I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1214

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1215: 80,000,000 credited Chapter 1214: Chapter 1215: 80,000,000 credited Two hours later.

In the grand hall of the Blood Demon Mountain Range, Li Xiaobai was seated at the high seat of honor, with the Blood Fiend Elder and Meng Qi standing on either side of him, left and right. The hall was packed with people, and a delegation of eight elders stood at the forefront of the assembly, their eyes filled with infuriation.

Meng Qi was purely there for the entertainment, feeling very secure with Li Xiaobai in charge. On the other hand, the situation was causing the Blood Fiend Elder's heart to bleed.

It should be understood that he was the Core Elder of the Blood Demon Sect, and the central seat in the grand hall should have been his to take. Yet this Bald Qiang had the audacity to plop down on it directly, and what's worse, the Blood Fiend Elder didn't dare to challenge him to stand up. Firstly, it was due to the gap in strength, and secondly, taking that seat meant bearing the wrath of many Saint Realm powerhouses within the Sect, which would push the Blood Demon Sect into the eye of the storm, a position his heart was not brave enough to assume.

The Blood Fiend Elder was feeling quite uncomfortable, constantly getting the impression that it wasn't him manipulating and controlling this new Elder, but rather the other way around, as if the other party was plotting to usurp his place.

If things continued this way, would the Sect's elders only recognize Bald Qiang and not him anymore?

“Bald Qiang, this is the Blood Demon Sect, you and I are both Elders of the Blood Demon Sect. What can't we discuss properly? Why must you stir up such a commotion to this extent?”

“Isn't it just because your disciple needs an opportunity to enter the Blood Pool? For us, this is not a difficult matter. The opportunity to utilize the Blood Pool can be exchanged with Sect Contribution Points. Each hour in the Blood Pool requires a payment of ten thousand Contribution Points. I am willing to grant you ten thousand as a gift. For a disciple entering the Blood Pool for the first time, two hours is more than enough.”

The leading elder negotiated with Li Xiaobai, his frame withered, eyes sunken, and devoid of any liveliness or spirit; bleak and shadowy.

The surrounding elders and cultivators held him in high esteem. They had no intention of handing over the Immortal Stone Resources obediently. With so many elders present here, they didn't believe they couldn't suppress one young man!

“Presumably the esteemed elders have not yet thought things through, so I'll remind you that an hour is about to pass, look at this incense candle. If it burns out, your precious disciples… I might just sell them to another Sect.”

“Over the years, there must have been many reputable Sects that Blood Demon Sect has wronged. I believe they would be very willing to take them in. I recall that the Demon Sealing Sect, also a Super Sect from the Southern Continent, seems very interested in your disciples.”

Li Xiaobai casually pointed to the incense candle that was burning slowly, speaking in an indifferent tone.

He was not panicking at all. These old men showing up here meant that they were definitely prepared with adequate funds and ready to ransom people. He had no intention of following their rhythm. What is face worth? There's no money to be made as fast as kidnapping and ransom.

Besides, in a couple of days he would get his hands on the baby and make an escape; he was not prepared to stay in the Blood Demon Sect for the long term, so let the Blood Fiend Elder carry any potential black pots.

“Bald Qiang, don't be so presumptuous. This is a Core Elder of the Shadow Demon Lineage, the Shadow Assassin Dan Dao, a venerable figure in the Central Origin Realm. His visit is already giving you enough face. It's time to wrap things up; don't get ahead of yourself, young man!”

Huahua scolded furiously, the fox mask on her face seemingly twisted, as if she too was angry, fierce and sinister.

“If that's the case, then there's nothing left to discuss. You may leave. I'll sell them to Demon Sealing Sect for twenty million per Saint Heir. I'm sure they'll take them all and take good care of your Saint Heirs.”

Li Xiaobai's expression darkened as he spoke coldly. He could not care less about any Dan Dao; with Fifty-Fifty behind him, he was full of confidence.

“Fine, a new figure has emerged in the Central Origin Realm. Pay up and ransom your people!”

Dan Dao waved disinterestedly.

A elder walked out of the crowd, carrying a tray with eight Space Rings on it, and presented them reverently in front of Li Xiaobai.

“Here are eighty million top-grade Immortal Stones, just as previously agreed. Can we go ahead and release them now?”

Dan Dao said coldly. His disciple was one of the esteemed ones within the Shadow Demon Lineage, ranked second among the Saint Heirs even after being defeated by Meng Qi. The inheritance and future of his lineage were at stake, and not to be taken lightly.

“That will do. You're all straightforward people, I admire that.”

“Good disciple, release them!”

Li Xiaobai received the top-grade Immortal Stones with an beaming smile. With eighty million top-grade Immortal Stones to his account, he made almost a small fortune, feeling utterly delighted.

“As you command!”

Meng Qi flipped her wrist, took out the small broken bowl, and tossed it towards the group of elders. Brilliant white light flickered, and eight exceptional individuals collapsed on the ground, all looking bewildered.

“My disciple!”

“Dan!”

“Are you all right?”

“How did this little lady defeat you, and why did you get suppressed without even holding on for a breath's time?”

“Do you know how painful that is for your master? Our lineage's reputation in the Sect is completely tarnished!”

Seeing their disciples unharmed, each elder was furious. There was a mix of comforting and cursing — it turned out that their disciples had been suppressed without even fighting, making them worry for nothing, fearing they might have met some dire fate.

“Usually you all strut around so arrogantly, so how come you all look so pathetic today? You've brought disgrace upon your family!”

“Once we return, face the wall and reflect on your actions in seclusion!”

The more the elders thought about it, the angrier they became. Wasting ten million top-grade Immortal Stones just like that, they felt like bleeding inside.

“What…”

“Where is this…”

“It seems we were in the midst of the trials for the Three Halls and Six Mansions, did we lose?”

The Sanit Heirs were still in a state of confusion. After Meng Qi threw a bowl, their consciousness vanished, and when the light returned they found themselves in a totally unfamiliar place, with their teachers and elders standing by, feeling like they were dreaming.

“Alright, it's good that no one was harmed. Ten million for the safety of your disciples is a favourable deal. It's been a pleasure doing business with you, and you're welcome to come again.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand, saying happily.

“There will be no next time.”

Dan Dao said softly, turned around, and walked out. Li Xiaobai did not see the cold smile curling at the corner of Dan Dao's mouth. He had yet to say his final thought: that this bald fellow wouldn't survive till 'next time'.

As the elders led their disciples out of the grand hall, at the same time, a pitch-black shadow had, at some unknown point, blended into a dead angle in the shadows of the hall, rapidly moving towards Li Xiaobai's back.

Then, a gray shadowy blade suddenly shot out from the wall, aimed straight at Li Xiaobai's head.

“Damn, Bald Brother be careful, this is one of the Divine Skills of the Shadow Demon clan!”
