HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
143 - Investigation (2)

Ling Qing Zhu was so focused on watching the competing conference participants subvert the Demonic Beast. He actually learned a lot of things related to sword techniques.


The elders from the various sects seemed to enjoy seeing the fight of the participants. They were presented with great performances from every student participating in the conference and not the least of which was blatantly proud of their students.


At Zhi Shu's place, there was a man who appeared to cough twice and said, "Every swordsman comes from various places. It's good to calculate if there's such an incredible new cultivator in the eternal alliance conference this time,"


"I'm obviously taking Fang Yimin's master!"


"Then I hold Miss Zhang Xiao Lian!"


The word 'counting' meant by these cultivators was definitely not the true meaning of 'counting', but gambling. They bet for the preferred conference participants.


Besides learning sword techniques, these cultivators also needed other entertainment. Such bets are definitely more of an atmosphere and make this event even more festive.


Not only among the disciples who became spectators, even in the seats of the elders did not escape from such a thing. The betting item was not only gold and silver, but also Spirit Stone, a valuable cultivation technique and included the right to the training of disciples in other sects.


The elders did not bet on important items, such as heirlooms. But this was still very pleasant to follow and the elders who were quite old would play around with this sort of thing, they were fighting for disciples from promising sects.


Wang Haoran who was the Great Elder of the Sacred Star Tower bet for his disciple, Fang Yimin. So did Elder Jiao Feng who placed a bet for Zhang Xiao Lian. Not a single thing passed, even the spectators took part in placing their betting items.


"Elder Xiao? Do you have a choice, too?" Elder Qin Yun of the Heaven Flower Sect asked Xiao Shuxiang. The woman seemed very enthusiastic about something like this.


Xiao Shuxiang himself, despite only coming as the representative of Dao Fang An but apparently the other elders still called out to him respectfully.


Xiao Shuxiang was impressed and with a smile he said, "I installed 1000 Demonic Cores for the child I brought, Wang Zhao."


Elder Qing Yun was shocked. This move was too shocking for everyone. He felt that Xiao Shuxiang was a novice when it came to betting. Wang Zhao was a name they had never heard of before.


Elder Chen Duan Shan who heard the huge Xiao Shuxiang betting numbers asked, "Son? Are you sure you're gonna bet that much?"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and nodded slowly, he smiled. "Of course, I'm very confident. Besides, what's gonna pay for it is my White Cat,"


"Mn?" Ling Qing Zhu flinched as and looked at his Guardian Protector, "Shuxiang?"


"I don't bring much money. You help me this time, okay?" Xiao Shuxiang did not feel guilty at all. He made Ling Qing Zhu blink in disbelief.


"Not shameless,"


"White Cat, you are the daughter of a Sect Elder. You have a lot of money, so be nice and don't be stingy with your husband."


"..............." Ling Qing Zhu was breathing slowly. He really wanted to curse the young man beside him. This Guardian of his was truly no longer having shamed veins.


How could she be patched up blatantly by her own husband?! Even the elders did not seem to expect to hear such a remark.


Ling Qing Zhu exhaled. It was fortunate that Xiao Shuxiang was a handsome young man and was his Guardian. If only the one who spoke presumptuously and shamelessly to him was someone else-he would definitely kick him straight off this high floor.

Mo Huai looked extremely frightened, he closed his eyes tightly and had been crying ever since. The tree he was in again shook and it was as if someone was shaking it.


"PLEase..! Anyone help me..!" Mo Huai had nearly fallen down several times.


He was actually being chased by a Demonic Beast figure and had no choice but to climb a tree to save himself. He was simply unable to fight against this beast.


"I'm going to die. I'm really gonna die..." Mo Huai sobbed, "Young master Wang, you're where-waaa...!"


The tree that Mo Huai was in again shook violently. Demonic Beasts that were wolf-bodied, but with stone-like skin were constantly heading the tree trunk with all their might.


Wang Zhao himself was in another location, quite far away from Mo Huai's place. The young man was fighting fiercely against two Demonic Beasts at once. He was seen swinging his wooden sword and looked overwhelmed. His opponent's movements were too agile that it would be very dangerous if he missteps just a little.


Wang Zhao was actually not alone, there were cultivators from other sects who were also fighting against Demonic Beasts. It's just that they don't greet each other because of the focus on the opponent at hand.


The cultivator not too far away from Wang Zhao was a disciple of the Thousand Sword Palace, Yi Shisi. She was the girl who was the chosen disciple of Elder Murong Xun and had an awesome sword technique.


The Eternal Alliance Conference on the first day was only a few minutes away through the afternoon. Yi Shisi somehow ended up subverting the Demonic Beast and now started helping Wang Zhao.


They did not take long until they finally managed to defeat that Demonic Beast. Wang Zhao of course felt greatly relieved, he thanked her and began to continue his mission to search for Mo Huai's whereabouts.


The actions of Yi Shisi who helped Wang Zhao were seen by the Spirit Owl who was the overseer of this conference match.


The owl had a silver ring in its claws and as it flew, it, then the entire panorama in the animal's visibility will be seen also on the jade screen that is being witnessed by the elders and spectators outside the Light Portal.


One of the spectators among the Zhi Shu line and seemed to notice the movements of Yi Shisi was Xiao Han. The young man did not attend the conference, but it was no big deal.


Xiao Han who was a member of the disguised Demon Valley Sect seemed to be lip-splitting. The look in his eyes that contained hidden intentions was completely unconscious to anyone.


Perhaps those cultivators were focusing on watching the conference participants to the point of not realizing there was a lurking danger. While the elders were busy with various activities.


Xiao Han slightly looked up and stared towards the highest floor. The elder of the Thousand Sword Palace, the elder of the Heavenly Flower Sect, was, The Holy Star Tower Elder even the Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect looked calm and completely unshakable when he saw the appearance of the participants in that jade screen. Sometimes they chat lightly while eating dishes on the table.


Xiao Han smiled and snorted softly, "Right... Stay like that. You won't realize what we're gonna do to this place any minute."


Xiao Han looked back at the jade screen above him and noticed Yi Shisi who was none other than his partner. The disciple from the Thousand Sword Palace was none other than a member of the Demon Valley Sect.


The disguise of the two was perfect and to be honest every member of the Demon Valley Sect had high abilities. It was hard to say that they were just ordinary members because classes of the level of Xiao Han and Yi Shisi were more comparable to the Elders of the admired Holy Star Tower.
