I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1214: Kidnapped, Clearly Priced Chapter 1213: Chapter 1214: Kidnapped, Clearly Priced The youth in grey couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Initiating with Tian Yuan was a foolish move characteristic of Xiaobai, who had no idea about chess. This game, he was surely going to win. Moreover, enticing his opponent to play was not simply about the chess itself. The blood-red dividing lines on the entire chessboard had transformed from the tentacles of the Heart of the Blood Demon. Once the opponent entered the game, they would be like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape.

But it was at that moment.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed through the void, followed by a complete cessation of all noise within the commotion of spinning skies and lands.

The blood-colored chessboard within the cave dwelling vanished without a trace in an instant, sucked into the small broken bowl.

Meng Qi stepped forward, picked up the bowl, casually extinguished the lamps on this level, and continued forward.

“The three caves and six dwelling places, now I am the first!”

Outside.

The Sect Disciples had already grown numb to the spectacle; it was over as fast as always. No sooner had they started looking forward to the fight than it ended. Is this what they call a clash of the titans?

“This…”

“Even Hundan was defeated? And so decisively at that!”

“How on earth did that girl manage it? She must have used some underhanded method in secret!”

An Elder could not believe his eyes, witnessing the eighth level's light extinguishing so rapidly and decisively, they felt a sense of unreality. Were those really their Sect Disciples participating in the three caves and six dwelling places?

Since when had they become so pathetically weak?

Defeated by a lone young lady in less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea?

“My fellow Elders, how do you find the performance of this disciple of mine? Does she meet your esteemed standards?”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, happily slapping several Elders in the face with his words.

“The Bald Elder's Disciple indeed has quite a knack; to think that one so young would possess such skills. It may not rely solely on her own cultivation level, but the ability to consecutively activate powerful Magic Treasures is also a proof of profound cultivation.”

Xueshenzi said, but didn't utter a word about the so-called wager, not a mention of entering the Blood Pool; Li Xiaobai understood that he couldn't rush this matter and had to wait for the right opportunity.

Atop the mountain, a graceful figure flickered and in a blink, she returned to everyone's presence.

“Master, I have not failed your expectations. I have successfully ascended to the ninth level and emerged as the leader. However, for some reason, there was no one guarding the ninth level, so I took the liberty of coming down first.”

Meng Qi clasped her fists in salute and spoke respectfully.

At this moment, she held even greater awe for Li Xiaobai. To casually possess an ultimate Magic Treasure like the small broken bowl and to also activate it without needing any Immortal Yuan Power, effortlessly, this expert from the Demon Sealing Sect likely had unfathomable strength, far surpassing her expectations.

“Mm, it's good that you're safe.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and turned to Xueshenzi, saying loudly, “Sect Master, since my disciple has emerged as the leader, is she qualified to become the Saint Heir now?”

“Of course, she is.”

“I, the Sect Master, have always abided by the rules. Since Meng Qi has defeated Hundan, ranked second, she should rightfully be promoted to the first ranked Saint Heir. From now on, the title of the first cave of the Blood Demon Sect will be borne by you.”

“However, I must say this beforehand, becoming a Saint Heir doesn't mean that you can rest on your laurels. From here on out, countless disciples will challenge you. If you are killed or ousted from your pedestal, the glory you have earned will merely become a wedding gown for someone else. Diligence in cultivation is the true path.”

The Xueshenzi spoke indifferently, enshrouded in black mist, nonchalant as if Meng Qi's future as a disciple had nothing to do with him.

After speaking his mind, the black mist dissipated without warning, and by the time they looked, the Xueshenzi was nowhere to be seen.

“Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. Your disciple will remember this!”

Meng Qi bowed deeply and spoke with utmost respect toward where the Xueshenzi had vanished.

“May I ask, young friend, where are our Disciples?”

An elderly figure could no longer suppress his impatience and inquired.

“They're all in this bowl.”

Meng Qi held up the small broken bowl with a light smile.

“What is this treasure, and why can't I sense any aura of a Magic Treasure from it?”

“So you're saying that all our Sect Disciples have been suppressed within that bowl?”

The Elders became slightly agitated before speaking in a serious and stern tone, “Do you realize that these individuals are the elite of our Blood Demon Sect? How dare you suppress them? You have some nerve! Release them at once!”

“Do you intend to worsen the strife between us and the Blood Demon lineage?”

As soon as these words were out, the Blood Fiend Elder, who had been laying low hoping to stay out of the fray, had a face as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Why had it suddenly come back to him?

Lately, it seemed that the Blood Demon lineage was particularly prone to being hated, all stirred up by that Bald fellow, and now this young girl was pulling some shady trick too. Having attracted so much attention from various sects, honestly, he felt a little Xiao Fang (cornered).

“Fellow Elders, please don't be hasty. The Brothers from the three caves and six dwelling places and I hail from the same sect, so naturally, I won't harm them. However, I did not expect that not one among the eight Saint Heirs would be a match for me – quite disappointing!”

“Just today, these individuals were effortlessly suppressed by me, but just releasing them doesn't seem right. How about you Elders prepare the ransom for your disciples? Bring it to the mountain range of the Blood Demon lineage within two hours, and I will be there waiting for your dignified arrival!”

Meng Qi clasped her fists and said with a smile, this speech pattern had been instructed to her by Li Xiaobai, to use these Saint Heirs as bargaining chips for dealing with the Elders.

“You!”

“As disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, such behavior is disgraceful! Do you have no regard for us, the Elders of the various sect branches?”

The Elders became furious, outraged that the young girl would brazenly extort them in public. Since their time in the Blood Demon Sect, they had never suffered such humiliation, and now a junior had them by the throat.

“We are all from the Blood Demon Sect. What's with the act? The law of the survival of the fittest is the creed of our Sect. You have two hours. If they are still in my disciple's possession after two hours, gather ten million top-grade Immortal Stones and come to collect them. If the time passes, I can only assume that you do not wish to redeem your own disciples and will have to sell them off to someone else.”

Li Xiaobai spoke coldly.

“Let's go!”

With those words, a golden chariot materialized beneath him, whisking him and Meng Qi away leisurely, leaving behind a bunch of cultivators, dazed and disheveled by the wind.

What had they just witnessed?

The newly appointed Saint Heir had directly kidnapped eight Saint Heirs and was now openly extorting the Elders with a clear price tag. How much did they underestimate the might of Saint Realm experts?

Was this new Bald powerhouse truly this bold?
