HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]

HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
53 - Dao Fang

The arrow stuck at the edge of Nie Shang's carriage. Siu Yixin pulled out her sword and started fending off any dart slashes. 


Hu Li himself focused on smelling the enemy. After confirming the number of his opponents, he darted and helped Siu Yixin along with Nie Shang's bodyguards.


The fight was intense and tense. Nie Shang wanted to get off the carriage, but Siu Yixin forbade. 


Not only Nie Shang, but also the servants who were on the other carriage. The girls were frightened, they were seen hugging each other and occasionally shouting when their train car seemed to be hit by something.


Ahhh...!!


Hu Li managed to twist the hand of a robber and make him kneel. He said coldly, "Who are you?"


The robber did not answer. His other comrades attempted to free him by attacking Hu Li. But as they approached, the robber was immediately burned by the fox fire of the white-haired young man.


!!


"Damn it!" a swearing. Fortunately he could still anticipate it until the fire did not give him severe injuries, but one of his colleagues was completely charred by the fire attack.


"Tell me who you are or I won't be sad anymore?" Hu Li pulled the robber's hand until a crack was heard. The screams of pain grew and it shocked the other robbers.


"Demonics... He's a Demonic Beast...!!"


Hu Li flinched at the cry of one of his opponents. Indeed in the Middle Continent, a Demonic Beast like himself was the most hated being. 


They were as humiliating as Hu Li. 


There were no good Demonic Beasts in the eyes of most of the people in the Middle Continent. A figure like Hu Li was considered a disaster-carrying monster and had to be annihilated immediately.


"It seems that you guys really like robbing," Hu Li's hair color turned red accompanied by fox fire coming out in both hands. "Then, I'm not afraid anymore..."


!!


There were about 12 robbers who confronted Nie Shang's carriage. They had been aiming for the train for a long time and had been planning an ambush when the Nie Shang train was on its way home.


The robbers initially only saw Siu Yixin as a formidable person among the Nie Shang bodyguards, yet somehow there was someone like Hu Li who was also in the entourage. Before this, the young man had never seen.


Actually not only was Nie Shang intercepted by the herd of robbers, but the carriage of a Young Master like himself also became a target. This was because people seemed to look weaker, yet carried many precious objects.


Hu Li and Siu Yixin did not hold back, although the two of them faced were robbers who were experts in the element of Inner Power. They fought fiercely in the dark of the night and it did not take long until some of the robbers were killed and some decided to flee.


Unfortunately, Hu Li was a little similar to his Young Master Xiao. He would not release an enemy that knew of his identity as a Demonic Beast. Hu Li chased after and killed them all even though his actions were not as terrible as Xiao Shuxiang used to do.


Not all trains can end up as safe as Nie Shang's. The robbers actually had a large group and had been guarding along the mountain road. Yun Qiao Yue herself was aware of their presence, but did not say anything, including giving a warning.


The one reason Yun Qiao Yue did not take any action was because of his indifference to humans who were considered not to be on the same level as him.


She might look like a gentle and kind girl and considerate, but it seemed that Yun Qiao Yue's nature was very different. It would be terrifying to be close to such a girl, she was clearly capable of trapping others.

The time in the Upper Cultivation Realm was not much different from the one in the Middle Sky Empire, this was indeed because those realms still had a close relationship with the Human World.


Xiao Shuxiang actually woke up in the morning. He who has a habit is very difficult to wake up for the first time took the initiative to get out of bed first.


Xiao Shuxiang could only focus on sensing the Qi in this place. Really, he was amazed because the Qi in this Cloud Sea Sect was so pure. He certainly did not want to waste the opportunity.


Xiao Shuxiang sat down cross-legged and focused on absorbing the Qi from nature. It's just that even though the Dantian is filled-Seals wrapped around his body are getting stronger. His practice had not changed at all, remaining at the 5th level of Forging Qi.


There were no clothes like that in this place. Xiao Shuxiang walked over and found a paper with a writing that said that the clothes were the uniforms he had to wear.


"That put it must be Old Bangka, but I could not have realized he was coming here. Whereas Old Bangka was only a novice cultivator whose level of practice was not much different from Nie Shang and Mo Huai."


This place was indeed strange, yet Xiao Shuxiang had come not to investigate the secrets in the Upper Cultivation Realm. He was in this place was because of his White Cat and a mission that he had decided for himself.


Xiao Shuxiang did not take long to clean himself up and put on the uniform that Dao Fang An had previously prepared. 


He wrapped a wide band around his wrist to cover his sleeves. Xiao Shuxiang slightly covered his hands and then started tying his hair with a long red ribbon.


Xiao Shuxiang slipped his White Jade Flute on the waist belt he was wearing. He picked up his boots and immediately came out of the bamboo hut. The vegetable basket he had brought in yesterday was no longer visible, it seemed like the Old Bangka had already picked it up early in the morning.


All the old man left behind was a wooden token that read, 'Dao Fang An'. Xiao Shuxiang felt it was abandoned for him, so he took it.


It just so happened that when Xiao Shuxiang had been outside the hut-he noticed there were about 9 people dressed all in white, but with the same model as hers. He also recognized one person among them who was Mo Huai. In addition, there were 6 people who still did not stand on their respective rows.


"Hey, You...! Come here...!" Dao Fang An exclaimed when he saw Xiao Shuxiang. He caught the attention of the humans in front of him.


Mo Huai followed Dao Fang An's line of sight and gasped when he found out that the one the old man was calling out was none other than a familiar figure.


Of course Mo Huai's thin smile was visible. He was happy that it was evident that Xiao Shuxiang was also in this place. He didn't need to be nervous, let alone afraid.


"He's..."


"Xiao... Shuxiang?"


Dao Fang An heard the muttering of several young men before him. He frowned when he saw the look on their faces that looked surprised, some even looked pale. It felt as if the Wild Boy he summoned just now was a death angel to these young people.


"Two Bangka, can't you be a little more polite?" Xiao Shuxiang cursed when he was near Dao Fang An. Naturally, he took a standing position that was parallel to the other youths.


"You want me to be polite, but you still call me 'Tua Bangka'. Do you think that's a polite speech?"


"Well, what do you want me to call you? Because if I call you 'Grandfather', you'll definitely protest and say that you're not married to my grandmother."


Dao Fang An flinched and next he laughed instead. Indeed, when compared to these young people - only the figure of Xiao Shuxiang who dared to reply to his every remark without hesitation. The young man even dared to call him 'Tua Bangka'.


"Why are you laughing? You startled me," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest. He turned his head as he felt something strange, "Why are you standing like you're keeping your distance from me? Do I look like I'm gonna eat people?"


!!


The young men whose cultivation practice was below that level 5 Forging Qi seemed to shake their heads. They were nervous and did not dare to look at Xiao Shuxiang. Most likely, only Mo Huai was ordinary because he knew Xiao Shuxiang well.


"Hey...! Did I scare you that?" Xiao Shuxiang did not accept, "Don't stand that far, come closer...!"


"Necessary. I-I'm just here,"


"N-no,"


Xiao Shuxiang snorted, "Excellent.." he clucked a few times before calling Mo Huai to stand beside him.


Mo Huai gasped, but immediately nodded. He walked over and stood right beside Xiao Shuxiang. Instantly, the views of the young men led to him.


Dao Fang An shook his head, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang and said. "I think you're a troublemaker at your place. Their faces all explained it,"


"Ah... Seems like. So I think you should start being careful, Old Grandpa. It could have been that I made you look worse than them," Xiao Shuxiang slightly smiled.
