XIAO SHUXIANG'S

108 - Advantages of Learning Alchemists [Revised]

CRAASH!

Tuk

!!

One among the two Blood Skull Sect cultivators had to lose his life due to Lan Guan Zhi's flying sword. Now, only one person was left from the Blood Skull Sect.

"Damn it! Damn, Goddamnit..! What am I supposed to do now?! I will definitely die being killed by those boys!!"

The Blood Skull Sect Cultivator gritted his teeth, he cursed for not carrying more provisions.

His poison supply was depleted from three days ago and he was not sure he could defend against eight children at once.

"I should be able to escape and report to the Elder. Children should be removed before they grow up. Otherwise, they would definitely be a danger to us..!"

?!

The Blood Skull Sect cultivator slightly gasped when he saw a young boy who was walking alone. From his clothes, the boy was like a friend of the eight children chasing after him.

Immediately, he darted and caught the boy from behind.

!!

Feng Ying was startled when someone touched her shoulder and attached a sharp sword to her neck.

Feng Ying had actually just woken up from sleep. He did not see Yi Wen or Xiao Shuxiang in the room they were in. Feng Ying was afraid of being left alone, she then ran and looked for Yi Wen and Xiao Shuxiang.

Fortunately, there was one of the villagers who took a walk at night. He told Feng Ying that he saw Xiao Shuxiang and Yi Wen. Feng Ying immediately headed to the designated place of the citizen.

On the way, Feng Ying could sense something strange. His little heart said, Xiao Shuxiang and Yi Wen are in danger.

He then followed his heart and even reached this forest. However, when he was about to hasten his pace-he was instantly thrust upon by a sword by an unknown stranger.

!!

Lan Guan Zhi, Xiao Lu and Qi Xuan were shocked when the cultivator they were chasing turned out to be holding a small child hostage. And that is...

"Feng Ying?!" Xiao Lu was further shocked when the one being held hostage by the Blood Skull Sect cultivator was Feng Ying, his brother.

Tap

Tap

Xiao Shuxiang, Jing Mi and the others had just arrived. They were also surprised to see Feng Ying along with the Blood Skull Sect cultivators.

"You Coward! How Dare to Make Kids Hostages!!" Zong Ming pointed at the cultivator in front of him, "There shouldn't be a cultivator using this kind of cunning means..!"

"Take my brother off now!!" Jing Mi was inflamed, she was intending to dart and fight against the Blood Skull Sect cultivators, but those cultivators immediately posed a threat.

"If you attack, I'll make sure this boy loses his head..!"

!!

The Blood Skull Sect Cultivator smirked. Although the children in front of him were talented, they were still too innocent of knowing this Cruel World.

Jing Mi, Qi Xuan, Yi Wen and Xiao Lu gnashed their teeth while tightly grasping their swords. If they attacked, then Feng Ying's life would be at stake.

"Mother.." Feng Ying's eyes were watery, this was her first experience of being a hostage. He looked up, a ferocious face and a murderous look in the eyes of the person behind him.

"Mother..." Feng Ying looked at her friends, she was afraid of not being able to meet them again.

"Tsk, This Is Why I Don't Like Him Coming. See, Right? Now He's Our Burden..!" Xiao Shuxiang became furious.

He looked at Feng Ying and cursed her, "Why don't you stay inside the Village Chief's house? If only you weren't here, we might have already slashed the cultivator's neck. Everything's your fault!"

"Brother Xiao, you don't blame Ying'Er. He's a kid and knows nothing.." Jing Mi tried to calm Xiao Shuxiang down, she gently rubbed her back.

Feng Ying was crying because Xiao Shuxiang was blaming her. His cries suddenly came to a halt as the Blood Skull Sect cultivator gnashed at him.

"If you want this boy to survive, drop your weapons immediately and walk slowly here..!" The Blood Skull Sect cultivator had a plan to kill all eight children in front of him as they walked slowly towards him.

Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu looked at each other, both of whom were worried about what to do. Taking a slow breath, Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu began to drop his sword.

The actions of the two of them made the Blood Skull Sect cultivator grin, moreover he saw Jing Mi, Wen Tian and Zong Ming also coming down their swords.

"Good, then you three. Drop your swords!" the Blood Skull Sect cultivator told Xiao Shuxiang, Yi Wen and Lan Guan Zhi as only the three of them had yet to drop the sword.

For Lan Guan Zhi himself, he dropped the sword tucked in his waist, but kept holding one sword the other.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Yi Wen and Lan Guan Zhi, he then ducked down to put his sword on the ground so carefully.

Xiao Shuxiang picked up a bit of grass as he put down his sword and he quickly did something unexpected to the Blood Skull Sect cultivator or his friends.

!!

The soft grass pierced sharply right into Feng Ying's chest to make her heart and breath stop instantly.

The Blood Skull Sect cultivator along with Xiao Shuxiang's friends were so shocked. Moreover, after they saw Feng Ying with eyes still open, it appeared to be emitting thick blood at both corners of her lips.

"You Killed Him?!" the Demon Skull Sect cultivator could feel the child he was holding was no longer alive.

bruccous

"Feng Ying's..." Jing Mi and Xiao Lu felt like their hearts had stopped beating, they saw Feng Ying's body being dropped by a Blood Skull Sect cultivator.

With a pale face, Jing Mi, Qi Xuan and Yi Wen stared towards Xiao Shuxiang. They didn't believe his brother could do that.

Qi Xuan, "Sa-Brother Xiao... Wh-what have you done?"

