There, it transformed into infinite energy!

The energy was formed by intense trembling, which caused his entire body harm. Meanwhile, his flesh became a vortex, madly sucking in all the blood energy from the Immortal Cave!

The Blood Qi came rushing at him like a stampede; even the Blood Qi outside the Immortal Cave started rumbling towards him!

Yan Xiaobao was shaken. Although he felt himself becoming stronger, a sudden foreboding feeling emerged in his heart.

In the past, he had always controlled himself, only absorbing a small amount of local Blood Qi. Just moments ago, he had tried to only absorb the Blood Qi within the Immortal Cave to prevent any blood-colored light from rising into the air, making it difficult for anyone to notice it.

But now, the ten mammoth Fierce Battle Ghost bodies of the Immortal Heavenly King had formed, and he lost control. His body turned into a vortex, sucking in all the Blood Qi, and the blood-colored light glaringly shone into the sky.

He tried to stop it, but it was too late. As his body changed, the Blood Qi surged into his mind, accompanied by a rumbling sound. His body continued to tremble more and more, and his power erupted.

Soon after, the power solidified. The power of ten mammoths formed the Fierce Battle Ghost body!

RUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!

Yan Xiaobao's eyes opened wide as the image of a Fierce Ghost appeared behind him. Although it was blurry, it was only because it was still in the forming process. In a few months, it would be very clear.

He was filled with a sense of infinite power, yet he had no time to indulge in any excitement. He knew the pervasive blood-colored light in the air would definitely attract attention.

"The people of the Blood Flow Sect are too overbearing! You just have to be on eggshells while practicing cultivation!" He really started to get nervous, knowing that many people in the Blood Flow Sect already disliked him. If they found him here, they'd be enraged, and the consequences would be too terrible to even think about.

Just as he was about to escape, a beam of blood-colored light appeared, shooting towards his location like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, a young woman appeared before Yan Xiaobao. She wore a blood-colored dress and a mask of the same color, adorned with the image of plum blossoms.

Xue Mei looked expressionlessly at the Immortal Cave. She had never imagined anyone in the Blood Flow Sect would dare mock her.

The idea of someone practicing cultivation at the entrance of her Immortal Cave seemed utterly ridiculous, and she didn't know how to react. She couldn't even comprehend that anyone from the lower ranks of the Cultivation World would dare to do such a thing...

She could feel that the Blood Bottle in her Immortal Cave was already empty. In fact, the Blood Qi had been completely drained to the point where the bottle was on the verge of collapse.

That bottle had been working for over a decade, but it was completely depleted in one night. Even as she stood there, trembling and gasping, the last bit of Blood Qi left the Immortal Cave and entered Yan Xiaobao.

As she turned to look at him, Xue Mei's phoenix-like eyes exuded a murderous aura.

"Miss Xue Mei, what a coincidence..." Yan Xiaobao said, feeling a bit guilty. Seeing how angry she was, his first thought was to say he was just passing by. However, since he had worked hard to reach the first level of the Immortal Heavenly King and all the Blood Qi in the region still rushed towards him, he was helpless to stop it. On the verge of tears, he could think of nothing but to change the subject.

"Is this your Immortal Cave? Why don't we talk things over, I can compensate you..." Before he could say anything more, countless figures appeared. They were the foundation-establishing Dharma Protectors and the low-finger elders of the Middle Peak. It only took them a moment to sense the drop in Blood Qi levels in the area and see the Blood Qi pouring into Yan Xiaobao.

When they realized the implications of what they were seeing, they glared at Yan Xiaobao with fierce stares.

"It's Nightcrypt! He's the reason the Blood Qi has been falling in recent days..."

"You're why I've been facing so much backlash recently!"

"So he's the one who did it! Damn, it's definitely him!"

As their murderous gazes landed on Yan Xiaobao, he started to tremble.

"Um, hey, brothers and sisters. We're all here, how about I offer some compensation...?" He was about to offer an explanation when beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Before he could, Xue Mei lifted her chin, waved her sleeve, and pointed directly at Yan Xiaobao.

