"Where did you actually take me?" Xiao Shuxiang tried to untie the rope that tied his hands together but could not.


He flinched and then blinked. Her face deteriorated, "Great. I thought I wanted to pretend I was panicking, but this rope was indeed very strong. Wh-how is this?"


"Xiao Shuxiang's... Calm down," Xiao Shuxiang tried to calm down but the look on his face could not hide how anxious he was now.


"danger. I could not feel any spiritual energy at all. What the fuck with this rope? It even felt like this bound me even tighter," Xiao Shuxiang stared in horror at Wang Zhao before focusing on paying attention to his surroundings.


On both sides of Xiao Shuxiang were the damp cave walls, even the ground he was treading on was a bit slippery. As he walked, the sound of his footsteps somewhat echoed.


Xiao Shuxiang breathed softly, "The air in this place is quite decent and since the ground is moist, then I can conclude there is a spring in this place. Although it cannot feel the flow of spiritual energy in my body because of this rope... I can still use another way,"


"Wang Zhao, can't you talk?" Xiao Shuxiang cursed. "You've caught me now, so stop being mysterious and tell me your true purpose. Tsk, I'm really upset."


Smile lines appeared on Wang Zhao's face and he said, "Shizun need not worry. This student will definitely answer your question, but in the right place. We're not there yet,"


Xiao Shuxiang watched this young man and sighed. Despite being in a helpless situation, he still did not give up.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "I've actually thought of some possibilities regarding the actions you've taken. At first I thought you might have taken the Sun Killer Book, but what I didn't know was the reason you caught me alive like this."


"Wang Zhao, stop your charade and just tell me the truth." Xiao Shuxiang said, "If you don't say your purpose, then when I escape from this rope... I'll make you regret."


"Hmph, looks like it's gonna be hard." Wang Zhao smiled disdainfully. He continued walking and now arrived at a room that had two poles with chains wrapped around them.


This place was lit by several bamboo torches and Xiao Shuxiang frowned when he saw that there was an ancient seal ring surrounding the two large pillars.


"It feels familiar about this circle of seals..." Xiao Shuxiang frowned, "Where have I seen him...? I'm sure I've seen seals like this before, but I don't remember. Tsk, fuck."


Xiao Shuxiang was pulled into the seal circle. The rope that bound his body still remained as the chains on the two poles moved on their own and directly wrapped around it. He flinched, yet attempted to express himself as usual while staring at Wang Zhao.


"Sorry if I treat Shizun harshly. I am indeed unfamiliar with this kind of action," Wang Zhao smiled as he stood before Xiao Shuxiang who now could do nothing.


"Wang Zhao, you're making me sick. Stop calling me Shizun," Xiao Shuxiang tonelessly said, "As far as I understand... No student would do such an act to his own teacher. You've exceeded a student's limit, so stop saying that I'm your Shizun."


"Ah... All right, if that's what Mr. Xiao wants." Wang Zhao crossed his hands before finally sighing sadly. "I actually like Mr. Xiao a lot, but it seems like Mr. Xiao is burdened by this teacher-student relationship. So I'll be normal,"


Xiao Shuxiang's expression was solemn as he opened his voice, "You've caught me now.. So tell me who you really are."


Wang Zhao coldly laughed and said, "Do you think I'll tell you, Mister Xiao?"


"Can't it? At least treat my curiosity. You're not gonna miss anything by telling me anyway,"


"Master Xiao is completely different..." Wang Zhao snorted, "Although in this kind of situation you still don't show the expression I want to see the most."


Wang Zhao breathed slowly, "I actually want to say it. But I'm afraid you'd be so shocked that it's hard to believe this,"


"Current, what does-"


"Xiao Shuxiang." Wang Zhao looked at the young man before him and tonelessly said, "Xiao Shuxiang."


!!


"Wang Zhao, you want to die?" xiao Shuxiang's face darkened. A growl rang out as he said, "How dare you go to this Your Majesty?!"


"Didn't you remember this seal?"


Xiao Shuxiang gasped at Wang Zhao's sudden question. He again noticed the circle of seals in front of him and nodded, "Is he now trying to provoke me? Let me see how far you're going to go."


"I know you won't believe what I'm saying" Wang Zhao said. "After being betrayed, trust is lost. I know that thought of you. Take a good look at this circle of seals, you can't possibly forget the technique you created yourself."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang's eyes widened upon hearing the remark. He looked towards the circle of seals and said, "I've thought about it and after hearing your words... This is the seal of the resurrection. But the seal pattern is different. You--"


"The seal pattern is correct. It's a seal of the very first revival we've made,"


"What?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched. "We? Since when did you and I work-"


"Xiao Shuxiang, have you never asked how you can not have a heart demon in you? Or have you never thought about how Yinngxionng didn't hurt me at all?"


"What the fuck.." Xiao Shuxiang was obviously very surprised. His heartbeat was quick as if he heard something that somehow felt like a fact.


"The reason why you can't smell the lies from me, including using the Blood Control Technique against me is of course because I'm not a human, but rather a Devil of your Heart."


!!!


"Impossible..." Xiao Shuxiang stared intently at the figure before him and said, "Do you think toying with other people's thoughts is fun for you, Wang Zhao? I won't be affected by anything you say"


"Hmph, didn't I say that I was born from human hatred and greed?" Wang Zhao looked at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "In the day that you fought the cultivators of the third stream and used the Resurrection Force-that's when the grudge and greed of humans brought me birth."


Wang Zhao said, "My body was still not perfect and now it is the same. Once every few years... I had to replace the skin from this body until I actually found a suitable one. You're... Of course it's the most perfect choice."


!!!


Xiao Shuxiang was a figure before him and firmly said, "I am clearly different from you! You can't compare with His Majesty."


"Your instinct seems to be blunt after you've lived in an environment that doesn't suit your talents." Wang Zhao walked up and stood right behind Xiao Shuxiang's body.


His eyes were sharp as he half whispered to the young man. Wang Zhao said, "Besides you... I also came from over a hundred years ago. I still remember how Mu Zan betrayed me and my immense desire to tear his mouth apart,"


"Is he serious?!" Xiao Shuxiang tekajut's. He looked at Wang Zhao and without breathing softly as he nodded, "How does he know all these things? Even knowing about Mu Zan?! This guy is possible... Th-but..."


"Can't be left." Xiao Shuxiang said, "I won't accept it. He and his partner were clearly trying to manipulate my mind. He's very cunning,"
