Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Maybe, maybe not." Xiao Yan said, and a purple-blue flame ignited in his hand, burning the letter and the envelope completely. He then said, "At least so far, she has no reason to reject us."

"She gave this reply. Even if she doesn't need to do anything for us, just watching from the sidelines is enough for us."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Hong Shuang spoke.

"Please rest assured. That lady specifically asked me to explain to you that she will not stand idly by this time to show her sincerity. She will do her best to help you."

"Try your best, haha. This is not something a leader of a Black Horn Region force would say." Xiao Yan smiled softly, and did not directly doubt Hong Shuang's words. With a flick of his finger, two letters appeared in his hand and he handed them to Hong Shuang. "Please give these two letters to her. She can choose whichever one she wants, or she can choose none of them. It all depends on her."

"Of course, her final outcome will also depend on the choice she makes. I hope you can tell her that."

"Okay, I will tell that adult everything."

Hong Shuang took the letter and nodded. Xiao Yan also stood up and greeted Xiao Ning.

"Let's go, cousin Xiao Ning, it's time to go back, otherwise Sister Xiao Yu and the others will come looking for us."

"Hey~~~ I was thinking about having a good drink with you."

Xiao Ning looked reluctant, but still stood up and left with Xiao Yan.

Hong Shuang accompanied the two of them out of Yihong Courtyard. She stood at the gate of Yihong Courtyard and looked at the two figures getting farther and farther away. Her gaze was focused on Xiao Yan's back, and her eyes were full of admiration.

Two years ago, when Xiao Yan brought a group of students to the Black Horn Region and established a force called [Evil Prison], no one took them seriously.

At that time, the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley had lost a lot of power due to the turmoil in the Black Horn Region. All forces were busy dividing up the territory and resources. Many external forces also took this opportunity to intervene in the Black Horn Region to get a piece of the pie. Therefore, in their eyes, Xiao Yan's Evil Prison was just one of these external forces.

But no one expected that in just less than two years, Xiao Yan transformed the previously chaotic Black Horn Region into what it is today and established an unprecedented order in the Black Horn Region.

At first, Xiao Yan just silently developed the foundation of Evil Prison in the Black Horn Region. No matter the strong, the weak, children, women, and the elderly, he united all the forces that could be united and took control of the intricate intelligence network of the Black Horn Region in the hands of Evil Prison in the shortest time possible.

Then, when his power developed to a certain extent, Xiao Yan, in the name of the leader of the Evil Prison, directly announced to all the forces in the Black Horn Region that he would use various means to rebuild a new Black Horn Region and make it a place where even children can live in peace.

Naturally, these words made all the forces laugh. Not only did they laugh at Xiao Yan, but they also didn't believe that a mere student like him could accomplish such a thing.

Therefore, no one took them seriously. In their eyes, they were just a bunch of students. How could they cause such a commotion? These students also had Canaan College behind them. If they took action without permission, they might get themselves into unnecessary trouble.

The less trouble the better. In their eyes, Xiao Yan’s power would not amount to anything, so it didn’t matter at all.

But then they found out that they were wrong, and very wrong.

Since Xiao Yan issued the declaration that day, there have been more and more actions and the impact has become greater and greater. Almost all the weaklings in the city who were despised and ignored by them were Xiao Yan's spies. Even the Eight Gates that had always remained neutral were won over by Xiao Yan. It was rumored that the Medicine Emperor, who had disappeared for a long time, played a role in this.

Two years ago, when Xiao Yan just entered the Black Horn Region, the Medicine Emperor, who had disappeared for several months, suddenly returned and gathered his remaining forces. Although no one knows what the relationship between Xiao Yan and the Medicine Emperor is until now, looking back, the time when the two appeared in the Black Horn Region was too close, making it hard to believe that they have no connection.

If you can be persuaded by appeasement, try to persuade those who cannot be persuaded by bribery. If even bribery doesn't work, then use intimidation.

And if intimidation doesn't work, Xiao Yan will use force as a last resort.

Just as Xiao Yan declared, in the past two years Xiao Yan used various means to integrate the forces in the Black Horn Region, starting from small forces and gradually moving up. Those forces were either lured over by the Evil Prison or wiped out by the Evil Prison. By the time the rest of the people reacted, the overall situation had been decided and there was almost no means of turning the tables.

Now there are only five forces left that still have the strength to resist.

The Blood Sect, the Black Skull Tomb, the Tianyin Sect, the Mad Lion Gang, and the Rakshasa Sect, to which Yihong Courtyard belongs.

Anyone who can open a brothel in the Black Horn Region must have a backer.

The adult that Hong Shuang mentioned was none other than the leader of Luosha Sect, Su Mei. Hong Shuang acted as the middleman in the correspondence between the two.

“Perhaps we will soon be able to see the brand new look of the Black Horn Region.”

Hong Shuang looked at the two letters in her hands and murmured softly.

