XIAO SHUXIANG'S
348 - Sealing Two Gates at Once
In addition to the remaining three World Gates, the places displayed inside Xiao Shuxiang's moving mirror were locations where his feet had once been incised.
One example was the residence of the Snow White Emperor, the image of the palace was clearly visible on the mirror floating in front of this Xiao Shuxiang.
He and Tianqi Mao could even see the princes practicing swords against some formidable warriors. They both seem to be the watchdogs of this world.
".. It would be great if we were also able to hear the sounds of their fight and conversation,"
"Maybe if I focus on one point, we can hear his voice.."
Xiao Shuxiang tried to concentrate, this made most of his moving mirrors disappear and left around nine mirrors alone.
!
Tianqi Mao flinched, he started to hear the sounds of fighting and some other sounds that seemed to come out from these nine mirrors in front of him.
He could not hide his admiration. As the one who taught Xiao Shuxiang this Mirror Transferring technique.. Tianqi Mao felt extremely proud.
"Don't praise me too much, but ya.. I'm amazing,"
Xiao Shuxiang's smile was still expanding on his face, he and Tianqi Mao had yet to leave this room. It seemed like they still wanted to see and admire the move of the Moving Mirror.
...
No one spoke to each other for about five minutes, until Xiao Shuxiang spoke first.
"I'm going,"
"Hm? Where to?" Tianqi Mao turned his head, he slightly looked up to be able to stare at the face of the young man beside him.
Xiao Shuxiang continued to set his gaze in the mirror. His eyelids moved slightly and simultaneously the mirror in front of him began to change with another moving mirror.
This time the look on the mirror was the World Gate which was in a green meadow. Seeing him made Tianqi Mao guess where Xiao Shuxiang was going.
"Are you going there now?"
"I'm gonna have to test this mirror. I feel like I can do it,"
"You don't want to rest first?"
For two weeks Xiao Shuxiang conducted closed-door training that drained his energy and mental well, so it was only natural for this young man to rest and regroup.
".. You can test your moving mirror tomorrow, you'd better rest and recover your energy,"
"Tianqi Mao, you don't seem to know me. In the Middle Continent, I might be able to get exhausted quickly, but not in this continent. Two weeks isn't even enough to drain 50 percent of my energy.."
Xiao Shuxiang knew very well the limits of his own energy and mentality, he was the one who understood the most about the condition of his body, and at this time he was still very capable even to fight it out.
".. Then I'll go first,"
Immediately after saying so, the Xiao Shuxiang Moving Mirror grew as tall as an adult body. In one breath, the Alchemist Chef darted into his Mirror of Transference.
!
The departure of Xiao Shuxiang did not make the nine moving mirrors disappear, this was one form of enhancement that again made Tianqi Mao cluck in awe.
"I'm sure the location of the world gate is far from here, but Shuxiang being able to keep his mirror in this place is impressive. Behind his mischievous behavior, he's a great young man,"
Tianqi Mao watched the mirror in front of him, he could see Xiao Shuxiang now in front of the seventh World Gate. In addition, Tianqi Mao could also hear the sound of the young man's feet stepping on the grass along with the fluttering of his clothes.
Tianqi Mao noticed the look of every mirror floating in front of him. His gaze then led to one of the mirrors that displayed an atmosphere that was quite disturbing.
Actually, there are three mirrors that have dark shades. The first was a mirror that displayed the Black Emperor Mountain in the Demon World, and the second was the location of the eighth World Gate that existed in the Western Continent.
?
Tianqi Mao's forehead shriveled as he looked at the look on the other mirror. The place was very dark, but before long a blood-red wave flashed like it cut through the darkness.
When Tianqi Mao focused on looking at the mirror.. He faintly saw another wave, yet it was thinner and faded purple. The waves are more and more like flames, but in slow motion.
"What place is that..?"
Tianqi Mao could see nothing but dark shades with waves that he thought were very strange. He intended to ask her when Xiao Shuxiang returned.

The Seventh World Gate that Xiao Shuxiang was currently visiting alone was in the territory of the South-Central Continent Sky Empire.
It is a vast meadow on one of the artificial islands, Lotus Flower Island.
Actually, it's hard to get to this place. The Map of the Middle Continent.. The location of the island is marked as an unknown point.
This island has the privilege, which can disappear just like that and appear suddenly, but in a different place. More than that.. The terrain to reach the island is very difficult to traverse.
Lucky because by using the style of the Transferring Mirror that has evolved-Xiao Shuxiang did not have to pass through various places to get here.
