Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

It’s the most boring on the mountain, it’s very fun at the foot of the mountain, and this is the most fun!

Without the supervision of others, Yun Xiao chased all kinds of small animals in the jungle at will, watching the colorful insects flying in front of her eyes. For her, who spent most of her time in the sect, this was a new world.

However, Yun Xiao didn't know that this was the gate of life and death.

In other words, even if Yun Xiao knew about the Gate of Life and Death, she, who was less than two years old, did not know its significance.

Simply put, anyone who enters here without permission will die.

Just when Yun Xiao was playing happily, the crisis came quietly.

It was a lion, with jet-black mane, a mighty body, and a frightening aura.

The fifth-level magical beast, the black-maned lion!

The golden pupils stared through the bushes at Yun Xiao who was sitting there playing with the small animals. The huge body approached step by step, but made almost no sound.

Yun Xiao felt nothing, but the little animals that were originally close to Yun Xiao seemed to sense something. Their fur stood up and they screamed as they fled from here. Only Yun Xiao did not react.

What happened? Why did everyone run away?

Yun Xiao's little head was filled with question marks. At this moment, she heard a strange gurgling sound. She turned her head and saw the terrifyingly huge body of the black-maned lion appear in her sight.

For a moment, Yun Xiao's mind went blank.

Perhaps it was the inherent ferocity of the predator that made Yun Xiao, a child less than two years old, unable to think at all. She stared blankly at the black-maned lion with its bloody mouth wide open to her. It only needed to close its mouth slightly to swallow Yun Xiao into its stomach.

It was at this time that Yun Xiao came back to his senses, his whole body shaking violently, but he could not move and could only watch.

Yun Xiao died in the next moment!

At this critical moment, a cold light suddenly flashed from the center of the black mane lion's face, and then in Yun Xiao's dull gaze, the black mane lion's body slowly split into two halves with blood, and blood and smelly internal organs were scattered all over the ground, looking very horrifying.

After the two halves of the black-maned lion fell to the ground, Yunxiao saw a person standing behind the black-maned lion. He had long pink hair mixed with blood and was dragging on the ground. He was holding a long sword covered with thick blood scabs. His cherry-colored pupils revealed a murderous aura that was several times stronger than that of the black-maned lion. He stared at Yunxiao, who was sitting on the ground, as if he was looking at prey.

The young master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran!

Nalan Yanran came out of seclusion!

Chapter 435 Nalan Yanran has come out of seclusion

In the Yunlan Sect's study, the current Sect Master Yun Yun and the former Sect Master Yun Shan were sitting at their desks, writing diligently. Even Zijing, who was still a child, and Yun Leng, who had been stripped of the position of Grand Elder, were here to help share the affairs. This showed how busy the Yunlan Sect was today. In the entire hall, only the current Deputy Sect Master Ziyun was sitting leisurely against the wall.

There's nothing you can do. He can't read. It's useless even if you tie Ziyun to the desk. It's good enough that his son can help you.

Every time this happened, Yun Yun would sigh inwardly, thinking that she had had such a comfortable life as the sect leader before. All official business like these were handled solely by Yun Leng and the others. If she lived too comfortably, then problems would definitely arise. She bore a lot of responsibility for the previous corruption of the Yunlan Sect.

Compared with Yun Yun and Yun Shan's concentration, Zi Jing and Yun Leng were both a little restless, frowning from time to time and glancing outside the house.

"Zijing, Yunling, are you tired?" Yun Yun, who was rubbing her nose due to overwork, saw the deep affection between the two and asked with concern: "If you are tired, go and rest first, and leave the rest to us."

"Ah no, it's not because I'm tired, I just feel a little uneasy."

Zijing quickly waved her hands to deny it, and Yunling nodded silently.

It was obvious that the reason why the two were uneasy was not anyone else but Yun Xiao.

Yun Yun also noticed it and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao can't leave the sect by herself. There's nothing dangerous in the sect, so nothing will happen."

"what"

Zijing and Yunling responded, but the worry on their faces became even stronger.

Because Yun Yun is usually busy with official duties, at least in terms of accompanying Yun Xiao, she is far less likely to spend as much time with him as Zijing and Yun Leng. Although Yun Yun knows that Yun Xiao is a very wild child, Zijing and Yun Leng obviously know better than her how wild this naughty child can be.

In an extreme case, you said Yun Xiao dug a tunnel with his bare hands and slipped down the mountain. Zijing and Yun Leng both believed that Yun Xiao could definitely do this.

Finally, Zijing couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said to Yun Yun.

