Chapter 1336: Chapter 1337: You Cannot Kill Xueshenzi

Two black-robed disciples pinched their Seal Spells, deploying the power of Immortal Yuan to open the entrance to a small world, as a Spiritual Power Vortex emerged, subservient in the void.

Li Xiaobai expressed his thanks, then stepped into it as if treading on familiar ground.

To him, Beichen Feng was also a mysterious figure. Perhaps it was precisely because they had met face-to-face that the mystery deepened since each encounter revealed nothing about the other, while Beichen Feng seemed to understand everything about him.

Upon entering the small world, a realm within itself was revealed, where birds chirped and flowers blossomed, swallows danced and orioles sang, and it was perpetually like spring, radiating a tranquil and harmonious scene.

Initially, Edward mentioned that the scenery of the four seasons within this small world was closely linked to Beichen Feng’s state of mind; hence, the current scene of birds chirping and flowers blossoming likely indicated that his mood was quite pleasant.

“I have seen Young Master Li!”

“People often say that one should look at others with fresh eyes every three days, which I thought was merely an ancient jest. However, this saying truly applies–you, Young Master Li, are the best proof. Every reunion with you brings endless surprises!”

With hands clasped behind his back, Edward stood at the entrance of the small world to greet him, his face brimming with smiles.

This chubby elder always wore a gentle smile and had been assisting Beichen Feng with paperwork and cases within the Secret Realm. It was surprising to see how well-informed he was about Li Xiaobai’s matters as well.

“Oh, where, it’s all but mere luck. It seems that Helmsman’s mood today is quite good, isn’t it?”

Li Xiaobai asked cheerfully.

“Naturally! The Helmsman is a paragon of the Confucian Path, inherently incompatible with Demon Sects. This time, Young Master Li, with your own strength subduing Demonic Beasts and vanquishing Demons, has truly relieved a great burden from the Helmsman’s heart!”

“Young Master Li, you indeed have divine abilities!”

Edward said with a smiling squint in his eyes, but inside, he was even more astonished. The last time he saw Li Xiaobai, the latter was being hunted globally by the Great Thunderclap Temple from the Buddhist Sect. In just a few months, not only had Li Xiaobai managed to eliminate the Power of Faith from the Buddhist Sect, but he also fiercely confronted the offensive of the Blood Demon Sect and utterly crushed it.

Such progress couldn’t just be described as Godspeed–he was even starting to doubt if the Li Xiaobai he met before was in disguise, perhaps a max-level bigshot playing in the human world with a novice account!

“It’s nothing more than lifting a finger, not worth mentioning!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand dismissively and followed Edward to the familiar straw hut.

“The Helmsman is inside; Young Master Li, please go in by yourself.”

After leaving these words, Edward turned and left. Li Xiaobai watched the chubby figure, a flash of contemplation in his eyes. He felt that this chubby elder was no simple character, seemingly never flustered or surprised by anything. How could someone who regularly issued tasks from the Helmsman’s headquarters be an ordinary person?

Shaking his head, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

“Helmsman, the junior has come to visit. I wonder if there are any instructions from the senior?”

Li Xiaobai cupped his fists and greeted with a chuckle. Inside the hut, the furnishings were the same as before: an ordinary dwelling, a shrine, the back of an elder, a meditation cushion, and an incense burner with curling smoke.

However, his mindset was now utterly different. With the Godzilla corps at his command, he feared nothing, not even the Divine Child of the Blood God. Beichen Feng might stand at the pinnacle of the Central Origin Realm, but he now had the capital to communicate with him on equal terms.

“There’s no instruction, per se. It’s just that I haven’t had someone to have a chat with in a long while. I wanted to find someone for a chat, only to realize that all the people I know are gone–those older than me are no more, those younger have also passed, leaving me a solitary figure. After much thought, it’s only you, this junior, who is pleasing to my eye. Might we share some words together?”

The figure wrapped in quilts trembled with laughter, clearly very delighted, his mood joyous like never before.

“To converse with a senior is indeed an honor for the junior. I am certainly willing.”

Li Xiaobai said with a cheerful smile, not behaving reservedly, casually pulling over a cushion and sitting down with a bold posture.

“However, since the senior has invited me for a talk, shouldn’t one reveal their true face?”

“Hehe, the old man does not show his true face for there are reasons. Just a skin, nothing pleasing to the eye!”

“Today I invited you here to commend you for Sword Sect becoming the number one sect in the Central Origin Realm. With all sects paying homage, it is truly a sight that swallows mountains and rivers whole!”

“Who would have thought that a junior like you could command an army powerful enough to contest the Blood Demon Sect and even vanquish it? And who would have imagined that an ordinary, previously obscure sect could rise overnight, becoming the object of veneration and tribute by numerous Super Sects?”

“Today, I have invited Young Master Li to inquire about how many of those Saint Realm Demonic Beasts named Godzilla do you have in your possession?”

Beichen Feng said with a chuckle.

It sounded cheerful, but to Li Xiaobai’s ears it was not so simple. The fact that the other party, situated in the Eastern Continent, knew so clearly about the affairs of the Western Continent and knew the name of his Demonic Beast, Godzilla, indicated that his actions had been under surveillance all along, thoroughly understood.

“As many as you want. The number is not a problem. If the senior is interested, you may seek out Xueshenzi. Just force him out, and I will flatten him immediately!”

Li Xiaobai responded with a laugh as well.

“Hehe, Xueshenzi is not so easy to kill, and that is exactly why you have been summoned today!”

“Perhaps you think possessing an army of Saint Realm Demonic Beasts is enough to dominate the Central Origin Realm, but I must tell you, you cannot kill Xueshenzi, nor should you!”

Beichen Feng’s tone shifted as he spoke leisurely.

The pace of the conversation quickened. Li Xiaobai looked around, seeing no unusual changes, which suggested that the old man’s mood was still as pleased as before.

But why prevent him from killing Xueshenzi?

“Why does senior say so?”

“As long as Xueshenzi remains in the Saint Realm cultivation level, he can be killed!”

Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes and questioned, sensing a whiff of danger.

“Because you can’t kill him!”

“Moreover, if you were to kill him, the Central Origin Realm would face true devastation!”

“Allowing Xueshenzi to dominate the Central Origin Realm is key to peace in the world. If he were to fall from power, that is when the real turmoil will erupt. I know how you acquired your Demonic Beasts; I may not recognize your Saint Realm Demonic Beasts, but I do recognize the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Someone is backing you, but in the end, you are merely a pawn, already within a killing game. One wrong step, and you will be condemned for eternity!”

Beichen Feng said slowly, his voice still as smooth as jade, comforting like a spring breeze. It seemed as if he were merely having a casual conversation with a friend, but the words were perplexing to Li Xiaobai. Had he not known the other’s identity, he might have thought the old man to be obscure on purpose!

The Blood Demon Sect roams unchecked; retaining this malignancy is the true disaster. Why then does the other party claim that killing him would lead to true chaos in the world?

“Senior, what do you mean by this? By killing Xueshenzi, I, Li Xiaobai, will reign supreme, ensuring an era of peace. Where does the talk of chaos and devastation come from?”
