Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Heh~ Still unwilling to confess?" Xiao Yu chuckled and waved his hand casually, "Then let's leave it at that for now. When everything is over, I hope you can let the captain rest in peace. He's already dead, but you've still been using him until now. It's really pitiful."

As Xiao Yu left and the secret room slowly closed, Xiao Ying's face became solemn and his expression was a little distorted.

There was no doubt in his words just now that he had confirmed that he was not Xiao Shengyi at all.

When did he find out?

This doubt popped up in Xiao Ying's mind, but he immediately put it aside.

Never mind. Since he knew that I was a fake but didn't expose myself, it proved that he thought that the two of us were heading in the same direction and it was not a bad idea to use each other. There was no need to dwell on it.

Although it was just what he thought, it was enough for Xiao Ying.

Xiao Yu still believes that Xiao Ying is just like them and just hates Xiao Wuyun, nothing more.

In fact, Xiao Ying’s purpose was far more than that.

There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Ying's eyes.

Sooner or later Xiao Yu will understand that people who think they are smart can die more miserably than stupid people.

Chapter 390 Xiao Qingmo

Inside the clan leader's residence, Xiao Wuyun felt the power of his blood in his body, his brows furrowed tightly.

"My bloodline power is beginning to fade again."

Xiao Wuyun knew clearly that this was the result of his failure to obtain the complete technique. He was unable to absorb the power of his bloodline at all and could not truly refine it into his own bloodline.

Simply put, the Dou Di blood he absorbed was just borrowed.

Xiao Wuyun had no doubt that if he continued to delay like this, his bloodline would sooner or later degenerate to its original state. Although his strength would not weaken, he would inevitably be further away from the Dou Di that he longed for.

"Xiao Qingge"

Xiao Wuyun clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of hatred.

If that woman had given me the complete technique, why would I have ended up like this?

But now, Xiao Qingge is dead, and it is useless to say anything. There are only two paths before him.

Either absorb excellent blood to delay the decline of blood power, or find Xiao Ying as soon as possible to obtain the complete skills.

So far, the only person in the Xiao clan with excellent bloodline who can delay the decline of his own bloodline is Xiao Ling, who escaped and was previously sent by Xiao Lei to capture.

At this moment, Xiao Wuyun suddenly felt that someone had broken into the Xiao clan's space, and then felt the fighting spirit of the intruder, and his eyes suddenly shone with light.

It’s Xiao Lei!

In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Lei arrived at the clan leader's mansion. Having left the Xiao clan for a few years, his strength has now increased from a seven-star Dou Sheng to an eight-star Dou Sheng. He respectfully bowed to Xiao Wuyun.

"Chief, I'm back."

"Where's Xiao Ling?"

Xiao Wuyun's tone was slightly urgent, his eyes revealing undisguised desire, and Xiao Lei replied in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry. I have led people to suppress Xiao Ling several times over the years, but she managed to escape every time."

"Hmm? So you didn't catch him?" Xiao Wuyun's face turned cold instantly, his eyes glowing with anger. "Since you didn't catch Xiao Ling, why did you come back without permission?"

"Uh..." Xiao Lei was stunned and asked, "Chief, didn't you ask the Xiao Clan Saint Guards to call me back?"

"When will I"

Before Xiao Wuyun finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze, and then his face turned dark.

Seeing the confusion on Xiao Lei's face that didn't seem to be pretended at all, Xiao Wuyun immediately guessed a possibility in his mind.

Is it Xiao Ying?! She forged my order and called Xiao Lei back?

To prevent Xiao Ling from falling into my hands? Or some other reason?

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Xiao Wuyun's mind, but he couldn't suppress the urgency in his heart.

His bloodline has begun to fade and he can't wait any longer. Even if he sends Xiao Lei out again, it is not certain that he can capture Xiao Ling in a short time.

In this case, there is only one target left.

"Xiao Lei, from today on, start searching every household in the Xiao clan." Xiao Wuyun gave Xiao Lei an order with a cold expression, "The traitor Xiao Ying is hiding in the clan now, we must find her out."

If it were in the past, Xiao Wuyun would definitely try his best to avoid this method of incurring public anger. Even if the people who did it were the Xiao clan's Holy Guards, they were following his orders, and it was impossible for the Xiao clan members not to be dissatisfied with him.

