HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
33 - Towards the Border of the Middle Sky Empire

Honestly, it felt a bit disappointed when that Xiao Shuxiang left just like that. But it seemed that it was not only the little prince who felt that way. Just look, even the female servants felt like they had lost the chance to get close to Xiao Shuxiang.


The news of the Alchemist Chef's arrival to the Middle Sun Emperor's palace spread so quickly that it arrived at Dai Chen's ears. It was just that the man was too late to be able to meet Xiao Shuxiang, including protecting Xiao Lu from seeing his extremely shameless and extremely dangerous sister-in-law.

Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li arrived at the Flower Rain Forest region that was still in the Middle Sky Empire. Both of them exhaled a sigh of relief because they did not move the wrong place.


Xiao Shuxiang, "The last time you put on that talisman paper... You got me into the lake. Good that you're a little developed now,"


Hu Li gently rubbed his chest, "I also did not expect to be able to take out the Moving Mirror more than twice. But I'm sorry for not being able to take you directly to the Empire's borders,"


"Mn, no problem. Now get the horse out. As much as possible we should be able to reduce the use of Qi. Haaah... I really have to leave without being able to loosen the seal on me, tsk."


"Good,"


Hu Li shook his hand and two mighty looking horses stood before him. The two horses were beasts that had inhabited the Universal Bracelet long enough and were truly powerful compared to ordinary horses in general.


Xiao Shuxiang walked towards one of the horses, he rubbed the body of the horse as he said. "You guys have been living inside my Semestal Bracelet for a long time and even ate a lot of my herbs. Now is the time to prove whether you can be useful or not. Take us to the borders of the imperial territory quickly,"


Hu Li boarded his horse and caught up with his Young Master Xiao. The horse they ride is the fastest runner and very impressive. Riding a horse is like flying at high speed.


Previously Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li had already known that for cultivators, it would only take them around 20 days to be able to get to the borders of the Central Sky Imperial Region by flying, they only needed about 20 days to be able to get to the borders of the Central Sky Imperial Region by flying, both wearing a sword and directly using Qi that flowed on the soles of the feet.


This 20-day distance was certainly not all cultivators could do it, let alone be known that the land on this continent did not support them. Moreover, the territory of the Central Sky Empire was vast. So this 20-day distance is really uncertain.


The horses that Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li were riding were truly extraordinary. In just half an hour, they had passed through the Flower Rainforest. Both had a great experience riding horses. This was different when they had once ridden the same beast.


Xiao Shuxiang had indeed left slower when compared to Ling Qing Zhu. His White Cat was gone by about four days to him, but with this horse-they still had a chance of catching up with the white-haired girl.


The problem was, the streets Ling Qing Zhu had taken were densely populated. Unlike those who choose forests, across rivers, even hilly roads full of rocks.


Hu Li, "Young Master Xiao..! You sure we won't enter the city? Miss Ling could not have been on the same path as us,"


"The city is too crowded, Hu Li. There's no way we can race horses this fast if we enter the city. You take it easy, the map of the Middle Continent I still remember clearly. We're on the right track,"


"But what about Miss Ling? Aren't you worried about her situation?"


Hu Li did not expect his Young Master to be able to come to think of such a possibility. He had always been escorting Xiao Shuxiang like a shadow, so he knew that Ling Qing Zhu was carrying a part of the Sun Killing Book. 


"Young Master, I know your concerns are well-founded. But if we get to the border first and it turns out that it's a trap, wouldn't this risk your life's safety?"


"Hu Li, don't I have you? There's you, so what should I be afraid of. And again, my present practice will not prevent me from pulling out the bones of others,"


Xiao Shuxiang spurred his horse faster. Even as the day began to turn night, he and Hu Li continued on their way. The horse they rode also had sharp eyesight and over-Hu Li sometimes let out his fox fire to light the way.


Some ferocious beasts were actually inside the forest passed by Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li. Among the wild beasts even passed by them, but because of the horse running Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li were very fast - the wild beasts were actually running in fear.


The path that Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li's horses were traveling on was very difficult. If the two horses are the usual type, then it is certain they will be hampered in this journey.


Although the horse stayed long in the world within the Universal Bracelet, it did not mean that the ground change would affect their speed.


Precisely the road they went through because of the difference in the land made the two horses become excited. Even in just 14 days, they had already managed to bring Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li to the borders of the Central Sky Imperial Region.


The conditions were right in the afternoon. Xiao Shuxiang started to descend, followed by Hu Li. He exhaled, "We should be able to go faster. It's my fault for always asking to rest,"


"Young Master Xiao, you don't talk like that. Your practice is at a low level, it is clear that your energy cannot bear it. I don't mind at all,"


Xiao Shuxiang touched his waist and the sound of bones rang out, he made Hu Li flinch. It feels so good when his spine and waist are making a sound. It's like a sign of the taste of the aches disappearing.


"Unbelievable, lifetime-this was the first time I was deterred on a horse. I don't feel like doing it anymore, huh... Aiya,"


Xiao Shuxiang started to gaze around. Not far in front of him, there are many tents that have different sizes. 


He also saw many people. The swords they carried and the uniform were proof that the people Xiao Shuxiang saw were cultivators.


"Young Master," Hu Li also saw it. "Is this really the right place?"


"Mn, I'm sure it's not wrong. But where is the Floating Island? You see anything?"


Hu Li shook his head, other than the tents and the warriors who were so busy it-there was nothing strange whatsoever in this place.


Xiao Shuxiang, "Put the two horses back in the Universal Bracelet and then come with me. Let's take a look at the situation there and get some information,"


"Okay, Young Master."
