Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Adding Xingtian's words made Mu Zhan suddenly stand still.

Is this to give the military power of the Mu family directly to me? My grandfather hasn't come back yet!

Mu Zhan quickly came to his senses and quickly lowered his head to refuse.

Although he has always wanted to inherit Mu Chen's mantle and take over Mu Chen's position as general, Mu Zhan has always believed that he will be able to do it sooner or later.

But, it is definitely not the case now. No matter how confident Mu Zhan is, he still has this self-awareness.

"Thank you for your appreciation, old man. However, the military power of the Mu family is now in the hands of my grandfather. I have no right to take over. Moreover, my current ability is not enough."

"He can't come back."

Jia Xingtian interrupted Mu Zhan before he could finish his words, causing Mu Zhan's heart to suddenly tighten. He raised his head blankly, looking at Jia Xingtian with slightly trembling eyes.

"Mr. Jia, what do you mean by this?"

Looking at Mu Zhan's expression, Jia Xingtian felt guilty in his heart. After a long while, he spoke and answered in a deep voice.

"I just received news that General Mu Lao has died in the Tagor Desert, so from now on, you will take over his military power."

! ! ! ! !

"impossible!!!"

Upon hearing the news, Mu Zhan's face instantly became extremely ferocious, and he even forgot his manners and roared at Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Lao! This is absolutely impossible! There is something wrong with this news! There is no way my grandfather died in battle!!!"

Looking at Mu Zhan in front of him, whose face was ferocious and whose angry eyes were flashing with sorrow, Jia Xingtian slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"If possible, I hope so." Jia Xingtian opened his eyes, his old red pupils staring at Mu Zhan, "But unfortunately, this news has been confirmed several times. General Mu has indeed died in battle."

After hearing Jia Xingtian's affirmative words, Mu Zhan stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.

My grandfather died in the war?

Just like that, died in battle?

【As a soldier, you should be upright and daring! 】

[Grandson, you must remember that the people are behind us, we must not retreat! ]

[Remember the responsibility you bear, and never forget it! ]

Recalling all that Mu Chen had done to her in the past, tears slowly rolled down her eyes and her shoulders continued to tremble.

My grandfather died on the front line, but I am here focusing on my love affair

Damn!

Damn thing!!!

Chapter 250 Yun Yun Becomes Popular

"Grandpa." Mu Zhan clenched his fists, looked at Jia Xingtian with red eyes, and choked up a little, "Why did grandpa die in the war?"

Shouldn't my grandfather be accompanying Princess Yaoye to the Snake Tribe to sign a reconciliation agreement? Why did he suddenly...

"I will explain the reason to you later." Jia Xingtian said slowly, his indifferent eyes revealing deep guilt, "But before that, you are not allowed to spread the news of General Mu Chen's death. Do you understand?"

".Mu Zhan, I understand."

Looking at Mu Zhan's distraught back as he left, Nalan Jie felt very sad.

The grandfather whom I have always respected suddenly passed away, and I don’t even know his intention of death.

If I suddenly died in battle without any warning one day, Yanran would definitely look like this.

"Marshal Nalan, draft the document today and have Mu Zhan temporarily replace General Mu Chen. The fact that General Mu Chen died in battle will be kept secret for now. We will hold a funeral for General Mu Chen after this incident is over, and officially hand over the military power to Mu Zhan."

When Jia Xingtian said this, Nalan Jie clasped his hands together and responded in a deep voice.

"As you command, I will do it right away."

"The news of the Snake People's rebellion must not be spread to others, especially not to Xiao Yan." Jia Xingtian put his hand on the railing and looked at Xiao Yan who was concentrating on the competition in the venue. "If he knew that his sister was captured, he would definitely not go according to the plan."

With Xiao Yan's character, if he knew that Xiao Xi and Xiao Li were controlled by the snake people for no reason, he would definitely go to rescue them as soon as possible, and then the whole plan would be messed up.

In Jia Xingtian's plan, Xiao Yan's existence is necessary, and Jia Xingtian must not allow him to act recklessly.

Nalan Jie was naturally well aware of this.

Nalan Jie was quite reluctant. He knew that this matter was very important to Xiao Yan, but he still had to hide it against his will.

But in the end, Nalan Jie still chose the responsibility he shouldered and responded with his head down.

