Chapter 849: Chapter 850: Nothing much to say, I’ll build you a grave.
“`
“What!”
“Was it him who threw the relic into the sea?”
“Is he scheming to deliberately ensnare and kill us?”
As this statement was made, the crowd at the scene erupted into an uproar, not only the Blade Sect cultivators, but also those from the other major sects had their expressions change at that moment. If the ancient relic was deliberately thrown into the sea, then everything that had occurred today had to be redefined.
Ying Diao’s actions were not just aimed at dealing with the Blade Sect, but intended to catch all the other major sects in one sweep!
The other party had anticipated that they were no match for the Blade Sect, and if a duel between disciples ensued, they would invariably seek help from the Sword Sect. In this way, he could completely enter the Little Ghost Secret Realm as an outsider.
No wonder he had agreed so readily when they called for help that day!
“Helmsman Wu, why did I not know about this?”
Elder Ouyang was somewhat shocked. Such an immense and terrifying plan had unfolded without his knowledge. He had come today just to witness the duel between sect disciples, unaware of any other schemes at play.
He had never imagined that the duel itself was merely a distraction, and the Sect Master had an entirely different goal in mind—to annihilate all the sects.
However, on second thought, if this plan were to indeed succeed, wouldn’t his Sword Sect have the opportunity to rise to the top of the Eastern Continent?
“We are all Sword Sect cultivators, Helmsman, quickly withdraw your Divine Skills. I will lead the charge and slaughter these people!”
Elder Ouyang shouted, for at this moment within the Ice and Snow World, most people were shivering violently from the cold, utterly devoid of fighting strength. Charging now would mean weeding them out without much effort!
“It seems you have not understood the painstaking effort of your Sect Master. Ying Diao intends to refine all living beings within the Little Secret Realm, including those of the Sword Sect.”
“Just stay put, you no longer have a chance.”
Wu Chengjue said indifferently, as behind him, nine snow-white massive tails re-emerged, ready to freeze the entire Little Secret Realm.
“Impossible, I am an Elder of the Sword Sect, how could the Sect Master possibly want to kill me?”
“It must be you, Demonic Woman, spouting nonsense. I want to get out!”
Elder Ouyang’s eyes shifted as he activated his Cultivation Technique to shake off the ice and escape, but the next second a giant tail of frost swept him up, exposing him closely to the Frost Qi which stiffened his limbs, fixing him in the void.
“I will kill you first, then I’ll go find Ying Diao!”
The Blade Sect elder’s aura was astonishing, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and in an instant, a layer of blade qi enveloped the hundred miles of the Ice and Snow World, shattering the ice to pieces. This was the domain of a Half-Saint Cultivator and the manipulation of blade qi.
Yet Wu Chengjue remained unflustered, because at this very moment, the ancient sword buried below the arena had been unsheathed.
The entire arena seemed to come alive, bursting with dazzling golden light and transforming into a Pure Land that blocked all blade qi from entering. At the same time, the nine gigantic tails of frost swept over, covering a corner and temporarily stalemating the blade qi.
The Blade Sect elder’s eyes changed. If the arena was the sword’s sheath and had come to life, it indicated that the ancient sword must have been drawn by someone. This place was about to become Ying Diao’s home turf.
If he lingered any longer, his life would be at risk. Without hesitation, he flickered towards the entrance of the Little Secret Realm, intent on escaping. In the outside world, he was confident in his ability to contend with Ying Diao.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Li Xiaobai and Ji Wuqing hid in a corner, with those nine snow-white tails shielding him, fending off the blade qi and severe cold. He understood that Wu Chengjue was protecting him—his name was not on the Sect Master’s hit list.
“Senior Wu is still a good person, knowing to protect me.”
He couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at the disciples trembling from the frostbite beside him.
So, everything was a scheme set by Ying Diao, laid out since more than a decade ago. It was unimaginable that all this was planned by that stolid man. No wonder he was forbidden from capturing other cultivators or killing them.
The enemy needed to refine these cultivators to enhance their own strength, naturally, they wouldn’t want any of them dead.
“Alas, they are all pitiful souls. Compared to the Sect Master, our little tricks are nothing but child’s play. This is what true treachery is.”
“The entire Little Secret Realm belongs to him, what can these people do to fight against him?”
Li Xiaobai mused for a moment, then deftly stripped the clothes from the surrounding disciples. They were going to die anyway, and those belongings were of no use to them. He couldn’t plunder the cultivators’ resources by killing them, but the clothing of these high-ranking cultivators were Magic Treasures. Being personal garments, they were all high-quality items with formidable power. Selling them later could recover some losses.
“`
“Rest assured, fellow Daoists, I will survive with your treasures.”
Li Xiaobai, holding Ji Wuqing, carefully “stripped clothes” along the way, occasionally swiping swords and sabers hanging from other disciples, accumulating a not inconsiderable wealth.
The nine tails by his side kept following him, defending against all attacks from the outside.
“Junior Brother Li, save me…”
As he passed by Situ Baoqi, he heard the latter’s weak voice, as thin as a thread.
The moment Wu Chengjue opened his umbrella, even the disciples in the Heavenly Immortal Realm couldn’t withstand the severe cold. The frost qi invaded their muscles and Dantian, rendering them equally immobile.
“Brother, if you give me all your belongings, I’ll help you.”
Li Xiaobai nodded and said.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation or doubt, Situ Baoqi spit out all the treasures from his Dantian. Shafts of rosy light circled around, and on the ground accumulated a small hill of wealth, his entire savings, in hopes of trading it for his life.
“Junior Brother, save me…”
“Don’t worry, Brother, I’ll erect a tombstone for you at Sword Sect. If you find it too oppressive, I’ll invite some disciples to dance at your grave, making sure you depart happily and contentedly!”
Li Xiaobai said earnestly, gathered all the resources into his bag, and then left with firm steps without looking back.
“Scoundrel… you deceive me!”
Situ Baoqi’s eyes widened in shock. He struggled to sit up but coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pallid.
Continuing to loot corpses along the way, Li Xiaobai saw many familiar faces.
“Brother Li, can you save me? I’m willing to do anything, even dedicate my body!”
Shen Qinghe’s body was mostly covered in frost, with only her delicate little head visible, pitifully appealing.
“I’m sorry, Junior Sister, my upbringing does not allow me to do such things. I’ll also erect a tombstone for you. Go in peace.”
Li Xiaobai took two steps forward and smoothly slid the pair of earrings from Shen Qinghe’s ears, as even Magic Treasures shouldn’t be wasted.
“Damn it, Sword Sect has failed me!”
“After all, it was I who misplaced my trust!”
“I hate, I regret!”
Elder Ouyang glared fiercely at Li Xiaobai and howled to the sky.
“I’ll carve you a stele.”
Li Xiaobai said so and then stripped Elder Ouyang bare.
Li Duanshui: “I won’t give you anything. The clothes on my body are just ordinary wear.”
“I don’t believe that.”
A moment later, Li Duanshui lay in the snow, utterly despondent and stark naked, without even a piece of cloth to cover his shame.
A burly man: “Can you give me a quick death?”
“I cannot.”
Ye Yidao: “To have an epiphany before death is to die without regrets. My famed blade should not be tarnished; I hope it can be taken out!”
Li Xiaobai picked up the saber, didn’t strip him of his clothes, and nodded: “There’s nothing to say, I’ll also erect a tomb for you.”