As far as the eye could see there was only a green meadow other than an 8 meter tall gate that stood firmly in front of Xiao Shuxiang. Blowing wind that is strong enough to make the grass appear to be waving in accordance with the direction of the wind.
"It's weird..? Usually the gates of the world always had guards, now there were none. Is this gate fake..? But where is it possible.."
Xiao Shuxiang was struggling with his own thoughts, he touched the gate in front of him and it was clearly real. The confusion was then answered when a flapping sound was heard accompanied by a black shadow that seemed to pass over it.
?!
Xiao Shuxiang looked up, he saw a bird with wings that were expanding seemed to make a spinning motion in the air. The animal quickly swooped down and made Xiao Shuxiang reflexively jump backwards to take some distance.
!!
The two animal legs were perched on the Seventh World Gate. He has sharp and strong claws. From the ground up - He looks like a mighty bird.
Xiao Shuxiang's eyes and the bird's sharp eyes looked at each other. From what is seen, the bird has a height of about ten meters, the stretch of both wings is certainly not like other birds in general.
Even when he swooped down earlier, Xiao Shuxiang could feel like he was being blown away by a strong wind, it was fortunate that he was still able to maintain his balance as well as his calmness.
This animal he saw had a golden brown fur, twisted beak but looked so sharp. The aura like the ruler of the sky really seemed to radiate in his body as well as the gaze of his eyes.
To that big bird-Xiao Shuxiang was both a food as well as a bully in his realm. He just wanted to attack, but his intention stopped when he saw the person's body emit a strange flash of light.
The glint was actually not made by Xiao Shuxiang, but rather came from the Phoenix Spirit that was on his back. The Fire Phoenix reacted and revealed its form in front of the guards of the Seventh World Gate.
Although spirit-shaped, in fact the Phoenix bird was able to emit a loud voice that was quite clear in Xiao Shuxiang's ear.
!!
The long-haired young man was shocked as the gatekeeper also let out a sound, the bird as if it was mutilating his Fire Phoenix spirit.
Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he wondered if perhaps his Phoenix spirit was talking to the huge bird that was before him. And that's true, the proof is that the two birds are talking to each other.
About three minutes heard the sound of the animal that Xiao Shuxiang did not understand.. Finally the large bird perched on the Seventh World Gate slowly changed its body size to small along with the Fire Phoenix Spirit slowly disappearing.
"Hm? What exactly happened..?"
The World Gatekeeper started flapping his wings and then flew towards Xiao Shuxiang. His arrival made the long-haired young man subconsciously extend his right hand.
"Actually what are you talking about with my Phoenix Spirit Apiku, hm?" Xiao Shuxiang unhesitatingly rubbed the head of the bird perched on his right arm. ".. I usually understand what animals say, but not what you're talking to them about,"
Whatever the Fire Phoenix Spirit discussed with this eagle-It was definitely a good thing as well as beneficial for Xiao Shuxiang.
The proof was that he did not have to fight to be able to seal back the World Gate. The perching of the eagle in his hand was as proof that he was allowed to seal on the Seventh World Gate.
Xiao Shuxiang stepped foot, he sealed the gate as usual and this time without any hindrance.
He thanked her and left a little herbal plant for the eagle.
Tianqi Mao who was in his residence witnessed all the events that Xiao Shuxiang had experienced clearly.
At first he thought there was going to be a fight, but in fact it did not happen. Xiao Shuxiang left in a safe state and returned home in the same condition.
"You saw it, right? Sealing the seventh World Gate was not as difficult as before. I don't need to go undercover let alone fight with Demonic Beasts,"
Xiao Shuxiang did not expect this, he exhaled a sigh of relief and then said that the remaining two gates that he needed to seal and his mission of the Blind Grandfather the Author of the Book of Two Breathing would be completed.
"So what now are you going to leave again? The atmosphere around the World Gate that existed in the Western Continent and the Southern Continent seemed gripping. It's likely that your condition won't be the same as the previous one,"
"I know that, so you should be ready to help me if something bad happens." Xiao Shuxiang patted Tianqi Mao's head slowly and began to slowly shake his left hand.
His moving mirror began to change with another mirror. He then darted into the mirror and then arrived at a slum in the Western Continent.
.
.
The atmosphere was very very different from the three continents that Xiao Shuxiang had previously visited.
In this place, the surroundings were like a night with specks of rain.
?!
"Uh, what's this smell..?"
The smell that Xiao Shuxiang smelled was too pungent and this was clearly the foreign smell that he had once smelled.
"What is this place? Dead valley? Ancient ruins? Why should the World Gate exist in this kind of bad place?"
