Chapter 812: Chapter 812: 813: Slipped Away

“Is this the Starry Sky Arena?”

“Are you a Listed Disciple now?”

After a brief moment of stupor, Chen Yuan finally reacted, his face filled with shock as he looked at the person before him.

As a grandson of an Elder from the Sword Sect, he was naturally aware of the privileges that came with being a Listed Disciple, but he never expected that this demon head would make it onto the list within just two days!

“Brother Chen, I heard you have some complaints against me?”

Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No, no, no, how could I possibly?”

“I came to know Brother Li through conflict, and I deeply admire your cultivation strength. Anything you need, Brother Li, is up for negotiation, please don’t do anything rash.”

Chen Yuan hastily waived his hands as he spoke.

Joking aside, finding himself on the Starry Sky Battlefield, there was no one to save him, so he dared not be too arrogant.

Damn, the Human Immortal Ranking List in the Central Origin Realm includes only a hundred geniuses, how could this guy make it?

“Whatever help you need, Brother Li, I’ll support you fully from now on!”

Chen Yuan’s face turned a bright red.

“Since that’s the case, then pay the protection fee, and from now on, you are my underling. Here in the Sword Sect, I’ve got your back.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled.

“Er… how much?”

Chen Yuan tentatively asked.

“Three hundred thousand medium-grade Immortal Stones.”

Li Xiaobai declared.

“You’re robbing me!”

Chen Yuan’s face changed. He had already been cleaned out by the other party once, and had only recently recovered by drawing from his small stash. No more, no less, precisely three hundred thousand medium-grade Immortal Stones. If he gave all of it up, he would once again become penniless in the sect.

“What do you think I am doing? Pay up and I won’t kill you. Otherwise, I will beat you up and take your resources anyway,” Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Damn it…Can’t I just pay…”

Chen Yuan was nearly crying. In just a few days, he’d been robbed of more Immortal Stones than a normal person could earn in a lifetime. He hated himself; why did he bring Immortal Stones with him when traveling? From now on, he swore not to carry extra resources when traveling; Li Xiaobai taught him a vivid lesson!

After receiving three hundred thousand medium-grade Immortal Stones, Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, waved his longsword around, unleashed Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, and Chen Yuan immediately fell to his knees, unable to move, and the outcome was instantly decided.

The Starry Sky Battlefield vanished, Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword, and Chen Yuan regained his freedom and immediately ran panic-stricken behind Elder Chen, his eyes full of fear.

“Elder Chen, Elder Sun, the issue has been perfectly resolved. Today, Brother Chen Yuan and I have reached an understanding; from now on, Brother Chen Yuan has my protection and won’t be bullied by anyone. You can rest assured.”

Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Hehe, that’s very good. I am aware now. Today, I will make peace with you, young man, but please keep your promise and from now on, try not to rob my grandson of his Immortal Stones!”

At this moment, Elder Chen’s expression was extremely somber, veins throbbing on his forehead, damn it, who else in the sect would bully his grandson other than you?

Who else dared to bully his grandson?

So you reached an understanding? By forcibly taking three hundred thousand medium-grade Immortal Stones, is that how you make deals with people?

It was unthinkable that this demon head, upon entering the ranking list, would pull such a move, essentially telling him that if there were ever any future issues with the four infamous figures, he could summon Chen Yuan into the Starry Sky Battlefield at any time, a clear and bold threat!

Damn, how could there be such a shameless person in this world?

“Naturally,” Li Xiaobai nodded.

“Now that the issue is resolved, let’s disband. The task of cleaning the toilets must not be neglected—not for a single day. Also, remember, today’s transgression won’t just pass. If you don’t make it into the top fifty of the Human Immortal Ranking List within a month, the Sword Sect will have a score to settle with you!”

Elder Sun said indifferently, his heart quite speechless.

Among those who entered the list, each was an exceptional prodigy, high-spirited and proud. It was unheard of for anyone to be so petty as to use the Starry Sky Battlefield to pull in an opponent and brutally crush them over trivial grudges and grievances.

For these listed prodigies, the Starry Sky Arena is considered a sacred place, used only for battling peers of equivalent stature. It was beneath them to open it for a mere common disciple. How had the Sword Sect ended up with someone as bizarre as Li Xiaobai?

However, having such a domineering and powerful figure among the increasingly pampered sect disciples was not necessarily a bad thing. As long as they could curb his habit of casually slaughtering people, he would be an excellent motivational tool.

The disciples would be stimulated by him and devote themselves more diligently to their cultivation, and sparring with such a young master would greatly enrich their combat skills and real battle experience.

“Understood, a mere top fifty is within easy reach.”

Li Xiaobai said.

“I don’t appreciate bragging; less talk, more action. The Sword Sect awaits your good news,” Elder Sun responded, no longer wanting to speak with this fellow. Unintentional arrogance was the most fatal; he feared he might not be able to resist turning him into a pancake with a slap, and with a twist of his body, he disappeared without a trace.

Elder Chen gave Li Xiaobai a deep look and, along with Chen Yuan, also vanished from the spot.

The remaining disciples around were stunned, the recent scene overwhelming them. A demon head who casually took lives was among them, and now this same demon head had ascended the Human Immortal Ranking List and could pull them in for spars and discussions at any time.

With such a ticking time bomb close at hand, how could they not feel turmoil inside?

“Why hasn’t he left yet?”

“Oh no, he’s looking at us!”

“He’s taken out a Purple Gold Gourd; what is he doing?”

“This is bad, he’s ignoring Elder Sun’s warning. He’s going to strike at us, run!”

The disciples saw Li Xiaobai pulling out a small Purple Gold Gourd and giving them a slight smile, showing off his pearly white teeth. They were petrified with fear. The horrific fates of Xiong Ba and Chen Yuan were still vivid in their minds. Being targeted by this demon head meant no good end!

“If I call out to you, would you dare respond?”

Li Xiaobai patted the gourd and said softly to the disciples in front of him.

In an instant, with a flash of light, more than half of the disciples were sucked into the Purple Gold Gourd before they could even cry out, vanishing from sight.

This left the Earth Immortal cultivators utterly dumbfounded.

“So many Earth Immortal cultivators, but don’t rush. From now on, you’re all mine, and no one can escape!”

Li Xiaobai looked over them, licking his lips with a green gleam flashing in his eyes.

This caused everyone’s scalp to tingle, giving them an eerie feeling.

If this guy was so powerful in the Human Immortal Realm, how would they fare if he ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm?

For a while, many cultivators considered whether they should take a long journey to a dangerous place and thoroughly train for three to five years.

“Time to scoot.”

“Fellow senior brothers and sisters, wait for this junior brother to enter the Earth Immortal Realm before coming to discuss life with you!”

Li Xiaobai withdrew his gaze, pinched a golden talisman in his hand, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

“Damn, he’s finally gone!”

“This thing isn’t easy to deal with!”

“Don’t talk about it. With his talent, reaching the Earth Immortal Realm is just a matter of time. I need to go out and find some perilous place to hide!”

“Damn, I’m heading to the Western Desert. I don’t believe he can cross the sea to strike me there!”
