I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 987 - 988: Your Kid is Brawling

Chapter 987: Chapter 988: Your Kid is Brawling

At that moment, on the Immortal Spirit Continent, within the Three Sects, Li Xiaobai gathered the Immortal Stones from the Five-colored Altar and tucked them into his pouch, as the spatial passage in the void dissipated and restored tranquility.

At the same time, the Sin Value above his head continued to increase.

“Sin Value: Four million eight hundred thousand!”

A further increase of one hundred thousand Sin Value was without question a consequence of the activation of the Star of Earthly Explosion. But those slain were mostly cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm and Earth Immortal Realm, as none from the Heavenly Immortal Realm had perished; otherwise, the Sin Value would have much exceeded a mere hundred thousand points.

“Master, the disciples of the Three Sects have all surrendered and are currently at the foot of the mountain.”

Fu Tiantian reported. During the brief period when Li Xiaobai had entered the passage, all cultivators from the Three Sects had kneeled and begged for mercy, hoping to be spared their lives.

...

“Lead the way.”

Li Xiaobai had no good feelings for these individuals who actively submitted to the Central Origin Realm and were willing to be the lapdogs of the Blood Demon Sect. However, as they were also cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent, massacring them indiscriminately was not an option.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Xiaobai saw many familiar faces—the Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects, Artifact God Xian, Zhen Qiankun, Zhong Daoquan, along with several ancestors and some young cultivators he had once interacted with.

At this moment, many cultivators looking up at the youth on the mountaintop were filled with bitterness. Once upon a time, the man above them was just a youth pursued by them across the land and sea. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had become a terrifying entity who could easily control their fate.

“We have seen Young Master Li. Our Three Sects are grateful for Young Master Li’s generous care, and for having graced us with his presence to annihilate the demon head of the Blood Demon Sect—it is indeed a great fortune for our Three Sects!”

The ancestor of the Qi Sect, Yan Xiaoqi, said respectfully with a clenched fist and a bow.

“As cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent, it is an undeniable duty to contribute to the land that nurtured us, but the actions of the various clans in Central Province have indeed chilled the hearts of the common people.”

“To keep oneself safe is not the same as aiding tyranny. Do you, the Three Great Sects, now possess a heart of repentance?”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Ever since the Blood Demon Sect established itself in Central Province, our Three Great Sects have been walking on thin ice, fearing even the slightest harm to our Sect Disciples. We even committed many acts detrimental to the lives of all under heaven to protect our sects, enduring extreme torment every day. Now, to our happiness, Young Master Li has returned, and the Blood Demon Sect’s tyranny is no more; our Three Great Sects are willing to turn over a new leaf and start anew!”

“The Qi Sect is willing to disperse all its wealth to rebuild homes for the people of Central Province who have been displaced!”

The Qi Sect ancestor said in a deep voice.

“My Array Formation Sect is also willing to help Central Province restore its former prosperity!”

“So is the Elixir Sect!”

The other two ancestors hurriedly followed suit, understanding the importance of pledging their loyalty at this moment.

“Is this truly what your hearts say? You must know, as of now, I have only eradicated the forces of the Central Origin Realm in the Northern Region, Western Desert, and three locations in Central Province. I haven’t yet swept through Southern Ming and the Eastern Sea. Who’s to say that it’s impossible for the Blood Demon Sect to invade again through the spatial passages from the southeast continents? When that time comes, will you still be capable of reforming as you are now?”

Li Xiaobai spoke with profound meaning, his gaze intensely fixed on the crowd below, scrutinizing the expressions on the faces of the cultivators.

If even a hint of hesitation or flickering could be seen in the eyes of any disciples from the Three Sects, he would strike immediately to eliminate them. There was no place for traitors on the Immortal Spirit Continent.

“Of course, it’s the truth!”

“Young Master Li is a rare talent, and we are willing to stake the future of the Three Sects on you!”

“Before, we had no choice, but now we want to be good people!”

