Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

He turned his head slightly and looked towards the distant Yunlan Mountain, his brows slightly furrowed.

Perhaps it can only be solved by the parties involved themselves, as Furukawa said.

Yunlan Sect, inside the main hall.

Yun Yun sat at the desk, staring at the list spread out on the table and several scrolls displayed next to it, her purple eyes full of distress.

These lists were compiled by the royal family and were the compensations to be paid for the crimes committed by the Yunlan Sect during Yunling's reign.

Although Yunshan stepped in and the Yunlan Sect was at least saved, compensation is still necessary.

Of course, the royal family did not ask for these compensations in order to take the opportunity to plunder the assets of the Yunlan Sect. Most of the funds handed over by the Yunlan Sect would be used to fill the funding gaps of the Alchemist Guild and the Miter Auction House. When the Yunlan Sect handed over these compensations to the royal family, the royal family would in turn distribute them to the Alchemist Guild and the Miter Auction House.

Now the Alchemist Guild and Miter Auction House's support for Chisha City can almost be said to be working at a loss. Being able to hold out for two months is already a great respect for the royal family. The royal family cannot come up with much money at the moment, so the compensation will be paid by the Yunlan Sect.

Anyway, most of the responsibility for the snake people's affairs lies with the Yunlan Sect. This can be regarded as the Yunlan Sect's atonement and there is nothing to be wronged about.

Yunshan had no objection to the compensation. After all, this was indeed done by Yun Leng, who was once the grand elder of the Yunlan Sect, and he would not refute it.

Just think of it as the price that the Yunlan Sect had to pay in order to avoid being forcibly disbanded. Most of this money was indeed ill-gotten gains, and it would be more reassuring to pay it out.

"call"

Yun Yun stood up, took a long breath, put away the scroll she had just reviewed and put it aside, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is this what Yun Leng has been doing all these years?

It was during this period of time that Yun Yun finally understood from the bottom of her heart how much Yun Leng had worried about the Yunlan Sect over the years. Even if he had taken the wrong path, this was an indisputable fact.

In comparison, I, as the sect leader, was really derelict in my duty. If it weren't for Yun Leng, the Yunlan Sect would have collapsed long ago.

"It seems that we need to arrange for more disciples to go down the mountain to gain experience."

Yun Yun relaxed her brows as she felt a headache coming on, murmuring this.

There is no other way. With the existing assets of Yunlan Sect, the compensation is really not enough. The only way is to find another way to earn money. Sending disciples down the mountain can save expenses within the sect and also allow the disciples to contribute to the sect's finances.

Of course, we can't let the disciples pay money in vain. We have to list special indicators such as contribution values ​​so that the disciples can work hard on their cultivation while also being more active in paying tribute to the sect. In addition to reviewing the compensation, Yun Yun has been busy with this matter during this period.

At this moment, a bold voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.

"Yun Yun!"

Hearing this voice, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a headache.

Here we go again

The next moment, Zi Yun's figure appeared outside the hall and walked in swaggeringly, with a piece of barbecue in his mouth and another piece in his hand. He came to Yun Yun and handed the barbecue in his hand to her.

"You haven't eaten yet? Please~"

Looking at the barbecue in front of her, Yun Yun was helpless. She was about to refuse, but suddenly she felt nauseous. She covered her mouth, tilted her head to the side and began to dry heave, waving to Ziyun repeatedly.

"Stay away from me. I can't stand the smell now"

"Ah? Are you okay?" Seeing Yun Yun's uncomfortable expression, Zi Yun raised her eyebrows slightly and sniffed the barbecue in her hand. "It smells fine."

"Don't worry, I just haven't been feeling well lately."

Yun Yun recovered and spoke as usual, while Zi Yun nodded in understanding.

"Is that so?" Zi Yun took a bite of the barbecue and said nonchalantly, "I thought you were pregnant. When I was pregnant with my son, I was in a similar situation. I felt like vomiting when I smelled meat."

"Forehead"

Yun Yun's expression suddenly froze.

Ziyun didn't know that she was pregnant, and Yunyun didn't dare let Ziyun know.

