"Pa-Uncle Lai, I just tried an heirloom just now. Don't really want to make you like this, you can still stand up, right?"
"'Just try'..? What do you think my sect is, huh?! Your test material?! You've grown up Xiao'Er, cut down on this little bit of mischief of yours..!"
Lai Kuan Ye pulled Xiao Shuxiang's ear and slapped the young man's arm hard beside him. Lai Kuan Ye then gently rubbed his chest, what kind of niece does this have?!
".. If not my sect, it would be the Demon Wolf Sect that became your guinea pig. You used to have good relations with the White and Neutral Sect, even the four Great Elders considered you as their family. But it's your actions like these that make you hate everyone, you.. You..! Haaa.. I really don't think there's a human like you,"
Xiao Shuxiang scratched his cheek, he did not come to listen to Lai Kuan Ye's hospitality. Let alone making him remember on his past relationship with the three Streams.
It was true, Xiao Shuxiang was a Black Flow cultivator. Every battle he fought.. He was always the center of attention.
His actions that often get out of control when related to blood make him unable to distinguish friends or opponents. Xiao Shuxiang was starting to be feared by the third cultivator of the Flow.
Although he was late to have a friend like Zhou Yuan, there were still memories that Xiao Shuxiang did not like to remember.
It was the day that Zhou Yuan took him to the Sky Sword Sect, blending in with the White and Neutral Flow cultivators, even though it only lasted for three months until the great war broke out.
".. Even when Bai Wu Chang yelled at the cliff back then, he still called me 'Xiao'Er'.."
Xiao Shuxiang exhaled as he shook his head slowly. Zhou Yuan was too kind to him, often taking him down the mountain, introducing himself to the White and Neutral Flow cultivators. Even then, he had to hide his identity.
".. Senior Zhou wanted me to forget my dream, he did not support me in achieving my biggest dream. He's a shitty friend,"
"Your dream is to destroy this continent, do you think he will support you?! I don't agree with your horrible dream either, only crazy people would support you.."
Lai Kuan Ye was a Black Flow cultivator, he obviously hated the other two Streams. His dream was of course to expand his territory and if it could eliminate most of the second sect of the sect.
However, it was never once in Lai Kuan Ye's mind to destroy the Eastern Continent. As evil as he is, Lai Kuan Ye still cherishes his homeland.
After feeling good enough, Lai Kuan Ye then asked what Xiao Shuxiang wanted. There's no way his nephew just came to test this new ability, right?
!!
"You really came just for that?!"
Lai Kuan Ye felt his head twitch, he gave a look of disbelief at the young man laughing awkwardly beside this.
"Don't Shift Your Eyes, Shuxiang?! Look Here..! You're Really a Naughty, Wild, Less-Taught Boy..!"
"Pa-Uncle, I'm sorry. I really don't mean like that, I didn't mean it at all.."
Xiao Shuxiang groaned slightly as Lai Kuan Ye twisted his ears and grinded his head with a knuckle.
"Not intentionally your ass?! You almost made my students and myself wretched, Naughty Boy..!"
The disciples of the Blood Skull Sect who were the victims of Xiao Shuxiang's flute sound also seemed annoyed, eager for them to join his Elders to cluck and twist the young man's ears.
Even some of them took a grudge against Xiao Shuxiang. That cultivator wearing the uniform of the Heavenly Sword Sect was not at all their friend, he was an enemy that had to be eliminated immediately.
As an apology, Xiao Shuxiang cooked food for Lai Kuan Ye as well as the disciples of the Blood Skull Sect who were his victims earlier.
Lai Kuan Ye was so surprised, he knew Xiao Shuxiang was very not good at cooking. But now, even Lai Kuan Ye was sure that there would be no cultivator who could cook this particular meal of his adoptive nephew's meal.
One of the disciples of the Blood Skull Sect had trouble expressing fitting words to praise Xiao Shuxiang's cooking. He felt sorry for wanting to kill his nephew.
"This food can even restore stamina..?! He-great.."
"Hm? Not 'Great', but 'Excellent'..! It was rare for Xiao Shuxiang to do this kind of good, so be proud, humans..!"
Xiao Shuxiang waved his hair bangs, he then sat down beside Lai Kuan Ye and enjoyed lunch together.
Xiao Shuxiang's actions that had been completely forgotten, Lai Kuan Ye's disciple who wanted to avenge Xiao Shuxiang's actions was now very familiar with the young man.
