HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
352 - Sunscreen (2)

Despite walking away, Ling Qing Zhu occasionally turned back. He did not know what strange feeling he was feeling, let alone if well remembered - everyone from the Demon Valley Sect did not look happy to have been saved from such a cruel tyrant.

"Miss Ling? Are you worried about Wang Zhao?" Yi Wen sighed and then said, "There's no need to worry about her. He'll be fine. He's been more than strong to protect himself,"

Zhi Shu nodded in agreement, "That's right. Wang Zhao has trained a lot and I'm sure he can take care of himself,"

"................... I hope my premonition is not right," Ling Qing Zhu breathed softly. He walked behind the elders and only realized his Guardian was not among the surrounding cultivators.

The daughter who had previously hugged Ling Qing Zhu continued to pay attention to the white-haired beautiful girl's back. His feelings get more agitated as the subject he sees gets further away. His breath was breathless and he immediately ran.

The girl exclaimed, but a hand grabbed her shoulder quickly and pulled her so hard. He fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Everyone who was part of the Demon Valley Sect was shocked by it.

A cultivator from the Ghost Valley Sect also looked shocked. He stared towards the figure who had already acted rudely towards the girl, someone who was none other than Wang Zhao himself.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, a barrier suddenly appeared in the air. The barrier made the region of the Demon Valley Sect would not be able to be seen by outsiders. The subject that made the barrier was also Wang Zhao.

!!!

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Before all the members of the Demon Valley Sect, Wang Zhao's figure now looked different. Some people even subconsciously opened their eyes wide.

"Where do you want to go?"

Wang Zhao's voice was calm, without a tone. But the body of the girl who fell on the ground seemed to tremble. He couldn't even move so scared of her.

A line of smiles suddenly formed on Wang Zhao's face, a friendly smile that he always showed. But the look in his eyes was clearly different, let alone surprisingly the color of those eyes had now turned completely black.

"Now how ... I have to kill you all?"

!!!

"No mu-maybe .." a person from the Ghost Valley Sect looked tense. His eyes widened from the shock he saw.

"In-he was from the Black-Eyed Demon Clan-!!" a cultivator from the Ghost Valley Sect exclaimed, but before that had happened - his body instantly spurted fresh blood as if he had suffered dozens of slash wounds.

!!!

In just two breaths, the figure fell lifeless. The incident shocked everyone, moreover the atmosphere grew even more terrifying when hearing the sound of someone's little laughter.

"G ... Excuse me. Someone's dead, but I'm laughing." Wang Zhao smiled. He brushed off the dust in his white clothes before crossing his hands.

Sighing, Wang Zhao said. "I'm sorry I'm being disrespectful. I'll cry for her later. That's easy to do, pfft... Ha ha ha."

"Well, where did we get to?" w.a.n.g Zhao's voice suddenly turned cold as he said, "Don't I ever say that if you can't kill me, then all of you will die."

"WANG XUAN ZHAO'S! You monster!!"

"Let's fight him! He's alone and won't be able to face us!"

"Hmph, still unconscious apparently." Wang Zhao only moved his index finger and red fog smoke was instantly created on the ground. Screams and roars of pain spread and it didn't take long until everyone who was there fell to the ground.

Their feet were covered in hot water and the pain was unbearable. The only one who was not affected by that thin red mist was Wang Zhao. The young man pulled back the fog he had already spread.

"Lian'Er's ability is indeed useful. Not in vain have I been kind to her all this time," Wang Zhao smiled and calmly started walking. He silenced the moans of pain from those people with just the look in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I did not come to avenge you," Wang Zhao said calmly and softly said. "I love you all very much. That's why I came here to keep my promise,"

Wang Zhao walked up to an old man and then crouched down in front of a figure whose feet were exposed to his artificial red mist. Wang Zhao smiled and said softly, "Don't I already say that without any strength ... I can destroy this sect. Hmph, now look. Without them noticing, I moved cultivators from the second sect of the stream to attack this place."

"This ... It's your house!"

"Home? Over where? Home is a place where family members love each other," Wang Zhao said, "But what if that place is too narrow for me, hm? Hmph. Then of course I have to get rid of the useless ones. Right, right?"

!!!

Wang Zhao smiled. "Grandfather Liang, I know you're surprised to see me alive. Ha ha, moreover, I actually came with a large army here. Awesome, right?"

