XIAO SHUXIANG'S
315 - Raka Daksa
The Skull Sword Party had three buildings. One is four-storied and the other two are three-storied. The party has two leaders, the first is Raka Daksa, and the second is his own sister, Saka Daksa.
The death of the sister with a terrible condition makes Raka Daksa covered with revenge and anger.
The look in his eyes contained a deep hatred for whoever killed his sister.
There was nothing to return but the head of Saka Daksha, Barayuda, and the horrendous corpse of their comrades.
The bodies of Saka Daksa and Barayuda have been reduced to ashes, while at the scene no weapons were found, either belonging to Saka Daksa, Barayuda, or members of the Skull Sword Party who followed them.
One of the party members who appeared to be 34 years old informed that Saka Daksa and the party members who were with him first destroyed Semilir Air Village, then settled temporarily in the Forest of Silent Land.
".. From what we found. Lord Saka Daksa seemed to be fighting with a wandering swordsman and perhaps it was a cultivator. There are many horse footprints, and I think Mr. Saka Daksa has met an unusual opponent.."
All this time Saka Daksa's ability to fight in the dark of the night was undoubtedly by anyone in the Skull Sword Party. So when he found out he was dead, it would make party members feel shocked and in disbelief.
Saka Daksa's great ability in fighting in the dark has made him overlook one important thing.
It is when a person feels that he is the best, then his view seems blind to not realize how vast the world is, and certainly there will be a better person.
"Sister.."
Raka Daksa's eyes slowly bowed, he knew very well the nature of his sister who was so arrogant. This defeat was arguably the fault of his own brother. But should his sister be killed in this hellish way?!
"The fear that was seen on his face signified that he had the most painful death,"
!!
Raka Daksa was shocked when she heard a foreign voice along with a shadow right in front of her. Not only him, but the members of the Skull Sword Party were similarly shocked.
"Who are you..?!" exclaimed a Skull Sword Party swordsman, he seemed to draw his sword and acted as if he was ready to fight.
His comrades who numbered around thirty people also drew their weapons. This was a small number of the entire Skull Sword Party members.
You could say at this time many party members are looking for the existence of Saka Daksa and have not returned until now. The members did not know that Saka Daksha had been found, even if it was just his head.
Raka Daksa stood up and looked up, right where the shadow owner he saw was. His eyes looked at each other with the young man in black robes and hooded, and wearing the fox mask.
...
The night wind that blew quite fiercely seemed to toy with the young man's robe, even including Raka Daksa's own clothes and hair. He had only seen the masked young man for the first time in his sect.
!!
It was shocking when Raka Daksa just wanted to make a sound but the mysterious young man suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of her with his right hand touching his fox mask.
!!
Raka Daksa and the swordsmen of the Skull Sword Party could not move. Their feet are attached to the ground and difficult to lift.
"I'm here with information about your sister's death.."
The young man in black robes and hooded slightly unmasked his fox to show his two red eyes.
Raka Daksa unintentionally looked into the eyes of the fox masked young man in front of her and the next second.. The color of his eyes also reddened even after it was normal again.
"You want to know who killed your sister, don't you? I can tell you about his identity,"
The young man dressed in all black was wearing back his fox mask. What he had just done was to control a bit of Raka Daksa's mind so as not to doubt every single one of her words.
"Master-!!"
A new swordsman would shout back, but he instantly broke his intentions when Raka Daksa gave him a sign not to say anything.
Behind his mask, the mysterious young man smiled again. The ability he got from Sri Anyar turned out to be utilized in this way.
Indeed when healing Sri Anyar, Gong Zitao, Ge Yu Han, Wisesa, and others.. The fox masked man slightly absorbed the abilities of the person he healed.
This talent makes him able to give the abilities he gets to certain people he wants.
"You said you knew the name of my sister's killer. Quickly tell me, who's that guy..?"
Raka Daksa seemed to be unaware of being controlled, this was indeed natural because the fox masked young man only used a few tricks of his own.
