The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1366 705: Intuition

...

Although Yan Xiaobao was concealed and disguised, there was still something in the depths of Bruiser's heart that kept him from instinctively recognizing his father.

There was no one in the world he loved more! Yan Xiaobao stared in shock at Bruiser. Under the mask, he was smiling warmly. The fact that Bruiser was now so powerful filled him with joy.

Furthermore, the cries of astonishment echoing around him made him even more excited. From this moment on, he wished he could loudly declare, "That's my Bruiser!"

However, Yan Xiaobao knew that was impossible. He was still within the Blood Flow Sect cultivator group, and he had to make Bruiser seem like a beast only the two of them could understand.

Be a good boy and go back. Daddy has a few things to take care of, then he'll come find you.

Bruiser suddenly stopped where he was. He was very intelligent, and had been well trained by Yan Xiaobao. It only took a moment of thought for him to understand Bai Xiaochun's request. He bared his teeth at the people of the Blood Flow Sect, radiating an unbelievably vicious aura. Then his gaze slid over to Song Junwan's chest, lingering there for a long time.

Although almost no one present understood what that meant, Bai Xiaochun did, and he couldn't help but sigh again, then glare at Bruiser.

Roaring, Bruiser lowered his head, then turned and left. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. The other beasts let out powerful cries, then returned to their masters' sides.

The draining energy from the mountain peak a moment ago gradually faded, until it could no longer be sensed. At that very instant, something else occurred that no one noticed. Within the crowd from Iris Peak, someone lifted her head and looked at Yan Xiaobao among the Blood Flow Sect forces.

It was a young woman dressed in plain, simple clothing. Her eyes looked strange, and her face was pale. But none of that lessened her beauty; it only made her seem more pitiable.

The young woman smiled faintly, then muttered to herself as she raised a hand to cover her face, "Dear, you're in the Blood Flow Sect..."

A strange light flashed within her eyes. This girl was none other than Gongsun Wan'er, who had disappeared in the Fallen Sword Abyss. During the time Bai Xiaochun had been in the Blood Flow Sect, she had returned to the Spiritual Sect!

The instant Gongsun Wan'er looked at Yan Xiaobao, the Heavenly Dao Spirit Energy within him trembled. Feeling someone's gaze on him, he glanced over, trying to see who it was. At the same time, the old woman from Irispetal Peak smiled, thinking that all the years she had spoiled Bruiser were finally paying off. With a single command, she had made him withdraw.

"I am very sorry," she said. "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's best that we withdraw from the North Shore." Although her expression was gloomy, inwardly she was quite pleased.

Song Junwan took a deep breath to calm herself. Even though she had known the Spirit Creek Sect possessed a Beast King, seeing it with her own eyes shook her in a way completely different from before.

"According to the secret reports, this Beast King was raised by Bai Xiaochun." She pondered. "He reached the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and received the enlightenment of the Ze Kingdom in the watery swamp. Just who exactly is this guy? If only he were a cultivator of the Blood Flow Sect!"

Song Junwan no longer wished to continue the inspection tour. Just as she was about to respond to the old woman from the Peak of Iris, a cold snort echoed down from the sky above. A huge vortex appeared, wreathed all around by swirling flames.

Li Zimo followed right behind it, a bit of regret on his face.

The Song Clan Patriarch's expression was grim as he looked back at the vortex, then toward Li Zimo. "Don't misunderstand, Daoist of the Spiritual Stream Sect. If war breaks out, the fighting will not cease until a bitter end!"

The one who replied to the Song Clan Patriarch was not Li Zimo. An ancient, gloomy face appeared within the vortex, emanating the passage of innumerable years. When he spoke, his voice alone sent ripples spreading out in all directions. "Your demands are too excessive, Daoist friend. The Ghost Creek Sect would rather go to war than be strangled for a thousand years!"

This person was none other than the first-generation Clan Leader of the Spirit Creek Sect—Frigidsect!

The Song Clan Patriarch snorted coldly and looked away. He flicked his sleeve, summoning a blood cloud, then waved to the Blood Flow Sect cultivators.

"We're leaving!" he said. Yan Xiaobao and everyone else rose into the air, landing on the blood cloud, which seethed as it shot off into the distance.

Moments later, no trace of them could be seen!

Everything had happened so quickly that the people of the Spiritual Stream Sect were completely stunned. The face that had just appeared in the vortex watched the receding blood cloud, and his expression dimmed a moment later.

"Should we have stopped Old Man Song?" Li Zimo asked slowly.

A moment later, the first-generation Clan Leader replied, "Old Man Song's cultivation base is anything but ordinary. Among the eight Clan Leaders of the Blood Flow Sect, his battle prowess ranks in the top three. The fact that he came alone shows he was fully prepared, especially in terms of trump cards. If we provoked him, his counterattack would certainly not be bound by morality."

Which factor weighed more, the first or the second, no one could say.

Li Zimo hesitated. Unwilling to imagine how many casualties a war would bring, he said softly, "Senior Brother of the Frigid Lands, the Blood Flow Sect also doesn't wish to go to war. You can see that from their demands. They've already done their utmost. Why don't we—"

"Zimo, you're too soft-hearted. At a time like this, a soft heart benefits no one. I know that if we go to war, countless lives will be lost. The Spirit Creek Sect does not want such a catastrophic event to occur. That is why I initially agreed to Song Yunwen's request that we not go to war. Even if it meant missing a tremendous opportunity, we could avoid crippling our Sect and avoid losing so many among the younger generation...." Frigidsect's ancient voice sounded weary, though no one but Li Zimo and the other Clan Leaders could hear his words.
