HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
111 - Concealment (2)

The Ceremonial Mistress never expected to be able to lose to a young man who looked so weak. He really did not accept this humiliation.


Xiao Shuxiang's own breath was shallow, he had forced himself upon wearing the Moving Mirror. The technique he actually could not use when the practice was as weak as this, the side effect of using the Moving Mirror was of course pain in some of his internal organs.


Xiao Shuxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Despite being in pain, in fact he did not reduce his strength when pressing on the body of the Ceremonial Lady on the floor, including when stabbing the head of this woman with his dagger.


"You better tell me where that part of the ancient book is. I already knew you had it. This is my commandment and also your last chance for forgiveness. So tell me quick,"


The Ceremonial Mistress groaned in pain as Xiao Shuxiang pulled the dagger that pierced her head. He was already halfway to becoming an immortal, but this foreign youth and the other cultivators had already ruined everything.


Holding back the groan of pain, the Ceremonial Mistress said. "Khhh, I .... I'll never say it! Y-You can kill me, but... Akh, you won't get the book sheet..!"


Madam Ceremony was certainly not stupid. Telling this young man was completely unfavorable to him. He would be killed if he said it and he would also be killed if he did not say it. Both options threatened his life.


Xiao Shuxiang was dark-faced, let alone this woman below him starting to laugh and not begging him for mercy at all.


Fresh blood came back out from the corner of Xiao Shuxiang's lips, "I can't hold this any longer. It seems like I have to end it even though I still want to skin and break every bone."


Xiao Shuxiang said coldly, "Winding like that won't allow you to break free."


The Ceremonial Madam gritted her teeth, she was simply unable to extract the energy she had absorbed from the corpses, including expelling her black Qi. His strength seemed to be sealed and this was all due to the flute piercing the backs of his hands.


The White Jade Flute emitted a faint silvery light and a thin blackish smoke as if absorbed into it. The Ceremonial Mistress felt that this flute was no ordinary weapon. He had already made a fatal mistake of not being careful.


"Damn it, compared to this young man, these people are much more dangerous. He doesn't seem to forgive me. I have to find another way," Madam Ceremony groaned in pain, she tried to talk.


"Ji-if you kill me. Y-you and your friends, won't be able to get out of this place. You will be in the realm of death forever!"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, but then grinned widely. "You can fool others, but you can't fool this Xiao Shuxiang. You think I don't know that you just lied, hm?"


Xiao Shuxiang pointed his dagger at the neck of the Ceremonial Mistress. The tip of the dagger touched the woman's skin and began to look a speck of fresh blood. The Madam of the Ceremony grimaced and the next second again groaned in pain.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Before you pray for others, you should pray for yourself. Because of your good fortune, you met me. It's just a pity, we're on a different path."


The dagger in Xiao Shuxiang's hand deepened the neck of the Ceremonial Mistress. He used his other hand and touched the woman's head. Xiao Shuxiang used the Spirit Tampering Spell to trace the memory of this woman and find out about the Sun Killing Book Sheet.


Xiao Shuxiang was actually not an expert in spirit matters, including seals. He himself learned the spell by accident while winning a jade slip from the auction in the Eastern Continent.


It had happened many years ago and somehow he could still remember the spell of the spirit tamer. Despite imposing himself, Xiao Shuxiang apparently managed to find out the location of the Sun Killing Book sheet that Madam Ceremony had.


Simultaneously as he began to release his grip from the head of the Ceremonial Mistress, Xiao Shuxiang's dagger deepened into the woman's neck. And either intentionally or not, but the moment Xiao Shuxiang pulled out his dagger-he cut some veins.


The Ceremonial Lady was wide-eyed, her voice was restrained and she no longer moved. Xiao Shuxiang started to stand up and used the woman's clothes to wash away the blood on his dagger.


"............."


Xiao Shuxiang's expression looked ordinary. His voice was calm, "When if you answer my simple question-you can die with a little pain. But unfortunately, you seem to want to be treated cruelly."


Xiao Shuxiang knew the Ceremonial Madam was still breathing at this moment. But for a while, he just stood still and seemed to wait for his opponent to die from blood loss.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, his facial features still pale and his internal organs were so sore at this moment. But he tried to endure the pain. The regeneration of his body was really very slow right now. There are many techniques that drain energy and hurt the internal organs if used forcibly. He really had to loosen his seal if he didn't want to continue like this.


Xiao Shuxiang kept back his dagger and then stood in front of the Ceremonial Mistress. He said, "I want to dismantle every organ in your body. But I remember that I was trying to be a good human being. So..."


Xiao Shuxiang lifted his left leg and with a sharp look he continued saying, "So I'll just crush your head."

Liu Wei Lin placed his foot gently on the ground. The corpses he faced one after another fell down without waking up again, while the ghostly children who were resisted by Lan Guan Zhi seemed to let out loud screams before starting to disappear.


