HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
317 - Gao Bao Tian

The foreign man whom Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy had met was no ordinary person. He is a mysterious figure and honestly there are many questions related to the man.


The problem was, there was no time to ask that because what was happening before them could not be prevented. Xiao Shuxiang watched as the body of this foreign man faded even more as if it was going to disappear in a moment.


The stranger smiled and said, "I've said what you should know. So you should remember to help me later, promise."


"Wait, how do I contact you?" Xiao Shuxiang asked as he did not know where this man lived.


"The time will surely come. See you,"


!!


The Mad Beggar Boy gasped as the body of the foreign man he saw completely disappeared. He also felt the fog around him getting thinner and the atmosphere returned to how it was. He was in the hall of the Black Lotus Palace and among the towering pillars.


"Shuxiang," the Mad Beggar Boy began to open his voice. He held onto his bamboo staff and said, "Now how do we go to the Lower Cultivation Realm?"


"We? You're the one who went there, not us. I'm definitely not going,"


"OK, okay. I went to the Lower Cultivation Realm, but how?" The Mad Beggar Boy said, "I can't go my own way, it'll take a very long time and we don't have that much time."


Xiao Shuxiang took a breath, "You should praise me for this one."


The Mad Beggar Boy blinked and had not even had a chance to react, he was suddenly startled by Xiao Shuxiang's flickering hand which could even bring out an adult-tall mirror, right before him.


"What about your supplies?" Xiao Shuxiang asked and answered the headband by the Crazy Beggar Boy. He took out his Spatial Ring and passed it to the man beside him.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "In it there are quite a lot of pills, you just use them. This thing should not be removed, Lan Guan Zhi gave it to me."


The Crazy Beggar Boy gasped, barely tripping on his own feet. His facial expression was pale with wide-eyed as he said, "What did you say just now?"


"Hurry in there and I'll try to get us to talk through this little friend of mine," Xiao Shuxiang simply used the look in his eyes and a small dot appeared in the air, it even formed a butterfly that the Crazy Beggar Boy had seen.


"Shuxiang, I don't think that's what you said. You clearly mentioned Lan'Er Gege's name,"


"That crazy Beggar, is that of great importance discussed now rather than this mission? Go awayl. You're gonna be wasting your time, right there..!"


"Shuxiang, don't push me. I'm not done with you yet, hey..! You have to give me an explanation about this. I can't accept that you and Lan'Er Gege have a romantic relationship."


"You're crazy, I'd rather make out with the White Cat than Lan Zhi. So now go,"


The Crazy Beggar Boy was pushed into the Moving Mirror by Xiao Shuxiang. The butterfly, which had previously been seen flying, entered the mirror first.


After the Mad Beggar Boy was gone, Xiao Shuxiang's moving mirror faded and disappeared. He was now alone in this place and started to pay attention to his surroundings.


Expressions change. He pulled out


Yinng xiong and started walking while holding his sword. His white clothes seemed to flutter as he stepped up.

Xiao Shuxiang did not have much trouble while in the dreamland landscape, the only anomaly he experienced was his encounter with a warrior figure named Kai. Moreover, he did not experience any strange occurrences anymore. He could even get out of that dreamland landscape quickly.


Xiao Shuxiang might not know that such a harmless situation could occur due to the role of the stranger he met. Not to mention, he met the Mad Beggar Boy who prevented him from seeing the illusion of the dreamland landscape any further.


On the other hand, the one not drawn into Qiao Nuan's dreamland landscape was Wang Zhao. The young man was currently in quite a difficult condition.


Wang Zhao had to fight with the Poisonous Thorn Monster, Gao Bao Tian whom he had accidentally met while walking in the hall of the Black Lotus Palace.


Wang Zhao was originally about to find a place to hide, but it was a pity that he was late. Gao Bao Tian first saw it and he could not escape from this problem.


"Good, very good. You don't look like a weak loser anymore." Gao Bao Tian smirked and again launched an attack.


