Deciding to make things more clear, the old man lowered his voice further. “Remember, in the Blood Stream Sect, we respect the strong and powerful. Many people don’t officially select immortal’s caves, they just take them. If you see one you like, kick the old owner out, and it becomes yours.”
Bai Xiaochun’s eyes began to shine brightly. The truth was that he had lived for so long in the Spirit Stream Sect that, deep inside, he wasn’t at all like the Blood Stream Sect people. Sometimes it was hard to think the way they did. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed the old man to remind him.
Clearing his throat, he maintained his icy exterior, and nodded coolly to the old man. Then he swished his sleeve and turned to leave. Inside, he was filled with the excitement that came from being able to violate a taboo.
The old man watched Bai Xiaochun leaving, and sighed. As far as he was concerned, it was a big pity that Nightcrypt was only in Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, he might have had an extraordinary future. Of course, even though he was merely in Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment, he was still a brutal fiend who couldn’t be provoked.
Bai Xiaochun walked along, feeling more and more excited, his heart pounding as he looked around.
“What a feeling. I can just take whatever I like? Nothing matters except that I’m stronger, so I can have whatever I want….” He licked his lips in anticipation. This was something that could never happen in the Spirit Stream Sect. It was like finally being able to eat forbidden fruit. He scoured Middle Peak for half a day, and around noontime identified an immortal’s cave he liked. It was rather large, and the grounds around it were covered with blood trees. It was almost like a whole world unto itself.
The blood trees all had faces on them, and although their eyes were closed, they seemed completely sinister and bizarre, the type that would strike fear into the hearts of anyone who got near them.
In fact, the only path leading to the door had been overrun by the sinister blood trees. Even from a distance, it was possible to see the faint blood mist that filled the area.
Just barely visible through the blood trees was a blood cistern with dense blood qi. The area was paved with limestone, and there were some refined corpses wearing suits of armor who stood guard.
Next to the cistern was the entrance to the immortal’s cave, a huge white door that was carved with intricate spell formations. The spell formations were currently active, flickering with bright light that ensured that the entire area was shielded.
Looking at the scene, Bai Xiaochun licked his lips, and his eyes began to shine.
“What a great location….”
He had secretly absorbed blood qi from this location in the past, and vaguely remembered that it was Master God-Diviner’s immortal’s cave. He had asked imposter Nightcrypt, and learned that Master God-Diviner was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage, but as he was very adept at divination and augury, he was very important to the sect.
In the Lone Hell Pocket Realm, he had reached Earthstring Foundation Establishment, but had only achieved a few Tideflows. Even still, it was enough to set him on the path to fame in the Blood Stream Sect.
Therefore, it was no surprise that he had occupied such a nice immortal’s cave for such a long time.
Eyes shining, Bai Xiaochun sped forward toward the immortal’s cave. As he neared, faces on the blood trees opened their eyes, which shone with killing intent.
However, as soon as they recognized Bai Xiaochun, they began to scream in high pitched voices.
“Nightdevil is here!!”
“It’s Nightdevil!!”
“Heavens! Nightdevil is here for revenge. Master, save me!!”
Inside the immortal’s cave, Master God-Diviner gritted his teeth. He both hated and feared Bai Xiaochun, and when he thought about the brutal events from the previous day, he was sure that Bai Xiaochun had come to get revenge. Then he heard the voices crying out from the outside, and his eyes went wide.
“Sure enough, he’s here!!”

Chapter 207: Nightdevil’s Name Spreads….
“Nightdevil?” When Bai Xiaochun heard what the blood trees were screaming, his jaw dropped. He had no way of knowing, but because of the brutality of the previous day’s events, quite a few people had taken to calling him Nightdevil.
Annoyed by the shrieking trees, he snorted coldly and said, “Shut up!”
His voice was accompanied by a brutally murderous air that scared the blood trees so much that they started trembling and lapsed into silence. Terrified, the trees that had planted themselves onto the path leading to the immortal’s cave pulled up their roots and cleared the way.
Bai Xiaochun clasped his hands behind his back, stuck his chin up, and coolly said, “Master God-Diviner, get out here!”
Everyone who heard him was completely shocked.
Inside the immortal’s cave, Master God-Diviner’s face when ashen, and a crazed look appeared in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, sweat popping out on his forehead, he cried, “Nightcrypt, don’t push things too far!!”
Bai Xiaochun didn’t step into the forest of blood trees. The pressure from the spell formation was too threatening. However, in response to Master God-Diviner’s words, he smiled grimly and then unleashed some blood qi. In the blink of an eye, all of the blood qi in the area began to churn, transforming into a dense mist.
The faces on the blood trees began to quiver, but they didn’t dare to scream. They simply began to huddle together in shock.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the area could sense what was happening, and saw the shocking blood qi building up around Bai Xiaochun. Inside the immortal’s cave, Master God-Diviner sat there with ashen face, chuckling bitterly. The madness in his eyes grew, and just when he was about to jump out and fight to the death, Bai Xiaochun’s cruel voice once again filled the area.
“I’ll give you three breaths’ of time to get the hell out of there,” he said proudly. “I want this immortal’s cave.” With that he flicked his sleeve.
Master God-Diviner had been ready to unleash the power of the spell formation to fight to the death with Bai Xiaochun. But when he heard his words, his eyes went wide with surprise. He almost couldn’t believe it. “You think I’ll risk my life based on your kindness, Nightcrypt? What makes you think I’ll believe you?!?!”
Sticking his chin up, Bai Xiaochun replied, “Calm down. I’m a man of my word. If I say I’m going to take your immortal’s cave, then I’m going to take your immortal’s cave!”
Even as the words left his mouth, the door to the immortal’s cave opened, and Master God-Diviner flew out at top speed, flying off into the air. As he did, his voice echoed out, “Nightcrypt, the Blood Stream Sect is a devilish sect, but we keep our promises. If you go back on your word in front of all these Fellow Daoists, you’ll be hated by everyone! No one will ever believe you again!”
Master God-Diviner was truly afraid. He feared that Bai Xiaochun was intentionally drawing him out of his immortal’s cave to attack him. Even as he flew off, he tossed down the jade pendant to the immortal’s cave.
Never could he have imagined that Bai Xiaochun really had just come for the immortal’s cave, and not his life. In fact, he still couldn’t believe it, and his heart pounded with the feeling of having nearly escaped a deadly catastrophe.
As he caught the jade pendant, Bai Xiaochun stared at the fleeing Master God-Diviner. Only then did he understand what was going on. Sighing, he ignored Master God-Diviner and then stepped into the blood tree forest.
As soon as the blood trees realized they had a new master, they were all smiles, and even began to lavish him with praise.
“Master Nightdevil is mighty and extraordinary, invincible under the heavens.”