On the other hand, Zhi Shu's ice bow slowly faded away. He exhaled because this fight was over. The atmosphere around him changed. It's just that, there were wounds on his arms and back.


Zhi Shu took out a small jade pot from his sleeves. As a girl with ties to the Peacock Stork Association and as well as one of Xiao Shuxiang's right hands, Zhi Shu had a stash of Dragon Breath Pills and several other good pills.


The wounds on Zhi Shu's arms and back gradually recovered as she ate a healing pill. He then approached Ling Qing Zhu who also turned out to have finished his fight.


"no need. I'm fine" Ling Qing Zhu said calmly. He did face a difficult opponent, but he did not suffer severe injuries.


Zhi Shu nodded slowly, and he invited Ling Qing Zhu to meet Lan Guan Zhi. The handsome young man in the bridal dress appeared to be re-sheathing his sword.


Wang Zhao himself was seen sighing in relief as he watched things begin to improve. Ever since that fight, he had been repeatedly protected by Liu Wei Lin and Lan Guan Zhi. Not a single corpse and spirit hurt him, Mo Huai who had previously rebelled had now calmed down even though he was still unconscious.


When viewed from above. The situation at the temple was completely chaotic. Many crates and corpses were scattered, all looking messy. The roof of the temple is no less sad. It was as if it had just been hit by a terrible storm.


Zhi Shu also noticed, he started to say. "What do we do with these bodies? We've come out of the anomaly, but these bodies don't disappear at all."


Liu Wei Lin could also sense that he and the others were no longer cooped up from the strange mist. The atmosphere around him was much more lively than before, even this gently blowing wind was extremely soothing.


Liu Wei Lin did not know this foreign girl, but she still responded. He replied calmly, "For this matter, let me handle it."


Zhi Shu raised next to his eyebrows, he was astonished. But when he witnessed how amazing the ability of the man with the red fan-he unwittingly opened his mouth.


Lan Guan Zhi, Ling Qing Zhu and Zhi Shu jumped back. The three of them gave space to Liu Wei Lin. They saw how the young man was using his fan and just a few moves, the corpses and coffins seemed to be thrown into the air.


!!


While still in the air, Liu Wei Lin put his fan back on and managed to put each corpse into the crate even though he had to make each chest occupied by two dead people.


Lan Guan Zhi who witnessed how admirable Liu Wei Lin's technique became aware of his good friend's state. He immediately rushed to check on the condition of his friend inside the temple.


".............."


Inside the temple, Lan Guan Zhi saw Xiao Shuxiang plucking out a White Jade Flute and started to stand up. His best friend was wearing a cloth to clean the flute and seemed not aware of his presence.


"Shuxiang" Lan Guan Zhi said softly. Her soft voice made her good friend turn her head immediately.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, he gazed towards the corpse of the Ceremonial Mistress before then rushing over to his good friend. Lan Guan Zhi was just about to see the body of the woman beside Xiao Shuxiang when her gaze was blocked.


"Lan'Er, what are you doing here?" Xiao Shuxiang stuffed his White Jade Flute into the Spatial Ring before holding onto his friend's shoulder.


"Shuxiang-"


"Come, we better get out. How are the bodies? Did you guys manage to handle it?" Xiao Shuxiang withdrew Lan Guan Zhi's hand and invited his good friend to leave the corpse of the Ceremonial Lady. It was obvious that Xiao Shuxiang was trying to keep Lan Guan Zhi away from seeing the corpse of the woman who was his opponent.


".............."


Lan Guan Zhi slightly frowned. The young man looked back, but the conscious Xiao Shuxiang immediately reached out.


Xiao Shuxiang touched his good friend's cheek and said, "You don't need to look there, you can just look at me. Let's get some food,"


"Shuxiang, this is the temple. The body should be buried immediately,"


"Let the temple attendants do it later. I don't want to linger in this place, let's find a place to rest."


".............." Lan Guan Zhi was just about to speak as he took a good look at the look on his best friend's face. It was obvious that Xiao Shuxiang was enduring the pain. This friend of his might have been too imposing.


Lan Guan Zhi then held onto Xiao Shuxiang's arm and guided his good friend's path. Due to the color of their clothes, the bloodstains became disguised. But if he paid close attention, the tip of Xiao Shuxiang's clothes was much wetter and darker than Lan Guan Zhi's clothes.


Not only that, but Xiao Shuxiang's shoes even left a trail of blood as long as he walked. Not to mention, half of his long hair was also wet and dripping drops of dark red color. It was clearly blood, but not blood.


Lan Guan Zhi actually smelled the blood, but he thought that it was from the wound of his good friend. He shouldn't have let this young man by his side face the Ceremonial Madam alone.


Lan Guan Zhi offered help. "Do you want me to carry?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched and immediately turned his head, he smiled bitterly. "You're very attentive to LanLan, but I don't want to. Zhi Shu will say something that is not if you see you holding me. It's gonna look really embarrassing anyway,"
