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

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1087: Breaking 100 Million Sin Value Chapter 1086: Chapter 1087: Breaking 100 Million Sin Value Everyone was horrified. The woman in the private box was even more domineering than the old crone from the Hundred Flowers Sect, killing someone instantly over a mere disagreement. Most crucially, they hadn’t even seen how she had struck. The old crone had simply exploded on the spot.

It was an unimaginable feat.

What level of cultivation did it require?

Half-Saint? Or higher? They dared not consider it any further. The elder from the Hundred Flowers Sect was no weakling, with a cultivation level of a Half-Saint. She had been obliterated immediately, no, she had been destroyed without even seeing the attacker. The mysterious woman in the private box, even if not of the Saint Realm, was surely not far from it, belonging to the pinnacle within the Half-Saints.

Of course, no one stood up for the old crone because she indeed was at fault initially, repeatedly disrespecting the rules of the Ancient Dragon Pavilion and attempting to use the influence of the Hundred Flowers Sect to bully others, trying to conduct the auction at a lower price which is taboo in any auction house, not to mention provoking an expert during the bidding period. It was none other than her own doing that she got blasted.

Moreover, this matter didn’t concern them. Even if there was retribution afterward, it would be directed at the Ancient Dragon Pavilion. In the second floor, many cultivators had already begun contemplating how to annex the remaining forces of the Hundred Flowers Sect on Ice Dragon Island. With several talented members from the sect present and the loss of a Half-Saint leader, if some covert actions were taken to eliminate their sect disciples, it would be a severe blow to the sect.

The Formation inside the box isolated them from outside view. Others couldn’t see the blood-red Sin Value floating above the head of the Second Elder, but Li Xiaobai saw it clearly.

The series of blood-red numbers were dazzling, a pity that they only lasted a brief moment, and dissipated before he had the chance to carefully count how many zeros there were.

“It surpassed a billion, the Sin Value definitely exceeded a billion!”

“This old man must rank high on the List of Villains, definitely in the top ten!”

Li Xiaobai screamed internally. Such a Sin Value made him on par with figures like Xiao Lao Di, and maybe he had even killed a peer of the Saint Realm!

“After all these years, the Hundred Flowers Sect still hasn’t learned, if it were a young and beautiful woman, that would be one thing, but an old hag with a withered face daring to flaunt her charms, whom is she trying to seduce?”

“Elder Zhang’s Xiaohong and Xiao Lu are much better, always so young and beautiful.”

Elder Zhang’s lips curled into a mocking sneer as he spoke indifferently.

“We, sisters, consider it an honor to serve our master in this life.”

Two enchanting women said respectfully.

“Mmm, keep going, it’s very comfortable; do not stop.”

Elder Zhang closed his eyes, once again enjoying the pampering.

“Young Master Han, in the outside world, having three wives and four concubines is nothing unusual. I’ll soon send you a few good-looking virgins; definitely invigorating.”

“Cough cough, no need, such blessings are beyond my enjoyment. Only a supreme hero like you deserves such service.”

“Let’s continue with the auction.”

Li Xiaobai coughed slightly, his face a bit embarrassed. The Dragon Race was innately lascivious, having such desires was perfectly normal; however, he wasn’t a stallion and wouldn’t indulge in such behavior.

On the first floor, within the auction hall, Zong Guolong collected himself, calming down. He waved his large hand, gathering the scattered resources all over the floor. These were the life savings of the old crone from the Hundred Flowers Sect. The Second Elder had just generously handed these to him and his Ancient Dragon Pavilion, a tremendous opportunity indeed.

These items couldn’t be sold, as he planned to keep them for personal use, potentially increasing his cultivation level even further.

“My fellow cultivators, the senior expert from the Hundred Flowers Sect indeed committed a great taboo earlier. Zong had been patient and restrained without any further comments, yet she escalated the situation. Today, she met her deserved fate. I want to emphasize once more that the Ancient Dragon Pavilion, having hundreds of years of history, should not be underestimated because Zong only has a Half-Saint cultivation level.”

