I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1202: You Want to Be My Dad? Chapter 1201: Chapter 1202: You Want to Be My Dad? “I wish to become the Supreme Elder.”

Li Xiaobai stated dryly.

As these words echoed through the hall, silence reigned once more. The title 'Supreme Elder' carried significant weight, more than just a simple title.

No one dared to speak; even the Blood Fiend Elder beside him was somewhat baffled. This bald man wants to be the Supreme Elder?

Do you even know what a Supreme Elder is before you desire to be one?

“Supreme Elder?”

“Do you realize what standing a Supreme Elder holds, and do you know that there is no such position as Supreme Elder within our sect?”

From the throne, the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect spoke in a hoarse voice. His tone was calm, but the chilling aura in his words was perceptible to everyone.

The Sect Master, shrouded in an aura of mystery, was enraged!

“I do not, but since I have arrived, it is only fitting for the Blood Demon Sect to establish the position of a Supreme Elder.”

Li Xiaobai, hands behind his back, spoke leisurely. Indeed, he felt somewhat nervous inside, but having posed as a high-level Saint Realm expert, he needed to appear strong and domineering.

The stronger the front, the less likely it is to be exposed.

“The title of Supreme Elder is given to a former Sect Leader when he steps down, and the Blood Demon Sect always has a tradition of lineal succession, passed only to the progeny. Since my father ascended to immortality, there has been no Supreme Elder. Today, you dare to ask to be the Supreme Elder of the Blood Demon Sect?”

“Your strength has gained the recognition of the Blood Demon and is indeed unique. The Blood Demon Sect also values talents, and today I treat you as one of us. Are you actually vying to be my father?”

“Are you truly fearless due to ignorance, or have you come here deliberately to provoke?”

“In the Central Origin Realm, it has been many years since anyone has dared to speak so boldly before me, Blood God's Child!”

The voice of the Sect Master grew colder, a subtle killing intent spread out, and a thick scent of blood rushed forth. Li Xiaobai felt his movements become more sluggish and difficult, the air becoming exceptionally viscous–these were manifestations of the opponent's actualized killing intent. Just a slight display was this impactful; if he were to fully release his overwhelming murderous aura, perhaps even the heart in his body might instantly freeze.

Such a domineering presence, such a dreadful killing intent, what cultivation level does this Blood God's Child have, also a Saint Realm powerhouse capable of igniting two Divine Fires?

It seems like the Blood Demon and others are of little significance in his presence!

Li Xiaobai's pupils shrank, yet his expression turned somewhat peculiar. So, within the Blood Demon Sect, the meaning of Supreme Elder is essentially the Sect Master's father?

No wonder the expressions around him changed; there was this nuanced meaning to it.

“Cough cough, Sect Master must have misunderstood. I did not intend to make you my father. The Supreme Elder I refer to means a role just below one person and above tens of thousands. However, since the Blood Demon Sect does not have this tradition, I will not insist. Just assign me any Elder position as you see fit.”

“The Sect Master at first glance is indeed a highly cultivated and experienced cultivator. To have you as my son would be shortening my lifespan. It would be more appropriate for me to revere you instead.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand and said cheerfully.

The Blood God's Child was silent for a moment. This bald man seemed to be praising him, but why did it feel like none of it was actually complimentary?

How annoying his words were!

“Given that, I bestow upon you the position of Core Elder. Within our sect, there are three types of Elders: External Sect Elders who manage the External Sect and miscellaneous disciples, Inner Sect Elders who oversee the Inner Sect and the Saint Heirs, and Core Elders who are responsible for handling major affairs for the sect and occasionally providing guidance to the Saint Heirs and Divine Children. From today onwards, you will be at the same level as the Blood Fiend Elder. Are you satisfied?”

The Blood God's Child stated indifferently.

“I abide by the Sect Master's arrangement.”

Li Xiaobai clasped his hands in salute.

The position of Core Elder was about as he expected. Being on equal footing with the Blood Fiend would undoubtedly grant him significant power, making it much easier to investigate the area where the infant was.

“Step aside for now. How goes the acceptance of disciples, Sect Master?”

The Blood God's Child clearly did not want to entangle more with Li Xiaobai and turned to ask the Blood Fiend Elder slowly. Adding another member to the Saint Realm was not something to rejoice at in the Blood Demon Sect, as the attitude toward cultivators seeking entry was always to accept first, then inspect, and only after gaining a clear understanding of the other's true identity and intentions would they truly control them. If they couldn't control them, they would naturally take action in secret.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, I have brought forward the most talented among this batch of disciples; I request the Sect Master's keen judgment.”

From the crowd, Elder Chen parted the onlookers, escorting Meng Qi forward as he spoke slowly.

“Is it her?”

“How about the other disciples, report in detail.”

The Blood God's Child observed Meng Qi, speaking leisurely.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, this girl named Meng Qi is at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the strongest among those who came to our sect for the examination. Defeating all the top experts, she rightfully emerged as the leading figure among the younger generation and, in my opinion, qualifies to be a Saint Heir!”

Elder Chen exaggerated wildly as he detailed the events of yesterday's examination, leaving Li Xiaobai, who was watching on the side, utterly dumbfounded.

The things Elder Chen described didn't match at all what he had seen; this woman claimed that the last part of the examination was organized as a massive free-for-all survival battle where cultivators killed each other for one hour, and the one who still stood victorious was forbidden. As it turned out, Meng Qi alone overturned all the cultivators in a single leap, becoming the dark horse of this recruitment session.

If not for witnessing it himself, Li Xiaobai might have believed her. This woman was no pushover; to clear her relationship, she even dared to deceive the Sect Master, and she argued convincingly, resembling reality. On the side, Meng Qi also nodded frequently, seemingly agreeing with what was being said.

It seems these two had conspired early on.

“Having Elder Chen's approval is indeed rare. Show us some of your martial skills; let me give you some pointers!”

The Blood God's Child seemed interested as he addressed Meng Qi.

On the surface, it was to test the other's cultivation level, but in reality, it was an opportunity to see if there were any inconsistencies in what Elder Chen had said. If she really had killed that many Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, the Sin Value she carried would undoubtedly be a vast number.

“Yes!”

Meng Qi stepped forward boldly and performed a set of boxing techniques. Her moves were vigorous, with Immortal Yuan Power enveloping her body, and a row of blood-colored numbers appeared above her head.

“Sin Value: 12 million!”

The expressions of the audience remained unchanged. If this were any ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm disciple, they would have been surprised and even interrogated her thoroughly, but if she managed to kill all the participating disciples and achieved such a Sin Value, it wasn't much, and they even thought it to be somewhat low.

Li Xiaobai's eyes narrowed slightly. Yesterday, he saw her Sin Value was only a few hundred thousand, but now it had skyrocketed to tens of millions, it seemed Elder Chen was determined to make her one of the Saint Heirs of the Blood Demon Sect.

Gaining such an immense Sin Value in one go probably meant that she found a dying Semi-Saint to stab, adding to her tally. This woman had ulterior motives for coming to the Blood Demon Sect; she was an unpredictable variable. It would be best to find an opportunity to investigate her background further.
