Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"He must have thought in his mind that he couldn't let what he did affect others. He was like that before."

Just as Xiao Yixian said, what Xiao Yan was thinking about at this moment was to prevent these bloodstains from affecting the restaurant's business, so he squatted on the ground and wiped it very carefully, for fear of leaving any bad-looking marks.

After changing three rags and pouring out six basins of red blood water, all the blood stains on the ground finally disappeared. Xiao Yan poured out the last basin of blood water, washed the basin with clean water and put it back to its original place.

Yunying, who had watched the whole process, was now full of questions.

Obviously, Xiao Yan's actions once again exceeded her cognition.

Isn't it necessary to kill someone and then erase all traces so carefully under normal circumstances?

If it had been anyone else, Yunying might have thought it was just to destroy the body and eliminate traces, not wanting others to know what she had done.

But for Xiao Yan, there is absolutely no such possibility. Even if someone asks him, he will definitely say openly that he was the one who killed that person.

What's more, the one who did the evil first was the unscrupulous stall owner, so there was no need for Xiao Yan to conceal it deliberately. He was absolutely right in this matter, so there was no need for him to wipe off the bloodstains.

If this is the case, then it can only be as Xiao Yixiang said, that she does not want what she has done to affect others.

Oh~ this is really

Yunying couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Whenever she thought she knew Xiao Yan well enough, Xiao Yan would always do something beyond her understanding.

The surprises that Xiao Yan brought to him were simply endless.

As Yunying thought so, her focus shifted to the black energy in Xiao Yan's body.

Most people can't see it, but she can see it clearly.

Those black air are undoubtedly souls infected by extremely strong negative emotions.

Yunying has seen so many souls with her own eyes so far, and many of them are the souls of powerful people who are famous in the history of the continent.

But no soul has negative emotions as strong as Xiao Yan's.

Yunying also noticed that during the period when the black energy emerged, Xiao Yan's actions would become quite extreme, completely different from his usual style of behavior.

Yunying had never seen such negative emotions that could affect a person to the point of almost replacing him.

No. I haven't even heard of it.

Under normal circumstances, a person will suddenly give people the impression that he has become another person, except in one situation, that is, when he completely loses all memories of his past.

A person's character and behavior are evolved based on past experiences, so it is natural that one will become a different person after completely losing all memories.

But Xiao Yan's situation was completely different.

Obviously, he had a very clear memory of how he had just brutally treated the unscrupulous stall owner, and he knew very well that he was the one who did it.

But he was not surprised at all, as it was completely different from his usual style.

It was as if Xiao Yan felt from the bottom of his heart that this was what he should do.

It's really incomprehensible.

Yunying felt a little distressed in her mind, but then put it aside.

It doesn’t matter ~ There is still a long time to go, and there is plenty of time for us to figure out what is going on.

If things really develop into a very troublesome situation for Xiao Yan, it is not impossible for us to help.

After all, when it comes to anything related to the soul, no one in the entire continent is better than us.

"Let's go, let's go back first, Qinglin is still waiting there."

Xiao Yan said this, and returned to the private room with Yunying and Xiao Yixian.

And Qing Lin, who had been sitting obediently and worriedly in the private room following Xiao Yan's previous instructions, saw the three people coming back, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her little face.

"Master Xiao Yan!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Xiao Yan came to Qing Lin's side, seemed to sense Qing Lin's worry, reached out his hand and gently stroked her head to comfort her.

Immediately, Xiao Yan's face turned stern and his gaze turned to Yun Ying, who was facing him with his fists clasped.

"Sorry, Brother Yun, I'll stop here today. I have some things to take care of. We'll talk next time."

Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's serious face, spread out the fan to cover half of his face, narrowed one eye slightly, and asked.

"Do you need our help? The other party's identity should be a bit troublesome, right?"

The president of the Red Sand City Alchemist Guild was considered upper class in the Jia Ma Empire, so it would be difficult for Xiao Yan to deal with him.

This has nothing to do with strength, it’s simply because Xiao Yan’s status is not that high.

Of course, if we have to be more serious, Xiao Yan’s strength is not strong enough to ignore status. If it were Yun Ying, even if she destroyed the Jia Ma royal family in front of everyone, no one would dare to say no.

As for Yunying's kindness, Xiao Yan gently rejected it.

"I was the one who caused this trouble, how could I implicate Brother Yun?" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Ying and said softly, "Brother Yun, I will take Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to a safe place first, and then we'll say goodbye."

"Well, that can't be helped, Mr. Xiao, we'll meet again if we're lucky."

Yunying nodded slightly and waved goodbye to Xiao Yan and the other two.

After Xiao Yan and the other two left, Yun Ying closed her folding fan. Her originally warm expression turned extremely cold and she murmured coldly.

"You dare to spoil my fun, you are really worthy of admiration~"

Yunying's words, which sounded like approval, actually revealed a deep sense of displeasure.

"Red Sand City?"

Yunying sneered and looked at the sky outside the window.

Then Yunying's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, Xiao Yan brought Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin back to the Nalan family. Nalan Jie, who was walking in the yard, saw the three of them coming back and greeted them softly.

