Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"I hope so."

Before Xiao Yan could speak, the Little Medical Fairy with her back to him spoke coldly.

Su Mei was not dissatisfied at all about this. Instead, she looked at her proudly.

She also realized that as long as Xiao Yan did not allow it, Xiao Yixian would not attack her without permission no matter how much she disliked her. As long as she did not touch Xiao Yan's bottom line, her life would be absolutely safe.

However, the ambition to take Xiao Yan one step further might have to be put aside for the time being.

As the boss of all the brothels in the Black Horn Region, Su Mei could see clearly at a glance what Xiao Yixian's feelings were for Xiao Yan. If she continued to get close to Xiao Yan without knowing what was good for her, Xiao Yixian might kill her even if it was against Xiao Yan's wishes.

Although it was a bit regrettable that she couldn't take a further step with such an outstanding man like Xiao Yan, Su Mei's most fundamental purpose of being close to Xiao Yan was to make herself safer. Now that she had heard Xiao Yan's statement, she felt that her goal had been achieved. If she continued, she would seem to be ignorant.

Suddenly, a deafening shout was heard from afar, attracting the attention of the Evil Prison members who were cleaning up the battlefield, and then they saw an excited and indignant crowd rushing into the territory.

Those people were either in rags, or covered in blood, or even worse, covered in scars.

But everyone's eyes were filled with a determination to die!

Xiao Yan could also tell at a glance that these people were not the remnants of the old forces, but the residents of the Black Horn Region who were plundered and ruled by those old forces.

If you calculate the time, from the time they started rebelling to the time we arrived here, it was just right.

When the residents rushed into the territory with the determination to die, they were stunned to see the members of the Evil Prison in prison uniforms cleaning the battlefield.

This. This?

At this moment, some sharp-eyed residents saw the body of Yin Bone lying on the ground, pointed at it and shouted loudly.

"Yin Bone is dead! Yin Bone is dead!!!"

As the leader of the alliance of veteran forces, the significance of Yin Gu's death is self-evident.

Their strength was very low, there was not even one Dou Wang among tens of thousands of people. They had rushed in with the determination to die, but when they heard the news, unexpected joy filled their chests and they cheered and shouted with joy.

"We won! We won!!!"

Almost instantly, the news spread from the front to the back of the team, and all the residents jumped and cheered excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's eyes showed relief, but Xiao Yixian frowned and complained with dissatisfaction.

"These guys didn't help at all, so why are they acting like it's all their fault?"

"Speaking of this, I find it quite strange." Su Mei crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yan with a charming look, her eyes full of confusion. "It is obvious that these people can't help at all, and their rebellion is useless, so why do you let me spread the news of the Evil Prison's counterattack?"

Previously, Xiao Yan's last order to Su Mei was to spread the news in the territory of the old forces when the Evil Prison and the old forces alliance were fighting a full-scale war today. Su Mei, who received the order, couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.

This group of people doesn't even have a Dou Wang, their only advantage is that they have more people. In this world, the advantage in numbers can be almost ignored. The fact that Yin Gu can easily lock up these residents is the best proof of this.

If individual strength is not enough, it will be useless no matter how many people you have.

He knew that Xiao Yan's goal was to cause unrest in the rear of Yin Gu and the others, but what was the point? Wouldn't the final result still depend on the outcome of the frontal battlefield?

If the winner this time was Yin Gu instead of Xiao Yan, even if these people rushed over, they would just be a bunch of insects seeking death.

However, Xiao Yan retorted softly.

"That's not right, Master Su. Their rebellion is quite useful."

"Ok?"

Su Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, not understanding what Xiao Yan meant. Xiao Yixian also looked over and listened to Xiao Yan's next words.

“No matter how weak they are, no matter how powerful their opponents are, no matter whether they can achieve their goals, no matter whether they will die, they must learn to resist the suffering they encounter. They cannot always expect others to save them.”

"Their rebellion is indeed useless on the front battlefield, but it is quite important to them."