Given Ziyun's carefree personality, if I tell her about this, I might get into big trouble if she lets it slip to someone.

Yun Yun looked at Zi Yun, who was sitting on a chair, not caring about her queenly image and happily chewing the barbecue in her hand, her eyes full of helplessness.

It has been like this for some time. Whenever Ziyun has free time, she takes the little lion king to Yunlan Sect.

There's no other reason, just because I'm bored.

Since Xiao Yan left, Zi Yun didn't know anyone else in Jia Ma Holy City, and she didn't want to go back to the World of Warcraft Mountains where she had lived for who knows how many years, so she set her sights on Yun Yun, the person she had the most contact with besides Xiao Yan.

Even the disciples of the Yunlan Sect had become familiar with the little lion king. Every time Ziyun brought the little lion king here, the disciples of the Yunlan Sect would feed and look after it, while Ziyun would run to the main hall to chat with Yunyun.

At first Yun Yun felt a little annoyed, but gradually she got used to it.

Yunshan has been meditating in the back mountain basically during this period. Although Ziyun often disturbs him and cannot help him, having someone to accompany him makes Yunyun feel less lonely.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly appeared in Yun Yun's mind, and a look of attachment flashed in her eyes.

What is Xiao Yan doing now?

Yun Yun was lost in thought as she thought about this.

Then he suddenly came to his senses and shook his head quickly to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then he lowered his head again, took down another scroll, and reviewed it attentively.

These things are my own fault and I must make up for them.

Not only for myself, but also for the baby in my belly.

Yun Yun didn't want the mother of her child to be someone who couldn't even make up for the mistakes she had made!

The eldest sister is a strong woman, beautiful alone, not a CP, please know

Tomorrow we will continue to return to the Blackhorn plot. I know this plot seems a bit boring at the moment, so I will try to make it interesting (laughs)

Chapter 314 Shameless

In the Black Horn Region, in an alley east of Black Seal City.

Wen Xing looked at the tattered cardboard in front of him with a grim face. There were still fresh traces of multiple adults' footprints on it.

Wen Xing used these cardboard shells to build a house for his younger brothers and sisters that could barely be called a home. But now the house built with cardboard shells has collapsed, and his younger brothers and sisters are nowhere to be found. Combined with the traces of being trampled on the cardboard shells, Wen Xing had a rather bad guess in his mind.

Xiao Yan, who had come with Wen Xing to pick up his younger brother and sister, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the worn cardboards, his brows tightly furrowed.

Wen Xing brought Liu Yiyi to look for him just last night. In addition, it was raining yesterday. If someone came here after Wen Xing left, the traces on the ground would not be so fresh.

Judging from this, these people had just arrived today and had been abducted not long ago.

However, when Xiao Yan exerted his soul power, he could not find even a trace.

What's going on? Soul traces shouldn't disappear so quickly, right?

Just as Xiao Yan was confused, Yao Chen in the ring whispered.

(The traces of the soul here have been deliberately eliminated.)

(Can it be eliminated?) Xiao Yan's expression froze, (Senior Yao, what are you saying?)

(Yes, among those who kidnapped those children, there should be an alchemist.)

Yao Chen's explanation cleared up Xiao Yan's doubts about the disappearance of the soul trace, but then another doubt arose.

Wen Xing's brothers and sisters should be just penniless homeless children that can be found everywhere in the Black Horn Region. Why would a great alchemist kidnap them?

While Xiao Yan was constantly pondering this question in his mind, Yao Chen in the ring frowned and his face was filled with gloom.

If Xiao Yan could see Yao Chen's face, he would definitely see a terrifying look on Yao Chen's beautiful face that had never been revealed before, and his ruby-like eyes were flashing scarlet!

Although Xiao Yan’s talent in alchemy was really good, he had not yet grown up and was far inferior to himself.

Therefore, there are some things that Xiao Yan cannot feel, but Yao Chen can.

Yao Chen was keenly aware of the remaining trace of a soul that was almost gone.

Even if it was just a little bit, Yao Chen was familiar with the breath of this soul trace to the core.

