Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Puff!

The two hands pierced through the chests of the two men from behind, and they turned into mummies before they could even utter a scream.

Xiao Ming, who was standing behind them, had a cold expression on his face. He stood still and pulled his hands out of the two men's bodies, letting them fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ming's face and figure began to change gradually, and finally turned into a woman.

Xiao Ying!

Xiao Ying raised his hand and clenched it lightly, with a hint of displeasure flashing across his brows.

After absorbing two Dou Zun peaks in their prime, is his level still stuck at three-star Dou Sheng?

Xiao Ying murmured in his heart, it seems that continuing to absorb Dou Zun will not improve his strength much.

The goal is to continue moving forward.

However, the Fighting Saint and the Fighting Lord are different. Even if they attack from behind, Xiao Ying does not think he has the strength to kill with one blow. Once he is entangled and attracts other Xiao clan holy guards, it will be troublesome.

First, take a break for a while.

Xiao Ying's expression was stern. Unlike her previous laissez-faire attitude, this time she collected the bodies of the two Xiao clan holy guards and slowly disappeared into the night.

When Xiao Ying appeared again, he had arrived in a small courtyard, and his body had changed into that of a middle-aged man with a solemn face.

Xiao Wenyuan was the first person to secretly organize the Xiao people to form a force to resist Xiao Wuyun after Xiao Ying spread fighting skills and other things among the Xiao people. He was a man with great prestige among the Xiao people.

Unfortunately, after he had gathered many members of the Xiao clan and carefully planned his future and was ready to make great achievements, he was killed by Xiao Ying, who took over his identity. This man usually lived a reclusive life and rarely communicated with others except for a few times. He was simply the perfect candidate for Xiao Ying to replace his identity.

Xiao Ying stepped into the dim hall. Several members of the Xiao clan gathered here. When they saw Xiao Ying coming in, they all stood up respectfully.

"Brother Wenyuan."

Xiao Ying imitated Xiao Wenyuan's posture, raised his heavy palm and pressed lightly, then walked to the reserved main seat and slowly sat down, glancing lightly at the people in the hall.

However, then, Xiao Ying's eyes revealed deep disappointment.

He is too weak, not even a Dou Zong. With this kind of strength, he can't even fight against Xiao Wuyun, let alone the most useless Xiao clan Holy Guards.

Although Xiao Ying thought so in his heart, he really couldn't blame these people for being useless. Their bloodline power was not top-notch, and most of the cultivation resources that should have been provided by the family had been cut. Even if Xiao Ying provided them secretly, he could not make up for the shortfall.

And because he had stolen fighting skills and elixirs many times, the places where the family resources were stored had become more and more strictly guarded. Now the original low-level Dou Zuns have been replaced by the current four Dou Shengs who take turns guarding day and night. It is not so easy for Xiao Ying to obtain resources from them anymore.

In other words, this small force that was built with great difficulty has almost no possibility of further improvement.

Xiao Ying's fingers kept tapping on the armrest of the chair, and a member of the Xiao clan beside him asked.

"Brother Wenyuan, what should we do next? The resources given by the mysterious man have been almost used up."

"."

After hearing the question, Xiao Ying did not answer immediately. After a long time, he looked at the people of the Xiao clan in the hall again and asked in a deep voice.

"Are you really prepared to die?"

After these words were spoken, all the Xiao clan members in the hall were excited.

"Brother Wenyuan! What did you say?"

"We have been oppressed by Xiao Wuyun for long enough. Living in this muddleheaded way is worse than death!"

"For our future, it's worth it even if it costs our lives!"

Hearing the rising and falling excitement in the hall, Xiao Ying nodded in understanding.

"Since you are all aware, then there will be no problem."

Xiao Ying said lightly. Everyone stared at her closely. When they thought that Xiao Ying was about to reveal some earth-shattering plan, Xiao Ying's cold voice slowly echoed in the hall.

"You all can go die."

The next day, the Xiao clan's holy guards gathered in the small courtyard with solemn eyes, looking at the many tragic corpses in the hall. Among them was Xiao Wenyuan, who they had listed as a highly suspected person who might rebel just a few days ago.

In addition to them, there were two mummies wearing the uniforms of the Xiao Clan Holy Guards. After identification, it was found that these two were indeed the Xiao Clan Holy Guards patrolling this area.

In this way, the Xiao clan's holy guards present restored the truth.

While on patrol, the two Xiao clan holy guards discovered these rebels who had gathered together to rebel, and they killed them all, but were soon killed by the murderer who had been hunting the Xiao clan holy guards.

If it were just that, it would be fine. Just kill them all, a bunch of rebels. Even if the other Xiao people knew about it, they would have nothing to say.

