I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1026 - 1027: Who Allowed You to Capture Him to the Eastern Continent?

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1027: Who Allowed You to Capture Him to the Eastern Continent?

“But speaking of which, Abbot Brother, our people have recently reported that in the outside world, they’ve already been targeted by experts from various great Super Sects. Every move is under control, and it seems impossible to secretly explore and search for the two elderly predecessors who escaped from the Buddhist Pagoda.”

Monk Wuyan spoke slowly.

Wuyuzi responded indifferently, “Then have our people withdrawn, and remember, the fact that the prisoners inside the Buddhist Pagoda are genius disciples of various Sect forces must not be disclosed, nor the existence of Yitilou and Yan Zuzi.”

“These secrets are of utmost confidentiality. If they were to be leaked, our Buddhism would immediately become the target of public criticism, the danger looming at any moment!”

“Amitabha, Brother understands.”

Monk Wuyan nodded, saying that recently Buddhism secretly utilized children for researching new methods, which had been noticed by various great Super Sects. Although they had not openly commented, the movement from various forces was evident; they dispatched their cultivators into Buddha Country, wanting to peek into the matter.

...

These people all carried Magic Treasures, temporarily resisting the Power of Faith from converting them, leaving Buddhism no choice but to temporarily slow the progress of the new method.

Utilizing children for research ultimately concerned only the internal affairs of Buddhism. Even if other Super Sects were resentful, they would only morally condemn it at most, and there wouldn’t be any significant overt reactions. But if the secrets inside the Buddhist Pagoda were exposed, that would be different.

Those imprisoned there were experts from various Sect forces, including young geniuses and Sect Elders, directly relating to the Sect’s interests. Should this be discovered, they would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to attack en masse, aiming to crush Buddhism at once.

“What about the Buddhist Pagoda…”

Monk Wuyan inquired.

“There are their people shadowing in Buddha Country as well, not convenient to make big moves. Find a few of our own to disguise and enter the Buddhist Pagoda, to search for clues.”

Wuyuzi said faintly.

“As you command!”

…

Sword Sect, Second Peak.

Inside the Peak Master Hall, the spatial passage opened again, and Li Xiaobai returned to the Sword Sect.

“Young Junior Brother, how was your journey? Has the Western Desert Buddhism searched high and low for us?”

Liu Jinshui came up and asked.

“Don’t worry, Brother. Today, so many pairs of eyes are watching over Buddhism, everyone is in danger and unable to protect themselves, let alone search for us.”

“We should concentrate on cultivating. In time, we’ll find an opportunity to further stoke the fires, letting the various great Super Sects attack Buddha Country en masse, then we could reap the benefits like a fisherman!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand and said with a light smile.

Liu Jinshui nodded, relieved: “That’s very good.”

“Just now, another child had sudden enlightenment after seeing the spatial passage by the Five-colored Altar.”

Ergouzi whispered from the side.

“What did they comprehend?” Li Xiaobai asked.

“I don’t understand; it seems to be another spatial passage, quite similar to the Five-colored Altar.”

Ergouzi recalled the scene he had witnessed, unsure of his deduction.

“These children are quite extraordinary; they need qualified teachers to guide them to fully develop their Inner Strength and master its usage. I volunteer to be the mentor for these children!”

Old Bangzi said.

“Get lost, these children have always been led by Lord Ergouzi, what does it have to do with you, Old Bangzi?”

Ergouzi reprimanded.

“You guys decide how to divide them up. As the saying goes, ‘In the face of many choices, one only needs to take enough for oneself.’ I just want the leading child; that’s enough for me!”

Ji Wuqing lazily said, lying on the shoulder of the child leader.

The child leader was the boss among the hundred children; to have him meant having all the others.

“I have already discussed this matter with the Sect Master. He will train the children later. You don’t need to worry about anything. With this spare time, you might as well cultivate more and strive to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm sooner.”

Li Xiaobai spoke with a hint of helplessness.

These guys were utterly unreliable, each worse than the next. Comparatively, Ying Diao, who was a Semi-Saint, was slightly more dependable. After all, his strength and vision allowed him to guide more effectively.

The earlier and firmer one’s foundation in cultivation, the better.

Ying Diao readily agreed. Becoming the mentor to a hundred exceptional geniuses was certainly something to be proud of. In the future, when these children grew up to become dominant figures, it would bring much honor to his name.

“You’re heading to Ice Dragon Island, and the journey is perilous. As far as I know, the Eastern Continent doesn’t have direct access to the north. The sea between them is too vast, and attempting to cross forcefully would only result in being captured by the Sea Clan cultivators. You would need to take a ship from the Southern Continent’s coastal area.”

Ying Diao explained.

“Isn’t there a Teleportation Formation?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“Among the four continents, the Eastern Continent is relatively declined, as you know. We don’t have a Formation spanning the sea. The Western Continent does, but would you dare to go there now?”

Ying Diao said.

“Uh… I’ll go from the Southern Continent instead, it’s a good chance to travel around a bit more.”

“The Southern Continent is prosperous, practically every city there has Teleportation Formations functioning as stepping-stones. Reaching coastal regions would be fast.” Ying Diao nodded.

That evening, Li Xiaobai bid farewell to the Sword Sect and rode his golden chariot towards the horizon.

“Speaking of which, it seems I still have a mission to submit.”

On the way, Li Xiaobai took out a bamboo slip, which was the Enforcement Team’s Identity Token that listed the Enforcement Team’s tasks: to assist the Western Continent Buddhism in capturing Jiumozhi.

The main reason for going to the Buddhist Sect was to capture Jiumozhi; Li Xiaobai had killed the monk with a single move in front of the great tomb, and the latter was currently in his gourd.

“Although I haven’t helped the Buddhist Sect, I did capture Jiumozhi. Maybe I should deliver him to the Enforcement Team first and see what reward I can get.”

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, and after a few breaths, he arrived at a desolate mountain peak.

“Who goes there?”

Two hoarsely voiced black-robed cultivators guarding the spot asked.

“Please open the spatial passage.”

Li Xiaobai took out the bamboo slip and waved it.

“Please!”

The two nodded, forming a Seal Spell with their hands to open the passage, revealing a scene of clear mountains and waters.

The scenery inside this minor world was still the same as before, unchanged, with smoke wafting from kitchens, emitting a strong sense of mundane life and scholarly atmosphere.

Thatched cottages were scattered around, and the sound of children reading could be faintly heard.

After finding the mission hall and entering, a familiar face greeted him, the chubby Elder Edward.

“I am Edward. It’s good to see you again, Young Master Li. I didn’t expect to meet you again in just a month or two,”

Edward said cheerfully, beaming kindly.

“Recently, the Buddhist Sect posted a huge reward. If you need any help, just speak to the Enforcement Team.”

Edward said.

“Understood, thank you, senior.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and took out a Jade Gourd, giving it a light tap.

Whoosh!

A bald head abruptly appeared before everyone in a flash of emerald light.

“Senior, I’m here to submit a mission, please process it.”

Looking at the young monk on the ground, Edward’s expression was priceless: “Young Master Li, your task was to assist the Western Continent’s Arhat Hall in capturing Jiumozhi. Who told you to bring him to the Eastern Continent?”
