Chapter 1346: Chapter 1347: Once You’ve Entered the Latrine, It’s Hard to Say
“No need for idle chatter. Since the two esteemed seniors today have fallen into my hands, you will abide by my rules and return to Sword Sect’s Second Peak to thoroughly explain the entire matter.”
Li Xiaobai spoke calmly.
These two individuals were the final pieces of the puzzle. Once the secrets of the Central Origin Realm and Xueshenzi were extracted from their mouths, the truth behind the entire affair would be revealed.
“Some things, we old men cannot speak of. I hope, young master, you can understand. However, there is one thing I must clarify: Xueshenzi absolutely cannot be killed. If he dies, chaos will descend upon the world, and catastrophe will arrive.”
Yan Zuzi said faintly.
“Beichen Feng said the same thing, and now you’re saying it too. What exactly can’t be spoken of?”
“Just killing one demon head—can the implications really be so enormous?”
Li Xiaobai frowned and asked. To him, there was nothing unmentionable. Even these two elders were harboring fears, fears greater than their craving for revenge. They were clearly terrified of the entity behind it all!
“It truly cannot be said, cannot be mentioned. Otherwise, one will encounter a tremendous horror!”
Yan Zuzi said gravely. Beside him, Yitilou remained silent. These two were known to fear neither heaven nor earth, patiently enduring a thousand years of imprisonment within the Buddhist Pagoda to break free and restore their freedom. Yet now, they willingly stood guard by their old nemesis, just to fend off an unseen, untouchable terror.
“If that’s the case, then we’ll take them back for now!”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand and spoke calmly.
“Roar!”
Beside him, Godzilla extended a massive claw and hoisted up Yitilou and Yan Zuzi alike, merging into the void and vanishing, heading toward Sword Sect on the Eastern Continent.
“And so, it ends. Captured these minor figures—this Xueshenzi is really slippery. Who knows where his true form is hiding? Once these old geezers are dealt with, I must focus on rooting him out!”
Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, taking a casual stroll around the Underground World.
The remaining Blood Sun Heavenly Eggs had been all but trampled into mush by Godzilla, reduced to a sludge, leaving nothing behind.
After a careful inspection, he found nothing unusual. The creatures hatching inside these eggs were also crushed into indistinct carnage, unrecognizable amid the blood-soaked mess.
[Ding! Host has slaughtered a large number of Blood Sun Heavenly Eggs and is now marked with hatred by the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan!]
The system notification chimed, displaying a line of text on the panel that mirrored the previous message—except this time, it felt exponentially graver.
Previously, trampling a single Blood Sun Heavenly Egg had earned their hatred. Now, after wiping out thousands of them, breaking egg after egg into countless fragments, this grudge was far more intense. Faintly, he felt a sinister gaze boring into his back. He turned sharply, but there was nothing behind him.
Li Xiaobai felt a chill creeping along his nape—a distinct sensation of being watched. Could there be stronger members of the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan still within the Central Origin Realm? Or perhaps this clan didn’t solely exist within this realm?
“Bah, it doesn’t matter—being marked won’t cost me a limb. Once I ascend to the Saint Realm, all demons and devils will bow before me!”
Li Xiaobai shook his head, unbothered by the tension his body betrayed.
“Kid, six-six-six!”
“So many Saint Realm demonic beasts—how’d you manage that?!”
“Did you encounter something miraculous in the Central Origin Realm?”
Ergouzi and his group stared wide-eyed at Li Xiaobai, their gazes fixed in astonishment. It was their first time meeting someone so ruthlessly extravagant.
Catching prey by sheer overwhelming numbers was something they had never seen.
“A mere trifling effort. The likes of Blood Demon Sect are no threat at all!”
Li Xiaobai replied faintly, his figure flickering as a golden war chariot manifested beneath his feet. He led Ergouzi and the group into a streak of golden light that pierced the heavens, speeding toward Sword Sect on the Eastern Continent.
The blood-red formation in the skies dissipated, lifting the oppressive air completely.
On the Southern Continent, cultivators from various sects collectively breathed sighs of relief. Though they couldn’t discern exactly what transpired within the Blood Demon Sect, everyone understood that something monumental had occurred.
The overwhelming blood-red formation blanketing the entire continent was unsettling enough, but that final world-shattering aura had been suffocating in its terror!
Within the Super Sects.
The sect leaders and elite cultivators gathered in small clusters, carefully utilizing their divine skills to peer toward the location of the Blood Demon Sect.
“It seems to have quieted down. Are we safe now?”
“Probably. The blood-red formation in the sky shattered—surely the Blood Demon Sect suffered a major blow!”
“Tell me, who could possess such strength, such ability, to confront the Blood Demon Sect head-on?”
“Who else could it be? Among mortals, only Sect Master Li is capable of matching Xueshenzi’s power. With the Blood Demon Sect’s formation broken, Sect Master Li must have emerged victorious!”
The elite cultivators from various sects fervently debated the fate of the Blood Demon Sect. To be truthful, the spatial distortion that gripped the sect was still more frightening than words could express. Even from afar, one could sense the destructive force lingering there. Countless Saint Realm cultivators attempted to use their Clairvoyant divine skills, yet all efforts were thwarted—the twisted void remained impenetrable. They could only wait for space to normalize before examining it further.
About half an hour later.
Meanwhile.
On Sword Sect’s Second Peak.
Li Xiaobai held a chain in hand, leading a dozen black-robed elders who trailed behind him in single file formation, stopping outside a small grass hut.
“What is this place?”
The leading black-robed man scowled deeply. Even without entering, he could already smell the pungent stench wafting from within.
“This is the Place of Heart Cultivation, specifically designed to foster the spiritual growth of cultivators!”
“You old folks are severely undereducated. Go inside and undergo proper transformation.”
Li Xiaobai tugged the chain and opened the door to the outhouse. The moment he stepped inside, their faces turned a ghastly shade of blue. That rancid smell hit them like a wave, and when they glanced around the room, they saw unspeakable things everywhere. This wasn’t a sanctuary of self-cultivation—this was clearly a toilet!
They’d been dragged into a latrine!
“This is a toilet!”
“Why are we being taken into a toilet?”
Unease churned within the group of black-robed elders, their hearts gripped by an ill omen.
“This is indeed the Place of Heart Cultivation: ‘Untainted amidst filth, purified in chaos; enduring foulness, fragrance naturally emerges.'”
“You all will stay here and shovel dung. Clean this outhouse thoroughly. If you happen to recall any crucial information, report it to me.”
Without waiting for their protests, Li Xiaobai threw shovels and cloths into their hands, then calmly shut the door behind him and left.
These old fools, once so arrogant, needed a proper dose of reality to set them straight.
Outside, Yitilou and Yan Zuzi were taken aside individually. Li Xiaobai asked them, “Do either of you have something to say now? Otherwise, once you’re inside the toilet, it’ll be much harder to speak.”