Xiao Shuxiang had never considered anyone as his enemy, he would naturally treat them like a friend if it was not related to his people's lives.
Xiao Shuxiang knew that the sects that belonged to the Black Stream had a great ambition of expanding their territory and subduing and slaughtering the White Stream sect including secretly hostile towards the Neutral Flow sect.
The Blood Skull Sect was also included in it, there were a lot of evil plans that they had prepared to achieve their ambitions. However, Xiao Shuxiang did not care at all.
Provided that his people like the citizens of Cold Cloud City, the citizens of the Stone Land, the Sky Sword Sect, as well as the Butterfly Sect and the Silver Bamboo Sect were not harmed, then he would not act.
After lunch together, Xiao Shuxiang intended to play his flute back, but he was soon stopped by Lai Kuan Ye and his students.
They reasoned that they would go on missions, conquer small villages, and look for trouble with cultivators in the Sun Drowning Empire.
"Conquering villages? You want to commit a massacre? I'm in..!"
"No, you can't..! You better go back to the Sky Sword Sect and learn to be a good boy there,"
Xiao Shuxiang frowned when he heard the words of one of Lai Kuan Ye's disciples. How could he be asked to learn to be a good boy while they were all bad people?!
Xiao Shuxiang admitted that he lived with the White and Neutral Flow cultivators and lived in a neighborhood full of familial nuances. But his soul was still a Black Flow cultivator.
".. The desire for slaughter runs in my blood and murder is my passion, so I want to come along. Coincidentally today my clothes are white, I can color them with the beauty of the color da-"
"You're not allowed. Practice with your flute so as to calm the spirit, you are better suited to wear a flute than a sword. Now go practice,"
Lai Kuan Ye aided by his disciples pushed slowly Xiao Shuxiang and asked him to immediately return to the Sky Sword Sect.
Xiao Shuxiang was perplexed by the actions of Lai Kuan Ye and his students, they were the most bizarre Black Stream cultivators he had ever met.
In the end, Xiao Shuxiang gave up. He then bid farewell to Lai Kuan Ye and a few disciples of the Blood Skull Sect. Merely, he did not return to the Sky Sword Sect. Instead of going to the Demon Wolf Sect in the Rising Sun Empire.
Xiao Shuxiang shot out at high speed, this time he did not wear his flying sword. He arrived after three days of travel.
!!
It's shocking! The first thing Xiao Shuxiang saw was the fight between the disciples of the Lotus Flower Sect and the Demon Wolf Sect.
The trail!
The trail!
The location of this fight was at the headquarters of the Demon Wolf Sect, it was clear that it was the cultivators from the Lotus Flower Sect who came attacking first.
Huan Ran was seen fighting against the five disciples of the Demon Wolf Sect, her princess-like appearance was so graceful with her Water Dancing style.
Huan Ran was not afraid at all, he wore a protective suit made of pangolin scales, an heirloom he got from the auction at that time.
Not only Huan Ran, but his younger brother Huan Mei also wore the same clothes. The two attacked fearlessly, slashing and beheading the opponent without any significant difficulty.
The trail!
The trail!
Huan Ran's battle style was impressed like a torrent of water, so sharp, strong, and graceful at the same time.
The cooperation with Huan Mei made him able to move more nimble and able to fight against cultivators who had practices one level above.
The trail!
Xiao Shuxiang was still looking at the fight of the two different sects from above, he seemed as if he had not intended to set his foot on the ground.
There were not many strong cultivators in the Eastern Continent, the most high-level practices were only at the Earth Stage GrandMaster. And only a few people can get to this level.
Even Sim Hi Ji, the GrandElder Sect Demon Wolf was only able to reach the GrandMaster of the Mortal Stage at his arguably age of over a hundred years.
Girls like Huan Ran and his sister were obviously talented cultivators, but their abilities still could not match Xiao Shuxiang's.
The great war that the Destroying Star had wrought, left many GrandMaster level cultivators dead and reduced to ashes. Those who can survive even once, can only resign when their practice decreases dramatically.
If Xiao Shuxiang wanted to, he had now been able to slaughter a middle sect by using Yinng xiong or with only his hands.
He could even slaughter them all so horribly without moving from where he was standing now when he wore the Blood Control Technique.
