XIAO SHUXIANG'S
221 - The First Appearance of Sky Heritage
!!
"He-hey..! What-What-what's this?! Let go of me..!"
A 40-year-old woman appeared to rebel when she was carried in a bag like a rice sack by Siu Yixin.
With a tone, Siu Yixin asked him to calm down because he was not a bad person. But this woman continued to rebel and could not remain silent at all.
Indeed, who would believe a strange looking man like Siu Yixin?! He himself had only first seen a man whose eyelashes were so long, red and shaped like poultry feathers.
"Down Me..! Toloong..! You are Basic ********..! Let go of me..!"
"♬♪They're beautiful, you don't be like this. Well, you better think I'll make you comfortable and safe, yo..!"
!!
The intent of Siu Yixin's words was to bring the woman she was carrying to safety, saving her from the calamity that would likely engulf the three empires. However, this woman actually interpreted it differently.
He increasingly shouted hysterically, several times banging on Siu Yixin's back and scolding her as a perverted man.
".. You just kidnap a young girl..! I have eleven children and two grandchildren..! Find a partner your age and let me go..!"
"♬♩ I only understand a little of what you say. I'm not a kidnapper, yo♩♪."
Siu Yixin stuffed the woman she was carrying into a wooden cage pulled by four horses.
Other than this woman, there were another ten people in the confinement, all of them were citizens of one of the cities in the Middle Sun Empire.
Siu Yixin was not alone, she was accompanied by about thirty people from a thousand of her teammates. They not only kidnap the citizens, but also take the treasures that can be used later.
There were some White Flow cultivators who had originally prevented Siu Yixin and her group, but after being given an understanding by one of the seemingly authoritative fellows they began to understand.
In fact, these cultivators had already felt a sense of unease ever since the cloudless clear sky had suddenly become cloudy and then sent down rain. The feeling returned strongly after hearing an explanation from one of Siu Yixin's comrades.
In the Central Sun Empire, Tianqi Mao was famous as the Weather Cat. He is a Demonic Beast who is recognized because his senses of climate change are not playing games.
He was not an oracle cat, Tianqi Mao was a cat who had always believed in his premonition. And the hunch of a cat never disappoints.
In the end, the cultivators from the White Stream who had previously opposed Siu Yixin and her comrades became helpful to them. Some also directly rushed off to the border area, intending to prove about the premonition Tianqi Mao had heard.
Rain continued to fall, occasionally lightning flashes between the dark clouds. The sounds of clashing weapons, screams, and sounds as the skin was hit by the slash fused with the swiftness of the rainwater.
Victims were seen falling in both opposing forces. The rain was like a pool of blood touching the ground.
Dai Chen, Li Qian Xie and Xiao Lu were at the very front of the line. They lunged and made a mess of the opponent's formation.
There was no fear that appeared on the faces of the three, the status of those who were cultivators made this war groove to be on the side of the Central Sun Empire.
THE TRAANG!
CRAASH!
Xiao Lu was the most nimble in this battle, he was truly like a field star. No soldier could survive more than three of his attacks.
THE TRAANG!
They initially repelled Xiao Lu's attack from their right, but quickly Dai Chen's wife used her Qi-enveloped legs to kick the soldier's 'future' section hard, and the third attack was an ending that instantly slashed their necks.
There is no such thing as a rule in a war that begins with a poisoned arrow. Cheating even became true in this war.
Yang Shu might look like an ordinary old geezer, he was a GrandElder but his sword talent was ordinary. However, the way to set a war strategy is not a joke.
As it was known, he was the Young Emperor of the Northern Continent. The figure of the leader who has always been awaited by his people, their favorite prince.
The Eleventh Prince who had never once fought a war, a reluctant prince brandished his sword, a figure they admired.
To his brothers, Yang Shu was a loser. The prince who was considered trash and became a disgrace to the emperor's family. No noble princess would want to marry a prince who had no position in the palace, let alone the blood of a rural lady flowing within her body.
Yang Shu had also never received any attention from the Emperor himself, as if he was just an ordinary person. He even always lost when doing battle training with his brothers, Yang Shu was an underestimated figure.
