HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
226 - Ruckus (3)

Liu Wei Lin gasped. Along with Ling Qing Zhu's words, there was a rumbling sound that seemed as if it was about to rain. The problem was, the clouds above were not naturally formed clouds, but Hei Lian.


On the other hand, Wang Zhao also saw him. He exclaimed, "Chairman Xie. Lower me..!"


Elder Xie Yanran gasped at Wang Zhao's sudden exclamation. He had also seen the phenomenon in the sky, but for now it was worth taking Wang Zhao to a safe place.


"You just shut up. I'll drop you when we get to Shin-n-" island"


"No, Elder Xie." Wang Zhao refused, "That cloud I saw first. Hey Lian can destroy this island and take out everyone on it. We need to stop it now!"


Wang Zhao said, "There's no need to worry about my safety. This life was no more precious than the lives of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect,"


Elder Xie Yanran looked down and saw Wang Zhao's so serious expression. His forehead was throbbing at the moment, but he was trying to lower Wang Zhao down until the young man's feet were back on the ground.


When Wang Zhao's feet finally touched the ground, the rumbling grew stronger and one drop of water began to fall.


One drop of water hit the leaf strand and instantly made it burn, this was a type of acid that was not only poisonous, but also contained fire.


!!!


Elder Xie Yanran immediately formed a hand seal and with his spiritual energy, he made a barrier for himself and Wang Zhao. Things were really bad as the rain slowly started to fall.


Wang Zhao held back the trembling all over his body, but it didn't take long until his legs were hard to support his weight. He also fell down with a bad breath.


"You why?!" Elder Xie Yanran was startled to see Wang Zhao. The expression of this young man looked very pale and seemed to have a great trauma.


Wang Zhao had trouble breathing, his heart beating unbearably. In addition, his head was suddenly dizzy and honestly-feeling fear was now growing in his heart.


Wang Zhao had seen this kind of situation. He watched with his own eyes, looking at his people who died from acid rain which not only melted the skin, but also burned the bones.


No one could stop Hei Lian back then. Wang Zhao could only escape with Elder Meng Hao Niang and if not for the help of others, they could not have been alive until now.


"Hey, Son..!" Elder Xie Yanran was startled as Wang Zhao was now unconscious. He became panicked, but could do nothing but protect himself and this young man from the fiery acid rain.


On the other hand, Ling Qing Zhu also protected himself and Liu Wei Lin from this rain. He and his new friends are looking for a better place. They avoid burning trees as much as possible due to acid rain.


"Miss Ling, can you hold on?!" Liu Wei Lin was worried that Ling Qing Zhu's spiritual energy was not enough to block this dangerous rain. He knew that the artificial barrier of this white haired beautiful girl was a technique that consumed a lot of spiritual energy.


?!


Liu Wei Lin gasped, the raindrops that hit the grass around him not only melted and burned, but also produced a poisonous mist.


"Nurse ..." Liu Wei Lin closed his fan and then said, "We should leave this place immediately. Miss Ling, sorry for the sassness."


Ling Qing Zhu gasped as Liu Wei Lin grabbed her waist and without warning directly carried her from the front. Fortunately, in this condition, he was still wise enough that what Liu Wei Lin did did not interfere with his artificial barrier.


"............. Where are we going?" Ling Qing Zhu made a calm voice. Whether he realized it or not, but his hand was holding onto the cloth of Liu Wei Lin's clothes as if holding on.


"Get out of the island, I'm not sure there's a safe place in this region other than outside. We need to stay away," Liu Wei Lin was of course tense with the atmosphere unexpectedly going to be extremely terrifying.


He sped up his lesion and without looking at Ling Qing Zhu, Liu Wei Lin made a sound. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience,"


"Mn, no problem." Ling Qing Zhu did not mind at all. It was because Liu Wei Lin was a reliable young man like Lan Guan Zhi and would not seek to profit from the hardships that occurred.


"Your friends," Ling Qing Zhu again made a sound even though his tone had not changed.


"The Elders are there, they will definitely protect everyone." Liu Wei Lin continued to dart and likely did not hear Elder Xie Yanran's call down there and at this moment they had passed by.


"Wei Lin ...!" Elder Xie Yanran froze with his mouth open. He then clucked in annoyance, "Murid sucks. How could he not listen to my call?!"


Elder Xie Yanran was frustrated, he was stuck in this place and even had to protect Wang Zhao. He was annoyed at the thunder above that chimed in his exclamation so that Liu Wei Lin could not hear, let alone this voice was only the voice of a daughter. I couldn't scream any louder.


"Wang Zhao..! Hey, Son! Wake up..!" Elder Xie Yanran used his legs to kick slowly at Wang Zhao's feet, he was trying to wake this young man up.


Really, the flaw was that the physique was still a child to the point that it was impossible for him to be able to lift Wang Zhao up, let alone while maintaining his artificial barrier.


