HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
139 - Abandonment

The TongTian Temple which was part of the Thousand Swords Palace became the opening place of the Eternal Alliance Conference.


The location has a very large courtyard and the temple itself is truly magnificent. A place that is honestly far from the shadow of people all this time.


If judging from the main strength of the White Stream in the Upper Cultivation Realm, then these five sects were at the very forefront of the ranks.


The Cloud Sea Sect that took the lead, was followed by the Thousand Sword Palace, the Heaven Flower Sect, the Sacred Star Tower and lastly the Heavenly Light Valley.


Among the five colleges, the Cloud Sea Sect could be said to be the most extensive and complete, more comprehensive. They had each of them different specialist cultivators from the Seven Summits of the Sacred Mountain.


The Thousand Swords Palace itself puts more guidance towards the flow of thought, obedience and leaning towards self-control.


The Heaven Flower Sect was more unique in that it was filled only by women and had strict rules. One of them is the lack of them relating to the world.


The Sacred Star Tower was the opposite of the Heaven Flower Sect. They are filled with people who have a lot to do with the world. They lean toward the Daoist and are good at divining.


The Holy Star Tower was undoubtedly the richest, it was even they who spent the most money every Eternal Alliance Conference held.


The Valley of Heavenly Light itself was a college that also had a lot to do with the world, only that their strength and techniques were unclear. Yet despite this, they were recognized to be one of the greatest of the Upper Cultivation Realm.


Aside from those five sects, there were countless small and medium-sized sects. They gathered at this place to attend the Conference of the Eternal Alliance. It was likely that the overall number of people gathered could reach ten thousand or even more.


Not all of them will participate in this conference. Each Elder, could only send one disciple as their participant. Others certainly come to watch and support their brothers and sisters.


When viewed from above, those cultivators stood in a neat array.


The Cloud Sea Sect has a distinctive red dress with a cloud pattern. The disciples of the Thousand Swords Palace in white. Heaven Flower Sect with light purple color and Holy Star Tower with orange-white color.


The other sects had their own distinctive colors. There are the same, but different shades and dark colors that they use.


From the top was seen a colorful flag that represented each sect and seemed to soar high in the open and fluttering with enthusiasm. The flags seemed to surround the stone platform on which the spectators were seated.


The stone platform looks like a pyramid when viewed from above and seems to surround the vast courtyard of TongTian Temple. It feels as if this temple is in a canyon, but with a lively atmosphere and full of charm.


The leaders of each sect had their own seats, it was the highest floor among the others. And because of the Cloud Sea Sect being the 'Leader' above the four sects-then it was the Great Elders of the sect who led the elders of the other sects to sit down.


From here that makes the atmosphere become very boisterous, surprising and full of big question marks!


As far as the Conference of the Eternal Alliance was held-only once did the Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect appear before the public. It was the first conference and it was a long time ago.


Nowow. The one who walked the very front and stole a lot of attention was Xiao Shuxiang. He represented the Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect until by himself Xiao Shuxiang inevitably had to lead the group of sect elders to sit on the highest floor.


Wang Zhao who was in the line of the participants involuntarily opened his mouth wide. So did Zhi Shu who was sitting on the bleachers. They had not expected that Xiao Shuxiang would become the leader of a group like this.


Liu Wei Lin who was in the line of participants seemed to open his fan and looked amazed at Xiao Shuxiang.


He stood in front of Wang Zhao and then said, "My Xiao Brother seems very relaxed. I think he's gonna be so nervous and make a mistake."


Lan Guan Zhi who was standing among the participants heard the young man's words beside him, but did not turn his head. He just looked straight ahead and noticed the figure of his good friend who was wrapped in white clothes while putting one of his hands behind his waist.


Lan Guan Zhi blinked. Xiao Shuxiang looked like a different figure. The aura around his good friend was much more dignified. It was unexpected that Xiao Shuxiang could behave like a leader.


Ling Qing Zhu himself represented one of the Elders of the Cloud Sea Sect and this meant that he was part of the conference leader group. He walked right behind Xiao Shuxiang.


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


Ling Qing Zhu's facial expression as well as her posture were still the same. He had an undeniable charm, capable of even stealing the attention of the entire men in this place. Lan Guan Zhi looked at Ling Qing Zhu for quite a while before returning to his good friend.


To Ling Qing Zhu, he was indeed as ordinary-but not so with the look in his eyes. The thin veiled beautiful girl looked straight at the back of her Guardian Guard with eyes that were hard to decipher.


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


Ever since meeting Xiao Shuxiang on the street this morning until now walking behind her--His Guardian had not greeted her at all.


Xiao Shuxiang usually always smiled kindly and began to fuss about asking a lot of trivial things, then began to curse while puffing his cheeks like a child and asking him not to be cold.


But right now the attitude of his Guardian Guard was very different. He was as if it was not Xiao Shuxiang that Ling Qing Zhu had known all along. The change in attitude from his overly conspicuous Guardian somehow made the feeling uncomfortable despite not being visible on Ling Qing Zhu's facial expression.


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


The white-haired beautiful girl only remained silent, even as she and the other sect elders stood while facing the conference attendees.


Ling Qing Zhu did not know that Xiao Shuxiang experienced some things this morning. He almost woke up late if not shaken by Wang Zhao, even he was in a state of headache and bathed in sweat.


Not to mention, the gold token that Xiao Shuxiang had been carrying all along was gone and actually triggered a huge panic in their room. Wang Zhao made a mess of the closet and the bed to look for the token.


The most unexpected and somewhat amusing was actually the pouch on the sleeve of Xiao Shuxiang's clothes that was torn to the point of making the gold token fall somewhere.


Wang Zhao was completely inexhaustible as to how a cultivator whom he greatly admired could have torn clothes, even torn them at an inopportune time. All his life, this was a first and unusual experience.


Fortunately, when he was panicking, Zhi Shu came and helped him find the gold token. The girl was also the first to think about the possibility of the token falling in the large market of Yixuan City.


Just as the three were about to depart, they were suddenly met by the old man who was the seller of Baozi and Tanghulu whom Xiao Shuxiang remembered.


The old man came carrying his gold token and it was only discovered that the figure of the seller Baozi was the Great Elder of the Thousand Sword Palace.


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


Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly as he recalled the extraordinary events that had befallen him this entire morning. He had not even greeted his White Cat as it still calmed down from shock and was likely to be kicked from the Thousand Swords Palace, accused of enemy spies and others if the gold token was not found.
