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

“Shut up, you unfilial son! The disgraceful acts you committed on the first battlefield are not shameful enough!”

“Had you confessed earlier, you wouldn’t have ended up in such an awkward position!”

Wang Guan’s eyes were murky. This disappointing son had kept a secret from them, and it was this very secret that likely couldn’t be settled amicably today.

Wang Ling also understood his father’s meaning. Had he revealed everything earlier without any concealment, City Lord Mei would have been able to resolve this matter beforehand, and he wouldn’t have been brought here by Qin Huan.

But there was no medicine for regret in the world, and regardless of whether he had kept secrets or not, the outcome wouldn’t have changed. Designated by the Kingdom of Women, the frontier wouldn’t start a war with supreme powers over a nameless soldier like him, and to eliminate the grudge of the Kingdom of Women, he had to die!

“Miss Qin Huan, today this palace will make decisions on your behalf. You may speak freely and boldly expose the evils of this frontier battlefield, this palace assures your complete safety,” the voice spoke slowly from the void in the Cold Moon Palace.

Qin Huan felt reassured, even though she did not understand the technique, it seemed the powerhouse did not need to leave home to see the scenes within the battlefield. This was better, as it allowed the powerhouse to see the wretched conditions of the female cultivators more conveniently.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Qin Huan’s internal cultivation technique circulated, and she sent out several palm strikes from mid-air, shattering the doors and windows of several houses, making the inside visible for all to see.

Just one glance inside made everyone present shiver uncontrollably, as a wave of dread swept through their very souls.

Mei Changqing and Wang Guan felt their hearts skip a beat, their footing becoming somewhat unstable.

What they saw was true Hell; within the three houses, regardless of which one, every female cultivator was chained up, crawling on the ground like beasts.

Especially the last small stone house – as soon as the door and windows were opened, a foul stench hit everyone. It was merely a concentration camp, with no food or place to relieve themselves; all human functions had to be taken care of inside this small house.

At that moment, the house was filled with dozens of female cultivators, their clothes in tatters, dirty all over, smeared with stinking mucus, as they crawled on the ground, collectively scavenging for the chaff in a small iron basin.

As the doors and windows were forcibly broken, the light from the outside world shone in. The female cultivators inside were terrified, retreating and huddling in the corners, trembling uncontrollably.

Compared to the scene before them, the previous scenes of Wang Ling bullying the female cultivators were nothing.

“A bunch of scholarly scum, the frontier has turned into such a den of filth!”

Su Yunbing’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her giant hammer radiated a brilliant light. The fierce momentum tore through the sky, locking onto Wang Ling.

The cultivators tasked with the imprisonment exploded into a mist of blood in an instant, dying horribly.

“Miss Su, please calm your anger!”

Wang Guan reached out a hand and pressed into the void, pinning Su Yunbing firmly in place, rendering her unable to move.

“Bang!”

Thunder boomed within the Cold Moon Palace, as the entire palace, surrounded by an ethereal celestial light, trembled violently.

A celestial feather turned into a streak of light and flashed, enveloping a supreme authority and smashing down towards everyone.

“Damn, this madwoman has made her move!”

Mei Changqing’s eyes flickered with fear as he circulated his cultivation technique, and clashedishand tooghly against the graceful figure.

With a muffled grunt, he staggered backwards, his complexion slightly flushed.

Not understanding the use of Immortal Spirit Qi, his strength was much weaker than hers.

Mystical Qi swirled around her, a woman in white, clad in silver, stood in the air.

“Yunbing, take these poor people into our Cold Moon Palace and make sure they’re well settled!”

Ling Xue’er’s gaze was indifferent as she spoke slowly.

“Yes!”

Su Yunbing stretched out her hand in the void, uprooting several houses and flying them towards the palace in the void.

These female cultivators had already adapted to a life of imprisonment, and it would take some time for them to step out, so it was not wise to force them out all at once. They had to do it step by step.

“City Lord Ling, this matter has nothing to do with the young men of our frontier. The main culprit, the city lord, has already been handed over to you. Why are you still clinging to the first battlefield?”

Mei Changqing’s eyes narrowed as he said each word deliberately.

Unfortunately, Ling Xue’er had no intention of responding to him but waved her hand:

“Leave no survivors on this battlefield; don’t let a single one escape!”

Within the Cold Moon Palace, a few flashes of light flickered, and four women stood in the void, guarding the four corners of the battlefield. Above the firmament, four towering Demonic Divine Spirits appeared, each embodying spring, summer, autumn, and winter, firmly sealing off the space.

For a moment, on the first battlefield, the sun and the moon alternated, stars shifted, and the seasons changed.

“Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, the four great experts of the Kingdom of Women, have all been brought out!”

Wang Ba’s eyes nearly popped out. Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, the four female cultivators, were pillars of the Kingdom of Women. In the Kingdom of Women, aside from Ling Xue’er, these four had the deepest cultivation.

Each of them was on par with the Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Cave. Although they had not obtained the Immortal Spirit Qi, their strength was still top-notch on the outside.

“Aren’t you afraid that someone will take advantage of the emptiness and infiltrate the Kingdom of Women?”

Wang Ba’s lips trembled a bit as he spoke shakily; he suddenly realized a very practical problem: the world truly operated on strength. The other party had moved a part of the Kingdom of Women here, clearly intent on massacring the frontier.

They wouldn’t care about offending countless powers; their fate was sealed today.

“That’s why I will kill all of you first, and then I’ll make my way back home,” said Ling Xue’er, licking her lips, her eyes starting to look bloodthirsty.

“Do you really think the first battlefield is made of mud?”

“I have been forbearing repeatedly just to settle this matter quietly. You, as the ruler of a country, showed no regard for the big picture. Wanting to massacre the first battlefield is tantamount to helping Flesh Mountain break through the defenses and invade the human race’s homeland. Your heart deserves to be condemned!”

“Today, I will slay you here and let the world know that our frontier is the strongest defensive force of the human race!”

Mei Changqing let out a long howl to the sky, no longer suppressing his strength. The residual Immortal Spirit Qi in his body burst out at that moment, his formidable pressure sweeping across, impacting the souls of every cultivator present.

Feeling the terrifying aura erupting from him, the cultivators in the field were all shocked, except for Wang Guan.

“Mei Changqing, to possess such strength?”

However, the stunning face in the void revealed a captivating smile.

“It seems that a long time of inactivity on the Mainland has decreased the deterrent power of the Kingdom of Women significantly.”

“Is it that you all have become arrogant, or is it that I, the old mother, can no longer wield my sword?”
