Chapter 1377 - 710: Above the Law
...
Song Qu was in the crowd, shaking his legs as he glared at Yan Xiaobao. He was different from others. He was not frightened and still wanted to kill Nightcrypt.
The disciples in Yan Xiaobao’s heart crowded together, helping the cultivators who established the Foundation return to Middle Peak.
Within the time it took for incense to burn, he watched hundreds of people pass by him. Then Song Junwan flew overhead and turned to land in front of him, her face full of excitement.
"Big sister’s song..." he said carefully.
"Is the concoction finished?" she asked with a bitter smile. "Give me the spiritual medicine, and I’ll deliver it to the Clan Leader."
Yan Xiaobao quickly took out five Level 4 spiritual medicines from the bag he held. They were only part of what he concocted; he naturally kept the rest for himself.
Song Junwan accepted them and, after briefly inspecting them, was evidently touched. She gave Yan Xiaobao a deep look and then smiled. Telling him to wait for her, she flew to Zhongshan Peak.
Bai Xiaochun was already feeling very tense. He knew the rules in the "Blood Flow Sect." Although he was confident he had done enough to impress the leaders of the "Blood Flow Sect," he was still somewhat anxious.
He waited for the incense to burn, and soon Song Junwan returned. When she handed him an order token and then lifted his chin with her finger, a strange expression could be seen in her eyes. Her breath smelled like orchids, as if she were saying: "The Clan Leader wants me to tell you, from now on, as long as you don’t betray the sect, you will be treated as a direct descendant of the Song Family!"
Bai Xiaochun’s eyes sparkled at the thought of being able to do almost anything he hoped to in the sect. He felt extremely proud of himself, glancing back at the adorable Great Elder, and then extended his hand to lift his chin with his fingers.
"Does this count as betraying the sect?" he said with a smile. Song Junwan’s eyes widened in surprise; in her lifetime, she had never encountered anyone daring enough to flirt with her like this. She blushed immediately, but then her eyes flashed with cold light.
"It seems I need to teach someone why they should respect their elders!" The order token was a gift from the Song Family Patriarch, and it ensured that as long as he didn’t betray the sect, he could almost do anything he wanted in the sect.
He could even kill while getting away with it!
Unfortunately, dealing with Song Junwan was useless. It didn’t matter; he was still in the middle of establishing the Foundation, and there was no way for him to compare with top figures like her. Naturally, Song Junwan didn’t attack him; she just glared at him for a while before turning to leave.
In the following days, the news about how Nightcrypt successfully concocted Level 4 spiritual medicine spread throughout the entire Blood Flow department. Everyone, including the elders, had heard about it.
Even the Blood Splitter, who was almost always in a state of meditative contemplation, was drawn by Nightcrypt’s name. The other Clan Leaders as well.
The Song Family Patriarch seemed to particularly value him, and his attitude determined the stance of the Song Family. Of course, the Song Family was the main force of the Blood Flow Sect, with very deep roots.
Eventually, the news about Nightcrypt and his medicine concocting leaked from the sect to the Cultivator Clan. Word even reached Spirit Creek Sect. Hou Yunfei and Yan Xiaobao’s other friends were left speechless. Some couldn’t help but think of Yan Xiaobao, but the idea that the two were connected was so ridiculous that they quickly dismissed the thought.
Either way, the stories about Nightcrypt made other sects view him as a far more important person within the Blood Flow Sect. Some even placed him alongside Song Qu.
Of course, within the "Blood Flow Sect," the situation was different. Many people already considered Song Que inferior to Nightcrypt. Nightcrypt not only possessed awe-inspiring combat abilities but was also ruthless, vicious, and had a demonic way of concocting medicine. Rarely did anyone dare even approach him.
The plague of diarrhea struck the whole mountain, causing countless hearts to experience greater fear than before.
His nickname soon changed from Nightdevil to Plaguedevil. The thoughts of how he could cut people down with even less or no blood were simply terrifying.
Yan Xiaobao actually liked the change in attitude. Most Middle Cultivators on Middle Peak would go to great lengths to avoid him.
No one wanted to provoke him, although some people still resented him, no major issues arose.
As for the Inner Sect disciples, they considered him a kind of vicious beast. Just thinking of him made their legs go weak, and based on the stories circulating among them, he was someone willing to wipe out entire peaks.
However, Yan Xiaobao’s life only lasted a few days. Song Junwan called her to take on the role of the Great Elder of Middle Peak, issuing a series of orders that summoned him. She made him sweep all the roads on Middle Peak, had him repair all the destroyed Immortal Caves, and told him to do other similar tasks. She found so many ways to keep Yan Xiaobao in check that he frowned on the verge of tears.
"So I took a little time to slip away...!" Yan Xiaobao said. Just as he finished sweeping through Middle Peak, he received another order from Song Junwan. Now he had to scrub all the trash bins on Middle Peak.
"I can’t believe she’s bullying me so much! How can she get away with this, but I can’t do the same!?" Yan Xiaobao was furious. Given his status in the sect, how could he be sent to clean trash containers everywhere? Just at that moment, a beam of light approached from a distance, turned, and headed toward Yan Xiaobao.
When he looked up, he realized it was the Great Elder from Corpse Mountain.