"Aunt Yunyun, I'd better go over to see Xiaoxiao."

"That's good. You've been here all morning. It's a good time to relax."

Yun Yun nodded, and Zijing turned around and was about to leave. However, when he took a step, Yunshan, who was processing paperwork, suddenly stopped, and even Ziyun, who was resting with his eyes closed against the wall, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Someone has passed through the Gate of Life and Death!"

Yunshan said in a serious tone, and Yun Yun also noticed it soon afterwards. She felt uneasy in her heart and instinctively released her spiritual sense to cover the sect, but she could not find Yun Xiao in any corner.

“Xiaoxiao!!!”

Yun Yun's face was instantly filled with panic. She put down her pen, slammed the desk, stood up and rushed out of the study. The others hurriedly followed her.

When they arrived at the courtyard where the Gate of Life and Death stood, Yun Yun became anxious instantly when she saw the Gate of Life and Death that had just closed.

How did she get in? Isn't it said that only the previous clan leaders can enter? ! !

"I guess because she is your daughter, she is recognized by the Gate of Life and Death."

Yunshan explained in a deep voice with a gloomy face, his eyes looking at the green bamboos beside the courtyard wall, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Did it crawl in along the bamboo?

"Xiaoxiao! Why are you so noisy!!!"

Yun Leng was so anxious that he kept jumping and waving his hands around. He had watched Xiaoxiao grow up in the past two years. Even if he was not his biological grandfather, he was almost like him. How could he not be anxious?

After hearing Yunshan's words, Yun Yun's face became even more panicked.

That was the Gate of Life and Death! If Yun Xiao, a child who had never practiced cultivation, went in, it would not be a matter of life and death, but a matter of life and death!

"Xiaoxiao!"

Yun Yun rushed to the door and wanted to go in, but the Gate of Life and Death was dead silent, with no response at all.

At this time, Yunshan's words came slowly.

"Those who have entered once are not allowed to enter a second time." He then glanced at Zijing, who looked anxious and agitated, and said lightly: "Those who are not the heirs of the Yunlan Sect recognized by the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect are not allowed to enter."

"What should Xiaoxiao do?!"

The anxiety on Zijing's face was almost materializing. Yunshan remained silent, slightly gritting his teeth.

Although Yunshan seemed quite calm at this time, he was already very anxious.

But the character he had cultivated during his years of seclusion told him that it was useless to be anxious. With his current strength, he was not enough to break the rules established by the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect.

Yun Yun looked at the Gate of Life and Death, her panic growing more and more intense. Then her ring flashed with light, and a long sword appeared in her hand. She was about to force the door open, but was quickly stopped by Yun Shan.

"Calm down! There is another dimension inside. If you destroy this door, Xiaoxiao will never come back!"

Yunshan's words made Yun Yun sober instantly, and she slowly put down the sword she had raised.

If Xiaoxiao is in trouble, then I

Yun Yun, I really don’t dare to think further.

"Yun'er, you guys stay here and watch. There must be a way to solve the problem of mistaken entry in the sect's classics. I will go find it now."

"I am coming too!"

As soon as Yunshan finished speaking, Zijing quickly took over. He knew that staying here would not be of much help. Only by working with Yunshan to find a solution to the problem of entering the Gate of Life and Death could Yunxiao be rescued as soon as possible.

From this point, we can see that although Zijing only looks like a teenager, his mind is quite clear. Even though he is so worried about Yun Xiao now, he still knows what he should do.

Just as Yunshan and Zijing turned around, the Gate of Life and Death suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, causing Yun Yun to step back a little.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, a pink-haired woman who looked like a savage walked out of the door, holding a long sword covered with thick blood scabs in one hand and a little girl in the other. It was Yun Xiao.

"Mother!"

"Xiaoxiao!"

Several people were delighted to see Yun Xiao, and Yun Yun even cried with joy. She rushed forward and snatched Yun Xiao from the woman's hands, squatted on the ground and held Yun Xiao tightly in her arms. Feeling the familiar body temperature in her arms, her tense heart slowly relaxed.

But the naughty boy Yun Xiao didn't notice his mother's emotions at all. Instead, he waved his hands at her excitedly.

"Mom! It's so fun inside this door! And this sister is so powerful. She can kill a monster bigger than Brother Zijing in one go."

"No more running around alone!!!"

Yun Yun's hysterical roar resounded throughout the Yunlan Sect, shaking Yun Xiao's head and causing his excited expression to freeze instantly.

