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

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1294: I, Li Xiaobai, am Back Again Chapter 1293: Chapter 1294: I, Li Xiaobai, am Back Again Ying Diao found himself speechless, the passion and fervor within him completely doused. His disciple had indeed preempted him in everything; even their resolve to face death was fostered under the influence of Li Xiaobai, making him wonder if he was getting too old for his position and should consider stepping down.

The speech he held was quietly tucked back into his pocket without a sound.

“Ahem, you’ve done well, truly worthy of being the number one steward of our sect, quite impressive. I am here today to select some elite warriors to head for the Western Continent Buddha Nation, to uphold the honor of our Sword Sect in front of the world,”
Ying Diao nodded and said.

“Rest assured, Sect Master, I have thought ahead and already selected the elite warriors—three Semi-Saints, one hundred at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, over three hundred at the Earth Immortal Realm, and over five hundred at the Human Immortal Realm, making a total of one thousand cultivators!”

Chen Yuan said cheerfully, oblivious to Ying Diao’s increasingly rigid expression.

Behind him, a thousand people stepped forward and declared in unison, “In place, Sword Sect will toil like dogs and horses!”

The smile on Ying Diao’s face gradually vanished, yet he found he could say nothing. The only thing he could say was that this steward was too perfect, leaving him no room even to choose.

“Only a thousand people?”

“This battle needs at least a hundred thousand from our Sword Sect, otherwise, how can we compete with others?”

“Reporting to the Sect Master, this was all at Brother Li’s request. He mentioned that our Sword Sect’s strength lies in quality, not quantity. Even if we go to battle, we’re not the main force; there’s no need to confront the enemy head-on, we can simply circumvent and flank them from behind!”
