Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"it is good."

Feng Xian nodded slightly, and then they entered the Yun family together, and went to the hall under the guidance of the Yun family servants.

Perhaps because more and more people have been invited to the Yun family in recent years, the hall for entertaining guests has expanded more than ten times and is filled with hundreds of large round tables. Not to mention dozens of people, it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

"Senior Feng Xian!"

As soon as they stepped into the hall, Feng Xian and Qing Luan heard a familiar call. They looked and saw the Little Medical Fairy standing up and waving at them. At the same time, they saw Cao Ying and the other two sitting next to them. With a slightly suspicious look in their eyes, they walked over slowly with Qing Luan.

"Why are you two together? Where is Xiao Yan?"

Feng Xian asked softly, and the Little Medical Fairy raised her hand to answer.

"Yesterday, Xiao Yan returned to Xingyun Pavilion. When he heard that Senior Feng Xian and you had come to the Yun family, he rushed over. He said that he wanted to discuss something with the eldest lady of the Yun family."

"Is it."

Feng Xian responded softly. As for what Xiao Yan wanted to discuss specifically, she did not ask. She slightly turned sideways to introduce him to Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer.

"Valley Master Tang Zhen, this is Xiao Yan's wife, Little Medical Fairy."

"Little Medical Fairy, these two are the master of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen, and his daughter, Tang Huoer. Xiao Yan went to Burning Flame Valley earlier just to make elixirs for Tang Huoer to cure her illness."

After Feng Xian finished introducing the two parties, Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer expressed their gratitude again and then everyone sat together. Xiao Yixian, Cao Ying, Gu Qinghan, Qingluan and Tang Huoer sat on one side.

They were all young girls, and they could always chat together, even the aloof Gu Qinghan was no exception. And perhaps because they were all lively and optimistic, Qingluan and Tang Huoer, the two girls who met for the first time, were the most excited to chat.

On the other side were three elderly people, Feng Xian, Tang Zhen and Hai Bodong. Although Tang Zhen was the only old one, they were all over 50 years old. Among them, Hai Bodong, who looked like a five or six-year-old child, was the oldest. When Hai Bodong reported his age while chewing an apple, Tang Zhen was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

It is not difficult to make yourself look younger, but most strong people will not do this. There are too many disadvantages brought by a small body. Not to mention the disadvantage in combat, there are also many inconveniences in daily life. This is indeed the case. If Hai Bodong was not forced, he would not want to maintain this body shape all the time.

"Pavilion Master Feng Xian, are you invited to the Yun family every year?"

"It depends." Feng Xian replied to Tang Zhen's question calmly, "If there is nothing to do that year, I will come to participate. There is no opportunity to gather so many leaders of forces at one time on the mainland now. I may be able to use this opportunity to expand some relationships if I am invited here."

"Haha~ Pavilion Master Feng Xian is obviously the deputy pavilion master, but he is so concerned about Xingyun Pavilion. It is really a great blessing for the Medicine Saint."

Tang Zhen praised Feng Xian in a very natural way, but he didn't expect Feng Xian's face to darken immediately. The endless messes that Yao Chen had left for her in the past popped up in her mind.

"That's right. I'm just a deputy pavilion master, but I have to worry so much about Xingyun Pavilion."

Feeling the almost tangible aura of resentment emanating from Feng Xian, Tang Zhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He quietly moved away from Feng Xian, still mumbling in his heart.

Did I say something wrong?

Tang Zhen shook his head lightly, quickly changed the subject and asked Feng Xian.

"Master Feng Xian, this is also the first time I've been invited to the Yun family. I don't know much about this family. Can you help introduce it to me?"

The dark energy on Feng Xian's face gradually dissipated. She frowned slightly and spoke slowly after thinking for a while.

"As for introduction, it seems that there is nothing much to introduce." Feng Xian looked at the high platform in front of the hall, her expression slightly solemn, "According to his eldest daughter Yun Ying of the Yun family, their Yun family specializes in funerals for the powerful."