Wang Zhao tried to dodge and the attack hit the pillar right behind him. He then launched an attack and attempted to target the opponent's vital parts.


"I am indeed a person like this," Wang Zhao held his sword force and charged back.


!!


"Prappy act..!" Gao Bao Tian glided the poisonous thorn that came from his clothes. It was the kind of heirloom that not even others would have.


Gao Bao Tian felt that the attack from his poisonous thorn had now killed Wang Zhao, moreover he clearly saw that the young man could not dodge the attack.


But let alone being killed, Wang Zhao even looked very healthy and was precisely capable of being comparable to his opponent.


Gao Bao Tian was shocked not to play when the poisonous thorns he had slid into were now dust in the hands of Wang Zhao who took out his protective wall.


The shock grew as Gao Bao Tian took a good look at Wang Zhao's protective wall. It was not an ordinary protective technique and he was very familiar with the aura of this protective technique.


"How is that possible?!" Gao Bao Tian widened his eyes. The technique that could turn any object into dust just from coming into contact with its red mist was none other than the technique that Hei Lian had mastered.


Gao Bao Tian growled, "I didn't look wrong. It was indeed a technique that only Hei Lian had, so how could you also bring out this technique?!"


"I also don't know how I can have this technique. But all I know is that with this I will be able to defeat you,"


"Hmph, you're too young to be so arrogant!"


!!!


Gao Bao Tian and Wang Zhao exchanged attacks where they were seen issuing their respective cultivation techniques. The two exchanged many moves and seemed to have no time off. This is probably because none of them have won yet.


"I know you are only under orders," Wang Zhao opened his voice while remaining cautious with every step he took.


Wang Zhao said, "Qiao Nuan won't do you any good. He is an evil person and only cares about himself. What do you expect from a guy like that?"


Wang Zhao actually had the ability to inflict serious injuries and even take the life of Gao Bao Tian, only that he was completely unwilling to do that.


He tried to restrain himself, feeling that he was able to change Gao Bao Tian's thinking by trying to talk to him. He wanted to give it a chance and pull this figure to his side, but it did not go so easily.


Gao Bao Tian laughed and said, "Do you want me to betray Miss Qiao Nuan just because of your words? He's a man who can promise me infinite power, so what can you give me?"


"living." Wang Zhao said in a serious tone, "What I promise is that you can live properly and you will be able to cultivate calmly. Demon Valley Sect Cultivators do not cultivate instantly, we always start little by little, step by step-"


"That's in the past..!" Gao Bao Tian interjected, "The way your father educated this place is wrong. The proof is our sect is cut off from the world. I can clearly see it,"


Gao Bao Tian sighed softly, "Haaah ... Wang Zhao's. People are competing to be the most powerful and what is your father doing? He had precisely made this sect have no relation whatsoever to world-"


"The Demon Valley Sect is indeed unable to relate to human life, Gao Bao Tian!"


"Then why are you even related to them, huh?!"


Wang Zhao flinched, but it was clear his eyes were so sharp. He knew that this person before him was not a greedy figure and that everyone in his sect was not a person who could bully others.


"The name of the Demon Valley Sect should be known by more people." Gao Bao Tian said, "We should be a very feared sect and there shouldn't even be another college standing other than the Demon Valley Sect."


Gao Bao Tian, "The previous sect leader could not realize this. He was unwilling to expand the territory and focused only on improving the practice without being able to be utilized. Miss Qiao Nuan obviously wanted more, so did I."


"And that's why you attacked other sects and even injured humans who had nothing to do with this?"


"Of course it's related. We still need those weak humans to spread information." Gao Bao Tian said, "Making them live intimidatedly would be far more interesting than helping them."


Wang Zhao was breathing slowly. His Demon Valley Sect did have a name that was honestly frightening. Many people and warriors felt disdain and fear because something changed, but in the past this sect was not like that at all.


"I need to do something. Gao Bao Tian is a strong person and he should be on our side," Wang Zhao breathed softly and said, "I can't kill him either because in any case ... He is part of the family. I have to find another way,"
