XIAO SHUXIANG'S

171 - Road Home [Revised]

Mu Zan could not hold on anymore, he repeatedly bounced and hit the floor of the arena which had long since turned into pieces.

Elsewhere, Keyi Fen had already felt death three times. He was now unable to fight Lan Guan Zhi who had risen to the level of practice.

Dai Chen, Hu Li, and Jing Mi had already tried their best. They now left the rest to Lan Guan Zhi and Siu Yixin, though in the end.. Lan Guan Zhi who attacked more.

Keyi Fen's body was cut into five pieces, he could not live anymore.

Lan Guan Zhi sheathed his sword, he was still able to stand up with a dignified aura, even though his strength was already barely remaining.

The look on his face still showed calmness, he looked at his friends who were currently leaning on with gasps.

Mo Huai and Duan De came out from behind the furnace, only this place was resilient from the stray attacks of Keyi Fen, Lan Guan Zhi, and the others. Both had wounds to their heads and arms, but they were not serious.

Mo Huai ran over and checked the condition of Siu Yixin who was lying down, he tried to lift her up and bring her to lean on where Dai Chen, Jing Mi, and Hu Li were.

Lan Guan Zhi was intending to take a step, but his body was shrewd, it was fortunate that Duan De immediately held him back.

"You're getting taller," Lan Guan Zhi felt Duan De's body was already as tall as a 7-year-old.

"really? But my beard still remains longer than my own body," Duan De laughed as he helped Lan Guan Zhi walk.

The fight had finished at the place of his friends, Xiao Shuxiang was also like he was going to settle his problem with Mu Zan.

Many limbs scattered, blood everywhere, the sound of roaring and hoarse cries rang out. Mu Zan was completely unable to recuperate anymore.

"How about, Mu Zan? You must have never felt this, right? You do it often to your food. Now it's.. You must know how sick they feel.." Xiao Shuxiang had long resisted his desire to do something this crazy.

Hearing the heartbreaking cries and pleas for mercy from the man who betrayed her, who poisoned her and assaulted her until she fell into the sea to the point of almost making her lose her life was an unbearable pleasure.

".. I wonder, why would you dare betray me? It can't be just because of that sword, right? Come answer..!" Xiao Shuxiang firmly gripped Mu Zan's head hair and pulled it.

Mu Zan's face really looked terrifying, in front of death.. He still had time to laugh softly even though he had to cough and vomit blood.

".. Te.. Of course for.. Saving this continent" he coughed back in blood and tried to talk again.

".. You want to destroy the eastern continent.. But I want to master it.. Our goals are different.."

"So that's why you betrayed me? Your reasons are ridiculous..! It's not that, is it? What's.. You see something..?!" Xiao Shuxiang stared coldly at Mu Zan and continued to urge him to speak.

Mu Zan whose breathing was already thinning, was still able to smile. "really.. I saw it.."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's countenance changed upon hearing Mu Zan's words, his eyes darkened, "Where did you see him? How many have you seen?!"

There was anxiety as well as anger that enveloped Xiao Shuxiang's current feelings. He asked so coldly whether Mu Zan was telling the thing he had seen to others or not.

The blood that came out of Mu Zan's body more and more, he was still trying to speak even though his voice was getting slower and his eyes began to lose light.

"Tetuaku's.. Knows.."

Xiao Shuxiang felt that Mu Zan was going to die, he was pouring his Qi on Mu Zan's body so that his opponent could survive even for a few moments.

"You haven't let me out of this place, so I don't want you to die right now."

Mu Zan did not speak anymore, his body was already very sick and was growing as Xiao Shuxiang drained his Qi.

Xiao Shuxiang used a Spirit Tamer spell on Mu Zan, he finally knew how to get out of this place.

Lan Guan Zhi and his companions gasped as Xiao Shuxiang walked out of void space carrying Mu Zan's head.

Xiao Shuxiang directly threw Mu Zan's head into the wall and laid his body on the floor.

"Heah.. This is so weird.. I can remember the spell from the jade slip I destroyed with a single read, but memorizing the rules of the Sky Sword Sect is so very difficult. Even I've read it a hundred times, still only two to three I can remember.." Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead, he heard the sound of footsteps and the cry of his friends.

"Brother Xiao, are you okay?!"

"Well, as you can see, Brother Jing. What about you guys? Hm, good, your limbs are still complete." Xiao Shuxiang slowly sat down, he saw many wounds on the bodies of his friends.

They rested for about two hours. Xiao Shuxiang asked Duan De about the handle of his Night Star sword, the heirloom had apparently come into being and was already in the hands of one of the Upper Pillars.

