XIAO SHUXIANG'S

470 - Resurrection from the Past [Revised]

Tianqi Mao who was on the third floor of his residence saw various birds flying opposite the direction of the wind. The animals were like they were getting away from something.

He himself also felt an uncomfortable feeling. The huge roar and vibration he felt made his mind set on one thing and it was a being sealed beneath the Seasonless Snow Hill.

"Yu Changhai's.. Can't he hold it anymore..?" Tianqi Mao closed the fan in his hand and then turned around. Dots of water appeared in the air, condensed, and then formed a large mirror.

Tianqi Mao entered the mirror and a moment later, he had been at the residence of the First Patriarch of the Sky Pagoda Sect, Yu Changhai.

Tianqi Mao was a cat-like Demonic Beast. His human body was a 10-year-old child. She always looked like a girl, so beautiful with a skirt that expands like a flower, and a large ribbon that always adorns her hair.

His steps were so calm on the snow blanket, yet not from the look on his face. He saw a long-haired young man in winter clothes standing in the front yard looking up at the sky.

"Yu Changhai," Tianqi Mao called out as he walked towards the young man, he could not help but ask.

".. You're okay, right?"

Yu Changhai turned his head, he turned his body and saw a child walking over to him. Knowing the reason for the arrival of the child, he also said that the creature under the evidence can still be overcome.

What actually made him astonished was the sudden rumbling sound and the vibration he felt was somehow caused by what. Hearing that made Tianqi Mao even more ill-feeled.

Yu Changhai, "...This is not an ordinary natural symptom. The sky was clear up there and the clouds looked normal. It's just that, many beasts were flying against the wind and were like running away from something."

Tianqi Mao, "I saw it too. But if this isn't a sealed creature under your residence, does that mean there are other creatures?"

!!

"You don't say that. It's bad that you're right," Yu Changhai looked pale, but didn't completely shed his clean, handsome face. He said, "There is a possibility that the rumble we heard has some connection with a group called the Scarlet Shadow."

Yu Changhai continued, ".. You were once part of them. And since the war against Wyvern, the leader of the group has not been found. I heard from Lan Xu Jian, the Scarlet Shadow is still there. They changed their name, but continued to target Xiao'Er. So maybe.."

Tianqi Mao understood that even though Yu Changhai hung up his words, he had indeed sensed that this would not be far from the Alchemist Chef.

"Xiao Shuxiang's.. Why does he have so many problems following him..?" Tianqi Mao exhaled, there was pity for the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes at this moment. Yu Changhai could see it clearly.

"Little Boy, you better get ready. This was not the right time to pity Xiao'Er," Yu Changhai requested that Tianqi Mao immediately rush over to evacuate the residents of Flower Dew Town to safety. He himself had to remain here to keep the sealed monsters under the Seasonless Snow Hill from escaping.

Tianqi Mao nodded, he came here actually indeed to make sure the monsters on this hill still remained in place. Seeing that Yu Changhai was still able to handle it, he also felt somewhat calm. He then brought out a moving mirror.

Before leaving, Tianqi Mao promised to return again after he evacuated his townsfolk and citizens from other cities. Yu Changhai should be able to hold on until he returns.

Far away in another place, Rou Mei Qi who was one of the Blood Scarlet members seemed to be smiling widely upon seeing the many terrifying hands emerging from the ground.

He stood on a tree branch and this place was a forest that had once been a mass burial and had recently experienced a great fire.

His red clothes seemed to be fluttering played by the wind. Rou Mei Qi started to see one after another undead coming out from the ground. They had black faces and bodies, some even emitted strange and frightening sounds.

All Rou Mei Qi had done before was to pour out a water-clear liquid from a bamboo cut given by Qian Kun. He was impressed when the liquid made the soil in this forest pitch black and made the surrounding plants die instantly.

!!

Rou Mei Qi was startled, he spontaneously jumped up and dodged the attack from one of the undead. His eyes then point to his right arm where there are three new scratches.

