193 - The Unexpected (5)

"Chairman Meng .... You ...."


"Do you understand now?" Elder Meng Hao Niang bandaged back his left hand and covered the painting. He could see the young man before him was extremely shocked.


"You .... The members of the Demon Valley Sect?" Xiao Shuxiang asked with a heavy breath. It was unbelievable that the woman before him had any relationship with the Demon Valley Sect.


Yi Wen and the Crazy Beggar Boy himself seemed to be jolted at Xiao Shuxiang's words just now. They were confused before, but now the two people started trying to understand what was going on.


Elder Meng Hao Niang explained, "The Demon Valley Sect actually has an isolated region of the world. Since the people who lived there focused on improving cultivation practices, then the place was hidden. Merely, some members decided to go to the Lower Cultivation Realm and create another Demon Valley Sect,"


Elder Meng Hao Niang said, "The sect of the Demon Valley formed more and more chaos. They gathered strength and returned to the Upper Cultivation Realm to stage a rebellion. Badly, the traitor turned out to be among us."


"I know the Demon Valley Sect has two headquarters. The other one was in the Lower Cultivation Realm, but wasn't the leader of this sect only one person? Why is there such a rebellion?"


!


Xiao Shuxiang and Meng Hao Niang immediately turned their heads when they heard the Crazy Beggar Boy say. The man gasped and nervously hugged his bamboo staff.


"I'm also curious about it," Yi Wen expressed his opinion. He also spoke up.


Elder Meng Hao Niang exhaled and set his gaze on Xiao Shuxiang back. He said, "There are two reasons this rebellion could happen. First, because the leader who is supposed to protect is doing dictatorial actions. Second, there are members who feel themselves much stronger to the point of not wanting to be ruled by a leader weaker than him. And this betrayal happened for the second reason,"


Xiao Shuxiang watched Elder Meng Hao Niang and asked, "You .... What is the leader of the former Demon Valley Sect?"


"No. I and the leader of the former Demon Valley Sect managed to escape from that place. We were also helped by an acquaintance and old bangka Dao who received us here."


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, as did the Mad Beggar Boy and Yi Wen.


"Chairman Meng, old man Dao that .... Grandpa Dao Fang An, right?" Xiao Shuxiang wanted to confirm it.


"Of course he is. Only the old rascal had a 'Dao' in front of his name," Elder Meng Hao Niang took his lab jug and started drinking his wine.


Yi Wen breathed slowly and carefully said, "You have the help of the great elder Dao. Does he know of your intention to attack the Demon Valley Sect?"


Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy also had the same question. They indeed needed to know the figure of the leader of the Demon Valley Sect in order to be able to think about whether they should really provide help or not.


Elder Meng Hao Niang looked at Yi Wen and then said, "He does know. He also wants to help and we also work together with the elders from the other big sects. The invitation we gave to cultivators of the Lower Cultivation Realm was also for this purpose."


!!


The Crazy Beggar Boy gasped. His facial expression changed, he held his breath. "So this .... Absolutely nothing to do with the appearance of the Sun Killer Book?"


"The problem," Elder Meng Hao Niang again said, "The emergence of the Sun Killer Book which is being talked about a lot lately .... It could ruin our plans. That heirloom can divide every sect, anyone would want the book."


Crazy Beggar Boy gulps, "Dwelling .... That's so gross. Some of the cultivators who received the invitation from this Upper Cultivation Realm carried a sheet from the book. The reason the members of the Demon Valley Sect made a mess at the Eternal Alliance Conference and even sent intruders to each sect was of course due to eyeing the sheet. This means ...."


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head for a moment and looked at the Mad Beggar Boy who was looking towards him. She seemed to know what the man with the hanging ghost-like makeup was thinking.


Xiao Shuxiang breathed softly and inwardly said, "That means .... At first the elders of every sect did not know that the cultivators they invited to study here brought along the sheets of the Sun Killer Book."


Xiao Shuxiang, "But since their sect was infiltrated, there will certainly be suspicion. 'The Devil Valley Sect cannot move for no apparent reason'. This speculation will lead them to one answer ..... 'The Sun Killing Book Sheet was brought by a cultivator from the Lower Cultivation Realm'."


!!!


"Shuxiang ...." The Mad Beggar Boy saw Xiao Shuxiang speechless and like he was thinking of something. The young man touched the bangs of his front hair.


Elder Meng Hao Niang came to his senses and then asked Xiao Shuxiang, "What are you thinking?"


