XIAO SHUXIANG'S
416 - Concerns
!!
Nyawm!
Lan Xiao looked worried. This was the umpteenth time Lan Guan Zhi spewed blood. Her face was so pale with a cold body.
!!
Removing the Bone Penetrating Nail does look easy, but it is actually very difficult. Lan Guan Zhi was trying to control his breathing that had been irregular since.
"Don't worry.. I'm fine," her hands outstretched, she stroked the Moon Tiger's head slowly. His lips were slightly pulled upwards and formed a faint smile.
Lan Guan Zhi's face was dazzling, a peerless beauty. Even when he was in so much pain.
!!
Lan Guan Zhi spewed blood again. This time, a thin, blackish vein formed on his neck and cheeks. He could feel his heart as if it was being strongly pressed and then split in two. It was so painful that it almost died.
Lan Guan Zhi's eyes blurred, sweat dots running down his cheeks and neck. His breathing was breathless, his throat was sore, both of his hands were clenched tightly, he was in a lot of pain.
Nyawm..
Lan Xiao was trying to channel the life energy into the mother. She was afraid to see Lan Guan Zhi who was in so much pain even though this mother did not make any screaming sounds.
!!
The blood flow and Qi within Lan Guan Zhi's body was extremely chaotic. This was the impact of his actions that brought out the Bone Penetrating Nail in order to help Xiao Shuxiang.
It was created specifically for the Destroying Star. This is not a weapon that can be easily issued by a human, even though he is talented.
!!
New..!
Lan Xiao could not bear to see her mother suffer so much. He could not even do anything even though his life energy had already been flowed.
"Go.. And look for your mother.." Lan Guan Zhi's voice was weak, she couldn't even see Lan Xiao clearly. He could feel his dantian cracking.
Lan Xiao did not know what was really going on, yet he obeyed this remark of his mother and immediately ran out to go see Xiao Shuxiang.
When the Moon Tiger left, Lan Guan Zhi used his remaining strength to seal his own room. He did not want Lan Xiao to see his condition and grew sad.
!!
Blood stains formed on Lan Guan Zhi's clothes on her back and chest. It felt like he had just been stabbed by a sword. Even this severe pain, he still did not want to scream.
On the other hand, the removal of the Bone Penetrating Nail from Xiao Shuxiang's body made Qian Kun realize it. However, he just stood in the darkness of a room while staring straight at the golden flower plant before him.
His little snort sounded. Behind his fox mask, Qian Kun smiled faintly and thanked whoever the person who had taken out the Bone Penetrating Nail from Xiao Shuxiang's body.
?
Qian Kun's eyes glanced slightly to the side. He realized the presence of someone nearby.
"What's wrong?" qian Kun's voice sounded cold. He spoke to the figure beside him who was apparently a woman with a rag doll in her hand.
"The Northern Heavens Emperor.. He refused to cooperate," a small sobbing was heard as the woman made a sound. He was none other than Miao Gang, one of the members of the Blood Scarlet.
"No problem. The Northern Heavens Empire was filled with more Inner Powers, and the territory would indeed not be included in this plan."
"Master.. I am sad that they will become a troublesome stumbling block. My sorrow will increase if we don't take action.."
"Gang'Erb.." Qian Kun slightly narrowed his eyes and along with it - this room started to be filled with light from the lantern.
".. The Northern Heavens Emperor had a great ambition to control two empires, right under his feet. He chose the right choice by not taking his place on our side. I really support him,"
Qian Kun liked someone who was ambitious. In this case, of course, to master everything.
He knew, the Northern Heavens Emperor was an arrogant, stubborn, ruthless, merciless leader, and was honestly worthy of being deposed.
However, Qian Kun did not want world peace. He preferred chaos, oppression, and all sorts that would make this world tarnished.
Humans are fascinating creatures to make toys. Qian Kun greatly enjoyed when the humans raced to kill each other and stomp on each other's heads in order to reach the peak of glory.
Qian Kun's mission was to make Xiao Shuxiang stronger so that the boy could not control himself and put the world in darkness. What he is doing now is small steps towards his big goal.
"..."
Miao Gang never knew what his Master Qian Kun was thinking. He only knew that this masked young man before him was the father of Xiao Shuxiang, as well as the one who hated the young man so much.
Actually, he was eager to ask. Why did Qian Kun hate Xiao Shuxiang so much, even though this Master had a blood relationship with the figure who became the Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu.
"..."
While thinking about it, tears involuntarily drenched Miao Gang's cheeks. She was indeed a woman who easily cried, even she could do it for no reason whatsoever.
"Gang 'Er.. If there's nothing you want to say anymore, then go and get some rest. You must be so exhausted,"
"Mm, yes.. I am tired of crying. I'm tired of crying over those whose lives are coming to an end. Very sorry.."