Xiao Shuxiang arguably already possessed enough power to wreak havoc back for the Eastern Continent, and this time.. The poison will not stop him.
However, Xiao Shuxiang was not willing to do so yet. Ever since his memory returned completely, he decided to postpone realizing his wish.
".. The Scarlet Shadow has not disappeared and I do not know who the Elder Mu Zan was referring to. The Great Scarlet Shadow Elder knew something about me, Mu Zan the bastard had told him."
Xiao Shuxiang held tightly to the White Jade Flute in his left hand as he continued to watch the fight of the cultivators of the Lotus Flower Sect and the Demonic Wolf Sect.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes when Xiao Shuxiang mentioned the name 'Mu Zan'. Unknowingly, the White Jade Flute in his hand emitted a bluish-white dim light even though it only lasted for three seconds.
"SISTER..!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang regained his senses when he heard Huan Mei's cry, he refocused himself on watching the two sects fight while still drifting without the aid of his flying sword.
Huan Ran was apparently confined within the poisonous smoke released by the disciples of the Demon Wolf Sect.
The protective clothes are strong, but that does not mean they do not have weaknesses. If it continues to be attacked at one point continuously, it will cause small cracks that can weaken the heirloom.
Huan Ran and Huan Mei had actually come to the Demon Wolf Sect with the aim of avenging the deaths of their two parents.
The two beautiful girls gathered around thirty of their fellow students and carried out this unexpected attack.
The GrandElder of the Lotus Flower Sect, Huan Fei was completely unaware of the actions of his two favorite grandchildren. All he thought about, his two grandchildren went on a mission.
Craash!
Huan Mei was hit by a slash on her back as her concentration was interrupted seeing her brother confined within a puff of poisonous smoke. Luckily he wore protective clothing, although now the heirloom is getting weaker.
Huan Mei poured Qi on her sword, and darted towards where her brother was. He several times repelled the attacks that came his sword, although some attacks began to give him deep incision wounds.
"You have dared to come to my place uninvited, I will send your head to the Old Bangka..!"
Sim Hi Ji gestured by raising his right hand, the next second twenty purple poisonous smoke bomb explosions enveloped the entire battleground.
To Black Flow cultivators, poison was already like fresh air to them. This smoke did not hinder the movement of Sim Hi Ji and his students at all.
Huan Ran and his fellow students actually came to bring their lives. They had only excelled in the first ten minutes, but now the battle flow was fully in favor of the Demon Wolf Sect.
"They will surely die, hm.. Interesting,"
Xiao Shuxiang was instead seen enjoying the moment one by one the disciples of the Lotus Flower Sect got a deadly attack from the cultivators of the Demonic Wolf Sect.
The toxic fumes hampered their vision and pace. This poison is not immediately deadly, but still they can be harmed.
"Haiy.. They're still amateurs in killing. Should not directly slash the head, but give some incisions on other parts of the body first. Ck, murder should be full of beautiful roars, not like this.."
Xiao Shuxiang inserted his White Jade Flute into the Bracelet of the Universe, then took out a high-level heirloom sword. He directly lunged down and gave a slash in the left leg eyes of one of the Demon Wolf Sect cultivators.
AAAAKH!
!!
Xiao Shuxiang grinned, this is the sound that should flow melodiously in a fight. He stared at the cultivator's left foot that had been separated by his slash, Xiao Shuxiang slashed it back into three pieces.
The Demon Wolf Sect disciple continued to shout out in pain, his eyes closed tightly with the veins on his forehead and his neck stiffening. His face was so pale, cold sweat poured out on both sides of his forehead.
Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes slowly, clearly he was enjoying the screams of pain of the Demon Wolf Sect disciple in front of him, himself then opened his eyes slowly and then smiled.
"Aahs.. This almost made Xiao Shuxiang horny. Well, I'm satisfied to hear your voice. Goodbye.."
Xiao Shuxiang grinned and then slashed at the body of the Demon Wolf Sect disciple who was trying to stop the blood on his left leg.
He was completely unable to withstand the shock attack from Xiao Shuxiang. His body was cut into pieces, not even his head was left intact.
These disciples of the Second Sect of different streams were as if unaware of Xiao Shuxiang's existence.
Some of them did see someone dressed in white, yet they assumed it was one of the disciples of the Lotus Flower Sect, only that his uniform did not have any complexion but only his waist belt that was light blue.
