I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1035 - 1036: Icy Frost Sect? What is That?

Chapter 1035: Chapter 1036: Icy Frost Sect? What is That?

“Swish!”

A verdant green light flashed by, and in the void, the overwhelming Blood Qi and the black-robed man, who had already fled into the distance, disappeared without a trace.

“Big on talk, small on skill,” Li Xiaobai shook his head as he put away the small broken bowl, amidst the stunned looks from the Huo Family’s group.

“Young Master, what Magic Treasure is this that it can even capture a cultivator from the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

Uncle Huo’s eyes widened in amazement, feeling he had gained some knowledge. It wasn’t that he had never seen a Magic Treasure that could capture people, but those were usually beginner gear; he had never seen a treasure that could capture a powerhouse from the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It seemed overly domineering.

“Just a broken bowl; I usually use it to drink tea,”

...

Li Xiaobai waved his hand, speaking quite casually.

Uncle Huo was left speechless by the casual brag; drinking water with it? Well, rich people do have their whims.

Several juniors subtly stepped back, feeling intimidated. The youth, who they had mocked, turned out to be a hidden powerful figure. Could he be holding a grudge?

“Who is that, having such cultivation and yet he also needs to take a ship?”

“I thought all cultivators on the ship were at my level, needing the ship’s crew for protection. Who would have thought that two powerhouses would appear all of a sudden?”

“That you don’t understand; big shots always keep a low profile,”

On the deck, the cultivators were whispering amongst themselves.

Not only a few of them had witnessed that scene on the ship, almost every cultivator aboard and even many on nearby ships saw it clearly because of the prominent crimson aura.

The fearsome expert was suppressed by the youth using just a small broken bowl.

What kind of cultivation level was that?

Murder and robbery were rare on the ship, as it was well-protected by the Ship Guards, but today was an exception. The cultivator who acted had a cultivation level far surpassing the Ship Guards, and yet such a high-level expert also needed to take a ship.

Couldn’t he just fly across with a Magic Treasure?

“Anyone else wants to kill me? Feel free to try now. If you all attack together, you might stand a chance,”

Li Xiaobai looked around and said indifferently.

He knew there were likely more than just that black-robed man amongst the ship’s powerful passengers. As he was being attacked, he clearly saw several groups getting restless.

No one answered; the cultivators showed fear on their faces, retreating to keep their distance from him, yet no one disembarked. They weren’t foolish—they could tell this young man was not a bloodthirsty killer. Having such a powerful cultivator as a fellow passenger meant this journey would likely be very safe, free from demons or devils.

“I had not expected there to be an assassin on board. I apologize for the disturbance, Young Master. I will arrange for additional protection around you immediately,” said the Old Goat, who had just boarded the ship and happened upon the scene, terrified out of his wits. He hurriedly approached Li Xiaobai, speaking politely. This was indeed a deity! Normally, a cultivator from the Heavenly Immortal Realm was revered, but now someone had been eliminated instantaneously; his own Earth Immortal Realm expert hadn’t even had a chance to react before the battle was over.

No wonder he had been so generous earlier, giving out a top-grade Immortal Stone like it was nothing—he was a powerhouse.

“No need for such measures. Who could have anticipated a thief from the Heavenly Immortal Realm sneaking aboard? Fortunately, I was here, or else you all might have ended up at the bottom of the sea today,” Li Xiaobai waved his hand nonchalantly and spoke lightly.

“Of course, my lord. With your intervention, all evil spirits have nowhere to hide. Truly, you are a role model for our generation. I’ll have my people erect a bronze statue of you at the bow of the ship to honor and venerate you!” The Old Goat said with utmost respect.

Li Xiaobai: “Feel free to do as you please.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Uncle Huo and the others by their side had their expressions turn somewhat bizarre. Had this old goat gotten something wrong? If Li Xiaobai didn’t board this ship, perhaps the assassin from the Heavenly Immortal Realm wouldn’t have been attracted either.

The chief culprit affecting the safety of this vessel was none other than Li Xiaobai himself.

However, these thoughts remained unspoken, as they would never dare to voice them out loud.

“Respected sirs, may I ask if it would be possible for me to set sail?”

“Go ahead, I apologize for the disturbance. As a small gesture of my sincerity, I’ll have someone brew a pot of tea for everyone. Please say it’s on my account.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and spoke languidly, casually tossing out another top-grade Immortal Stone.

“Thank you, sir!”

The old goat was visibly delighted. The cultivators boarding today were exceptionally generous, easily handing out top-grade Immortal Stones without even asking for change. This trip had earned him as much as he would in half a month.

“It has been a long time since I’ve seen such a young prodigy. Unexpectedly, the Huo Family has also produced such a talent.”

“I am the Young Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect, Han Buzhu at your service.”

A hearty laugh broke the silence, resonated on the deck, as a group of cultivators dressed in ice-blue robes rose and approached Li Xiaobai’s group.

The leader, a young man with silver hair, had a pale face like frost and his eyes carried a hint of demonic charm, exuding an air of wickedness. He was the one who had spoken.

As these people stood up, the temperature on the ship dropped several degrees immediately; like Wu Chengjue, they too cultivated Frost Qi.

However, Li Xiaobai had never heard of the Icy Frost Sect.

“So it’s Young Master Han, my apologies for the oversight.”

Li Xiaobai greeted him with a clasped hands and polite words.

“This young master is exceptionally gifted, capable of suppressing Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators with a flip of his hand. Truly, a hero from youth.”

“My own young master is also ranked among the top of the Immortal Ranking, a genius in his own right. Seeing the young master unleash his Divine Might today filled him with joy and he wishes to forge a friendship.”

“I had thought that the Huo family, being a declining clan, would gradually vanish with the passage of time. It is truly incredible that they could nurture someone like the young master.”

An elderly man standing next to Han Buzhu wore a smile, presenting a kind face.

“The Icy Frost Sect?”

“Could it be the Icy Frost Sect from the Southern Continent? What brings them to the Eastern Continent?”

Uncle Huo furrowed his brows, obviously displeased, as these remarks struck a nerve right upon their meeting.

“Indeed, and I have not yet had the honor of asking your distinguished name, young sir. To possess such cultivation level at this age is indeed remarkable. If you are willing to join our Icy Frost Sect as a retainer, you could enjoy vast resources.”

“While the Huo Family’s business spans the globe, they are merely a trading group after all. In terms of resources and strength, they cannot compare to a well-established sect.”

Han Buzhu spoke with a light smile, unabashedly unveiling his purpose of stealing from the Huo Family’s corner. While extending an olive branch to Li Xiaobai, his gaze couldn’t help but drift towards a young lady of the Huo Family, revealing a hint of greed.

Uncle Huo chose not to say much, aware that they were mistaken in viewing Li Xiaobai as a disciple of the Huo Family. But in truth, the Huo Family would not dare provoke this formidable figure; let alone the Huo Family, even the Icy Frost Sect might not afford to offend him.

With Han Buzhu’s frivolous words, he was bound to offend Li Xiaobai. The Huo Family only needed to watch how Han Buzhu would disgrace himself.

Looking at the group of cultivators who had suddenly appeared before him, Li Xiaobai scratched his head: “Icy Frost Sect? What’s that?”
