XIAO SHUXIANG'S

181 - Book of the Return of the Soul [Revised]

Lui Me Tian and his guards were still standing at the same spot with eyes looking down at the path that Xiao Shuxiang had passed earlier.

"Chairman, why did you just let it go? He is a human..!" one of the guards said, "We have to kill that human right now!"

"Don't do anything,"

"But the Elder!!"

The guard's breath seemed to be restrained when he got a sharp gaze from Lui Me Tian. He immediately lowered his head and apologized to his elder.

Both of his hands clenched tightly, this was all the fault of that human. They are sacred beings, inhabitants of this world. How could a lowly human set foot in their world. It's unacceptable!

The guards of Lui Me Tian seemed to be still a new child working in this palace. They did not know who the real Xiao Shuxiang was.

Only the guards and servants who had long served Lui Me Tian knew Xiao Shuxiang.

Although they had not seen it for a long time, it was as if the name was embedded in their hearts and memories.

!!

Lui Me Tian and her people gasped when they saw Xiao Shuxiang walking over, this time her hair had been neatly tied.

Xiao Shuxiang only stopped stepping when he arrived in front of Lui Me Tian, coldly he said to Lui Me Tian.

"I need twenty-one of your captives or guards,"

"You.. Wanna do what..?"

"Prepare them for me, right now..!" Xiao Shuxiang did not answer Lui Me Tian's question and instead gave him an order, his eyes like holding back anger.

"But, how-ukh!"

Xiao Shuxiang again clutched Lui Me Tian's neck and said, "Do whatever I want while I still ask him to be fine."

"Le-leave your hand first..!"

Lui Me Tian gave the orders to his guards after Xiao Shuxiang removed the grip on his neck.

The guards were actually angry and confused at the attitude of their elders who were not at all against this human treatment.

After preparing Xiao Shuxiang's request, the 21 captives were taken to the front courtyard of the palace.

The hands and feet of the captives were tied, their mouths and eyes were covered with cloth. They were also Demonic Beasts that had an almost perfect human body, only including the lowest races.

Lui Me Tian and his guards and servants watched as Xiao Shuxiang dragged the prisoners one by one until they looked over.. They are like little dots that form a circle.

The twenty-first or last Demonic Beast.. Xiao Shuxiang put it in the middle as the center point.

"What will he do with the captives..?"

Guards Lui Me Tian felt astonished by what Xiao Shuxiang was doing, they wondered inwardly.

!!

Lui Me Tian was surprised to see Xiao Shuxiang vomit blood, he just noticed that the young man's face was pale and slightly blue.

"Is he poisoned?!" Lui Me Tian wanted to make a sound, but staring at Xiao Shuxiang who was being so serious made him undo the intention.

Xiao Shuxiang again injured his hand, drawing a circle with his own blood around one by one these captives, while recalling the contents of the book.

"Land as a base..

.. Twenty hearts alive..

One as container..

Connect with.. A circle of life and death.."

Xiao Shuxiang again vomited blood, the poison in his body was very difficult to neutralize, repeatedly he shook his head slowly as his eyes grew increasingly blurry.

Lui Me Tian continued to watch Xiao Shuxiang who was now making a line with his blood all the way to the place where the captives were kneeling in the middle of the circle.

"'The land as the base, the twenty calling stars, one as the center, are connected by a sacred chain in a circle, the controlling moon'.. Just getting there the writing in the book, I don't even know what it means and how it goes.."

The Book of Soul Returns is one of the Forbidden Book of Heirlooms the legacy of Lui Me Tian's ancestor. If you succeed in understanding the purpose and completing the contents of the book.. Then that person can bring one's soul from the dead and revive it.

Imagine if the person who was turned on was a terrible creature. Especially for the Demon World, many ancestors whose strength was a disaster.

".. The book is very dangerous. To understand the meaning of the writing takes a long time. Some even try to use it without completing its contents and instead end up losing their lives by misrepresenting the word in the book. But he ... could it work..?"

Liu Me Tian could not distract him from what Xiao Shuxiang was doing, his people were the same as well. Silence was created and only the roar of Xiao Shuxiang's breath as well as the sound as he coughed out blood rang out.

".. Blood is a link

.. The brain as a controller..

.. Who sanctifies with two immortals.." Xiao Shuxiang finally came to the last sentence he made himself. Clearly he was overhauling the contents of the Book of Soul Returns with his will.

Lui Me Tian and the several Demonic Beasts had all this time only focused on completing the contents of the book. They had once thought of overhauling the contents as well, but they did not because they considered it very risky and unlikely to succeed.

Giving up before trying and being afraid of taking risks was something Xiao Shuxiang would never do.