If Xiao Yan could really make the Black Horn Region a place where even children could live in peace, it would be unprecedented.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning walked side by side on the street. Looking at the brightly lit streets and listening to the laughter coming from the houses on both sides of the street, Xiao Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Although it is still very immature now, it is indeed developing towards my ideal city little by little.

"Ah~ It's really unexpected that the Black Horn Region has become like this now."

Xiao Ning held his head and looked around at the peaceful streets that were almost the same as those in Wutan City.

As a frequent visitor to Black Horn, he knew very well how dark Black Horn was two years ago. This was not just in terms of its hidden meaning, but also in the literal sense. The only place in Black Horn that was still brightly lit at night was Yihongyuan.

The streets of the Black Horn Region at night were so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. If a weak person dared to walk on the street without restraint, he would most likely be found dead on the side of the street the next day.

That darkness was extremely dangerous. It was this dangerous darkness that had now been mostly dispelled by Xiao Yan. The money earned from developing his power had basically been used by Xiao Yan to solve the livelihood issues of the grassroots. The two rows of brightly lit streets were the best example.

According to Xiao Yan, if you want to dispel the darkness in people's hearts, you must first let them truly see the light, and let them have the courage to step into this dangerous darkness.

It's really amazing. It has always been so incredible from the past to now.

Xiao Ning glanced at Xiao Yan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It is estimated that it won’t take much time before the Black Horn Region can truly proceed in the order that Xiao Yan had expected.

Yao Chen in the ring stared at Xiao Yan, his ruby-like eyes filled with pride.

What Xiao Yan was thinking was often incomprehensible to people around him, including her.

But what he thinks in his heart will never let anyone down.

She had seen all the changes in Xiao Yan. He was no longer the reckless young man who only relied on passion to pursue his ideals. In the past two years, he had been trying to act as flexibly as possible without violating his own righteous path.

Don't just talk, but use actions to prove to others that pursuing their own righteous path is definitely good for them, whether they are weak or strong.

"Well?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded slightly and pointed in a direction. The two slowly left the brightly lit street and deliberately came to a dim place.

After arriving, the two stopped at the same time. Xiao Ning put his hands on his hips, looked around the dim surroundings, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hey~ We've clearly given you a chance, why are you still hiding there?"

After Xiao Ning finished speaking, there was still silence around him, which made Xiao Ning sigh helplessly and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"Do you think it's really necessary to worry about these cowards? Can't you just gather everyone and rush over there?"

"A leader who is not recognized by others is not really a leader." Xiao Yan shrugged lightly. "If I do this, then the power I have developed so far will be no different from theirs in the eyes of others. Things have finally developed to this point, and I don't want to let all my efforts go to waste."

"Conquest by force is only temporary after all. If possible, I really want to avoid using violence as much as possible."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light in his eyes could be seen even in the night.

"But there are always some people in this world who will not give up until others resort to violence."

A cluster of blue-purple flames ignited on Xiao Yan's fingers, and quietly turned into a ray of light that streaked across the night sky and hit the black shadow hiding on the roof. Accompanied by a shrill wailing, a burning corpse fell down.

The next moment, several men in black robes flashed into the field and surrounded Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning. Their faces under their cloaks were covered in cold sweat.

Their intelligence had mentioned that Xiao Yan's strength far exceeded that of his peers, but they had not expected that he could kill a Dou Wang of the same level so easily.

Obviously, they had completely misjudged Xiao Yan's strength.

"One, two, three, four, five, six. Six people in total." Xiao Ning stretched out his hand and lightly counted the number of people in the black shadows. "Oh, no, it's five. The one has been burned to death."

Xiao Yan glanced at these men in black robes and made a judgment on their strength.

Three Dou Wangs and two Dou Huangs, leaving aside the leaders of those forces, they don’t seem like the people that a single force could send out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but find it funny.

Even though it has come to this, that group of people still don't want to fight to the death with me, and only send out these people who think they are capable of dealing with me.

It seems that the ideas of that group of people have not yet slipped from the position of superiority.

"Brother Xiao Ning, I'll leave the three Dou Wang to you. I'll handle the two Dou Huangs."

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm just one Dou Ling. Do you have the nerve to let me face three Dou Wangs at the same time?"

Xiao Ning looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief, but Xiao Yan gave him a puzzled look.

"What? Can't handle it?"

"Yeah, we can handle it, but the key is that they can fly."

Xiao Ning scratched his hair while crying, and said these ridiculous remarks with a headache.

A Dou Ling faces three Dou Wangs and actually says shamelessly that he can handle it. This is no longer a joke, it's pure dreaming.

But none of these men in black robes dared to laugh out loud. Instead, their faces were covered with cold sweat.

Because they all knew that Xiao Ning really had the ability and he was not bragging.

Even for Xiao Ning, the real problem was not their strength, but that they could fly.

"I told you before that I would give you a flying fighting skill, but you didn't want it."

Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly, while Xiao Ning crossed his arms and said firmly.

