XIAO SHUXIANG'S

419 - Meeting of the Three Heavenly Heirlooms

To Shouxing, the young man in white uniform next to him was the most stupid person because despite being shown the ugliness of the Star of Destruction, this young man still held so much trust in his heart.

Shouxing only wanted Lan Guan Zhi to realize that Xiao Shuxiang was not an ordinary young man, he was the definition of darkness as well as cruelty.

A figure like Xiao Shuxiang did not deserve a friend as good and sincere as Lan Guan Zhi. The Destroying Star must be cut down, bound, and thrown into the bottomless abyss or burned alive in the eternal flames.

"What does it feel unbearable? You must have enjoyed it when your ribs were pulled out, right?" the lips of a young man were attracted and formed an evil grin, his eyes seemed to flash watching how his victims were suffering in pain.

The young man was dressed all in black, he was none other than an adult Xiao Shuxiang who was a creation from Shouxing's memories.

Lan Guan Zhi watched as his best friend pulled out the ribs of a 42-year-old man. He turned his gaze when he was not strong to see how cruel the actions of his friend were.

Currently, Lan Guan Zhi had yet to return home to his world. He was still with Shouxing, the Night Star Sword Spirit who had a close relationship with Xiao Shuxiang.

Actually, Lan Guan Zhi wanted to stop this cruelty he witnessed. Really, his friend was too late.

On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was so enjoying the man's clutching screams. His eyes flashed red and stared excitedly as he managed to slip one of his hands to squeeze the organs in his victim.

!!

The scream Lan Guan Zhi heard was too painful to the ears. He wasn't sure if the sound didn't damage Xiao Shuxiang's eardrum even though his good friend was just some sort of flashback picture shown by the Night Star Sword Spirit.

Shouxing knew what Lan Guan Zhi was thinking, he stared straight ahead - right where Xiao Shuxiang pulled out the cultivator's heart, and then started talking to Lan Guan Zhi.

"For Xiang'Er, the shout was like melodious music. You should've seen your best friend's inhumane actions,"

"..."

Lan Guan Zhi did not say anything. He remembered the way of fighting his friend who was indeed unlike cultivators in general, even that was much worse than Black Flow cultivators.

"Then and now.. Shuxiang's fighting manner never changed." Lan Guan Zhi finally opened his voice.

"Mrs. So, do you understand Young Master Lan now? Xiang'Er still maintained his fighting style, and it was not impossible that he also maintained his thoughts. He hates and antagonizes humans."

The atmosphere was suddenly uncomfortable as Shouxing spoke. The tone of his speech felt cold and could cast doubt in the heart of someone who heard it.

".. You could have put a lot of trust in Xiang'Er, but don't expect him to do the opposite to you. The man you consider a good friend, only believes in himself. That was Xiao Shuxiang's way of dealing with the cruelty of this world."

Lan Guan Zhi looked at the charismatic young man beside him. He had not heard the sound of roaring, including the voice of his best friend.

"I know what you mean show this all. You want me to go and leave Shuxiang.." Lan Guan Zhi was silent for a moment before continuing.

He said that he would never leave Xiao Shuxiang behind. Hearing him made Shouxing curious, why was Lan Guan Zhi so concerned about the person who had clearly come close to destroying the Eastern Continent?

What kind of kindness had Xiao Shuxiang done that Lan Guan Zhi trusted him so much? If it was just a return, then Lan Guan Zhi had already paid for it.

"Grf.." Shouxing snorted, ".. Don't be so naive, Young Master Lan. A person who is more controlled by his heart to make decisions will always lead others and himself into danger. You're.. May invite death to those around you."

"I never let my heart walk alone.." Lan Guan Zhi looked at Shouxing, her words looking so convincing.

".. I know Shuxiang is hard to turn into a good human being, but he is easily affected by the darkness of evil, especially if the one who persuades him there is someone from the past who is so important to him. But.."

Lan Guan Zhi stared straight ahead for a moment before turning his gaze to the sky. Then he returned to voice.

".. Shuxiang now had a chance to change. I don't want him to be away from his current life and away from his friends. I don't want him to stay away from me."

"Then what can you do now?"

"You'll help me."

Shouxing smiled hearing the definitive answer from Lan Guan Zhi. He then said that it took strength to be on par with Xiao Shuxiang.

".. Young Master Lan, you can't return to your world with your decayed state. But if you accept me, your body will be reshaped and this time stronger than ever."

Shouxing did not forget to explain the risk if Lan Guan Zhi was willing to accept it. That risk was the nature of the future Grand Elder of this Heavenly Sword Sect would likely change slightly.

".. I'll say it clearly. If you accept me, you will stand between light and darkness. If your heart is not strong, darkness can swallow you up. You could be worse than Xiang'Er."

Shouxing was just a sword spirit that should have disappeared long ago. However due to the Ancestral Spirit Light, he was able to go back and talk to Lan Guan Zhi like now.

Actually not only himself, but also the spirit of the two heavenly heirlooms that Yinng xiong had sucked in this place. It was just that they had not been willing to show their form to Lan Guan Zhi.