"Why do you have to make it for them, Grandpa?" Xiao Shuxiang scratched his head in frustration, it was certain that the Upper Pillars of the Scarlet Shadow and its GrandElder would wreak havoc.

Duan De said so that Xiao Shuxiang would not have to worry, the power of the sword was not the same as before, even the sword was now at the level of an Earth Heirloom.

".. They didn't give me the main ingredient of making the Night Star Sword, so the sword is weaker than the Sky Heirloom, you take it easy."

"Swimming? Old Grandpa, you've lived for over 200 years, you should know this.. Any heirloom will be dangerous if it is in the right hands. And you need to remember, they know the Forbidden Technique. Youunderstand?"

Xiao Shuxiang was able to think about what could happen in the future. It is not impossible that the earth heirloom made by Duan De will be able to be developed into a Heavenly Heritage when using the Forbidden Technique.

".. and they're still after me,"

"If what you're saying is true, then we have to stop it. Where is the Upper Pillars' headquarters?"

Hu Li shook his head, he answered Jing Mi's question by saying that the Upper Pillars do not live on this island. They were in the Eastern Continent, but their existence was hard to tell.

"It's best not now, we're not strong enough to fight them."

"Dai Chen is right.. No need to search, they will definitely come alone. Let me see how brave they are to show me the face in front of me." Xiao Shuxiang turned his head back as their initial floor to arrive at this place started to re-form and slowly moved down.

Xiao Shuxiang and his friends felt that the time had come for them to leave. The floor continued to descend carrying Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, Duan De, and the others. Below, there was already Shao Nu waiting for their arrival.

Besides Lan Guan Zhi, Duan De, and Mo Huai.. Their other friend's clothes were so very bad, full of sword incisions and also blood.

Their wounds had already healed from consuming the pill from Xiao Shuxiang, but their manpower and mentality was drained a lot.

"Senior, thank you."

Shao Nu bowed and saluted Xiao Shuxiang, he handed over the little blue flame he cupped but Xiao Shuxiang refused.

"Save it, let my little friend be with you for a while. He can free you from the curse seal your guest gave you,"

The little blue flame in Shao Nu's hand entered and was stored within his body, close to his dantian. He returned to thank Xiao Shuxiang.

The 15 Shadow Scalet disciples also saluted, they had all been aware despite the condition of the facial skin and body full of blister wounds smelling pungent.

"Brother Xiao, they look bad when they left their bodies and faces fine,"

Jing Mi instead of being ridiculed or insulted, she just pityed looking at those Scarlet Shadow disciples that were so pitiful.

Siu Yixin said in a tone that what Jing Mi saw was none other than the effect of the curse seal of the GrandElder Scarlet Shadow, all the disciples had it.

"We should heal them," Hu Li looked at Xiao Shuxiang, followed by Jing Mi, Dai Chen, and his other companions.

Duan De slapped Xiao Shuxiang's butt and told him to work now, "Do your duty..!"

"Huh, my goodness. You guys clearly know who I am, there's no way I'm gonna help them. Xiao Shuxiang is not that good.."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was shocked as Lan Guan Zhi patted his butt, he looked at his friend with a look of disbelief.

"La-Lan Zhi's.. You just..?"

"Let's do it,"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, Jing Mi and Dai Chen also looked dumbstruck by Lan Guan Zhi's actions, both of them subconsciously opening his mouth.

"Don't do that again, you almost made me hang. Huuf, it felt different when Dai Chen and Grandpa Long Beard slapped my butt, and it gave me goosebumps..!" Xiao Shuxiang tried to calm down, he then asked a Scarlet Shadow disciple to come closer to him.

Duan De rubbed his beard while watching Xiao Shuxiang examine one by one the conditions of the Scarlet Shadow disciples and tried to heal them.

"He seems to be following you, Young Master Lan." Duan De smiled as he looked towards Lan Guan Zhi, who was immediately answered a respectful nod from him.

"After this, what will you do?" Dai Chen while watching Xiao Shuxiang, appeared to be talking to Shao Nu.

"I don't know, maybe stay here until the end. I was unable to meet Tianqi Mao and ask for protection from him, after all my treatment of him.." Shao Nu said softly, he did not show any sadness from his voice, his face remained calm, but not so with the look of his eyes.

Jing Mi patted Shao Nu's shoulder gently, and smiled sincerely. "Miss Nu, what if you and your juniors become part of the Butterfly Sect. Don't worry, at my place.. We'll treat you as family. You agree, Brother Xiao?!"

Xiao Shuxiang who was concocting pills for the Scarlet Shadow disciples heard Jing Mi's words just now. Without even turning his face, he said that his sect did need a lot of disciples.

