I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1226

Chapter 1226: Chapter 127: The True and False Blood Fiend Elder Chapter 1226: Chapter 127: The True and False Blood Fiend Elder “Take care, sir, our lack of care has alarmed you!”

A group of disciples parted to both sides, providing a pathway, fear apparent in their eyes.

They had actually allowed a person who spoke disrespectfully to a Saint Realm powerhouse to enter the Blood Pool. With the Core Elder humiliated, they wouldn't have grounds to object if they were to be punished as well.

“Hmph, know your place, dispose of the corpse yourselves. I will explain to the Sect Master!”

Li Xiaobai snorted coldly and strode away, leaving the crowd to exchange relieved glances since they had not been punished.

“Let's go, take a look inside!”

A few moments later, the guarding disciples prepared to enter the Blood Pool. It was at this time that an overwhelming Blood Qi surged from within the Blood Pool, amassing into a gigantic blood-red skull above in the void, roaring madly: “All Elders of the Blood Demon Sect, capture the traitor, Bald Qiang!”

“The gates are to be tightly shut; no cultivators may enter or leave!”

A blood-colored figure burst forth from the Blood Pool, soaring to the heavens wrapped in supreme majesty, intimidating the very fabric of the world.

“It's the Sect Master!”

“When did the Sect Master enter?”

“The Sect Master is after Bald Elder; just now, Bald Elder was deceiving us. Oh no, we let him escape!”

A wave of shock ran through the disciples; they had been deceived.

“Where is he?”

The blood-colored skull transformed into a blood shadow, arriving in front of the disciples and asked coldly.

“He… he left…”

The guarding disciple stammered.

“Soul Search!”

A demonic claw extended from within the bloody figure, grabbing the forehead of the lead disciple, searching for the information he needed.

“What a waste, you were fooled by such a simple lie!”

Upon realizing that Li Xiaobai had walked out so easily with just a few words, Xueshenzi flew into a rage. He intensified the force in his hand, crushing the guarding disciples into a river of blood and Qi that poured into the Blood Pool.

“To think he stole the Divine Passage from the Blood Pool, this man is no ordinary being; but as long as he is within the Blood Demon Sect, do not dream of escaping from Five Finger Mountain!”

“Blood Demon True Resolution!”

The blood shadow thunderously yelled, and blood Qi swept across in all directions. Instantly, the entirety of the Blood Demon Sect was engulfed in a layer of blood mist.

Almost simultaneously, upon hearing the angry roar of the blood skull in the void, the Saint Realm powerhouses from various mountains rose into the sky, invoking terrifying aura while evolving bindings within the sect to lock down the space and prevent the traitor from escaping.

Although they did not know what had happened, from the angry response of Xueshenzi, it was evident that this new Bald Elder was indeed very problematic!

In the Blood Demon Sect's mountain range, the Blood Fiend Elder had a pale face, like white paper.

That Bald Elder dared to overstep the Sect Master, and now the entire Blood Demon Sect was pursuing him. Everyone in the sect knew that he, the Blood Fiend, had the best relationship with this newly promoted Core Elder. Now that the Bald Elder was in trouble, he, the Elder, could not escape responsibility. It was truly trouble upon trouble.

“No, this can't go on. If I do nothing, I'll likely be labeled a traitor soon. I must do something!”

The Blood Fiend Elder's expression was grave, a strange light flickering in his eyes as he swiftly flew towards the direction of the sect. He intended to personally intervene to stop this Bald Elder for the sect!

…
On the other side.

Li Xiaobai had already reached a remote area of the Blood Demon Sect.

He also heard the voice of that blood-colored skeleton, and had anticipated it, not panicked at all, calmly taking off the Human Skin Mask on his face, kneading it a few times, reshaping it into the face of the Blood Fiend Elder, and then putting it back on.

His whole appearance and aura changed in an instant, he was the exact image of the Blood Fiend Elder himself.

Activating the Smooth Travel Talisman, he appeared at the gate of the sect, cautiously surveying the situation.

The disciples of the Blood Demon Sect moved quickly, and the prohibitions under the cliff had already been activated by a team of disciples from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, covering the cliff with a thick black fog, which appeared eerie and terrifying – clearly the effect of those prohibitions.

Li Xiaobai steadied his mind and slowly walked up to the group of disciples, solemnly asking, “Do you recognize this old man?”

“Disciple sees the Blood Fiend Elder!”

Seeing Li Xiaobai, the guarding disciples respectfully bowed and saluted, their faces full of reverence.

“The Sect Master's order just now, you all heard it. Bald Qiang, acting against his superiors, superficially gaining the Sect Master's trust but actually an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sealing Sect, moved the Sect Master's treasures and revealed his fault, leading to the Sect Master's pursuit. Now, under the Sect Master's orders, I take charge of guarding the mountain gate to prevent the traitor from fleeing. You must quickly go to each major mountain peak and inform all the major branches of the law!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand very solemnly.

“This…”

“But we haven't received related orders, and this gate belongs to the territory controlled by the Shadow Demon Lineage…”

The disciples were initially startled and said involuntarily.

The fact that the Blood Demon Lineage was supposed to guard the gate seemed abrupt and inappropriate without an order from the Sect Master or the consent of a saint-level powerhouse from the Shadow Lineage.

Li Xiaobai's heart also skipped a beat, never expecting that even the gate would fall within the area of influence of the Shadow Demon Lineage, somewhat caught off guard. However, with his years of trickery and deceit, manipulating a few youngsters was still within his grasp.

“Ridiculous, the sect belongs to all of us, and guarding the Blood Demon Sect for the Sect Master is our duty. Is this a time to speak of distinctions between you and me?”

“Are you trying to form small factions, cause divisions, and target each other?”

“Bald Qiang's cultivation level is of the Saint Realm, you few can't even withstand a single glance from him. By standing guard here promptly on your behalf, you from the Shadow Demon Lineage should be thanking me!”

“Hurry and notify all the mountain peaks' cultivators, do not neglect urgent military matters, or you will be held accountable!”

Li Xiaobai's eyes flashed with menace as he spoke fiercely.

“Yes!”

“Thank you, Elder of the Blood Demon Sect for your help. We did not consider thoroughly, the disciple will go now!”

A few of the guarding disciples said somewhat fearfully, taking quick steps to leave, but at that moment, another streak of light descended from the sky, landing in front of the mountain gate.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

“Blood Fiend Elder, how come you're coming from that direction too?”

“This… This… Two Blood Fiend Elders?”

The guards were thoroughly confused; they had just had a Blood Fiend Elder there to help them guard the gate, and now another one had suddenly appeared from the sky?

“Hm? What are you doing here, why did you leave your post?”

“And over there… damn it, who are you!”

“How dare you, who the hell are you to dare impersonate me!”

The Blood Fiend Elder glanced at Li Xiaobai at the mountain gate, at first thinking he was just a guarding disciple and not too concerned. But when he saw his face, his hair stood on end.

The person in front of him looked exactly like him, not only in appearance but even the aura and demeanor were exactly the same, as if looking into a mirror.

Before he could reflect further, the “Blood Fiend Elder” across from him spoke.

“Who might you be?”

“I am a saint of the Blood Demon Lineage, lived over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen someone dare to impersonate me. You've got some nerve. Now, if you kneel and take your own life, I might leave your body intact!”