Looking at Yun Yun's red eyes with tears flashing in them, and her ferocious expression at this moment, it was the first time that he saw his mother so horrible. Fear arose in his heart, and a feeling of grievance rose from his heart instantly. He raised his head and burst into tears.

“Uooa ...

Yun Xiao cried and stretched out his arms to push Yun Yun's cheek. He struggled to get out of Yun Yun's arms and ran to Zijing. He grabbed Zijing's clothes with his little hands and buried his little head in his chest.

Looking at Yun Xiao crying in her arms, Zijing felt very sympathetic, but she didn't know how to speak for Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao is running around right now, and any mother would go crazy with anxiety.

Yun Yun calmed down after yelling that sentence. Looking at Yun Xiao who was crying in Zijing's arms, she felt very guilty.

It's all because I didn't spend enough time with the child. How can I put all the blame on the child?

After a while, Yun Xiao's crying became quieter and quieter. Yun Yun stood up and walked behind Yun Xiao. She squatted down, put her hand on her shoulder and turned her around. Looking at the still sobbing Yun Xiao, her eyes were full of pity, and she hugged her tightly in her arms.

"It's mother's fault. Mother shouldn't have yelled at you." Yun Yun whispered softly in Yun Xiao's ear and unconsciously hugged her tighter. "But next time, don't run around anymore, okay? Mother was really worried just now. She was afraid of losing Xiao Xiao."

Hearing Yun Yun's trembling voice, Yun Xiao's heart trembled.

After a moment, his eyes welled up with tears and he murmured softly.

"sorry"

"Yeah good boy."

Yun Yun gently rubbed Yun Xiao's hair, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this time that Yun Yun finally reacted.

Eh? Was it someone who carried Xiaoxiao out just now?

Yun Yun turned her head and saw the pink-haired woman standing at the Gate of Life and Death.

Since the pink-haired girl appeared, Ziyun has remained vigilant until now, staring at her with his scarlet animal eyes.

This woman's murderous aura was even stronger than that of a sixth-level monster like me! Is she really a human?!

Yun Yun looked at the pink-haired woman and was stunned for a long time before speaking tentatively.

"Yanran. Is it Yanran?"

Nalan Yanran nodded, put her hands on her neck, and spoke with great difficulty.

"Teacher, long time no see." Nalan Yanran's eyes looked through her hair with a hint of apology in them, "I'm sorry. I haven't talked to you for a long time. I'm not used to it."

"Forehead"

Yun Yun's expression was a little awkward, and because of Yun Xiao in her arms, she felt very complicated and forced a smile.

"Congratulations on completing the trial. Anyway, you should rest in the sect for a while now."

Three days later, in Nalan Yanran's room, Nalan Yanran stood at the window, greeting the rising sun and stretching lazily with satisfaction.

"Wow~~~ It feels so good~~~"

In the Gate of Life and Death, Nalan Yanran was always afraid of being attacked by monsters, and she really never had a good night's sleep. In the end, she was extremely sleep deprived, which made her a little unconscious. She slept in the house for three whole days, and finally made up for the sleep she had missed in the past two years.

After washing, Nalan Yanran was completely free from her savage state. Her hair and skin became shiny and bright, and her long hair that was mopping the ground was shortened to her waist.

As for the fierceness that was always visible in his eyes before, it disappeared completely due to adequate sleep, and he looked so bright and moving.

Nalan Yanran's growth in the past two years is also obvious. He is taller and more handsome, and there is a murderous aura that cannot be underestimated. Although his figure is still not as good as Yun Yun's, it is much fuller. I guess if he stands on the street now, countless people will come up to him and propose to him.

Not to mention the strength. When she entered, Nalan Yanran was only at the Dou Shi level, but now she has reached the peak of Dou Wang and is only half a step away from breaking through to Dou Huang. It is estimated that with the help of elixirs in the next few days, there will be no problem for her to break through.

"and this."

Nalan Yanran took out the long sword covered with thick blood scabs from her ring. This was the sword given to her by Yun Yun when she first became his disciple. After two years of fighting, it was already in tatters. Now because of the blood scabs, it could no longer be considered a sharp weapon. Even if these blood scabs were removed, the sword would most likely be useless.

After thinking it over again and again, Nalan Yanran put the sword away and named it after the blood scab on it, the Scarlet Sword.

This sword has been with me for two years. It would be too cruel to just throw it away. What's more, Nalan Yanran found it quite easy to use. It has almost become a part of her body.

Anyway, with my current strength, any weapon is the same.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran's stomach began to protest and made a loud rumbling sound.

"Let's go eat first."

Nalan Yanran said this, turned around and left the room, her face full of anticipation.
