Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Why did you attack me?"

This soul envoy didn't want to answer Xiao Yan's question. Just by looking at Xiao Yan's eyes, he could guess that the person in front of him had a big feud with the Soul Palace. He could guess what would happen with his toes. .

However, when he met Xiao Yan's eyes, the fear in his heart made him have no time to think and he immediately answered.

"The master of the palace asked us to come! Let us kill all those who are not from the Soul Palace in this Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range!"

"Us?" Xiao Yan noticed this word, felt bad in his heart, and asked sternly, "How many people are there besides you?!"

"I don't know for sure either! All I know is that all the soul envoys from our branch are here! About thirty or forty of them!"

Are all thirty or forty Douzongs?

Xiao Yan's eyes were stunned. He heard Yao Shen say that Dan Pagoda and Soul Palace have been sworn enemies from ancient times to the present. Soul Palace also knew this very well. Under normal circumstances, it rarely had direct conflicts with Dan Pagoda, but now it happened all at once. Sending so many Soul Palaces to Danta’s territory to massacre the contestants? !

Moreover, this soul envoy was talking about their branch hall, which means that there may be more than just these thirty or forty people coming!

". Got it, thank you for the information."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan thanked the soul envoy like this. It was obviously such a polite word, but the cold light in his eyes made his expression suddenly change.

"Rao"

puff!

The gorgeous alien fire ignited from Xiao Yan's hand, instantly swept through the body of the soul envoy, and burned it into nothingness in the blink of an eye, not even the soul was left.

The little medical fairy was unfazed by the miserable situation of this soul envoy, and frowned and asked in his heart.

(Xiao Yan, why did the Soul Palace suddenly break into this place and massacre the contestants?)

(I don’t know. Judging from the guy’s expression just now, he probably doesn’t know why he gave this order.) Xiao Yan grabbed his wrist and twisted it slightly, narrowing his eyes slightly. (But now, it seems that this is not the time to leisurely collect medicinal materials. .)

Damn, damn, damn, damn!

Why do people from the Soul Palace appear in the Wanyao Mountains? !

In the dense forest, the expression on Ye Xinlan's face was extremely nervous, and her eyes were full of fear and panic. She carefully hid her body, trembling all over.

Just ten minutes ago, Ye Xinlan was happily collecting medicinal materials in the forest. Looking at the precious medicinal materials one after another that her family could not afford now, Ye Xinlan felt extremely excited.

After just one trip, even if she couldn't participate in the next project, the medicinal materials collected were enough for her to practice for a long time.

Alchemists are very expensive, not only because the materials themselves are expensive, but also because learning to be an alchemist requires burning a large amount of medicinal materials to gain experience. Except for a few geniuses such as Cao Yingdanchen, most alchemists actually You have to pile up money on top of everything.

Anyway, Ye Xinlan didn't expect that she could pass this event from the beginning. The other contestants were both Douzong and seventh-grade alchemists. How could she, a sixth-grade alchemist at the level of a Dou Wang, have the fighting capital?

Ye Xinlan has always been very self-aware in this regard.

However, just when Ye Xinlan was humming a little tune and doing her best to collect materials that she could use in the future, and was feeling happy that she would no longer be short of medicinal materials when practicing refining medicine in the future, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the trees in the distance through the layers of tree trunks. A contestant.

Ye Xinlan knew that contestant, Yu Qian from the Yu family. Although she was not familiar with him, she had met him. She was a sixth-grade alchemist at the Dou Huang level.

Ye Xinlan didn't intend to seek trouble by trying to get close to others. Everyone here was a competitor, and the other party looked at her with the mentality of excluding opponents.

It doesn't matter if he loses, but the key point is that he can't continue to happily collect medicinal materials after leaving the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range.

So Ye Xinlan turned away very decisively, trying to avoid the other party.

However, at this moment, Ye Xinlan caught a glimpse of a chain suddenly falling from the sky, piercing Yu Qian's Tianling Gai directly through her! Then Yu Qian died there without even reacting at all! If Ye Xinlan hadn't tightly covered her mouth immediately, she would have screamed.

Then Ye Xinlan did not dare to stay any longer, and lay down carefully on the ground, completely ignoring the soil on the ground, and moved away from the murder scene little by little, without daring to let out her fighting spirit and soul power at all.

And while Ye Xinlan was hiding herself like a book, she met many contestants who had the same experience as Yu Qian. Most of them died on the spot without even having a chance to take out the space stone and escape. , Ye Xinlan could see the corpses of her fellow contestants wherever she went. Until now, she was hiding in the lush grass, not even daring to take a breath.

I saw Ye Xinlan holding the space stone tightly in her hand, but never crushed it.

It's not that Ye Xinlan covets the medicinal materials here and doesn't want to leave, but that among the contestants who were killed before, a few of them took out the space stones and crushed them before they were killed. However, they He still stayed where he was and did not return to the Dan Pagoda at all. Then he was killed by those mysterious people with despair in his eyes.

Seeing these pictures, Ye Xinlan came to two conclusions.

One is that the space stone in the contestant's hand happened to be broken, and the other is that everyone's space stone cannot be used.

