I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1217

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1218 I Scold Myself Chapter 1217: Chapter 1218 I Scold Myself “Villian's Guild?”

“Li Xiaobai?”

“What is that?”

Li Xiaobai asked, full of confusion, yet his heart skipped a beat. The other party had begun to suspect his identity and even associated it with Li Xiaobai.

However, it was somewhat reasonable. After all, they had just snatched the milk baby, and then he, posing as a mighty deity, showed up on their doorstep, making the timing a bit too coincidental. In the past few days, Xueshenzi had carefully investigated all the experts in the Central Origin Realm and found that the name Bald Qiang was a fake.

“Hehe, this is an evil force that has recently emerged, initially merely a gathering of outstanding talents, but recently, this guild has revealed its towering presence and shown its substantial foundation, which is truly shocking!”

Xueshenzi said with a smile, the black mist shrouding his body quivering twice.

“And who is this Li Xiaobai, and what does he have to do with this humble one?”

Li Xiaobai continued to ask.

“Don't be hasty, let me tell you all about it. Any genius picked out from the Villian's Guild possesses the strength of a Saint Heir from the Blood Demon Sect, and Lin Yin, the former number one among the three caves and six courts of our Blood Demon Sect, defected because he joined this Villian's Guild. And such cases have also occurred in several other Super Sects.”

“I have received accurate and reliable information that within this guild, there are a million followers and as many as five thousand talents with the cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, several hundred Half-Saint Strong Experts, and so far, three Saint Realm powerhouses have appeared, one of whom is a terrifying Demonic Beast never seen before by the world, reflecting the profound depth of their foundation. And the Gang Leader of this formidable Villian's Guild is none other than a cultivator by the name of Li Xiaobai.”

“This guild emerged out of nowhere, made a grand display of power on Ice Dragon Island through slaughter and plunder, and then swiftly faded away, leaving no trace. Has Bald Elder ever heard of this incident?”

Xueshenzi asked languidly, and while most of what he said was accurate, he directly pinned all the blame for the Ice Dragon Island incident on the Villian's Guild.

This fleeting, mysterious force was perfect for casting blame and diverting attention.

“As for the matter of Ice Dragon Island, how would this humble one know? I have been in seclusion all this time and only recently ventured out into the world. I have no interest in such idle gossip. It's just a new power, nothing worth paying attention to. It seems to me that you, as a Sect Master, are too meddling. New sects are established every moment in the Central Origin Realm; what's it to us? Just mind our own business!”

Li Xiaobai spoke bluntly, mocking, trying to bluster his way out, but the tactic was clearly ineffective. Xueshenzi had set his sights on him, and if he couldn't conclude his true identity today, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this place.

“You are mistaken. I must confess, the Villian's Guild has become a significant problem and now poses a danger to the Blood Demon Sect. A thorn in my side has developed, and if it is not eradicated promptly, it could become a grave threat to our sect.”

Xueshenzi shook his head as he spoke.

“You invited me here; surely you don't intend to employ my hand to eliminate this Li Xiaobai, do you?”

Li Xiaobai frowned and asked in a deep voice.

“Indeed, the well-known experts of the Blood Demon Sect are known to the outside world, but you are different. You have just joined the Blood Demon Sect, and no one knows your true identity. All the Sect needs you to do is to locate the den of the Villian's Guild; the rest will be handled by the Blood Demon Sect.”

Xueshenzi spoke leisurely. Through the black mist, Li Xiaobai could not see the other's face, but he could vaguely feel that the other's gaze was fixed on him.

“This humble one is not here to be a hired thug, and as the saying goes, 'every mission must be justified.' I never engage in nameless ventures!”

Li Xiaobai said calmly, his tone showing discontent.

“Well said, indeed, we must have a justifiable reason. Whatever you see in this courtyard that takes your fancy, feel free to choose it as a retainer for hiring you.”

Xueshenzi made a grand gesture with his hand, speaking very generously.

“I am an Elder, not a bandit. If you ask me to do something, you should at least tell me the basics about Li Xiaobai, shouldn't you?”

said Li Xiaobai.

“That's exactly what I want you to do. During the battle at Ice Dragon Island, Li Xiaobai never appeared from beginning to end. I've had people search for information about him, but apart from a fragmented warrant from Buddha Country, it seems he hasn't done anything significant. I suspect that he's disguised as a young disciple wandering the world, widely recruiting disciples, but in reality, he could be an old monster with unfathomable cultivation level!”

Within the black mist, two scarlet pupils could be seen, the eyes of Xueshenzi, staring intently at Li Xiaobai, attempting to detect any slip on his face.

“Heh heh, who doesn't know you're the big boss in the Blood Demon Sect, and there's nothing you can't handle. Finding Li Xiaobai would be a piece of cake for you, Sect Master. Isn't it superfluous to have me make a move?”

Li Xiaobai laughed heartily.

“No no no, being the boss often means nothing but an empty title. Every day I open my eyes, millions rely on me even for their daily routines, how much of that can actually fall to my lot?

“The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. As the leader of the Demon Path, I've long been so pressured that I can hardly move. Every single action of mine is scrutinized by countless watchful eyes, like treading on thin ice. Being Sect Master is nothing more than an empty name, an empty shell.”

Xueshenzi spoke with a sense of gloom and dejection, as if what he said was indeed the case.

Typical capitalist talk, Li Xiaobai thought with endless criticism in his heart; if he believed that, he would have been living in vain in the Cultivation World.

“If that's the case, Sect Master is truly a sentimental person, a commendable leader wholeheartedly serving his disciples!”

Li Xiaobai gave a bow with his hands clasped, showing his respect.

“It is my duty, I dare not slack off for a moment, I am not a commendable leader, you flatter me too much.”

Xueshenzi waved his hand.

“Sect Master, you're suddenly mentioning Li Xiaobai, could it be that he's right now in the Southern Continent?”

Li Xiaobai shifted the topic, probing, unsure if Xueshenzi truly had any certainty about his real identity.

“He is, yet he is not.”

“Sect Master, your words sound quite cryptic!”

“So where is this young man right now? If what you said earlier is true, the Villain's Guild's territory isn't small, is it?”

Li Xiaobai spoke with a smile.

“This person controls key junctions across the Eastern Continent and around the Southern Continent, and each of his disciples is an elite; even strong experts from the Saint Realm are willing to work for him wholeheartedly. Some time ago, strong cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect discovered the Villain's Guild kidnapping children, and out of a sense of righteousness saved those teenagers from danger. Surely that will provoke speculative retaliation from Li Xiaobai. I want you to investigate his whereabouts and find him to prevent any mishap!”

“Tell me, if we don't undertake such acts of justice, who will?”

Xueshenzi said.

“Damn!”

“Motherfucker, this is outrageous, actually kidnapping children; this Li Xiaobai guy is simply inhuman. The thing I can't stand the most in my life is sand in my eyes. Rest assured, Sect Master, within three days, I will behead that kid and present his head to you!”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaobai was immediately furious and slammed the table as he stood up and shouted angrily!
