At first, Yan Xiaobao was shocked. But then he coldly stared at them, the cultivators from the Foundation let out a sigh of relief. To them, such an expression seemed more suitable for Nightcrypt.

"I am a good person..." Yan Xiaobao thought to himself, sighing inwardly. With no other choice, he maintained a cold, indifferent expression, glaring with wide eyes. This made him respected even more.

As he passed by, his eyes began to feel exhausted from all the bedazzlement. Finally, he reached the pavilion where he could choose a new Immortal Cave. The old man who had previously greeted him with cold indifference rushed up and offered a warm welcome.

When he realized Yan Xiaobao was there to choose an Immortal Cave, he was initially shocked but quickly changed his attitude. His eyes burned with passion as he produced a scroll map and unfolded it for Yan Xiaobao.

"Junior Brother Nightcrypt, how about this one? This Immortal Cave has a wonderful environment, the Blood Qi there is incredible!

"Or how about this one, a senior once lived there! I usually don't point this out to anyone....

"And this place? If I recall, there were some puppets that appeared alongside that puppet."

Although Yan Xiaobao was touched by the old man's enthusiastic introduction to the Immortal Cave, his face remained cold and indifferent. Eventually, he frowned. While the open Immortal Caves were better than the old ones, they still lacked the ones with abundant Blood Qi.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao's frown, the old man seemed to want to say something, then hesitated. He looked at Yan Xiaobao again and recalled the confrontation from the previous day.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. "Junior Brother Nightcrypt, you don't need to come here to choose an Immortal Cave."

"Hmm?" Yan Xiaobao blinked thoughtfully. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Deciding to make things clear, the old man lowered his voice further. "Remember, in Blood Flow, we respect the strong and the stronger. Many don't officially choose an Immortal Cave, they simply take them. If you see one you like, kick the old master out and it becomes yours."

Yan Xiaobao's eyes began to shine. The fact was, having lived in the Spirit Sect for so long, deep down, he wasn't really like a Blood Flow sect person. Sometimes it was difficult to imagine their ways. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed the old man's reminder.

Clearing his throat, he maintained his cold demeanor, then coldly nodded to the old man. Then he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave. Inside, he was filled with excitement at the thought of breaking the taboo.

Watching Yan Xiaobao leave, the old man sighed. To him, Nightcrypt was unfortunate to only be at the Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, he might have an extraordinary future. Of course, even if he was only at the Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment, he was still an untouchably savage demon.

Yan Xiaobao walked away, feeling increasingly exhilarated, his heart pounding as he looked around.

"What an amazing feeling. I can just take whatever I want? Nothing is more important than that, unless I'm stronger so I can have anything I want..." he licked his lips in anticipation. This is something that would never happen in the Spirit Stream Sect. It's like finally being able to eat forbidden fruit. He roamed Zhongshan for half a day, and by midday found an Immortal Cave he liked. It was quite large, surrounded by land covered with Blood Trees. It was almost like an entire world.

The Blood Trees all had faces, even though their eyes were closed, they seemed completely sinister and bizarre, the type that would instill fear in the hearts of anyone who approached them.

In fact, the only road leading to the gate was infested with the ominous Blood Trees. Even from a distance, one could see the faint blood mist filling the area.

Almost hidden among the Blood Trees was a Blood Qi-concentrated pool. The area was paved with limestone, with some exquisitely armored corpses guarding it.

Next to the pool was the entrance to the Immortal Cave, a huge white door engraved with intricate spells. The spell formations were currently active, flickering brightly to ensure the entire area was concealed.

Looking at the scene, Yan Xiaobao licked his lips, his eyes starting to glimmer.

"What a fantastic location..."

He had secretly absorbed Blood Qi from this place before and vaguely remembered it was the Immortal Cave of an Immortal Master. He had asked pretending to be Ye Xiao, and learned Master God-Diviner was only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, but because he excelled at divination and prophecy, he was very important to the sect.