"I am very weak right now. I shouldn't be a burden to the people I'm trying to protect. If you're willing to help, I certainly won't refuse."

"You should think about it, Young Master Lan. This decision is not as easy as you might think. To be honest, you are a very young human being and I myself am a sword spirit who has been influenced by many cold-hearted cultivators. Accepting me is tantamount to threatening your humanity."

Lan Guan Zhi actually knew this was a dangerous thing. He himself had been very uncomfortable from the beginning with the presence of this young man beside him, especially after hearing the words just now.

There was a pressing aura and it felt very dark emanating on Shouxing's body. Something so terrible that he couldn't explain it.

However, considering that his body was now dead and now only his spirit was left - there was no way he would waste the chance fate had given him.

If indeed later the darkness will swallow his human heart after receiving Shouxing's help, then it is also included in his destiny. Right now, he had no choice but to return.

".. Shuxiang can do dangerous things if she knows about me. I need to get home soon"

"Wouldn't you rather just die?"

!?

There was a small child's voice heard and it was shocking to Lan Guan Zhi. He was unaware of the presence of a 10-year-old boy, right behind him.

Lan Guan Zhi turned around, his eyes looking at a child dressed in all white with eyes that were bright red.

There was a thin blackish vein on the boy's right cheek, and a lightning-shaped scar on his left forehead. He grinned broadly towards Lan Guan Zhi.

"My name is Dao Xiao Sheng, the spirit of the White Jade Flute at once who has been watching you since the beginning of your arrival at this place."

The smile never disappeared from the boy's face. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and acted so arrogantly.

Lan Guan Zhi did not say anything. He only put on a flat face and a calm look of his. Unlike him, Shouxing was actually less happy to see the arrival of the boy.

"You shouldn't show up now, Xiao Sheng."

"Hmm, why? I just want to say hello to this young man, what's wrong with that? I'm not looking for any trouble with him at all,"

"Your arrival has even been the beginning of trouble."

Dao Xiao Sheng instead laughed at Shouxing's words just now. He held his stomach that felt tickling due to constantly laughing.

".. Am I that bad? It really feels like a compliment. You have a great talent for humor, Shouxing." Dao Xiao Sheng patted the arm of the dazzling young man beside him and then returned a wide grin towards Lan Guan Zhi.

Unlike her, Shouxing instead felt that her speech just now was not funny. Merely, this boy beside her was indeed a bit strange.

!?

Now, even the sky and the ground looked all white. Occasionally passing small blue and golden yellow light that looks like a shooting star.

Lan Guan Zhi circulated his gaze around and only found himself as well as these two spirits from the Heavenly Heirloom before him.

He then set his gaze on Dao Xiao Sheng and watched the celestial heirloom spirit closely.

Despite having a childlike body shape, but the aura emanated in Dao Xiao Sheng's body was not something worth ignoring.

"I didn't think you were talented enough to carry yourself, Young Master Lan. Your attitude that is so calm even in my presence deserves praise," Dao Xiao Sheng again grinned widely, he is indeed a spirit that really likes to do that.

"Young Master Lan -"

"Shouxing, you've talked a lot before. Now it is my turn," Dao Xiao Sheng cut off the Night Star Sword's spirit speech, as the young man was about to speak.

He was very fond of looking for trouble, and his attitude was more or less the same as that of Xiao Shuxiang. And yaah.. Dao Xiao Sheng was indeed the most powerful Sky Heirloom spirit among the other sky heirloom spirits.

Shouxing let out a slow breath, he should be the most ruthless and wild spirit considering that he had always been worn by Black Flow cultivators. But in fact, his self-care looks more authoritative and very calm.

"Heirloom has not been given the order according to the time of manufacture, but based on how famous the heirloom is. The Night Star Sword had been known as the first celestial heirloom, but it was actually the White Jade Flute that got its prime first," Dao Xiao Sheng said for Lan Guan Zhi to remember this.

He then walked and like surrounding the forehead-clad young man, his hands appeared to be behind his waist. The manner of walking and the gaze of Dao Xiao Sheng's eyes never came off with an aura of arrogance.

"There have been many monsters and cultivators from the Black Stream that have been my food.." Dao Xiao Sheng grinned faintly, he only turned his head to the right and at that instant - a vast expanse of field with a vast expanse of human and animal corpses visible.

".. Many legendary animals that bend their knees and end up being my snack in a short time. You won't even be able to count their numbers. And most importantly, the cultivator's sense of being filled with Revenge was the best," Dao Xiao Sheng laughed, he looked much more evil compared to Shouxing.

Lan Guan Zhi was actually surprised to see the spirit nature of the White Jade Flute, but his curiosity was much greater. "Have you not been in the hands of a cultivator-"

"White and Neutral Flow? Sure do. Of course, and that's the best.." Dao Xiao Sheng this time cut off Lan Guan Zhi's remark, ".. I helped those warriors to fight the strongest enemy that could potentially bring destruction, and in return.. I ate their souls."

Shouxing, "There is a price to pay for those who use an heirloom with a spirit in it as a weapon. Surely, you already know this.. Young Master Lan."