It was the disciple whom he once regarded as his own son, and also the one who harmed him into this state!

After a long time, Yao Chen forced himself to calm his trembling heart and spoke to Xiao Yan in a deep voice.

(Xiao Yanzi, I will show you the way. When we get to the destination, I will stay in the ring. You don't need to talk to me anymore.)

Xiao Yan was stunned by Yao Chen's words, not understanding why Yao Chen suddenly said that.

But in the end, Xiao Yan still listened to Yao Chen's words as always.

(Yes, disciple obeys.)

Then Xiao Yan turned around and whispered to Wen Xing, whose face was ashen.

"Come on, I'll take you to find your brothers and sisters."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Wen Xing's expression instantly recovered. He looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief, then nodded heavily and followed Xiao Yan closely away.

Xiao Yan took Wen Xing out of the alley and followed Yao Chen's instructions to walk on the street. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the end of the street. Yao Chen also said to Xiao Yan again in his heart.

(Xiao Yanzi, it’s the last black room. The rest is up to you.)

After saying that, Yao Chen fell silent. Even Xiao Yan couldn't feel that Yao Chen's soul was still in the ring. It was obvious that Yao Chen had deliberately hidden his soul.

This made Xiao Yan's heart full of doubts.

Just before, even in front of the Dan King Gu He, Yao Chen did not hide himself so well.

Yao Chen was so cautious, as if he was hiding from something.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan, who still couldn't come up with an answer, shook his head lightly.

Forget it, let’s put this aside for now.

Xiao Yan turned his head and pointed at the dark room and instructed Wen Xing.

"Your brother and sister are in that room. Hide first. I will go rescue them."

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing instinctively reveal reluctance.

Those are his own brothers and sisters. Now they are in trouble, and he can only rely on Xiao Yan to save them.

But in the end, Wen Xing still responded in a deep voice.

"Um"

Wen Xing knew that with his own strength, he could not help Xiao Yan at all, and would instead become a burden to him.

Wen Xing's self-awareness is so clear, and it is precisely because of this clarity that he feels unwilling to give in.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists, turned around and hid in the alley on the street.

After seeing Wen Xing hiding, Xiao Yan turned his wrist slightly, slowly walked to the door of the black room, expanded his soul power, and spread it into the room, clearly detecting the situation inside.

Five children, and three men.

A Douling-level man was sitting at the table, a great Dou Shi was standing beside him, and the remaining great Dou Shi was standing in front of the children in the corner of the inner room, seemingly looking at them.

After investigating the situation in the house, Xiao Yan frowned tightly.

It seems there is no alchemist?

From Xiao Yan's perception of soul power, the soul power of these three men was not strong, at least far from the minimum standard of an alchemist.

If that’s the case, then who was the person who previously eliminated the traces of souls in the alley?

At this time, in the dark room, a man with scars all over his face was sitting at the table, resting with his eyes slightly closed and one hand on his cheek.

I felt extremely anxious and uneasy in my heart.

Wang Da, a Dou Ling who lives in the Black Horn Region and waits for death, makes a living by taking private commissions with his two younger brothers, Wang Er and Wang San, who are great Dou masters.

The commission they received this time was to run to an alley and capture all the children and bring them to this room, and not let anyone rescue them within today.

This made Wang Da a little confused. He had received many strange commissions, but this was the first time he received such a strange commission.

Kidnapping some stray kids that can be found everywhere in the Black Horn area and then waiting for others to rescue them, what's the point of this?

What made Wang Da feel most uneasy was that the client directly threw five million gold coins to him before the commission even started, clearly not wanting him to refuse.

Wang Da has done a lot of dirty work, so his mind is much more meticulous than his two younger brothers.

His intuition told him that there was a big problem with the commission entrusted to him by the client.

Spending a huge sum of five million to come up with a commission that could be completed by finding a few fighters made Wang Da feel that something was wrong.

Therefore, when his younger brothers Wang Er and Wang San were excited when they saw the five million gold coins, Wang Da's expression was gloomy.

He really doesn't want to answer it.
