Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

And it seems that he is here to help Xiao Ying.

At this time, Xiao Wuyun had the same doubt as Xiao Ying. Who in the entire Xiao clan would stand up to help Xiao Ying?

"Who are you?"

Xiao Wuyun asked coldly, but the black shadow obviously had no intention of answering, nor did he have the idea of ​​confronting Xiao Wuyun head-on. The black shadow covering his body suddenly spread, blocking Xiao Wuyun's sight.

Xiao Wuyun snorted coldly and waved his hand to disperse the black shadow in front of him. However, when his vision became clear again, the person wrapped in the black shadow had disappeared, and Xiao Ying behind him also disappeared.

"Humph!"

Xiao Wuyun suddenly waved his sleeves, anger rising in his heart.

Although the man was wrapped in shadows from beginning to end, Xiao Wuyun already had a guess about his true identity, and he was fully capable of running to get him back.

But now, it's not possible. He has no evidence, not to mention that the man is also a nine-star Dou Sheng like himself. Although it's only in the early stage, if he is really determined to fight with him, he will encounter a lot of trouble. At worst, with his delay, Xiao Ying has enough time to completely destroy the martial arts in his brain through self-destruction.

Xiao Wuyun had been thinking about that technique for his entire life, and unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to give up.

The most important thing is that it is not acceptable. He had worked so hard to restore the Xiao people's opinion of him. If he rashly did anything to that person again, Xiao Shengyi's sacrifice would be completely wasted.

"Haha. Nine-star Fighting Saint, you're hiding really well."

Xiao Wuyun murmured, his eyes fierce, and slowly left here.

You are indeed a smart person, but not smart enough.

When I acquire the complete technique, you will be the first person to become my nourishment!

In the dark room, a dark shadow brought Xiao Ying here and gently placed her on the chair.

Xiao Ying stared closely at the man in front of him who was shrouded in darkness. His vigilance did not diminish in the slightest even though the man in front of him saved him.

"who are you?"

Xiao Ying asked in a deep voice. The shadowy figure took two steps back and stared at Xiao Ying closely. After a long moment, he spoke slowly.

"You have really grown up, Xiao Ying. If Lady Qingge saw this, she would definitely be very pleased."

He knew the mother?!

Xiao Ying's expression suddenly froze, and then the black shadow on the black shadow man gradually dissipated, exposing his original appearance to Xiao Ying's sight.

When Xiao Ying saw this person for the first time, he felt confused at first, and then he searched for this person's identity in his mind, with a look of extreme shock.

The third elder? ! !

Well, I overestimated myself. It seems that it will take me two more days to finish writing.

Chapter 389 Wind Comment

Looking at the third elder in front of him, Xiao Ying's expression was uncertain, and his mind was filled with question marks, running rapidly.

Why would he help me? What is his purpose in helping me? Isn't he a seven-star Dou Sheng? How did he suddenly become a nine-star Dou Sheng?

Seeing the obvious vigilance in Xiao Ying's eyes, the Third Elder did not speak first, but reached out and handed Xiao Ying a pill.

"Eat it, or you'll die."

Xiao Ying was slightly stunned, and looked down at his body which had lost half of its body. Then he looked at the pill in the third elder's hand, and Xiao Ying also recognized this pill.

An eighth-grade elixir, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and is said to be able to save a person's life as long as there is a breath left.

After hesitating for a while, he took the pill and put it into his mouth in one gulp.

To be honest, she didn't trust the person in front of her, but the current situation forced her to believe him.

Although the Third Elder was not as strong as Xiao Wuyun, he was not someone he could contend with. If he really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need any elixirs at all.

After taking the pill, Xiao Ying felt a warm current flowing through his body, and then his broken body began to recover visibly.

Feeling the breath in his body gradually recovering, Xiao Ying took out a cloak and put it on, then slowly stood up and stared at the third elder in front of him.

"Why did you save me? I don't remember any connection between you and me." Xiao Ying paused, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "And the Lady Qingge you just mentioned, should be my mother, right? What is the relationship between you two?"

A series of questions popped out of Xiao Ying's mouth. The third elder was silent for a while, but did not answer, and said softly.

"Don't you have things to do?" The Third Elder turned around slowly, his back to Xiao Ying and said in a deep voice: "Some things are useless to tell you now, anyway, they are not important to you."

"If Lady Qingge were still alive, she probably wouldn't want you to know."

Hearing the Third Elder mention Xiao Qingge again, Xiao Ying's face changed, his expression was slightly moved, and he stretched out his hand towards him.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Before he finished speaking, the figure of the Third Elder had disappeared from here, which made Xiao Ying grit his teeth in anger. He shook his cloak, and disappeared from here in a flash, flying quickly towards the direction of the secret room.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between the Third Elder and his mother was, nor did he know why he saved him, Xiao Ying had to admit that he was right. He had more important things to do now, which was to never let Xiao Yu suspect Xiao Shengyi of what happened today, otherwise his life-risking behavior today would be in vain.

