HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
72 - The Palace of the Thousand Swords

In the Upper Cultivation Realm, there were five great sects other than the Cloud Sea Sect where Xiao Shuxiang was located. One of them is better known by the name of the Thousand Sword Palace.


The location is on a floating island. It was just that it was located far away from the Cloud Sea Sect. The term 'Stana' was actually not at all tied to a kingdom or a dynasty, it was nothing but an enormous grand hall.


Just like any college in general, in the Thousand Swords Palace also had its own leaders and students learn various secret techniques.


If the Cloud Sea Sect existed within the scope of the Middle Continent, then the Thousand Swords Palace was connected to the Eastern Continent.


The Upper Cultivation Realm honestly encompassed the Three Continents at once. The first were the Eastern Continent (Sun Empire), the Middle Continent (Heavenly Empire) and the Southern Continent (Dead Moon Empire). So you can imagine how big this place is.


The information about the Upper Cultivation Realm was not just that. In this place, other than cultivators with high-practice-beings who became other inhabitants were ferocious beasts, spirits and demons.


".........."


A large but majestic hand appeared to be stretched out and closed a book. Men with clear and charming eyes twinkle is difficult to see from the crevices of the leaves.


It was just that when he started to stand up and walk with the book in his hands, it appeared that he did indeed have an undeniable charm.


The white-robed man was around 25 years old and had a graceful self-esteem. The man had a face as bright as jade with clear eyes.


If the figure looks down, it will appear long eyelashes, rather thick and as if able to hide part of his face. As he lifted his head, he saw cold eyes.


The man in white robes had the shape of a nose and lips. A dangerous touch to his extremely handsome face. Not to mention his long hair that seemed to be wavy toying with the wind increasingly made him look perfect.


The white-robed man was the proud disciple of the Heaven-Lan Sword Sect Guan Zhi. The water flow pattern made of silver thread on his white robe and the forehead ribbon he wore was an identity that was already very recognizable to people, even if it was in the Upper Cultivation Realm.


".........."


Lan Guan Zhi had already been around five days living and studying in the Thousand Swords Palace. He was just like Ling Qing Zhu, namely getting an invitation to go to the Upper-Upper Cultivation Realm-of course the location of the college they were heading to was completely different.


"Yuan'Erb..."


A light voice made Lan Guan Zhi turn her head. He saw a mature, white-robed man with silver hair who appeared to be walking over towards him. The man looked like he was 37 years old and had a warm smile.


'Yuan' was the name of Lan Guan Zhi. Not many people knew this, maybe even Xiao Shuxiang.


Lan Xu Jian, who was her brother as well as the closest person to Lan Guan Zhi never even mentioned her small name. The person of his brother was not the same as this man. Lan Xu Jian was obviously the tipecal of big brother who liked the call of 'LanLan' to him rather than the others.


Rumor has it that Lan Xu Jian deliberately gave such a call to anger his sister, but in fact Lan Guan Zhi was never uncomfortable at all. Even the young man never bothered about it.


"Yuan'Er, did you read that book again?"


"Mn, I haven't finished reading it." Lan Guan Zhi looked at the book in his hand and showed the cover to the silver-haired man.


With a light outstretched hand, the man picked up the book Lan Guan Zhi gave him and then smiled gently. "I once told you that if you had any questions-you could just meet me right away. The information in this book is mostly old and no longer the same as the present reality,"


"No problem. I also need information from Uncle,"


"I... Getting two challenges today," Lan Guan Zhi said softly and made the man beside her flinch.


Jing Yufeng turned her head, she seemed like she had not expected to hear Lan Guan Zhi's words on this one. "really? Any students challenging you?"


"Mn, he said I was very arrogant."


Lan Guan Zhi actually never felt he had already exalted himself. After all, in the rules of his sect, it is strictly forbidden to behave in a high-minded manner.


Jing Yufeng smiled and appeared to be grunting quietly, she shook her head. "Heah... Kids love to look for trouble. They may be envious because you behave so well and do everything perfectly, which is why you are considered high-hearted."


"Uncle, my attitude is as usual."


"I know, but some people don't think so. You don't have to think too much about it, they're still immature."


"Mn, okay."


Lan Guan Zhi had indeed never thought of many things like this, after all he knew one person whose mischief was much worse when compared to the mischief of the disciples of the Thousand Sword Palace.


Lan Guan Zhi suddenly remembered something. He said, "It looks like I have to go back. There's a friend who needs help,"


"Yuan'Er...? You want to go to the library again? I can't even count the time you've spent in the library." Jing Yufen warned, "Reading is indeed very good, but you should also take the time to do something else."


"Mn, but this is more important. I'll take care of you, Uncle." Lan Guan Zhi saluted and made the man nearby flinch.


"Yuan'Er...?" Jing Yufeng was stunned, the white-robed figure with the forehead ribbon had already walked away first. He was seen smiling faintly, "Looking at him in such a hurry made me feel that my Yuan'Er was being attracted to a girl,"


Lan Guan Zhi was actually intending to go to the library and return to study the book on 'Seals'. But on the way, he was actually confronted by two young men dressed in white who were none other than the one who gave him the letter of challenge.


"Lan Guan Zhi, you're a real jerk. Do you think I was messing with what I said back then, huh?"


"........."


During the life of a Lan Guan Zhi, he had never heard such a harsh word addressed to him. But he can still act as calm as ever. It was just that it seemed like he was indeed unable to avoid the matter with these two young men before him.


The two people were named Jian Yang and Li Huanshou. Previously they were indeed famous as disciples who often made trouble in this Thousand Swords Palace.


Moreover, their behavior increasingly became after the Thousand Sword Palace the arrival of cultivators from the Lower Cultivation Realm. If only what they were facing was Xiao Shuxiang, they would most likely have been busy arguing.


Lan Guan Zhi had a firm stance, he was not easily swayed at the provocation of others. But that does not mean he will take it for granted when there are people with bad personalities like these two people. Jian Yang and Li Huanshou...


"Need to be punished."


"Huh?" Jian Yang frowned, he said sarcastically. "Lan Guan Zhi, you think this is where you live? In the Thousand Sword Palace, everyone paid their respects to me. You should be ashamed, your practice is only two levels below me but you are so very arrogant. Nauseate."
