XIAO SHUXIANG'S

130 - Are You Betraying Me? [Revision]

The conversation between Xiao Shuxiang and his eight companions with the Grand Elder as well as the two Patriarchs of the Silver Bamboo Sect resulted in a deal.

The Butterfly Sect would help rebuild the Silver Bamboo Sect if the sect promised to become the most loyal reinforcements to the Butterfly Sect, the, and also promised to follow all the rules set by Xiao Shuxiang.

It indeed sounded like the Butterfly Sect did not give any freedom to the Silver Bamboo Sect and as if it was suppressing them.

However, this deal was approved because the Grand Elder of the Silver Bamboo Sect knew that brother Yang Fu was in the Butterfly Sect.

There would be no problem happening if they were to bind a relationship with an emperor that was so favored by the people of the Northern Continent.

Yang Fu could not hold back his tears, it had been a very long time that he had parted with his brother, Yang Shu. Somehow now the situation of his brother.

"... For now, you can stay at our place. Two of my friends will carry some flying swords you can use." Xiao Shuxiang asked Hai Feng and Jing Mi to go to the Branch of the Peacock Stork Association to buy a flying sword.

"... Ro Wei, you're coming with them too."

Ro Wei nodded in understanding when he heard Xiao Shuxiang say, he then caught up with Jing Mi and Hai Feng.

Xiao Shuxiang asked for permission to help the injured disciples of the Silver Bamboo Sect. He was then ushered in by one of the Patriarchs of the Silver Bamboo Sect.

While walking around, Xiao Shuxiang gasped as Yi Wen pulled her right arm and whispered something to her.

Xiao Shuxiang's forehead wrinkled, he then looked at Yi Wen and asked if this friend of his did not mispronounce. Merely, Yi Wen was so serious and very confident in his words.

Xiao Shuxiang's face changed, he clenched his right hand and said he would overcome this when they came home later.

In the afternoon, Jing Mi, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu returned with a spatial ring containing 23 flying swords. They bought those weapons in the association branch that existed in the Rising Sun Empire.

After obtaining their respective flying swords, the disciples of the Silver Bamboo Sect as well as the Grand Elder and their two Patriarchs immediately darted towards the Butterfly Sect.

They arrived after five days. It was quite a while indeed, as they had to stop several times to give the disciples of the Silver Bamboo Sect a break.

Zong Ming and Zhi Shu were actually feeling uneasy, both of them thinking about Xiao Lu's state. Being left behind for too long made them imagine a bad thing. What if Xiao Lu was tortured or even already..

"Don't worry. If they kidnap a chatty girl, it means there's something they want. I'm sure he'll be fine" Xiao Shuxiang calmed Zong Ming and Zhi Shu.

Xiao Shuxiang asked the two to go to their respective rooms, as it was time to sleep.

Xiao Shuxiang then walked around the building where Yang Shu lived, he headed to one of the rooms which was Ro Wei's room.

Inside the room, Ro Wei was folding a piece of paper and stuffing two gold-colored pills into a small cloth bag.

Not long after, a blackish-gray owl perched on Ro Wei's bedroom window.

He directly draped the small pouch into the owl's neck and tied the paper he had written on the bird's feet.

Only, Ro Wei had not yet finished tying the paper at the foot of the bird... A small needle shot out and hit one eye of the owl, making it fall with feathers that were instantly purple-black.

!!

Ro Wei was surprised, the needle was poisonous. As he turned his head, how surprised he was when he realized that behind him was someone standing and it turned out to be Xiao Shuxiang.

"Sa-Brother Xiao...? W-What are you doing here...?"

Ro Wei tried to look calm, but her tone and the look in her eyes could not lie to Xiao Shuxiang.

"Ro Wei's... What are you doing these nights..? I saw you, you seem to be busy..."

Xiao Shuxiang walked towards Ro Wei and stopped while he was in front of the window of Ro Wei's room.

"Hm.. The moon is not visible from here.." Xiao Shuxiang stared at the sky, his gaze then sidetracked at the owl that had been killed by its poisonous needles.

