HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
407 - Upper Cultivation Realm (2)

"Chen Duan Shan!" a man's voice sounded blaring. He was the leader of the Dragon Lotus Pavilion which was a great sect of the White Stream.


The figure was named Bai Zhou Tian. His sect had long been hostile to the Ghost Valley Sect and anything related to that valley, he would definitely hate him a lot.


Bai Zhou Tian and his disciples were one of the many sects that joined the alliance of warriors when they attacked the Demon Valley Sect first.


To be honest, they were extremely anti on anything related to the Black Stream. They were hostile towards them and hence when they knew that the Thousand Swords Palace was protecting the Ghost-Bai Valley Sect Leader Zhou Tian instantly brought his best cultivators to attack.


"I say it again. You better hand over the Ghost Valley Sect Leader or I have no choice but to assume your sect colluded with them,"


Chen Duan Shan was breathing slowly. His gaze noticed the green-clothed figure with the lotus complexion and then said, "My friend Bai Zhou Tian. I was shocked at the truth about someone I knew. I'll give him to you, but not when you're filled with this kind of anger. Go back and calm yourself first,"


"Chen Duan Shan!" Bai Zhou Tian tightly clenched his hands and said, "I politely accepted the leader of the Demon Valley Sect as part of the white stream, but not for a leader of the Ghost Valley Sect."


Bai Zhou Tian said, "This kid who is part of the Demon Valley Sect lives with injustice and I know very well how his struggle is, he was even expelled from his own sect. But the Ghost Valley Sect Leader just didn't have any reason to leave, why would he want to be part of the white stream?"


"Only one do I know clearly," Bai Zhou Tian stared intently at Chen Duan Shan and then said, "The Ghost Valley Sect Leader has a hidden intention that will harm this realm."


"My friend Bai Zhou Tian"


"Chen Duan Shan's. This is the last time I'm asking you nicely. Hand over the Ghost Valley Sect Leader, Liu Wei Lin to me."

The tense atmosphere in the Thousand Sword Palace was still very much felt. Li Huanshou who was currently inside the forest with Jian Yang and Wang Zhao looked worried if the fight between the Thousand Sword Palace and the Dragon Lotus Pavilion really broke out.


"Before the attack of cultivators from the Dragon Lotus Pavilion had already damaged the main gate of the sect, if the fight broke out-isn't this very bad?" Li Huanshou gulped, "I know very well what kind of strength the Dragon Lotus Pavilion cultivator, let alone the Great Elder Bai Zhou Tian."


Jian Yang set his breath and said, "If according to the rumors... The power of the Dragon Lotus Pavilion is actually one level above our Thousand Sword Palace."


Liu Wei Lin was also there with Li Huanshou and the others. He exhaled and then said, "You better leave me alone. The safety of your sect is clearly at stake,"


"Where could that be?" Wang Zhao wiped the sweat that was pouring down his cheek and said, "We've managed to escape from there with great difficulty and you just want to give yourself up again? Do you want me to hit?"


"You dare to do it?" Liu Wei Lin spontaneously snapped at Wang Zhao's head and said, "Since when have you been this brave, huh?"


"Shhh..." Wang Zhao rubbed his head and sullenly said. "At least you should appreciate our efforts - I mean my efforts. If you give yourself up for granted, the Thousand Sword Palace will not be attacked and that's what I don't want."


"Brother Liu," Jian Yang opened his voice and then asked, "May I find out why you left the Ghost Valley Sect?"


Li Huanshou flinched and gazed towards Jian Yang before turning his attention to Liu Wei Lin. The red-clothed young man blinked and then opened his fan.


Liu Wei Lin waved his fan softly and then exhaled, "How should I say it? My reasons are hard for you to believe,"


"Young Master Liu," Li Huanshou said. "We've experienced a lot together. I know you're not a bad person, so there's no need to feel that we won't believe you."


Liu Wei Lin looked at these two Thousand Sword Palace disciples before him and then said, "What if what you see is just a charade? I could've pretended to be nice to you guys for something, right?"


Wang Zhao flinched and looked towards Liu Wei Lin. His expression changed slightly, but no one was aware of it. On the other hand, Jian Yang himself was shocked and stared in disbelief at Liu Wei Lin.


Jian Yang said, "Brother Liu. Are you serious about what you say?"


Liu Wei Lin sighed and shook his head slowly. He said, "I just came out of the valley to find my soul mate. Without me noticing, I turned out to be gone for too long and had not even expected to become a disciple in the Cloud Sea Sect. Many years have passed and my increasingly close relationships have made me lazy to go home."


Liu Wei Lin closed his fan and said, "I haven't been in contact with my people in the Ghost Valley Sect for a long time. You can see for yourself that there are among those who take advantage of my absence situation and collude with the Demon Valley Sect. I really didn't take part in any planning,"


"See. You don't believe it, do you?" Liu Wei Lin again waved his fan.


Wang Zhao blinked and tonelessly said, "So you mean ... You're just out to play around, but you're in the dark and you finally have no intention of going back to your sect?"


"Well, the point is that.."


"Geez," Jian Yang exhaled, "Brother Liu. You threw away your position as the sect leader and instead chose to become a disciple of another sect?"


"Huh..." Liu Wei Lin sighed and in a soft tone said, "I am currently heartbroken. Brother Xiao whom I consider to be a soulmate is gone. He even left without saying goodbye and it hurt me. I want him to listen to my poetry,"


Li Huanshou was just about to speak when suddenly a loud voice sounded. He, Wang Zhao and the others were surprised instead of playing. They spontaneously set their sights and saw smoke billowing through the air.


