I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1210: Trial of the Three Caves and Six Mansions Chapter 1209: Chapter 1210: Trial of the Three Caves and Six Mansions The Blood Fiend Elder was utterly baffled inside. He came with good intentions to give a reminder, yet it backfired and got himself involved instead.

A disciple at the Heavenly Immortal Realm actually demanding two Magic Treasures of the Saint Realm level? And you said it so casually? That's some audacious wishful thinking!

The journey was silent, and with the Blood Demon Sect's power of “Stellar Shift”, it took merely a breath for the two to appear atop another mountain.

The moving speed of a Saint Realm powerhouse is too fast; Li Xiaobai couldn't even see which direction the Blood Fiend Elder moved in–it was like they teleported in the blink of an eye.

Looking around, it was a very oddly shaped mountain peak, with a huge flatland at the foot of the mountain. The entire mountain was like a Buddhist Pagoda, with each layer having a cave residence and a small window. In total, there were nine levels–this was the Three Caves and Six Mansions, where the Saint Heirs of the sect usually resided.

At this moment, numerous cultivators gathered on the flatland at the foot of the mountain. The Sect Master and all the Great Elders had arrived, along with many outstanding inner and outer Disciples. They all wanted to witness the spectacle of Meng Qi making her attempt at the Three Caves and Six Mansions today, to see if she could successfully advance to become the new Saint Heir.

“Bald Elder is here!”

“Is that the Bald Elder? He really is bald. Don't judge a book by its cover, indeed!”

“It was said that this newly promoted Elder held his own against the Blood Fiend Elder and the Joyous Union Elder without falling behind a few days ago. His power is unfathomable. Today, Meng Qi, who is challenging the Three Caves and Six Mansions, has taken him as her mentor!”

“With the guidance of this Elder, even if Sister Meng Qi fails to advance to the Saint Heir position today, she will surely claim a spot in the future!”

“It goes without saying. But speaking of which, not only does this Bald Qiang Elder look fierce, but he also has a resolute appearance, possessing a face that seems destined to rule the world. Truly befits a Demon Path bigshot–providence indeed graces him!”

Upon the arrival of Li Xiaobai, the surrounding cultivators whispered to each other, their words filled with respect.

“Mentor!”

Meng Qi teleported next to Li Xiaobai. To be honest, she felt a bit uneasy in her heart because, up to now, Li Xiaobai had not taught her the assured way to victory. She was unclear about the situation and if she had to compete without understanding, she wouldn't even know if she could defeat the lowest mansion.

“Hmm, don't panic. Since your mentor has come, today's position of Saint Heir must belong to you.”

Li Xiaobai spoke nonchalantly with his hands behind his back.

“Oh?”

“You sure take it easy, Bald Elder. For a disciple who's only been in the sect for three days to dream of defeating a Saint Heir is indeed like an idiot talking in their sleep.”

A woman wearing a fox mask, known as the Joyous Union Elder, spoke mockingly. One of the disciples inside the Three Caves and Six Mansions was hers, and she had made herself clear–if Meng Qi dared to challenge them, they were to kill her!

This bald guy must pay the price for everything he has done; taking this cheap disciple is just collecting interest.

“Of course, the means at my disposal are beyond your imagination, aren't they?”

Li Xiaobai looked scornful, angering Joyous Union so much that her body trembled.

“You're looking down on our Blood Demon Sect's geniuses too much. Our sect stands at the pinnacle of the Central Origin Realm. Our Disciples are the cream of the crop. Having been in the sect for just three days and already talking big about defeating our Saint Heir is frankly a bit nonsensical. If you end up getting slapped in the face, Bald Elder, you'll lose all your dignity.”

An older Elder spoke with a cold expression. This bald guy had been making enemies since he joined the sect, so now the other Elders regarded him with deep hostility.

“It seems Bald benefactor is quite confident, and as the Sect Master, I look forward to today's battle result.”

Xueshenzi spoke with his hands behind his back, still covered in black mist, to maintain his mysterious and impenetrable look.

“Of course, my disciple will never fall behind others. The mere position of Saint Heir is within easy reach.”

Li Xiaobai was bragging while his eyeballs rolled around, scanning the surrounding Sect Disciples, trying to spot the Masked Fighter who stole the baby. Unfortunately, he found no trace. Maybe because they had been practicing demonic skills for many years, most of the cultivators in the Blood Demon Sect were thin. The few with strong builds were young and had shallow cultivation levels, none of them were Saint Realm experts.

It seemed the Masked Fighter was hidden deeper within the sect and did not show their face often, at least not among the visible Elders.

“Alright, since that's the case, let's not delay any further. Meng Qi, the Sect Master grants you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to prepare and recuperate. After the tea ceremony, you may enter the Three Caves and Six Mansions to take the trial. For each person you defeat, you can advance one level until you are defeated and your final ranking is determined.”

“If you are vanquished on the first level, then you will have no connection with the position of Saint Heir of our Blood Demon Sect today.”

Xueshenzi looked at Meng Qi with an indifferent expression and said.

“Yes, I obey!”

Meng Qi bowed in salute, not daring to take this lightly.

Li Xiaobai took her aside and began whispering secretly.

“My dear disciple, your master will now impart to you the method for certain victory.”

Li Xiaobai turned over his wrist and shoved a small broken bowl into her hands.

“Take good care of this treasure, it will help you reach the pinnacle!”

“Just this?”

“A bowl?”

Meng Qi looked at the small broken bowl in her hands, her eyes full of confusion. She could not feel a trace of Immortal Yuan Energy from the bowl; it seemed like nothing more than an ordinary, filthy bowl that might be mistaken for something a begging vagrant would use.

“Do not underestimate it, this is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. With it, within the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you will be invincible.”

“Lean in, let your master pass on a few secret phrases.”

Li Xiaobai said with a mysterious air.

The crowd looked at the eccentric behavior of this master and disciple duo, their eyes filled with confusion. It seemed that this bald fellow had not given any guidance to the girl before now, and was suddenly providing instructions as a last-minute effort.

He Lian and the others scoffed at this. Can a last-minute magic treasure really secure victory?

Sometimes, a magic treasure isn't omnipotent. If a powerful Magic Treasure is given, Meng Qi, being in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, might not even be able to use it. If the Magic Treasure provided does not exceed the limitations of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, she will not be able to win by relying on it.

After all, speaking of Magic Treasures, how could the group of Saint Heirs, the talents of the Blood Demon Sect, possibly be short of them?

A few minutes later.

Li Xiaobai patted Meng Qi's shoulder: “Go, the decision is yours!”

“Remember the teachings of your master, beat those small fry!”

Meng Qi nodded: “Yes!”

“Bald fellow, stop all this trickery. If a single Magic Treasure could bridge a gap vast as a heavenly chasm, our Blood Demon Sect would not be in the position of the leader of the Demon Path today. Elder advises you it's better to have your precious disciple concede proactively, to avoid risking their life.”

“The Saint Heir who guards the first level is my disciple, and nobody understands his strength better than I do.”

An Elder said coldly with furrowed brows.

“Just watch, within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, my disciple will reach the top. If you don't believe it, why not make a wager with me?”

Li Xiaobai said.

“What's the wager?”

“How about the chance for your precious disciple to enter the Blood Pool?”