"You sure you'll listen to him in this place..? My story will be quite long because not only is your sister's identity what I know, but also how your sister got to death,"
!!
Raka Daksa and the members of the Skull Sword Party looked shocked. Next he invited the fox-masked young man to come with him and talk elsewhere. He can move his legs back.
The swordsmen of the Skull Sword Party were still standing stiff. It seemed that it was only Raka Daksa who was released by the mysterious young man, not them.
"What's your name?"
Raka Daksa walked into the main building of the Skull Sword Party, he asked a question to the fox masked young man walking beside him.
"Qians.. Kun, whoa,"
..
The swordsmen of the Skull Sword Party began to be able to move their bodies as Raka Daksa and the fox-masked young man entered the main building.
One of the warriors named Dersana was seen sheathing his sword roughly. He clearly suspects the young masked fox is the mastermind behind the death of Saka Daksa.
"Came uninvited and coincided with the discovery of Chairman Saka's corpse, especially if he wasn't the culprit,"
"You're right, we have to be careful. Dam as much as possible, don't let Chief Raka get close to that person,"
One of the warriors said, he looks so young. His words were approved by his other brothers.
As the night wore on, Dersana and the Skull Sword Party warriors decided to bury Barayuda's head as well as the bodies of their other comrades.
Some warriors were seen closing their eyes tightly, as if they could not bear to see the body of his brother which in the internal organs of the intestine poking out.
Xiao Shuxiang did not burn all the corpses. After taking the treasures and weapons of Saka Daksa as well as the robbers who blocked his path, he left their bodies just like that.
It was not without reason that Xiao Shuxiang did this, he let the corpse of his opponent not be buried let alone burned was so that the wild beasts in the Forest of the Silent Land could obtain a bit of food, so they do not need to go out of the forest and make a scene in the village or city.
This was probably the crazy reason that had once crossed Xiao Shuxiang's mind. But if he knew, that most cultivators and warriors also had such opinions, not least those in the White and Neutral Stream.
If the fight was in the village, he would definitely leave the burial to the citizens.
But different if the fight was in the forest or an uninhabited place, he would definitely leave the corpse of his opponent just like that.
Even if there is something to be buried, it is nothing but the corpse of his own partner.

The fox masked youth followed Raka Daksa into a room, he occasionally circulated his gaze and judged this building to be large and suitable as the new Scarlet headquarters.
Raka Daksa's private room was large and spacious, allowing the masked young man to sit on one of the chairs.
Actually Raka Daksa is a type of person who has difficulty believing the word stranger, especially if the person is so mysterious, he will certainly attack and even end up in an all-out fight.
But because his mind was slightly controlled by the fox masked young man without him noticing.. Raka Daksa for the first time became a man who wanted to hear.
"You could say, I'm a witness who knows what happened to your brother,"
Raka Daksa, "Can't you take off your mask first and we'll talk?"
The fox-masked young man nodded and began to take off his mask.
Her eyes were still red, but what was quite surprising was that she had a pretty face.
Her voice also began to turn feminine after the mask was removed, her face was pure white with lips as soft as flowers, Raka Daksa even unconsciously forgot to blink when she found out who she was talking to.
Not only did he forget to blink, his breathing seemed to be stuck in his throat and he also had difficulty swallowing saliva.
There were not many female warriors in the Skull Sword Party, even if there were.. They were not as beautiful as the girl in front of him.
"I took it off, do you want to hear me now..?"
!!
It was difficult to express how Raka Daksa was feeling at this moment, the lips of the girl who was pulled upwards and formed that smile as if making her heart stop beating for a moment. He had never felt anything like this before.
Without opening her black hood, the girl began to tell the plot of events that befell Saka Daksa in the Forest of the Silent Land as well as mentioning the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' as the perpetrator of the death of Saka Daksa.