"Hmph, they're apparently not slow corpses.." Rou Mei Qi fixed his gaze on the corpse that was treading on the tree branch, where he had been before.

The black-faced corpse with thin reddish veins on his neck and cheeks was seen moving his head in a fractured manner. His mouth let out a reddish-black liquid with teeth that kept rubbing until a loud voice sounded. He looked at Rou Mei Qi like a starving beast.

!!

The black corpse with a messy dirty appearance shot back. Rou Mei Qi jumped dodging, and this time he took out an heirloom weapon in the form of a whip made from the carcass of a giant centipede bone.

A whip full of energy from him made the ground shake and an explosion-like sound was created. Not only one corpse, Rou Mei Qi even had to avoid the other corpses that were also nimble to attack.

It was he who raised the bodies, but it was he who was attacked. Rou Mei Qi snorted and felt that these corpses needed to be conquered first in order to be utilized.

"You guys want to test if I deserve to be a leader, huh? All right, then that's what you're gonna get..!" Rou Mei Qi spread out her weapon and then darted, her eyes looking shiny.

At the same time, this kind of incident also happened to Gou Yun Fei, Ge Yu Han, and Gong Zitao. The three people who were at three different points appeared to be facing the creatures they awakened.

Gou Yun Fei fought with the evil spirits, he deployed his strongest Curse Technique and nimbly attacked. Meanwhile, Ge Yu Han was fighting with the corpses of Demonic Beasts in the form of wild wolves.

Gong Zitao was different again, he had to face the corpses of cultivators who had participated in the battle against Xiao Shuxiang over a hundred years ago.

Some corpses can talk and have their own consciousness. They talked to Gong Zitao and had their own authority. Some of the corpses even looked extremely strong.

Gong Zitao actually could not face these countless of them. But before, Qian Kun had already given him some pointers on what he should do.

He fused his hands together and bowed respectfully at the cultivator who had consciousness. Gong Zitao only had about five minutes more before the corpse of the unconscious cultivator darted and tore his body apart.

One of the dignified corpses had pale white skin with black veins on his neck and cheeks. The color of her pupils was red, and she had a slightly dirty white outfit.

"You'd better have a good reason for your cause, young man. I wouldn't hesitate to pull out every bone of yours if you gave me a less than satisfactory answer."

"Lou Ye, you don't have to be that cold. Look at how you look, your clothes are really dirty."

"Jiejie, your own clothes look bad too. Didn't you see it? After all, Lou Ye Gege was still handsome despite being an undead. I still like him~"

There are two dead women. They have pale white skin, red eyes, and have thin blackish veins along their necks and faces. The two women were dressed in faded purple with some visible body parts.

Gong Zitao blinked, he did not care about the conversation of these two women because to him, he only had a little time.

"Young man," an elder came forward and stood right in front of Gong Zitao, he had a firm face and an eye gaze that could make the fur of the nape goosebumps. His black clothes and aura seemed to prove that he was neither from the White Stream nor Neutral.

".. What Forbidden Technique did you learn? Why do you have to make us attached to this world again? Did you mean to mess up this place using us?!"

!!

"No Elder, I have absolutely no intention of that." Gong Zitao saluted and firmly denied. The look in his eyes fell, but his voice did not feel trembling at all.

The aura the elder put out before him was so pressing. Gong Xitao was actually trying to withstand that sense of pressure with his own strength.

Qian Kun had told him that he had to be as strong as possible to not let out the slightest Qi while talking to the undead. This should make it look as if he has the right goal.

"My name is Gong Zitao, Elder. I am a cultivator from the Middle Continent. My family used to be citizens of the Eastern Continent, but over a hundred years ago.. Since the great war.. They decided to stay in the Central Continent and settle there until now."

!!

"Hundred years?!"

"big war.. You mean.. That big war?"

Gong Zitao looked at the faces of the undead in front of him. They were shocked to learn that they had been dead for over a hundred years. However, there were some cultivators who still showed their composure. Gong Zitao also spoke again.

