Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

If he doesn't come out and speak, all of them will die here!

"Reporting to the clan leader, the Xiao clan saint guard that I arranged earlier could not be found, and no trace of a fight was found at the scene. According to my speculation, either he took Xiao Ying away, or a Dou Sheng strongman killed him and took Xiao Ying away."

What the captain of the Xiao clan's Holy Guard said was well-founded. The strength of the dead Xiao clan's Holy Guard was indeed the weakest among all the Xiao clan's Holy Guards, but he was also a one-star Dou Zun after all. Even with his strength as a captain at the peak of Dou Zun, it was impossible for him to leave no traces of battle.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

One is that he took Xiao Ying away for some reason.

The second is that a Dou Sheng strongman killed him for some reason and took Xiao Ying away.

Listening to the words of the Xiao Clan Holy Guard Captain, Xiao Wuyun gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst. He was so angry that he suddenly waved his hand. The head of the Xiao Clan Holy Guard Captain suddenly exploded, and the headless body fell to the ground. On the ground, even the soul was casually annihilated by Xiao Wuyun.

The others looked at their captain's tragic end, but no one dared to make a sound. They all trembled and lowered their heads.

"Go! Find him for me!" Xiao Wuyun turned his head, his eyes glowing with murderous intent as he glared at the Xiao clan's holy guards. "No matter what means you use, you must find Xiao Ying for me!"

"Follow me!!!"

All the Xiao clan holy guards responded in unison, not daring to even look at the remains of their captain, and all of them disappeared into the underground prison, leaving Xiao Wuyun alone here, staring at the prison.

There was unrest in the Xiao clan during this period.

For some unknown reason, the Xiao clan's Holy Guards, under the orders of the clan leader, began searching house to house, from the ordinary clan members at the lowest level to the elders at the highest level, no one was spared.

As for what to search for, the Xiao clan's holy guards did not say clearly and were only focused on searching. With the clan leader's order, the Xiao clan members did not dare to slack off in the slightest and could only assist in the search with doubts and great reluctance. The three elders' mansions were the targets of a thorough investigation.

At this time, in the Great Elder’s Mansion.

"Great Elder, Miss Xiao Ling, I am sorry for the rudeness."

After searching the Grand Elder's Mansion, the three Xiao clan holy guards spoke in a solemn voice, then turned around and left.

Looking at the departing backs of the Xiao clan's holy guards, the great elder stood with his hands behind his back, his old eyes narrowed slightly.

Although these Xiao clan holy guards did not explicitly say what they were searching for, he had probably guessed that it was probably related to Xiao Ying who was imprisoned by Xiao Wuyun.

Thinking of the things that he had heard from Xiao Qingge in the hall of the clan leader's mansion five years ago, which must not be spread, the Great Elder felt a chill in his heart.

He had no doubt that if the three elders were slightly weaker and could find replacements in this family, Xiao Wuyun would kill them immediately.

But Xiao Wuyun didn't have to let them know about this. When Xiao Qingge wanted to meet with him, Xiao Wuyun took the initiative to call the three elders over.

In other words, it was Xiao Wuyun who intentionally let them know about that incident.

The reason, needless to say, is to let the three elders know that he, Xiao Wuyun, has the ability to seize the bloodline of the Dou Emperor.

If I follow his will, he will give me benefits. Even if I am not lucky enough to enjoy them, my descendants will benefit from them.

But if you go against him, only death awaits you.

Xiao Wuyun used that incident to tie the three elders together with him willingly. The power of the entire family was firmly grasped by Xiao Wuyun alone, and these elders were now nothing more than figureheads.

The most obvious one is the Xiao Clan’s Holy Guards. In the past, the three elders just couldn’t ask about the Xiao Clan’s Holy Guards’ affairs, but the Xiao Clan’s Holy Guards didn’t dare to go beyond the three elders’ authority.

And now, the Xiao clan's holy guards actually dared to search the elders' residence openly, not taking him, the chief elder, seriously at all!

"Hmph!" The great elder suddenly swung his sleeves and glanced at his precious granddaughter. "Ling'er, I'm going to go out for a while. Just stay at home. It looks like the Xiao clan's holy guards will be quiet for a while. Don't run around, or you'll get into trouble."

"Okay grandpa~ I promise not to go out~"

Xiao Ling responded to the Great Elder with a smile, but the Great Elder looked at her in confusion.

