821 14.97 Last Violet Star – (Past) Yun Huaxia’s Selfishness.
At the Main Peak’s Medicine Hall...
After Yun Huaxia witnessed his younger brother suddenly fainting, he immediately flew on his sword while carrying his younger brother on his back to the Sect Medicine Hall. A lot of elders panicked when the first young lord carried the second young lord unconscious. Even the Sect Master was informed of such an event.
But when the physician checked on Yun Xiajie, they all said that nothing was wrong with him, instead, his qi had become. Strong and the flow was smoother than before. Because of such a state, Yun Xiajie would be able to break through much faster than before and he wouldn’t have any side effects by doing so.
The Sect Master, elders, and Yun Huaxia were bewildered by this situation. They ask around and hear that Yun Xiajie was sparring with Bai Wuan before he fainted. But they’ve also heard that Bai Wuan had left for a mission and that they’ve parted without problems. It is just that after Bai Wuan had taken his leave, the First Young Lord Yun suddenly screamed in pain as he held his head, and then what happened after that Yun Huaxia arrived and flew away with Yun Xiajie.
Sect Master Yun spoke, “What is wrong with Xiao Jie? Why isn’t he still awake if there is nothing wrong with him?!”
“Sect Master! I’ve checked it multiple times, the Second Young Lord is definitely just sleeping. There are no casted spells or curses. He is just in deep sleep!” said the Peak Elder of the Medicinal Hall.
The Great Elder, Yun Xiayu, suggested, “The last person with him is Disciple Bai Wuan. Get someone to contact him!”
“Impossible! He is now investigating directly the Xia Clan itself. You would put him in danger if you suddenly call him back!” said the Sect Master as Bai Wuan asked for his permission to leave the sect to check the movements within the Xie Clan for himself.
This plan was something sect Master Yun had to plead with the Sect Master of the Bai Lengshui Sect secretly. There had been quite large movements within the western city under the Lan Zhuayun Sect and he wanted to ask Bai Wuan to secretly investigate it. By now, that young man should be lingering in the territory of the Xie Clan.
.....
Yun Huaxia remarked, “What if he is the one who caused this?! We can’t just let him leave the sect like that. If decided not to return, wouldn’t that make him the real culprit then?”
“Don’t be stupid, Huaxia. His precious siblings are still in our sect. He is infamous for his overprotectiveness towards his family and siblings. If he really did such a thing why would he leave them here!?” retorted Yun Xiayu, the Great Elder.
Yun Huaxia left the hall in a foul mood because he was unhappy with the way things were going.
“Then! Should we leave Xiao Jie in this state!!? Father, Uncle, Xiao Jie is my younger brother. His safety is above anyone to me!”
“Hold it there, boy!” said the Great Elder.
“I had something I needed to do and wanted to retire to my courtyard to calm down for a time. Please pardon me,” said the first young lord.
The First Young Lord’s response is observed by the sect leader and elders. They regarded Yun Huaxia’s dwindling form with serious emotions on their faces.
“Send someone to keep an eye on his activities,” the Sect Master said, “I’m concerned he’ll do something he’ll regret.”
One of the elders said, “Yes, Sect Master!” before slipping into the darkness.
The father of the Yun Brothers casts a concerned glance toward his youngest child. Yun Xiajie has been in good health every day since he was a little child. He never had a fever or any other illness, either. He had also become independent at such a young age, his cultivation had advanced faster than anybody else’s in the group. He thought this child would remain alone for the rest of his life as he had no interest in other people at all. So he was astounded when Yun Xiajie went to see him one day in secret and requested a.s.sistance. To think this compa.s.sionless son would experience love for the first time, and Yun Xiajie’s chosen match was none other than Bai Wuan.
Sect Master Yun said, “Xiao Jie, get up soon, otherwise your brother could hurt your Jing’er.”

In the meantime, in Xie Clan territory.
While using his husband’s dark element upon talent sharing between their souls, Bai Wuan was in charge of a small cadre of cultivators who were skilled in sheath methods. They are here on a mission to gather information about the Xie Clan, especially their mysterious Clan Leader, Xie Gui.