“From now on, we ask Young Master Li to lead the development of the Three Sects and regain our freedom!”

The faces of the Three Sects’ Ancestors were resolute. Clearly, they were making a bet, gambling on the native prodigy of the Immortal Spirit Continent to be able to purge all the parasites from the land and protect them.

Having lived for many years, these ancestors knew the dynamics of the continent inside and out. In the past, the cultivators of the various powers from the Central Origin Realm on the Immortal Spirit Continent had dominated; they had no chance to rise up against oppression. But now, the equation had changed with Li Xiaobai’s emergence. If he could successfully fend off the intrusion of the Central Origin Realm, they would regain their freedom.

Compared to becoming slaves of the Central Origin Realm, they preferred to regain their freedom.

“Good, spread the message. Within half an incense stick’s burning time, I want to see all forces stationed in the Central Province from the Central Origin Realm come for a pilgrimage, or they will face death!”

Li Xiaobai spoke slowly. The Central Province was vast, with countless Central Origin Realm cultivators deployed by the various powers. It was better to have them come to him rather than to sweep them out one by one.

“Understood, I will make the arrangements now!”

The Three Sects’ Ancestors replied respectfully and quickly left with their men.

“Master, shouldn’t we go first to recover the altars in the Eastern Sea and the Southern Ming?”

Fu Tiantian asked.

“It’s alright. My senior brother has already gone to the Eastern Sea. We just need to wait for the good news.”

“Besides, summoning and deploying forces is not as simple as it seems. By the time they send back the message and dispatch experts, your master will have already cleaned up the Mainland.”

Li Xiaobai explained patiently, his achievement in killing Monk Tianxuan would surely reach the Central Origin Realm. Logically, sending Half-Saint Realm cultivators would be the most secure, but Half-Saints were the mainstay of the Great Sects, scarce in number and not to be mobilized lightly. If they were to send Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, the number wouldn’t be small, but sending too many would also leave their Sect in a vulnerable state for a moment, inevitably leading to a debate.

It was not something that could be decided in just a sentence or two.

“However, my dear disciple’s worries are not unreasonable. As for the Southern Ming, let them go!”

Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist, and ten gargantuan beings thunderously landed on the ground.

“Roar!”

A beastly roar echoed through the heavens, as if it could shatter the sky itself.

Ten Godzilla-like beasts appeared, nine at the Human Immortal Realm and the leading one at the Earth Immortal Realm, towering and majestic with blood-red eyes and fierce fangs that seemed able to pierce through all things. Their thick tails blazed with suffocating Red Lotus Karmic Fire as they howled to the sky.

“Go to the Southern Ming, kill those Central Origin Realm cultivators, and bring back the Five-colored Altar!”

“If there’s extra time, check on the Eastern Sea and tell my senior brother to hurry back.”

Li Xiaobai issued his orders.

“Roar!”

The ten Godzilla-like beasts roared in unison in response to Li Xiaobai’s words, then they disappeared from sight as the ground shook and the mountains trembled.

The existence of these Godzilla-like beasts was limited to two hours, after which they would dissipate on their own. With an Earth Immortal Realm Godzilla leading them, their defensive power was unparalleled; eliminating a few Central Origin Realm cultivators was no big deal.

“Master, these Demonic Beasts are…”

Fu Tiantian was shocked, realizing her master always had shocking moves up his sleeve. Such terrifying, world-destroying beasts were summoned effortlessly—she almost felt sorry for those Central Origin Realm cultivators.

“These Demonic Beasts are called Godzillas, or Brother Zilla if you will. They are a group of mighty beasts with formidable fighting capabilities, though they have certain restrictions and can only exist for two hours.”

Li Xiaobai said with a faint smile.

“I see.”

Fu Tiantian nodded thoughtfully.

“Let’s go, let’s return to the Sect Main Hall to wait for the outcome.”

As the master and disciple conversed, Ji Wuqing suddenly came bouncing over, yelling at the top of his lungs, “Kid, come and see, your creatures are having a brawl!”