Wang Zhao took a breath and shook his head, this time his tone sounded sad. "I feel sorry for you, Grandpa. And also the people who live here. You suffered because of me, then my father, then Qiao Nuan. Ah ... But relax, I've cleared it all up. Not me, but even without moving my fingers ... They're gone."

The figure named Grandpa Liang was staring nigh at Wang Zhao. He growled and said, "I regret it so much ... I regret my actions that stopped your father from killing you back then."

Wang Zhao flinched, both of his hands trembled and his facial expression changed. He showed a sad face and felt very sorry. His voice trembled as he said, "I thank you for that. But does Grandpa Liang hate me so much? Ha ha ha, jeez ... Look at that expression of yours. I really like doing it. How many people do you think are fooled by this innocent handsome face of mine? Ha ha ha, hah ... It's fun."

Wang Zhao stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the cheek of the old man before him. He said, "My hand never trembles with fear. This is a sign of how good I am not to directly pry your eyes out and force you to eat them."

Wang Zhao patted the cheek of the old man before him and then shook his head with a smile. He stood up and breathed. Wang Zhao walked over and re-opened his voice.

He said, "When you remember again. The man also regretted not killing me when I was first born. But yah ... He's the one who's stupid, so it's not my fault."

"You've been living in the White Stream environment all this time, why don't you ever change!!" Grandfather Liang yelled, "I helped you so you could-"

"Being good?" Wang Zhao interrupted, he turned around and looked at the old man and said. "Thank you, I'm not interested. Have you ever seen a bad guy who always loses? Hmph, not Grandpa. Only a good human being will be tested by the heavens. Of course I chose another path and see what I do? I made you all look bad in the eyes of the whole world."

"Wang Zhao, you ..."

"Don't blame me for how unfortunate your fate is," Wang Zhao said. "In order to get me knocked out, you guys made a seal on both of my dantians. My uncle took over the sect no matter the risk if he had to cooperate with Qiao Nuan. He even attracted the traitors of other sects to this place. For what? The Sun Killer Book? Ha ha ha, I'll say this as a form of my respect for you that will be gone soon,"

Wang Zhao smiled, "Uncle-Ah, I mean my father ... Know that I killed his wife and children. What can I do other than make him see the prophecy that his son is a Black-Eyed Devil that will lead the world to destruction? Ha ha ha, I made him believe that only the Sun Killing Book could destroy this monster. Then after ..."

Wang Zhao, "You can imagine it yourself. How did I make him try to plot sealing against the power and planning of killing on me. On one hand I would look very pitiful and like an unwanted child. Then on the other hand, I put pity in the eyes of Meng Hao Niang and also Lian'Er. Ah ... I like them."

A female cultivator suddenly shouted, "You're even worse than Liu Wei Lin!"

Wang Zhao turned around and then walked towards the woman. He gripped the woman's neck and lifted her very roughly. Wang Zhao's voice was cold as he said, "Miss. Don't equate me with the sect leader you betrayed. Liu Wei Lin's? He just didn't like people who didn't obey his orders at all. While I am, this Great Wang Xuan Zhao Yang does not consider you to be human."

Before he could even touch the young man, someone suddenly came and then gave him a punch. A black-robed man stood in front of Wang Zhao. His face was very handsome yet contained a cold gaze of eyes.

Wang Zhao smiled faintly as if he had realized the arrival of this person. He looked at the young man who had fallen on the ground and said, "It's very sad. Do you think you can attack me that way, hm?"

Looking at the man who fell on the ground looking growled made the black-robed cultivator turn towards Wang Zhao. He said coldly, "What is this?"

"The charade's done. They are all now yours," Wang Zhao smiled. "Didn't you improve your practice? Making them all a sacrifice I think is more than enough,"

"Mong Zhao ..."

"After you're done, meet me at the usual place. I can't stand to see a corpse,"

"....................." . He turned around and looked at these people without changing his facial expression.

The figure of the black-robed man was none other than Wang Hu Zhuang. As long as he didn't join the war and just watched from afar. There were quite a few people he had saved and that was why his presence had become so shocking.

"Master Wang Hu Zhuang ...?" a female cultivator was wide-eyed and seemed to be in disbelief at what she saw. His voice trembled as he said, "You and Wang Zhao ... Is it possible--!!"

The color of Wang Hu Zhuang's eyes instantly turned pitch-black and made the female cultivator extremely shocked. Suddenly thousands of papers appeared in the air and shot towards him.

!!!

The attack was like the rain of a piece of paper that looked beautiful, yet was actually extremely terrifying. The thin white paper scratched the cultivator's clothes and skin, even to the point that one stuck it in their neck.