"Xiao Yan, you guys are back. How was your visit to the Alchemist Gathering?"

"Thanks to Grandpa Nalan, Xiao Yan was able to buy a lot of things he needed." Xiao Yan first answered Nalan Jie's question, then clasped his hands together and asked Nalan Jie, "Grandpa Nalan, please let Xiao Yixian and Qinglin stay at the Nalan family for a while. Xiao Yan has something to deal with."

"Ok?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Jie frowned slightly. His years of experience made him instinctively realize something, and he asked softly.

"Are you in any trouble?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Nalan. I can handle it myself."

Xiao Yan said in a serious voice. He knew that as long as he spoke up, Nalan Jie would definitely help him, not to mention that he was right, even if he was not right.

But in Xiao Yan's heart, this matter was caused by himself, so he should solve it by himself and not trouble Nalan Jie.

"Well, that's fine." Nalan Jie also knew Xiao Yan's character, and nodded helplessly, "Go ahead, I will protect these two girls, and no one will dare to act wildly in the Nalan family."

"Yes! Thank you, Grandpa Nalan!"

Xiao Yan thanked them in a solemn voice, then turned to look at Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin.

"You guys wait here first, I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Little Medical Fairy responded softly, and Qing Lin beside her nodded silently.

Then, Xiao Yan walked past the two people and headed towards the outside of the Nalan family.

However, before he could step out of the yard, a man rushed in in a panic, walked past Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy Qing Lin, and knelt on one knee in front of Nalan Jie.

When Nalan Jie saw the man's attire, his expression suddenly became serious.

This is the army's emergency messenger. Any order delivered by this kind of soldier must be an extremely urgent matter.

Could it be the Yunlan Sect? !

Considering the recent events, Nalan Jie's first reaction was what Yunlan Sect had done first.

Just as Nalan Jie was thinking about this, the messenger reported in a stern voice.

"Report to Marshal Nalan! We just received a report that the entire Chisha City suddenly disappeared without any warning! No trace of them can be found!!!"

Chapter 238 Must be cowardly

"What did you say?!!"

The messenger's report made Nalan Jie's pupils shrink suddenly, and he couldn't help but let out a roar!

That's Red Sand City! A huge city comparable to Black Rock City! How could it just disappear?!

"Is the news true?!"

Nalan Jie put his hand on the messenger's shoulder, Zheng Sheng confirmed, and the messenger also raised his head and looked directly at Nalan Jie, answering sternly.

"It's absolutely true! We have confirmed it more than a dozen times. There is really nothing where the Red Sand City is! Not even a trace is left!!!"

"this?!!"

Nalan Jie's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, I have to go to the palace and I can't protect your friend."

"It's okay, Xiao Yan can understand." Xiao Yan nodded seriously, "Grandpa Nalan, you can go ahead and do your work. I will figure out my own way."

"Ah."

Nalan Jie nodded, then quickly left the Nalan family with the messenger.

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Jie's departing back and frowned tightly.

Red Sand City.

If Xiao Yan's memory was correct, the Alchemist Guild that Kuro belonged to was located in Chisha City.

Could it be that it has something to do with that Kuro?

While Xiao Yan was thinking this in his heart, Yao Chen in the ring felt deeply depressed.

The moment he heard the report from the messenger, Yao Chen almost determined who was responsible for this.

After all, with that woman's strength, making a city disappear is a piece of cake.

Sure enough, that woman was not a good person.

Just as Yao Chen was murmuring this in his heart, the scene began to shift.

In the Holy City of Gama, inside the imperial palace, Jia Xingtian sat on the throne with a solemn expression on his face, slightly bent at the waist, with his hands folded in front of his chest, clenched tightly.

Chisha City, a huge city comparable in size to Black Rock City.

Chisha City is home to millions of people and is one of the indispensable cities in the Gama Empire.

However, just today, just now, this huge city disappeared without a trace in an instant!

Are you kidding me? This is not just a simple enemy attack!

There are many people in the Gama Empire who can destroy the entire Chisha City and kill all its residents.

But to make the entire city disappear in less than a day is impossible even if the two largest forces in the Gama Empire, the Gama Royal Family and the Yunlan Sect, join forces!

No matter who you tell this to, they will find it shocking! It is impossible!

"what is going on?"

Jia Xingtian coldly questioned the messenger in the audience, who lowered his head and responded loudly.

"Report to Jialao! We found some merchants who happened to be traveling outside the city when Chisha City disappeared, and we got their consistent confessions."

"Red Sand City really did disappear suddenly before their eyes, without any warning!"

After listening to the messenger's report, Jia Xingtian's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand.

He could almost conclude that the disappearance of Chisha City had nothing to do with any force in the Gama Empire.

No! It's not just the Holy City of Gama! It has nothing to do with the entire Northwest Continent!

No force in the Northwest Continent could possibly make a city of the size of Chisha City disappear in the blink of an eye!!!

It must have been done by some powerful person from other regions. As for the reason, Jia Xingtian couldn't guess it.

Jia Xingtian knew that for those powerful people who were high up in the sky, destroying a city at will did not require any reason at all.