"I understand, sir."

Jia Ma Empire, Yunlan Sect.

In the hall, four middle-aged men were sitting.

The middle-aged man in the first place was Yun Lan Sect’s great elder, Yun Leng.

As Sect Master Yun Yun is often away from the sect and the previous Sect Master Yun Shan is in seclusion, he is the highest-ranking person in the Yunlan Sect.

At this moment, Yun Leng frowned tightly, looking at the two letters he had just received in his hand with a serious expression.

One was a reply from Gu He, and the other was a secret report on the snake people's rebellion.

Logically speaking, after the incident with the Mo family, Yun Ling had expected that the royal family was ready to officially take action against the Yun Lan Sect. These days, Yun Ling had been thinking about how to respond. That was why he wrote a letter to Gu He, hoping that Gu He would stand on the side of the Yun Lan Sect when the Yun Lan Sect and the Jia Ma royal family officially confronted each other in the future.

Although Gu He is now an elder of the Yunlan Sect, he is ultimately just a guest elder, with only a title. This means that Gu He can come and go as he pleases, and the Yunlan Sect has no way to restrain him.

If Gu He can be successfully tied to Yunlan Sect, it will definitely add considerable capital to Yunlan Sect's actions against the royal family.

Gu He's own strength is indeed average.

But the identity of the sixth-grade alchemist is unique in the Gama Empire, which also means that the Yunlan Sect can use Gu He's name to recruit a lot of helpers from the Gama Empire.

It's a pity that Yun Leng has been writing to Gu He for a long time, but Gu He has not made any response. Just when Yun Leng was about to give up Gu He and consider finding another way, Gu He suddenly wrote back.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, it implicitly expressed the willingness to stand on the side of the Yunlan Sect.

This should be something to be happy about.

But when it came together with another secret report about the snake people's rebellion, Yun Leng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Isn't this a little too coincidental?

Gu He had not replied to messages before, but he responded to them just as the news of the snake people's rebellion came. Yun Leng always felt that something was wrong.

Was it really just a coincidence? Or did Gu He know about the snake people's rebellion in advance and decided to stand on the side of Yunlan Sect? Or was there some other unknown reason?

However, Yun Leng was so worried that the other three elders became a little restless.

The fourth elder Yun Fan, in particular, cheered excitedly.

"Great Elder! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The snake people are rebelling, and Gu He has also agreed to our request. Even if the royal family wants to take action, we are not afraid!"

"What the Fourth Elder said is correct. Moreover, there are many retired disciples of the Yunlan Sect in the Holy City of Jiama. Even if the royal family really wants to break off relations with us, they will have to think twice."

The second elder, Yun Du, pinched his beard lightly and agreed. The third elder, Yun Sha, also nodded in agreement.

But Yun Leng still had a worried look on his face.

Yun Leng knew everything that the Yunlan Sect had done under the instructions of their four elders. To put it bluntly, even if they were sentenced to death, they would have to die ten times to offset the crimes they had committed.

Because of this, Yun Leng is more cautious and suspicious than the other three elders.

After a long while, Yun Leng put the letter in his hand on the table and asked the three elders in a deep voice.

"Let's not talk about Gu He for now. In the opinion of the three elders, is it possible that the news of the snake people's rebellion is fake?"

It was no wonder that Yun Ling was so suspicious. After the incident with the Mo family, the relationship between the royal family and the snake people had obviously eased a lot. They even sent General Mu Chen to escort Yao Ye to the snake people's tribe to sign a reconciliation treaty. How could a powerful person with unknown origins appear during this period of time and force the snake people to rebel? Was it really such a coincidence?

"Whether this is true or not, we can find out by sending someone to investigate." Yun Du raised his hand and said slowly, "And even if this news is false, what good will it do for the royal family to do this?"

Even if the Snake People's rebellion was a show, what was their purpose in acting? If the royal family was really determined to attack the Yunlan Sect, wouldn't they just call the Snake People over? Why bother with all this?

And this is the point that Yun Leng cannot understand the most.

If this news is true, Yun Leng would naturally be very happy. By cooperating with the snake people's rebellion, the Yunlan Sect could not only confront the Jia Ma royal family head-on, but might even be able to take this opportunity to ban it.

But if it's fake, what good is it to the royal family? Why did they do this?

