HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
351 - Wang Zhao (6)

"What's going on?" Yan Tianhen had just stepped on the ground. This was the second location he had come to after arriving with Dao Elder Fang An's entourage.


Previously he had fought with the members of the Demon Valley Sect, but it didn't take long until his opponent suddenly knelt on the ground and laid down their swords as if giving up.


Elder Dao Fang An who was not far from where Yang Tianhen was was was was seemingly turned around. He froze as he watched Wang Zhao walk with his human head in his hands. The atmosphere became very different.


Elder Dao Fang An was just about to speak when he heard the cultivators' exclamations. They were so happy with the victory that had been achieved and even cheered for it.


After that war, cultivators from the various sects began to gather. While the Demon Valley Sect members and their citizens were seen marching while kneeling, they lowered their gaze and not even one dared to open their voices.


The sect leader head that was previously in Wang Zhao's hands had now been placed under the banner of the alliance of cultivators. It was a sign that now the Demon Valley Sect had given up under the victory of their opponents.


"Shizun," Wang Zhao looked at Dao Fang An for a moment before lowering his gaze. The voice was slow and sounded a bit trembling as he said, "Shizun ... I'm sorry. I ..."


The water was flooded in Wang Zhao's eyes. He clenched his hands together and tried to toughen up on all of this. But Elder Dao Fang An could see the young man before him just pretending to be strong.


"Don't apologize if this isn't your fault" Elder Dao Fang An said calmly. He made Wang Zhao look back at him, yet with a mixed facial expression.


"You're such a crybaby... " Liu Wei Lin looked and felt uneasy because this young man could always shed tears, even against the enemy once.


Wang Zhao circulated his eyes and then breathed slowly. He opened his voice and said, "The only thing left of war is loss and sadness. Shizun, I know the people in this place have caused a lot of harm, but I am very self-destructive because I still want to ask forgiveness for them."


Elder Dao Fang An exhaled and felt that Wang Zhao shouldn't have behaved as gently as this. He was even convinced that the young man before him must have felt extremely heavy while carrying a human head around to stop this great war.


Dao Elder Fang An and the other Great Elders watched Wang Zhao closely. They were as thoughtful as Elder Dao Fang An. Just look, even at this moment Wang Zhao was trying to hide the trembling in his hands and all over his body.


One of the cultivators said, "Appreciate your kindness. But what if we pardon their lives and take revenge?"


"No need to talk about it anymore..!" A cultivator from one of the black stream sects snapped. He said, "The Demon Valley Sect must pay for everything they've done."


The cultivator was about to charge in, but Liu Wei Lin quickly stopped him. The young man with the red fan in his hand smiled and said, "Brother. Didn't you see it? This sect had already suffered many losses. They took a long time to recover, do you still not let them?"


"Do these people feel sorry for my sect? Or pity the other colleges they've ruined?"


Elder Chen Duan Shang said, "The guilty ones have already accepted his punishment. You should also see that our side is not doing well. Look at your condition, aren't you aware of your injuries?"


"Fuck up! I'll finish them all-"


"I promise," Wang Zhao interrupted. His hands clenched as he said, "From now on... The people of the Demon Valley Sect will no longer be out of this place. I will seal the valley of the world ... Forever."


Liu Wei Lin flinched, he turned his head and then blinked as he looked at Wang Zhao. He could see the young man was very heavy when he decided to close the valley for good.


A cultivator said, "I'm still not calm. How the hell did you do that? You want to shut down this sect while there are those who are stronger than you?"


"Is that head not enough for you as proof?" Wang Zhao gave a cold look to his eyes and made the cultivator startled. He asked again, "Is their reaction not even enough to make you believe?"


Although Wang Zhao's voice had a threatening tone, but the water dripping on his cheek could no longer be held back was a sign that he was currently trying to do his best. After all, not everyone who lived in the Demon Valley Sect was guilty.


Elder Dao Fang An exhaled. He said, "You know what's best. I believe you,"


"Shizun ..." Wang Zhao not only had the support of the Great Elder of the Cloud Sea Sect, but also the support of the other Great Elders. They gave him the opportunity of changing the Demon Valley Sect with his own hands.


Wang Zhao said a lot of thanks and at the same time a huge apology. He said that he could not make up for the loss of life, but would promise that this was the last time the Demon Valley Sect would be seen for the world. After this ... He'll close the valley forever.


There were some cultivators who started looking for their comrades and elders. Some are more concerned with healing wounds before worrying about others. On the other hand, there were even warriors who started to return home to their respective places.


