HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
343 - Qiao Nuan (5)

Not only did Elder Chen Duan Shan of the Thousand Swords Palace come to the territory of the Demon Valley Sect, but also Elder Jing Yufeng, Elder Murong Xun and Elder Zhang Shan.


On the other hand, the elders from the Heaven Flower Sect also came. They were Grand Elder Huan Gui Fei, Elder Zhao Linying and Elder Qin Yun.


Then another favor came after that and they were Grand Elder Wang Haoran, Elder Shen Shilin, and Chan Jia Zhan of the Sacred Star Tower.


While on the other hand, the cultivators from the Cloud Sea Sect who came were Great Elder Dao Fang An, Elder Jiao Feng, Elder Wang Jing Li, Elder Chu Sheng Nan, Elder Chu Feng, and Elder Jing Shang Yu.


As for from the Heavenly Light Valley Sect there was Elder Shang Quan Yi, Elder Zhao Tiezhu and the two other elders who were the strongest figures in their sect.


These five Great Sects gathered together and each brought along talented senior disciples. The Demon Valley Sect region seemed to have been surrounded from various directions, there was clearly no gap to escape.


Some of the cultivators from the big sects were still being humane by not killing the cloud people from the Demon Valley Sect, though, even Elder Chu Sheng Nan of the Cloud Sea Sect seemed to send some of his disciples to help the townspeople and take them to a safer place.


The location of the elders of the five great sects was in different places and Xiao Shuxiang only saw Elder Chu Sheng Nan now. He and Ling Qing Zhu also approached the woman dressed in red and veiled.


"Sir..!"


Elder Chu Sheng Nan turned his head when he heard an exclamation. He gasped when he saw two cultivators coming closer to him. He knew both of these figures.


"You ... What are you doing in this place?" Elder Chu Sheng Nan opened his voice, he noticed Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu who seemed to have experienced many difficult fights already.


"Didn't you have to study in the Thousand Swords Palace, why just ..." Elder Chu Sheng Nan shook his head and then said without a tone, "Did Elder Chen Duan Shan force you into this place?"


"Not at all, it's my own wish." Xiao Shuxiang watched his surroundings and asked, "What are the Elders doing?"


"As seen, I treated the wounded and took them to safety. Someone has to take on this role or else ... There are many innocent people who will be victims."


".............." Xiao Shuxiang looked at the disciples who were under the guidance of Elder Chu Sheng Nan seemed to be so diligent in saving the injured citizens of the city. Among those disciples was also the figure of Yun Qiao Yue.


"White Cat," Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and looked at the white-haired girl beside him. He said, "You stay here and help the elder. These people need a lot more help,"


Ling Qing Zhu could not say anything if his Guardian Master had already said so. He himself also felt that Elder Chu Sheng Nan and his disciples needed more help than others.


Ling Qing Zhu looked at Xiao Shuxiang and then nodded slowly. He said, "You have to be careful."


"Mn, sure. You take care of yourself, too" Xiao Shuxiang smiled and said, "Chicken meat dumplings after this war is over."


!!


Ling Qing Zhu blinked before then snorting. He saw Xiao Shuxiang start to dart away and leave himself with Elder Chu Sheng Nan. Even in a crucial moment like this, his Guardian Guardian could without a doubt discuss about food.


"Chu Chief ..." Ling Qing Zhu breathed softly and tonelessly asked, "When will this war end?"


Elder Chu Sheng Nan gasped, he followed the direction of the blue-eyed girl beside him and then said, "This war is based on hatred. As long as the hatred remains, the war will not end."


"Then how do you break that hate?"


".............." Elder Chu Sheng Nan looked at the veiled girl beside him and then breathed softly. He said, "It is great to forgive others ... Able to break the chain of hatred. But not everyone has this greatness of heart, even for those who have lived this flow of life."


Elder Chu Sheng Nan walked away and was then overtaken by Ling Qing Zhu. They saved the people from the region of the Demon Valley Sect who were injured as a result of the impact of the fight that occurred. Even occasionally they had to fend off stray attacks in order to protect these people.

Xiao Shuxiang was currently heading to the eastern region of the Demon Valley Sect. It was just that in the middle of the journey, he was struck with a flash of light from the sky.


!!


There were several other lights appearing and darting down at various locations. Xiao Shuxiang did not know what the light was, but the explosion that followed the presence of the light proved that it was not a good sign.


He was just about to head towards one of the dimples of light when a voice sounded, as if coming from inside his head. This was a voice he knew very well.


"Shuxiang, do you hear me?!"


"Crazy Beggar, what's wrong?"