Xiao Shuxiang did not reply, but instead asked the question in a serious tone. "Who is the leader of the former Demon Valley Sect and where is he now?"


"Aren't you very close to him?"


?!!


Xiao Shuxiang's eyes widened, he was shocked of course. His heart seemed to be beating hard. He looked at Elder Meng Hao Niang, "Who is Elder Meng referring to?"


"Brother Xiao ...." Yi Wen looked at Xiao Shuxiang, he was just as curious. The Crazy Beggar Boy also came waiting with a thumping feeling.


"Chairman Meng..! Say who?!" Xiao Shuxiang asked back.


"Wang Xuan Zhao."


Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times. He was astonished, "I don't know anyone by that name ...."


"You sure?" Elder Meng Hao Niang frowned.


"I'm not ...." Xiao Shuxiang was silent for a moment and was like starting to think about it. He muttered, "Wang Xuan Zhao .... Wang Xuan's .... Xuan Zhao's. Wang .... Zhao's? Wang Zhao?!"


"You said you didn't know him?"


"Chairman Meng, what is Wang Zhao?!" Xiao Shuxiang could not help his surprise now. He was completely shocked, let alone the expression of Elder Meng Hao Niang like not refuting the name he mentioned.


"Wang Zhao?!" Xiao Shuxiang repeated. He wants a definite answer.

"Help .... Thank goodness Shizun wasn't angry. Thought .... I will not survive," Yan Tianhen exhaled and appeared to rub his chest.


Wang Zhao who was walking beside him also seemed to be exhaling. He had faced Elder Wang Jing Li up close once and it was really stressful. It was like dealing with a man-eating bear.


Wang Zhao turned his head and looked at the all-white dressed young man wearing a forehead ribbon beside him. He smiled, "Young Master Lan .... You are very great. You can even speak without any nervousness in front of elder Wang Jing Li. I'm really amazed,"


Yan Tianhen nodded in agreement, "I'm also amazed. Brother Lan, you have great courage. I just don't dare to talk while looking at my Shizun,"


"Elder Wang is not a bad person. He won't eat you" Lan Guan Zhi said calmly.


"But .... We met him because I made a mistake," Yan Tianhen still felt his heartbeat had not returned to normal. "Really, I thought my heart had moved to my ear."


"I'm also pounding once," Wang Zhao asked Lan Guan Zhi. "Young Master Lan, have you never felt that way?"


"..............." Lan Guan Zhi was silent. He looked at Wang Zhao for a moment, but did not reply.


Yan Tianhen and Wang Zhao actually also wanted to hear Lan Guan Zhi convey his thoughts. It was because ever since leaving elder Wang Jing Li's place and all the way home, Lan Guan Zhi rarely spoke.


"Young Master Lan-"


"Either." Lan Guan Zhi interrupted as Yan Tianhen was about to speak. He made the two youths beside him flinch.


"Earlier ... What's?" Wang Zhao asked.


"Thumping,"


"really? When exactly is that?" Yan Tianhen was really curious about his new friend who was sparing to talk and always kept this dignified attitude.


Lan Guan Zhi's gaze slightly lowered. Her eyes are beautiful with handsome facial features that will never be forgotten. His voice was calm as he spoke.


".......... Ghost Festival. When I meet the ghost bride,"


!!


Yan Tianhen flinched, he frowned hearing the statement. But it was another case with Wang Zhao, the young man was startled and started to recall the events during the Ghost Festival.


Wang Zhao who remembered her started to nod and innocently said, "I was also pounding back then and was very surprised to see who the ghost that became my bride was. It was also an unusual and stressful experience,"


"Mn," Lan Guan Zhi nodded slowly. He remembered Wang Zhao was in one chest with Mo Huai back then.


This young man was brave and was not at all bothered by the crazy actions of the bridal ghosts. He also knew that Wang Zhao was even too innocent to be able to understand the strange story of Zhi Shu concerning him with his good friend.


"Host Festival?" Yan Tianhen frowned. He had no idea what was going on between these two young men beside him.


Wang Zhao also shared the experience he had when traveling to the Eternal Alliance Conference. It's just that when almost on a tense story, suddenly a cry was heard.


"Wang Zhao ....!"


Yan Tianhen flinched. He also heard the cry and turned back. Lan Guan Zhi heard it. They saw three people darting over and one of them was Xiao Shuxiang.