".. You probably won't believe what I'm saying. I know that, a doubt in the speech of a stranger is something natural. I totally understand. But all I can say is.. You should look for Xiao Shuxiang if you want to prove my point,"
Raka Daksa thought for a moment of the girl before opening her voice. "What exactly is your goal to help me?"
"Hm. Not you, but I need help. No one who does not know the Skull Sword Party in the Three Empires, being able to establish cooperation with your party is the wish of a person like me.."
The girl in front of Raka Daksa also said that she was not from the Middle Continent, and her arrival here was due to being involved in trouble with Xiao Shuxiang.
".. But who would have thought that person was even making trouble with your party. After I found out I came straight here because I thought we had the same enemy,"
"Miss, but I don't know for sure if the young man you said was really involved with my sister's death or not, I still have to prove it.."
The girl in front of Raka Daksa nodded in agreement, she then stood up and began to say that Raka Daksa could bring her people to the Sky Pagoda Sect, since Xiao Shuxiang was the 'Protective Guardian' the Ling Qing Zhu. Hearing him suddenly made Raka Daksa surprised.
"Sekte Pagoda Langit.." hearing the name made Raka Daksa clenched tightly both hands, it seemed that she was currently very upset.
"Hm? Is there something wrong with the sect?"
Rak Daksa replied in a voice that seemed to be filled with anger. All along, his party had indeed never gotten along with the Sky Pagoda Sect. It was because the sect had too much dominance over the Middle Sky Empire.
Many members of Raka Daksa who could not freely move and spread a lot of fear as it continued to be blocked by the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
The black-hooded girl seemed to smile faintly when she saw the look on Raka Daksa's face, "The hatred in your eyes.. It looks so beautiful,"
!!
Daksa's rack flinched and immediately stared at the black-robed and black-clad girl who started walking towards the door.

".. You better think about my story. After all it would not hurt to come and ascertain whether Xiao Shuxiang was really the perpetrator of your sister's death or not.."
The girl returned to wearing her fox mask and began to open the door. He left Raka Daksa alone.
It seemed like the Skull Sword Party's Chief did not pay much attention to the body of the girl he was talking to earlier.
In all black clothes, complete with a robe, and the hood is in the same color.. The girl had a flat chest, not to mention the way she walked by did not show that she was a girl at all.

The sound of his footsteps slowly swallowed along with his body which began to turn transparent before finally disappearing.
That night seemed to be the beginning of the difficulties that Xiao Shuxiang and his friends had to face. He himself did not know his enemy was starting to take the first step of the grand plan that would likely be the cause of the great chaos in the Central Continent.
Don't think about the problems that are coming.. Xiao Shuxiang even appeared to be soundly asleep on a piece of rope while snoring quite loudly. He and the Mad Beggar Boy filled the room with their snoring sounds.
Even though that night, Sri Anyar and his five younger siblings began working to invite one by one the criminals they knew to join the Blood Scarlet.
Just as the morning sunlight began to illuminate the highest floor of the Nine Level Pagoda.. Xiao Shuxiang finally woke up from his sleep.
Usually he was the one who was the most difficult to awaken when he was already asleep, but this was truly a miracle of himself being able to wake up on his own even faster than the Mad Beggar Boy.
Xiao Shuxiang descended from his stretch of rope, he tidied up and stored the long rope into his Spatial Ring.
He slightly snorted when he saw the Crazy Beggar Boy still faithfully snoring with his supine body position, but in a chaotic condition of clothing.
"Ck ck.. Whatever he's doing.." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly, himself stepping towards the wooden bulkhead and intending to clean himself up.
The sound of the birds chirping in this bright cloudless morning also seemed to welcome the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect out from where he performed the Heart Demon Cleansing.
He was the father of Ling Lang Tian and Ling Qing Zhu, had long white hair with blue eyes, his face was clean as well as handsome. He was very old, but his body and face looked as if he was 39 years old. His name was none other than Ling Chu Zhen.