“The Ancient Dragon Pavilion, standing tall for hundreds of years on Ice Dragon Island, has a heritage not inferior to any of your sects.”

Zong Guolong spoke with a stern face.

“We understand. The unfortunate demise of the Hundred Flowers Sect was purely self-caused and has nothing to do with the Ancient Dragon Pavilion; we can all testify for the Sect Master Zong.”

“Please continue with the auction!”

The cultivators below were very reasonable and pledged their guarantees solemnly.

“Thank you all for your just words. Since that is the case, today’s auction will continue; the Hellfire just now goes to the predecessor in that private box with a bid of twenty million.”

“The next items up for auction are also relics left by a Half-Saint Cultivator and are the secret techniques of the Icy Frost Sect, comprising three Cultivation Manuals, ‘Icy Ruler,’ ‘Icy Sting,’ ‘Water Demon Explosion.’ For cultivators specializing in Frost Qi, these items are treasures not to be missed!”

The auction quickly regained order, with a maid carrying a tray that neatly displayed the three ancient manuals. Zong Guolong introduced each one; techniques that could be practiced by Half-Saint Cultivators were naturally extraordinary. Even if these techniques weren’t top-tier among the Half-Saints, if they were given to disciples in the Heavenly Immortal Realm to ponder and practice, the benefits would be enormous.

“Starting bid: three million top-grade Immortal Stones!”

“Young man, you just mentioned that you are from the Icy Frost Sect. Aren’t you planning to make a move when your sect’s secret techniques are being publicly auctioned?”

On the Taishi Chair, Elder Zhang spoke leisurely.

“Hiss!”

“Yes, how can the secret technique of the Icy Frost Sect appear at this auction? When I return, I must report this matter properly to the Family Head.”

“This is a Frost Qi technique, a nice item, but it’s a pity I don’t practice Frost Qi, or else I wouldn’t miss it.”

“Elder Zhang, what do you think? It seems that most of the disciples from Ice Dragon Island specialize in Frost Qi?”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, without taking the Icy Frost Sect manuals to heart at all; it was he who had taken them out to sell, so why would he spend money to buy them back?

“A cultivation technique of the Half-Saint Realm is indeed a good thing, but it’s a hot potato. I have always avoided unverified cultivation techniques, not to mention the secret techniques of major sects.”

Elder Zhang said indifferently, not buying into Li Xiaobai’s stance. Li Xiaobai was silent, the old man was sly as a fox, ready to snap up any auction item he fancied, yet completely indifferent to those he didn’t care for.

However, his disinterest didn’t mean others weren’t interested—the auction saw numerous sects vying for the manuals. The Icy Frost Sect might not have the same foundations as a Super Sect but had a considerable history. Securing such a sect’s secret techniques could substantially enhance their strength.

Moreover, they weren’t afraid of the Icy Frost Sect since they were purchasing from the Ancient Dragon Pavilion through official channels. Any complaints from the Icy Frost Sect should be directed towards Ice Dragon Island, not them.

“Four million!”

“Five million!”

“Seven million!”

“Eight million top-grade Immortal Stones!”

Calls of bids rose one after another, but the enthusiasm slowed down drastically after a while.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes whirled and, under the puzzled gazes of two charming women, he slowly stood up and walked out of the private box.

The next second, a calm voice was heard from nowhere, “Ten million, I’ll only offer ten million. If anyone offers more, the manuals are theirs to take!”

The voice spread across the auction hall, leading to a moment of silence followed by an explosive reaction.

“Holy shit, who the hell are you!”

“Bidding just ten million, acting all high and mighty when the big shots with billions haven’t spoken yet, what the hell are you playing at!”

“Why don’t you just ascend to heaven already?”

“Eleven million!”

“Twelve million!”

“Enough talk, thirteen million—wrap it up for me!”
