopped worrying about it. Xiao Yan reached out to stop a female student who was passing by and was obviously a good student, and asked.

"Student, could you please tell me how to get to the dean's office?"

"The dean's office? Go straight from here, turn left at the end, turn right at the second fork, then turn left again at the third fork, turn right at the end, then turn right at the second fork and you'll be there."

This female student was also very enthusiastic in pointing out a very precise route for Xiao Yan, but perhaps it was too precise, which made Xiao Yan and others feel confused.

Then the female student saw Xiao Yan's expression and reacted, with a hint of apology on her face.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a bit of a detour. I happen to be free right now, so I'll take you there."

"Then trouble you."

Xiao Yan politely thanked the female student. His azure eyes met hers. His unique mature temperament startled the female student. She couldn't help but blush and turned around quickly.

"You're welcome. Follow me."

Looking at the back of the female student hurrying forward, Lei Jing glanced at Xiao Yan.

"Not bad~ You've seduced the girl on the first meeting."

To be honest, Xiao Yan's image is indeed excellent now. Even women of the same age and above almost all have a good impression of Xiao Yan when they see him, not to mention these little girls who are still in school. He is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Xiao Yan was also troubled by this and held his forehead with his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense. This little girl is only three or four years older than Xiaoxiao. How could she fall in love with an old man like me?"

After saying this, Xiao Yan suddenly reacted and felt uncomfortable inside.

Have I already reached the age of an uncle without realizing it? Time is really scary.

Xiao Yan shook his head, and followed the female classmate with everyone else. Then, they followed the route she had told them before, turning left and right. After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived in front of an ancient high-rise building. The female classmate saw an old man walking out of the building at a glance. It was the Dean of the External College, Hu Qian.

"Dean Hu Qian!"

Hu Qian heard the greeting, looked over, and then smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"Oh~ It's Xiaohan, what's wrong?"

"These guys said they wanted to come to the dean's office, so I brought them here."

The female classmate turned sideways to reveal Xiao Yan and the others. Hu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at them for a while, then suddenly widened his eyes, and in the surprised look of the female classmate, he excitedly stepped forward and held Xiao Yan's hand.

"Oh my! It's been so many years since we last met. Why did you suddenly come back?"

The female classmate looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment. She had been in this school for almost three years. When had she ever seen Hu Qian so enthusiastic? Who was this man?

Xiao Yan also smiled and responded to Hu Qian.

"I'm really sorry, I have so much to do there, and this is the only chance I have to come visit you."

"Hey~ Don't say that. Everyone knows how busy you are now. I'm already very happy that you can remember me as the dean." Hu Qian patted Xiao Yan's hand eagerly, and then glanced behind Xiao Yan, "What? Didn't my grandson come back with us?"

"I wanted to ask her to come back and see you, but I've been really busy lately and can't spare the time. When I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely give her a day off so she can come back and be with you."

Xiao Yan made this assurance and Hu Qian waved his hand lightly.

"No, no, that girl has her own career now. She is very satisfied to come back and spend a few days with me every year. I won't delay her."

At this point, Hu Qian remembered the female classmate who had been left aside, and hurriedly introduced her to Xiao Yan.

"By the way, this girl's name is Ren Han. She is the most outstanding student in this year's School of Management. She will graduate soon." After saying that, Hu Qian looked at Ren Han and urged her, "Girl, hurry up and say hello. Haven't you always wanted to meet your senior? Why don't you have any reaction when you really meet him?"

"Huh? I've always wanted to see him?"

Ren Han was slightly stunned, staring at Xiao Yan's face for a long time, and then suddenly reacted, his eyes full of shock.

"Are you Senior Xiao Yan?!"

Xiao Yan, the legend of Canaan Academy, is the reason why the Black Horn Region, which had been in chaos for a thousand years, has undergone tremendous changes because of him and has become the commercial center of the northwest continent where people can live and work in peace and contentment. Ren Han admires him immensely both from the perspective of a schoolmate and from the perspective of management.

This is the person who can even change the Black Horn Region for the better. This alone is enough to make Xiao Yan the lifelong idol in Ren Han's heart.

Then Ren Han came back to his senses, and was so excited that he forgot all the etiquette. He pulled Hu Qian, who was in front of Xiao Yan, to his back and took his place. His face was flushed, and he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan seriously and solemnly.

The next sentence he said was so shocking that Lei Jing and others behind Xiao Yan all turned pale.

"Senior Xiao Yan! I want to be with you! Please take me!" (End of this chapter)
