The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1243 649: Sword World (Part 2)

Underground, there were many fissures, some large, some small, and not all of the members of the Spiritual Flow Sect stuck together. Ghostfang, Beihan Lie, Gongsun Wan'er, and some other Chosen decided to go alone.

The rest of the disciples split into two groups, one made up of North Shore disciples, and the other of South Shore disciples. Forces from the Pill Stream Sect and Profound Stream Sect played a similar role. However, the disciples from the Blood Flow Sect didn't seem to trust each other much, either acting alone or splitting into groups of two or three.

Following the South Shore disciples deep into the underground, Yan Xiaobao cautiously looked around. Once he was below, he could feel the pulsating cold rising from beneath. It seemed intent on piercing his body and freezing his blood. However, he was wearing too much clothing for the cold to touch him...

The deeper they went, the colder it got. Thankfully, they were not far from the surface. Coupled with their cultivation foundation levels, they remained unharmed.

Soon, the South Shore disciples noticed Yan Xiaobao just behind them, and strange expressions appeared on their faces. However, those expressions quickly transformed into joyful smiles. After all, with Yan Xiaobao there, they felt safer. Although they were all at the tenth level of Qi Condensation and very proud of it, they knew that Yan Xiaobao was much more powerful than them in every respect.

Soon, they began to make space for him, stepping aside, and greeted him with clasped hands.

"Greetings, Uncle Zong!"

"It's righteous and just Uncle Bai! He's not like Shangguan Tianyou and the others who went off on their own. He insisted on staying with us!"

"Now, this is what South Shore's Chosen should be like! Uncle Bai, it's me, Zhou Youdao! Do you remember me? You really helped me shine in that acid rain incident..."

Yan Xiaobao felt astonished at how the group parted for him to walk at the front. In fact, he had hoped to find a bit of safety by staying behind everyone. But after hearing everyone talking to him, he blinked, then cleared his throat. Grasping his chin tightly, he assumed the posture of a senior.

"Hahaha! You all have nothing to worry about. With an important figure like me, no one would dare cause you any troubles!"

Elated, the other disciples gathered around Yan Xiaobao, especially Zhou Youdao from Violet Peak, all laughing.

Hou Yunfei ended up beside Yan Xiaobao. Considering his current rise, he acted like someone from the older generation, which made Hou Yunfei laugh. However, he couldn't forget everything that happened with the Luochen Family.

"Good luck, Xiao Bao," he said calmly. "You'll definitely reach Earthstring Foundation Establishment!"

"I hope so too," Yan Xiaobao replied. Looking around to ensure no one was listening, he frowned and said, "Hey, do you think the other disciples did that intentionally?" I originally wanted to stay behind. How did I suddenly end up at the forefront?"

A strange expression appeared on Hou Yunfei's face, and he coughed lightly. For some reason, he felt that whenever Yan Xiaobao was around, no matter how solemn or dangerous the situation, it would become peculiar and amusing.

"Ah, well, I can let it go." Yan Xiaobao continued. "After all, I am the disciple of prestige, and the sect leader's youthful brother. Back on the South Shore, I did indeed drag these disciples into some bad situations with my pill concoctions, so now, I'm just giving them a bit of slack!" Puffing his chest out, looking very heroic, he continued forward because his cautious and tense heart would let him.

Elsewhere in the underground fissures, disciples from other sects acted alone or in groups of three to five. Anyone who saw them in dozens would avoid them instantly. Even those who considered themselves superior would look coldly and advance quickly.

Soon, the group saw the body of the sword and an opening leading inside. However, there were already two beams of light shooting toward the gap.

Yan Xiaobao immediately decided to continue forward, but before he could, the surrounding Spirit Flow Sect disciples excitedly started making spell gestures. In the blink of an eye, many magic techniques suppressed the two disciples from other sects.

Both disciples from the Blood Flow Sect saw the incoming magic skills, their faces flashing as they tried to dodge. Unfortunately, they weren't fast enough, tumbling backward, spitting out blood. Then they fled, harboring hatred towards the Spirit Sect.

