Xiao Shuxiang held back his shout.

He was really goosebumps with Lan Guan Zhi's actions that were far from the attitude of this young man. The surrounding Cloud Sea Sect disciples were unceasingly starting to talk about the strange thing between him and his good friend.

Xiao Shuxiang's ears even caught some signals of misunderstanding that shouldn't be allowed to exist in the Upper Cultivation Realm. Now somehow he has to bring his face.

"................" Xiao Shuxiang looked at his good friend intently, but only saw the other subject's extremely gentle gaze on him. To be honest he was goosebumps and anxious if Lan Guan Zhi became a little insane.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was shocked when he saw Lan Guan Zhi smiling faintly at him. He pulled up the Cloud Sea Sect disciple and took cover behind the back of the male disciple.

"W-did you just see her?" xiao Shuxiang's voice trembled, "Di-he smiled at me."

The disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were of course shocked as it was suddenly made a shield by this young man behind him. He did not see the smile from Lan Guan Zhi, but the most piercingly cold gaze ever.

"Go,"

A single word from Lan Guan Zhi made that Cloud Sea Sect disciple shiver and try to stay away. Merely, Xiao Shuxiang did not let go.

"Tu-Master Xiao, you better let me go. Young Master Lan seems to dislike seeing this,"

"don't want. You have to treat him first. There was something wrong with his head, even the pills I gave him did not look to work." Xiao Shuxiang's expression was complicated.

Lan Guan Zhi himself noticed Xiao Shuxiang's hand which was on the arm of the Cloud Sea Sect disciple. His eyes darkened and he got out of bed. His actions surprised everyone.

"W-what does he want to do?" Xiao Shuxiang was getting more and more worried. To be honest he was thinking of hitting Lan Guan Zhi's head hard if until this good friend of his acted that was not right.

"A-I don't know either," the forced Cloud Sea Sect disciple was between Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi was seen about to cry. He didn't want to be in the situation he is in right now.

Not yet had time for the disciple to re-open a voice-a hand pulled him and made himself thrown into the arms of another Cloud Sea Sect disciple. It was fortunate that he bumped into a female disciple until he liked her situation quite a bit now.

On the other hand, it was Xiao Shuxiang who was in a bad situation. The other subject's hands were on his waist and he was even made in contact with the chest of the other person's field. He was so nervous and horrified, his face paled.

"You ... Don't you want me anymore?"

Lan Guan Zhi's words left Xiao Shuxiang in shock. On the other hand hysterical cries rang out among the female disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. It was not a roar of grief, but like a strange shout from a disciple who liked this situation.

"A-anu Lan Zhi's... You should be treated first. I-I think your head has a problem, Ka-friend." Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times and nodded, "Crazy. Seriously, this is crazy. This situation.. This scene.. I really wanted to hit him in the head to get him back to his senses."

"Lan'Eer... You're obviously hurt bad. Lie down and rest, okay?"

"Not like,"

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang blinked.

"I don't like this place. Too many people,"

"That's because this place a lot of people are being treated. You should be checked, too,"

"don't want. I just want you,"

"This child... What's wrong with her?" Xiao Shuxiang gulped and tried to digest the situation at hand. He said, "Son. You can't move first. You have external injuries and internal injuries. It should be well taken care of, and also you have a problem with the contents of your head. That's worse,"

".......... Shuxiang,"

"W-what?" Xiao Shuxiang was nervous as he was called this gentle. He even held his breath when he had to look at the figure before him.

"If I'm good, will you be with me?"

"Huh? O-oh. Sure,"

"Will not leave me?"

"Yes, crazy..."

"If so I'm fine,"

"What?" Xiao Shuxiang was just about to speak back when Lan Guan Zhi's body was enveloped by spiritual energy. In a short period of time, this entire wound of his good friend was instantly healed.

Xiao Shuxiang flabbergasted, "Wait. Did my Dragon Breath Pill react slowly? But what I'm seeing isn't like the pill..."

Something is wrong! Xiao Shuxiang was sure that something was wrong with Lan Guan Zhi, but he simply did not know how to explain it.

"Obviously he was badly injured before. I gave the Dragon Breath Pill and it was useless as well. But suddenly he was able to recover so quickly. The problem... It's still weird." Xiao Shuxiang was astonished, he was to the point of not being consciously embraced by another subject.

Zhao Lu Si had just come when struck by the sight before him. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang and was just about to call out the name of the young man happily when the smile on his face froze.

Right before his eyes, Xiao Shuxiang was seen hugging someone who was honestly unexpected. The wooden basin filled with water that he even carried until he fell down was so shocked.

"Sir-Master Xiao?"

Xiao Shuxiang was not aware of his condition right now. He was just jerked when someone's hand slid intentionally to the side of his waist and stroked. At that very instant, Xiao Shuxiang's mind became clear.

Spiritual energy gathered in his fist and he directed a critical attack, but was instantly restrained by Lan Guan Zhi's hand. The sound from the impact was extremely loud, shocking everyone, even to the point of creating a shock wind.

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang immediately let out a yingxionng, he stared warily at Lan Guan Zhi and at that moment also saw the change in the eyes of his good friend.

"Elder Dao," Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice without taking his eyes off. He made Dao Fang An flinch.

Xiao Shuxiang asked, "Is there a training ground where great powers can survive and not damage this sect?"

The new Dao Fang An would reply when the atmosphere around him was so pressing. This dark aura did not come from Xiao Shuxiang, but from Lan Guan Zhi. Even Liu Wei Lin looked extremely shocked.