"Holding a funeral for a strong man?"

Tang Zhen frowned tightly. What kind of strange business is this?

Hai Bodong, who was chewing an apple on the other side, also pricked up his ears when he heard this strange business scope.

"According to what they said, there are many lone strongmen who can't find anyone to bury them when they are dying. At first, the Yun family just occasionally helped to hold a funeral for a dying strongman, and then gradually regarded this as their main business. Now, not only lone strongmen, but even many people who are about to be lost in many families will come to them."

Feng Xian paused and continued.

"As a reward for helping with the burial, those strong men will voluntarily give all they have in their lives to the Yun family. This is also the foundation of the Yun family's prosperity."

After listening to Feng Xian's brief introduction, Tang Zhen and Hai Bodong, who was chewing an apple, both had slightly distorted expressions. Why did it sound so strange? And why did the two sentences "hold a funeral for a lone strong man" and "voluntarily give away everything in his life" sound so inexplicably chilling?

"Master Feng Xian, this..." Tang Zhen opened his mouth and thought for a long time, then raised his broad hand and waved it gently, "Although my Burning Flame Valley has fallen into decline, it has a history of at least a thousand years. I have never heard of the existence of such a Yun family on the mainland?"

"Who knows."

Feng Xian picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The Yun family has only been around for less than ten years, but all the signs show that this family has at least hundreds of years of history. According to them, it just hasn't been revealed to the public before."

"In the past, many forces doubted the authenticity of the Yun family's past, but later many forces came forward to testify that the Yun family had indeed existed a long time ago, and that the Yun family had confirmed that there was at least one Dousheng-level strongman in charge. So far, these invited forces can only believe it for the time being."

After listening to Feng Xian's words, Tang Zhen frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Putting aside the doubts in Tang Zhen’s heart, as time went on, more and more people were led into the hall by the Yun family servants, and Feng Xian also saw many old acquaintances among them.

The master of Huangquan Pavilion, Venerable Huangquan, the master of Wanjian Pavilion, Venerable Jian, and the master of Fenglei Pavilion, Venerable Lei, all came to Feng Xian's table, exchanged greetings, and then sat down. Since the Yun family hadn't arranged specific seats for them, they naturally sat next to their old acquaintances.

After sitting down, Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Jian didn't say much. The entire Zhongzhou continent knew that Yao Chen had broken through to the semi-saint level, which meant that Xingyun Pavilion was no longer on the same level as their other three pavilions.

If it was Yao Chen who was here, with his bad personality, he would have mocked the other three one by one, but fortunately Feng Xian's personality was not as bad as Yao Chen's. She still treated the other three the same way as before, and her temper had even improved a lot, which made the three of them feel relieved.

"Oh, right, Venerable Feng." During the conversation, Venerable Lei suddenly thought of something and looked at Feng Xian and asked, "A few days ago, Fenghuang came to Fenglei Pavilion to inquire about Qing'er's whereabouts. I couldn't delay and pointed to Xingyun Pavilion. May I ask what happened later?"

Venerable Lei's question was quite awkward, as it was tantamount to selling out Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er. Even if Feng Xian pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would be too embarrassed to talk back.

"Don't worry about it. The matter has been resolved. Instead, I want to thank you for bringing Fenghuangzhi to Xingyun Pavilion."

Feng Xian said softly, "The person who is speaking, Phoenix, a Dou Sheng, asked where his niece is. Both his strength and reasons are sufficient. What can I do if you don't tell me? On the contrary, why don't you tell me?"

Moreover, as luck would have it, if Phoenix had not arrived at the last minute that day, Xingyun Pavilion might have really been destroyed. If Lei Zun had been more loyal and delayed a little longer, he might not have made it. Moreover, although Phoenix was angry in the end, it finally accepted the fact. With Phoenix's mediation, Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er did not have to worry about being discovered by the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan as before.

It’s really interesting to think about it. Whether some things are good or bad is not up to humans to decide.

"That's good."

Venerable Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment a pleasant voice came from behind Feng Xian.