Although he failed many times, despite having to sacrifice his life, he would still do what he wanted.

".. I can't stop. Lan Guan Zhi is waiting.."

It was not without reason that Xiao Shuxiang took great pains to save Lan Guan Zhi. He needs someone who can stop or kill him.

Right..! Xiao Shuxiang needed someone who could stop or kill him.

The pill that the Third Patriarch had once given him could remove his three dantian roots. From then on, Xiao Shuxiang tried to recreate the pill as well as refine it.

If his strength returns, he wants someone to stop him. The stronger Xiao Shuxiang was, the greater his will to destroy this Continent.

It was unstoppable, as if Xiao Shuxiang was created indeed to carry his kakacauan, like a destiny that had been set upon him.

And for the sake of changing it, Xiao Shuxiang needed a friend. At first he chose Jing Mi because he felt that his fellow students could do it, but Jing Mi was the type of loyal friend.

The actions of Jing Mi who once saved Yi Wen and left the mission of giving Xiao Shuxiang was proof that Jing Mi was more concerned with friends.

Xiao Shuxiang chose Lan Guan Zhi because the young man was living in a sect with 5000 rules, besides that he also had his own creation style that was able to make Xiao Shuxiang unable to sense Qi.

Somehow it worked, but Xiao Shuxiang did need it. He tried to live as normal a life as possible, obeying the request of his sword spirit and the advice of Tianqi Mao to seek something precious for him.

But it did not rule out the possibility of something precious that Xiao Shuxiang could not find, even after all his Dantian roots disappeared and his strength recovered.

".. If that happens, I won't be able to control myself. Xiao Shuxiang needs you Lan Zhi.. At least to kill myself.."

!!

Lui Me Tian and his people watched as Xiao Shuxiang's blood began to glow.. Wrapped up to the twenty captives which resulted in all of them screaming in restraint.

The last prisoner in the middle was seen shaking, he could hear the voices of his comrades who if their mouth coverings were removed.. It is likely that the sound of the stifled scream will be very heartbreaking.

The bodies of the 20 captives began to turn into small, milky-white flames, appearing to drift slowly.

Xiao Shuxiang who placed his hand on the last captive's head stared straight ahead. Instantly, 20 small flames shot out and entered the body of the last prisoner.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang took off the cloth that covered the mouth of this prisoner until the sound of his shout was so loud it sounded.

The captive's body burned so intensely, it took five breaths that he turned into a small golden-yellow flame.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang finally succeeded, the golden-yellow flame that floated in front of him was a dantian.

The dantian had a piece of Lan Guan Zhi's soul. Only partially, meant Lan Guan Zhi was still alive now.

Xiao Shuxiang stretched out his hand, he inserted the golden flame into his Spatial Ring and regurgitated blood.

Xiao Shuxiang now began to calm himself down, he took out the Book of Soul Reversal from behind his clothes and looked at him for a moment.

Next, Xiao Shuxiang burned the book with his blue flame. The guards of Lui Me Tian were shocked when they saw this action.

"Elder, the man burned it..!"

"I had expected him to do so," Lui Me Tian simply continued to look at Xiao Shuxiang who was still standing quietly.

"Second, we've seen it. This time we can definitely revive His Majesty,"

"That's impossible, he won't let a single person survive after witnessing what he did.."

"Chairman, what do you mean"

Not finished the words of one of Lui Me Tian's guards, his head had suddenly slipped from his body. Everyone took a long time to realize this other than Lui Me Tian.

One by one Lui Me Tian's guards began to lose their heads. Xiao Shuxiang did not care how sick his body would be, all he thought about now was killing all the witnesses.

CRAASH!

This was strange, whereas previously the guards of Lui Me Tian were able to realize the direction of Xiao Shuxiang's attack. But now, the human existence is completely gone.

"Xiao'Er?! Stop!!"

!!

A guard felt his heart stop beating, his eyes widened to see Xiao Shuxiang's left palm full of blackish-red blood almost clutching his neck if it was not stopped by Lui Me Tian's cry.

"What are you doing? After coming here and making a fuss, taking the book and burning it, now you're going to slaughter my people?!"

Lui Me Tian looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was some distance away from him, the young man's eyes were bright red. There were three red lines on Xiao Shuxiang's right cheek, if he paid more careful attention to it. His left fingernail was much longer, sharper, and black in color.

"No one can be a witness."

Xiao Shuxiang's voice was cold, containing an aura that made anyone shudder with goosebumps as if to stop.

"Then you want to kill me too?" Lui Me Tian though looked calm, but actually she hid the trembling on her body.

The 100,000-year-old Demonic Beast that had never been afraid, became trembling just from looking at Xiao Shuxiang's eyes and face.