Yan Xiaobao was pleased to find that they managed to secure one of the gaps through excellent numbers. Of course, given his status, he merely cleared his throat, allowing other disciples to enter the gap ahead of him. There was no way to ensure you wouldn't be ambushed once you entered. People could only rely on one's skills and abilities to stay safe. Jade slips couldn't be used to send messages to those outside. However, if several people from a sect entered simultaneously, they would be safe except for a savage mass ambush.

After four disciples entered the opening, Hou Yunfei chose to go in. Just before stepping inside, he asked Yan Xiaobao for help.

If anything unexpected happens inside, please look after my family youth brother Hou Yunqing. Hou Yunqing is one of the most important young clan members, although he isn't a member of the Spirit Flow Sect, and instead, stayed in the clan for further cultivation.

Yan Xiaobao quickly reassured Hou Yunfei, telling him not to be so depressed. Then he sneakily handed him a paper amulet. Hou Yunfei was initially surprised, but after looking at the amulet for a while, he felt very touched. Finally nodding to Yan Xiaobao, he entered the entrance.

Once he disappeared, the gap darkened, indicating it could no longer be used as an entrance. Yan Xiaobao worried a bit about Hou Yunfei, but considering the entrance was closed, there wasn't much he could do. With that, he led the group.

As they advanced, with the time it takes to burn incense, chatting, laughing, talking about Yan Xiaobao's antics on the South Shore. They also discussed hopes and aspirations for the future. When Yan Xiaobao patted his chest and told them his dream was to live forever, they all laughed. Zhou Youdao loudly declared his dream was to become the Clan Leader of the Spiritual Flow Sect.

They walked the brutal and deadly path of Foundation Establishment, but so far, they could relax easily. Under Bai Xiaobao's leadership, they faced no setbacks. Any gap they saw was quickly taken over.

"Get him, boys!" Yan Xiaobao would shout.

"Hey, this place belongs to us!"

"Buzz, this place is ours!"

"Hmm, what's this? How dare you glare at me? Get him, boys!"

The frenzy rang out continually. Meanwhile, the number of Spirit Stream Sect disciples dwindled. Whenever one of them entered a gap, they expressed deep gratitude towards Yan Xiaobao. Meanwhile, witnessing the simple wave-initiated action from the disciples stirred Yan Xiaobao deeply.

"So, this is what it feels like to be Chosen. No wonder many want to become one." Even as he marveled at the matter, they approached another area with another gap in the sword. Unexpectedly, a large group of people were fighting each other in that area. More shockingly, there were three visible gaps total, with six powerful Blood Flow Sect disciples attacking nine disciples from the other two sects.

Presently, the fight had reached a stalemate. When Yan Xiaobao saw what was happening, his eyes sparkled, and the remaining dozen Spirit Flow Sect disciples grew excited. Without hesitation, Yan Xiaobao shouted, "Hey, this place belongs to us!"

The disciples of the Blood Flow Sect had been executing their sect's mission, aiming to protect this location for as long as possible. They were exhausted, so when they saw many members of the Spirit Sect arriving, their expressions flickered, but they did not flee. Instead, they vanished.

The surrounding disciples from the Pill Stream Sect and Profound Stream Sect were about to be bombarded with magic techniques and holy power, then pushed back as they prepared to enter the entrance. Moments later, Yan Xiaobao and other Spirit Flow Sect disciples blocked the path.

Realizing they had the advantage of numbers, Yan Xiaobao proudly said, "Hmph! Be a good disciple, buzz! Lord Bai is in a good mood today, so he won't cause you any more trouble!"

The faces of disciples from other sects twitched.

"It's him again!"

"His name is Yan Xiaobao. What a scoundrel! This is the third time he's stolen my entrance!"

"Damn! This is my second time. If it weren't for him, I'd already be in the sword world!"

As the group was composed of people from various sects, they were reluctant to unite. Moreover, even if they did, they would still be outnumbered by the Spirit Sect. Eyes filled with anger and helplessness, they watched as disciples of the Spirit Sect disappeared into the three openings.
