Bai Xiaochun was also trembling in terror, and was wondering if he would also be silenced in death to keep the news from spreading.
He began to carefully sneak away, hoping to put as much distance between himself and these two women as possible. The truth was that, in this moment, he was just as scared as he had been back in the Luochen Mountains.
Even as he prepared to flee at top speed, Song Junwan and Xuemei continued to curse each other, revealing even more explosive bits of information. Bai Xiaochun’s skin crawled as he heard all sorts of sordid history regarding the Blood Stream Sect.
By this point, the Blood Stream Sect patriarchs were aware of what was happening. Eventually, it seemed they weren’t interested in hearing any more, and one of the patriarchs cleared his throat. The sound transformed into rumbling thunder, and a lightning bolt even split the sky overhead.
Song Junwan and Xuemei knew what that meant. Neither of them wanted to back down, but they had no choice. With a final vicious glare at each other, they snorted coldly and parted ways. One flew up to the upper finger, the other left Middle Peak.
Unexpectedly, neither of them spared a second glance for Bai Xiaochun….
Soon, everything was quiet. Bai Xiaochun hovered there in shock for a moment before looking around and sighed. There were few things in life as terrifying as two women who hated each other….

Hey everyone, the Deathblade Clan is heading back to North China tomorrow. We have a super early flight that interferes with my normal chapter release time. As a result, chapter 210 will come a few hours later than normal. If there are flight delays or anything else that changes the situation, I’ll mention in on Twitter.
1. At this point you can now see why it’s Xuemei and not Xue Mei, because Xuemei is her given name, with her surname being Du. Since I’m sure people will ask, yes, it’s the same Du character as Du Lingfei. Don’t forget that a shared surname doesn’t necessarily confirm a relation or connection. For example, Xu Xiaoshan and Xu Baocai share the same surname, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re from the same family.

Chapter
210: Grand Elder, Please Behave Yourself!
Bai Xiaochun sighed and looked down at his immortal’s cave, pondering his miserable existence. Since arriving in the Blood Stream Sect, he’d had two immortal’s caves destroyed.
“These people are savages! One slip of the tongue and they destroy your immortal’s cave!” Shaking his head, he looked over furiously at the blood trees.
The blood trees had been completely useless; they’d been so scared that they didn’t even offer a warning. Now that he was glaring at them, they were shivering and attempting to look as ingratiating as possible.
Bai Xiaochun was not in a good mood. After glaring at the trees well and good, he warned them that if something like this happened again, he would tear them up by the roots once and for all. After the trembling trees promised that they would behave better in the future, Bai Xiaochun finally let them off the hook.
It took the rest of the night to clean up the mess that was the remains of his immortal’s cave. Around dawn, he used spiritual power to repair some of the damage, and then used the rest of the day to recover.
As he sat there cross-legged in the immortal’s cave, he thought about the situation, and came to the conclusion that Xuemei probably wouldn’t come back for him any time soon. As long as he stayed on the mountain, he shouldn’t have any trouble.
“Just wait until I get that relic of eternal indestructibility!” he said, snorting coldly. “Then I’ll show that hussy Xuemei how awesome I really am!” Then he thought about all the secrets he’d heard, and was suddenly worried again.
“It should be fine, right…?” he thought, trying to comfort himself. However, three days later, he happened to hear that a random disciple had been summoned by the grand elder, and had been punished severely for no apparent reason. Bai Xiaochun immediately started to get more nervous.
From what he remembered, that disciple had been one of the group who heard all of the secrets.
Another day went by, and Bai Xiaochun heard about a disciple who had somehow provoked Xuemei. Apparently, she had punished him by tossing him into Blood Prison. Bai Xiaochun began to pant in shock.
“I’m finished. Kaput. The shrews are starting to tie up all the loose ends!” Bai Xiaochun anxiously tried to get more information about what was happening. During that time, he heard plenty of rumors about cultivators being imprisoned by Xuemei or dispatched by the grand elder to the Profound Stream Sect or Pill Stream Sect on spy missions….
Most unbelievable was a tale about one of the cultivators who was summoned to the upper finger for an audience with the grand elder, and then was suddenly killed.
“That cultivator must have been a complete idiot,” Bai Xiaochun thought. After hearing everything that was happening with the cultivators who had heard the secrets, Bai Xiaochun trembled with fear. He even thought about simply fleeing, but couldn’t bring himself to do so.
“It wasn’t my fault that I heard that stuff! Ai.” He didn’t want to hear the the secrets of Xuemei’s past, or know how many people Song Junwan had been in relationships with!
After a few more days passed, no more stories popped up about people being punished, and Bai Xiaochun started to relax.
The next day, as he was in the middle of cultivating the Undying Live Forever Technique, his expression flickered, and he suddenly turned his head. Outside of his immortal’s cave, a cold voice suddenly rang out, “Nightcrypt, the grand elder has requested your presence.”
As soon as Bai Xiaochun heard that, his heart seized. Trembling in fear, he opened the door a crack to look at the person outside.
Beyond the trembling blood trees stood an old man wearing a blood-colored robe decorated with complex golden designs. He had his hands clasped behind his back, and from the fluctuations of his cultivation base, he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
When Bai Xiaochun saw the blood-colored robe and the golden designs, he knew exactly who this person was. He occupied a position second only to the grand elder, and definitely much higher than Dharma protectors or regular elders. He was a bloodstreak elder! “A bloodstreak elder! C-could he be here to silence me?!”
Usually there were ten or so bloodstreak elders on every mountain, and they cooperated with the grand elder to maintain order.
Bai Xiaochun looked like he was about to cry. His mind replayed all of the stories he’d heard about the cultivators who had been punished over the past weeks, and he got so nervous that his face went pale.
“What do I do? What do I do!?”
The bloodstreak elder was starting to get impatient, and called out, “Nightcrypt, what’s with the dillydallying? I’ll give you three breaths of time to get out here!”
Grimacing, Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, but finally realized there was nothing he could do. Gritting his teeth, he walked out of the immortal’s cave. The bloodstreak elder glared at him, clearly displeased with Bai Xiaochun’s slowness. With a cold snort, he led the way toward the upper finger.
Bai Xiaochun followed along, mind racing with plans for how to deal with the situation. His nervousness only continued to mount as he followed the bloodstreak elder to Song Junwan’s immortal’s cave.
