Chapter 1215: Chapter 1216: Inexplicably United Chapter 1215: Chapter 1216: Inexplicably United Blood Demon didn't need to remind Li Xiaobai, as he had already felt an unusual sense of crisis, more dangerous than any of the encounters with a cultivator of the Saint Realm he had faced before. Even without seeing what was behind him, his body tensed up, and a bone-chilling cold spread throughout his body.
This feeling was peculiar, as if a piece of millennium-old ice was suddenly inserted into his body, the chilling air swept across him uncontrollably, inducing tremors, but it wasn't actual coldness, rather it was intense killing intent.
“Fifty-Fifty!”
Without any hesitation, he activated the System skill, and his right hand uncontrollably struck out at an odd angle behind him. The terrifying Immortal Yuan Power burst forth, colliding fiercely with the grey giant blade that came from behind.
[Attribute Points +100 million…]
The numerical value on the System panel jumped, increasing directly by a hundred million.
Without a doubt, the grey giant blade was left by that Shadow Assassin Dan Dao moments ago. His purpose was to collect some interest from him. If it were someone else here, even if they could save their lives, they definitely couldn't look after Meng Qi at the same time. Only because he possessed the divine System skill was he able to perfectly nullify the damage.
“What a venomous heart, such ruthless methods!”
Li Xiaobai was furious. The Fifty-Fifty skill had neutralized the grey giant blade, returning everything to calm within the hall.
“Damn, that old guy Dan Dao actually disregarded all faces, daring to make a move inside the great hall of our Blood Demon lineage!”
Blood Demon was also infuriated. To make a move on his turf was simply an affront, not putting him in the eyes at all. His worries were not unfounded. With the baldy stirring up all sorts of troubles, it seemed that the strong ones within the sect no longer took him, Blood Demon, seriously!
“Another formidable enemy, I need to wrap up the important matters and make a run for it.”
A solemn light flickered in Li Xiaobai's eyes. The enmity he had incurred was far too great. If he continued to stay, his life might be in danger. He only had one chance to use the Fifty-Fifty skill each day, which would refresh automatically after midnight, unable to withstand so many powerful foes. One careless move revealing a weakness, he was afraid it would lead to an unsightly death.
At the same time.
Outside.
After leaving Shadow Demon Lineage territory, all the Elders were irritated and enraged, clamoring to bring that bald guy to justice.
“That damnable fellow actually dared to openly extort us; we cannot tolerate this. We must find a way to deal with him!”
“Exactly, he's just a Saint Realm cultivator who has just joined the sect, even if he has ignited two Divine Fires, what of it? Can he really compare to our deep-rooted power?”
“Additionally, with Elder Dan Dao here, killing him would merely take a moment!”
The group of Elders spoke angrily, unwilling to let the matter rest after losing ten million top-quality Immortal Stones so unreasonably.
“Shut up!”
“What do you know, just now this old man has already crossed hands with that baldie. His strength and cultivation level are, I fear, not below mine!”
“We need to think this through carefully. However, with such a powerful figure emerging so abruptly, there's no way he cannot be traced. Send someone to find out where this guy was before he joined the Blood Demon Sect, and make sure he pays the price!”
Dan Dao barked sternly. Just then, he had felt his own shadow essence being wiped out in an instant, meaning that the opponent's power was not to be underestimated, and might even be above that of Blood Demon.
“Ah, this…”
“Understood!”
“Yes!”
The Elders looked at each other in dismay. Shadow Assassin Dan Dao was a senior among them, having become famous long before they reached the Saint Realm. If even he gave such a high evaluation, then the strength of that guy named Bald Qiang was probably unfathomable!
Another side.
Within the hall, a piece of letter flew in at the moment when the grey shadow collapsed.
It read: “Kindly pay a visit to Heavenly Demon Peak for a chat.”
The signature was Xueshenzi.
The brush strokes were firm and powerful, carrying an aura of bloodlust; there was no doubt, it came from the hand of Xueshenzi.
Li Xiaobai gritted his teeth with annoyance, the other party must have known about Dan Dao's strike against him, deliberately waiting until the outcome had been decided before letting the letter fly in. If he had been directly killed or seriously injured just now, would this letter have made its way back to its origin?
“Blood Fiend Elder, what do you make of this?”
Li Xiaobai looked toward the Blood Fiend Elder and asked.
“This is an edict from the Sect Master. Every cultivator who joins the sect at the Saint Realm level will be invited to a conversation. The purpose is to probe the reasons for our staying within the sect. If one's motives are impure, one will not be heavily relied upon.”
The Blood Fiend Elder said dryly, seemingly undisturbed by the letter, but he was, in fact, mired in depression. After the disturbance caused by Li Xiaobai, his Blood Demon Lineage feared it would be isolated by the other lineages.
“So that's how it is. Why aren't you in higher spirits, Elder brother Blood Demon? Just now, we gave a harsh lesson to those high-ups of the Blood Demon Sect. We won. Be happy.”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile, not a trace of sympathy for the Blood Fiend Elder–he was the one who harbored ill intentions and tried to forcibly pull him into the ranks of the Blood Demon Lineage and even wanted to keep him under house arrest. Originally, it would have been fine for him to simply act as a guide so that everyone could coexist peacefully. He can't be blamed for the current situation.
“I…”
“I just never expected Brother Bald to be so brave; it was just a momentary touch of heartfelt admiration, Brother Bald truly is the hero of our times!”
The Blood Fiend Elder halted, then gave some perfunctory response with a hint of gloom. He realized that this bald man in front of him had a reckless nature and did not reflect on his actions at all.
Thanks to this bald man, these law-based lineages, which rarely interacted, have united to exert pressure together. And in this small group composed of top Saint Realm experts, his Blood Demon Lineage was not included. They are not playing with him anymore!
“Blood Demon brother is too kind.”
Li Xiaobai took out a small token; it belonged to Aguda, with an inscription that read: “Contribution Points: Fifty Thousand!”
He had pilfered it from the other party and it could just be used to enter the Blood Pool for a thorough exploration.
“My good disciple, this token is for you. Enter the Blood Pool and cultivate well, do not waste your time.”
“As for me, I need to attend an important feast. Next time I will find an opportunity to enter the Blood Pool. The occasion is rare; you must seize it.”
Li Xiaobai winked at Meng Qi, uttering words that only the two of them could understand.
“Thank you, Master!”
“Master, rest assured, your disciple will not let you down!”
Meng Qi was visibly excited, not because she could cultivate in the Blood Pool, but because the Sect Master of the Demon Sealing Sect actually trusted her so much. He was comfortable letting her go alone to the Blood Pool to search for the child. This was the first task her Master had given her, and she absolutely could not mess it up!
“However, in your cultivation, you must maintain your original heart. This is your first time entering the Blood Pool. If you cannot sustain it, look for chances to exit; do not force yourself.”
“Master, your disciple understands!”
“Good, your Master is off!”
After sending off Meng Qi, Li Xiaobai also turned around and headed in the direction of the Sect Master Hall. Xueshenzi's summon was to test his true identity. If he passed the test successfully, his movements within the sect would become even more unrestrained in the future.