Ro Wei tried to resist the trembling in his body even though it was in vain. His face looked pale and his heart was beating so fast, he... Terrified.

Xiao Shuxiang let out his little blue flame.. The fire floated and raised the carcass of the bird that had been killed so that Xiao Shuxiang could hold it.

He then took the paper that was at the foot of the owl and read its contents. Surprisingly enough, the paper contains numbers.. A secret message known only to the sender and the recipient.

Xiao Shuxiang stared at the numbers inside the paper and began to understand what was written. He then looked at Ro Wei with a faint smile.

"Sa-Brother Xiao, I.. I-i'm.."

Ro Wei did not realize his feet were stepping back, he did not know what to explain to Xiao Shuxiang, as it looked like his brother was so angry.

"Ro Wei's.. Xiao Shuxiang is waiting for an explanation from you.."

"Brother Xiao.." Ro Wei could not continue, his lips feeling faint.

Xiao Shuxiang warned Ro Wei not to test his patience. He said he was not a person with a lot of patience.

"... Who do you want to report the development of our sect to, Ro Wei?" Xiao Shuxiang asked again, yet Ro Wei only continued to mention Xiao Shuxiang's name nervously.

Immediately, Xiao Shuxiang darted and gripped Ro Wei's neck. His movements were so sudden, even Ro Wei was shocked.

"Are You Betraying Me?!"

Ro Wei was having trouble breathing, she was just shedding tears and trying to apologize to Xiao Shuxiang.

Braak!

Xiao Shuxiang threw Ro Wei until his body hit the table, he disliked a traitor the most.

Ro Wei coughed while holding his neck, looking red marks from Xiao Shuxiang's grip.

"You better tell me, who told you to betray Xiao Shuxiang?!"

"Sa-Brother Xiao, I-I can't say it.." Ro Wei cried, her body trembled, she felt depressed and so frightened.

"Can't say it..?"

Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he heard from Yi Wen that Ro Wei was acting strangely lately. In fact, when they attacked the Demon Wolf Sect.. Ro Wei only slightly injured cultivators without any intention to kill them.

Xiao Shuxiang took a closer look at the carcass of the owl he had killed, he then muttered something and walked towards Ro Wei.

Xiao Shuxiang told Ro Wei to take out his tongue, his words made Ro Wei surprised.

"Aren't you going to follow my orders, too? Quickly get your tongue out or I'll force you to take it out..!"

!!

Ro Wei was so nervous, he slowly opened his mouth and took out his tongue as Xiao Shuxiang had ordered.

Surprisingly enough, on Ro Wei's tongue was a small skull-shaped seal.

Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands together, he had already guessed the owner of the owl he killed, and the seal on Ro Wei's tongue corroborated his conjecture.

"The Blood Skull Sect..!" Xiao Shuxiang gritted his teeth, he immediately left Ro Wei with an annoyed face.

Just when he was outside, Xiao Shuxiang immediately boarded his flying sword and darted away into the Black Stream region.

On a mountain that has a height similar to the Mother Mountain, but looks as black as night from a distance, and when approached turns blood red.

The famous mountain in the Middle Sun Empire, the Mountain of Corpse Piles. It was called that because the scent on this mountain was like a rotting corpse.

To go to the Mountain of Corpse Piles took a maximum of ten days at a moderate speed, while for a high speed it only took five or even three days.

One of the places in the middle of the Pile of Corpses Mountain, was located deep in the depths of the forest... There are five buildings made of black stone.

One of the three-storied buildings, and having a much larger size than the other buildings was the residence of the Grand Elder family of the Blood Skull Sect.

Xiao Shuxiang was seen floating in the air with a sword that started cracking at his feet. Fortunately the location of the Blood Skull Sect had not changed at all.

"It's been a long time.. But I didn't come here to reminisce.." Xiao Shuxiang's eyes turned red, black smoke billowed under his feet and rose enveloping his body.

Immediately, Xiao Shuxiang darted into the largest building with incredible speed.
