Bai Xiaochun's expression was one of extreme nervousness as he held a twenty-colored flame in his hand. However, the flame was very unstable, and pulsed with terrifying flame power that seemed like it might explode at any moment.
"Get up there!"
As he flew up into the air, he realized that he could no longer control the flame. Roaring, he hurled the fireball up into the air, intending to cause it to explode high up in the air.
However, reality was far from ideal. Although he could tell that the fireball was about to explode, he couldn't tell when it would explode. The fireball didn't explode in midair. Instead, after its upward momentum dissipated, it transformed into a twenty-colored fire lotus, which then began to fall back down.
"Run!"
Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun didn't even look back. He didn't dare to catch the flame lotus; he didn't know when it would explode. Therefore, there was no need to say anything else. Run!
There was no need for Bai Xiaochun to call out to them. The River-Defying Sect disciples were well aware of his ability to cause trouble, and were already several dozen kilometers away. In fact, they were even faster than Bai Xiaochun.
WHIZZZ!
After flying for about twenty kilometers, Bai Xiaochun looked back suspiciously. Based on what he knew of the explosive power of the flame lotus, it should be in the final moments of exploding.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked back. As soon as he did, his heart began to pound. The flame lotus had landed precisely on the peak of the mountain, right above the palace where Cheng Hao was in secluded meditation.
"I'm finished. I'm in big trouble!" Sighing inwardly, he scowled on the verge of tears as he watched the twenty-colored flame lotus explode.
RUMBLE!
A monstrous roar immediately erupted from the fireball. The rumbling sounds caused the sky and earth to change colors, and an indescribable sea of fire that shook the sky and earth spread out in all directions with a loud rumble.
From a distance, the sea of flames was shocking, and the terrifying power it radiated caused the air to burn. As the flames spread out, the entire area within dozens of kilometers of the River-Defying Sect was scorched black!
SPLAT!
Some of the River-Defying Sect disciples who hadn't fled far enough were sent flying, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. Thankfully, everyone had been prepared for this to happen, and no one was in the vicinity of Bai Xiaochun's immortal's cave. Otherwise, the River-Defying Sect would have suffered terrifying losses.
"Bai Xiaochun!"
A voice filled with anger suddenly came from the terrifying sea of fire. Following the appearance of the voice, the terrifying sea of fire that engulfed the void and the earth suddenly calmed down and gradually extinguished. However, the originally scorching hot void suddenly dropped in temperature at this moment. An ice-cold chill assaulted everyone. Not only did the chill penetrate into their bones, it also penetrated into their souls, causing them to stiffen on the spot.
WHOOSH!
A huge, black hand ripped through the air, covering heaven and earth. Countless divine designs flickered on its surface, and a towering pressure weighed down on Bai Xiaochun. With a casual clench of the hand, it lifted Bai Xiaochun up by his legs and hung him upside down in midair.
"Bai Xiaochun, are you trying to murder me for my money?"
The flames faded away, and the mountain behind Bai Xiaochun's cave was nowhere to be seen. The only thing that remained was a palace, floating there in the air, lonely and bleak.
The palace, which was originally emitting a green light, now had no trace of its original green bricks. It was pitch-black, like the black base of a pot. It looked dark and swarthy, and emitted a scorching aura. It was simply ugly to the extreme.
"Senior, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!"
Bai Xiaochun's face was a bit flushed, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest. Instead, he tried his best to raise his head and explain with an embarrassed expression on his face, "I'm sorry.
BAM!
"This is the only time I'll do this!"
The hand waved, and Bai Xiaochun was flung hundreds of kilometers away. Then, Cheng Hao's cold voice echoed out from within the palace, causing Bai Xiaochun to feel as if his soul were being ripped to shreds. That was especially true of Bai Xiaochun, who couldn't help but grunt in pain.
Bai Xiaochun looked up at the pitch-black palace, but didn't dare to say anything. Clasping hands angrily in the direction of the palace, he flew off into the distance.
"This time, I'll get as far away as possible so I won't disturb that freak's cultivation."
As he flew along, he considered his next course of action. "Conjuring flame is too dangerous," he thought. "I'll just concoct some pills. At most, I'll get some acid rain or fog. As long as I'm far enough away, I shouldn't be able to affect that eccentric."
Inwardly praising himself for his brilliant decision, Bai Xiaochun once again put on a proud and confident smile. It was as if nothing in heaven or earth could cause him any trouble.
"With the wave of a hand, I turned that freak Haotian's palace black. Who under heaven would dare to do something like that?"
Hands clasped behind his back, Bai Xiaochun looked like a Daoist master who had achieved the Dao. Mixed emotions could be seen on the faces of the surrounding River-Defying Sect disciples, and he nodded casually at them, as if he were a member of the Senior generation meeting with a member of the younger generation.
However, the more nonchalant he was, the more the disciples around him were in awe of him. After bowing one by one, they quickly fled into the distance, afraid that another disaster would happen if they ran too far away.
"Ai. Life really is as lonely as snow. None of them can understand how outstanding Bai Xiaochun is!"
As the River-Defying Sect disciples fled, Bai Xiaochun shook his head helplessly and sighed. It was as if no one in the world could ever understand what was going on in his heart, and how lonely he felt.
About 500 kilometers away from Cheng Hao's secluded meditation facilities, Bai Xiaochun found a deep valley that was part of the River-Defying Sect's territory. Because of the demonic beasts that roamed the area, and the lack of human activity, it was the perfect place for him to concoct pills without worrying about being disturbed.
Time passed. Not a single sound could be heard from the valley where Bai Xiaochun was concocting pills. Everything was very quiet, and the River-Defying Sect disciples who had been hovering in midair in order to keep an eye on him breathed sighs of relief.
"The junior patriarch started out as a pill concoction master, and his pill concocting skills are far superior to flame conjuring. It seems things will be peaceful for a while."
"That's right. Even if something unexpected happens, the worst that could happen would be some strange weather. Besides, there's no one else in the 50-kilometer area, so there's no need to worry about anyone getting hurt."
