Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yan dared to conclude that the next time Queen Medusa woke up, it would not be as easy to deal with as it is now.

"what?"

When Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei heard Xiao Yan's words, they looked at each other in bewilderment, totally not understanding what Xiao Yan meant.

What do you mean it will happen every once in a while? Who did you offend?

While Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei were puzzled, Yao Chen, who had watched the whole process in the ring, was almost laughing like crazy, and was teasing his disciple with words in his heart.

(Xiao Yanzi, how does it feel to be almost raped by Medusa?)

(.It's terrible.)

Xiao Yan responded in his heart, causing Yao Chen to pretend to be contemptuous.

(You are just born with a blessing but you don't know how to appreciate it. You can be raped by Medusa. Others don't have this opportunity yet~)

(.)

Xiao Yan remained silent and ignored Yao Chen's teasing. He was supported by Xiao Yu and sat on the half-opened bed. He took out the Qi-recovering pill from his ring and swallowed it in one gulp.

Fortunately, Queen Medusa's intention was not to murder Xiao Yan, so Xiao Yan did not suffer any injuries except for overdrawing his fighting spirit.

Uh. But for Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa's purpose was also a murder in a sense.

After taking the Qi-regenerating pill and regulating his breathing for a while, Xiao Yan's complexion gradually improved and his breathing became smoother. After taking a deep breath, he looked up at Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei.

"Sister Xiao Yu, what do you want to see me for?"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei frowned slightly, and seeing that Xiao Yan did not mention what happened just now, they did not ask any further questions.

Anyway, in the past two years, Xiao Yan has done so many things that they couldn't understand, so they have gotten used to it.

"I just received news that the Tianyin Sect, the Crazy Lion Gang, the Black Skull Tomb, the Blood Sect, and the Luosha Sect have officially formed an alliance. The Tianyin Sect is currently led by the old man Yingu, the leader of the Tianyin Sect. They have begun to massively obstruct our efforts to integrate the Black Horn Region. They have even taken back some of the territories that were originally the Evil Prison."

Xiao Yu said this in an orderly manner, but there was no surprise on Xiao Yan's face.

"Really? They finally started."

Xiao Yan stood up with the support of his knees, shook his shoulders lightly, and turned to look at Xiao Mei.

"Mei'er, what happened to you?"

If it was the previous Xiao Mei, she would most likely come here simply because she wanted to see Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Mei is very different after these two years. She attaches great importance to the responsibilities entrusted to her by Xiao Yan, and she will not leave her post without special circumstances.

Therefore, Xiao Mei would come to see him with Xiao Yu, and they must have something to say.

Just as Xiao Yan thought, Xiao Mei spoke with a serious expression.

"In the past two days, a lot of misleading rumors have begun to spread among the forces of the Evil Prison. Many logistical personnel have also turned into rebels. Today alone, we have arrested more than a dozen people who were making small moves within the sphere of influence of the Evil Prison."

"That's it."

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding. He had considered this a long time ago. Even if Old Man Yin Gu and his men formed an alliance, it was an obvious fact that their power could not match that of the Evil Prison. They would not have much chance of winning relying on force alone. Therefore, spreading rumors within the Evil Prison's sphere of influence to shake people's hearts was a completely foreseeable move.

After all, even if the Evil Prison has gathered those forces, there are still some people who are wavering in their positions. Some people hope that the Black Horn Region will return to its former chaotic state, while others simply do not trust the Evil Prison.

Even though the Evil Prison has developed rapidly in the past two years and has now swallowed up most of the forces in the Black Horn Region, there are still many people who are afraid of the old forces like the Tianyin Sect. Deep down, they do not believe that the Evil Prison, a new force, can compare to those old forces that have united.

That is to say, although they don't say it on the surface, they still believe in the law of the jungle in their bones, and so far the Evil Prison has not shown the strength to make them submit from the bottom of their hearts.

"What happened to those people?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Mei, who answered softly.

"They are currently locked up in a cell awaiting their fate. Teacher Xiao Yixian originally wanted to kill them directly, but Sister Xiao Yu stopped her and said that she would make a decision after consulting you."

"Good! Well done, Sister Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yan clapped his hands and praised Xiao Yu generously. Xiao Yu put one hand on her waist and chuckled.

"After all, you said before that you wanted to find some typical examples, and these people are just right as representatives." Xiao Yu paused, then asked: "So, is it settled?"

"Well, it's settled."

Xiao Yan nodded in response. The two of them asked and answered each other, leaving Xiao Mei with a puzzled look on her face. It was obvious that she didn't understand what was going on.

It’s settled? What’s settled?

At this moment, Xiao Yan turned to look at her and spoke.

"Mei'er, you should carry out your work as usual in the next two days. Capture those who should be arrested, and don't kill them unless it is absolutely necessary." After that, Xiao Yan arranged for Xiao Yu, "Sister Xiao Yu, you will assist Mei'er in arresting those rebels within the sphere of influence. By the way, please tell Xiao Yixian that if the Tianyin Sect counterattacks our forces, just pretend to resist, and don't fight to the end. They can take the territory if they want, and casualties must be avoided as much as possible."