Lui Me Tian could see the level of practice the young man before him along with his dantian rooted within the human body.

Not only that, Lui Me Tian also knew there was poison within Xiao Shuxiang's body. But still, he wasn't sure he could kill her. That said, Lui Me Tian's greatest weakness was this young man.

"Haah, you're this.. I've given you my blood, but still doubt me too. You're such a bitch!"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Lui Me Tian, he then turned his gaze towards the guard in front of him and gripped firmly on the guard's neck while saying that only Lui Me Tian would he let live.

"Shuxiang! Let me take care of them, don't kill my people. Do you still not believe me?"

Lui Me Tian walked over to Xiao Shuxiang and asked him to release the grip of his hand.

The color of Xiao Shuxiang's eyes began to change, the three lines on his cheeks also slowly disappeared, along with his fingernails returning to their original shape.

Xiao Shuxiang released the grip of his hand on the guard's neck, making the guard immediately kneel while coughing a few times.

"All right, I'll leave it to you.. Aunty,"

A white light instantly shone on Xiao Shuxiang's body, the next second he disappeared and was no longer in the Demon World.

Lui Me Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "That kid.. She just called me 'Auntie' when she left. You bad boy..!"

*

*

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Lan Xiao who was sleeping beside Lan Guan Zhi, he was doing his job well.

Lan Xiao's life energy continued to flow in Lan Guan Zhi's body, keeping his soul fire from extinguishing. Xiao Shuxiang gently rubbed the head of the Moon Tiger and praised it.

Ping Gou was seen walking towards Xiao Shuxiang, he said no one had come here to look for trouble.

"Rest, Ping Gou. You have done your duty well," Xiao Shuxiang rubbed Ping Gou's head, himself then let out the fire of maturity he brought from the Demon World.

Slowly the flames floated above Lan Guan Zhi's stomach and entered into his body. It took a while for this young man to open his eyes, but his life was now no longer threatened.

"Lan Xiao, you can still take care of him, right? I have to go and take care of something,"

Nyan!

Xiao Shuxiang gently patted Lan Guan Zhi's arm and then walked away. The poison in his body was still there, but it had started to decrease. However, his body felt pain because it was too imposing itself.

Xiao Shuxiang climbed the flying sword and immediately shot towards the Sky Sword Sect. That place is really messy.

Some of the Senior disciples who had just returned home from the mission were shocked to see the condition of the sect. He immediately approached his fellow students and checked his condition.

?!

Xiao Shuxiang saw Hun Fung lying with a lot of blood splashing on his face and clothes, thank God his friend was still alive.

The sunlight began to reveal its radiance, the former battle with the Sky Pagoda Sect was increasingly visible.

"Brother Xiao..?!"

!

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when he heard the cry of one of the Silver Bamboo Sect disciples, he immediately approached the disciple who turned out to be checking on Lan Gaozu's condition.

"Did Grandpa Thick Beard die?"

"Senior, you don't talk like that. He is still alive despite his very weak breath, I have been feeding him Dragon Breath pills periodically, but.."

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, even though his Dragon Breath Pill was great, but that did not mean he had no weaknesses. Even the Night Dew Pill that was among the best poison dosing pills still had its flaws.

During this day, the disciples who were still able to walk helped their companions and took them to rest under one of the trees.

Xiao Shuxiang started concocting herbs and making pills in order to be used to restore the condition of the injured disciples.

The GrandElder of the Sky Sword Sect had to lose one arm, but after swallowing Xiao Shuxiang's artificial pill.. In just three breaths, his arm grew back.

"You better not tell anyone the efficacy of my pill. You got it, Grandpa?!"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched and blinked a few times as Chun Bai Dao patted and gently rubbed his head.

"You're a good boy, thank you.."

"No need to thank you, you said I'm 'Excellent' enough in exchange for 'Thank You'. But, yah.. Xiao Shuxiang doesn't need compliments either, I can praise myself.."

Chu Bai Dao smiled as he shook his head softly, he did not expect that the cultivator nicknamed 'The Destroying Star' to have such a unique personality.

Chun Bai Dao and Xiao Shuxiang had just learned that the five Patriarchs were kidnapped when one of the disciples told them. Hearing him made the look on Xiao Shuxiang's face change.

Sky Pagoda Sect, that white long haired girl.. He was definitely the culprit who had made Lan Guan Zhi fail to rise to the level of practice.

".. He was the cause of Lan Zhi's damaged dantian until my friend almost lost his life. The Sky Pagoda Sect.. I'll pay this debt..!"

Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands together, he was already determined to make the attacker of the Heaven Sword Sect feel the same even more painful.