They were actually wondering about Xiao Shuxiang attacking Lan Guan Zhi all of a sudden. But seeing Lan Guan Zhi's current condition had proven that Xiao Shuxiang's actions were not entirely wrong.

Lan Guan Zhi's previously gentle eye gaze turned so cold and filled with a dark aura. In this place, only Dao Fang An, Liu Wei Lin and Xiao Shuxiang were familiar with the aura.

"Te-Elder," a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect nervously called out to Dao Fang An. He was just about to ask when the strong blowing wind carried a stifling feeling.

"..................." Xiao Shuxiang did not direct his eyes elsewhere. He kept his eyes fixed on the subject before him before in a split second, a wind with great force came and instantly pushed him out of the room.

The door of the building was even shattered when it collided with Xiao Shuxiang's back.

"Elder Dao..!"

"Elder!"

The disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect exclaimed and Dao Fang An immediately spread out his hands. He said, "Stay in this place and don't come out."

The disciples became tense, let alone they started hearing the sounds of a fierce fight that made the ground tremble. Liu Wei Lin watched as Dao Fang An came out and he spontaneously stopped the Cloud Sea Sect disciple who was about to catch up with the old man.

"Don't go there, you'll die." Liu Wei Li warned.

"But Mister Xiao and Young Master Lan-"

"Young Master Liu? Does Young Master know what really happened?"

Liu Wei Lin looked at the male disciple who asked that before his gaze descended. His eyebrows were linked together with his facial expression turning serious.

Liu Wei Lin said, "I can't explain, but the point-Young Master Lan is under influence. Most likely.. He's possessed."

!

"Young Master Liu, you don't joke. Please be serious,"

Liu Wei Lin waved his fan, "You think I'm kidding? Ouch.. My chest hurts. This is serious, you know. Young Master Lan's body is under spirit influence, although I don't know what spirit it is but..."

Liu Wei Lin hung up his words and thought of every trait of Lan Guan Zhi before. He muttered, "This is bad. I felt that it was not just one spirit nor was it an ordinary spirit. Brother Xiao must be in danger,"

Liu Wei Lin was about to get up from his bed, but his strength was completely drained. He had to lie down again even though he was eager to help Xiao Shuxiang right now.

Liu Wei Lin's words were right about that spirit. Right now indeed Lan Guan Zhi's body was in control, but not an outer spirit. It was the spirit of the three heavenly heirlooms and hence Xiao Shuxiang felt familiar.

!!!

Uhh!

Xiao Shuxiang who was currently outside looked troubled. He was pushed back and almost fell if he did not use Yinngxiong as his body support.

"really strong. Though it was only one flick of the hand and I was unable to get close," Xiao Shuxiang spat out blood and still saw his good friend walking quietly.

A thin golden mist was seen enveloping Lan Guan Zhi's feet and turning the entire color on the young man's clothes black. Xiao Shuxiang widened his eyes, especially when the aura of this friend was extremely domineering.

"remarkable. I already knew that he was very handsome in that mourning outfit, but now his good looks were inexplicable. Wait, why would I praise him?" Xiao Shuxiang shook his head.

It was natural that if he was enchanted, others would be the same. That means, look at that. The black robe with wide sleeves fluttered softly as the cold wind swept over. The snowy white face was perfect with her cold and sharp gaze.

To Xiao Shuxiang, that gaze was like it had nailed him with two knives. His heart surged and honestly his back felt cold. He never knew that Lan Guan Zhi could look like a tyrannical cast member, or a domineering handsome antagonist.

Eliminate the word 'handsome', okay? Xiao Shuxiang felt rivaled. He is the one who should be in the position of oppressing people. If anyone should be called a criminal, then that should only be his name. The only tyranny is that only he is entitled to the title. It was impossible to be given to a figure better known as the Sacred Mountain of Pride of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"The sword..." Lan Guan Zhi opened his voice and this made Xiao Shuxiang flinch. His tone was cold as he said, "I hate him."

"L-Yuan! Are you still there? You hear me?" Xiao Shuxiang tried for the last time. Though before this figure before him was so spoiled, but somehow his nature changed.

"You still don't deserve to talk to me, yet,"

!!!

The immense pressure with just a cold-pitched speech made Xiao Shuxiang have to use spiritual energy to envelop his body.

Dao Fang An who was not far from the location of Xiao Shuxiang at that time looked surprised. He saw blood dripping out of Xiao Shuxiang's ear and this was at the same time as Lan Guan Zhi spoke. It was obvious that it was a powerful technique and it seemed like the charming young man was having a hard time coping with it.

"Son..!"

"Elder Dao, don't come here..!" Xiao Shuxiang stopped Dao Fang An and without warning issued an attack using his immortal sword.

There were five slashes in one swing, but with only two fingers from Lan Guan Zhi-the attack was successfully resisted. Xiao Shuxiang was serious when he attacked.

Dao Fang An darted and retraced on one of the tree branches. He exclaimed to Xiao Shuxiang, "There is a seal in the middle of this forest, son. Go there,"

Lan Guan Zhi was indeed not eyeing the others, he only wanted to destroy the sword in Xiao Shuxiang's hand as if he had a personal grudge with the heirloom. Xiao Shuxiang who felt this familiar premonition instantly used the opportunity to lure the subject in front of him into following him.

But of course it was not easy, because Lan Guan Zhi's movements were so fast and Xiao Shuxiang had to exchange attacks with his good friend several times. The Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu tried to call Lan Guan Zhi, but still there was no answer.
