I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 984 - 985: Lamenting Their Misfortune, Angered by Their Lack of Struggle

Chapter 984 -985: Lamenting Their Misfortune, Angered by Their Lack of Struggle

Several young men were on high alert, staring intently at the movements at the sect gate.

A fierce-looking Steel Behemoth roared and suddenly launched an attack, galloping across the mountains.

The nearby sect cultivators scattered in all directions, not daring to clash with its sharp edge.

“Who dares to cause trouble at the Blood Demon Sect!”

The leading young man said indifferently, his voice drifting into Fu Tiantian’s ears, who immediately looked up to the sky with a thick surge of blood-red light in his eyes.

“It’s him, that guy!”

...

“The one who annihilated the Devil Cloud Cave!”

“I’ve finally found you!”

Fu Tiantian’s heart was ablaze with anger. Even if the leading young man in midair were to be reduced to ashes, she would recognize him.

She stretched out her hand and evolved a series of blue runes in the void, but this time, nothing happened; the opponent remained motionless, not perturbed, Human Immortal Realm wasn’t something she could shake, unlike Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

“I am Li Xiaobai. I heard that the Blood Demon Sect is notoriously tyrannical, and I am here today to eliminate a threat to the people!”

Li Xiaobai stood up and spoke lightly.

“I am Liu Yin, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Demon Sect. Our sect has always avoided crossing paths with you, sir, and we haven’t offended you. Why do you confront us today?”

The leading young man asked coldly.

“So, it is Brother Liu Yin. Do you not know that the Immortal Spirit Continent is my domain? You stir up storms on my turf without asking if I permit it!”

“The Northern Region and the Western Desert are precedents for you. Today, it’s your turn to become ghosts under my sword!”

Li Xiaobai drew his sword and spoke slowly.

“Your domain?”

“The young man does really boast great airs!”

An aged voice emerged, and an elder instantaneously appeared, treading the void with two fierce beams of murderous intent in his eyes and a sky of Demonic Flame.

“We meet Elder Xue Ming!”

Several young men bowed respectfully and retreated behind the elder.

“I am Elder Xue Ming of the Blood Demon Sect. In all my years in the Central Origin Realm, no one has ever dared to threaten to annihilate the Blood Demon Sect. Young man, you are overly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. If the experts from my sect come crossing realms, there will be no place for you to hide!”

“However, heaven cherishes talents, and I always value them. I do not wish for a talent to be buried. If you would submit to me, I could recommend you to join the cultivation of the Blood Demon Sect. How about that?”

Xue Ming, a shriveled old man, even thinner than Monk Tianxuan, looked liked a set of bones wrapped in a skin bag, utterly a humanoid skeleton, probably a side effect of practicing a certain cultivation technique.

“The Blood Demon Sect might be strong, but it’s just in the Central Origin Realm. Elder, with merely the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm, how dare you speak so boldly before me? Who gave you such confidence!”

“Today I come to plead for the people, to act on behalf of heaven to eradicate pests like you!”

Li Xiaobai’s longsword swept out, the black Sword Intent swirling and slicing towards the people in the air.

This was the Demon-Sealing Sword Evocation!

Elder Xue Ming’s eyes showed a trace of fear, and he quickly dodged away, but he didn’t remain silent, he pointed at the hundreds of youths participating in the Blood Demon Sect’s assessment below and said loudly: “Is it truly to plead for the people? Young Master Li, why not ask them if they wish for your rescue!”

“Your cultivators from the Central Origin Realm bring disasters on the Immortal Spirit Continent, causing the common people to live in misery and displacement, fleeing for their lives. Sending you on the path to the Yellow Springs today not only aligns with the people’s will but also follows heaven’s intention!”

Li Xiaobai spoke with a grave voice,

“Why don’t you listen to their hearts and see if the people really want redemption as you claim?”

Elder Xue Ming responded indifferently, mockery evident in his gaze.

“Brother Li, you are indeed highly skilled and talented, but you cannot hinder our progress!”

“Yes, just one more step through the assessment and I would be able to cultivate in the Blood Demon Sect, how can you selfishly destroy someone’s future by snatching that away?”

“The Three Sects don’t need your rescue, Brother Li, better you save those who actually need saving!”

“Yes, yes, if you hadn’t come, by now I would already be cultivating within the Blood Demon Sect!”

Hundreds of Disciples below plucked up their courage and spoke in unison. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for and they were not willing to let go of it so easily. Even if the person in question was Li Xiaobai, how could a genius compare to the profound heritage of a sect that stood unyielding through a thousand years?

“Master has come here today specifically to rescue you, how can you be like this! You’re just ungrateful wolves!”

Fu Tiantian exclaimed angrily.

“It’s all his wishful thinking, had he not come, by now I would already be a cultivator of the Blood Demon Sect!”

The young talents were unyielding and responded coldly.

“The Blood Demon Sect has slaughtered civilians and cultivators among which are some of your families, do you not harbor any resentment in your hearts?”

“They are the scourge of the Mainland, countless sects have been destroyed by their hands, don’t you feel any rage?”

Fu Tiantian’s eyes were filled with disbelief and incredulity as he bellowed.

“Our clans are doing just fine, if all the sects on the Mainland had willingly surrendered, naturally none of the cultivators would have died; these are their own choices, you can’t blame anyone else!”

“And we cultivators just want to seek a better refuge, to obtain better resources and Cultivation Techniques, to ascend to higher realms, there is nothing wrong in that!”

“If Young Master Li truly wants the best for us, he should learn to let go instead of blocking our way forward!”

The young talents also argued angrily.

“I also have sect influence and resources in the Central Origin Realm, why not follow me and cultivate there?”

“Choosing this murderous Demon Sect is akin to playing with fire.”

Li Xiaobai sheathed his longsword and asked lightly.

“Excuse my bluntness, Young Master Li is indeed a prodigy, but we are not, As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to nest in, a wise official chooses a master to serve! Can Young Master’s power even be compared to the centuries-old unyielding Blood Demon Sect?”

“We’re just seeking better opportunities! Please grant us our wish!”

The hundreds of young talents below took a bold stand, loudly stating their request, far from being grateful but instead wanting to send Li Xiaobai away, which would probably shock any ordinary family into dropping their jaws.

Li Xiaobai closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm his mind. He knew that these people below had been captivated by the illusory words of the Blood Demon Sect, their minds filled with inflating desires, no longer able to listen to anyone else.

Unbelievably, in Central Province, this trip encountered those far removed from normal, absurdly aspiring to join the Blood Demon Sect.

“Excellent, I didn’t expect the Immortal Spirit Continent to have such spineless people. Compared to the thousands of brave souls in Devil Cloud Cave, you are immensely inferior, I wouldn’t even want to stain my hands by killing you!”

“Fine, I shall grant your wish, Elder Xue Ming, isn’t it? Give you ten breaths to activate the altar and send these people into the Blood Demon Sect of the Central Origin Realm!”

Li Xiaobai spoke with his hands behind his back, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

These youths wanted to join the Blood Demon Sect, so he would let them see what their cultivation journey in the Blood Demon Sect would really entail!

Sometimes, a hard dose of reality is needed to see the world clearly, though the cost of realization is often life itself.