"Well, I see."

Xiao Yu nodded solemnly.

Xiao Yan looked out the window, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his black eyes.

All that needs to be done has been done. As for the outcome, it all depends on what happens in three days.

Chapter 423 Plunder

There have been turmoil in the Black Horn Region in the past two days. The old forces headed by Old Man Yin Gu have launched counterattacks on the Evil Prison's territory one after another. The Evil Prison had originally occupied 80% of the territory in the Black Horn Region, but 30% of it had been taken away in just two days. Now the power of both sides can be said to be evenly divided.

“Hahahahaha! As expected, the people under Xiao Yan are just a bunch of losers! That Heavenly Doctor Hall owner and the second in command of the Evil Prison are just useless pieces of shit who don’t even dare to fight for their lives!”

Tie Wu, leader of the Crazy Lion Gang, stood on the roof, laughing wildly as he watched Xiao Yixian, who was leading his men to flee in panic. His laughter was so harsh, like sharp thorns piercing Xiao Yixian's heart.

Damn it! If it weren't for Xiao Yan.

Little Medical Fairy gritted her teeth, her face under the bamboo hat was full of unwillingness. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's order, she would have turned back and fought to the death with Tiewu!

However, every time Xiao Yixian wanted to turn back, her inner trust in Xiao Yan still restrained her. She could only try her best to ignore Tiewu's ridicule and protect her men to leave the territory that originally belonged to Evil Prison.

After Xiao Yixian led his men to evacuate, Tiewu was not in a hurry to pursue them. He was just a hot-tempered person, not a brainless one. If he continued to go deeper, he would be besieged by other people in the Evil Prison. He still understood the principle of not chasing after a desperate enemy.

"Go, you guys." Tiewu crossed his arms, turned around and waved his hand to give orders to the people of the Crazy Lion Gang, "Grab everything valuable in this land and make up for what I've been missing these days. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed! Let them know who is the master here!"

"Yes!"

The Mad Lion Gang responded loudly, and scattered in all directions with the ferocious Xiao Yan, doing the same plundering actions as before, but this time they were more brutal than before.

Tie Wu knew in his heart that their so-called alliance was only temporarily established to fight against Xiao Yan. Once Xiao Yan was dealt with, they would immediately go their separate ways and oppose each other. Therefore, during this period, they had to plunder as many resources as possible for the Mad Lion Gang to increase resources for future development.

Moreover, the territory of the Evil Prison has developed quite prosperously under Xiao Yan's governance, and countless good things have been accumulated in the past two years. Tiewu has been coveting it for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to plunder, how can he let it go?

For a time, the land was filled with wailing, and countless people's property was brutally plundered by the Mad Lion Gang. Some were even slaughtered in the streets for refusing to obey. After being ruled by the Evil Prison for a year, they once again deeply recalled what the Black Horn Region used to be like.

Just as the Crazy Lion Gang was looting, Old Man Yin Gu and Su Mei also rushed over. Tie Wu turned his head and when he saw Su Mei, disgust and murderous intent were clearly revealed in his eyes.

Since Tiewu did not hide it at all, Su Mei naturally felt it clearly, but she did not conflict with Tiewu. She did not even say a word and just pretended not to see it.

The old man Yin Gu looked at the people wailing everywhere, his heart was not moved at all, and he had no intention of blaming Tiewu.

This is how the Black Horn region should be. What is there to blame?

What's more, the instability of the alliance is a consensus among all of them. Old Man Yingu is also quite clear in his heart that Tiewu wants to take advantage of the alliance to expand the Crazy Lion Gang as much as possible. Or it can be said that not only Tiewu, but others also think so.

Therefore, when arranging the attack on the territory, Old Man Yingu carefully divided the attack area for each force, trying to achieve a balance to avoid rifts among these people and complaints against each other. Old Man Yingu also stated in advance that after the capture of the territory, the distribution of all supplies in the territory would be decided by the attacking force itself, and no one else had the right to interfere.

As for whether you can win or not, it depends on your ability. If you need help from others, that's fine, but at the same time, the resources in the territory must be divided equally.

As the old man Yin Gu scanned the territory, he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

It's like they did something wrong.

What did I do wrong? What's wrong?

The old man Yin Bone kept asking himself in his heart, thinking carefully about what was wrong.

Just then, Tiewu said to him with a big laugh.

“Yin Gu, you told us earlier that we should be careful when confronting the Evil Prison gang. In my opinion, it’s totally unnecessary.” Tie Wu crossed his arms and grinned, “Even the second-in-command of the Evil Prison, the owner of the Heavenly Doctor Hall, was just a weakling. I beat him and he fled in a few rounds.”

".Is it."

The old man Yin Gu replied in a neither light nor heavy tone, but his wrinkled brows were tightly locked.

There are several Douhuangs in the Crazy Lion Gang, so the owner of the Tianyi Clinic would certainly not be able to compete with them alone. It is not incomprehensible that he fled in panic after fighting with Tiewu for a few rounds. After all, continuing to fight would only be a waste of life.

But why do I always feel inexplicably creepy in my heart?

