HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
341 - Enemy's Aid

Lan Guan Zhi circulated a glance around and did not find Wang Zhao's figure, whereas previously the young man was with them.


He then noticed the frightened faces of the warriors in front of him. Either it was fear because they were discussing Wang Zhao, or it was just a hint of trauma from Xiao Shuxiang's actions.


Lan Guan Zhi breathed softly and then opened her voice, she asked in a toneless manner. "What do you guys know about Wang Zhao?"


One of the guards of the black lotus palace in a trembling voice began to reply. "I'm two years older than Wang Zhao, he ..."


Lan Guan Zhi's brows furrowed slightly at the reaction of the person who was still kneeling on the ground. He asked, "Why do you doubt? Just tell me,"


Liu Wei Lin frowned, he felt something strange about the man before him. Even the other members of the Demon Valley Sect had the same attitude. They seem to have trouble expressing things, as if something makes them afraid to say it.


Liu Wei Lin waved his fan and said, "No one will hurt you here. So tell me, what do you guys know about Wang Zhao?"


".............."


Lan Guan Zhi and Liu Wei Lin waited long enough. They know these people have a hard time revealing what they know. There is most likely a risk if it is revealed or the like. In fact, Lan Guan Zhi could see one of the Demon Valley Sect cultivators biting his lips firmly before starting to open his voice.


The young cultivator said, "Wang Zhao is actually ... A child born with two dantians. He called it a blessing from the sky, but ... It was precisely because of being born that way that he became so feared."


"Two dantian ..." Liu Wei Lin took a breath, "I know Wang Zhao has two dantians, but I didn't know he had them since birth. Couldn't a new dantian be formed when the child enters the appropriate age to cultivate?"


The young cultivator nodded, "Right. But Wang Zhao was different and because he was born with two dantians ... He could easily learn basic and other techniques, as well as achieve improvement at a very young age. He could be said to be born a genius,"


Another Demon Valley Sect cultivator spoke up even though his tone was somewhat trembling. He said, "The previous two sects were blinded by Wang Zhao's privilege of forgetting to impart moral education to his son. Probably because all this time ... Wang Zhao looks like a filial son, but ..."


"The sword that is sharpened to keep sharp without knowing its purpose there will only be a murderous weapon." Lan Guan Zhi closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. He was starting to be able to catch the direction of the conversation regarding Wang Zhao.


Lan Guan Zhi's words shocked everyone, including Liu Wei Lin. One of the Demon Valley Sect cultivators lowered his head and then said softly, "Wang Zhao is not what you guys think ... He won't spare our lives."


"The rant on Wang Zhao's dantian was made to withstand his strength. I don't know what he told you, but that's not true."


Another cultivator nodded and said, "I can tell that it is indeed the Sect Elder who is now seizing the leadership of Wang Zhao with the path of rebellion, but it was forced because no one believed him. The Sect Elders were now even referred to as villains,"


"Why didn't you guys help?" Liu Wei Lin opened his voice. He said, "If it was true Wang Zhao was such a person ... You should've finished him off when his dantian was made to have roots,"


"That's what the elders of the former sect would do, but in the last seconds ... Wang Zhao was instead taken away by Elder Meng Hao Niang. Wang Zhao was a ruthless leader, which was why he was called incompetent and a rebellion ensued."


"We couldn't do anything about it because back then Wang Zhao could easily finish our lives off. He had the Demon Breathing Technique and his Silent Slash was also very frightening. Even many fatalities that fall just to make his dantian can take root,"


Liu Wei Lin closed his fan abruptly. He stared intently at the Demon Valley Sect cultivator and then said, "If it's true what you said ... So why was it that when he studied at the Cloud Sea Sect, Wang Zhao had such a hard time holding a sword? He was even too timid to hold a knife, especially when asked to cut a fish. Why would he be?"


!!


"I-it's just a charade. Even Elder Meng Hao Niang was tricked by him. You have to believe,"


"Young Master Lan? How'this? Are their words worth believing?" Liu Wei Lin again waved his fan and said, "To be honest I did not expect Wang Zhao to have a face other than the one we saw all along. Moreover, Wang Zhao was like an innocent and foolish young man all along, he was also a coward. There's no way he's like these guys say,"


"................." Lan Guan Zhi was breathing slowly. His expression did not change, but he thought about these people's words and their reaction that was so frightened.


"Can't be ignored," Lan Guan Zhi opened his voice. He looked at Liu Wei Lin and said, "Stay here. I'll find Wang Zhao,"


?!


Liu Wei Lin flinched, but before he opened the voice-Lan Guan Zhi had already darted out first and left him inside the protector made of this spiritual energy along with the guards of the black lotus palace.

At this moment Wang Zhao himself seemed to dart on and tread several times on the roof of the building. He held tightly to the sword in his hand while looking straight ahead at his eyes.


Previously he had indeed been together with Lan Guan Zhi and fought against the guards of the Black Lotus Palace. But in the middle of the fight, he saw someone in a cloak and was now chasing after him.


Wang Zhao felt his throat hurt. He remembered that person's robe that he was familiar with, only that he wanted to believe that what he saw was someone else and not a figure that had made his life change.


Wang Zhao then turned his head to the side and then said slowly, "Thank you for accompanying me, Young Master Hu Li. I was actually anxious about not saying anything to mister Xiao and just left."


"No problem. Young Master Wang Zhao needn't be too formal," Hu Li became a guide for Wang Zhao. He could have an olfactory sense as well as sharp vision to be able to follow the figure Wang Zhao had seen before.


Hu Li set his foot on one of the roofs of the building before darting back. Up here, he could see how messed up the Demon Valley Sect was now. There were many cultivators from various sects who had come to avenge the deaths of their loved ones, and knew when this fight would end.


Hu Li turned his head for a moment towards Wang Zhao before saying softly, "I don't know how to say it ... But it seemed like those cultivators did not want to spare anyone from this sect,"


Wang Zhao closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "They are from the White Stream sect. I'm sure ... They will forgive people who are completely innocent. I've always hoped that the people who live here can get justice,"


"............." Hu Li watched Wang Zhao and saw the sad facial expression of this young man. I don't know what great burden this warm figure is bearing.


Wang Zhao said, "I ... Desperate to free them from all injustice. But what I've done has made them all suffer even more,"


Hu Li was breathing slowly, he was about to speak when an attack shot from the front. Lucky because he can still give a quick response so as to avoid stray attacks.


"Young Master Hu Li, are you okay?!" Wang Zhao was so worried. He retraced gently on one of the roofs of the building, right beside Hu Li and checked the condition of the white-haired youth.


"I'm fine," Hu Li tried to smile, but soon that expression turned serious when he saw that there was a woman standing not far in front of him.


Wang Zhao followed the direction of Hu Li's gaze and gasped to see who was currently displaying a form before him. That figure was part of the Ghost Valley Sect which meant that the help for the Demon Valley Sect was already here.