The first reason can be ignored directly, Danta will never go wrong on this kind of thing.

As for the other one, it is even more unlikely that all the space stones will have problems at the same time. Then it can only be because someone has blocked the space here.

In other words, if you crush the space stone now, not only will you not be able to run away, but it may also cause movement and reveal your location!

Dad, your daughter, I just want to come here to buy some inventory. Why did this happen to me?

Ye Xinlan felt very sad in her heart, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, but she did not dare to show any signs of crying.

"Hey, there's a mouse hiding here?"

This sound was like the ice that drove Ye Xinlan into hell. The hair on Ye Xinlan's body stood up. She suddenly turned her head and saw a man standing beside her at some point, with swimming chains wrapped around his arms. .

Without saying any more nonsense, the chain with spikes stabbed straight towards Ye Xinlan, who was stunned. Ye Xinlan instinctively closed her eyes, not even thinking of crushing the space stone and taking a gamble. Gone.

boom!

The expected pain did not come, but instead there was a loud roar, which made Ye Xinlan suddenly open her eyes. What she saw was what she had often seen in the Black Corner Territory, standing forever like a savior. The majestic figure in front of everyone.

The evil leader, Xiao Yan!

Chapter 589 The Soul Palace Attacks

(A critical moment?)

Xiao Yan looked sideways at the shocked Ye Xinlan behind him, and found no external injuries on her body. He felt a little relieved. He glanced at the headless corpse in front of him, as if his head had been smashed by Xiao Yan's punch.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao, leader Xiao Yan!!!"

After being stunned, Ye Xinlan's eyes instantly filled with tears. She crawled toward Xiao Yan trembling with excitement, straightened up, hugged Xiao Yan's waist tightly and cried.

"Thank you! Thank you very much for your life-saving grace! This little girl has nothing to repay, so she is willing to give her life like a cow or a horse!"

Ye Xinlan was really frightened by the scene just now and turned pale. Now that she had escaped death, the ups and downs of her life had shaken her spirits a little. Regardless of the deeper meaning of what she said, it was about He said all the words like thank you for the repayment at once.

The little medical fairy was surprisingly not jealous this time. She could also see that Ye Xinlan was just frightened and went crazy. She probably didn't even know what she said.

Xiao Yan knelt down, raised his hand and patted Ye Xinlan's shoulder gently, comforting her softly.

"Ye Xinlan, calm down and take a deep breath with me."

Xiao Yan guided Ye Xinlan with a gentle tone, and Ye Xinlan also followed Xiao Yan's guidance and took deep breaths to adjust her emotions again and again. Her spirit, which was disturbed by being almost killed, finally returned to normal.

"Chief Xiao Yan, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Ye Xinlan once again expressed her gratitude to Xiao Yan, but this time her mood was much calmer. Then she suddenly thought of something and waved her hand to explain with a blush on her face.

"That! Don't take what I said just now about my promise to you! I absolutely support you and the owner of the museum! How can I do something that even the owner of the museum has not been able to do!"

Hearing Ye Xinlan's words "Absolutely support you and the owner", the little medical fairy felt very happy. It was considered that she had not hurt this girl in vain before.

However, after hearing what she said next, "Even the owner of the museum has not been able to fulfill his wish", the little medical fairy's mood, which had not yet recovered, suddenly sank to the bottom, and she suddenly felt like she had been hit by an arrow in her heart.

That's right. I'm obviously the one who has been training with Xiao Yan for the longest time. However, I haven't gotten what I wanted. The leader of the Yunlan Sect and the Queen of the Snake People have already become

When Xiao Yan heard the resentful thoughts in the little medical fairy's heart, he twitched his lips in embarrassment, and then looked at Ye Xinlan with a serious face.

"Ye Xinlan, tell me what happened."

Then Ye Xinlan told Xiao Yan everything she had seen before, including the fact that the space stone could not be used, which made Xiao Yan frown tightly.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range is not small. The person who can seal off the entire space must at least be at the level of Xuan Kongzi. The purpose of the Soul Palace letting such a person come to the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range to lock the space is to send a large number of people from the Soul Palace. What good does it do them if they come to massacre the contestants?

You must know that not only Danta people are participating in the Danta Conference, but also alchemists from all forces. The Soul Palace has offended more than just Danta this time, even if it excludes other participants in order to obtain Three Thousand Flames. Or, how can the Danta Tower let you enter the Star Realm again after you have done this in the Soul Palace?

Xiao Yan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why the Soul Palace did this. He could only put this question behind him and look at the space stone in Ye Xinlan's hand.

Ye Xinlan also felt Xiao Yan's gaze, raised the space stone and asked.

"Leader Xiao Yan, how about I crush it and try to get you back?"

". It's better to keep it for now. Since you saw someone crushing the space stone with your own eyes and not going back, it should prove that your guess is correct. This space has been blocked by the Soul Palace. Crushing it now is a waste. "Xiao Yan paused, and then said: "When there is a chance to break the space blockade later, you can keep it and go back as soon as possible, so save it now."

"Yeah! You're right!"

