The Bloodline Master and the Great Elder of Naless Peak were delighted with the successful concoction of the Level 4 undead blood pill. As promised, they offered generous compensation and held a grand ceremony. They even decided to collaborate with Nightcrypt in the future.
Although the ceremony was held at Naless Peak, Elder Song Junjun was also invited to attend. It took place in the Bloodline Master Temple at Naless Peak, where Nightcrypt was lavished with endless praise. Yan Xiaobao felt it wasn’t the right ti to draw attention, so he simply lifted his chin and calmly smiled.
Beside him, Song Junwan smiled as she watched the proceedings, her eyes sparkling every ti she looked at Nightcrypt. Soon, the ceremony went on for about an hour. Then, the Bloodline Master of Naless Peak laughed loudly and approached Nightcrypt.
"Brother Nightcrypt, you are a true genius in the dical Path, a rare gem in the world. In the future, your na will surely influence the entire Eastern Cultivation World. If you concoct the Level 5 undead blood pill, you will surely shake the entire sect! I’m certain that day isn’t too far!
Then, the Great Elder of Naless Peak interjected, saying: "Anyone who concocts the Level 5 undead blood pill will receive great rewards from the sect and be considered to have served greatly!"
As everyone gathered around Yan Xiaobao, chatting and laughing, he listened to their words with great pleasure. Just as he was about to boast, a deafening rumble could be heard from outside.
Like thunder from the heavens, it ca suddenly, startling everyone. Naless Peak shook violently, cracks even appeared on the ground. A wave of heat swept through everything. Everyone in the Bloodline Master Hall at Naless Peak looked toward the door, faces filled with astonishnt.
Outside, the sky had turned gray, and everything was still shaking. Not just Lonely Peak; Corpse Peak and Middle Peak also swayed back and forth.
Both the Inner and Outer Sects plunged into chaos. People shouted, and when people flew into the air, beams of light could be seen almost instantly.
Even the grand magic of Blood Flow Sect was activated.
"What just happened?!?!"
"Don’t tell soone’s attacking Blood Flow Sect!!"
"War has begun!!"
Even Ancestor Peak was thoroughly shaken. As a wave of heat swept over, the shocked main elder sent a divine sense to scan the entire sect.
As Yan Xiaobao ran out of the Bloodline Master Hall with the others, his expression fell. The entire group was shaken, and as for Yan Xiaobao, he was panting. After a while, he was outside. Song Junwan remained vigilant, looking around.
Cultivators flew over from all other peaks, faces mixed with shock.
Soon, all eyes moved toward Little Swamp Peak!
Shocking black smoke rose into the sky from that direction.
The source of the smoke lay between upturned fingers, where massive cracks spread in every direction from a large hole.
Due to the swirling black smoke, everyone quickly realized the origin of the massive boom.
"Little Swamp Peak?!"
"What happened over there...?"
Yan Xiaobao looked up at the black smoke, eyes raised. Monts later, his eyes widened, and his heart began to race.
The earlier massive boom seed a bit vague, but after seeing the source of the black smoke, he realized it was where he was concocting dicine on Little Swamp Peak. Evidently, the previous sound ca from a pill furnace explosion.
At that mont, he suddenly recalled a batch of pills he had left on Little Swamp Peak.
Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his heart started pounding harder. Then, painful cries began to rise from Little Swamp Peak, and Yan Xiaobao’s scalp tingled.
"I’m finished. Captain."
Even as Yan Xiaobao began to tremble with fear, the rest of Blood Flow Sect was stunned, and several beams of light flew out from Little Swamp Peak. Leading them was the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak. He trembled visibly, eyes bloodshot. As he looked down at the chaos on Little Swamp Peak, he appeared close to tears. Monts later, he lowered his head with a mournful howl.
He knew everything was because of Nightcrypt. Like this, he prepared to shout out the guilty party and then find and kill him.
However, before the na "Nightcrypt" could escape, Yan Xiaobao took action. Forcing his eyes to imdiately beco bloodshot, he strode toward Little Swamp Peak’s Bloodline Master, shouting loudly enough to shake heaven and earth: "My treasure!!!"
He pounded his chest with his fists, tore at his hair, howling like a madman, then shot toward the top of Little Swamp Peak at top speed.
"Why did this happen? Dear heavens! What happened? My precious pill!!" He seed crazed as he flew towards the source of all the chaos at Little Swamp Peak.
Little Swamp Peak was now completely charred black, more than half of the buildings and Immortal Caves were utterly destroyed. The state of the cultivators appeared dire, with flas of anger burning in their eyes. However, the mont they saw Yan Xiaobao, their faces filled with fear.
Yan Xiaobao ignored them as he ran toward the direction where he had been concocting dicine at Little Swamp Peak. The entire area was a crater. No spells ford, no Immortal Cave remained. The only thing left were scattered fragnts of the pill furnace and intense heat.
In the air above the peak were Bloodline Masters, Great Elders, and Blood Elders. Blood seeped from the mouths of many of them, and all appeared deeply shocked. Everyone knew Nightcrypt could be troubleso, but no one imagined he would cause such disastrous results.
"Nightcrypt!!" The Bloodline Master roared as he flew toward Yan Xiaobao, eyes burning with shocking murderous intent.
As the Bloodline Master began to move towards him, Yan Xiaobao started trembling. He turned around, shouting frantically: "Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak!!
"I spent three months on that precious pill! I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into it! It was almost Level 5 dicine!!" Yan Xiaobao’s face seed filled with sorrow and madness, a twisted aura gradually forming around him.
"Damn it, Bloodline Master, didn’t you tell the pill furnace couldn’t explode? Didn’t you say it was a precious treasure?!?! Yan Xiaobao appeared crazed, angrier even than the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak. At first, it seed he was rely furiously blaming himself.
"You...." The Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak was furious, but as he began to speak, he realized he was almost speechless.
"Why? Why did you deceive ? All my hard work, all my efforts were based on lies! You said this was a precious treasure taken from the ’Pill Sect’ that wouldn’t explode under any circumstances! If you had told the pill furnace might explode ahead of ti, then I would never have wasted so many precious dicinal plants! I could have used normal concoction thods! Oh, my treasure!" "Do you know how much of my own blood, sweat, and tears I infused into this precious pill?!" Yan Xiaobao hoarsely yelled. "Damn it! Why didn’t you tell the truth instead of deceiving !?!" Blood Flow Sect’s cultivators gathered at the scene to watch, divine senses from Ancestor Peak aligning in the area.
"I told you not to approach the pill furnace. Tell , did you approach it?" Yan Xiaobao finally began to laugh bitterly, face filled with disappointnt and sorrow.
The Bloodline Master and the Great Elder of Little Swamp Peak had no way to refute Yan Xiaobao’s words. The Bloodline Master did indeed tell Yan Xiaobao the pill furnace wouldn’t explode and also promised to be responsible for any situation that arose. Yan Xiaobao’s accusation hit particularly close to ho.
In truth, due to the constantly increasing heat from the pill furnace, which slowly singed everything on Little Swamp Peak, they felt they had no choice but to go and check.
They were mistaken, but the losses suffered by Little Swamp Peak were so great they couldn’t contain their anger. The Bloodline Master gritted his teeth and said: "You are mocking the troublemaker! Little Swamp Peak trusted you! We asked you to concoct dicine for us, and if you did, I would take responsibility. But I have no spiritual dicine! You’ve destroyed Little Swamp Peak, Nightcrypt. I need an explanation!"
The Bloodline Master sneezed coldly, stepping forward as if to grab Yan Xiaobao, hoping to gain sothing from this catastrophe.