"Wei Lin?" Wang Zhao walked up to Liu Wei Lin and asked in a soft voice. "The members of the Ghost Valley Sect who betrayed you, are you going to take them away?"


Liu Wei Lin looked towards the Ghost Valley Sect members who were still kneeling while bowing their heads. He then waved his fan and said, "That's your right now. You're the one who decided what kind of punishment they'd be,"


"But-"


"If I did, I could not control my emotions. The cultivators who are in my sect and are currently seeing ... I honestly really want to whip them."


"Wei Lin,"


"Hmph," Wang Zhao snorted. "If I don't remember wrongly, you took the lives of many of the guards of the Black Lotus Palace as the warpath entered the middle."


"Where is it possible," Liu Wei Lin did a self-defence by saying, "Do you think a gentle fan like this can kill people?"


"...................." Isn't that obvious? Wang Zhao was left with no idea what to say. He's not a senile old man to the point of not knowing what really happened. However he was unwilling to fight Liu Wei Lin and this young man was very fond of arguing even though the truth was not on his side.


Yi Wen had just helped a child who was separated from his parents. He then walked up to Zhi Shu who was currently with Ling Qing Zhu and then started to open his voice.


Yi Wen sighed, "This sucks. Why should the battle end? I haven't even shown my abilities,"


"Isn't that better?" Zhi Zhu said, "The sooner a war ends, the more victims will not fall. I'm just relieved that it's over,"


"Haah, whatever. Now there's nothing for us to do, right? So let's go home" Yi Wen walked over and called Ling Qing Zhu to come home with him.


Ling Qing Zhu was just about to follow Yi Wen when her hand was suddenly grabbed by a girl of about 9 years old. He also slightly frowned.


"Sister," the girl signaled for Ling Qing Zhu to bow down. He then hugged the white-haired girl as Ling Qing Zhu crouched down. His actions were quite shocking.


?!


Ling Qing Zhu did not say anything. To be honest he had not expected to be directly hugged like this by a little child. He even wondered why this sweet girl suddenly hugged him.


"Sister, thank you and ...."


The girl whispered something in Ling Qing Zhu's ear and made the girl flinch and directly stare at him. Ling Qing Zhu did not have time to speak, Yi Wen immediately grabbed onto his arm and invited him home together.


Yi Wen embraced Ling Qing Zhu's arm and said, "I want to go home immediately and take a bath. My body is really uncomfortable, I don't know how many days we've been in this place. Haha ... Zhi Shu's! Comehere. Are you gonna stay there? Where is my Brother Xiao?"


Zhi Shu caught up with Yi Wen And shook his head slowly, "I don't know either. I think Brother Xiao is with Young Master Lan,"


Yi Wen nodded in understanding. He then circulated his gaze and clucked a few times. 'This place is really messed up,"


Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice. He said without a tone, "There are still many bodies that need to be buried. We can't go,"


"Don't worry," Yi Wen said, "The members of the Demon Valley Sect will take care of it. See that over there?"


Ling Qing Zhu and Zhi Shu followed the direction of Yi Wen's gaze. They saw Wang Zhao forcing to clear the marks of all this fight. Even Wang Zhao requested that the cultivators before him to put more importance on health and any injuries they got.


It took a long time until the elders allowed Wang Zhao and then began to say goodbye to the young man. That was also when Elder Meng Hao Niang arrived at this place.


That wine-heavy fan woman had just finished healing the cultivators present in the sect. Yet apparently he did not want to return to the Demon Valley Sect. Elder Meng Hao Niang preferred to stay in the Cloud Sea Sect over the others.


Zhi Shu saw Wang Zhao accept all the decisions of Elder Meng Hao Niang. The woman was even this very one going to look for Wang Hu Zhuang.


Wang Zhao bowed in salute to the cultivators. He noticed one by one the backs of those people and even smiled and signaled for Zhi Shu to just leave. Wang Zhao even said that he would catch up with them later.


Ling Qing Zhu turned around for a moment to look at Wang Zhao and the young man bowed respectfully while smiling at him. He blinked and then flinched as Yi Wen called out to him.


"What's wrong? You forgot something?" Yi Wen asked and was answered quietly by Ling Qing Zhu.


"Nothing,"


"You don't worry about that young man. He's proven himself and now he's got to expand as a leader,"


"I know, but ..." Ling Qing Zhu felt uncomfortable about something.


"Miss Ling? Just tell me, what's wrong with you?" Zhi Shu open the voice.


Ling Qing Zhu recalled the words of the daughter who had previously given him a hug. He did not understand the girl at all, but all he knew was ... The boy whispered a request for help to her, for some reason.