He had done this before, during the two months after Xiao Ying disappeared in his dungeon. He stopped because it aroused public anger. Moreover, the first and second elders were still there at the time, and he had not yet completely grasped the power of the Xiao clan. If he continued, he would only continue to lose his reputation, which would not be worth the loss.

But now, Xiao Wuyun can't care so much.

Even if all the members of the Xiao clan betrayed him, he must arrest Xiao Ying.

"Xiao Ying?" Xiao Lei was stunned when he heard the name. "Chief, if I remember correctly, Xiao Ying has disappeared for ten years. I haven't heard of any news of her sighting in these years. She may no longer be in the Xiao clan."

"Just do as I say, and don't ask any more questions."

Xiao Wuyun interrupted Xiao Lei coldly. Xiao Lei was silent for a while and then bowed his head in greeting.

"As ordered."

Xiao Lei immediately turned around and left. After he left, Xiao Wuyun also stood up, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

When doing anything, one must be prepared for both scenarios. Not only must the Xiao clan's Holy Guards take action, but one must also find someone who knows the situation to inquire about Xiao Ying's whereabouts.

As for this insider, Xiao Wuyun already has a candidate in mind.

Xiao Wuyun disappeared in the clan leader's mansion in a flash. When he appeared again, he had already arrived at a slightly luxurious villa in the Xiao clan.

In the villa, the third elder stood with his back to him. Sensing the movement behind him, he turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Wuyun, whose face was cold.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Xiao Wuyun, are you finally unable to wait?"

Ever since he rescued Xiao Ying that day, he had anticipated such a day. Although he had hidden his figure at the time, Xiao Wuyun was not a fool and could guess who it was with a little thought.

"I didn't expect that you could hide your strength for so long."

Xiao Wuyun smiled coldly, and the third elder said softly.

"If you knew my true strength before, you would have attacked me a long time ago."

The reason why Xiao Wuyun did not attack the third elder when he killed the first elder and the second elder was, first, the third elder had no intention of rebelling against him, second, the third elder had cooperated with him in the power change from beginning to end, and third, the third elder's strength was just that of a seven-star fighting saint, which posed no threat to Xiao Wuyun at all, so there was really no need for Xiao Wuyun to attack him.

However, ever since he revealed his true strength and rescued Xiao Ying in front of him, he has been on Xiao Wuyun's kill list.

"Where is Xiao Ying?"

Xiao Wuyun's face was grim, and he asked his purpose in a serious voice. The Third Elder slowly turned around and faced him with a very calm expression.

"I thought you could keep your composure." The Third Elder looked at Xiao Wuyun with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Let me guess, has your bloodline power begun to fade?"

The Third Elder's words seemed to have angered Xiao Wuyun, causing him to instantly burst out with fighting spirit, and he roared at the Third Elder with words full of murderous intent.

"Xiao Qingmo! Have you really had enough of living?!"

Faced with Xiao Wuyun's murderous intent, the third elder Xiao Qingmo's expression did not show the slightest bit of emotion. His eyes were filled with compassion and hidden anger as he looked at Xiao Wuyun.

"Xiao Wuyun, you've gone too far. Master Qingge gave you that technique because he believes you can lead the Xiao clan to rise."

"But look at what you have done all these years?"

"You have been persecuting the Xiao clan members for your own selfish desires and murdering your own daughter. You have even forced the first and second elders to rebel. How can you face Lord Qingge?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If she really believed in me, she should have given me the complete technique! Instead of just giving me an incomplete one!"

There were bloodshot in Xiao Wuyun's eyes. Xiao Qingmo was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice.

"That's because Lord Qingge noticed that you have evil intentions." Xiao Qingmo looked at Xiao Wuyun's eyes that didn't think he had done anything wrong, and shook his head slightly, "But you may never understand."

"My intentions are not right? How come my intentions are not right?!"

"Isn't this how the world is?! As long as you are strong enough, everything can be abandoned!"

"I followed her wishes and used my own methods to help the Xiao clan rise up!"

"As long as I become the Dou Emperor, how can the other seven clans be my enemy?! By then, the Xiao clan will truly stand at the top of this world!!!"

Xiao Wuyun argued with reason and said these words with confidence, and Xiao Qingmo asked back in a serious tone.

"Just for this purpose, can you even sacrifice your own daughter?"

"That's what she should do! Since she has become my daughter and a member of the Xiao clan, she has the obligation to sacrifice herself for me to become the strongest! This is her fate!!!"