"Now, they have truly abandoned the idea of ​​the survival of the fittest and have learned to resist those strong people who destroy their lives, even if it means facing death."

"Faith will be passed on and will not disappear with the death of one person."

Xiao Yan looked at the cheering residents of the Black Horn Region, his black eyes sparkling with a bright look.

"The joy of victory and the cheers are what they deserve."

Chapter 429 The Regret of the Two

With the demise of the old forces, the Black Horn Region was officially unified by the Evil Prison, and nearly 80% of the residents believed in Xiao Yan, the new ruler.

As for the remaining 20%, they are those who were accustomed to a life of robbery and plunder. However, when the old forces were completely destroyed and the concept of the survival of the fittest was completely rejected by everyone, they dared not speak out their ideas, let alone do them.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Evil Prison to take action, the angry residents would have torn them to pieces alive.

Xiao Yan proved to them with his actions that he was different from the previous rulers, and that the Black Horn Region was no longer the place where the strong preyed on the weak.

Su Qian, who was called by Xiao Yan, left a word after watching the whole process.

"Xiao Yan's future and what he wants to do are definitely not limited to this Black Horn Region."

Afterwards, he brought the teachers and students who came with him back to the academy, and the dean did not say anything against Xiao Yan again, remaining silent all the way.

What really impressed Su Qian and the Dean of Studies was not that the evil prison won, but that those weak residents rushed into the battlefield.

Those weaklings did not know in advance that the battle was over, but still rushed in to join the battle, proving that they had already prepared to die.

For a person to make others face death willingly, it is not just about being strong.

Based on this point alone, no one can blame Xiao Yan for his actions for any reason.

Outside the Black Seal City, a giant tree stood on the desolate land, and under the tree were several tombstones.

The current ruler of the Black Horn Region, the leader of the Evil Prison, Xiao Yan, was sitting cross-legged in front of these tombstones, staring at them intently, while Yao Chen's illusory figure was floating beside him.

After a long time, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh as if he was relieved.

The death of these children two years ago is a nightmare that Xiao Yan can never erase.

“Senior Yao.” Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, “If humans really have a next life, and these children are born again in the Black Horn Region, they should not experience the same tragedy again, right?”

Yao Chen was slightly stunned, his ruby-like eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.

After a while, he smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again." Yao Chen turned his head and looked at the Black Seal City in the distance, "You have completely killed the former Black Horn Region."

Yao Chen's eyes were full of pride, proud that he had such an outstanding disciple like Xiao Yan.

This is not just about talent and strength, but more about Xiao Yan's compassion for the weak even though he is a strong man.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan did not respond, nor was he happy. He lowered his head, with his hair covering his eyes.

"Those people like Senior Yao shouldn't have died."

"."

Yao Chen suddenly fell silent.

She knew who those people Xiao Yan was talking about.

These are the residents of those territories that Xiao Yan abandoned in order to make everyone understand how disgusting the law of the jungle is.

From Yao Chen's perspective, the deaths of those people could not be blamed on Xiao Yan.

Not only did Xiao Yan not plunder anything from them, but he gave them a better life. The fundamental reason for their death was also those old forces. All Xiao Yan did was to retreat when he was able to resist.

But Yao Chen knew that this was just his own thought.

With Xiao Yan's excessive sense of responsibility, he would never forgive himself.

In Xiao Yan's mind, those residents died in the plunder of the old forces because of his deliberate inaction. He regarded them as bargaining chips for completely changing the Black Horn Region and abandoned them coldly and ruthlessly.

"To achieve the goal, I will do whatever it takes. Haha, in the end, there is no difference between me and Yin Gu and the others."

Xiao Yan said in a low voice with self-mockery. Yao Chen frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

She had lectured Xiao Yan before, saying that being responsible is a good thing, but being too responsible would make people around him unacceptable.

Xiao Yan has changed a lot in the past two years, but his habit of taking all responsibilities on himself has not changed at all.

Yao Chen also understood that Xiao Yan's character would probably never change in his lifetime, so she gave up the idea of ​​lecturing him. When she opened her mouth to comfort him, Xiao Yan's voice reached her ears first.