"It seems like there has been a fight there," Jian Yang felt extremely worried. His facial expression turned pale.


"Can't be like this" Liu Wei Lin said. "I'll go there and surrender. The Thousand Swords Palace is innocent, you shouldn't suffer losses just for protecting a stranger like me."


"Wei Lin," Wang Zhao grabbed Liu Wei Lin's hand that was about to leave. His voice was serious as he said, "I know what it's like to have experienced something like this. But you must believe Elder Chen Duan Shan will definitely handle it,"


"Wang Zhao -"


"After all," Wang Zhao interrupted. "Chairman Chen Duan Shan himself told us to hide and go to a safe place. His efforts will be in vain if you turn yourself in,"


Liu Wei Lin looked at the young man in front of him and became annoyed. He said, "Wang Zhao. Listen carefully, the safety of this sect is at stake. Just because it protected me a single, the disciples of the Thousand Sword Palace and even Elder Chen Duan Shan himself could be injured. I'll handle it my way, so don't stop me."


"I can't leave you alone,"


!?


Liu Wei Lin gasped at the words of the young man holding his hand and then blinked. Wang Zhao himself said, "Our relationship is indeed not good, but just like Brother Li Huanshou said that we have experienced many things together. I ... Will help you,"


Wang Zhao looked at Jian Yang and Li Huanshou in turn. He said again, "Can I ... Asking help?"


"What do you want?" Jian Yang asked.


"Just say, we'll definitely help." Li Huanshou was not a voice and was nodded by Jian Yang.


Wang Zhao closed his eyes for a moment and then took a slow breath. He said, "You go back to Elder Chen Duan Shan and stop this fight. You just need to say that the Thousand Sword Palace does not know about Liu Wei Lin's identity, and your sect has even known about it recently. The way I gave you can keep your sect members safe,"


Wang Zhao looked at Liu Wei Lin and again said, "I myself will be with him and leave. We're going back to the Cloud Sea Sect,"


"Lady Zhao..." Jian Yang actually did not expect Wang Zhao would have such a plan. He then looked at Liu Wei Lin as if waiting for the young man's opinion.


Liu Wei Lin thought about it and knew what Wang Zhao meant. Only this way could be done so that the Thousand Swords Palace would not get into a fight with the Dragon Lotus Pavilion because of him.


Liu Wei Lin said, "What Wang Zhao said is true. You return. And also ... Tell them that I escaped, just when this sect knows my identity. Make it look like the Palace of the Thousand Swords ... Hate me,"


Wang Zhao nodded and then said to Jian Yang, "Young Master Jian. Young Master Li Huanshou. You are good friends and have helped us a lot over the years. Don't worry, trust us."


Jian Yang looked at Liu Wei Lin before starting to set his sights on Li Huanshou. He bit his lips before saying, "It's hard to do that..."


"Think about your fellow students," Liu Wei Lin said, "There are many young disciples in the sect. I'm not sure if they won't get hurt if the fight between the Thousand Sword Palace and the Dragon Lotus Pavilion really breaks out. Don't sacrifice your sect disciples for me,"


"Liu Wei Lin is the leader of the Ghost Valley Sect," Wang Zhao said. "Even if he's not welcome here, he still has a place to go home. His strength is so great that you do not need to protect him. Besides of... Now I'm with him, so don't worry about anything."


"You guys should be careful," Jian Yang hugged Liu Wei Lin and then hugged Wang Zhao. "We'll meet again,"


"Mn, definitely." Liu Wei Lin reassured before looking at Wang Zhao and got a soft nod from the young man.


They parted ways where Jian Yang and Li Huanshou returned to the Thousand Swords Palace, while Liu Wei Lin and Wang Zhao went the other way. The sound of a loud explosion occurred and it was a sign that there was a fight right now.


Liu Wei Lin had no idea that chaos was not only threatening the Thousand Swords Palace, but the Cloud Sea Sect. On the other hand, Wang Zhao who looked so caring actually kept a hidden intention deep in his heart.


Not only was the tension in the Upper Cultivation Realm, even in the Lower Cultivation Realm experienced something similar. The Thousand Sword Palace and Cloud Sea Sect were threatened because the cultivator wanted Liu Wej Lin-City of Cold Clouds and the Butterfly Sect were threatened because the enemy was eyeing Xiao Shuxiang.


What was different was that the situation in Xiao Shuxiang's place was already getting chaotic and even a part of the Cold Cloud City had been damaged so badly. That condition could not even be prevented by the way that Wang Zhao did. This was because what Xiao Shuxiang was aiming for was not the life of the young man, but the heirlooms that were on him.


Liu Wei Lin could have thought of sacrificing himself so as not to cause bloodshed, but Xiao Shuxiang could not possibly sacrifice the heirlooms he had on him and was handed over to the enemy.


Xiao Shuxiang was clearly impossible to release the Sun Killing Book because it was related to the salvation of the world. And for himself... He will surely make anyone who is after his life or the heirloom - will experience things that will not be forgotten.


The cultivators of the Upper Cultivation Realm who did not injure the citizens of Cold Cloud City were still able to obtain forgiveness from Xiao Shuxiang, but for cultivators like this Bloody Mist Sect-there was nothing he could give other than the pleasure of near-death pain.