“My lord, what should we do?” asked the leader of the group behind Bai Wuan.
They are secrecy-practicing members of the Bai Lengshui Sect, and their job was to carry out Bai Wuan’s directives. In exchange, Bai Wuan would a.s.sist them with their training and breakthroughs return. Their cultivation has advanced from Peak Qi Gathering to the 7th to 9th Establishment Foundation Stages after they followed this master. After Bai Wuan, they were among the most powerful group of disciples in the Bai Lengshui Sect.
Still a little disoriented, Bai Wuan. Even though he pretended to be unaffected by his husband’s remarks, Yun Xiajie’s comments were nevertheless excruciating to hear. The Second Young Lord of Yun just didn’t detect the turmoil in Bai Wuan’s heart since he was so skilled at managing his facial emotions.
Since the systems are still not here there was no one to a.s.sist him, Bai Wuan led a group of disciples that he had personally educated to serve as his arms and legs. They were tasked with locating all the information he required. But tonight, Bai Wuan personally traveled to the Xie Clan’s domain in order to test the might of the most powerful mortal realm cultivator who is the leader of the Xie Clan.
Bai Wuan commanded, “Spread. Record everything you see. Whether it is people or the routes as well as the terrain. We must complete the map of this territory tonight. But if you think you are going to get caught, don’t hesitate to use what I gave you. The blood crystal can enhance your body for a while, and the dark violet crystal is something that would teleport you away instantly. Once you feel danger don’t hesitate to escape. No need to wait for each other. You can only be responsible for your lives.”
“Yes, my lord!”
“Go...”
The cultivators who had all followed Bai Wuan began to make shuffling noises as they dispersed into the region to gather information. On the other side, Bai Wuan was in front of the most opulent home in the territory. The location of the solitary Nascent Soul Cultivator’s residence in the mortal realm.
He merely took a stride before totally disappearing into the shadows as Bai Wuan said, “For a single Nascent Soul, he really is generating too much miasma. Is there a Devil that slips in, in this realm?”
Bai Wuan enters the residence of the Xie Clan Leader after pa.s.sing through the domain of shadows. Due to the majority of the furniture being plated in gold, the s.p.a.ce exuded an air of richness.
He mumbled, “This sight which hurts the eye, it’s much worse than Jin Sect’s h.o.a.rding personality for treasures. Can’t he calm down if he doesn’t sit and sleep with gold under him?”
He looked around and noticed a foul vibe that was fueled by intense anger and a death aura.
He trusted his instincts and discovered a secret entry inside the mansion. Bai Wuan bravely ventured down the dim pa.s.sageway that led to a mysterious room with a substantial stone door.
Bai Wuan spoke, “This place had the thickest aura of death as well as resentment. But this foul stench... Is there a mountain of corpses inside?”
He arrived through the shadow realm, and his deeds had no impact on reality. Unless he made a loud noise, no one could detect his aura or presence because they were safely hidden in the darkness.
The scene of little hills built of dried human corpses greeted Bai Wuan as soon as he entered the thick stone door. Even some cultivators can be detected there, unfortunately, they have been long dead. A sizable blood pool was formed in the chamber’s core after many sacrificed victims’ blood was drained. A naked guy is soaking in the blood pool; the blood’s effects on his body have given him a youthful appearance. His long charcoal gray hair and red eyes give him the appearance of an attractive man in his mid-thirties.
Bai Wuan remained calm at the scene and murmured, “This is a demonified human... As expected, the Devil Race is involved and it is a high-ranking devil to bout. This is bad... Most of my divinity was left behind in my real body in the Heavenly Domain. I cannot kill a Devil’s host without this body dying. I still... wanted to spend more time with A’Xia but it seems this trial must be speeded up instead.”
“...Or Maybe not...”
“I wanted to be selfish for a bit and stay with A’Xia just for a while. The problem is... This human doesn’t seem to be the main vessel but most of its strength was given to him to completely hide his location. This devil is quite smart.”