"But next time, I definitely won't do that."

Facing Yao Chen's stunned gaze, Xiao Yan spoke word by word with a firm gaze.

"I did this this time because I am not capable enough. This is the only way I can do to achieve my goal."

"Next time, I will never allow such avoidable sacrifices to happen again."

"The weaklings caught in the middle have no reason to sacrifice themselves for me!"

Xiao Yan stood up and looked at the tombstone in front of him with a discerning gaze.

He would never think of himself as the savior of the residents of the Black Horn Region, nor would he loudly proclaim that he was doing it for their own good.

Xiao Yan had a very clear understanding of himself. Everything he did was for himself, to make himself feel at ease, to allow the righteous path he pursued to take root in everyone's heart, and to make the world what he wanted to see.

Yin Gu and I are the same kind of people. We are all trying to satisfy our own selfish desires. No one is nobler than anyone else.

Therefore, Xiao Yan will try every possible means to make others agree with his ideas, but he will never kidnap anyone with the excuse of "it's for your own good".

I have no power and I can't let anyone die for me with a clear conscience.

Looking at Xiao Yan's proud back and listening to his resolute words, Yao Chen's eyes were filled with complexity.

Even after following Xiao Yan for three years, this disciple still refreshed his understanding of him time and time again.

The more I interact with him, the more I feel that people like him don't exist.

However, Xiao Yan appeared in front of him so realistically.

At this moment, a figure appeared behind Xiao Yan. Yao Chen turned his head to look, then a smile appeared on his face and he called softly.

"Feng'er."

Xiao Yan turned around and saw Han Feng. The seriousness on his face relaxed and he smiled slightly.

"Sister."

However, Han Feng's impression at this moment was somewhat different from usual. Although his expression was still as cold as ever, there was a rare hint of anxiety in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yixian's condition has worsened."

! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yan's face changed instantly. Without asking for details, he immediately stood up and flew towards the Black Horn Region, with Han Feng following closely behind him.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at Xiao Yixian's residence. Xiao Yu was guarding the door and not letting anyone in. He glanced and saw Xiao Yan who had returned.

"Xiao Yan."

"Sister Xiao Yu! How is the Little Medical Fairy?!"

Xiao Yan tried his best to calm himself, but the panic on his face was still obvious. Xiao Yu frowned and raised his hand to hand him a note.

"This is what I saw Xiao Yixian put at the door when I came here this morning."

Xiao Yan took the note and read the words on it silently.

[Don't let anyone in. Let Xiao Yan throw me to a deserted place before the ice melts.]

Seeing the words above, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all. He turned around and opened the door rudely. A chill suddenly hit his face, and then Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.

A huge piece of ice appeared in the living room, and bone-chilling cold air was spreading outward from it, mixed with thick purple poisonous gas.

And inside the ice stone, Little Medical Fairy was trapped inside, with her eyes closed as if she was sleeping.

"Little Medical Fairy!"

Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and his panic made him unable to think more. He instinctively wanted to rush forward to smash the ice and rescue Xiao Yixian, but Han Feng grabbed his wrist.

"Don't smash the ice. If you do, few people in this city will be spared."

"."

After being stopped by Han Feng, the mature Xiao Yan regained his composure. He frowned, thought for a moment, and asked in a deep voice.

"Is this the case, that the Little Medical Fairy froze herself?"

At least in the Black Horn Region, apart from the old demon who was killed by Xiao Yan two years ago, Xiao Yan had never heard of any other cultivator with ice attribute. Hai Bodong was far away in the Jia Ma Empire. So, by the process of elimination, the only person who could have frozen the Little Medical Fairy was herself.

Han Feng nodded and said softly.

"According to my guess, Xiao Yixian suddenly felt her poison erupt in the middle of the night. She had no time to leave the city and could only leave a note to freeze herself in the room. Otherwise, if her poison erupted, everyone in this city below the rank of Dou Wang would be engulfed by the poison gas and die."

The poisonous body explodes and no grass grows.
