HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
312 - Concealment (8)

Lan Guan Zhi and Hu Li were besieged. The two people were trapped in a four-way formation carried out by the members of the Demon Valley Sect.


A huge spiritual energy was seen being created at eight points and quickly united to form a net. One of the butterflies who was with Lan Guan Zhi and Hu Li tried to perch within the scope of spiritual energy, but had not had time for the insect to alight-its small body just exploded.


Hu Li involuntarily gulped, he half whispered. "We won't be able to get close, too dangerous."


"..............." Lan Guan Zhi looked up and noticed the net made of spiritual energy was getting down. On the other hand, Hu Li tried to fire his fox but the effort was futile.


The laughter of one of the Demon Valley Sect members echoed, "Now feel the consequences of being an intruder in this place..!"


That web of spiritual energy shot down rapidly, if it touched the skin or the human body - then all that was left was a piece of flesh.


The incident was shocking, even Hu Li and Lan Guan Zhi could not move to dodge this attack. They were completely trapped and were not given the chance to take any action.


Hu Li himself thought that he was going to die, but in those tense moments - a moving mirror appeared in the air and a shock wind was instantly created to shock everything.


The members of the Demon Valley Sect were hit by an unexpected attack, they bounced back as if driven by a strong pressure and because no one expected this - they had trouble maintaining a position.


The members of the Demon Valley Sect fell by hitting the objects around them, not the least of which collided with each other and sustained internal injuries.


Because of this incident, the spiritual net that almost killed Hu Li and Lan Guan Zhi disappeared. The two people looked at how a lesion appeared from inside the moving mirror and then attacked the members of the Demon Valley Sect.


"How are you doing Lan Zhi?" someone stepped beside Lan Guan Zhi.


This voice was very recognizable and indeed only one person called Lan Guan Zhi that way. Who else if not his best friend, Xiao Shuxiang.


Lan Guan Zhi himself will only answer when his eyes are directed at the woman who is being carried by this friend. Not to mention this woman was even wearing Xiao Shuxiang's outer robe.


"What are you doing?" Lan Guan Zhi asked without a tone. At the same time it was seen that Wang Zhao and Liu Wei Lin were fighting against the members of the Demon Valley Sect. They were assisted by Hu Li.


Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he was about to ask when he saw Lan Guan Zhi's eye gaze pointing at Chu Gu Xiang. He also knew the meaning of his good friend's question.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "I picked up this guy on the street. I thought he was useful, so I helped. It's just a hassle to keep holding her,"


Chu Gu Xiang was stunned to the point of not knowing what kind of expression to have upon hearing this young man's words. He did not think this person was capable of such talk right under his nose.


"Brother Xiao..!" Liu Wei Lin called out, "Can you and Young Master Lan not discuss your household here? We're in a mess right now,"


Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi started to help Liu Wei Lin, even they did not protest at what the young man had said earlier.


Wang Zhao and Hu Li also looked quite troubled, they had to face the members of the Demon Valley Sect in a place that was limited enough to simply move. Not to mention they could not expend too strong a power for fear that the stone walls and floors they inched into collapse.


The members of the Demon Valley Sect were also thinking the same thing, they had to withstand the force so that the walls around them would not fall. It would be a shame if they all died in the rubble of this fight.


Xiao Shuxiang was also having a bit of trouble. He could not use his strongest technique because among the opponents were his friends. His blood control was currently unstable as the 12 Star seal was still inside his body.


Even Xiao Shuxiang could not use the moving mirror to attack. This room was cramped and too many people, his friends could have been hit by the same attack if he was reckless to do that.


On the other hand, Liu Wei Lin, Hu Li and Lan Guan Zhi were also unable to give off the aura of their swordsmen. The influence of that aura was too vast for this place and it was possible that the auras of the three would collide with each other.


The members of the Demon Valley Sect were also unable to give off their auras for the same reason. This is the difficulty of fighting in a closed room let alone narrow like this.


No one benefited from the fight, all as if they were looking for a way to turn things around including Xiao Shuxiang. It was just that the increasingly disappearing butterfly proved that the young man had a problem with the limits of spiritual energy.


It was bad that Xiao Shuxiang was reckless to enter into the Universal Bracelet at this moment when the situation was running this way. He might gain strength again, but what if the moment came out and a slash directly aimed at his neck before he was even ready? Nope..! This risk is too dangerous.


He had once thought of putting his friends into the Universal Bracelet, but first he had to touch them. Another matter was that currently both of his hands were not free as it was carrying Chu Gu Xiang.


Xiao Shuxiang was impossible if he were to put this girl into the Universal Bracelet, it would look like he put fire into the oil.


Chu Gu Xiang was unbelievable and the world within his Universal Bracelet was full of resources. The impact would be extremely bad if Chu Gu Xiang were to utilize those resources.


"can't. I didn't completely cure this girl because she could have attacked us. I also couldn't possibly leave him because he was still useful to know the opponent's weakness and the storage of that part of the book."


Xiao Shuxiang dodged the attack from one of the Demon Valley Sect members and gave a kick. He also looked for a moment at Chu Gu Xiang who was holding on tightly to him.


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath, his eyes looking as if saying that after the girl carried him was no longer useful, then he would immediately finish her off.


Such thoughts were very clear in Xiao Shuxiang's eyes, it was just that no one saw this even his own friends, including Chu Gu Xiang. That moment was hidden and changed to a sharp gaze towards the opponent.


The fight was still going on and no one was aware that Xiao Shuxiang, Wang Zhao and the others were far away from the Thousand Sword Palace.


Yi Wen had just searched for Xiao Shuxiang's whereabouts when he visited his brother's room. The girl with hair along her neck was seen walking while asking some disciples of the Thousand Swords Palace.


"Did you see my brother Xiao?"


"N-no,"


"What about you?"


"I didn't see it either,"


Yi Wen sighed softly and walked back. He looked around and then shook his head, "Either where brother Xiao went. The Mad Beggar Boy was also absent and young master Lan was not in his room, either,"


"Yi Wen ..!" Zhi Shu called out to his friend while walking over.


"Have you found it?" Yi Wen asked as Zhi Shu was already in front of him.


Zhi Shu shook his head, "Absolutely not. Brother Xiao is not with Miss Ling either. I really don't know where else to look,"


Zhi Shu caught his breath and said, "Liu Wei Lin is not around, Hu Li and Wang Zhao are the same. I thought they were all in Mo Huai's room, but when I went there-Even Mo Huai went nowhere."


"Mo Huai was at the place where the disciples were cleaning clothes, he had a lot of work there."


"Then what now? Elder Chen had already left first with miss Ling and the others. I thought we were going with brother Xiao, but he's not even here."


Yi Wen gasped when he realized something. He turned his head towards Zhi Shu and then said, "Do you think it's possible that brother Xiao, Wang Zhao, and the others have already gone to the Demon Valley Sect?"


"That's impossible. It's risky if they leave without telling anyone!!" Zhi Shu suddenly flinched and then looked at Yi Wen, "Our Xiao Brother instead ..."


"He likes to take unexpected actions, especially if the Crazy Beggar Boy is with him. We may be too late,"


Yi Wen and Zhi Shu blinked at each other before then rushing off. Their expressions were very clear and could not be hidden. The premonition that Xiao Shuxiang brought Lan Guan Zhi, Wang Zhao, Liu Wei Lin, Hu Li and the Crazy Beggar Boy to the Demon Valley Sect must have been true. The proof is that their friends are not in this place.
