I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1289

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1290: Sowing Discord Chapter 1289: Chapter 1290: Sowing Discord The following morning, at daybreak.

Within the Central Origin Realm, the winds rose and clouds churned, as two pieces of staggering news spread, shocking all under the heavens.

“Elder Xueyuan of the Blood Demon Sect was seemingly ambushed en route to various Great Sects, and the prime suspect is startlingly…”

“Within the Pure Land of the Buddhist Sect, the monk Wuyan who persuaded the Great Sects to attack the Blood Demon Sect, mysteriously disappeared near the territory of the Blood Demon Sect. Is this a twist of human nature or a descent of morality?”

These two pieces of news immediately set off a massive uproar within the Central Origin Realm.

Needless to say, the instigator was none other than Li Xiaobai, who had clandestinely released the news, directing the information about Xueyuan to the Blood Demon Sect, and then the news about the monk Wuyan to the Buddhist Sect.

The news spread layer by layer, traversing the entire mainland in just one night.

The two pieces of information did not specify where Xueyuan and the monk Wuyan were exactly, but between the lines, they inevitably hinted at relations to the Blood Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect. Anyone with half a brain could guess that the two sides had found each other's trail–Blood Demon Sect taking down the monk Wuyan, and the Buddhist Sect suppressing Elder Xueyuan. This was a dramatic one-for-one exchange.

The most distressed was undoubtedly the Buddha Nation within the Western Continent. Originally, there were few capable enough to stand out. Now one of the most crucial powers, the monk Wuyan, had vanished into thin air, leaving Wuyuzi in utter desperation. The Buddhist Sect didn't have an abundance of monks of the Saint Realm to spare, let alone now that the supply chain of the Power of Faith for the Buddhist Sect had been severed. Losing one meant a significant reduction in combat power.

The disappearance of the monk Wuyan added insult to injury for the Buddhist Sect, which was already in the midst of a great crisis.

“There's no need to think about it, this must have been the doing of the Blood Demon Sect. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Master Wuyan just happened to disappear within the Southern Continent, and just so happens to be near the territory of the Blood Demon Sect!”

Within the Buddha Nation, a monastery abbot said with indignation.

“The key lies in the authenticity of this news, and the identity of the person who spread it, as well as their motives and whether they harbor any ill intentions, all of which need to be clarified!”

“The most expedient method is to send a letter to the Blood Demon Sect, taking the initiative to clarify that the Buddhist Sect has no intentions of misconduct! With an exchange of information, the truth will naturally come to light!”

Master Bobozi spoke from within the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

“Even if all these are false, the fact remains that the Buddhist Sect has secretly contacted other major sects intending to make a move on the Blood Demon Sect. Based on this alone, they will not let us off. In my opinion, there's already an irreconcilable situation between the Buddha and Demon Clans. All misunderstandings and explanations seem feeble. The priority now should be to immediately find someone to replace and complete the mission that Master Wuyan failed to!”

Abbot Huyan from Bodhi Temple pondered and said that even if all misunderstandings were clarified, it would be of no use. The Buddhist Sect's intention to ally and destroy the Blood Demon Sect is undeniable, and the Blood Demon Sect's wish to seize the opportunity to lead a host of Super Sects to flatten the Buddhist Sect is also true. Yet, this point alone has already turned into a life-and-death struggle.

“Currently, this is the only plan we have. Let us first rally the numerous Righteous Sects, and this task will be handled by Master Bobozi!”

Wuyuzi gave Bobozi a glance and said. Ultimately, it was because of Heavenly Dragon Temple's greed that led to the oversight. If those people had been exposed while inside the Heavenly Dragon Temple, the subsequent events might not have happened. This served as an opportunity for them to atone for their mistakes.

Meanwhile, within the Blood Demon Sect.

Regarding the mysterious disappearance of Xueyuan, there was no loud outcry from within the sect–only endless indifference was present.