In the Lone Hell Pocket Realm, he had reached Earthstring Foundation Establishment, but only gained some Tideflows. Even so, it was enough for him to make his name in the Blood Flow Sect.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising he could occupy such a good Immortal Cave for so long.

Eyes flashing, Yan Xiaobao advanced towards the Immortal Cave. As he approached, the faces on the Blood Trees opened their eyes, their eyes flickering with murderous intent.

However, once they recognized Yan Xiaobao, they began to scream in high-pitched voices.

"Nightdevil is here!"

"It's Nightdevil!!"

"Oh heavens! Nightdevil is here for revenge. Master, save me!!"

Inside the Immortal Cave, Master God-Diviner gritted his teeth. He both hated and feared Yan Xiaobao, and when he thought of the brutal confrontation from the day before, he was convinced Yan Xiaobao had come for revenge. Hearing the cries from outside, his eyes opened wide.

"Sure enough, he's here!!" "Nightmare?" When Yan Xiaobao heard the Blood Trees screaming, his jaw dropped. He had no idea, but because of the brutality of the confrontation the day before, many had begun to call him Nightdevil.

Annoyed by the screaming trees, he coldly snorted and said, "Shut up!"

His voice carried a cruel murderous air that scared the Blood Trees so much, they began to tremble and fell silent. Fearing for themselves, the trees planted along the path to the Immortal Cave pulled up their roots and cleared the way.

Yan Xiaobao clasped his hands behind his back, protruded his chin, and calmly said, "Master God-Diviner, leave here!"

Everyone who heard him was deeply shocked.

Inside the Immortal Cave, as soon as the Divine Master's face emerged, a crazed expression appeared in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, sweat dripping from his forehead, he shouted, "Nightdevil, don't push things too far!!"

Yan Xiaobao did not step into the Blood Tree Forest. The pressure from the spell formations was too great. However, in response to Master God-Diviner's words, he cruelly laughed and then released some Blood Qi. In the blink of an eye, all the Blood Qi in the area began to chill, turning into dense fog.

The faces on the Blood Trees began to tremble, but dared not scream. They simply started to bunch together in shock.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the area could feel what was happening and see the shocking Blood Qi surrounding Yan Xiaobao. Inside the Immortal Cave, Master God-Diviner sat there, his face pale, forcing a painful laugh. The madness in his eyes grew larger, and just as he was about to leap out and fight to the death, Yan Xiaobao's cruel voice once again filled the entire area.

"I'll give you three breaths to leave there," he said proudly. "I want this Immortal Cave." Then he flicked his sleeve gently.

Master God-Diviner was prepared to unleash the power of the spell formations, ready to fight to the death with Bai Xiaochun. But when he heard his words, his eyes widened in disbelief. He almost couldn't believe it. "Do you think I'd risk your life, based on your goodwill, Nightcrypt? What makes you think I'd believe you?!?!"

Yan Xiaobao stuck out his chin, replying, "Calm down. I am a loyal person. If I say I want your Immortal Cave, then I shall take your Immortal Cave!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, the gate to the Immortal Cave swung open, and Master God-Diviner flew out at top speed, soaring into the sky. As he did, his voice echoed, "Nightdevil, Blood Flow Sect is a demon sect, but we keep our promises. If you go back on your word in front of all these cultivators, you will be hated by everyone! No one will ever trust you again!"

Master God-Diviner was truly terrified. He feared Yan Xiaobao had deliberately drawn him out of his Immortal Cave to attack him. Just as he flew away, he dropped the jade pendant into the Immortal Cave.

He never expected Yan Xiaobao to have just come for the Immortal Cave and not his life. In fact, he still couldn't believe it, his heart filled with a sense of narrowly escaping a deadly disaster.

When he grasped the jade pendant, Yan Xiaobao stared at the fleeing Divine Master. Only then did he understand what had happened. He sighed, ignored Master God-Diviner, and then walked into the Blood Tree Forest.
