Chapter 66 The "Blood Sect" Disciple Who Caused Trouble

Chapter 66 The "Blood Sect" Disciple Who Caused Trouble (Seeking First Subscription!)

Raphael immediately recognized the man at the back of the group of cultivators, whose features were fairly regular and who wore a fawning smile, as a disciple of the Blood Sect. Perhaps Raphael hadn't concealed his gaze well enough, causing the Blood Sect disciple to lose face, and the man glared angrily at Raphael.

Because in the twelve provinces of the world, only the middle class and commoners wore the trousers and blouses that Raphael found comfortable, and to be looked down upon by such people...

Of course, it would anger the other party, since even though the disciples of the "Blood Sect" are cultivators, ordinary people would still politely address them as "Immortal Master".

Raphael smiled indifferently and looked away.

Raphael was no stranger to young cultivators traveling in groups, because in the "Celestial Dynasty" era, which is the last thousand years, there had only been a few fierce battles with evil cults, and there were no more open battles between the major forces.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of young disciples, disciples of each sect can usually go out for training together after advancing to the middle of the "Mortal Realm", which is Sequence 8.

These cultivators should fall into this category.

Then, Raphael continued eating and drinking while watching the people coming and going outside.

Putting everything else aside, Raphael was quite satisfied with the food in the cultivator world.

After eating for a while, it gradually got dark, and the streetlights gradually came on, including incandescent streetlights and colorful, flashing neon lights.

These lights are all electric lights.

Raphael had also noticed that the technology in this world was slightly more advanced than that of the Republic of China era; it had trains, electric lights, and passenger airplanes.

There are even movies.

After drinking a pot of wine, Raphael went downstairs to pay the bill.

As for the money he had, it was "borrowed" from a businessman's house a couple of days ago.

The currency here comes in both paper money and coins, and it uses a very user-friendly decimal system, unlike the gold pounds, soles, and pennies of Rune.

Be careful with the conversions.

Arriving at an inn not far away, Raphael returned to his room and planned to take the train to Youzhou the next day.

That was the northernmost of the twelve states. In addition to the people of the Central State, there were also some ethnic minorities known as the Northern Barbarians, who were said to have very distinctive food and culture.

After making plans for a while, Raphael turned off the lights and rested.

In the middle of the night, he heard a sharp bell ringing.

Raphael immediately got up. The bell was a small one, which could carry a long distance and was struck very quickly.

He quickly recognized that it was the bell of the "Fire Watch Tower".

To Raphael's great surprise, even the world of cultivators had running water.

However, because industry was not yet so developed, water was pumped into tall water towers and then used the height of the towers to flow to every household.

In the city, you can see a tall water tower at regular intervals.

These water towers are usually the tallest buildings in the city, so a pavilion is usually built on top of the water tower. The fire brigade will send someone there to keep watch. As soon as a fire breaks out, they will immediately ring the bell in the pavilion to guide the fire brigade.

Therefore, the water tower is also known as the "fire watchtower".

When Raphael heard about this, he couldn't help but marvel at people's wisdom, for this was the best fire-fighting solution in an era before telephones were widespread.

At this moment, the bell of the "Fire Lookout Tower" rang loudly, indicating that there must be a fire somewhere.

Raphael drew back the curtains and looked out. Sure enough, he could see the city in the distance under the night sky, and there seemed to be some glowing areas.

Just as Raphael was about to draw the curtains, his spirit suddenly stirred, and he saw a figure running quickly down the street.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the other person had fairly regular features and was the "Blood Sect" disciple he had seen in the restaurant at dusk.

The Blood Sect disciple also sensed Raphael's gaze. Upon seeing Raphael upstairs, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he nimbly climbed up.

Raphael frowned slightly, sensing that the other person was about to beat him up. He guessed the other person still remembered the look he'd given him that afternoon.

While lamenting the other party's stinginess, Raphael quickly retreated.

With a crash, the "Blood Sect" disciple broke through the window and jumped in. Raphael activated the "Wolf Fang Technique," and his hair suddenly grew longer, several teeth became sharp, and his fingers rapidly lengthened, completing his transformation: "You'll pay for the glass!"

The disciples of the Blood Sect never expected that Raphael was actually a cultivator.

Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary hesitation, Raphael quickly stepped forward. The opponent immediately released a burst of flames to block it, but Raphael nimbly dodged to the side, took another step forward, extended his index finger, and his sharp wolf claw was already pressed against the opponent's throat.

At the same time, Raphael realized that the other party was a Sequence 7 "Pyromaniac" who had taken an "Inner Core".

Raphael was able to subdue his opponent so easily mainly because the opponent had seen Raphael dressed in trousers and a short shirt, which was the attire of a commoner, and did not expect Raphael to be a cultivator.

In addition, Raphael's "Wolf Fang Technique" has been practiced quite well, and he has basically fully exerted the power of the technique.

The Blood Sect disciple felt the sharp wolf claws at his throat. He tried to tilt his head back and said, "Brother, let me go, and I'll give you all the money I have."

Raphael laughed and said, "Do you think I'd be short of money?"

"Then...then just kill me—I—" This "Blood Sect" disciple was actually on the verge of tears: "...Anyway, I won't live much longer. They'll definitely kill me, they'll definitely kill me. No matter where I escape to, they'll definitely be able to find me through the essence blood I possess within the sect."

Raphael remained unmoved, his wolf claw already pressed against his throat: "You killed a 'Qi Sect' disciple?"

Fear flashed in the other person's eyes: "Kill—kill a disciple of the Qi Sect? Who dares to kill a disciple of the Qi Sect?"

Raphael frowned: "Then why did they—your fellow cultivators—try to kill you?"

"I—I accidentally started a fire—" The other person's eyes shifted slightly towards the window: "It burned down a lot of houses."

"Some people might have burned to death, and they would definitely kill me."

As he spoke, his voice trembled with emotion again: "I haven't been feeling well lately. I thought that coming out to gain some experience would help me feel better."

"But I didn't expect that I would set a fire in a daze just now."

Raphael withdrew his wolf claws: "You cry at the drop of a hat? How did you even pass the Blood Sect's test back then?"

"How can that be the same?" the other person said excitedly. "Back then, I was just a recent graduate, but now, because I've advanced to the late stage of the 'Mortal Realm,' my family has gained many privileges."

"But after I died, everything was gone—everything was gone—"

"Alright, alright," Raphael said, somewhat annoyed. "It was just a fire that killed a couple of people, is it really that big of a deal?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "I will help you through this difficult time, but you must provide your sect's cultivation techniques and any supernatural abilities you can access."