Lan Guan Zhi nodded confirming, the story of an heirloom spirit eating the soul of its own owner is already very much discussed in the books that are inside the level nine pagoda of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The story of the Three Heavenly Heirlooms did not escape his memory, but indeed-the ones written in the book sometimes do not correspond to actual reality.

"We shouldn't have been in this place, and I should have regained that glorious period" Dao Xiao Sheng snorted, ".. It's a pity that everything ended up falling apart due to the arrival of a crazy sword that I didn't even want to mention by name,"

There was a pique at Dao Xiao Sheng's words just now, he still clearly remembered how he had been driven out from within the flute he had been living in for so long. All this because the new owner with his crazy sword who is too fanatical wants to master everything.

"Hmph," Shouxing snorted, "You're just mad at not being able to accept the fact that there's a better heirloom than you."

Dao Xiao Sheng stared intently at Shouxing, he had just bragged himself in front of Lan Guan Zhi and the all-black-clothed young man beside him had instead dropped his name.

"Yinng xiong is an heirloom of the devil, he is no better than me. He was created from a cursed iron, forged by someone even worse. I would at least willingly have to be in the hands of a demon youth like Xiao Shuxiang."

Dao Xiao Sheng had actually long since wanted to devour the soul of the Destroying Star. Unfortunately his intention was read by Ying xiong and he ended up in a place like this.

"That's because you're greedy and want to be the only one in power. It's also good that the sword came so that you could reflect that there was something greater than you."

!!

The female voice and both Dao Xiao Sheng and Shouxing knew him. Both of them without turning their heads and were already aware of the presence of a figure in front of them.

Lan Guan Zhi also heard a voice just now. He gasped when he felt someone's hand holding him from behind.

"Young Master Lan.. Do you want to marry me?"

!!

Lan Guan Zhi spontaneously turned his head to the right, his eyes instantly met a glance with the jade-black eyes of a beautiful woman. Unconsciously holding his breath.

The woman looked to be 24 years old, wearing a fairly revealing red outfit with skin that was so smooth without blemishes.

Her hair is long, dark in color with pliable eyelashes. She has red lips as smooth as a flower and a small mole under her right eye.

"Young Master Lan, if you look at me without saying anything. I'll assume you agree,"

"Sorry, Miss. I'm.." Lan Guan Zhi tried to let go of the beautiful woman's embrace that had somehow come out of nowhere, but she was instead shocked because the woman put her index finger on her lips as if to signal her not to talk.

"Young Master Lan~ what in your sect you're not taught not to turn down a girl, hmm? You could've hurt her heart~"

Lan Guan Zhi stretched out her hand, she grabbed the index finger of the woman before her and then lowered it slowly. He apologized so politely.

"Yue An, can't you show up in a mediocre way? You look like a shameless woman." Dao Xiao Sheng said curiously, he looked disdainfully at the woman before him.

"Hm? You like to interfere in other people's business. Shouldn't you be the one keeping your attitude? You are still a child and have dared to speak so rudely, learn from Young Master Lan's attitude that is so polite and more respectful to women,"

"Satan like you doesn't deserve my respect, so stay away and you'd better get out of here."

"Hmph, if I don't.. You're gonna what?"

Dao Xiao Sheng stared in annoyance at Chi Yue An. The voice of the beautiful woman with the seductive look had made the veins on her forehead stiffen. He desperately wanted to kill the spirit from the Protective Cloak.

"Can't you two get along a little?" Shouxing was actually tired of being the mediator between these two celestial heirlooms.

He who has been in the Black Stream region, a place that is famous for being full of evil and even himself who seems like the wisest spirit.

"Shouxing, you just never know how sickening this woman is. The Light of the Ancestral Spirit was indeed unable to discern, which spirits should be saved and which ones would not." Dao Xiao Sheng sneered.

Chi Yue An snorted, she was already no longer acting spoiled towards Lan Guan Zhi. Her ears were hot when she heard the voice of the boy before her.

"I'm nauseating? Thanks for the compliment. You seem to be ready for me to send you to hell." Chi Yue An's body began to be enveloped in a thin reddish smoke. He was preparing to fight.

"Huh? You wanna try it? Do it if you can." Dao Xiao Sheng unperturbedly welcomed Chi Yue An. His body began to be enveloped in golden white smoke.

Both of them had a strong pressure and aura. They almost fought each other if not directly reprimanded by Shouxing.

"Stop you two!"

!!

Chi Yue An and Dao Xiao Sheng stared at each other intently, then immediately turned their faces away accompanied by a snort. They both look like brothers and sisters fighting.

"Young Master Lan isn't here to see you guys fighting each other. You guys humiliate yourself," Shouxing shook his head softly while clucking.

It was unexpected that the two celestial spirits who should be more in control because living in the Two Neutral and White Streams instead had this kind of wild person.

Lan Guan Zhi himself remained calm and occasionally blinked. At first he was indeed quite tense from dealing with three spirits from the heavenly heirloom all at once. But after some time, he felt that these three spirits did not look scary.

"They.. Similar to Shuxiang," Lan Guan Zhi secretly smiled faintly. If his best friend were here, the atmosphere would definitely get more boisterous.