As for his affairs, we will talk about them later.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yu arranged for the Xiao clan's holy guards to deal with the crime scene. He counted the injuries of the Xiao clan's holy guards and frowned.

He never expected that the murderer who slaughtered these Xiao people in the past few days was actually a five-star Douluo who was only one star lower than himself.

Who is that person? Is he a member of the Xiao clan? Or an outsider who sneaked in?

And Xiao Wuyun, whom he met at the end of the chase, actually went out in person for the murderer. Did he know the murderer? Was Xiao Wuyun in cahoots with the murderer? Was he the one who ordered the cases these days?

Questions kept circling in Xiao Yu's mind, but he couldn't get any answers.

Xiao Yu returned to the office of the Xiao Clan's Holy Guard with a worried look on his face. Just as he was about to enter, his eyebrows suddenly raised and a thought flashed through his mind.

Could this matter be related to Captain Xiao Shengyi?

Whether it was the disappearance of the Xiao clan’s holy guards or the brutal murders of the Xiao clan members in the past few days, they all happened after the resurrected Xiao Shengyi appeared.

Xiao Yu looked solemn as he turned and headed for the secret room in the nearby yard. After entering the secret room, he saw Xiao Ying, who was pretending to be Xiao Shengyi, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. This dispelled some of Xiao Yu's suspicions.

After hearing the door open, Xiao Ying slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yu and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yu, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"

"Captain, members of the Xiao clan have been brutally murdered over the past two days. We almost caught the murderer tonight, but were stopped by Xiao Wuyun."

"Oh? Stopped him?" Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a pretentious manner, "Didn't he hand over the murderer to you?"

"Yes, and from what I saw, Xiao Wuyun seemed to have come here specifically for the murderer. He even used his aura to threaten me not to ask any more questions."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a while, but still told the truth about the situation. Xiao Ying snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

"Humph, is there any need to think about this? It must be Xiao Wuyun who secretly sent people to murder those Xiao clan members."

"But what good will it do him if these people secretly kill the Xiao people?"

Xiao Yu's expression was very conflicted. You said that there was nothing wrong with the missing Xiao clan saints being in Xiao Wuyun's body, and that it could be explained by him wanting to absorb their blood. But the bodies of these murdered Xiao clan members were normal, and nothing was missing. For what purpose could Xiao Shengyi do this?

In response, Xiao Ying's answer was blunt.

"That man is ruthless and capricious. Although I don't know why he did this, it must be for his own dirty purpose." After saying this, Xiao Ying closed his eyes again, "Tell the Xiao clan's holy guards not to have any more misunderstandings and conflicts with the Xiao clan members over this matter. This is a good opportunity to ease the relationship between the Xiao clan members and the Xiao clan's holy guards, and it must not be wasted."

“As long as the relationship between the Xiao clan members and the Xiao clan’s Holy Guards is good, even if the Xiao clan’s Holy Guards become so resentful that Xiao Wuyun wants to kill them, he will still think twice because of the Xiao clan members. He will at least find a reasonable reason. Otherwise, if he attacks the Xiao clan’s Holy Guards directly, he will definitely be the one who suffers.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and responded.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Yu immediately turned around and left the secret room. After Xiao Yu left for a while, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily I made it back."

Now she cannot lose Xiao Yu's trust. Once Xiao Yu knows that Xiao Shengyi is a fake, he will not be able to secretly command the Xiao clan's holy guards as he does now.

Outside the secret room, Xiao Yu glanced at the secret room with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Although he could not find any evidence, Xiao Yu's instinct told him that the person inside was not Xiao Shengyi at all.

When they first met, he and Xiao Lei both thought that there was no benefit in pretending to be the dead Xiao Shengyi. Plus, Xiao Shengyi's eyes showed undisguised hatred for Xiao Wuyun, so they believed it.

But afterwards, the more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Simply put, we think too much and forget the most basic logical issues.

If only the body was destroyed, it would be fine. But when a person's soul was completely destroyed in public, is it really possible for him to be resurrected? No matter how you explain it, it's too far-fetched.

Even if he was resurrected, the soul inside him would definitely not be the original Xiao Shengyi.

But even though Xiao Yu was so clear-headed, he still did not ask him directly or expose him in the past year or so, but strictly carried out his orders.

Because for now, every word Xiao Shengyi said was in line with the interests of him and the Xiao Clan's Holy Guards, so it was not a bad idea to obey his orders.

The fake Xiao Shengyi inside might know Xiao Wuyun better than himself, and understand how to deal with Xiao Wuyun better, and even hate Xiao Wuyun more than himself.

