Chapter 1139: Chapter 1140 The 1000000 army of Villian’s Guild has struck!

“This is natural. My Ice Dragon Island has always stood by our word, and since Young Master Li is the victor of this martial engagement, he rightfully deserves to become our Dragon Race’s son-in-law.”

“However, it is quite coincidental that Xue’er recently had a sudden enlightenment after witnessing the display of talents on the stage. She is currently in seclusion for cultivation, and I’m afraid the wedding will have to wait until she emerges.”

“Today, I can make a decision and present the dowry of my Ice Dragon Island’s disciple to the Young Master, granting him a respectable status in front of all under heaven.”

The Island Master stood up and casually spoke. Below the stage, a messenger came forward with a tray and respectfully presented it to Li Xiaobai with both hands.

Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, pulled back the red cloth, and quietly inside lay a Space Ring.

He picked it up, glanced over it briefly, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened. A luminous blue Immortal Plant emanating an icy aura quietly floated within the Space Ring. In addition, there were also a large number of top-grade Immortal Stones resting inside, roughly three million in number.

The Immortal Stones were inconsequential, but the Immortal Plant was indeed a genuine treasure, the words “Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant” appeared in his mind.

One of the ingredients needed for the System Defense to advance was thus easily obtained.

Taking it out, a deep blue Immortal Herb swayed in the wind, dispersing endless Frost Qi in the void, captivating one’s heart and soul.

[Ding! Detected host obtaining Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant!]

[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[…]

[Defense: Heavenly Immortal Realm (Four Billion/Ten Billion) (Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant: acquired) (Blood Sun Heavenly Egg: not obtained) can advance.]

[…]

Unbeknownst to him, his defense had also reached a whopping four billion, quickly approaching the halfway mark to ten billion.

As the system interface prompt skipped by, the Immortal Plant appeared for a moment in the void and then disappeared into Li Xiaobai’s hands. The onlookers suspected nothing, simply assuming that Li Xiaobai had pocketed it.

“Is the dowry from Ice Dragon Island to your satisfaction?”

“This Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant, even if one looks across the entire Central Origin Realm, there is only one, which fully demonstrates my sincerity.”

The Island Master spoke indifferently from the stone pillar. His voice was not loud, but it spread to the ears of every cultivator present.

“Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant!”

“It’s actually a Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant!”

“This is indeed a genuine treasure. It can refine the Frost Qi within one’s body to an extremely pure state. What’s crucial is that cultivators of any realm can consume it, and its effect on solidifying one’s foundation is immeasurable. The Island Master is truly lavish to offer it as the dowry for Immortal Longxue!”

At these words, the crowd was astounded. The cultivators involuntarily widened their eyes in regret, having not scrutinized that Immortal Plant more carefully earlier.

This Immortal Herb was a blessing for any cultivator. Even if one did not cultivate Frost Qi, merely having it on one’s person could accelerate their cultivation.

While the cultivators were amazed at Ice Dragon Island’s generosity, Li Xiaobai was without reaction, his face neither joyous nor sad. Clearly, Ice Dragon Island was employing delay tactics, using Long Xue’s seclusion as an excuse to stall for time. Their ostentatious display of sincerity with the Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant effectively sealed any murmurs of dissent, a truly clever move.

For Ice Dragon Island, this Immortal Plant was merely temporarily in his possession; as long as he stayed on Ice Dragon Island, they could reclaim it at any time. And it wasn’t hard to imagine that after today, Ice Dragon Island would keep him on the island, waiting for the world’s heroes to disperse before taking action against him.

On the surface, he appeared to be a winner in life, but in reality, he had gained nothing, with the initiative in others’ hands from beginning to end.

However, the Island Master had made one mistake. Li Xiaobai was not alone; he did not possess merely the weak power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Today, he intended to take Long Xue away; who would face upheaval if they persisted in their obstruction—just as had happened in the Western Continent Buddha Nation. After all, already bearing the hefty bounty of the Western Continent Buddha Nation, he wasn’t afraid to add another warrant to his name.

“The Island Master indeed has good intentions. This Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant can barely be considered a treasure. After all, ‘it’s the thought that counts,’ and I, Han, am not a materialistic person. I do not concern myself with these trivial details.”

Li Xiaobai clasped his fists in a salute and said indifferently, as soon as he opened his mouth, he left many cultivators speechless.

What a guy, to think that a gift like the Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant, so significant in nature, is actually considered a token of profound affection when given to you?

Aren’t you materialistic too?

If not materialistic, then why are you scamming them for Immortal Stones?

Who are you trying to fool? Where’s your face?

“However, I saw Immortal Longxue two days prior, and she appeared normal, not at all looking like someone who is about to enter seclusion; I’m afraid this sudden enlightenment is nothing but an excuse from the Island Master.”

“Today, I have come to take Immortal Longxue away. If I don’t see her, I will not leave.”

Li Xiaobai put away the Space Ring, his expression turned stern as he spoke coldly.

This move made both the Island Master and the Great Elder’s eyelids twitch; it had been a long time since they saw such a brazen and shameless person, arrogantly taking the wedding gift and then denying recognition?

At least put up some pretense of politeness, won’t you?

“How preposterous!”

“Xue’er is indeed in seclusion, and this Elder has witnessed it with his own eyes. How could it be fake? The Island Master has already made it very clear. Please, Young Master, consider staying on Ice Dragon Island until Xue’er concludes her seclusion, and we will notify you immediately.”

“Moreover, having given you a treasure of the caliber of the Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant, it should be enough to demonstrate our sincerity. Stop spouting nonsense here!”

The Great Elder shouted angrily.

“Where is she? As long as you allow Young Master Han to have a look at Immortal Longxue to confirm she is truly in seclusion, I, Han, will immediately apologize to the Island Master!”

Li Xiaobai spoke lightly, seeing that the Island Master and the Great Elder were determined to stall for time.

“Young Master Han, Xue’er is indeed in seclusion, and this is no fabrication of mine; many elders of Ice Dragon Island can bear witness.”

The Island Master spoke indifferently.

Li Xiaobai said coldly, “Yet last night, I was ambushed by seven elders of Ice Dragon Island, all Half-Holy Level experts. This incident can be witnessed by fellow brothers from other Super Sects. How do you explain this?”

“Am I to assume that Ice Dragon Island wishes to eliminate all the geniuses on the island in one fell swoop?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone from Ice Dragon Island changed. They hadn’t expected that Han Buzhu would directly tear off their fig leaf and expose their misdeeds to the public.

Those geniuses from other Super Sects were in the same boat, and if this caused misunderstandings among other sects, they might not be able to clear their names.

“Young Master Han, please control yourself. Last night, all the elders of Ice Dragon Island were busy with the wedding arrangements and none left the island. This Elder will personally root out any petty criminals lurking on the island. Meanwhile, I hope Young Master can remain calm and wait patiently for a few days.”

The Great Elder’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, suppressing his anger.

“You really won’t release her?”

Li Xiaobai tilted his head and asked.

The Island Master responded with a cold voice, “Xue’er is in seclusion, which is crucial to her cultivation. I hope Young Master can understand this matter.”

Li Xiaobai: “If that’s the case, then I have no choice but to use force.”

“How do you plan on using force?”

“To be honest, today marks the important moment for Han to welcome the wife of our Gang Leader. My Villian’s Guild’s million-strong army is already waiting outside Ice Dragon Island. If today the Island Master insists on blocking me, even if I, Han, win the fight, the million brothers from my Villian’s Guild stationed outside won’t agree!”