Why do I suddenly feel that Ling'er is in a much better mood?

However, the Great Elder did not think much about it. After all, the relationship between Xiao Ling and Xiao Ying was witnessed by the entire Xiao clan. Other things were not certain, but Xiao Ying's affairs could never be related to Xiao Ling.

Immediately, the Great Elder put his hands behind his back and strode out of the mansion, wanting to find the Second Elder to discuss the matter.

If they continue like this, these elders will become mere decorations.

Looking at the Great Elder leaving the mansion, Xiao Ling's mouth curled up slightly.

"Grandpa would never have thought that the person the Xiao clan's Holy Guards were looking for was right in his own home."

Xiao Ling glanced sideways at Xiao Qiu who was standing behind her.

In other words, Xiao Ying's appearance has completely changed.

It was quite a coincidence that Xiao Ying's body shape was not much different from Xiao Qiu's. Xiao Qiu usually followed Xiao Ling and there was no one else she was familiar with, so no one could notice the changes in Xiao Qiu.

As for strength, there are too many ways to suppress it, whether it's elixirs or seals, there are as many as you want.

"Haa~~~ I finally feel alive. The days before were meaningless." Xiao Ling stretched lazily, and then came to Xiao Ying, gently hooking her chin with her jade finger like teasing a pet, "Just tell me what you want, pills, skills, fighting skills, anything, as long as I can get it, I will give it to you. Except for the time you serve me, you can do whatever you want in the rest of the time."

"Don't let me down, Xiao Qiu~" Xiao Ling smiled and gave an order in a cheerful mood, "Go, get me some water and help me take a bath."

Hearing Xiao Ling's order, Xiao Ying took a step back and bowed slightly to Xiao Ling respectfully.

"As you command, miss."

Xiao Ying turned around and walked slowly towards the bathroom. At this time, Xiao Ling, who was dreaming about the future, did not see the cold yet extremely determined look in Xiao Ying's eyes.

She kept murmuring Xiao Qingge's final instructions to her.

"Go your own way, don't care about anyone, don't trust anyone."

"No matter what means you use, climb up, climb to the top of the world."

"Until no one dares to ignore me."

Autumn goes and winter comes, time passes.

Five years have passed since Xiao Ling brought Xiao Ying out of the underground prison.

Except for the month when Xiao Ying disappeared from the underground prison, the Xiao family was in turmoil, and Xiao Wuyun was determined to find Xiao Ying.

But in the end, there was not a single clue, and even if Xiao Wuyun was extremely furious it was of no avail.

They could only deal with the matter hastily, and the Xiao clan finally returned to normal.

During these five years, Xiao Ying had been playing the role of Xiao Qiu perfectly and serving Xiao Ling loyally. He even imitated Xiao Qiu's expressions and actions so well that Xiao Ling even thought more than once that Xiao Qiu was still alive.

During these five years, Xiao Ling did as she told Xiao Ying. No matter what Xiao Ying needed, she would get it for him as long as she could get it.

At first, Xiao Ying was confused and didn't understand why Xiao Ling would give him so many resources.

If Xiao Ling wanted to satisfy her inner pleasure and let me be her maid for life, there was no need for her to help me improve my strength.

However, Xiao Ying gradually realized that this problem was not important to him at all, not at all.

If she is willing to give, then I will take it. As for her purpose, I will know it sooner or later.

And today is the annual strength test conference.

"Xiao Ling, the peak of Dou Zun!!!"

The tester roared grandly, his face still flushed with excitement written all over his face.

At the age of 25, he was at the peak of Dou Zun! He was only one step away from Dou Sheng! He was definitely a genius that could be recorded in the history of the Xiao clan!!!

"Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling!"

The Xiao clan members below the stage spontaneously shouted Xiao Ling's name. Xiao Ling on the stage held her head high and proudly glanced at the Xiao clan members below, and finally fixed her gaze on Xiao Ying's face that did not belong to her.

Xiao Ying, did you see it?

The place where I am standing now was originally yours.

But no matter what others think, I will never consider this position to be mine until I actually beat you.

Only if I truly defeat you, will I truly accept this position!

Xiao Ling is such a self-centered person.

No matter what everyone else thinks, she only cares about her own opinion.

Even if the whole world thought she deserved it, she would never admit it. She always felt that she was just replacing Xiao Ying's position.