Ye Xinlan immediately nodded in agreement and put away the space stone in his hand, while Xiao Yan turned sideways and looked at the lush and boundless forest in front of him.

Although I don’t know what the purpose of the Soul Palace is, it is an indisputable fact that the Soul Palace has begun to hunt contestants, and others must be reminded as soon as possible.

"Well, although this method is a bit exposing oneself, it is the only way to do it." Xiao Yan pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then made a decision in his heart, turned to look at Ye Xinlan, "Ye Xinlan, wait a moment Just stay with me and don’t leave even a step,”

"Ah? Oh!"

Ye Xinlan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded sharply.

Ye Xinlan had already made up her mind without Xiao Yan opening her mouth. Today, even if the King of Heaven comes, she will rely on Xiao Yan. No one wants her to leave Xiao Yan, of course only in the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range. .

Ye Xinlan was thinking like this and saw Xiao Yan put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes slightly. The soul power began to gather in his consciousness and began to accumulate bit by bit. Ye Xinlan's expression became more and more intense. Something is wrong.

Wait, is Leader Xiao Yan thinking?

As if to confirm Ye Xinlan's conjecture, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes in the next second, his eyes flashed, and the condensed soul power instantly enveloped the entire Wanyao Mountain Range!

"Xiao Yan?!"

Feeling the soul in her body being touched, Cao Ying looked in the direction of Xiao Yan in astonishment. It was too late for the contestants to hide their whereabouts. Why did you take the initiative to expose it?

As soon as this question popped up in her mind, Cao Ying suddenly frowned.

Although the contact time with Xiao Yan was not long, Xiao Yan gave her the impression that he was not the kind of person who would do unreasonable things.

Cao Ying raised her eyes, stepped on the void with her legs and jumped up, hiding her figure at the top of a towering tree. She squinted her eyes slightly, and through the leaves she could clearly see the flames in the sky in the direction of Xiao Yan. A line of text arranged.

[Beware of danger when the Soul Palace is coming]

Soul Palace? !

Cao Ying looked stunned.

impossible! This is the territory of Dan Pagoda, how could the Soul Palace be... Huh?

Cao Ying, who immediately followed her instinct to deny, suddenly calmed down and frowned even more tightly.

It is said to be Danta's private territory, but in fact it is not an independent space, but an actual place somewhere on the mainland.

It's just because the Dan Pagoda has set up space restrictions around the Wanyao Mountain Range. Normally, ordinary people can't find it and can't get in. Under normal circumstances, they can only enter here through the Dan Pagoda.

In other words, if the Soul Palace really finds this place in advance and sends people to ambush it, it is not impossible, not to mention that doing so will offend Danta.

Just as Xuan Yi said that day, even the Soul Palace dared to attack Master Yao. What else could they not dare to do in Zhongzhou?

In any case, it is better to believe that something is there than to believe that it is not. It is always right to be careful.

Thinking like this, Cao Ying jumped down from the tree, and when she was about to find a place to hide, her expression suddenly froze, as if she had thought of something, and she suddenly looked in the direction of Xiao Yan.

By the way, if Xiao Yan's words were true, wouldn't it be tantamount to exposing his position to the Soul Palace by doing so?

Thinking of the line of flame text she saw in the air just now, Cao Ying's frown deepened.

Could it be that that guy just wanted to tell the other contestants about this? But wasn't he afraid that he would be besieged by the Soul Palace?

Cao Ying was confused and couldn't help asking herself questions in her heart.

If he were Xiao Yan, would he do this in the same position?

Soon, Cao Ying got the answer.

I don’t think so. I probably can’t do it.

At best, I am just acquaintances with these contestants, but I am not familiar enough to put myself in danger for them.

Cao Ying had never felt that there was anything wrong with her morals, but compared with Xiao Yan's actions, she suddenly seemed a lot worse.

The one with the problem is obviously Xiao Yan.

(Xiao Yan, I sincerely admire you as a person.) Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan's direction with complicated eyes, then turned around resolutely and ran quickly towards the gathering place in the opposite direction, (but unfortunately, I didn't You are so selfless, everything I have will never allow me to die here!)

"It's that boy"

Venerable Qinghua immediately identified Xiao Yan's soul power. Looking at the flame words written by Xiao Yan in the air, he frowned tightly, but he did not have the slightest idea of ​​doubting Xiao Yan.

It's not that he believes in Xiao Yan, but that he believes in the Soul Palace. Lord Qinghua believes that the Soul Palace, which is full of evil, can definitely do this.

"Sure enough, Xuan Kongzi and the others shouldn't let you in just for the sake of Danta's reputation, Mu Gu."

Venerable Qinghua spoke suddenly, and then glanced aside coldly.

Wherever Venerable Qinghua looked, a burst of black mist appeared, and finally a figure condensed into a figure, letting out a very sinister laugh.

"Jie Jie Jie ~ Qing Hua, everyone will say it in hindsight, but it's a pity that you will never have a chance again." Mu Gu's eyes were full of sinister birds of prey, and the ominous black mist kept swirling around him, "Today, in the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range, except for my Soul Palace, Man, there will be no other survivors.”

Although Mu Gu said such harsh words, there were still several question marks in his mind.