"Feng Xian!"

This sound.

Feng Xian was stunned. She turned around and saw a woman who looked like a young and beautiful girl but had the temperament of an old veteran running towards her in a hurry.

The current leader of the Hua Clan, Hua Yu, was also one of the women who was deceived by Yao Chen a long time ago.

"Where's Yao Chen? She didn't come?"

Hua Yu came to Feng Xian and asked directly. Feng Xian came back to her senses and said lightly.

"She is busy and is staying in Xingyun Pavilion."

"Ah? Why is that? I came all the way here to see her!"

Hua Yu pouted with a look of dissatisfaction. Just looking at her cute appearance, if you didn't know it in advance, who would believe that this was an old man over 70 years old?

"Haha~ That female gangster owes such a huge debt of love that I'm afraid she won't even have time to hide from you."

A charming and mature voice echoed from behind Hua Yu, and Cao Ying, who was chatting with Xiao Yixian and others, suddenly stood up.

"Teacher! You are here too?"

That’s right, the person who just spoke was Cao Ying’s teacher, Xuan Yi, one of the three giants of Danta.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You're not going to come back after going to Xingyun Pavilion?"

Xuan Yi came in front of Cao Ying and pinched Cao Ying's cheek with some dissatisfaction. Cao Ying responded weakly.

"I'm a little busy lately, aren't you?"

"Elder Xuanyi, long time no see."

The Little Medical Fairy also stood up and greeted Xuanyi. Xuanyi glanced at her and smiled slightly.

"Long time no see, how are you feeling?"

"Thank you for your concern. My condition has been very stable recently and I have not shown any symptoms of relapse."

The Little Medical Fairy chuckled and nodded in response, then Xuan Yi sat down next to Cao Ying and asked about her recent situation. Hua Yu picked up Hai Bodong, who was eating an apple next to Feng Xian, and placed him on the chair next to him.

"Excuse me, little one, let's talk about something."

After saying that, he approached Feng Xian and started asking her about Yao Chen. Hai Bodong, who was called a kid, was embarrassed and angry, but had no place to vent.

There was no way. Hai Bodong could truly feel that Hua Yu in front of him was much stronger than himself. To put it bluntly, she could crush him to death with just one hand.

What can I do? Just bear with it.

Hai Bodong angrily vented his anger on the apple in his hand. As time went on, more and more people entered the hall and looked for a place to sit. Gu Qinghan also saw a few familiar faces among those people. They were all from various forces that were present when they fought for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit that day.

Gu Qinghan glanced at the entire hall again. The Burning Flame Valley, the Flower Sect, the Dan Tower, the Four Square Pavilion, and other small and medium-sized forces were all gathered here, almost covering eight or nine out of ten forces in the entire Zhongzhou. How could the Yun family have such a strong appeal? What was their identity?

However, Gu Qinghan had misunderstood. In terms of the appeal of the Yun family itself, it was not that serious. However, the various forces invited by the Yun family were themselves a big enough publicity. Even if they did not consider the Yun family's face, various forces would be invited here with the intention of making friends with other forces. To put it bluntly, the Yun family played more of a platform role.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon in a blink of an eye. The table was filled with banquets. Regardless of what others were doing, Hai Bodong had already started eating as if no one was around.

Which of these people who were invited here came here for dinner? The food on the table was just a decoration in their eyes, but Hai Bodong didn't have so many thoughts. He was a lonely person in Zhongzhou, and it was not his turn to make connections. He might as well eat something to kill time.

Amid the bustling atmosphere in the hall, a person walked up to the high platform in front, causing everyone to quiet down and look at her.

The eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yunying.

Yunying glanced at the venue, smiled, and spoke in a high voice.

"I am Yun Ying, the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Many of you present here should know me."

"First of all, I welcome you all to come here to honor the Yun family. On behalf of the Yun family, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you all."

Yunying bowed deeply to the audience, then stood up and continued.