".. But the decision remains with you, I want to remind you three things before you decide. First, the sect's rule is me. Second, do not dare to be a traitor. And third, you must dare to die.." Xiao Shuxiang said firmly, he was more accepting of weak people but dared to die, than strong people but became traitors.

".. If you understand that and want to join. Then the door of the Butterfly Sect will be wide open for you."

"Senior, Please Accept Us..!" The 15 Scarlet Shadow disciples saluted Xiao Shuxiang.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he was actually planning on recruiting Shao Nu and the remaining Scarlet Shadow disciples to enter his sect. If they refused, then Xiao Shuxiang would kill them without any remains.

".. But it doesn't seem necessary."

The curse seal contained within the bodies of the Scarlet Shadow disciples was much easier to treat than that of Shao Nu, however.. It takes time for their body condition to return to normal.

It was only after three hours that the effect of Xiao Shuxiang's medicine could be seen. Hu Li was completely amazed by the ability of his master, whereas his master had no Alchemist talent.

"Young Master Xiao, you're brand-new!!" Hu Li was silent as his master was standing far away as if separating from them.

Jing Mi, Dai Chen, and the others looked puzzled and curious as to what Xiao Shuxiang was doing now.

"Sir..?"

"You all don't have to praise me. Let me praise myself, my talent is truly amazing..! Haah. The cooking expert, an Alchemist, has a talent for forging, even my dance is amazing. Either title let alone would wait for Xiao Shuxiang in the future.. Hm hahaha"

!!

Hu Li and Jing Mi patted her eel. Dai Chen, Lan Guan Zhi, and the others shook their heads slowly. They were now not sure this person was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star.

"Tu-Master, how did you turn out like this?" The pale-faced Hu Li, is it possible that the true nature of his master is such a narcissistic person? Impossible, but..

"Alright, Xiao Shuxiang was already content to praise himself. Now let's go home.." Xiao Shuxiang walked back towards his companions.

Mo Huai said that their problem now was the way home, "The mayor's bodyguard is dead and only he can return us. Unless Miss Nu can.."

"I'm sorry," Shao Nu said he didn't know how to return them all back to Tianqi Mao's place.

"Calm down, that's why I'm so proud of myself.. I'll show you Xiao Shuxiang's talent that has existed since I was created.." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly and began to close his eyes.

The memory of Tianqi Mao using his water mirror style began to be reflected in Xiao Shuxiang's memories. He slowly opened his eyes and said he would try it now.

Xiao Shuxiang practiced what he remembered, only that his speech was different from Tianqi Mao's even though his movements were the same.

!

A dot of water began to form, solidifying and turning into a mirror. Xiao Shuxiang tried to take a step first, he immediately stood with his eyes round in surprise.

A loud shout made Xiao Shuxiang immediately turn a deaf ear. Lan Guan Zhi and his companions who were behind the mirror also heard the cry, they immediately stepped in because they felt Xiao Shuxiang was in danger.

!!

AAAAAH!

Jing Mi and the others were surprised instead of playing around when they saw many innocent girls were shouting while throwing various items at them.

"Wait a minute, Miss! We're Just Passing Through, Really Unintentionally!" Xiao Shuxiang caught a shoe thrown at him, he told all his friends to close their eyes.

The problem was, only the disciples of Scarlet Shadow, Duan De, and Hu Li did so. While Jing Mi, Dai Chen and Siu Yixin seemed to blink several times as if they could not believe what they saw.

Lan Guan Zhi himself just put on his calm face, he used a protective seal to fend off the shoe throws from the girls in this bathhouse.

True, Xiao Shuxiang had unintentionally directed them to the biggest bathhouse in Flower Dew City.

!!

The door opened and revealed Tianqi Mao who was dressed in white. He was ready to punish the perverted men who dared to throw tantrums in his place of worship. However, he was shocked when he saw that it was Xiao Shuxiang and his friends.

One fan.. Tianqi Mao created a wooden wall that became the separation between the girls with Xiao Shuxiang and his friends.

Tap

Tap

"I'm so surprised, why did you guys get to this place?!" Tianqi Mao walked towards Xiao Shuxiang and the others, he could still hear the voices of the girls across who were lamenting Xiao Shuxiang and his companions were extremely shameless and perverted.

"It's All Because of Brother Xiao..!"

"You Really Don't Know Shame..!"

Jing Mi and Dai Chen stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang, their cheeks flushed red, there was even blood coming out of Jing Mi's nose.

"I don't know either, don't blame me. You guys seem to like it anyway..!" Xiao Shuxiang was unwilling to take the blame himself, he was sure the Scarlet Shadow male disciple did not really close his eyes.

"We'd better not talk here. Let's continue elsewhere," Tianqi Mao took Xiao Shuxiang and the others to a private room of his.