"Wang Zhao..! Tsk, how is this ..." Elder Xie Yanran looked around and found nothing but the plants around him that were starting to melt and some of them were burning.

The other disciples saw clearly how their comrades had died with a loud screech before they finally caught fire. The scene was even too terrifying to be described.


The elders could only save half of the deepest region of their sect. The elders made a barrier from the combined spiritual energy, they protected the junior disciples of the sect.


Some disciples who were not within the scope of the spiritual barrier appeared to form their own barriers. The disciples were protecting their other comrades and some were bringing their friends to where the elders were.


"Young Master Lan..!" Yun Qiao Yue exclaimed and looked so worried. His hand stretched out and gently touched Lan Guan Zhi's right hand.


Yun Qiao Yue was currently together with the three disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect and in the barrier environment created by his two comrades. Lan Guan Zhi had saved himself when the fiery acid rain fell and this young man was injured.


"Yes God ... It's so bad, "a senior disciple saw the bloody back of Lan Guan Zhi's right hand and the skin of the young man's hand melted, as well as getting worse.


"..............." Lan Guan Zhi held back the ringisan, he punched the blood flow in his hands to resist the spread of the acid that apparently contained this poison. Merely, he could not make the heat in his hand disappear.


"Let Qiao Yue heal~" Yun Qiao Yue softly voiced and drained her spiritual energy which slowly began to envelop Lan Guan Zhi's right hand.


The disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect who was with Yun Qiao Yue looked tense. They could not hide the feeling of worry for Lan Guan Zhi's condition.


Yun Qiao Yue gasped, "This ...."


"Miss Yun, just stop it." Lan Guan Zhi voiced without a tone. He appreciated the kindness of this red-clothed girl, but from the looks-Yun Qiao Yue did not have the ability to heal and or just might-be-wounds on his hands that could not be healed.


"............. Sorry," Yun Qiao Yue bowed miserably. Water was pouring down his cheeks. Both of his hands firmly gripped his clothes. "Qiao Yue .... Making Young Master Lan unable to hold the sword anymore. Qiao Yue .... Apologize,"


Lan Guan Zhi was actually a bit jolted when he saw the girl in front of him who was suddenly crying, when it was not the hand of this girl that was injured. But now, he seemed to know the reason of Yun Qiao Yue's grief.


Lan Guan Zhi was a swordsman who used a sword more often with his right hand. Of course, getting a wound this severe on his hand would be a fatal thing. He certainly could not swing the sword anymore.


Merely, Lan Guan Zhi did not really feel slumped. He was as calm as he usually was, not at all anxious about his condition right now.


In this Upper Cultivation Realm, Lan Guan Zhi got quite a lot of attention and also guidance. He practiced using spiritual energy to control his sword without being touched, so he felt he could still fight.


"Miss Yun, don't worry." Lan Guan Zhi said calmly, "I'm fine."


Yun Qiao Yue gasped, she looked at Lan Guan Zhi and noticed the expression of this young man. There was no unpleasant feeling on the visible face, instead he felt warmth in the gaze of the eyes that were as calm as water.


"I need a cloth to bandage my hand," Lan Guan Zhi made a calm voice and heard that--Yun Qiao Yue without warning directly tore the cloth of her own clothes.


Lan Guan Zhi blinked, he had no chance to remind Yun Qiao Yue not to be as good as this. The girl before him had already acted first and wrapped her hands.


The disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect who were there and witnessed the actions of Yun Quai Yue who was so attentive to Lan Guan Zhi chose to turn their eyes elsewhere. No one wants to disturb this atmosphere.


Except maybe ...


!!!


Lan Guan Zhi and Yun Qiao Yue were shocked. The two of them spontaneously looked towards the red clouds that covered the sky. The loud noise that was so thunderous just now had made their hearts seem to have been torn down.


There was a considerable cavity and it was as if the red cloud had been hollowed out. The moonlight was visible, but it soon closed again. Lan Guan Zhi had no idea what was happening, but this acid rain suddenly stopped just like that before it started to fall again and this time it was getting more and more heavy.


A disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect who was together with Lan Guan Zhi appeared to be cursing. His facial expression looked bad, "Damn it! The barrier can't be held longer,"


"Navig ... Smoke from the fire around us contains toxins. I can barely stop this. I'm sorry to interrupt, but does anyone have an idea?" another Cloud Sea Sect disciple spoke up.


Yun Qiao Yue had a bad expression. He doesn't know what to do. He was not a barrier seal expert and he could not attack the clouds up there in a state that was sheltering under the shade of his partner's barrier.


Yun Qiao Yue knew very well, if attacking in this kind of condition - the barrier protecting him would be destroyed and it was the worst condition. He couldn't possibly take such a big risk.


"............. Hold on for a moment," Lan Guan Zhi thought of something else. If the clouds above them covered this entire place, it was certain that the 'it' people would act immediately.
