I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1207

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1208 The Light of the Right Path Chapter 1207: Chapter 1208 The Light of the Right Path “Mmm, I knew it, the Sect wouldn't let me come here alone. But I didn't expect the Sect to take this trip so seriously, even sending a Saint Realm powerhouse to escort me. Junior Meng Qi, a True Disciple of the Demon Sealing Sect, pays respects to the senior!”

“This time, coming to the Blood Demon Sect is to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and convey intelligence back to the Sect in real time. For this, I need to climb to a higher and safer position, and I hope the senior can lend me a helping hand!”

Meng Qi knelt on one knee and made a fist-and-palm salute as she spoke.

Li Xiaobai understood; this girl was a cultivator from the Demon Sealing Sect, who had deliberately come to spy within the Blood Demon Sect, their arch-enemy. He hadn't expected to bump into her.

Back when they first met outside the Blood Demon Sect, he wondered why the disciple of the Chess Saint would come to the vile Blood Demon Sect. Now it all made sense; this little lass was undercover, here to steal intelligence.

After seeing him display the Demon-Sealing Sword Qi, she straightforwardly assumed he was a top Elder of the Demon Sealing Sect, even thinking that the Sect sent a powerful reinforcement!

“Heh heh, the little girl is quite astute, able to discern my true identity with one glance. Not bad, not bad, worthy of being my Demon Sealing Sect's disciple!”

“That's right, I indeed am a Saint Realm powerhouse of the Demon Sealing Sect. My name is Bald Qiang, and I am a good person!”

A smile emerged on Li Xiaobai's face, full of appreciation as he spoke, now that he understood the whole story. The girl in front of him didn't understand a thing, the entire extensive spy drama played out in her head after just a single encounter, relying completely on her own imagination.

“Senior, I take you as my Master today. From now on, you are my mentor, and I will follow all your commands and look up to you, Master Bald Qiang!”

Meng Qi said with a solemn expression.

“Good, very good, your loyalty to the Sect is already known to me. In two days, during the tri-cave and hex-courtyard competition, I can make you the number one Saint Heir. If there's a chance, you can even take out the Divine Child alongside.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and slowly spoke; before he knew it, he had gained another person on his side. Meng Qi's loyalty seemed exceptionally high. As long as he ensured that he didn't blow his cover, he should be able to keep ordering her around casually.

“Does Master have any wise plans?”

A flash of brilliance crossed Meng Qi's eyes as she couldn't help but ask. The tri-cave and hex-courtyard were all made up of the Blood Demon Sect's genius disciples, and any one of them taken out would be a prodigious talent. Even as a True Disciple of the Demon Sealing Sect, she might not have much of an advantage, especially now that her identity was special. Many cultivation techniques of the Demon Sealing Sect couldn't be used within the Blood Demon Sect; otherwise, if exposed, she would only have a dead end. Therefore, she could only use some common cultivation techniques, greatly limiting her strength.

“That's simple. I'll bestow on you some items in two days; rest assured you'll surge forth and take the top spot among the Saint Heirs.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand, indicating that these were not problems at all. With the System Mall at his disposal, just randomly handing her an Exploding Star would be enough to obliterate her opponents, not to mention the various unique Magic Treasures. It wouldn't be a problem to take out a few individuals in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The key was how to enter the Blood Pool after ascending to the throne of the Saint Heir and how to rescue the baby. That would be a job requiring finesse.

“The most important thing is to enter the Blood Pool after seizing the position of the Saint Heir.”

Li Xiaobai said.

“Oh?”

“Why is the senior so fixated on the Blood Pool?”

“Is there another mission entrusted by the Sect?”

Meng Qi asked with widened eyes.

“That's right, it is indeed a mission entrusted by the Sect.”

Li Xiaobai spoke with an air of mystery: “This mission was solely assigned to me, but earlier I went near the Blood Pool and was chased away by the guarding disciples. I didn't dare to be too conspicuous as the Blood Pool is specifically for the Sect Disciples to cultivate. As the Blood Demon Sect's Saint Heir, you will have an easier time entering it than me.”

“Elder, please just instruct me, and I will certainly follow through.”

Meng Qi nodded earnestly as she spoke.

“Elder, what could possibly be in the Blood Pool to warrant your personal attendance?”

“Hush, this is currently the highest secret of the Demon Sealing Sect, one virtually unknown except to the Sect Master and a few senior Elders!”

Li Xiaobai made a gesture to silence her, his brow furrowed as he spoke.

“Elder, there's no need to worry, my mouth is completely sealed!”

“Furthermore, my visit to the Blood Demon Sect is precisely to make contributions to our Sect, to thoroughly uproot these degenerates of the Demon Path!”

Meng Qi declared.

“But the venture to the Blood Pool is extremely perilous, I fear for you…”

Li Xiaobai said with a look of hesitation.

“Inside the Blood Pool is a child, taken two days ago by a Saint of the Blood Demon Sect, stolen from the Eastern Continent. This child has significant implications and wide-reaching implications. Should the Blood Demon Sect monopolize it, the consequences are unfathomable, hence I must rescue the child before they make their move!”

“The process could entail facing many Saint Realm powerhouses of the Blood Demon Sect as adversaries, but I fear not. My fervor is dedicated to the cause of justice. I, as a teacher, am to be the light of the righteous path between heaven and earth. My dear disciple, what are your thoughts?”

Li Xiaobai slowly rose to his feet, standing tall with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up into the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his expression solemn.

“Master, your words have reached the depths of your disciple's heart. This life of mine is dedicated to justice. I too want to live like you, Master, and be the light of the righteous path!”

“I am not afraid of any difficulties or dangers, even if it's a sea of flames or a mountain of knives ahead, I will surely rescue that child!”

Meng Qi said, her eyes resolute.

The Blood Demon Sect powerhouses would actually lay hands on a child, which surprised her. Such an act had completely abandoned any semblance of dignity or bottom lines expected of powerhouses. No need to say, as a cultivator of the Demon Sealing Sect, saving people was her inherent duty!

“Very well, you are indeed a worthy son of the Demon Sealing Sect!”

“I am very pleased. Yet as I mentioned earlier, this journey is filled with exceptional peril, and we will often be in opposition to the Saint Realm powerhouses of the Blood Demon Sect. Every action we take must be approached with utmost caution. I suggest that for the coming month, we refrain from sending any hopeful messages to the Demon Sealing Sect, lest they are intercepted by the Blood Demon Sect. We must prioritize security in all things.”

“Once we have truly established a firm footing within the Blood Demon Sect, it will not be too late to contact the outside world then.”

Li Xiaobai struck while the iron was hot.

“Mhm, understood. Master is thoughtful. It is the disciple who has been negligent; even this letter should not be kept and must be destroyed immediately!”

Meng Qi nodded seriously and took out a letter from her bosom, burning it on the spot. Seeing this, Li Xiaobai felt a sense of relief in his heart; he was afraid this young girl would get wind of his ruse by signaling the Demon Sealing Sect.

Now that their contact was severed, he could maneuver and operate freely in the days to come.

“Well done, in two days, I will teach you the sure-win method necessary for becoming the Saint Heir!”
