I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 319: Chapter 320 Shatter the Skies
Translator: 549690339

The golden monkey head was extremely irritable, becoming even more violent after breaking away from the minor world.

It leapt and bounded among the clouds, emitting dazzling golden light, with divine radiance spilling from its eyes, staring intently at Central City below.

With a flourish of its golden staff in hand, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle instantly enlarged and smashed down towards Central City.

The massive staff covered the sky, with golden Dao patterns manifesting, and the words “Sea-Calming Divine Needle” clearly imprinted in everyone’s hearts.

“That monkey is attacking us!”

“The Sea-Calming Divine Needle, with such might and such essence of the Dao, it must be a big shot from the Eastern Sea!”

“Where are the big shots from our Central City?”

“When big shots fight, the commoners suffer, we should get out of here!”

Above Central City, the golden giant staff enlarged at a visible speed in the eyes of the cultivators below, with every pattern carved on the staff distinct and its aura bursting forth, making the cultivators below feel as if their bodies were about to collapse.

At the same time, within Central City, more than a dozen Formations rose up, with formation patterns flowing, and powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Power also piercing the sky.

However, upon contact with the golden giant staff, they melted away instantly like snow, crumbling to pieces.

These Sect Protection Arrays were like paper mache in front of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, easily pierced with a single stab.

The golden giant staff did not hesitate for a moment, smashing straight down into Central City.

Several towering Mount Spirits instantly turned to dust.

“How dare you! Coming to Central Province to run wild, may I ask which Vice Leader from Aolai Country this is?”

Several streaks of light shot into the sky, where numerous Divine Demon Spirits stood tall in the void, their hands forming Seal Spells, Dao essence flowing as they forcefully resisted the golden giant staff descending from the void.

The fluctuations of Spiritual Power shook the surroundings; buildings and mountains were leveled in an instant.

A few elderly figures with grim expressions paced in the void, their eyes shining with divine light, seeming to penetrate the clouds and see the golden monkey head above.

Amidst the crowd, Li Xiaobai saw Elder Tianji, looking exactly like the one from the Immortal Spirit Daily. This was his first time seeing the venerable Elder in person, with his celestial bearing, although his face looked extremely grim at the moment.

The rest were elders from various clans, who had awakened the moment the Sea-Calming Divine Needle appeared. They were extremely angry inside; they had been in seclusion to fight for Immortal Spirit Qi, and now they had been forced to come out nearly a year early, causing them to lose a considerable amount of vital energy.

Seeing their attack blocked, the golden monkey head in the clouds became even more irritable, swinging the golden giant staff even more ferociously towards the people below.

The expressions of several elders changed; they hadn’t expected the adversary to show no regard for them, launching an attack without a word.

How deep must the hatred be?

Moreover, the golden monkey head in the void left them somewhat puzzled, as the threat it posed was even stronger than the Vice Leaders from the Eastern Sea, something they had never experienced before.

“Take action, you dare to come to Central Province and wreak havoc, you think we are made of clay?”

“Kill!”

In the void, several Divine Demon shadows threw punches, attacking the golden giant staff in the void in unison. After a moment of stalemate, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle rapidly shrank and was sent flying away.

In the clouds above, the pale golden monkey head was furious, wanting to pick up the staff that was flying away and fight again, but its figure became illusory, turning into a puff of green smoke and vanishing.

The falling staff also turned into a mist of light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Normalcy returned above Central City as if nothing had happened, leaving only a group of stunned powerhouses.

What the heck just happened? The fight just vanished?

They were ready to go on a killing spree on their side, and after performing a combination, everything disappeared—what does that mean?

“Fellows, what do you think? The one who came doesn’t seem to be one of the three Vice Leaders from the Eastern Sea.”

Elder Tianji furrowed his brows and asked,

“Hehe, with your eyes, you see that the monkey in the clouds is merely an illusion, not a physical entity. It’s not a person who’s come, but a stick, and it looks like a show of force from the Eastern Sea. However, the power seems even stronger than before!”

“It’s probable that the Vice Leader’s cultivation level has advanced further. Perhaps he also wants to involve himself in the struggle for the Immortal Spirit Qi and is here today just to hint at something?”

“That’s likely. The contest for the Immortal Spirit Qi is imminent. His presence here is probably a show of force.”

“Alright, this is very Aolai Country.”

A few elders gazed into the void, speaking with grim expressions. They had been forced to come out of seclusion prematurely, and even suffered a loss of some power. What frustrated them the most was that the real body of their opponent hadn’t even shown up; after delivering a series of blows, it vanished without trace, leaving them with no way to respond.

This was just too shameless.

“It’s all these youngsters in the family, making a mountain out of a molehill over trivialities. If only they could discern the reality of the situation carefully, there would be no need to disturb us!”

The forbearers were seething with rage, their resentment having no outlet, feeling very uncomfortable.

Elder Tianji, however, remained quite calm. He hadn’t been in seclusion, nor hiding away. He was always out and about, unconcerned about these matters.

“Waking up is also an opportunity, let’s use this chance to help each family develop properly.”

“I need someone to manage and care for my Immortal Spirit Daily, so I will take my leave first. Everyone, please take care.”

“Take care!”

After speaking, Elder Tianji didn’t put on any airs. With a fist salute, he vanished from where he stood.

…

Half an hour later, the Array Formation Sect was teeming with people.

Cultivators of some significance from all over Central Province had gathered there, specifically at the altar of the tenth Formation in the trial grounds.

They all knew that the golden monkey head had soared to the heavens from this spot and had come to investigate the matter.

The altar at this moment had a huge hole poked through it, and the mini-world inside was completely shattered.

A few elder patriarchs looked down with such grim faces it was frightening. Their lips trembled as they gazed at the lake below.

“Who pierced through this small world?”

“Where is the Sea Clan within the lake?”

“Shall we soul-search, or will you confess on your own?”

An elder directed a chilling gaze at Zhen Tiannan, demanding to know about the Sea Clan leader who had been detained in the lake and was formidable enough to instill fear in them. Now the lake was completely empty, without a single fish scale to be seen, clearly indicating that someone had let them escape.

Zhen Tiannan’s body trembled, and he stammered,

“Junior believes that this matter should start with a cultivator named Li Xiaobai…”

Zhen Tiannan reported in detail everything Li Xiaobai had done since arriving at the Three Sects, and after a thorough explanation, the gathered cultivators were surprised to find that the root cause of all these events seemed to point towards him.

In this small world, only Li Xiaobai and the Mahayana Realm elder had been imprisoned, and the elder’s sect had already used a Secret Technique to confirm his death. Now, the only mystery left was Li Xiaobai.

And after that, the Sea Clan escaped their confines, and golden light erupted from this spot. Could it be that their conjecture about the Eastern Sea was wrong and that all this was actually Li Xiaobai’s doing?

“Find him for me. Even if we have to turn over the entire Immortal Spirit Continent, I want Li Xiaobai’s whereabouts. Issue the highest bounty!”

“Also, pay closer attention to the movements of the Sea Clan. If that suppressed Sea Clan cultivator returns to his kin, he will surely provoke a storm of blood and gore.”

“Understood!”
