I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265: Chapter 1266: Bodhi Temple Chapter 1265: Chapter 1266: Bodhi Temple “Suppress!”

Outside the hall, a thunderous shout suddenly filled the sky, as countless streams of Buddha's light soared upwards. Manifestations of Golden Dragons emerged, and a Buddha descended from the heavens, landing upon the bodies of the Golden Dragons.

At the same time, under the feet of everyone inside the hall, golden Buddha lights crisscrossed, weaving into a complex Formation totem that slowly rotated, its terrifying presence crushing down, intending to trap Li Xiaobai and his party within.

“Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions?”

“Are those monks outside all from the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions?”

Xiao Lao Di's expression shifted slightly. They had been targeted since early on, and their machinations in various temples had also been noticed.

“I had felt something was off about the cultivators outside earlier; it turns out it was an ambush set up by the Heavenly Dragon Temple.”

Li Xiaobai's heart chilled, but he did not panic too much. After all, the vast Immortal Stone Resources garnered by various temples were in his hands–a staggering amount, enough to unleash a herd of Saint Realm Godzillas, making the Heavenly Dragon Temple seem insignificant by comparison.

However, there was still the Reverse Enlightenment mission. If possible, it would be best to minimize disturbances to avoid alarming Great Thunderclap Temple and Bodhi Temple.

“Elder Xueyuan, this old monk knows you're being suppressed by these two, unable to escape. As long as you cooperate with this old monk today to keep these two within the Heavenly Dragon Temple, I promise to grant you your freedom!”

Abbot Bobozi, confident of victory, smiled at Li Xiaobai as he spoke.

The Heavenly Dragon Temple had calculated that this great demon head of the Blood Demon Sect would join forces with them for the sake of freedom to counterattack Ergouzi and Xiao Lao Di. But what these bald donkeys couldn't imagine was that this Core Elder of the Blood Demon Sect was merely an impostor.

“So that's how it is, Abbot has indeed taken great pains. Grant me my freedom today, and my Blood Demon Sect will be sure to repay the favor another day!”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, flipping his wrist to produce a talisman, confronting Xiao Lao Di and others.

“Elder Xueyuan is too kind. The Buddha Country and the Blood Demon Sect have a secret cooperation, and helping Elder Xueyuan regain his freedom is simply fulfilling my duty!”

“I hope Elder Xueyuan will put in some good words for me in front of Sect Master Xueshenzi.”

Bobozi said with a joyful laugh, suddenly revealing bombshell news.

Li Xiaobai's heart tensed; this was a significant piece of intelligence. The Blood Demon Sect was actually involved with the Buddhist Sect, and by the sound of it, the relationship was not shallow!

“Words must be spoken with caution, and actions must be deliberate. There are outsiders present, Master Abbot. Let's not speak too freely of things that could be harmful to both of us if they were to spread.”

Li Xiaobai's expression suddenly darkened, his eyes revealing a murderous intent as he spoke each word.

“Come to the Land of Yumi, one one zero, six one zero, six three nine three, this is Pinguin's place, come chop me!”

“Amitabha, the benefactor teaches well. However, even if one possesses the ability to reach the heavens, it's futile within the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions. Moreover, with you and me joining forces, they are sure to be captured!”

Bobozi, with a smile hanging on his face, was certain of capturing Xiao Lao Di and the others.

“Good to know. The night is long and full of dreams; hesitation leads to change. Let's make our move!”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Make your move, set up the Formation!”

Bobozi commanded sternly, casting a glance at Pipizi, and without vocal communication, both acted simultaneously. Two Buddha silhouettes reflected in the sky, tearing the heavens and the earth apart. Both aimed to keep the noise to a minimum, sharing Li Xiaobai's desire to prevent the other two great temples from learning about the events transpiring within the Heavenly Dragon Temple. Otherwise, they stood to lose Huazi, and their advantage would be gone.

“Roar!”

The golden Buddha outside, stepping on the shadow of the Golden Dragons, arrived through the void with the Demon-Subduing Pestle in hand, creating a fierce wind. The three parties converged, aiming to capture Xiao Lao Di and Ergouzi in one fell swoop.

Unbeknownst to them, the very moment they moved, two talismans were mysteriously affixed to their backs. Once activated, the talismans instantly swapped their places with Xiao Lao Di's party. The Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions and the two Buddhas collided fiercely, a terrifying energy swept through, the space trembled, the Formation destabilized, and at that moment, the great hall turned to dust.

The dust settled, and upon looking again, there was no one else besides the monks from Heavenly Dragon Temple.

“Damn it, they're in collusion!”

“We've been duped, that Xueyuan is in cahoots with Wuhu!”

“I was wondering why he seemed somewhat odd, rather than being captured, he came willingly. Blood Demon Sect must have joined forces with Wuhu long ago, aiming to make a big score inside Heavenly Dragon Temple!”

Looking at the now empty scene, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, the two groups had switched places, and because of the recent collision, the space become unstable. No doubt, that group must have already fled!

“Elder brother, what should we do?”

“Should we report this to the other two major temples and catch them together?”

Pipizi asked.

“Absolutely not, we chase, we must get the resources back!”

“Additionally, issue an order that no one is allowed to consume Huazi; all Huazi must be turned over to the control of Heavenly Dragon Temple, to be distributed by Heavenly Dragon Temple!”

Bobozi said coldly, his figure disappearing in an instant, and Pipizi quickly followed, blending into the night.

The remaining monks were somewhat dumbfounded. They could still accept the Abbot dealing with Master Wuhu, as disputes between Saint Realm powerhouses are common, but now they were even going to reclaim the monks' Huazi, which was self-serving at the expense of others!

“Elder brother, what should we do, should we turn them over?” a cultivator asked.

“Nonsense, of course, we should, but since both great masters have left, we should draw a couple more for ourselves first, and turn them in before the masters return!”

“Spread the word, tell the brothers to hurry up and draw Huazi for cultivation, don't queue up and fight over it!”

The leading Buddhist monk made a decisive decision. The Huazi were bought with a lot of money, and nobody wanted to turn them over just because someone said so – at the very least, they had to seize some benefits for themselves.

“Yes!”

Elsewhere.

Outside Golden Dragon Temple, several figures nearly teleported towards the direction of Bodhi Temple. Xiao Lao Di, with his Saint Realm power, crossed the mountain range in just a few breaths and reached near Bodhi Temple.

“Kid, thanks to your talisman, otherwise, we really might not have had a chance to get out. These bald donkeys are too despicable, wanting to swindle us!”

“Don't let yourself get isolated in the future, or else old man will teach them a lesson!”

Xiao Lao Di was fuming with rage. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation, having to flee without striking a single blow.

“Predecessor, there's no need to be angry. We've also achieved our goal. I've let my clone scatter false trails along the way to divert our pursuers. Let's first enter Bodhi Temple and talk later.”

Li Xiaobai said, his attention always on the number of his system clones. At this moment, the clone that was leading the pursuers astray had not died yet, indicating that the pursuers had not yet reached their position.

“Is it too hasty to enter like this? News from Heavenly Dragon Temple will sooner or later reach Bodhi Temple, and then acting won't work anymore.”

Ergouzi said, grinning in spite of its injuries from the battle's aftermath.

“I've prepared for this. An hour ago, I had already sent a letter detailing everything that happened at Golden Dragon Temple into Bodhi Temple. Now, they will only welcome us. Just follow me!”

Li Xiaobai was calm and composed. The same old tricks would naturally give them away; therefore, he had prepared a way out well in advance. The incident at Heavenly Dragon Temple would only make Bodhi Temple trust them more.