“Elder Xueyuan should have been on the Southern Continent, persuading the Great Sects. His sudden disappearance suggests that the Buddhist Sect couldn't hold back their impatience and struck first!”

Xueshenzi commented nonchalantly.

“Allow me to muster our forces and take down all the sects on the Southern Continent first, then march west and flatten the Buddha Nation!”

The Blood Fiend Elder said with a face full of murderous intent, his eyes gleaming red with ferocity.

“We must not act hastily in this matter. If Elder Xueyuan has already persuaded the major forces to attack the Western Continent, then we just need to quietly await the outcome. The Elder of the Blood Demon Sect appears to be somewhat simple-minded–all actions should prioritize the greater picture!”

A seductive woman wearing a fox mask spoke lightly: “The Sect Master only needs to personally write letters to all the Super Sects. Within three days, a large number of cultivators will inevitably head west, directly towards the Western Continent Buddha Nation.”

“If the Sect Master trusts me, leave this matter to me to handle!”

She was a Saint Realm expert of Hehuan's Sect, a merciless gatherer of essences, seeking to use this opportunity to naturally enter other Super Sects and take away one or two pieces of fresh meat.

“The matter of exterminating Buddhism is already a settled affair. If we can borrow the hands of others to break through the Buddhist Sect, it would save us a lot of trouble! We could then reallocate our forces to guard against those forces stirring up trouble in the shadows!”

Shadow Assassin Dan Dao slowly said.

“What you all say is extremely true. This is indeed what I mean. The news of exterminating Buddhism needs only to be spread. Those sects willing to follow will follow; those unwilling will have their names noted down for a combined reckoning later–exterminated!”

Xueshenzi gave the final word and immediately drafted a Saint Realm decree, upon which only two big characters were written: “Exterminate Buddhism!”

Demonic Qi loomed heavily, thunder rolled, and the decree was handed over to Hehuan.

“Leave this matter to you to handle!”

“Yes, thank you, Sect Master!”

In the Eastern Continent, within the Sword Sect.

Li Xiaobai lay flat on the tip of Sword Peak, feeling the System Attribute Points climbing bit by bit, utterly bored.

Some activity stirred in the chat room–it was one of the clones talking, and his mind sank into it.

[I'm Not Li Xiaobai: Finished reading the book, time for the main body to come out and take a beating!]
[Li Xiaobai: Have you gained anything?]
[I'm Not Li Xiaobai: It's all damn Buddhist scriptures, really damn tough to chew, to sum it up in one sentence: the Power of Faith has infinite wonderful uses!]
Li Xiaobai: “…”

That's as good as saying nothing.

[Li Xiaohei: To sum it up in one sentence, the Power of Faith is omnipotent!]
[Umbrella Soldier No.1 Li Xiaobai: To sum it up in one sentence: The Power of Faith is eternally divine!]
[Li Xiaobai: So, the Power of Faith is a type of offensive and defensive means?]
[Umbrella Soldier No.1 Li Xiaobai: Yes!]
[Li Xiaobai: Does the Power of Faith possess strong restorative abilities?]
[Umbrella Soldier No.1 Li Xiaobai: Yes!]
[Li Xiaobai: Can the Power of Faith resurrect a person?]
[Umbrella Soldier No.1 Li Xiaobai: It can!]
[Li Xiaobai: You all are sent by the System, you must know something. Is the great terror crisis triggered by the Decay God Possession related to the great calamity of Central Origin Realm, and can the Power of Faith become the key in this calamity?]
Li Xiaobai sent out this sentence, but it immediately sank without trace, as if all the active clones suddenly went offline and disappeared without a trace, no response to whatever he said.

“Damn, these guys must know something, but they just won't say it. Aren't they my clones? How come each one feels like a big boss!”

Li Xiaobai cursed in his heart, but it wasn't completely without gain–at the very least, one thing had been confirmed: the Power of Faith can resurrect a person!

This alone was worth his effort to explore further.
