I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1292: Setting Out Chapter 1291: Chapter 1292: Setting Out Ergouzi was spouting nonsense, leaving the disciples at the gate of the sect baffled and bewildered.

Li Xiaobai had an odd look on his face; this guy actually started offering funeral services. He was planning life-to-death arrangements for people clearly and plainly!

“Ergouzi, when did you switch to the funeral business?”

Li Xiaobai stepped forward to drive the disciples away; if he let them listen any longer, they might become deeply mired, and they would end up emptying their pockets for this darned dog.

“Having more skills doesn't make a juggler overburdened, right?”

Ergouzi grinned, drooling as he did so, feeling that he had found a new market to exploit heavily.

Li Xiaobai couldn't understand this shameless 'aspiring' attitude. Although he had only given the other party ten billion, this was a dog worth tens of billions; why would it care about such a meager profit?

“You conscienceless dog!”

Ji Wuqing cursed as he struggled free from the demon's clutches, floundering out.

“How has the outside world been these past few days, and when will the Buddha and Demon Clans go to war?”

Li Xiaobai glanced at the two and asked leisurely.

“The Buddha Lords wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. What's it to us if they fight?”

Ergouzi said indifferently, unconcerned.

“True, it's just a squabble between the Buddha and Demon Clans, trivial indeed!”

Ji Wuqing waved his claw, also speaking lightly.

Li Xiaobai: “…”

These two were completely carried away with themselves. Ever since their return from the Buddhist Sect, they considered themselves top-notch, basking daily in the adoration of Sect Disciples. They were in desperate need of a harsh dose of reality.

“These two have issues with their mentality; this is a big taboo on the path of cultivation. I'll have Chen Yuan come later to properly adjust them, make them stand in a latrine for more life experience.”

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, heading towards the First Peak.

In the Sword Sect, inside the Sect Master Hall of the First Peak.

Ying Diao was pacing within the hall, holding a scroll, a worried look on his face.

“Sect Master, have you been troubled by anything lately?”

Li Xiaobai brewed a pot of tea as he asked nonchalantly.

“Rumors are flying outside; the Buddha and Demon Clans are on the verge of conflict. Forces in the Central Origin Realm have to pick a side now. Just yesterday, our Sword Sect received two letters, one from Wuyuzi of the Buddha Country and the other from Xueshenzi of the Blood Demon Sect, forcing us to take a stand within three days. Conflict in the Central Origin Realm is brewing, and it seems no one can avoid getting involved.”

Ying Diao let out a sigh; maintaining neutrality was to be neither enemy nor friend, but it also meant the risk of being attacked by both sides. Anyone daring to remain neutral would likely face ostracism from all powers.

The Sword Sect had just begun to flourish; if it went through a baptism of blood and chaos, it might regress by many years.

“Has it come to this?”

Li Xiaobai understood; a fight was inevitable, but until the final moment, nobody knew who the target would be. It could be a division within the Buddhist Sect or an attack against the Blood Demon Sect.

“You need not worry, Sect Master. The Buddhist Sect and the Blood Demon Sect have always been colluding; they're two peas in a pod. The current situation is just a case of dogs biting dogs.”

“Compared to the Blood Demon Sect, which are truly despicable, supporting the Buddha Sect, the hypocrites, would be the better option for us – we should contribute effort without actually doing much.”

Li Xiaobai said casually.

“I think so too. Compared to true villains, hypocrites are somewhat more reliable. It's just a pity that our Sword Sect has just begun to rise and must now be drawn into this turmoil.”

Ying Diao sighed and said.

“With me around, I will ensure that the Sword Sect remains safe!”

After some pleasantries, Li Xiaobai returned to his own pavilion, having mostly grasped the situation outside.

Li Xiaobai was not afraid of the situation in the Central Origin Realm at all. With a vast army of Godzillas under his command, neither the likes of Wuyuzi nor Xueshenzi were of any concern to him. Could a horde of Saint Realm Brother Zillas not prevail over these established Saint Realms?

However, the time was not yet ripe. The hidden, unknown terrifying danger that lurked in the shadows was what he truly wanted to defend against and confront. Judging by his clones' responses, the cataclysm brought about by the more than two hundred layers of Decay God Possession was not so easily resolved by the war between the Buddha and Demon Clans.

He needed to gather his forces and use them at a crucial moment.

Inside the pavilion, everything was as usual, with ninety-nine children still playing on the Money Tree while an old turtle occupied a corner, enjoying the children's frolics.

Each of these children was a prodigy, and their growth marked a genuine golden age where everyone was as formidable as a dragon.

“How goes the cultivation of the suckling child, is there a possibility of breaking through the encirclement?”

Li Xiaobai walked up to the “Money Divine Passage” and slowly said.

Golden runes manifested and writhed on the trunk of the Golden Tree, forming a line of small characters: “Once this awesome divine skill is accomplished, it will be but a trivial effort!”

“Slap!”

A few children struck out, slapping the Money Tree as if venting their dissatisfaction.

Li Xiaobai: “…”

Outside the Sword Sect, there was an austere killing intent.

The edicts of Saint Realm powerhouses possessed great intimidate power, and even sects that had never met could be deterred by a single edict. With the delivery of a letter, all sects across the Eastern Continent would have to submit.

Various Great Sects took sides; some yielded to the tyranny of the Blood Demon Sect, while others held onto some hope for the Buddhist Sect's Pure Land.

Across the Eastern Continent, aside from the Sword Sect and the Enforcement Team, which bided their time in their Pure Lands, the rest of the sects were on high alert, gathering disciples and cultivators, fully prepared. At a command from above, they would instantly mobilize millions of troops to penetrate the Buddhist Sect's Pure Land, or delve into the Blood Demon Sect of the Southern Continent.

Within the Blood Demon Sect.

Notable figures from all sides gathered, but among the Super Sects, only the Five Poison Cult convened here, while the rest of the great super powers all pledged allegiance to the Buddhist Sect's Pure Land.

The situation was clear. Most cultivators chose to side with the Buddhist Sect over the Blood Demon Sect. The Buddha and Demon Clans each stuck to their own arguments, but in reality, no one cared whether the decline in the Power of Faith of the Buddhist Sect was due to the Blood Demon Sect's actions. They were concerned that if the two Clans fought and the Buddhist Sect ended up weakened and destroyed, there would be few powers left within the Central Origin Realm capable of countering the Blood Demon Sect.

Not for anything else, but for their own sakes, they would have to stand with the Buddhist Sect. The Buddhist Sect was currently showing signs of decline, even if they eventually managed to crush the Blood Demon Sect, the currently weakened Buddha Country would not be able to afford to deal with them, allowing ample time for recovery and to rebuild defenses.

The aim of the Five Poison Cult was very clear. As fellow members of the Demon Path, it was natural for them to cling to the mighty leg of the Blood Demon Sect.

“I am pleased that you have come to support the Blood Demon Sect, but I am not at all pleased with the choices made by various Super Sects!”

“With all forces assembled, we will embark on a campaign right now. First, we shall flatten the Buddha Country in the West, and then we will deal with these sects one by one. This is a good opportunity to unify the Central Origin Realm!”

Xueshenzi was seated on a high throne, his hands clasped behind him as he spoke out loud.

“Yes!”