"True, a great war against the Destroying Star. And for that reason as well, I used this Forbidden Technique. I'd like to ask you guys for help,"

Gong Zitao's respect was so sincere, his face clean and the look in his eyes contained absolutely no cunning intent. He was truly capable of theatricalizing so perfectly.

"I'm sure you will never forget the name of the Destroying Star. She.." There was doubt when Gong Zitao wanted to continue his words, he closed his eyes for a moment, exhaled, and then opened his eyes while saying that the Destroying Star had returned.

He told me about Xiao Shuxiang being reincarnated, his words were in accordance with the teachings of Qian Kun. There was nothing to hide, Gong Zitao said that Xiao Shuxiang should be punished for his actions, but instead the cultivators who knew his identity forgave Xiao Shuxiang unconditionally.

Hearing that, the corpses of cultivators were extremely shocked. Some unconscious corpses even bully when the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' is called. It was clear that they had deep hatred and resentment towards the young man.

"You mean, Xiao Shuxiang reincarnated again?" the young man named Wei Lou Ye did not expect this. Why must the Destroying Star?! If so, then in the first great war.. The four elders of the three Streams had failed to kill Xiao Shuxiang.

"Is senior Li Fu Chen here?" Wei Lou Ye looked for the elder of the Sky Sword Sect, some of his comrades started to circulate a glance to look for the figure of the person they knew.

Gong Zitao did not know who the man before him was referring to, but he felt that the liquid from the bamboo cut he had poured onto the ground was not yet completely perfect.

Most likely, only a portion of the corpse could rise again. There should be thousands of people, considering the great war caused by Xiao Shuxiang had made the land in the Eastern Continent turn red. But it seemed, these corpses did not reach the figures he had expected.

Gong Zitao exhaled. It really did not matter if the corpses of the awakened cultivators were not up to his expectations, as long as these were strong cultivators and had a deep grudge on the figure of Xiao Shuxiang.

"Young man, can you tell me about the existence of the Golden Moon Sect?" the elder in front of Gong Zitao asked, he reached out and touched the shoulder of the young man before him.

!

Gong Zitao gasped, he was wearing three layers of clothes.. Yet it still felt how cold the elder's hand before him was. He shook his head and politely said that since the great war, many sects had disappeared from the Eastern Continent.

"Chairman, I don't know much about the terrible tragedy that happened first. All I know is that everyone on this continent has no memory of you. They knew Xiao Shuxiang was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star, but still forgave him. Not a single one of them is avenging you, even they are consciously building a statue and respecting Xiao Shuxiang as the protector of this continent."

!!

"That's impossible! How did that happen?!" the woman who had previously been noticed by Gong Zitao looked surprised instead of playing, the veins stiffened on her forehead.

"What I'm saying is true, Elder. All the cultivators and citizens of the three empires had made Xiao Shuxiang a hero. They seem to think of them as 'Liberators', while you are all just bad memories that are not worth remembering.." Gong Zitao lowered his head, he clenched his hands and bit his lips like it was hard to talk anymore.

He gulped with difficulty and went back to saying, this time he was talking about himself who was in a group called Scarlet Blood. Gong Zitao explained that the Blood Scarlet was formed to punish Xiao Shuxiang as well as the people who supported her.

".. We believe that there are still many warriors and people of the Eastern Continent who do not know the truth of Xiao Shuxiang. It's just that, we can't convince them because Xiao Shuxiang has already planted an influence where we are considered enemies." Gong Zitao shook his head slowly before continuing to speak.

"We don't have a choice anymore.. Forbidden techniques were also the only option to ask for help. L'm.. Actually don't want to disturb your peace, but.."

"What pleasure do you mean?" one of the corpses of the cultivators who came from the Black Stream seemed to have a cold voice. He has a strong body posture with a face that is so fierce.

