I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 985 - 986: Slipping Up to Deliver a Big Gift

Chapter 985 -986: Slipping Up to Deliver a Big Gift

Xue Ming felt that something was off about the momentum. As he hesitated and dragged out the process of opening and constructing the space channel at the altar, he had already sent another Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse back to the Blood Demon Sect to call for reinforcements. At this moment, all he needed to do was to continue stalling for time until a large group of experts arrived.

“Many thanks, Young Master Li, for making this possible!”

Hundreds of youths bowed with their fists clasped before them, striding with their heads held high into the space channel and disappearing within the Three Sects.

“Young Master Li, may we sit down and discuss this properly? In fact, there are not as many people suffering on this mainland as you might imagine. We cultivators from the Central Origin Realm have come to these Barbaric Lands, which is like opening up the sky for them, giving them the opportunity to come into contact with higher-level beings. For ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a good thing!”

“If you have any dissatisfaction with the Blood Demon Sect, Young Master, feel free to raise it. We are not unreasonable. If we have indeed done something wrong, we will rectify it immediately!”

Elder Xue Ming’s withered face broke into a smile, hoping to negotiate and buy time.

...

“Where’s the dog you captured?”

Li Xiaobai asked indifferently.

“You must be referring to the Kylin. It went to the Fire Qilin Cave and was captured by the masters stationed there. As long as you can let bygones be bygones, my lord, I will immediately order its release!”

Xue Ming said.

“No need. For someone who is about to die, I hold no grudges in my heart.”

“You are from the Blood Demon Sect, so I’ll use the methods of the Blood Demon Sect to kill you!”

“Heart of the Blood Demon!”

A huge blood-colored heart suddenly materialized in the void, countless tentacles swarming and sweeping towards several Blood Demon Sect cultivators, with surging blood qi threatening to engulf them.

“Heart of the Blood Demon! This is the Heart of the Blood Demon!”

“This is the secret technique of our Blood Demon Sect that only the most core disciples can learn. How did you manage to acquire it!”

“Who on earth are you!”

Seeing that massive, bloodied heart, Xue Ming could no longer maintain his composure. This was his sect’s most guarded secret technique, yet it had been so easily used by the young man before him?

Could Li Xiaobai actually be a core disciple of the Blood Demon Sect? Or did he torture this technique out of a core disciple his sect had lost?

Xue Ming’s mind was in turmoil; he flickered and in an instant appeared beside the space channel opened by the Five-colored Altar, which he had left as his own means of escape. He had not closed the channel directly before, precisely to prevent this type of situation from occurring.

As long as he could escape back to the Central Origin Realm, no matter how bizarre the youngster’s abilities were, he couldn’t possibly stir up any major trouble or waves!

But in the next second, he felt his body uncontrollably retreating, and along with him, other Human Immortal Realm cultivators were involuntarily drawn towards Li Xiaobai, and then dropped to their knees, lifting their hands high up in a gesture of utmost worship, the impulse to submit surging in their hearts.

“What kind of sword technique is this that it can control my body!”

“This technique has sealed our cultivation level!”

“Even a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator couldn’t go this far, suppressing even the Immortal Yuan within our Dantian. How could you possibly do this!”

A torrent of shock and awe surged in the hearts of Xue Ming and the others. They had previously heard rumors of the death of Master Tianxuan at this person’s hands and thought there was something suspicious, but now they saw that the monk had died rightfully so!

With such strength and methods, they were powerless to resist and were suppressed in an instant. Even the most talented of the Blood Demon Sect couldn’t achieve this, could they?

It was unheard of for a boor from the Barbaric Lands to have come this far!

“You can’t kill me. The Heavenly Immortal Realm masters of the Blood Demon Sect will soon arrive. If you kill me now, you are surely doomed!”

They howled desperately.

“Yelling won’t help you. Safe travels on Yellow Springs Bridge, elder!”

Li Xiaobai said calmly, as countless blood-colored tentacles burst forth from the void, piercing into everyone’s bodies and swiftly desiccating them into dried husks.

The Heart of the Blood Demon shone with a captivating light, growing even more vivid.

Flashes of blood-colored light sparked in the void, and the Sin Value materialized.

