XIAO SHUXIANG'S
177 - Attack II [Revised]
Xiao Shuxiang used his black viscous liquid to cultivate the seed of the Hell Emperor Flower.
The plant has five blood-red flower crowns and seven black stamens.
Hun Fung and the Silver Bamboo GrandElder were guarding the disciples who were still groaning in pain while waiting for the medicine from Xiao Shuxiang.
In fact, many of Hun Fung's friends were injured. However they could still be treated with Xiao Shuxiang's pills, only these five friends were exposed to the painful poison.
Xiao Shuxiang had finally come, the Angel Powder poison antidote pill was now in his hands. To test the effectiveness of the pill, Xiao Shuxiang transferred the poison of one of the disciples into his own body.
!!
GrandElder of the Silver Bamboo Sect, Hun Fung, and some of his friends who were in this room were so very shocked. They did not expect, Xiao Shuxiang could be so reckless.
"Senior..!!"
Xiao Shuxiang's right hand was numb, he could feel thousands of tiny needles piercing and forcing their way into his bones.
The pain seemed to be able to make people exposed to the poison of the Angel Powder craze. Just as Xiao Shuxiang felt, he seemed to want to take out his bones so that this pain could disappear.
Xiao Shuxiang started to eat a single h.e.l.l Emperor Flower Pill, the effect would only be noticeable after two minutes.
True, Xiao Shuxiang had to endure the pain for two minutes. He remembered the spider that had gnawed at his heart, but the pain from the Angel Powder poison was even worse.
Fortunately, his pill is indeed the antidote to the poison. Xiao Shuxiang was able to breathe a sigh of relief even though his countenance still looked pale.
".. I have to refine this pill again.." Xiao Shuxiang was panting, cold sweat droplets pouring down his forehead.
He gave the pill to his friends before he went to one of the walls of the room to lean on.
".. Angel Powder.. If the one who attacked them was the Scarlet Shadow, then one of the cultivators there came from that place.."
As Xiao Shuxiang was resting while thinking, he heard a growl.
"Lan Xiao..?" Xiao Shuxiang recognized this voice, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
Sure enough, the ones who came turned out were Lan Xiao and Lan Guan Zhi. He walked closer to both.
?!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Lan Guan Zhi held tightly onto both shoulders, several times turning her body, and squeezed her cheeks with a face that had a complete lack of expression.
"What.. You injured?"
"Hm? You ... worried about me?"
Xiao Shuxiang did not know what to say when he saw Lan Guan Zhi give a soft nod to his question just now.
His friend's face was too calm and there was no worried expression at all. Xiao Shuxiang so thought the veins on Lan Guan Zhi's face were problematic. Only her eyes looked like they had lives, yet were too charming.
"I'm fine, so don't worry.." Xiao Shuxiang patted Lan Guan Zhi's arm softly, he also rubbed Lan Xiao's head which continued to stick to her while letting out a snoring sound. Clearly, the Moon Tiger was also worried about him.
Not only were these two friends of his, but Feng Ying and the others felt the same way as well. Xiao Shuxiang suddenly disappeared with a strange aura on his body without saying a word necessarily making them anxious.
They did not know where Xiao Shuxiang was going, and they had trouble catching up with Lan Xiao who was taking Lan Guan Zhi with him, the Moon Tiger was too fast.
Feng Ying and her companions had only arrived after five days of traveling at high speed.
Only Feng Ying, Jing Mi, Hai Feng, and Yi Wen came. Their other brethren partly helped with repairs in the Emperor's palace and partly in the Cold Cloud City.
When they came, even though the breath was breathless and the energy was at the limit, they still met Xiao Shuxiang. It was as if they could not rest before seeing his brother.
Lan Guan Zhi and Lan Xiao stayed at the Butterfly Sect for five days. The first time the Moon Tiger had a lot of playing time with Xiao Shuxiang, he was also happy to be invited to play by the disciples of Butterfly Sect and Silver Bamboo Sect.
Jing Mi apparently brought some pretty shocking news. The citizens of Cold Cloud City apparently wanted the Butterfly Sect to be in their city.
".. Tianqi Mao gave me a letter that Master had written,"
Xiao Shuxiang received Jing Mi's granting letter. He gasped as he looked at the Emperor's seal in the left corner of the letter.
"We now have our own territory, Brother." Jing Mi was so excited, as if her fatigue disappeared instantly.
All the citizens of Tani Village were in Cold Cloud City, as well as Xiao WeiWei, and now his sect would move to that city. Lan Gaozu won't be chatty anymore.
"I intend to rule the city, but by conquest, not by this courtesy. Haaah.. Yes that's it.."
Xiao Shuxiang asked Jing Mi to rest, she then called Hun Fung and gave her the task of preparing for their move.
Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi met the GrandElder of the Silver Bamboo Sect. Two days ago, GrandElder talked about his intention of bringing back his disciples and establishing the sect from scratch again, but Xiao Shuxiang rejected him.
