I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1270

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1271: The Eve of the Storm Chapter 1270: Chapter 1271: The Eve of the Storm “There's no need to count them, I trust you!”

“Bodhi Temple really is different from Heavenly Dragon Temple. Should such an opportunity arise again in the future, I will propose to the Buddhist Sect to give priority to your Bodhi Temple.”

Li Xiaobai nodded slowly as he spoke, casually summoning all the piled resources into his bag, while his heart was thumping nervously. Everything had gone smoothly so far; the resources were secured, and all that remained was to leave Bodhi Temple.

“Amitabha, then Elder Xueyuan has my gratitude.”

“Should you decide to unfold this plan in the future, please do consider Bodhi Temple favorably!”

Abbot Huyan said with a joyful expression, palms pressed together.

“That's easy to say; I'll be sure to visit then.”

Li Xiaobai spoke with a smile, “I have other pressing matters to attend to. I will report everything that has happened during my visit, and I believe Master Wuyuzi will be very comforted knowing the loyal and devoted Bodhi Temple exists within the Buddhist Sect.”

“Amitabha, gentle patrons, please go slowly. Before you depart, this humble monk has an Eight Treasures Chicken King to offer. It is at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, just one step away from the Semi-Saint level. After returning, allowing the Sect Disciples to consume it will overflow their vital energy, solidify their foundation, and a boost in cultivation level won't be a problem. Just a token of my esteem, I implore Elder Xueyuan not to refuse.”

Abbot Huyan signaled, and right away Master Luanyu stepped forward, presenting a chicken that radiated with a kaleidoscope of colors. The chicken was cloaked in an aura of immortality, exuding noble deportment, and its haughty eyes seemed to look down on all living beings. It was a proud chicken.

But no matter how proud it was, that was of no use since it would soon become a meal.

“Rest assured, the chicken's cultivation has been sealed; it will not harm the disciples. Moreover, its cultivation was artificially accelerated through Spirit Grass, so in terms of actual strength, it is probably not even a match for an ordinary cultivator at the Heavenly Immortal Realm,” the Monk Luanyu said, radiating goodwill, hoping Li Xiaobai would accept this gift. With the gift accepted, the verbal agreement between the two parties would be completely realized, giving them peace of mind.

“I'll accept it on his behalf!”

Ji Wuqing stepped forward and with a single inhalation, he gulped down the Eight Treasures Chicken King, securing it to prevent any further harm.

“Very well, then I appreciate the kind intentions of both masters.”

Li Xiaobai nodded. He felt indifferent about the chicken; he already had plenty of Heavenly Immortal realm dragon meat yet to be consumed. What was so special about a mass-produced Eight Treasures Chicken? The two monks were reluctant to part with resources that a Saint Realm cultivator could use; hence, they aimed the gift at the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect. Who would refuse benefits for their own disciples? These two old monks might appear honest and straightforward, yet they too harbored crafty schemes!

“Masters, as the green hills remain unchanged and the rivers flow ever on, we shall meet again!”

Xiao Lao Di said, folding his arms in a salute with a solemn expression.

“Amitabha, this old monk looks forward to seeing the effects of the Huazi. If the entire temple ascends because of it, then your patrons will indeed have accumulated limitless merit!”

Abbot Huyan said.

“Farewell!”

Li Xiaobai bowed slightly, leading the group out of the temple. The old monk was right about the Huazi's effect being one of limitless merit, but the merit likely differed from what Abbot Huyan and the others imagined. This was about saving the monks of the Buddhist Sect, not merely about enhancing insight and cultivation. But by the time they realize, it might be too late. As long as the entire Buddha Country's monks come to a moment of collective clarity, even briefly, the System task will be considered successful–a preparation he had fully completed the night before.

“Kid, shall we head to Great Thunderclap Temple?”

Ergouzi tilted his head and spoke, to be honest, it felt a bit timid now, and the premium Immortal Stones in Li Xiaobai's hands couldn't be described as a vast amount anymore, it was an entire galaxy!

Hundreds of billions of premium Immortal Stone Resources, how can one ever spend such an amount? Not to mention in this lifetime, even in the next, it would be impossible to spend it all!

“No need for that, we must leave the Western Continent immediately, the Buddha Country is about to undergo a huge change, we need to escape before it happens!”

Li Xiaobai didn't even think twice and blurted out, if the Heavenly Dragon Temple matter unfolds gradually, it would be impossible to conceal, and once discovered by the Great Thunderclap Temple all efforts would be in vain. He decided to break the situation with one last violent move; after all, money was no issue now, his clones could spend recklessly and cause chaos at will.

“It should have been this way long ago!”

“That's precisely what Buddha wants!”

“We've made enough, time to hit the road, only what we have in our hands can truly be considered ours!”

Once these words were spoken, the other three immediately expressed their agreement. In fact, they didn't even want to make the trip to the Bodhi Temple. Since the two masters from the Heavenly Dragon Temple didn't catch up, they should have left the Western Continent overnight; after all, in this kind of violent business, what matters is not to stop losses but to secure profits, failing to quit while ahead is surely a huge loss!

Now they have provoked two temples in succession and are dancing on the edge of the knife, a dangerous juncture.

Within the Bodhi Temple, passage was unobstructed, with Abbot Huyan's command that no one should stop them arbitrarily.

The group smoothly exited the temple grounds, and Xiao Lao Di showcased his cultivation level. The four of them merged into the void and disappeared, not caring about the direction and heading speedily towards a location near the sea, as Buddha Country was now a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

In places unseen by the crowd.

Figures in black robes sent white Thousand Paper Cranes soaring into the sky, hiding above the clouds, waiting for the timing to explode all at once.

Meanwhile, the cities and temples they were in were teeming with chaotic uproars.

One after another, the high monks of the Buddhist Sect who had attained enlightenment were pulled down from their pedestals, tied to pillars awaiting trial. All these were accomplices of the Power of Faith, aware of the Buddhist Sect's internal affairs yet still committed to evil, constantly converting the public to expand the Buddhist Sect's followers.

At this moment, the Disciples of the Buddhist Sect gradually came to their senses, and their hatred for these “chief culprits” was sky-high. To kill them was too lenient; they wished they could eat their flesh, drink their blood, and slice them to pieces!

Such incidents were happening in various places within the Buddha Country. Except for the Great Thunderclap Temple, which remained calm, the rest of the major temples began to experience varying degrees of turmoil.

Inside the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Without their leaders.

Ever since Masters Bobozi and Pipizi left, they hadn't returned, and now a secret order had been issued demanding the surrender of Huazi. The monks didn't scramble anymore; they each sat cross-legged on the spot, began inhaling Huazi and puffing clouds of smoke. They were all too clear on what surrender meant.

After surrendering, there would be no more Huazi for them, now was their last chance to enjoy the enlightenment-enhancing effects, they must seize this opportunity!

The entire Heavenly Dragon Temple was enveloped in white mist, but as they indulged, many cultivators shuddered, a trace of confusion flashing in their eyes, looking around, they murmured.

“Why am I here?”

“Where is this?”
