HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
172 - The Easy-to-See Choice - [Arc 2 - Dream Devil]

Yan Tianhen and the elders were at where Dao Fang An was. The old man was severely injured to the point of dying.


Not only Dao Fang An, but also Elder Liu Lang. The Shizun of Liu Wei Lin even had a thin breath and was almost without it if some disciples did not use their Qi to keep the heart beating of Elder Liu Lang.


Elder Wang Jing Li felt bad, "What came was the elder of the Demon Valley Sect?"


Several disciples shook their heads and one of them represented to answer. "We don't know, Elder. I myself saw there was a woman and a muscular man. Those who have come before to look for trouble,"


Elder Jiao Feng took a breath and said, "Big Elder Dao Fang An and Elder Liu Lang are the strongest cultivators. So how did the Great Elder Dao who was the sect leader be thoroughly defeated like this?"


Elder Chu Sheng Nan, the red veiled woman was seen examining Elder Dao Fang An's pulse. He said, "Is it possible that the strength of the members of the Demon Valley Sect has reached a point where they have already surpassed the strength of the Great Elders of the sect in general?"


"Elder Chu, you don't scare." Elder Xie Yanran looked pale-faced. If a person like Dao Fang An alone had been defeated to this extent, then how would their fate be?!


"The Devil Valley Sect has truly gone too far! I will never forgive them!" Elder Wang Jing Li growled. "I'm going to kill those fucking demons..!"


"Stop, Elder Wang." Elder Jiao Feng prevented Elder Wang Jing Li from leaving. He said, "Do you want to die silly by facing them alone? Don't be rash. We'll think of a way,"


"But--"


"Shizun," Yan Tianhen interrupted. "What Elder Jiao said was true. We can't attack just because we're based on emotion. Besides the enemy has hostages, we can't possibly sacrifice their lives."


"That's right. You guys should think clearly, not be able to make an attack carelessly."


The voice of the young man just now made Yan Tianhen and the others instantly turn their heads. They saw Xiao Shuxiang walking with Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu.


"Brother Xiao...." Yan Tianhen. He also gasped when he heard the exclamations of some of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.


"That's it..!"


"He's the guy..! Xiao Shuxiang's! He is the one the Demon Valley Sect wants!"


!?


Elder Jiao Feng, Elder Wang Jing Li and including the other elders were shocked to hear the exclamation. They stared at Xiao Shuxiang before hearing another voice from the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.


"The woman from the Demon Valley Sect was looking for Xiao Shuxiang. He wants our sect to hand him over to them in exchange for the lives of the hostages..!"


"I heard it too! They came looking for Xiao Shuxiang..!"


"What?!" Xie Yanran held his breath and seemed to be in disbelief with what he had just heard. "Why are they looking for this boy?!"


On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang frowned. He blinked and watched Xie Yanran from top to bottom. When compared to him, it was precisely Xie Yanran who looked like a 'Soner'.


The elder even had a body like that of a 9-year-old girl. Xiao Shuxiang would not even hesitate to call him 'The Chief Dwarf'.


One of the disciples from the Cloud Sea Sect replied. "Elder, Xiao Shuxiang once fought the people from the Demon Valley Sect and defeated them. Most likely, the enemy was unwilling to accept that defeat and took the decision to take revenge."


Lan Guan Zhi subconsciously held his breath and directly looked at his good friend. Xiao Shuxiang, who was aware of the gaze, turned his head and nodded slowly, as if he knew the answer to Lan Guan Zhi's eyes.


"Elder.." one of the disciples gulped and nervously said, "The Demon Valley Sect wants us to .... Hand over Xiao Shuxiang,"


Ling Qing Zhu flinched and spontaneously grabbed onto his Guardian Protector's wrist. His facial expression did not change, but the look in his eyes clearly meant that he would not hand this young man beside him to the Demon Valley Sect.


Xiao Shuxiang himself was jolted with his White Cat actions. He felt his wrist being grasped extremely firmly by Ling Qing Zhu. Faintly, a line of smiles was seen on his face.