Some tried to dodge, resisting the attacks with the rest of the strength they had, but it was all in vain. The war had drained them and the red fog had previously instilled unbearable pain.

On the other hand, there were people protecting their children from those paper attacks. All of these actions are useless. Both parents and children, they all died horribly. The paper that was previously white turned red to black because of the blood.

It didn't take long until Wang Hu Zhuang was done with his task. His eye color returned to normal and he walked away. His destination was the Black Lotus Palace where Wang Zhao was already waiting.

The atmosphere in the Black Lotus Palace was so silent and full of gripping nuances. This place was chaotic, even the throne was seen being overwritten by the ruins and Wang Zhao was currently seen cleaning it up.

Wang Hu Zhuang walked over, the sound of his footsteps rang out, but it did not make Wang Zhao turn his head. He said, "You killed your father?"

Wang Zhao put away some wooden blocks and then turned around. He calmly said, "I didn't kill him. Someone else did it for me,"

"Other people?"

"Mn," Wang Zhao smiled and then sat down. He said, "I don't know who that person is. He was a white-robed cultivator, yet his face and expression were like that of a dead man. He also looks haughty, I don't know who he is."

"Uncle Wang, where's the book? Isn't this sect trying to collect it?" Wang Zhao asked.

"I see it looks like a young man named Xiao Shuxiang got it."

"Master Xiao?" Wang Zhao blinked before starting to exhale and nodded slowly.

"Do you know who he is?" Wang Hu Zhuang asked without a tone.

"He's a cultivator from the Lower Cultivation Realm. I admire him and he's talented in Alchemists, too,"

"Nature Cultivation Down ..."

"If Mr. Xiao does have the book, then let it be. He could take him home to the Lower Cultivation Realm." Wang Zhao smiled and kindly said, "You just need to spread the word that the Sun Killing Book is in his hands, let the Lower Cultivation Realm go awry."

"Why not attack directly?"

"Xiao Shuxiang was no ordinary person. You have to investigate the character of your enemy very deeply, only then can we attack his weakness. I'm good friends with him anyway, so there's no need to rush."

Wang Hu Zhuang breathed softly and said in a flat tone. "I took them all out according to your orders."

Wang Zhao flinched, he then stood up and then walked over to Wang Hu Zhuang. His facial expression contained disbelief.

Wang Zhao said, "Why did you do that? I'm not urging you, you should be able to play games with their lives. But you did it fast, you're not exciting at all."

"What are you going to do after this?" Wang Hu Zhuang asked. He did not reply to Wang Zhao's words just now.

"I'll go home, of course." Wang Zhao smiled faintly, "My shizun is already waiting. I don't want to stay here, I can't sleep well."

Wang Zhao continued, "If you want to come with me, then come on. I can think of many reasons that they won't suspect you, after all there is elder Meng who will support us."

"You're still letting him live?"

"He's an alchemist. I will not touch such a precious person and for the sake of the clan's awakening, my abilities will be needed." Wang Zhao gave a smile and then said, "I actually want Mister Xiao, but he is too sensitive. I just always have to be careful when I'm around him,"

"Either I should tell you this or not, but Xiao Shuxiang made those cultivators kill each other by throwing the scroll of the Sun Killer Book into the midst of those who were eyeing it."

"It's good, did the elders from the five big sects also come along?"

"I guess because they have so much resources that they don't need the book."

"Mc ... They're smart. The elders knew that the hot potato named the Book of the Sun Killer would be a contested object. It was only a disadvantage to them, hence they chose to retreat."

"................. The five great sects will become a powerful obstacle for you later on. You arranged this war to only make them suffer a small loss,"

"No problem. My goal had only just begun," Wang Zhao smiled, "If resources are the power of the five great sects, then I only need to make them lose it. We got them fighting each other for those resources,"

"Yeah ..." Wang Zhao took a breath and then sadly said, "Now the first thing I have to do is to go calm down first. Weep over all those who are lost because of this war and then pray for their souls to calm down. I must not forget Shizun's teachings, however I am his most devoted student-pfft, ha ha ha."

Wang Hu Zhuang watched Wang Zhao leave and did not understand the character of the young man at all. The changes to Wang Zhao's character were not influenced by his parents' upbringing, but something else.

Wang Hu Zhuang was breathing slowly, he could not think of anything due to the fact that he was from the same clan as Wang Zhao. They were part of the Black-Eyed Demon and everything related to demons was a disaster for any living being.