"According to the original plan, the auction will begin here after noon, but I have a close friend who wants to discuss something with you. I may have to waste a little of your time, so please forgive me."

After saying that, Yunying waved to the audience, and then, in the puzzled gazes of everyone, she walked up to the stage alone, facing the big shots from various forces in Zhongzhou below the stage. Xiao Yixian and others were also stunned when they saw the people on the stage.

Xiao Yan? What was he doing standing there?

Not only them, but also those forces that had received favors from Xiao Yan when they were fighting for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit recognized him. In their hearts, they still had a good impression of the loyal young man.

Xiao Yan also noticed Xiao Yixian and the others in the audience, then he withdrew his gaze and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant voice.

"I'm very sorry to waste everyone's time. Many of you here should already know me. I am the second disciple of Xingyun Pavilion Yaochen, Xiao Yan."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished introducing himself, there was a burst of whispers from the audience.

"He is Yao Chen's disciple? Isn't Han Feng Yao Chen's disciple?"

"You are so stupid, can't I accept two disciples?"

"I heard that this Xiao Yan is no ordinary person. It seems that he was the champion of Danta two years ago."

"I've heard that too. It seems that he saved a lot of young people from alchemy families during the competition. His reputation is surprisingly high."

"And he single-handedly fought back the Soul Palace's general attack. His strength is quite formidable!"

Listening to everyone whispering to each other, Hua Yu, who was chatting about Yao Chen with Feng Xian, looked towards the stage with a slightly frivolous frown.

Is he Yao Chen’s second disciple?

"Dad, look, it's Xiao Yan!"

Tang Huoer grabbed Tang Zhen's clothes, and Tang Zhen frowned slightly, not understanding what Xiao Yan was up to.

Venerable Lei also frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan on the stage. Because of Feng Qing'er, he didn't have a very good impression of Xiao Yan the first time he met him. But as Xiao Yan's actions time and time again made Venerable Lei vaguely feel that Xiao Yan was the kind of person who could accomplish great things.

And this time, perhaps this is the big thing that Xiao Yan wants to do.

Xiao Yan on the stage took a deep breath, and then spoke with seriousness in his eyes.

"I will not beat around the bush. I will directly state the reason why I am standing on this stage." Xiao Yan extended his hand to Yun Ying beside him and said loudly, "Today, Xiao Yan proposes to create an alliance covering the entire Zhongzhou with the Yun family as the foundation. This is for one purpose only."

Xiao Yan frowned, and amidst everyone's shocked gazes, his extremely firm voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Practice the right path and the world will be united!"

Chapter 720 Three Years

The Yunyu Sect is a lewd and weird sect that cultivates meat cauldrons to improve its strength.

The so-called meat cauldron is made by selecting talented girls, giving them cultivation techniques, letting them practice hard for more than ten years, and then using the Yunyu Sect's unique method of intercourse to absorb the fighting spirit in their bodies.

Of course, this kind of martial art is too overbearing, and women whose fighting spirit is absorbed by it will often die of old age within ten days.

The entire sect did not train any disciples, and the Yunyu Sect recruited girls with outstanding talents only to support the three old demons, the Sky Scorpion, the Earth Scorpion, and the Human Scorpion.

Although this sect's actions are evil and despised by people, the three old demons are quite clear about the bottom line of other sects and never cross the line on their own initiative, and are not provoked by Yunyu Zhong. Although other sects do not care about Yunyu Sect's actions, they just can't stand it. They have no reason and no need to take the initiative to attack Yunyu Sect, and Yunyu Sect has been able to survive on the Zhongzhou Continent.

However, that was three years ago.

In the southern region of Zhongzhou, in a vast jungle, three black shadows were rapidly shuttling back and forth in the jungle. Upon closer inspection, they were the three old demons from the Yunyu Sect, Sky Scorpion, Earth Scorpion and Human Scorpion. Looking at the panicked looks on their faces and looking behind them from time to time, it was obvious that they were running away from something.

"Damn it! These guys are chasing us endlessly!"