Bai Wuan watched the Xie Clan Master at the center of the Blood Pool rather than departing immediately away. He heard the man begin to mumble after that.
“I’m jealous of the four major sects who have several golden core cultivators in their family, but why should my Xie Clan be looked down upon simply because we don’t have any Golden Core Cultivator?”???ℯ?e??????. c??
“But despite our increasing strength, none of them wants to join forces with my clan; instead, the four largest sects have formed an alliance to oppose me.”
“It’s not meant to be like this. Shouldn’t they be jealous of me for being stronger than they are!?”
“How can they treat me like this?! Since they treat me as an enemy then I shall become one? Even if I have to eliminate the four great sects, as long as they accept my clan, whether it was by tyranny or fear? I, Xie Gui, no longer care!”
Bai Wuan’s silver eyes grow colder as if he were looking at a bug under his foot. He was unaffected by a simple Nascent Cultivator, and he was also capable of killing him. However, as he has yet to locate the real devil’s vessel responsible for all of this, Bai Wuan decides against doing so.
“Should I kill him? No... It is not the right time yet. But If it’s a.s.sa.s.sination no one should...”
Buzzing!!!
The instant the communication crystal Bai Wuan had given him Yun Xiajie began to ring, he was alarmed. He failed to surround himself with a noise-canceling barrier, allowing the crystal’s ringing sound to reach Xie Gui as well.
“What rat is hiding there!?” yells Xie Gui as he attacks the location where Bai Wuan hides.
The shadow domain that Bai Wuan had made was violently shattered by his strike. Fortunately, Bai Wuan was dressed in an all-black robe and had his face covered by a veil; only his silver eyes were visible. He simply sweeps his palm to deflect Xie Gui’s blow, canceling both of his movements in an instant.
‘My Attack was cut off just like that!?’ Stunned and angered, Xie Gui shouted, “Who the h.e.l.l are you?! How are you able to cancel my attacks!? b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Don’t ignore this lord!!!”
In an effort to kill Bai Wuan, he began attacking him nonstop, but Bai Wuan was like a slippery loach and was able to easily parry each blow from Xie Gui. Bai Wuan linked the communication crystal in his mind and attempted to contact Xie Gui while nonchalantly avoiding his a.s.sault, believing that Yun Xiajie had contacted him for the first time.
Bai Wuan thoughts {A’Xia, it is rare for you to call me first. Do you need me for something?}
[It’s too noisy on your side. Are you that relaxed that you can answer the call while fighting with someone, Bai Wuan?]
However, the voice Bai Wuan was antic.i.p.ating didn’t respond to him; instead, he realized it was someone else.
{Elder Brother Yun?}
[Who is your elder brother? What did you do to my younger brother!? He suddenly fell into a coma after you left! Come back here right now! He still hasn’t woken up ever since you left!!]
“What did you say!? In coma!!?”
Bai Wuan was so startled that he neglected to answer with his thoughts and instead spoke. His mind was so occupied with concerns for his husband’s health that he even forgot about Xie Gui, who was arguing with him.
Xie Gui shouted as he struck, “Die! You bug!!”
When Bai Wuan turned around he saw Xie Gui’s sword about to stab his heart and slightly move his body instinctively. His thoughts are: ‘I was distracted for a moment that I forgot about him!’
STABBED!
Even Yun Huaxia, who was on the other side of the connection crystal, could hear Xie Gui yelling and the sound of flesh being cut through.
Cough!
This type of negligence presented Xie Gui with a tremendous chance. He didn’t even hesitate to stab Bai Wuan in the heart, but in that short second, Bai Wuan dodged a little, causing his sword to miss his heart but still severely hurt him.
[A’Wuan!!!!] calls Yun Huaxia from the communication crystal but no one replies instead the connection was abruptly cut off at this moment. This sudden situation left Yun Huaxia terrified to his core, especially when he heard the man’s voice shouting for Bai Wuan to die. His face turns pale in horror. If something really happened to Bai Wuan because he selfishly contacted the latter during his mission. Not only his younger brother would be angry, but even his beloved would also definitely hate him for this carelessness.