"What did you say?! I'm in trouble here. How about you there?! Hurry on! I can't possibly kill Qiao Nuan alone, right?"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, "You almost finished him off?!"


Xiao Shuxiang turned around and changed the direction of the location where he was leaving. He said, "Wait a minute. I'm going to Qiao Nuan's place now,"


"What! You're just leaving?! Geez, you're just troubling me."


"I've already defeated him know," Xiao Shuxiang clucked. He said, "You've been around too long, so I've left that woman to someone else."


"You're too much of a whim. Hurry on!"


"Wait, goddamn it." Xiao Shuxiang sped up his tutoring. His current goal was to look for Chu Gu Xiang who had previously brought Qiao Nuan.


It's not hard to find that woman. This was because Shuxiang had once forced Qiao Nuan to swallow his homemade pill. A pill that made him know the whereabouts of the woman.


Chu Gu Xiang had actually brought Qiao Nuan to a place where he suffered a lot of torment. It was a Thousand Wound Pool that was barely shaped as a result of ever blasting hot lava.


Qiao Nuan was seen bound by the whip rope of Chu Gu Xiang and in a condition filled with injuries. Blood was still flowing on his forehead.


"I really don't like being in this place anymore, but yeah ... My debt to you must be paid." Chu Gu Xiang raised another whip by using his spiritual energy and lashed out at Qiao Nuan mercilessly.


"It's inconceivable, isn't it?" Chu Gu Xiang smiled and said, "I was the one in your position before. And what did you say at the time? 'No matter what you're gonna do to him, but don't let him die too easily.' Ah ... Jiejie, you've made it."


Chu Gu Xiang waved his whip and growled in annoyance, "You never considered me a brother, did you? Now I'm going to do the same. I won't let you die so easily,"


The sound of a whip slap from Chu Gu Xiang was merciless. He ripped Qiao Nuan's skin apart and returned to shed blood. Worse, Qiao Nuan could neither retaliate nor protect himself at this time.


The only thing Qiao Nuan wanted was to die. If Chu Gu Xiang were to finish him off without killing his other body, then he would be able to come back to life with a power that could reverse this state. He could avenge Chu Gu Xiang and make women regret his birth.


"Ha ha ha," Qiao Nuan suddenly laughed and made Chu Gu Xiang surprised. He grinned and then said, "You won't let me die so easily? Ah ... Chu Gu Xiang's. You're so stupid,"


!!


Qiao Nuan's voice raspy as he said, "I made the mistake of not directly killing you, and see? You are now free. But what is this? You want to make the same mistake I did? Hah, you will definitely regret it ... If you let your enemy live."


Chu Gu Xiang clenched his hands together and growled stifledly. Despite being severely injured, this woman who was bound in front of him could still laugh and sneer at him. He really hated Qiao Nuan.


"You don't seem to know your current position," Chu Gu Xiang again waved his whip with great force. He made Qiao Nuan scream, but unexpectedly after that roaring scream - Qiao Nuan laughed instead.


"You!" chu Gu Xiang's whip rope was in the hot lava. He deliberately did so and was about to whip hard at Qiao Nuan when something suddenly shot out from behind his body.


!!!


The rope that bound Qiao Nuan's body was cut off and a hand immediately gripped the woman's neck firmly. Chu Gu Xiang was surprised, especially when he found out that the one who darted into here was Xiao Shuxiang.


Aakhs!


There was no need to doubt Xiao Shuxiang's speed when he was targeting something. He was able to come here with the help of his Moving Mirror and right now, even the Mad Beggar Boy was ready with his final attack at the Lower Cultivation Realm.


"Just one question. Where is the book?" Xiao Shuxiang asked without a tone and made Qiao Nuan stare full of anger at him.


"I won't tell you,"


"I don't need you then." Xiao Shuxiang took out his sword along with the voice of the Mad Beggar Boy who seemed to be inside his head.


!!!


Chu Gu Xiang was surprised instead of playing, his eyes widened as he watched Xiao Shuxiang directly slash at Qiao Nuan and make the woman's body into pieces of flesh without blinking.


He was just about to speak when Xiao Shuxiang's sword blade now pointed at him and almost touched the neck. Chu Gu Xiang froze on the spot and did not even have time to take a breath.


"You must know where he kept the book," Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice. His facial expression contained absolutely no joking at the moment. He seemed to be able to completely slash anyone if his wishes were not obeyed.


"I-i ... I don't know," Chu Gu Xiang's voice trembled slightly. He was either out of fear or was simply too shocked by this rapid change in situation.


"You sure? Really don't know?" xiao Shuxiang's eyes flashed red. His voice was cold as he began to touch his sword blade on Chu Gu Xiang's neck.