Yun Leng lowered his brows and thought for a long time before speaking.

"No matter what, we must first confirm the authenticity of this information." Yun Leng looked at Yun Fan and whispered, "Fourth Elder, go check the information now to see if the real situation is as stated in this secret report."

"Yes!"

Yun Fan responded in a stern voice, then stood up and left the hall, spreading his wings of fighting spirit and flew away from the Yunlan Sect.

After confirming and feeling that Yun Fan's fighting spirit had already left the Yunlan Sect, Yun Leng glanced at Yun Du and Yun Sha, his expression becoming a little colder.

"If the Fourth Elder doesn't come back, it means that this intelligence is false. At the same time, Gu He's reply letter cannot be trusted. At that time, we can only pin our hopes on the retired disciples in Jia Ma Holy City."

Yun Leng's words were devoid of any emotion, and he completely treated Yun Fan as a discarded pawn. Yun Du and Yun Sha were not moved at all by this.

There is not enough time to send other people to check the authenticity of the news of the Snake People’s rebellion, so we can only send Dou Wang.

Yunfan was the last to become an elder. The three of them didn't have much affection for him. What's more, Yunfan was only a three-star Dou Wang. In the confrontation with the Jia Ma royal family, it didn't make much difference whether he was there or not.

"Third Elder, you have a list of retired Yunlan Sect disciples in Jiama Holy City who are in various industries, right? You should stay in Jiama Holy City during this period and try to contact some retired disciples who hold important positions, and be ready to incite them at any time."

"Yes."

Yunsha nodded, and when he was about to get up to carry out Yunling's order, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open and a man walked in.

When they saw this person, Yun Leng and the other two were all stunned.

The leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun.

"Master! You are back!"

Yun Leng stood up immediately. He had been worried about where Yun Yun had gone these past two days. There was no news at all and he couldn't find her even if he wanted to.

After all, they are about to face off against the royal family. With Yun Shan in seclusion, Yun Lan Sect only has Yun Yun, the Dou Huang, and Yun Leng really needs her.

But at the same time, Yun Leng also had a trace of fear and uneasiness towards Yun Yun in his heart.

Yun Yun, the sect leader, had no idea what his elders did in secret.

Looking at Yun Leng who stood up to greet them, Yun Yun stared at him coldly with her purple eyes, then her lips slightly opened and closed, uttering words that made Yun Leng and the other two's hearts tighten.

"If I come back later, I'm afraid Yunlan Sect will be in ruins."

"this?!"

Yun Leng and the other two felt a sudden chill in their hearts, but Yun Leng came to his senses immediately and said with a dry laugh.

"Master, please stop joking. The Yunlan Sect is now at its peak, how could it possibly become a ruin?"

As soon as Yun Leng finished speaking, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes flashed with extreme anger, her fighting spirit burst out, and she cursed loudly.

"Yun Leng!!! Do you really think you can hide what you did from me forever?!"

! ! ! ! !

Seeing Yun Yun with a ferocious and furious face in front of them, Yun Leng and the other two felt their hearts skip a beat.

She really knew!!!

"Have all the things your teacher taught you about being upright and righteous, and how to behave, been eaten by dogs?!!"

"Now that the royal family is about to come to your door, you still dare to deny it in front of me? How can you have the nerve to bear the title of elder of Yunlan Sect?!!"

Yun Yun's emotions became more and more intense as she spoke. Finally, she could no longer hold back and took out the sword from her storage ring. She pointed it at Yun Leng in front of her, and her purple eyes flashed with deep murderous intent.

He clenched his teeth and spoke resentfully word by word.

"Today, I will, as the leader of the Yunlan Sect, clean up the mess for my teacher!!!"

I'm angry!

Yun Yun is really popular!!!

"Master! Please listen to me!!!"

Yun Leng was sweating profusely. He didn't care whether he had anything to say in his head or not. He spoke first to try to calm Yun Yun down.

Yun Yun looked at the three elders in front of her who had devoted themselves to the Yunlan Sect for many years. She gritted her teeth and her jade hand holding the sword kept trembling slightly. It was obvious how conflicted she was at the moment.

Finally, Yun Yun angrily swung the sword in her hand, leaving a deep sword mark on the wall of the hall, and shouted harshly.