"Anyway, you can fly when you become a Dou Wang, so why spend that money? You might as well just give the money to me. The money to buy a flying fighting skill is enough for me to visit Yihongyuan a dozen times."

Xiao Ning's words were so confident that Xiao Yan was speechless.

The only one among the brothers and sisters in the family who hasn't changed much in the past two years is probably Xiao Ning. His obsession with brothels really hasn't diminished at all.

"Oh, never mind." Xiao Ning raised his hand and pressed his neck, looking at the three Dou Wangs with a grim smile, "Fight first and talk later!"

Chapter 419 Choice

In the Black Horn area, in a dark room, five people sat around a round table. The atmosphere in the room was very solemn.

These five people were all well-known leaders of forces in the Black Horn Domain. To be more precise, they were the only five leaders of forces left in the Black Horn Domain who had not yet been integrated by Xiao Yan. They all stared at each other, and no one spoke first.

"Everyone, if you have anything to say, please speak up. I'm very busy and don't have time to waste here."

Su Mei, the leader of Luosha Sect, lightly picked up her nails and urged nonchalantly. Tiewu of the Crazy Lion Gang became unhappy when he saw her attitude, and he slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

"Su Mei! Don't think this has nothing to do with you! You have to know that we are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope!"

Tiewu's words were so indignant and passionate that Su Mei couldn't help laughing.

"We are all on the same boat, but we are still on guard against each other. It sounds really pitiful." Su Mei supported her chest with her arms, narrowed her eyes and smiled at Tiewu. "I guess among the people present, you are the only one who really believes it. It's rare to find someone as simple as you in the Black Horn Region."

"you!!!"

Tiewu heard the sarcasm in Su Mei's words, and his face instantly became ferocious, as if he was about to take action in the next second.

"Okay, it's already this late, and you're still arguing with your own people?!"

The leader of Tianyin Sect, Old Man Yingu, sternly stopped the fight between the two. Tiewu's shoulders trembled for a while, but he finally sat down, suppressing his anger, his eyes still fixed on Su Mei.

Su Mei didn't care about his attention at all and leaned back in her chair calmly.

The old man Yin Gu glanced at the two of them with a sinister look, and his heart felt extremely heavy.

You know, with Xiao Yan's current strength, the five of them can only barely deal with him if they are tied together. However, even at this point, these forces are still unable to unite. If they continue like this, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated one by one by Xiao Yan.

"Ha, everyone knows the current situation. This is definitely not the time for us to fight among ourselves. We have to at least wait until we deal with that kid Xiao Yan."

The old man Yin Gu whispered this, trying to restore the relationship between the few people as much as possible. However, before anyone else spoke, Su Mei laughed first.

"No internal fighting? That's quite interesting. If you really don't want to fight, why don't you be honest with each other?"

As soon as Su Mei finished speaking, the expressions of the other four people changed suddenly, and the old man Yin Bone narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her.

"Master Su Mei, what do you mean by this?"

"Heh~" Su Mei raised her hand with a mocking look, and a letter was thrown on the table. She said coldly: "This is a letter that Xiao Yan gave me through one of my subordinates. The letter said that he hoped I could watch the dispute from the sidelines. I think he should have sent this letter to all of you here, right?"

Seeing the letter on the table, the other four people's faces became a little uglier. Su Mei smiled again when she saw this.

"But until now, no one has spoken out about this. I guess everyone wants to leave a way out for themselves, right? With such a trusting relationship, it's really amazing that you can say something like 'We are on the same boat'." Su Meiyu rested the back of her hand on her chin and looked at Tiewu with interest. "Boss Tiewu, don't you agree?"

Su Mei's words were like a slap in the face, making Tie Wu's face turn red, but he couldn't utter a word.

What Su Mei said was right. He had also received Xiao Yan's letter. However, he had just been blaming Su Mei without mentioning this matter at all. Now, Su Mei was the first to speak frankly, saying that she was not on Xiao Yan's side, which made him feel ashamed.

However, no one knew that Xiao Yan did send letters to everyone present, but only Su Mei received another letter.

However, Su Mei would never tell this matter.

The room fell silent again. After a while, the old man Yin Bone spoke first.

"I have indeed received this letter." The old man raised his hand slightly, and a letter appeared and covered the letter that Su Mei took out. "The content is the same as the letter Xiao Yan wrote to Sect Master Su Mei, and he also hopes that this old man can stand aside and watch."

As the old man Yin Gu said this, he slammed the table and spoke in a high voice.

"It's obvious that Xiao Yan is deliberately trying to divide us! The more this is the case, the more we must not do what he wants!"

"I believe everyone present here is well aware of the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent."

"He wrote this letter to make it easier for him to annex our forces, but it also revealed one thing: he is afraid of us! He is afraid that the five of us will join forces to deal with him!"

"That's why we must unite! Until Xiao Yan is completely driven out of the Black Horn Region! You don't want the foundation you have worked so hard for so many years to be given away so easily, right?"