They have all rebelled, why not kill them?

However, it would be nice if things were that simple.

The Xiao clan holy guard standing in the courtyard turned his head with a serious expression and looked outside the courtyard, and saw another Xiao clan holy guard rushing in and reporting loudly.

"Many members of the Xiao clan living nearby were found dead in their homes! No one was spared, young or old, male or female!"

After hearing the report, the expressions of the Xiao clan's holy guards standing in the courtyard suddenly turned cold.

Trouble, big one.

Soon, this truth was spread by word of mouth among the Xiao clan members. Both ordinary Xiao clan members and other forces that secretly gathered to oppose Xiao Wuyun were stunned, and then revealed their extreme resentment towards the Xiao clan's Holy Guards.

No matter how arrogant the Xiao clan's Holy Guards were in the past, at least they were dedicated to their duties. Apart from the imbalance in resources that was obvious to everyone, they had never done anything unreasonable. Even if they really wanted to do something, they would find a legitimate reason.

However, the situation this time is different.

The people in that courtyard were rebels and they deserved to be killed.

But what about the people around? What did they do wrong? Why did you kill them? Could it be that all the Xiao people around were rebels? The youngest of the people killed was only a three-year-old child. What did you let him rebel with?

As soon as this news came out, all the Xiao people were completely furious. Even those who had no intention of rebelling felt resentful in their hearts.

The Xiao clan's holy guards naturally understood this.

It doesn't matter whether the rebels in that courtyard or those surrounding rebels were killed by the two mummified Xiao clan holy guards or not. What matters is that all the people in the Xiao clan now believe that it was done by their own Xiao clan holy guards.

Even if you put the blame on the murderer, no one would buy it. Everyone knows that the murderer always leaves mummies behind every time he kills someone. And except for the two Xiao clan holy guards who were mummies, the others were all normal corpses. Who are you trying to fool?

The Xiao clan's Holy Guards, who were already unpopular for wantonly breaking the law and doing whatever they wanted, have now been pushed to the forefront. In the past, everyone avoided them when they walked on the street, but now, people from the Xiao clan will spit on their faces when they walk on the street. They are not afraid of death at all.

Anyway, you have already openly bent the law for personal gain. You can kill me if you want. Why should we be so afraid of you? No matter how afraid or respectful I am to you, I will still die if you accuse me of any crime. Since the result is the same, why should I be humble to you?

Originally, facing the Xiao people's undisguised contempt, many of the Xiao clan's holy guards, who were used to being high and mighty, wanted to take action on the spot. If not to kill them, at least they would teach the other party a lesson.

However, they all endured it.

The reason is simple. As early as the morning when the news spread uncontrollably, the captain of the Xiao clan's holy guard issued a death order. From today on, unless their lives are in danger, no action should be taken against the Xiao clan members, not even a finger should be lifted.

Now that their credibility has almost collapsed, if they dare to take action again, they will really have no explanation.

Xiao Ying, who was hiding in the crowd, watched quietly as the Xiao clan's holy guards were despised by everyone on the street but unable to fight back, and murmured in his heart.

This is the bitter fruit that you created with your own hands.

Just bear with it, Xiao Wuyun.

This is just the beginning.

It was obvious that at this time, she had already shown signs of disregarding life. She would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and even spared no innocent children of her own race. As mentioned before, she and the crazy Xiao Ling were the same type of people.

Chapter 383 I Will Support Your Wife

Outside the clan leader's mansion, dozens of Xiao clan holy guards were gathered here. However, even though there were so many people here, it was so quiet, without any sound at all.

At this time, a holy guard of the Xiao clan came hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.

"News. Eh?"

Seeing this, the expression of the Xiao clan's Holy Guard froze slightly. Xiao Shengyi, the captain of the Xiao clan's Holy Guard, raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

"What happened?"

"We have just received intelligence from an unknown source, which lists the current rebellious forces within the Xiao clan."

Seeing the list handed over by the Xiao clan's holy guard, Xiao Shengyi took it and took a look at it. Then, fighting spirit appeared in his palm and he crushed the list to pieces, causing the expression of the Xiao clan's holy guard who delivered the list to change suddenly.

"Captain! This?!"

“This thing is no longer useful.”

Xiao Shengyi said coldly that now the credibility of the Xiao clan's Holy Guards within the Xiao clan has completely collapsed. Even if the Xiao clan members on the list are really rebels, they cannot take action because no one will believe their words.

What's more, the source of this list is unknown. It is very likely provided by the murderer who hunted down the Xiao clan's holy guards. Who can be sure that the rebels on the list are 100% accurate?