Miao Gang tightly clutched the cloth puppet he was holding. His voice sounded sad, he then said goodbye and then walked away leaving Qian Kun alone in this room.
"..."
Qian Kun also pulled the 6 Shadow Warriors to his side, as well as teaming up with Gong Zitao and the Skull Sword Party to kill Xiao Shuxiang.
But in truth, they were nothing more than pawns to Qian Kun. They were all merely containers that would hold the power to later belong to his son.
The light of the room dimmed again, as Qian Kun began to wake up to the figure that released the Bone Penetrating Nail from Xiao Shuxiang's body.
"Young Master of the Sky Sword Sect.. He looks very protective of my son." There was a sense of concern in his eyes, ".. Too bad. Right now, he's probably gone."
!!
Far away at where Qian Kun was now, Xiao Shuxiang was suddenly shocked for no reason. He had just finished wearing his uniform and was about to get out of the room to start his usual activities.
For more than a week he didn't go out of the room and the boredom really almost killed him. He planned to have fun with his friends when his heart felt like it was hit by something.
"Lan Zhi's.."
Somehow, Xiao Shuxiang so thought of Lan Guan Zhi. Merely, he had not had time to get out of the room-Hu Li directly entered in a hurry.
"Young Master..!" hu Li's countenance looked worried, he only felt relieved when he saw his Young Master Xiao in a healthy state.
"Master, I'll be here as soon as I hear of your condition from Young Master Jing. Thank goodness you're healthy." Hu Li could not help but hug his Master, he made Xiao Shuxiang surprised.
!!
"You should never worry, Hu Li. Any danger approaching your master.. Completely unable to kill him," Xiao Shuxiang smiled and patted Hu Li's back gently as he occasionally rubbed her.
The presence of this loyal follower made Xiao Shuxiang forget his anxiety towards Lan Guan Zhi. He assured himself that the friend must be in good shape.
"I want to show you something, Hu Li.."
Just slightly narrowed his eyes and a Moving Mirror formed beside Xiao Shuxiang. He then pulled Hu Li's hand and invited the friend to enter the mirror.
The mirror faded and quickly disappeared when Hu Li was no longer visible. He and Xiao Shuxiang were in a vast expanse of land without a single blade of grass or tree in sight.
!!
Hu Li's eyes were round, the atmosphere in this place was too quiet and as if it was unpleasant. He gulped when he found out that his Young Master had brought himself to the Southern Continent.
"Sir, why did you bring me to this place? What do you want to show me?"
"Something I can't show you on any continent other than here. Look, Hu Li."
Xiao Shuxiang picked up a small pebble close to his foot. His body instantly floated up and the next second he shot up at high speed.
!!
Hu Li's eyes were hard to follow after his master. He could only really see Xiao Shuxiang when the young man stopped at one point in the air.
Hu Li narrowed his eyes. His Master's appearance was like a black dot in the sky-too small.
"What will Young Master Xiao do..?" Hu Li was curious, yet he did not move from where he stood.
Xiao Shuxiang himself seemed to be petting a small pebble in his hand. He began to flow a little bit of his Qi on the pebble and threw it so slowly.
The object fell from a height and continued to slide down. The longer, the pebble slide is getting faster and even to look sparks glowing.
!!
Hu Li blinked as he felt uneasy about what his Master had dropped. He rushed over before the pebble actually hit the ground.
BLAAAR...!!
Hu Li would not believe it if he did not see it for himself. The little pebbles his master dropped when he touched the ground were shocking.
When the pebble hit the ground, a sound like a lightning strike sounded terrifyingly powerful. Five pieces of artificial lightning formed and damaged the ground as far as 70 meters.
Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly at the results of his work. Imagine if the gravel hit was a village - then in an instant, the possibility of the village is a mess now.
"Young Master..!" Hu Li darted and approached Xiao Shuxiang, he floated beside the Alchemist chef.
"Hu Li, this is just a small dust from the damage I can inflict with my returning power. How do I call it now?" the grin that appeared on Xiao Shuxiang's face was unmistakable, it was his distinctive grin that was able to make the feathers goosebumps.
!!
Hu Li had difficulty swallowing his saliva, "Young Master Xiao. Please don't do whatever you have in mind right now. Live your life well and remember the people around you right now. They love you very much, Sir.."
"Calm down, Hu Li. I won't do any mess for now. I'm just showing you, that this Young Master Xiaomu is back."
Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment and let out a slight intention of killing him. At that instant, the Soul Restraint Chain Seal was active and was seen creeping on his wrist.
"This seal is no longer strong enough to hold me, even I can control it. It feels like this seal is now like a child's toy.."
"Young Master.." Hu Li did not like the tone of Xiao Shuxiang's voice, let alone the little snort from his Master. He was not sure if the young man beside him would not turn into a figure like in the past.