"Don't you explain everything I understand the situation. In the end, you and your group were disappointed with the cultivators who were on this continent. You want to give them punishment, so we are resurrected. Right, right?"

!

Gong Zitao gasped, he looked at the face of the figure who spoke just now and felt watchful. If until his bad intentions are revealed, then all will be done. Himself with a pale face began to exhale and then nodded slowly.

"I'm.."

"There's no need to explain it, Young man. You are a new generation, but fight to defend us. It's just that your actions are wrong for using the Forbidden Technique, your group will definitely be getting stamped worse."

"Tian Lei, what he did in my opinion was right. When advice can no longer change a person, it is better to just eliminate them all."

!!

"Dian Shen! Watch what you say. Which should be punished, it deserves to be punished. But do not let those who are innocent also accept the consequences,"

"Tian Lei, for me the current generation can no longer get forgiveness. The reality was that they had all betrayed and preferred the same path as Xiao Shuxiang."

Gong Zitao noticed that the two corpses of these cultivators were fighting with each other, his gaze then led to a corpse that was unconscious and as if it had started to look at him as food.

!!

Just a blink of an eye, those corpses gritting their teeth shot towards Gong Zitao, but were quickly restrained by Jian Shen, Tian Lei, and the few elder cultivators who had some awareness.

Gong Zitao felt like he was on the edge of a sword. In order to gain the trust of the undead who possessed this consciousness, he had to refrain from taking up arms.

"This Forbidden Technique you're using, I don't think it's perfect yet, Young man. You could have died if we didn't have consciousness like them either." one of the elders gave his tread attack on two dead bodies until the sound of an explosion was heard.

The two bodies bounced and hit the trees very hard. Gong Zitao who saw him was so shocked, and was impressed simultaneously. In his mind right now were the corpses of cultivators before him were all extremely powerful people.

!!

Gong Zitao flinched, he spontaneously jumped back as one of the corpses shot up and was about to pounce on him. He only used his usual abilities, himself protected by Tian Lei and the two corpses of the faded purple-clothed female cultivators.

In Gong Zitao's heart smiled, he praised his great talent. The face and appearance and aura that came out of his body was like a young man from a good circle. He has the authority of a wise man, he is the one who has the best ability in the art of speaking among his fellow men.

Gong Zitao was actually a respected senior in the Sky Pagoda Sect. He belonged to the top five level disciples who had quite a great influence. Many girls in his college were honest about putting their hearts on Gong Zitao.

Some of the girls even openly expressed their love for her. Unfortunately Gong Zitao only likes one girl and his gaze is only on that girl. The person he really wants to have.

OH.HHH..!!

The fight between the corpses of cultivators who had consciousness with those who were truly like wild corpses seemed to be fierce. Gong Zitao occasionally helped, as if he was just showing himself as someone who wanted help more than anything else.

On the other hand, chaos began to occur in one of the cities in the Middle Sun Empire. Gou Yun Fei was the first to stir his evil spirits to make the citizens of the city crazy.

The city was actually not far from Cold Cloud City, hence most of the evil spirits controlled by Gou Yun Fei also attacked the residents of Cold Cloud city. The news of this attack reached the ears of the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect who happened to be in the great market of Cold Cloud City.

Hun Fung was also in that market. He was suddenly startled when he saw a lot of blackish thin smoke that resembled a central tailed ball darting and entering the bodies of some of the townspeople.

!!

One of the residents who is an adult man appears to be shouting bitterly with his head turned up. His mouth was wide open and his eyes were tucked upwards. It didn't take long until the man's body was filled with burns, including his face.

The clueless Hun Fung could only see the incident where the adult man died in a miserable manner. Not just one person, even a child experiences the same thing. He then tried to fight against the thin smoke while ordering one of his juniors to return to the Butterfly Sect and report this incident.

Xiao Shuxiang, who was with Ling Qing Zhu, knew that there would be a bad thing. The rumbling in the sky as well as the trembling ground under his feet had become proof of how dangerous the situation was now.