In the past, perhaps they would really be able to do something like killing a hundred people without letting any one go, because they have the power to do so.

But it’s no longer possible now. If one of the people killed is truly innocent, the situation will undoubtedly be worse.

The Xiao clan holy guard was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Shengyi then asked in a serious voice.

"Anything else?"

“Yes!” The Xiao clan holy guard came back to his senses and nodded quickly. “Now the members of the Xiao clan are becoming more and more resentful. They are no longer just targeting the Xiao clan holy guards. They even openly express their dissatisfaction with the clan leader on the street and judge him with extremely bad words.”

After saying this, the Xiao clan holy guard paused and asked weakly.

"Captain, what should we do? Arrest them all?"

".Tell them to pretend they didn't hear anything and no one should do anything."

As Xiao Shengyi spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Arrest? Who do you want to arrest? What's the reason?

Given the current situation, if you really arrest people for insulting the clan leader, I'm afraid at least half of the Xiao clan members will be thrown into jail. If this really happens, the Xiao clan will completely collapse. If half of the clan members are thrown into jail, can the Xiao clan still survive?

"Okay, let's go down."

Xiao Shengyi waved his hand lightly and walked towards the hall of the clan leader's mansion. When he reached the door, he paused and asked the Xiao clan's holy guard beside him.

"What's going on inside?"

"After listening to the report, the clan leader remained silent and said nothing."

"."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Shengyi felt terribly disappointed.

It would be better if the patriarch got furious and scolded loudly after hearing it. It was more terrifying if he remained silent after hearing it.

Now, he really doesn't want to go in, or he doesn't dare to go in.

But, there is no way, who makes him be in this position?

Xiao Shengyi made up his mind and stepped into the hall.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was eerily quiet. The oppressive atmosphere made Xiao Shengyi's heart tremble again. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked firmly in front of Xiao Wuyun, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

"Chief, I just received news from my subordinates that there is too much resentment in the tribe now. Many Xiao people no longer care about the deterrence of the Xiao Holy Guards. Walking on the street is a statement that undermines your dignity."

Xiao Shengyi's words were really very tactful.

Remarks that undermine the dignity? Even if Xiao Shengyi hadn't heard it with his own ears, he could guess that what the Xiao clan members said now was definitely far more than that. Maybe they even cursed Xiao Wuyun's ancestors for eighteen generations.

After hearing Xiao Shengyi's report, the Xiao clan's holy guards surrounding the hall all trembled their shoulders, carefully raised their lowered heads, and glanced at Xiao Wuyun who was sitting on the main seat with fear.

Xiao Wuyun's face was grim, his cheeks twitching constantly due to extreme anger, his fingers trembling slightly, and he knocked on the table pretending to be calm.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Ordinary members of the Xiao clan's Holy Guard, managers with less than 100 people, and those who have important matters to attend to, should leave first and arrange their affairs as usual. At the same time, order that no one is allowed to attack the Xiao clan members. Anyone who dares to do so will be executed on the spot."

"Yes!"

Hearing Xiao Wuyun's words, many of the Xiao clan's holy guards breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. The bustling figures left the hall quietly one after another. After a while, only Xiao Shengyi and the remaining two captains remained in the hall.

These three are basically the three most powerful people in the Xiao clan’s Holy Guard.

Bang! ! !

After the others left, Xiao Wuyun suddenly jumped up, slapped the stone table next to him and smashed it, which even a Dou Zun could not destroy. He glared at the three people in front of him and yelled.

"Waste! You are all a bunch of waste!!! I have violated the interests of all Xiao clan members in the past few years and concentrated all resources on you. You can't even handle such a small matter?! And that murderer! It has only been a month since she appeared, and she has turned the entire Xiao clan upside down. Now you tell me that you haven't even seen her?! What's the point of me raising you?!!"

"Chief, the murderer is too cunning. Everything he did was beyond our expectations. We have been trying our best to deal with him."

"Deal with it! Deal with it! Deal with it!!! Is that the only thing you can say every time?! It was beyond your expectations?! One person fooled the Xiao clan's Holy Guards, who made up a quarter of the Xiao clan, around! How dare you come and make excuses with me?!!"

Xiao Wuyun was really furious now! He had only established the Xiao Clan Holy Guard for three years, and finally concentrated all the power in his hands, but in just one month, it was destroyed by Xiao Ying alone!

What made him even more angry was that he, a nine-star Douluo at the peak of the late stage, the pinnacle of the continent, was completely useless in such a matter!

Looking at the furious Xiao Wuyun, Xiao Shengyi and the other two captains lowered their heads, not daring to say another word, and silently listened to Xiao Wuyun venting his anger.