Jing Mi, "Why did you kill Feng Ying..?"

"Now you don't have any more hostages, do you? You don't have any more protection." Xiao Shuxiang glanced at Lan Guan Zhi as if gesturing to her.

Quickly, Lan Guan Zhi attacked the Blood Skull Sect cultivators. He made the cultivator move away from Feng Ying.

Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and the others immediately approached Feng Ying. While inspecting his brother's body, Feng Ying was completely not breathing, even her body was so cold.

"Ying'Er's? Ying'Er, let's get up.. Feng Ying.!"'s..!" Xiao Lu patted Feng Ying's cheeks softly, he then hugged her so tightly.

Jing Mi held tightly onto Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder and slightly shook it. "Why Are You Doing This, Brother...?!"

"Xiao 'Er... What have you done?!" Xiao Lu could not help but cry, he stared in disbelief at his younger brother, Xiao Shuxiang.

"Don't look at me like that, move aside." Xiao Shuxiang approached and told Xiao Lu to give her some space.

He plucked out the grass that was stuck in Feng Ying's chest, instantly Feng Ying's breath seemed to be drawn upwards. Xiao Lu and the others were startled, they immediately checked back on Feng Ying's state.

"Mother..."

Xiao Lu and Yi Wen were surprised to hear Feng Ying calling her mother. His brother's body was not cold anymore, they were so happy and relieved that Feng Ying was fine.

Zong Ming, "Brother Xiao? What did you do to Feng Ying earlier?"

Xiao Shuxiang, "That is one of the advantages of learning Alchemist. I explained it too, you will not understand. We'd better take care of Lan Guan Zhi, come on..!"

*

*

Lan Guan Zhi had just finished slashing the neck of the Blood Skull Sect cultivator. He was aware of the arrival of Xiao Shuxiang and the others.

Xiao Shuxiang then invited them all to rest at the Village Chief's house. Along the way, Jing Mi recounted her experiences fighting in the village across.

".. Demonic Beasts over there, they are huge in size..! And when we're done, we're here as soon as we can."

Hearing Jing Mi's story, made Xiao Shuxiang convinced that someone was working on her. As she asked about Sian Ru's whereabouts, Jing Mi said the girl was on another mission.

"Sian Ru who asked us to look for you, she looks very worried."

?

Xiao Shuxiang and Yi Wen looked at each other, what did Jing Mi just say? Sian Ru was worried about them..?

Xiao Shuxiang, "No way, isn't he the one who set us up?!"

Yi Wen nodded in agreement, "Sian Run is not a good girl and always gets us into trouble in the Sky Sword Sect. You guys didn't realize it?"

"That's where it might happen," Jing Mi was in disbelief. "So long he treated me well. I've never seen him insult anyone including my other friends."

Jing Mi, "Indeed, when we were accused of breaking the rules. Sian Ru never defended us at all, but that doesn't mean she's a bad girl."

Not wanting to argue, Jing Mi directly discussed about her success in finding a suitable place to build the Butterfly Sect.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I have better news. We found a suitable place to build our new sect. The place is around Mount Induk. Young Master Lan helped me." Jing Mi was so happy.

Yi Wen flinched, "Really?!"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled. "Good, it means stay tell Grandpa."

"You sure you want to build a 'Secte'?" Qi Xuan was actually unwilling to lower his brother's spirit, but he had to say this.

Xiao Shuxiang, "What do you mean?"

Qi Xuan, "Brother Xiao. The new Butterfly Sect could be recognized if it had a minimum of fifty disciples and stood in its own territory. That's.."

Xiao Shuxiang, "You're right. Even the territory we will occupy still belongs to the Sky Sword Sect and grandfather disciples are indeed not up to ten people, but all of that is not a problem. We need a place to stay now and to recruit disciples, let Brother Jing do it."

?!

"Sa-Brother Xiao, why should I?!"

"The others will help you."

Yi Wen patted Jing Mi on the back, comforting her brother by saying that she and her other siblings would come to help.

Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu also volunteered. Although they were now in another sect, but the Butterfly Sect was their true home.

"I'm sorry to ruin your time. but..."

Jing Mi, Qi Xuan and the others turned their heads towards Wen Tian as the child spoke. They realized that there was a child who was foreign to them.

"You.... who...?" Yi Wen looked at Wen Tian from top to bottom.

"God. I know them all, but they don't know me."

Wen Tian inwardly stroked the chest. As long as he was in the Sky Sword Sect, he had always been close to the disciples of the Butterfly Sect. Although only occasionally greet with them.

But at least these children knew his face, weren't they too young to be senile?!

"He's Wen Tian, the kid I met at the Village Rest. He's one of my friends, you guys should get along with him..!" Xiao Shuxiang looked happy to introduce Wen Tian, but not so with Wen Tian himself.

Yi Wen, Jing Mi and Xiao Lu were ooh ria. They did not care about Xiao Shuxiang meeting Wen Tian where, but it was clear that his brother knew this child named Wen Tian.

"So, what do you want to say, Brother Wen?" Jing Mi embraced Wen Tian. His larger, muscular body made Wen Tian gulp. He felt that he was being embraced by a ferocious Demonic Beast.

Wen Tian nervously said, "W-will you-can't afford to build a sect without capital. You guys have to buy territory in the Sky Sword Sect, you can't just build it right away."

"If the problem..! It's been resolved long ago. You have precious assets," Xiao Shuxiang pointed to himself, his Alchemist abilities will be very useful in the future development of the Butterfly Sect.
