I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 461: Count me in for 462.

Chapter 461: Count me in for 462.

Ancestor Huorong spoke with an indifferent tone, as if he truly regarded the Fire Qilin Saint Child as his successor.

If the Saint Child remained untroubled, he would continue to let him grow, but should he suffer an injury or urgently need to break through, the bloodline within the Saint Child would become his aid.

Originally, he had wanted to use the rivalry among the Fire Qilins to have one Saint Child devour the other three, acquiring an even more complete bloodline power, but the situation was urgent and he could not wait any longer.

Wang Ba and his companion were completely dumbstruck. As Protectors, they were chosen from many experts in the Fire Qilin Cave by the Ancestor’s directive to guard the safety of the Saint Child, even taking pride in their role as Protectors.

Now someone had told them that this was all a deception from the beginning. The so-called rivalry among the Fire Qilins was just rearing a gu, deciding the strongest to make it convenient for Ancestor Huorong to devour.

For a moment, they felt bitterness suffuse their hearts.

“Hehe, you probably don’t know that the previous generation of little Kylins also seemed to have been devoured by your Ancestor. It was because he devoured those little Kylins that he was able to snatch a wisp of Immortal Spirit Qi from so many experts,” said the Qi Sect Ancestor, revealing the truth mercilessly with a burst of laughter.

“Cough cough, you two have done well, fulfilling your duties under such circumstances without leaving the Saint Child’s side for even a moment, proving your loyalty. Upon returning to the Fire Qilin Cave, the Ancestor will bestow upon you the supreme secret of the Qilin Treasure Technique,” Ancestor Huorong spoke slowly. Having been nourished by the Qilin Bloodline Power, he had begun to recover and hoped to return to his peak condition with the help of Heaven and Earth Treasures before the release of the Immortal Spirit Qi.

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

Wang Ba and his companion’s eyes flickered with delight—the secret technique personally passed down by the Ancestor was definitely a treasure! If they were to master it, their strength would surge immediately. In this world, where might was right, compared to that, it wouldn’t matter so much if the two Saint Children died.

“Ancestor, please rest assured, we are willing to swear by our Dao hearts that we will not reveal a single detail about today’s events!”

“Hmm, the Ancestor does not doubt your loyalty. The Fire Qilin Cave will not treat you unfairly.”

Ancestor Huorong was very satisfied with their attitude, as his inner injuries were being nourished and repaired, and his mood was good.

“Then, my fellow Daoists, I will take my leave first to heal my wounds.”

“Farewell, Dao friend!”

“We wish Dao friend a speedy recovery.”

“We shall reconvene at the struggle for the Immortal Spirit Qi.”

The other ancestors laughed heartily; they planned to seek opportunities deep in the frontier next. The frontier was where the Ancient Battlefield had transformed, and perhaps there were some things they did not know still remaining there.

Moreover, they still harbored covetous thoughts about this Li Xiaobai, wanting to settle down first before finding an opportunity.

“Vice Leader, the journey has been hard on you. How about you come with me to the Holy City for a little rest?” Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

“That would be fine. There are some matters for which I hope Young Master Li can provide clarity,” agreed Liuren, who did not refuse and casually lifted the suppression on the first battlefield.

“Please trouble the Vice Leader to bring along these experts from the first battlefield. The secret that I need to discuss is somewhat connected to them,” said Li Xiaobai slowly, pointing at Mei Changqing and Cangying. He was never stingy in using the method of flaunting powerful support.

With Liuren presiding over the matter, he believed any secret could be uncovered.

“Kid, don’t forget to bring along this old beggar too, my treasure is exhausted, and the old beggar can’t fly!” The old beggar quickly spoke up after listening to their vivid conversation, knowing he had past grudges with the ancestors here. Now that his treasure was spent, he wouldn’t be able to fend off the ancestors if they attacked together.

“It’s but a trivial effort,” said Liuren, patting Li Xiaobai on the shoulder while simultaneously grabbing Mei Changqing and Cangying as if they were little chicks in his palm, transforming into a streak of light that vanished from the spot in an instant.

Only an utterly befuddled elderly beggar was left behind.

The many old ancestors present exchanged glances, all breathing sighs of relief.

“Damn it, he’s finally gone.”

“That damn Tianji Zi, luring us here with deception, it was a close call that we didn’t end up dead!”

“Exactly, we’ve been scared witless here, and yet that old geezer profits from it – the sales of Immortal Spirit Daily are probably going to hit new records, huh?”

“But, fair’s fair, Li Xiaobai is brimming with treasures. Earlier, his release of the Sea Clan was intricately linked to him, and now he’s summoned the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, and its Artifact Spirit is even no weaker than us. The treasures on him must be far more than what we’ve seen.”

“This lad has a big secret. Now that he’s under the protection of the Eastern Sea, if we want to investigate, we’ll have to look for another opportunity.”

“Li Xiaobai may be gone, but Elder Tianwu is still here. Don’t any of you have any ideas?”

An old ancestor looked maliciously towards the elderly beggar. It was this rascally old thing, without any sense of shame, who snatched the Immortal Spirit Qi that rightfully belonged to them not once but thrice.

It could be said that because of him, the average combat strength of the Immortal Spirit Continent was dragged down.

“This thing’s body has too much Immortal Spirit Qi; we probably can’t kill him.”

An old ancestor muttered under their breath.

“If we can’t kill him, then we beat him half to death. This old codger has hoarded too much Immortal Spirit Qi and can’t use his cultivation level. If not now, then when!”

“Attack, for me!”

The group of old ancestors, faces twisted with malice and remembering the fear of being dominated by him, felt a surge of inexplicable rage. They swarmed over him, fists and feet flying, and instantly had the elderly beggar rolling on the ground in urine and feces.

“Damn it, you bunch of old men, jumping an old beggar in his hundreds, have you no sense of martial ethics!”

The elderly beggar howled miserably. Though the Immortal Spirit Qi protected his body from fatal injuries, it couldn’t prevent bruises and cuts. He didn’t have Li Xiaobai’s Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pill and could only roll on the ground.

“Old Song, come quickly and save me. Together, we can take them down!”

The elderly beggar called out to Song Que, who was leisurely tidying up his clothes.

But in the next second, he was stunned.

He saw Song Que put away his dagger into his bag and then walk over with a slightly unsteady gait and a face full of sinister smiles.

“Elder Tianwu, who would have thought you’d have a day like this.”

“Seniors, count me in!”

In the Holy City, within the grand hall.

Steam rose and heat waves rolled. Yang Guang and others were all soaking in the huge bathhouse with expressions of utter relaxation.

“The oppressive might of the first battlefield has disappeared; it looks like the results are in.”

Yang Guang spoke slowly. Since several hours ago, he had felt a power so fearsome that it made his soul shiver – a terror that could kill him with a mere glance.

But he remained unflinchingly confident. In his view, with Li Xiaobai leading two old ancestors to the first battlefield, no matter how powerful the enemy, they would be crushed.

“Yeah, that kid should be coming back!”

Ergouzi even started to hum a tune. It was already picturing Li Xiaobai returning with a string of Qilin Divine Beasts, ready to help it break through its cultivation level. The mere thought was exhilarating.

Just then, several figures slowly walked into the hall.

“Folks, I’m back.”
