HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
431 - A No Stranger Figure

Due to being saved surprisingly, the patriarchs of the Sky Sword Sect including their disciples could not take a good position so when they came out of the Moving Mirror-they all fell down on each other.


!!!


"Ouch!" Zhi Shu fell to the ground with a tilted position. Next to his arm hurt because of a collision from the burning pole that is still tied to him.


"It hurts a lot, ouch.." Zhi Shu tried to move, but this pole was really heavy and he was not even able to shift in the slightest.


On the other hand, the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect also whimpered. Moreover, there were some of them who were struck by the burning pole that was tied to the patriarchs.


"Young Master Xiao is very outrageous, quarrel.." a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect complained and said, "He should have opened this bond just threw us into this place."


"It felt like my stomach contents wanted to come out," one of the disciples tried to resist vomiting. His internal injuries had not recovered at all and now he had to feel how to fall while being hit by many people.


Hu Li heard the groans of these disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and even saw the patriarch Lan Xu Jian who was calming them down. Patriarch Bai Wu Dang took over and requested that the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect could look for solutions to this problem.


Patriarch Yu Changhai circulated his eyes and only became aware of his current location. He flinched in shock and then started to open his voice.


"Hey, do you realize where we are right now?"


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian and a few disciples of the Sky Sword Sect heard that remark. They looked around and felt very foreign to this place.


"Te-Chairman..."


"Don't panic, everybody calm down." Patriarch Lan Xu Jian tried to catch his breath, the rope that bound him at the moment was still very difficult to remove. He himself could not use spiritual energy because he was suffering from severe internal injuries.


Hu Li himself seemed to frown, he saw that there was a wall far enough away and surrounded them. His position was now in a spacious backyard. This was because he was watching the back of a building that had no idea what place it was.


Hu Li blinked, it felt like this location was quite familiar to him. He tried to remember when a scream shocked him. Zhi Shu, the patriarchs and the other disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were all shocked as well.


The figure that shouted just now was a woman in servant clothes. And because of his screams, some people began to huddle along. Zhi Shu subconsciously held her breath, her condition was now not good and now another problem came again.


"Brother Xiao... What exactly are you taking us to..?" Zhi Shu blamed Xiao Shuxiang and tried to refrain from cursing his brother.


Zhi Shu and the others began to approach many people. Patriarch Bai Wu Dang was about to speak when an exclamation jolted him.


"Hu Li...!? Is that you?!"


!!


Hu Li was surprised. A young man ran quickly towards her. Before long, the figure was finally recognizable and even Zhi Shu was familiar with this young man.


This green-clothed figure with a fan in hand and looking like a young merchant was none other than Nie Shang. Zhi Shu's smile expanded as she knew that Xiao Shuxiang was taking her along with the members of the Sky Sword Sect to the Thousand Year Inn.


"Nie Shang...!" Zhi Shu was moved, "Help me. Hurry...!"


"Zhi Shu's..! Oh, mercy. Quickly help them," Nie Shang closed his fan and asked the people around him to untie these cultivators before him.


Nie Shang himself removed his outer robe and covered Hu Li's head. He was trying to hide the fox ears of this young man. Nie Shang gave a pale expression, "What happened to you? And why are you all here? You're even-yes, geez."


"The story is very long," Hu Li said softly. He grimaced, "Why did Young Master Nie do this?"


"Hu Li, whether you know this or not-but you're in danger. Word got out that you've stolen something from some party in this place. Not to mention they know that you are a Demonic Beast,"


Nie Shang shook his head and again said, "It's a good thing you came through the backyard. So what sees you are the servants in this place-"


"Young Master Nie, the rope is difficult to remove." one of the men called Nie Shang. He and the other servants tried to take off the rope that tied the hands of these strangers.


"The rope is small, but why is it so strong."


"Did anyone bring a dagger? Try using that and cutting the rope,"


"Geez, what kind of rope is this?!"


Some disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect grimaced. One of them said, "This is no ordinary rope. The dagger won't be able to take it off,"


Hu Li looked at the servants who were indeed focused on helping Zhi Shu and the members of the Sky Sword Sect. He looked at Nie Shang and only really remembered what he was doing.