"Kill him," she said, her voice cold as ice. She only said two words, but they spoke volumes about her indifference. It was almost as if she had just ordered the death of an ant.

When the surrounding foundation-establishing Cultivation Personnel heard her words, their intent to kill surged. Partly because of their trust in Xue Mei's ability to protect them and partly because they had been driven by the Blood Qi recently.

Now that they knew whom to blame, how could they not want to kill him? In fact, even if Yan Xiaobao wasn't actually responsible, he still had to be somehow connected to the matter.

Almost as soon as Xue Mei spoke those words, the entire group attacked simultaneously. In an instant, countless sacred abilities and magical techniques appeared. Numerous blood-colored Sword Qi shot towards Yan Xiaobao.

Seeing himself under attack by a group of foundation-establishing cultivators, Yan Xiaobao's scalp tingled so intensely it felt like it might explode. Even at the first level of the Immortal Heavenly King, he could do nothing but flee in the face of such an assault.

"You bullies!" he provocatively shouted. "If you think you're tough, why not fight me one-on-one?"

Yan Xiaobao was already scared witless; clearly, these people really wanted to kill him!

"Outrageous! It's just a bit of Blood Qi, right? I'm a basic cultivator of the Blood Flow Sect! I can't believe any of you would want to kill me! Are you trying to force me to leave the sect!?" Trembling and shouting, he fled from countless sacred abilities and magical techniques. In his view, Xue Mei was truly overbearing; he had even offered compensation, but all she did was wave her sleeve and thrust her chin into the air. That was his signature move!

As the entire lower finger of Middle Peak erupted into chaos, the darkness of the night was filled with shadows. Many foundation-establishing Blood Flow Sect cultivators flew after Yan Xiaobao, murderous intent rampant.

However, Yan Xiaobao was as fast as a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on.

"They're trying to kill me! Help..." Feeling utterly wronged, and as more and more people joined the chase, he sped up.

The only one who didn't join was Xue Mei. Clenching her teeth, she entered her Immortal Cave to check the Blood Bottle. After a while, she suppressed her murderous intent and adjusted the spell formation to ensure the bottle wouldn't break from the lack of Blood Qi.

Meanwhile, the entire jar was abuzz, with Yan Xiaobao's screams echoing, accompanied by angry shouts.

"How can that guy run so fast!?"

"I'll tear him into a million pieces!"

"Nightcrypt, I, God's Divination Master, won't stop until you're dead!"

Despite the pursuit by foundation-establishing cultivators, Yan Xiaobao was too fast, and Middle Peak too massive. He ran back and forth for a full two hours until he finally managed to shake off all the foundation-establishing cultivators.

"He's hiding somewhere!"

"Yeah, but he can't hide forever..."

"Don't worry, I, Master God-Shen, may be injured, but I can still risk finding his location!" Sneering with teeth gritted, Master Shen let out a cold hum and began divining Yan Xiaobao's location.

After a while, his eyes grew even more bloodshot, and he suddenly pointed into the distance. As he did, a blood-colored butterfly flew from his fingertip, and the angry crowd began to follow.

At this moment, Yan Xiaobao hid in a relatively remote Immortal Cave, frowning and sighing.

"I didn't know that was Xue Mei's Immortal Cave! I thought it was empty and just didn't want to leave it to waste. I didn't do this on purpose." He wanted to fight back, but considering how many people were angry with him, he knew he couldn't. Just then, a blood-colored butterfly suddenly appeared in front of him. Without hesitation, he burst forth at top speed.

As he did, the space he had just been standing in was shaken by countless magical techniques and sacred abilities. Had his speed been a bit slower, he surely would have been injured.

Many foundation-establishing cultivators were in the area, and although some wanted to block his path, he was too fast and accelerated away.

Once again, another grand chase unfolded on Middle Peak.

An hour later, the crowd once again lost him. Master God-Diviner's right hand shone with a spell gesture, and a blood-colored butterfly once again found Bai Xiaochun.

"Nightcrypt can't escape. How could he evade my Divination Magic!"
