I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1019 - : 102

Chapter 1019: 102

“Hmm?”

“Are you famous or something?”

Xu Yuan asked with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

He had sensed something strange about this guy early on, always feeling an inexplicable sense of superiority from him.

“My name is Li Quzhuo!”

Li Quzhuo repeated incredulously.

...

“I’m not deaf. Maybe you have some reputation in some backwater, but here everything must be done by the rules. Don’t tell me you’re from the Heavenly Immortal Realm—even if a Saint Realm expert were to come, they’d have to start by cleaning the latrines!”

“In the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, everyone is equal; no one has any privileges!”

Xu Yuan said coldly.

“Do you know that the occurrence of sword lights on the Second Peak just now was to welcome the return of the Peak Master of the Second Peak?”

Li Quzhuo asked, eyes wide with disbelief.

“Of course I know. That was Brother Li, whom I personally led the team to welcome. But what does that have to do with you?”

“Don’t cause a senseless fuss. Hurry up and clean the latrines, or else I’ll call for someone.”

Xu Yuan glared, speaking menacingly.

“I am Brother Li!”

“The Peak Master of the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, the Great Disciple of Sect Master Ying Diao, Li Quzhuo!”

“Tens of thousands of cultivators stood up to greet me, and yet you don’t know who I am?”

Li Quzhuo couldn’t restrain himself and declared his identity.

“Damn you, how dare you offend Brother Li! Who gave you the courage? Someone, take this man down immediately!”

Xu Yuan erupted into fury. To them disciples, Brother Li was akin to an unattainable Immortal God figure, someone with cultivation level, resources, fame, and more importantly, a heart caring for subordinates and brethren of the sect. For someone to dare impersonate Brother Li right in front of him, the steward, was an outright disregard for the Second Peak; he couldn’t tolerate this!

“Rascal, how dare you insult me!”

“I thought you were a promising talent, but now it seems you are utterly unreasonable. I am Li Quzhuo, the Great Disciple of the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, no doubt about it!”

“How dare a mere Sect gatekeeper block my way. Believe it or not, I can have you imprisoned in the latrines forever!”

Li Quzhuo’s complexion darkened as well. A mere Earth Immortal Realm disciple speaking insolently to him, the Sect’s Great Disciple, was an egregious offense of disrespect!

The Immortal Yuan Power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm burst forth from his Dantian. A longsword materialized in his hand and he chopped downward fiercely, aiming straight for Xu Yuan’s neck.

“Azure Mountain Sword Intent!”

But within a second, his motion froze abruptly, as several flying swords shot towards him, forcefully blocking his Sword Intent.

Immediately after, several beams of sword light pierced the sky from the Second Peak, accompanied by loud shouts: “Who dares to cause trouble on my Sword Sect’s Second Peak?”

Several white-clad sword immortals stepping on thin air floated over, shielding Xu Yuan.

Nowadays, Xu Yuan’s status was completely different. As the Chief Steward of the Second Peak and a favored man by Li Xiaobai’s side, he was someone who must not be offended.

Furthermore, considering he had control over all matters on Sword Peak, if he were accidentally hurt and lost control, it could throw the Sword Sect into chaos.

If they lost control over Tangneng First-class and the Quality Store, where would they go to cultivate? For both public and private reasons, they had to protect him; they couldn’t let the steward suffer any harm!

However, when they clearly saw the face of the person before them, their expressions changed instantly, and they couldn’t help exclaiming, “Great Disciple!”

“I never thought there would still be people in the Sword Sect who recognize me!”

“You know, I was almost executed by this so-called steward!”

Li Quzhuo said coldly. He did not recognize the few disciples in front of him, but they looked somewhat familiar; he speculated that they might have been cultivators who had practiced together within the sect at one time.

“It’s been three years, Brother Li. I trust you’ve been well. Steward Xu, this is all just a misunderstanding. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk this over slowly.”

A few cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm touched their noses, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

Being able to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm meant they had been in the Sword Sect for quite some time and naturally knew Li Quzhuo. However, back then they were just underlings, and Li Quzhuo was already at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Their brief interactions were not enough to be noticed by him.

They never imagined that upon meeting again, it would be under such circumstances. The Second Peak had undergone a major transformation and changed leaders. Within the span of three years, everything had changed. If this once great elder brother still acted as if he could do whatever he wanted within the sect, he would suffer a great loss.

“Third, fourth, do you know him?”

“What’s his background, where does he come from?”

Xu Yuan squinted his eyes and asked.

“Reporting to Chief Steward Xu, this is Li Quzhuo, the once Great Disciple of the Second Peak. He left the Sword Sect to travel the Central Origin Realm three years ago and has only returned today.”

A few cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm said.

“So, it’s like that. Li Quzhuo, the former Great Disciple of the Sword Sect, impressive!”

Xu Yuan squinted his eyes, saying indifferently.

“However, judging from your behavior just now, it seems you are not quite aware of the situation. The Sword Sect’s Second Peak now has a new Peak Master. Under the leadership of the new Peak Master, we have been able to prosper and strengthen!”

“Considering it’s your first offense, and there are some reasons for your behavior, we won’t punish you. Go back and rest well. If you wish to practice in the Second Peak, start by working in the latrines.”

Xu Yuan spoke blandly, showing no regard for Li Quzhuo’s identity and continuing to speak for himself.

“A new Peak Master?”

“Who is it, call him out for me to see!”

“I want to see who has such ability that they can force every cultivator entering the Second Peak to work as a Poop Scooper in the latrines!”

“And you, you cur who relies on others’ power, I thought the Second Peak was flourishing now, but I didn’t expect it to become a place where few have the final word. The resources on this mountain peak—no doubt that so-called new Peak Master has been skimming off the top!”

“What are you all waiting for, seize him immediately! I will explain everything to our master. Perhaps by solving one of the sect’s big problems upon my return, I can be considered to have made a contribution to the Sword Sect!”

Li Quzhuo’s eyes bore a sinister look, and his words were filled with murderous intent.

“This…”

“Brother Li, we haven’t seen each other for three years, let’s go to the Sect Master first.”

A few cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm said, avoiding eye contact.

Provoking Li Xiaobai was akin to suicide, wasn’t it?

Just thinking of the scene where Senior Xiao Lao Di and a group of Half-Saint Cultivators swaggered about filled them with deep fear.

“Are you also afraid of this new Peak Master?”

“I would like to see for myself who is so impressive as to command such a sense of menace.”

“Tell me, who is he!”

Li Quzhuo was furious, and it was clear that these disciples had taken the side of the mysterious new Peak Master. What kind of person was he, to quietly have such an influence and change a whole proper cultivator?

When everyone was bewildered, a faint voice entered their ears.

“The new Peak Master, it’s me!”