However, being an ostracized prince did not make him sad at all. Even he is very grateful, because in this way.. He was able to avoid the ill intentions of the humans who were thirsty for the throne of the Empire.
No one knew Yang Shu's pent-up talent other than himself. With his brain intelligence, he had been saved by the many problems arising from the emperor's palace.
"Sister?"
!
Yang Shu came to a realization when his younger brother, Yang Fu touched his shoulder. His eyes returned to the large paper on the table.
On the paper it covers the entire area of their war. Starting from the hills, trees, even the soldiers of the two empires were clearly visible on the slightly yellowish colored paper.
The green dots moving were Yang Shu's troops, while black was the opposing force. The red dot represents the second soldier of the empire to have been killed.
Just by standing at the rear base or also called the command tower, Yang Shu and his sister can see all forms of battle between their troops and enemy troops.
"Fu'Er, this is my first time participating in a war. Honestly, this doesn't make me happy.."
"There are people who can be happy in this worrying condition? The plot of war does support us, but no one is seen showing a smile on his face. Big brother, no one can laugh in this terrible battle.."
Yang Fu's words were indeed correct. If they win the war, there is no guarantee they can show a smile filled with happiness. Instead, there might be a smile full of sadness.
Elsewhere, precisely in the tent belonging to the Sun Emperor Drowned.. It appeared that the three people in front of them floated 3 huge wisps of water that showed the battle of the two empires
The wisp of water on the left highlighted the opposing army and the wisp of water on the right was the Emperor's army. While the wisp in the center that was larger in size highlighted the entire region of the fight.
One of the three is seen sitting on his big chair, he is wearing a golden red dress.
His face was not very clear because the lighting inside the headquarters was so minimal, only his posture only seemed to be about 23 years old.
There was one person standing to his left, a man dressed in all black with a sun emblem on the back of his robe, his face invisible from wearing a red fox mask.
These two people were none other than the Middle Sun Emperor and his accomplice, Zhe Eryu. The only female among them was Tu Liao, a short-clothed girl in golden-yellow outfits patterned on deciduous leaves, who was the top pillar of the Scarlet Shadow, the fifth seat.
The three still looked calm even though the war plot was not in their favor. Tu Liao who was lying on the emperor's bed seemed to be playing with his wavy hair, he had jade-black eyes, very charming with a face full of makeup.
Aside from being the top pillar of the Scarlet Shadow, Tu Liao was also the Middle Sun Emperor's concubine. She was the only beloved concubine, which was why she was so brave to lie on the Emperor's bed.
"Second Sister~ when will we move..? I'm already impatient.. Kill them all,"
Tu Liao slowly raised his right hand, he noticed the snake-shaped golden bracelet on his wrist.
A thin greenish-colored smoke came out from between his fingers. The smoke solidified and formed a painting brush with the pattern of a two-headed snake.
"Second Sister~ I'm already impatient~"
The masked man standing to the right of the Emperor glanced at Tu Liao, he then placed his right index finger at the mouth of his fox mask as a sign to ask the emperor's concubine to stop talking.
He whispered something in the Emperor's right ear and immediately got a nod response.
The Sun Emperor Sinking lips were instantly attracted forming a smile. Simultaneously the sound of lightning that was deploying made Dai Chen, Xiao Lu, Li Qian Xie as well as their soldiers shocked.
Unexpected help is coming..! It was the cultivators of the Demon Phoenix Sect. They had apparently helped the Sun-Drowning Emperor fight the forces of the Middle Sun Emperor.
!!
!!
This was no longer a war waged between fellow imperial soldiers. Dai Chen and his army could not handle it.
Far away elsewhere, Xiao Shuxiang also felt the same way. He had saved the last townspeople with his herbal concoction melted into golden smoke.
He had freed the disciples of the Lotus Flower Sect from being controlled by the soothing scent of the grass that did not even disappear when exposed to rainwater. Luckily the scent that made the sleeping was immediately neutralized from its golden smoke.
But just as his friends and cultivators felt this had all ended, something suddenly happened.
!!
The glob-sized black wisps of smoke that had previously originated from within the bodies of the humans that were being controlled and disappeared slowly now reappeared.