In other words, the interests are consistent, at least for now.

For now, let’s just use each other.

Time flies. Half a year has passed since the night when the Xiao clan's holy guards surrounded and wiped out the murderers who massacred the Xiao clan members.

And during the past six months, just as Xiao Ying had expected, the gap between the Xiao clan's Holy Guards and the Xiao clan members was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hostility between the two sides was gradually decreasing.

On the contrary, the resentment of the Xiao clan's Holy Guards towards Xiao Wuyun has not diminished in the slightest, and rumors that are heavily unfavorable to Xiao Wuyun are still spreading among the Xiao clan's Holy Guards. During the period when the Xiao clan's Holy Guards have been in contact with the Xiao clan members, they have gradually heard the rumors that were previously circulated among the Xiao clan members, which completely portrayed Xiao Wuyun as a victim.

As a result, the Xiao clan's Holy Guards became even more dissatisfied with Xiao Wuyun, and many Xiao clan members heard from the Xiao clan's Holy Guards what was completely contrary to the rumors, and they did not trust Xiao Wuyun as much as before.

In addition to these, another matter between the Xiao clan’s Holy Guards and the Xiao clan members was brought to light, and that was the death of Xiao Shengyi.

According to many people in the Xiao clan's Holy Guard, Xiao Shengyi is a loyal captain who never oversteps his bounds and always strictly abides by his duties. It is hard to imagine that such a person would arbitrarily use the clan's resources for his own selfish desires.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the Xiao clan members still imagined the truth of the incident based on their evaluation of Xiao Shengyi, and almost everyone thought the same thing.

That was because the clan leader Xiao Wuyun, in order to quell public anger, pushed all the blame onto Xiao Shengyi and beheaded him in public to vent his resentment.

As soon as this speculation came out, it spread like waves within the Xiao clan. Almost everyone in the Xiao clan knew about it, except for one person.

That is, Xiao Wuyun.

The Xiao Clan Holy Guards he founded were alienated from him, and the Xiao Clan members now did not trust him as the patriarch. Xiao Wuyun, who had no channels to obtain information, naturally had no way of knowing.

He never expected that his reputation within the clan would plummet rapidly, like a dam breaking.

Inside the secret room, Xiao Yu reported to Xiao Ying, who was pretending to be Xiao Shengyi, about the current reputation of Xiao Wuyun in the clan, with an unconcealable joy in his eyes.

These rumors that were unfavorable to Xiao Wuyun certainly did not appear out of thin air. Rather, he was following Xiao Shengyi's instructions and seemingly unintentionally described Xiao Shengyi's personality and work style. There was no need for deliberate arrangement. He only needed to tell the truth and the Xiao people would be able to figure out the truth in their own minds.

Now everyone's impression of Xiao Wuyun is that he is a deceitful and deceitful person, a scum who harms his own people and subordinates for the sake of his own status and power.

Although the Xiao people knew that this was just speculation, it was enough to change their attitude towards Xiao Wuyun.

Rumors are the easiest to confuse people, and it is common for people to believe everything they hear.

What's more, Xiao Yu knew very well in his heart that this was not an injustice to Xiao Wuyun, but it was something that Xiao Wuyun had done exactly. Even if Xiao Wuyun stood up to deny it, he would not have the confidence to do so.

Facts always speak louder than words.

First it was the first elder and the second elder, then the Xiao clan members, and then Xiao Shengyi and the Xiao clan's holy guards. Xiao Wuyun's actions so far have offended almost everyone in the Xiao clan from bottom to top.

No matter how strong this kind of person is, how can others respect you in their hearts even if they don't say anything?

It would be fine if Xiao Wuyun really didn't care what the people below thought of him. But he was a nine-star Douluo at the peak of the late stage and one of the few people standing at the top of this world. Why should he care about the opinions of the weak?

The premise is that he really doesn't care.

But unfortunately, Xiao Wuyun still had greed in his heart. He wanted to go one step further. He was not willing to be just one of the few people at the top of the world, but wanted to be the only one standing at the top of the world.

To do this, he must maintain a good image among the Xiao clan. He needs these Xiao clan members to provide him with a steady supply of blood to help him realize his ambition of becoming the Dou Emperor.

However, it now seems that Xiao Wuyun has completely failed on this path.

"Xiao Wuyun is still kept in the dark. By the time he finds out, it will be too late."

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and laughed, while Xiao Ying spoke softly.

"Notify Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling and ask them to come back." Xiao Ying frowned slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Everything should be over soon."

"Well, I'll go inform them right away."

Xiao Yu nodded, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped and glanced over at Xiao Ying's puzzled eyes.

"By the way, if possible, don't give orders as the captain in the future."

？ ！！

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Ying's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he asked back with an indifferent expression.

"What do you mean?"
