Chapter 1218: Chapter 1219: Meeting Sky Blade Song Que Again! Chapter 1218: Chapter 1219: Meeting Sky Blade Song Que Again! “As a cultivator, to actually have the face to attack a child, truly a disgrace among us cultivators!”
“I despise associating with such cultivators, these people are simply beasts, parasites, bastards, they shouldn't even exist on this world. Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely find out the whereabouts of that child and grind the assailant into dust!”
Li Xiaobai said angrily, his eyes full of fierceness, and his killing intent soaring to the skies.
Xueshenzi had no particular reaction, still sitting in his original position, but his heart was not at ease. The Bald Elder's words were flawless, but the problem was, it was he who fabricated that the Villian's Guild attacked the child, when in reality, it was his own Blood Demon Sect who did it. He always felt the other side was accusing by analogy, ostensibly condemning the Villian's Guild, but in fact, he was scolding him, Xueshenzi.
“Cough cough, Bald Elder, no need to be agitated, let's sit down and talk calmly.”
Xueshenzi waved his hand, signaling Li Xiaobai to calm down.
“There's nothing good to talk about, Sect Master, give me a written order, and I will gather the troops and attack the Villain's Guild!”
Li Xiaobai said aggressively, seizing the opportunity.
“Bald Elder misunderstood, it's not about confronting them head-on, but to employ indirect tactics, to probe their true intentions subtly, find out their base, and then plan for the long term. This is a meticulous task, hence only you alone must go. Of course, I will be guarding you from the shadows.”
Xueshenzi said with a smile.
“That would be a bit difficult, going alone into the enemy camp is like hitting a stone with an egg. But lately, I have been cultivating the Heart of the Blood Demon, if successful, catching a mere Li Xiaobai won't be a problem!”
Li Xiaobai said with some difficulty on his face.
“Bald Elder, don't be nervous, that Li Xiaobai's cultivation level isn't as formidable as you imagine, it's said that he is just a follower from the Earth Spirit Realm, ascending step by step.”
Xueshenzi said.
Li Xiaobai's brows relaxed: “It seems, Sect Master, you have done a very thorough investigation on this person?”
“Actually, I had the fate of meeting this person decades ago, amidst dim lights, it was but a fleeting glimpse, yet it feels like just yesterday.”
“One in the light, the other in the dark?”
“Yes, and to be honest, I found some similarities in you, which is one of the reasons I summoned you here, though I didn't expect that you would know nothing about him. It seems I was overthinking.”
Xueshenzi said.
“Oh?”
“Could it be that this Li Xiaobai looks exactly like me?”
“Could we really look that alike?”
Li Xiaobai laughed, feeling completely relieved upon hearing this. These words from Xueshenzi revealed two problems, the first being that he hadn't seen Li Xiaobai's true face and did not have absolute confidence that he was Li Xiaobai.
The second, the Blood Demon Sect's Sect Master misjudged his strength, believing the rumors that the Villian's Guild's Gang Leader Li Xiaobai was a Saint Realm powerhouse, disguising as a disciple and walking the earth with grand ambitions, thus acting so cautiously.
“Like, very like, just that there's one point you differ.”
“Could it be my unduplicable handsome face?”
Li Xiaobai touched his own face, saying with a smile, the Human Skin Mask fitted perfectly without any flaws.
“No, compared to him, you don't play the fool.”
Xueshenzi said.
“Spot on!”
“Sect Master, since the moment I was born, the fortune teller pointed at my mother's stomach and said that this child will definitely not play the fool when born. Sect Master has discerning eyes, I'm impressed!”
Li Xiaobai cupped his fists and bowed, his expression solemn.
“Among the crowd, I noticed you at first glance. You do not pretend or put on airs, and your nature is suited for great tasks. Complete this task for me, and I will allow you to cultivate in the Blood Pool.”
Xueshenzi spoke.
“Since we've come to this point, I won't hide it from you. In recent days, I have mastered the cultivation method of the Heart of the Blood Demon and have just started. Now I am in need of a great amount of Blood Qi to solidify my foundation, and I have no time for distractions. If the Sect Master is willing to lend me the use of the Blood Pool, I am prepared to risk my life and shed my blood!”
Li Xiaobai's face was determined as if he had made a great decision.
“Not possible, first complete the task, then receive the reward; that's the rule.”
Xueshenzi shook his head and said.
“You think you can freeload off me?”
“Just moving your lips and you want me to risk my life?”
Li Xiaobai leaned back in his chair, his demeanor lazy, with a dangerous glint in his eyes that suggested he could erupt into violence at any moment.
“What freeload? We're all family here, why say such divisive things.”
“The food and drink are ready; how about sampling the culinary skills of our Blood Demon Sect before deciding?” Xueshenzi laughed, clapping his hands loudly.
“Good, I'll see what kinds of treasures the Sect Master's delicacies really are.”
“Come, serve the dishes!”
The door in the corner creaked open, and a figure walked in, with eighteen large trays floating in front of him.
This was an old man, with white hair and both arms missing, controlling the trays in mid-air with the power of Immortal Yuan.
“Song Que, what are you waiting for? Serve the dishes quickly, don't keep our guests waiting, or you'll answer for it!”
Seeing the old man, Xueshenzi shouted sternly.
But at that shout, Li Xiaobai jolted; had he heard wrong? Song Que? Was it the Song Que he knew?
He was tempted to turn his head and look directly at the person, but he forcefully withheld, knowing that this was likely another trick by Xueshenzi. At this moment, the other party was watching him closely, and any slight inappropriate action or slip would reveal him.
Despite his intense curiosity, he dared not show any unusual behavior and acted as usual.
“Yes!”
A hoarse voice came from the old man, and the eighteen trays arranged themselves neatly before Li Xiaobai and Xueshenzi.
“Bald Elder, look, this person is someone I met in the Southern Continent who had some interaction with Li Xiaobai. Unfortunately, now his arms are completely severed, and he has been reduced to serving as my slave, benefiting only from his association with the Villian's Guild, otherwise, he'd still be eating dirt in the mines!”
Xueshenzi pointed to the shadow beside Li Xiaobai, speaking cheerfully and casually.
Li Xiaobai casually turned his head, his face showing curiosity and amusement as he looked at the man, but he immediately got goosebumps.
The old man serving the dishes was none other than Sky Blade Song Que from the Immortal Spirit Continent.
It really was him; this old man had actually come to the Blood Demon Sect!
That one-armed old man was previously severed by cultivators crossing realms, and all his arms had been valiantly sacrificed. In search of an opportunity to become stronger and make a breakthrough, he had come to the Central Origin Realm on his own, unheard from ever since, and unexpectedly, he had joined the Blood Demon Sect and was now under Xueshenzi's command.
But he knew, encountering an old acquaintance here was not just a coincidence; it was also part of Xueshenzi's test, and he must not be careless.
He immediately retracted his gaze and spoke contemptuously, “I never thought the Blood Demon Sect had become so desperate that any random cat or dog could enter the Sect Master's lineage.”