They gathered at one point and quickly solidified. The sound of lightning sounded along with the more intense the rain, that second also a sword formed from the previous wisp of black smoke.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was startled, the sword he saw stuck in the ground was very familiar to him.
It was his Night Star Sword.
!!
The gripping aura of the sword instantly filled the entire region of the Rising Sun Empire, even the aura felt up to the other two empires.
"THAT'S THE SKY HEIRLOOM..!!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was again shocked when he heard the cry of one of the senior cultivators who came from the Black Stream.
His body condition recovered after being saved by Xiao Shuxiang. But apparently, the golden smoke did not change his greed at all.
If the face painting of Xiao Shuxiang that had been spread around Duan De all this time was a lie, then it was different from the painting of the Night Star Sword.
The First Sky heirloom had a blade half of which was silvery white, while the other half up to the handle was black.
There are three patterns shaped like waves on both sides that become a barrier between the handle and the sheath of the sword.
These three patterns were made of silvery iron which became the support of both wrists of Xiao Shuxiang while holding the Sky Heirloom with both hands.
Cultivators who knew of such terrifying history would certainly never forget the features of the Night Star Sword.
"Heirloom..! That's the Real Sky Heirloom..!"
!!
The cultivators of the White and Neutral Stream were shocked when they saw the Black Stream cultivator darting rapidly towards that sword.
As their distance with the Night Star Sword was close to five meters, a shock wind instantly caused them all to bounce so far away that it even hit the ground, trees, and houses of the residents.
Xiao Shuxiang himself had yet to move from where he stood, he was tightly holding onto his White Jade Flute. The Night Star Sword he saw had an aura so dark, he did not recognize this aura.
Thin black smoke still enveloped the Night Star Sword. Slowly the smoke formed a pair of black gloved hands that seemed to hold the sword firmly.
The second shock wind instantly burst into anything, both humans and the trees around him. Xiao Shuxiang as well as the cultivators of the three Streams protected themselves from the shock wind.
!!
There were also some humans who could not be protected, they bounced around and almost hit the tree if not immediately captured by the White Flow cultivator.
As the black smoke enveloped the Night Star Sword formed a hooded human body.. Xiao Shuxiang immediately inserted his White Jade Flute into the Universal Bracelet and took out Ying xiong.
"So this is their plan.."
Xiao Shuxiang realized he had been framed. It was only fitting that the enemy did not stop him while using the White Jade Flute.
The song of 'serenity' was the same as the Heart Demon Cleansing Technique. The puff of black smoke coming out from the mouths, noses, and ears of the previous humans was a seed planted to further strengthen the gripping aura of the Night Star Sword.
Some uncontrolled Black Stream cultivators also got the effect of the 'Silence' song that Xiao Shuxiang played, they spewed out thick blood clots.
None of the cultivators made a sound, they seemed too surprised by what they saw. A figure like that young man was standing so close to the Heavenly Heirloom.
"The Treasure Will Be Mine..!"
"Give me that Sword..!!"
!!
Some greedy cultivators from the three streams flowed Qi on their respective swords. In that instant they immediately darted to snatch the Heavenly Heirloom from the figure whose face was covered in a black hooded robe.
"You're All Back off..!"
Xiao Shuxiang's cry was completely ignored. The handle of the Night Star Sword was only slightly shifted but the twenty attacking cultivators simultaneously instantly got five slash wounds each on their bodies.
CRAASH!
A BAAAM!
!!
Xiao Shuxiang saw the twenty cultivators from the different streams hit the ground with bodies full of deep slash wounds.
They're all.. No longer breathing.
!!
The figure holding the Night Star Sword instantly disappeared and appeared right in front of Xiao Shuxiang.
THE TRAANG!
He was only able to withstand an attack for one breath before bouncing twenty meters away with blood spurting on his arms, calves, and chest.
A BAAAM!
Xiao Shuxiang had only stopped after hitting the three houses that had previously been damaged, he coughed blood as he looked at the sky covered in dark clouds.
A flash of light was visible, the next second the back attack led to Xiao Shuxiang, this time he dodged and took a safe distance.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang's back, arms, and both thighs again spurted blood. He was very surprised, but obviously he avoided it in time.
"Ware..! I can die if I can't handle it right away,"