He asked Su Mei to come here for safety reasons. Their alliance had frequently attacked the Evil Prison's territory in the past few days, and Xiao Yan should have been prepared, so it was very likely that this territory was guarded by more than just the owner of the Tianyi Pavilion.

But now it seems that she is really the only one here? Did Xiao Yan not expect them to attack here?

Moreover, even if there was only one owner of Tianyi Clinic, she retreated too decisively. It was less than half an hour from the time the Crazy Lion Gang attacked to the time they ended. It was more like they retreated without any resistance rather than being unable to win.

Was the head of the clinic that day afraid of death? Or was this an order given to her by Xiao Yan?

If it was Xiao Yan who issued the order, then what was Xiao Yan's purpose? What benefit would it bring to them to give up the territory so simply?

The old man Yin Gu's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at the area where the wailing continued. His eyes flashed and he had a guess in his mind.

Could it be that Xiao Yan left an undercover agent in this area?

As soon as this guess came up, Old Man Yin Bone seemed to have figured it out instantly.

Yes, that's it.

Xiao Yan deliberately gave up the territory easily and left many of his fighters in the territory. When they continued to attack later, they would inevitably fight a big battle with the Evil Prison collective. By then, the undercovers hiding in the rear would come out, and they would be in a situation of being besieged, which would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

The old man Yin Gu was extremely sure of this idea. He secretly mocked Xiao Yan's youth in his heart, turned his head and instructed Tie Wu.

"Iron Crow, search carefully during the plunder. It is very likely that Xiao Yan has planted undercover agents in this territory. Find them all."

".I see." Tiewu raised his eyebrows, immediately understanding the old man Yin Gu's idea, and then nodded, waved his hand to call over a subordinate and ordered him, "Go, control all the people above Dou Ling in this area, and kill anyone who dares to disobey."

Obviously, it is quite difficult to find out whether they are Xiao Yan's men from these people. It would be more convenient to skip the identification process and just pick them out and control them all.

Tie Wu originally wanted to kill them directly, but after thinking about it, he thought that after Xiao Yan was completely destroyed, those people above Dou Ling level could be integrated into the Mad Lion Gang, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the strength of the Mad Lion Gang. It would be a pity to kill so many invisible assets directly.

When the old man Yingu heard the order given by Tiewu, he immediately guessed his little thoughts, but he didn't say anything. As mentioned before, this piece of territory was conquered by the Crazy Lion Gang, and all he could do was to make suggestions. He had no right to interfere with Tiewu's decision regarding this territory.

The old man Yin Gu was almost certain that Xiao Yan was planning to hide an undercover agent behind them, but after Tie Wu gave the order, his worries disappeared, but he still felt uncomfortable.

It seemed as if something was happening right in front of him, but he ignored it.

While the old man Yin Bone frowned, Su Mei clasped her arms, looked at the wailing below, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Is this how Blackhorn should be?

Su Mei looked at the old man Yin Gu and Tie Wu with contempt in her heart.

One is old and corrupt, the other is brainless. These two people still hold the same ideas of the Black Horn Region as before, and still believe that the law of the jungle is the default form of the Black Horn Region.

Yes, the Black Horn Region should be like this indeed. It has been like this for thousands of years. From the perspective of the people in the Black Horn Region, it is understandable that the Mad Lion Gang plundered this land.

The survival of the fittest is a natural thing in the Black Horn Region.

But these Black Horn Regions that were originally under Xiao Yan’s governance are no longer the Black Horn Regions where the strong prey on the weak.

People who have been in the dark for a long time will get used to it, and even if they have complaints in their hearts, they will slowly disappear with time.

However, they have seen the light and another way of living.

A life where you can live a better life through your own efforts without fear of being plundered by the powerful.

And at this moment, darkness fell again, and the law of the jungle returned.

In this case, what will happen to these people’s complaints?

Su Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and gently stroked the corner of her mouth with her delicate hand.

On the surface, they are predators.

But in fact, Xiao Yan is the real plunderer.

The things he plundered were far more valuable than these abundant resources.

At the Evil Prison headquarters, Xiao Yan sat in his study and sorted out the latest developments of the various territories under the jurisdiction of the Evil Prison.

Suddenly, the study door was pushed open, and the little medical fairy strode in, throwing the bamboo hat on her head directly onto the table.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! How dare that Iron Crow act so arrogantly in front of me!!!"

At this moment, Xiao Yixiang was filled with resentment, and there was a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Yes, it is true that Tiewu’s level is higher than mine, and he is followed by several Douhuangs and Douwangs. Judging from the combat power alone, I really cannot beat him.

But I have the body of the evil poison! Even if I can't win, I can still cause them considerable casualties and then retreat calmly, instead of running away like a dog without even fighting like before! And I have to listen to Tiewu's arrogant ridicule!

And that territory. Ever since the Tianyi Clinic was merged into the Evil Prison, Xiao Yan had let him manage that piece of territory. He also governed it strictly according to the strategy formulated by Xiao Yan. The entire territory was thriving, and it had developed from an area that was almost the most chaotic and dilapidated to what it is today.