Elder Wang Jing Li set his eyes on Xiao Shuxiang. At the same time, Lan Guan Zhi took a step and stood on her back to her good friend. It felt as if Lan Guan Zhi was in a position of being a shield for his good friend.


"No..." Elder Wang Jing Li said and firmly said. "If they want Xiao Shuxiang, do I have to just follow through? The safety of our sect does not depend on foreigners."


"If I say no, then no! I don't want anyone to sacrifice for this." Elder Wang Jing Li was almost inflamed, but then he could still calm himself down. He began to exhale, "Now you should focus on recovering your wounds. This thing, let the elders who--"


"I'm going to go."


!!!


Everyone was shocked to hear that voice, even Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu turned their heads towards a voice that was none other than Xiao Shuxiang.


Ling Qing Zhu, "Shuxiang -"


"If they want me, let me go." Xiao Shuxiang looked straight ahead and spoke without a tone, "They're in trouble with me, so let me finish it."


"Omong empty!" Elder Xie Yanran exclaimed. He stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "The Demon Valley Sect was already in trouble with us before you even came. No need to sacrifice yourself. It's not your responsibility,"


"Senior Xie is right," Elder Chu Sheng Nan opened his voice. The woman in red said, "Delivering you is not necessarily their will to release the hostages. They came from the Black Stream and were even worse. There's no guarantee those people hold their own words."


Ling Qing Zhu nodded in agreement.


Elder Wang Jing Li said, "This sect of the Demon Valley is unbelievable. Handing you over is tantamount to admitting that the Cloud Sea Sect is subject to them. I'll never take it."


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Elder Wang Jing Li and breathed softly. His expression has not changed. These elders were very obedient and determined to protect, even against strangers.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and calmly said. "Elder, as an influential figure in this sect. You are responsible for the safety of the disciples. The elder should know what decision is more appropriate,"


"Shuxiang," Ling Qing Zhu looked at his Guardian Protector and felt that Xiao Shuxiang really wanted to turn herself in. "We're looking for another way,"


"No time, White Cat." Xiao Shuxiang breathed softly and smiled. He held the girl's hand beside him and softly said. "I understand the way people like the Demon Valley Sect think. I'll be fine, for sure,"


"Too dangerous" Lan Guan Zhi said. He also did not want his best friend to sacrifice himself.


"Lan Zhi's. You know me very well. There's no way I can do something that makes myself unable to handle it. Naturally, I am not trifling the Demon Valley Sect. They are very strong, but that does not mean we have to be silent without giving a fight. Besides, I really want to beat them up right now."


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Elder Wang Jing Li and again said, "As an Elder who is in this difficult situation. The right choice is the one that is easily visible. You can't take responsibility for one person's life and ignore the lives of many,"


Yan Tianhen gasped, including Ling Qing Zhu, Lan Guan Zhi, Mo Huai and Wang Zhao. They saw the elders seem to be considering this.


"I can't accept this..!" Jian Yang was also at the place and heard Xiao Shuxiang say. He looked at his new friend and said, "How can you say that and as if your own life is worthless?! Why must you sacrifice, Brother Xiao...?!"


"Because I have an incredible destiny with problems." Xiao Shuxiang said, he slowly let go of Ling Qing Zhu's handrails and was not even noticed by his White Cat. "They just want me. So let me take care of this,"


Xiao Shuxiang's voice was too soft and soothing for a moment-Ling Qing Zhu did not realize that her handrails had been released. He only regained his senses when Xiao Shuxiang started walking away.


Ling Qing Zhu again restrained his Guardian Protector, "Shuxiang. Wait,"


"Don't go alone. We face it together," Lan Guan Zhi also held back her good friend's steps. His speech got a nod from Ling Qing Zhu.


"I won't let you take this big step alone either" Elder Xie Yanran voiced out. He felt that the pride of his sect would be at stake if he allowed Xiao Shuxiang to sacrifice himself.


"You are ...." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly. He exhaled and felt that he would not be able to teach the Demon Valley Sect members a lesson if they continued to be restrained here.


Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment before opening them. He also said, "All right. Good. You guys care about me too much and though I like it, but in the present-it's very disturbing."


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and with a serious facial expression, he said. "I have one plan,"