Hearing Xiao Wuyun's roar, Xiao Qingmo's indifferent face gradually became cold, and the steady and powerful fighting spirit slowly emerged from his body.

"Xiao Wuyun, you are completely crazy and hopeless."

"The thing that Master Qingge regrets most in his life is probably handing the future of the Xiao clan into your hands."

"You have become a slave to power. Even if you become a Doudi, the Xiao clan may not rise."

Xiao Qingmo could conclude that if Xiao Wuyun really became the Dou Emperor, no matter what harm it would bring to the world, even if it was the Xiao clan, as long as they slightly displeased him, he would destroy the Xiao clan in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Wuyun has lost his humanity and doesn't even care about his own daughter. How could he care about the entire Xiao family?

"There is no point in talking any more. If you want my life, then come on."

Xiao Qingmo looked at Xiao Wuyun coldly, his tone very decisive, and the earth-shattering aura of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint surged out.

"As for where Xiao Ying is now, you will never know!"

After leaving the clan leader's residence, Xiao Lei rushed back to the Xiao clan's Holy Guard office as soon as possible.

When he entered the office, he saw Xiao Yu inside and raised his hand to greet her.

"Xiao Yu, long time no see."

"Oh, you're back." Xiao Yu raised her head and answered, looking behind Xiao Lei, frowning slightly, "Didn't Xiao Ling come back with you?"

"No, if I let her come back with me, she will definitely be detained by Xiao Wuyun."

Xiao Lei shrugged lightly. It was obvious that what he said to Xiao Wuyun was just to confuse him. Anyway, no one could prove that he was lying.

"I've made an agreement with her. She should go back to the Xiao Clan after I notify her. During this time, she should arrange everything as soon as possible." Xiao Lei said, and a black token appeared in his hand, showing it in front of Xiao Yu. "It contains the souls that Xiao Ling and I have collected so far. There are about 30 million souls. Go and give it to the captain now."

Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Xiao Lei, the captain."

"It's fake, I know." Xiao Yu was interrupted by Xiao Lei before he finished speaking, "Impersonation is fine for fooling unfamiliar people, but we two have been following the captain all the time, how could he fool us?"

"But whether he is real or fake is not important. What is important is that we are now on the same line, which is enough. We really can't fight against Xiao Wuyun by ourselves."

As he said this, Xiao Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Knowing that the other party was impersonating Xiao Shengyi, he pretended not to know in order to fight against Xiao Wuyun. He felt really sorry for Xiao Shengyi.

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, then spoke softly.

"Then what do you think her true identity is?"

"I have considered many possibilities over the years. If she is not from another tribe, then she is most likely the tribe leader's biological daughter, Xiao Ying. So far, she is the only person in the Xiao tribe who is missing and has a grudge against Xiao Wuyun."

Xiao Lei threw the token in his hand and said this, making Xiao Yu suddenly shocked and immediately lowered his head and frowned.

"I see. If she is Xiao Ying, many things can be explained." Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Lei abruptly, "Could she be the murderer who secretly hunted down the Xiao clan's holy guards?"

"It's most likely her. If you think about it carefully, since Xiao Wuyun officially took control of all the power in the clan, all the things that happened were to make Xiao Wuyun uncomfortable. Both the Xiao clan's holy guards and the Xiao clan members were caught in the middle and were just tools used by the father and daughter in turn."

"In that case, do we still need to join forces with her to deal with Xiao Wuyun?"

Xiao Yu's face looked a little ugly. If all the things that happened in the Xiao clan before were done by Xiao Ying, then the number of Xiao clan members killed by Xiao Ying would be no less than that of Xiao Wuyun. How could such a person be trusted?

Xiao Lei didn't care about this.

"It doesn't matter. She played so many tricks before, which proves that she can't confront Xiao Wuyun head-on. She can only rely on our help. We also need her help now. There is no need to tear our relationship with her for the time being." Xiao Lei's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "After Xiao Wuyun is completely dealt with, we will slowly settle the score with her."

hum! ! !

Suddenly, two powerful fighting spirits exploded within the Xiao clan, causing Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu's faces to freeze. They suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the fighting spirit explosion.

One of the Dou Qis was very familiar to them, it was Xiao Wuyun, and the other one was the third elder Xiao Qingmo? ! !

Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu were stunned. Wasn't Xiao Qingmo a seven-star Dou Sheng? How could he be a nine-star Dou Sheng by looking at his aura?

Why did the two of them suddenly start fighting?!

Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and then rushed towards the secret room tacitly.
