Li Xiang the Immortal
80 - Mysterious Youth

"Elder.." a young man who had just entered the room was shocked to see the Elder in his sect lying on the floor with a lot of blood. He saw a teenage boy near his teacher, "You.." Without further ado, he immediately ran towards Li Xiang and hit him until the teenager fell down.

Li Xiang regained his senses from his daydream as his body fell to the floor. He looked up, looking at the person in the same clothes as what the man he had just killed was wearing.

The young man was startled when he saw Li Xiang's red-colored eyes, "You must have used a demonic cultivation technique," he directly pulled the sword hanging on his waist and pointed it at Li Xiang with an angry expression. "Do you have the last word?"

Li Xiang simply stared at the tip of the sword that was now directed at him, "Sorry..." He said with an empty look.

The sword shot up, ready to stab the teenager's body.

The place turned dark. There was no visible light. Very dark.

"What's going on?" Murmured a young man. It was Lin Hao. Ever since, he had seen all the past that Li Xiang remembered. He could also feel all the feelings that Li Xiang felt at that moment. It was actually too painful for her to feel how all those feelings were. He wants all of this to be over soon.

Lin Hao was actually very surprised when he saw Li Xiang's eyes turn red. Though he saw for himself that Li Xiang did not use demonic cultivation. Let alone demon cultivation, Li Xiang alone rarely cultivated. Most of these memories he had just seen. "What at this moment, he.. was murdered?"

The originally dark place had now turned into a burning settlement. Li Xiang was currently lying in front of those many settlements. The sky looks dark.

The teenager opened his eyes slowly. There was a lot of blood on his clothes at the moment. There was a young man crouching beside her, yet his current form was transparent.

"Hai~ have you realized?" Said the young man with a smile. He has a handsome face with golden eyes.

Li Xiang was surprised. He reflexively sat down and slightly dragged his body backwards, "Who are you?"

"Don't be afraid like that. I'm just 'close' here. But it turns out things are already like this."

"Huh?" Li Xiang did not seem to understand. However he felt wary when he saw the young man, "You're one of those sect people?"

"Ah, of course not. I'm not on anyone's side."

Li Xiang suddenly remembered his father and Yan Cheng, "Father and Brother Cheng!" he immediately stood up and was about to go back into the settlement. He came to a standstill when he saw a huge blaze burning down the residence of the Li clan. "Sir Cheng?!"

Not yet Li Xiang stepped back, the voice of the young man was again heard, "Everyone who was inside there is dead. Even before the fire burned it. You saw it for yourself."

Li Xiang glanced back, "There's no way Brother Cheng was either. Before I left, he was still fighting with them. Don't make it there!"

"You don't see? If only he was alive, would he be able to get out of there? The fire is huge. If he hadn't died from being attacked, he might have been burned to death by the fire. You better get away from there. It was possible that there would be many people coming to this place after seeing that fire. So you better leave, before anyone sees you and kills you 'again'."

Li Xiang did not listen to the young man's words. He clenched his hands with mixed feelings. There was sadness, anger, and feeling helpless. He could not protect the two remaining people he cared about. Why would something like this happen to her? Why do bad things always follow? Does he not deserve happiness?

"If so, what am I here for? If they're gone, I'd rather die with them." Li Xiang fell down. Again he could only cry seeing one by one the people beside him who left him.

"Looks like you're not leaving here huh? Though people might come here soon before the fire also burns the surrounding forest. You could die if they saw any of the Li clan people alive." Say that young man again.

Li Xiang did not reply.

"Hah~ is so stubborn. Look, I've even seen my dead people a lot. More than you. Many of them died at the hands of the devil.

But do you think crying over them all day will make them live again? I'll explain something before I 'go'."

"Before that, we get out of here first." The young man flicked his finger and instantly, Li Xiang was with him in a forest with a lake beside him.

The young man walked around Li Xiang to be in front of him. After being in front of the teenager, he crouched down and wiped the remaining tears on Li Xiang's cheeks. The teenager was silent with eyes that showed sadness.

"You should have died earlier. You remember, someone stabbed you in the heart at the time?"

Li Xiang was stunned. Thinking too much about his father and bodyguards, he forgot about it. That young man was right. He should have been dead and he should have been in his father's room. But why did he arrive here?

"Why then. am I still alive?"

The young man lowered his hand from Li Xiang's face after there were no tears left on his face, "Actually not dead. But you were dying earlier and almost died. But I instantly 'cured you' and closed your wound before it happened. It was fortunate that the person who stabbed you had already left at that moment and left you there. So no one saw my whereabouts. I've seen everything that's happened through your memories."

"He can see someone's memories?! How-to? How is it the same as me?" Mumbled Lin Hao. "Who is he really? Ever since I saw him through these memories, I feel a little claustrophobic."

In the real world...

"Huh?! What did you say?!" Shocked Xiao Xing Fu after hearing what Li Xiang said.

Li Xiang was currently sitting on top of a closed coffin, "He was unwilling to get up last night. If I put him in the crate, he'll probably wake up." Said relaxed.

"You want brother Lin dead?!" Xiao Xing Fu directly pulled Li Xiang's hand to keep him away from the top of the chest.

"Heh, what are you doing? Why pull me like that?!" Pissed Li Xiang.

Xiao Xing Fu instantly opened the coffin and saw Lin Hao inside. He also checked his pulse and immediately sighed when he knew that Lin Hao was still alive. But his breathing seemed a little unstable. He felt like he was short of breath, "It's good that I came here. Otherwise, maybe Brother Lin is dead and the cause is a stupid brat. The patriarch will definitely be angry."

"Huh?! Whatdidyou say?! You said I was a stupid kid, huh?!" Li Xiang was seen to be unaccepted by a boy whose age even differed greatly from his.

"But now I don't feel claustrophobic anymore." Mumbled Lin Hao who was still looking at Li Xiang's memories. "What's going on?"

"Remember me?" Li Xiang repeated the speech of the young man in front of him after being silent for a while.

"Yes," he paused, "You're as it says."

"said? What do you mean I'm a son of a bitch? Do you think what they say is true?" Li Xiang spoke slowly.

"Not that. But you're just like you said. Two souls and two opposite natures."

"What do you mean?"

"Two souls? Two natures?" Mumbled Lin Hao, "What does it mean that he is two souls in one body? But how is it possible?"

"It could be said, you're like having 2 souls in one body. But your soul has the opposite nature to your other soul. You are a holy soul. While the other soul is an alien soul that should not be in you. It's the devil's soul."