She would only be willing to abandon this idea if she truly defeated Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying looked up at Xiao Ling's fiery eyes on the stage. Although he still had no idea in his mind, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth without him even noticing it.

Five years have passed since she replaced Xiao Qiu's identity, and it was during these five years that Xiao Ying truly understood this rival who once hated her so much.

Proud and self-centered, she absolutely believes in herself and her goals. She is willing to give up everything to achieve her goals.

However, it is very contradictory that Xiao Ling is not really the kind of cold-blooded person who does not care about feelings. Xiao Ying has seen the guilt and tenderness in her eyes towards him more than once.

Although it was very shallow and hidden very deeply, Xiao Ying still saw it clearly.

Xiao Ying knew in his heart that that was not an expression shown to himself, but an expression shown to his own face, to the dead Xiao Qiu.

She really cared about Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu was the only person Xiao Ling valued to such an extent, even though she was just a maid.

Whenever someone was about to cause trouble for him, Xiao Ling would be the first to stand up to defend him, because he was bearing Xiao Qiu's face.

However, for Xiao Ling, feelings are feelings and goals are goals.

As long as it is to achieve her own goals, she will ruthlessly abandon any relationship, no matter how strong it is.

She will be sad and guilty about it.

But asking her to give up her goals for feelings?

Don't even think about it! ! !

It was also because of this that Xiao Ying clearly felt that Xiao Ling was really similar to himself.

To be more precise, it is very similar to my current self.

"Xiao Qiu~ Let's go back~"

Xiao Ling jumped off the test bench and slowly left under the attention of others. He tilted his head slightly with a joyful smile on his face.

"Thank you for always being with me~"

Xiao Ying didn't know whether Xiao Ling was talking to Xiao Ying or Xiao Qiu.

Just her words made Xiao Ying remember every detail of the five years of getting along with her, and a feeling she had never felt before came to Xiao Ying's heart.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before, even before she fell into poverty.

The feeling of being called a friend by others.

How warm, how intoxicating.

Xiao Qiu must have also enjoyed this warmth in the past.

However, in just a moment, the warmth in Xiao Ying's heart turned extremely cold, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling who was walking happily in front of him.

Deep in my heart, I murmured slightly.

Now I am the same kind of person as her.

This Xiao Lingchun is crazy, but not the kind of cold-blooded crazy, just one who values ​​his own goals more important than anything else.

Chapter 380 Rebellion

Late at night, in the Great Elder’s Mansion.

The great elder tapped lightly on the table, thinking about the situation in the family under the light of a lamp, his old eyes tightly furrowed.

Xiao Wuyun's operations in recent years have made the power of the elders less and less. Thinking about it, as an elder who was once second only to the emperor, the thing he manages most now is just the allocation of family resources.

Now the combined say of the three elders may not be as strong as Xiao Wuyun alone.

And ever since the incident with Xiao Qingge ten years ago, the Great Elder always felt that Xiao Wuyun was coveting their bloodline. Xiao Wuyun is now a nine-star Dou Sheng and is almost standing at the pinnacle of this world.

However, above this, there is the Dou Di.

Although there has not been a Dou Emperor on the continent for thousands of years, the Xiao clan had discussed this matter before. They speculated based on various ancient books and classics that it was because there was a lack of something in the world that made it impossible for this continent to give birth to a new Dou Emperor.

But many people always have a lucky mentality and think that it has nothing to do with this thing, but other factors.

Xiao Wuyun is obviously such a person.

According to the Great Elder's inference, Xiao Wuyun must be thinking now that the reason he cannot break through to the Dou Emperor level is because his Dou Emperor bloodline is not pure enough. In this case, he needs to seize more bloodline power. It is very likely that Xiao Wuyun took away Xiao Ying's Dou Emperor bloodline for this purpose.

And in the entire family, the only ones he cares about are the three elders, apart from Xiao Ling who has not yet grown up.

What Xiao Wuyun is doing now is to gradually make the three elders less important in the eyes of the Xiao clan. When everyone feels that it doesn't matter even if they lose the three elders, it is time for him to take action.

Now that he thought about it, Xiao Wuyun had let them know about Xiao Qingge's affairs just to paralyze them and make them feel that it would be beneficial to obey him.

However, by the time they reacted, the power they had held had almost been taken away from them.