“Sin Value: 4,600,000!”

After annihilating several cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect, my Sin Value increased by another one hundred thousand. Not all of the Blood Demon Sect cultivators were within the Three Sects; many were stationed in the Fire Qilin Cave. However, since they did not control the Five-colored Altar, they were not to be feared.

“My clever disciple, wait here for me while I make a trip up there,” Elder Li Xiaobai said calmly, striding into the spatial passage. At this moment, cultivators of the Central Origin Realm believed that Elder Xue Ming had opened the passage and would certainly underestimate it. It was the perfect time for him to burst in and catch them off guard, delivering a lovely surprise.

At the same time, in the heartland of the Blood Demon Sect in the Central Origin Realm.

After opening the passage between the two realms, the high ranks of the Blood Demon Sect immediately moved the altar to the sect’s stronghold, making this portal property exclusively of the Blood Demon Sect.

Recently, they had broadly recruited labor from the Barbaric Lands, adding quite a bit of fresh blood.

At this moment, an Elder of the Heavenly Immortal Realm led the team, silently waiting for any activity from the other end of the spatial passage. The passage required sufficient resources to be placed upon the altars at both ends for it to open. Previously, the altar, heavy with the Aura of Death, might not activate even once in a month, but today it had opened repeatedly—an unusually frequent occurrence.

“Not long ago, Xue Ming sent people over asking for support, and now the passage has opened again so soon. I wonder who will come through this time,” whispered a disciple standing by.

“Going by the dates, it should be time to send over provisions. Could this passage be transporting the young from the Barbaric Lands?”

“When I see the faces of these pigs, I always want to laugh. They’re exploited like cattle but remain blissfully unaware, even pleased; they’re really pigs at heart, born for a lowly fate.”

“Silence! Be prudent in your words. Some things should not be heard by the cultivators from the Barbaric Lands!” the Elder loudly reprimanded.

Just then, a series of footsteps echoed through the passage, followed by hundreds of young men and women appearing en masse, stepping out of the portal with faces full of curiosity and awe.

“Identify yourselves, state your names!” the Elder asked in a deep voice.

“We humbly inform the honored immortals that we are cultivators from the Immortal Spirit Continent who have passed the tests of Elder Xue Ming and earned the right to cultivate with the Blood Demon Sect,” said a young man at the forefront, bowing with a clenched fist, his eyes ablaze with fervor.

“Ah, introduced by Elder Xue Ming, not bad at all. There’s no need for any registration. Zhao Si, take them to the Saint Heir’s dwelling. From now on, you’ll be the Attendant Students to the Saint Heir. Each of you will receive a Cultivation Technique, enough to practice until you reach the Human Immortal Realm!”

“Remember, you must serve the Saint Heir well!” the Elder said cheerfully.

“Yes!” Zhao Si, the disciple addressed, could not help but reveal a hint of fear at the mention of the Saint Heir.

“Thank you, Elder!” The young talents were excited, not noticing anything amiss. To accompany the Saint Heir in their cultivation upon arrival was an unexpected stroke of luck!

“Mhm, off you go!” A touch of mockery glinted in the Elder’s eyes, undetected. A bunch of pigs actually dared to dream of joining the Blood Demon Sect for cultivation not knowing that their only use was to become cultivation fodder for the Saint Heir and a few core disciples!

The Immortal Spirit Continent really was a good place to farm these pigs for the Heart of the Blood Demon.

The hundreds of disciples were led away.

After a while, the spatial passage did not disappear, suggesting that both sides continued to supply their resources to the altar, indicating that there were no plans to shut down the altar from the Immortal Spirit Continent’s side.

“What is Xue Ming up to, wasting resources?” The Elder wondered, a tinge of confusion in his eyes. The passage’s purpose was to transport talent through the Earth Spirit Realm, so its opening and closing were primarily controlled from that side. The Blood Demon Sect here never removed resources to close the passage in principle.

Several disciples gathered around, just as puzzled.

But just as they all wondered, a young man’s head suddenly emerged from the darkness of the passage, staring right at them and startling them into involuntary retreat.

A sinister grin spread across the young man’s face, “Heh heh, hello there!”