"How's this? The rope could not escape," Nie Shang panicked and then remembered something, "Uncle. Try calling Siu Yixin, I think she can help."


"Good,"


Nie Shang looked at Hu Li and said, "You don't worry. We're gonna try to take off the rope that tied you up,"


"Thank you,"

For Hu Li and the members of their Sky-location Sword Sect when it was removed from the Moving Mirror was a place never expected. While on the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang had indeed chosen the Thousand Year Inn as the location of the move of the cultivators he saved.


When noticed, actually Hu Li's current state was not too bad when compared to Xiao Shuxiang. That Guardian Saint from Ling Qing Zhu had actually used a lot of energy when fighting against the three celestial heirloom spirits while in the Upper Cultivation Realm.


Furthermore, it was about the undead that Xiao Shuxiang had created. Since the number of creatures was quite a lot, then the strength of Xiao Sbuxiang was a lot drained. And now while wearing the Moving Mirror that far - of course he would be exhausted.


Xiao Shuxiang had indeed fought for 40 days, but the events with the current one were very much different. He now has something to protect and it is clear that his every action-should always be taken into account.


Even when his body was tired, Xiao Shuxiang was not allowed to show it. He was now dealing with such a sly figure and one who would not hesitate to take anyone's life.


The attack that Wang Zhao had missed earlier was proof that this young man could do anything and did not care about the impact of his actions.


"Mr Xiao, I'll give you a choice." Wang Zhao said politely, "Don't continue this fight. Mister Xiao should either surrender or no human would survive in this region,"


Wang Zhao smiled and casually said, "Because of my kindness... I asked my uncle to make a seal on the territory of these two empires. So no outsiders will come to help. Then my attack just now... Hmph. It was the kind of attack that encompassed almost two cities. If I wanted to, it could be bigger and wider. You probably wouldn't be able to imagine it,"


Xiao Shuxiang stared intently at the young man before him and inwardly bullied. "I don't care what I'm going to call, which I'm obviously going to finish this guy off right now."


Xiao Shuxiang moved a little bit of his foot and a shock wind was instantly created, even rapidly leading to where his opponent was standing.


Wang Zhak gasped, but quickly jumped back. In the next second, an explosion occurred right at his standing position earlier. He would only digest the situation when a lesion came and directly attacked him.


!!!


Wang Zhao's dagger and Xiao Shuxiang's sword clashed extremely violently. They exchanged attacks back and this time Xiao Shuxiang used the Water Breathing Technique he had.


Despite training Wang Zhao how to fight, Xiao Shuxiang had not once taught this young man about his Water Breathing Technique. He was just simply teaching the basic techniques of fighting because he felt that this young man did not have a good training in the Cloud Sea Sect.


Xiao Shuxiang's fist clashed with Wang Zhao's palm. He said, "This is why I'm lazy to help people because there are so many ungrateful people like you."


Wang Zhao snorted, "But to be honest I was very surprised. A Xiao Shuxiang... How can it be so innocent that it can be tricked like this?"


"Then you should also say it to everyone in the Upper Cultivation Realm. You've deceived them, even the people who cared about you all this time..!"


A kick came and made Wang Zhao dodge it, but unexpectedly Xiao Shuxiang blasted the attack from his sword and this time made his opponent unable to dodge.


Wang Zhao flinched, he had no choice but to withstand the attack. Because of the tremendous power, his dagger was destroyed and he himself bounced to hit a large building.


Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands and spiritual energy flowed strongly in his sword. He said, "Can't... I won't let you die so easily after what you've done. You have to pay everything, regardless of what you owe me or anything else."


Xiao Shuxiang shot back. In the air, he pum swung his weapon and the sword unleashed five attacks at once. Wang Zhao still did not move when the attack came.


!!!


A huge explosion was created and the attack hit right towards Wang Zhao's body. But Xiao Shuxiang who was currently starting to drift down did not feel happy at all. His facial expression looked even more upset.


The attack should be able to take a person's life to formless, but what happened was - Wang Zhao actually had the ability to turn his body into black smoke so as not to be exposed to any type of attack.


Xiao Shuxiang was clearly shocked. He saw with his own eyes how the black smoke solidified and became a human figure again. His eyes widened and it was as if he heard a rumbling sound within his chest. He recognized this technique.
