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

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1290: Sowing Discord Chapter 1289: Chapter 1290: Sowing Discord The following morning, at daybreak.

Within the Central Origin Realm, the winds rose and clouds churned, as two pieces of staggering news spread, shocking all under the heavens.

“Elder Xueyuan of the Blood Demon Sect was seemingly ambushed en route to various Great Sects, and the prime suspect is startlingly…”

“Within the Pure Land of the Buddhist Sect, the monk Wuyan who persuaded the Great Sects to attack the Blood Demon Sect, mysteriously disappeared near the territory of the Blood Demon Sect. Is this a twist of human nature or a descent of morality?”

These two pieces of news immediately set off a massive uproar within the Central Origin Realm.

Needless to say, the instigator was none other than Li Xiaobai, who had clandestinely released the news, directing the information about Xueyuan to the Blood Demon Sect, and then the news about the monk Wuyan to the Buddhist Sect.

The news spread layer by layer, traversing the entire mainland in just one night.

The two pieces of information did not specify where Xueyuan and the monk Wuyan were exactly, but between the lines, they inevitably hinted at relations to the Blood Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect. Anyone with half a brain could guess that the two sides had found each other’s trail—Blood Demon Sect taking down the monk Wuyan, and the Buddhist Sect suppressing Elder Xueyuan. This was a dramatic one-for-one exchange.

The most distressed was undoubtedly the Buddha Nation within the Western Continent. Originally, there were few capable enough to stand out. Now one of the most crucial powers, the monk Wuyan, had vanished into thin air, leaving Wuyuzi in utter desperation. The Buddhist Sect didn’t have an abundance of monks of the Saint Realm to spare, let alone now that the supply chain of the Power of Faith for the Buddhist Sect had been severed. Losing one meant a significant reduction in combat power.

The disappearance of the monk Wuyan added insult to injury for the Buddhist Sect, which was already in the midst of a great crisis.