He knew that the GrandElder of the Silver Bamboo Sect felt uneasy about having to continue to rely on the Butterfly Sect, moreover he gave them so many resources without distinguishing anyone.
No one wanted to be considered a burden, so did GrandElder of the Silver Bamboo Sect, the Patriarch, and his disciples. Yet both Xiao Shuxiang, Yang Shu, and the disciples of the Butterfly Sect did not consider them so.
".. Thank you, Son. You've helped my sect too much,"
"There's no 'Thank You' between us, Grandpa. Don't say that, hearing it makes our relationship seem like it has boundaries, and I don't like it.."
Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi had long enough to talk to the GrandElder of the Silver Bamboo Sect. When they finished, the two took a walk together in the back yard of the GrandElder residence.
Many of Xiao Shuxiang's herbs had to be moved, but he was a little anxious because most of his herbs could live in a place with dense Qi like the Mother Mountain.
".. You take very good care of her, Lan Zhi.." Xiao Shuxiang patted Lan Guan Zhi on the shoulder and smiled at her, he praised his friend who had become a great old man for Lan Xiao.
Lan Guan Zhi watched the Moon Tiger being ridden by some small children, his gaze then turned towards Xiao Shuxiang.
"I.. Going up the practice, not being able to be with him for a hundred days.."
!!
"You're going up the practice again?!" Xiao Shuxiang was certainly surprised, especially when he heard Lan Guan Zhi say that he would break through the GrandMaster level.
Even hundred-year-old cultivators were few at the GrandMaster level, most of them stalled at the Black Gold Stage MasterFoundation.
"You're very talented, Lan Zhi. Don't worry, I'll take care of Lan Xiao. You just focus on improving your practice,"
"Mn, I entrust.. Lan Xiao to you."

One by one the disciples began to climb the flying sword, they had long since stayed in the Mother Mountain, a feeling of sadness was surely enveloping their hearts.
".. Don't be sad, we can come back here again.." Jing Mi patted her junior's shoulder softly.
Ping Gou and his followers ushered in the departure of Jing Mi and her siblings. All the buildings are still left standing as proof that this place was once their home.
Xiao Shuxiang himself was in the Sky Sword Sect, he was seen feeding Lan Xiao. Lan Guan Zhi was now not with them, he was inside the cave of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
As long as Lan Guan Zhi left, Xiao Shuxiang continued to stay in the Sky Sword Sect. He only occasionally went to Cold Cloud City to see the state of his sect.
In this sect, Xiao Shuxiang had to study with the other disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. He was forced to wear mourning clothes and follow all the rules.
Xiao Shuxiang once tried to ditch, but ended up being punished by Duan De.
He had also once made a fuss, no senior disciple could defeat him. Xiao Shuxiang could only be stopped by the Third Patriarch and the Second Patriarch.
Exactly the full moon, as the field in the Sky Sword Sect formed a cave.. The air began to change.
There was a light appearing on the four points of the walls of this sect. The light quickly spread out and became a seal cupping the Heavenly Sword Sect.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang who was on the second floor of the 9th level Pagoda with Lan Xiao, looked surprised.
He immediately headed to the ledge, "This.. Not the sect's protective seal..!"
Lan Xiao growled strongly, he sensed that something was amiss, as well as the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.
Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he was like seeing a red light flashed not far in front of him.
A BAAAM!
The Four Way Building exploded! Xiao Shuxiang could hear the cry of one of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Obviously this is an attack, but the presence of the enemy they do not feel at all.
Xiao Shuxiang immediately darted into the Four Way Building, followed by Lan Xiao. He was shocked as the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect were fighting with some red light that was moving so fast.
!!
A BAAM!
Xiao Shuxiang bounced back when he suddenly came under attack, lucky that he didn't hit anything. He immediately took out Yinng xiong from his Spatial Ring and shot out as fast as lightning striking the red light that he did not know what it was.
THE TRAANG!
Patriarch Lan also seemed to be holding back the attacks of some red light, the sound of his sword was so loud. He told the junior disciples of the Sky Sword Sect to evacuate to a safe place.
"Patriach, what is this?! Are we attacked?!"
THE TRAANG!
"It's not clear, just go and call the other Patriarch."
Patriach Lan continued to fend off this increasingly rapid attack of red light. He did not feel any danger threatening his sect, of course he felt surprised when his residence was attacked so suddenly.
THE TRAANG!
Xiao Shuxiang tightly held onto Yinng xiong, he let out his four little blue flames which instantly shot out and helped him fight against the red light.
"They were daring to wreak havoc in the cage of the Sky Sword Sect. Are they stupid or underestimating this sect too much..?"
Xiao Shuxiang darted quickly and pierced through the red light that transformed into a human in black clothes.
The agonizing moans Xiao Shuxiang heard belonged to the man, yet he was unable to see the face of this man as it was covered. Especially now that his opponent was rapidly turning into bones.
".. I don't think they're acting stupid. All of this was carefully planned..!"
!!