While grieving many things, Xiao Shuxiang kept moving his legs. He was like walking in the mud, Tianqi Mao's clothes were white and even wet and dirty.
Vaguely Xiao Shuxiang heard a thumping sound, he was sure that there was a fight at the moment, but because the distance between himself and the voice was quite far.. He doesn't seem to care.
On both sides of Xiao Shuxiang were damaged buildings, clearly unkempt and uninhabited. He even stepped on the rubble of the building several times and almost slipped.
Just like in the Middle Continent, in this place Xiao Shuxiang could not sense Qi. But compared to his curiosity-He preferred to finish sealing the gate and return immediately.
!!
This time Xiao Shuxiang heard a shouting voice, he stopped and then looked back. About ten meters from where he stood.. Xiao Shuxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on the distant intersection in front of him.
His hearing and gaze sharpened, he could hear the sound of water rustling as if some people were running.
The scream became clearer as he saw several people passing by in white clothes.
They are three children who appear to be 12 to 14 years old. Due to the improvement in the skill of the Moving Mirror, Xiao Shuxiang regained his ability to see in the dark. He could tell that one of the three children just now was a woman, yet he did not say a word.
?!
There was another child running behind the three children, he was a boy of about 13 years old with short hair. In the boy's hand was a weapon that Xiao Shuxiang was unfamiliar with.
The boy stopped in the middle of the intersection and immediately turned around to the back.
He used the weapon he was carrying and just once a strike, sparks shot out from the tip of the weapon accompanied by a loud sound.
On the left waist of the child was tucked a sword, yet what looked like he was more expertly wielding the strange weapon he was holding.
The boy ran after his friends and it seemed that he did not realize he was being noticed by Xiao Shuxiang.
"What kind of kid was holding a gun..? Shaped like a block of wood, but is it really a block of wood..? The problem is they ran away from what..?"
Xiao Shuxiang looked curious, but as soon as he shook his head, he brushed aside his curiosity. "Hmph, why should I care. My problems are too many, there's no reason for me to add any more.."
Xiao Shuxiang turned around and walked back towards the Eighth World Gate, but only a few steps away.. He heard a strange sound from behind him.
His premonition worsened, as he turned around-at the previous intersection, where the children had been passing-Xiao Shuxiang could see someone walking with strange footsteps.
His right foot is facing forward, but his left foot is facing backward. His head was tilted to the left with his neck as if slashed.
!
The man was like a man of about 40 years old, his clothes dirty, wet, and full of tears. On his forehead was a wound and from the skin of his face that was so pale.. Xiao Shuxiang knew that the person was an undead.
Xiao Shuxiang involuntarily held his breath as he watched the corpse pass by just like that, he exhaled a sigh of relief from feeling that the corpse was unaware of its existence.
".. I thought it was gonna be dangerous. Geez, I've never been this tough before. I'd better get my job done and get the hell out of here,"
Xiao Shuxiang's intention was indeed so, but the undead fellow who had also walked at the intersection instead walked into the passageway where Xiao Shuxiang was. The other bodies followed behind him.
The first corpse that Xiao Shuxiang had previously seen also turned around and caught up with his companions.
They had the color of eyes like a dead fish with a face and body full of terrible wounds.
The sound of water splashing made Xiao Shuxiang aware of being followed by danger. Immediately he took out Yinng xiong from within his Universal Bracelet.
"The smell in this place is really bad, and now there's another carcass coming at me.."
If he could choose, Xiao Shuxiang would rather smell the blood rancid smell compared to the smell in this place. But even making a complaint was useless, he had to fight right now.
Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment before the next second he disappeared and appeared right in the middle of the body set with a sword swinging strongly.
OH, BAAAM..!
Five bodies were bounced at once with three of them hitting the wall of a building that appeared to be made of bricks.
The bodies of the three bodies were crushed on the back and back of their heads, yet strangely enough.. They can still get up and move.
But it only lasted for three seconds until the bodies fell and turned into bones.
Xiao Shuxiang attacked the other corpses, the absence of resistance from these corpses made his attack hit the target easily. Moreover, he used his most dangerous sword.. Ying xiong.
OH, BAAAM..!
Actually what was a bully was the number of these undead that Xiao Shuxiang did not know how many. But want as much as they can.. There was no sense of trepidation on the face of this Guardian Protector Ling Qing Zhu.
He continued to attack without caring about the surrounding buildings collapsing and overwriting the corpses. The loud sound of his fight even to the point of being heard within a distance of 15 meters.
Elsewhere, the four children who had previously run from the dead appeared to stop when they heard a loud thump.
They looked at each other and then looked back.
