BXBX NOVEL Chapter 732: 733: Capture Alive
“Impossible, the energy contained within the Immortal Spirit Qi is extremely pure. How could he possibly absorb it in a single breath?”
“Though that burst of energy was fleeting, there’s no doubt that he’s now a Human Immortal Realm expert among the three realms of Immortals!”
“Could it be that this barbarian’s talent surpasses ours, and that the unenlightened Barbaric Lands could possibly have a cultivator with such aptitude?”
“No wonder all those swine from the Barbaric Lands joined forces to help that youngster seize the Immortal Spirit Qi. It seems that this person must be the one with the highest talent within the Earth Spirit Realm. If he continues to advance, then the status of the Barbaric Lands will rise with him, and it will no longer be in our hands to control their life and death at will!”
“It doesn’t matter, no matter how formidable he is, he is but a novice in the Human Immortal Realm. Once our senior brothers descend, it will only take them minutes to slay him. In the days to come, this Princely Heir will endlessly enslave this world to quench the hatred in my heart!”
The disciples from the Upper Realm displayed varied expressions, their looks towards Li Xiaobai filled with hostility and awe, and even carried a hint of envy and jealousy they themselves hadn’t noticed.
“Kid, did you completely absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi?”
The old beggar bounced out, his face full of shock and uncertainty. Even he hadn’t completely mastered it, yet Li Xiaobai had broken through directly.
“Mere Immortal Spirit Qi, how could it pose a difficulty for me?”
“Mission accomplished; I am now a genuine Human Immortal realm expert on the Immortal Spirit Continent!”
Li Xiaobai smiled slightly, with an omnipotent System, such a result was no surprise to him.
“Take all these Upper Realm disciples away and interrogate them one by one!”
…
In Central Province, within the Sect Main Hall of the Great Sect,
Li Xiaobai, cradling Long Xue, occupied the chief seat, flanked by leaders from various major forces. Dozens of Upper Realm cultivators were thrown into the center of the hall, while a group of old ancestors huddled in one corner, not daring to speak any further.
Now Li Xiaobai was not someone they could contend with. Let alone Li Xiaobai, even the major forces by his side could easily crush them. They had chosen the wrong side, and now they had no choice but to follow orders.
“Speak up, tell us your surname and name, where you live, which sect you hail from, and what is the cultivation level of the experts within your sect?”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently.
“Heh, if you think I’ll tell you the secrets of the Upper Realm, you’re dreaming!”
“Just wait, our fellow disciples from various sects will soon arrive, and then all of you will die. This Princely Heir advises you, if you can kneel and kowtow to beg for forgiveness now, perhaps in a few days, this Princely Heir might leave you an intact corpse!”
The eyes of the princely heir of the Yan Dynasty flickered with a venomous look.
“Hmm? I have now achieved the Human Immortal Realm, may I ask what cultivation level your fellow senior brothers possess?”
Li Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and provocatively asked, seeing that these people all had the mentality of children, obviously having grown up sheltered, having never experienced life-and-death battles, and probably lacking even basic worldly experiences. Their only reliance was their family background.
“Human Immortal Realm counts for nothing. In the Great Sects of my Upper Realm, your cultivation level would at best make you a menial worker. Any brother from my clan could easily crush you like an ant!”
“Just a barbarian pig trying to defy the cultivators from the Central Origin Realm; you have brought annihilation upon these Barbaric Lands!”
The princely heir of the Yan Dynasty said viciously, his words awakening the disciples who were immersed in fear, bringing them back to their senses. Indeed, it was ordinary for them to be weak and captured, but behind them stood immense powers. How could these mere swine from the Barbaric Lands contend with them?
In the end, the ones who would still wield the power to decide life and death were these princely heirs of the dynasties!
“Indeed, I am new to cultivation and among the many senior brothers, I am one of the disciples with the weakest cultivation level, which is why you were able to capture me,”
“But the senior brothers we wait for are not the kind of pigs you can contend with. Should they personally come here, a single glance from them could kill you!”
Having found their backbone and mainstay, the upper realm disciples immediately became bolder.
“Young Master Li, there’s no exaggeration in what Prince Yan said; it’s all true. You have no idea who you’re up against – a towering mountain. Behind each of our races stands a massive dynasty or sect, and you stand no chance,”
“However, I do respect you, sir, and admire your abilities and talent. If you would swear allegiance to the Sword Dynasty right now, when my clan brother arrives, he may spare your life.”
The chilly female cultivator from the Sword Dynasty spoke, and even with her severe injuries and pale complexion, there was still a sense of superiority in her eyes.
Her words to Li Xiaobai sounded as if she was bestowing alms out of great mercy.
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present fell into an uncomfortable silence. Indeed, they may have the upper hand for now, but it was ultimately a false advantage. Once the true powerhouses arrive, the fate of the Immortal Spirit Continent will still be one of inevitable subjugation.
“So, don’t deceive yourself. Renounce your cultivation now and kneel to beg for mercy; the Princely Heir might just spare your life,” said the prince from the Li Dynasty indifferently.
“Woof, you scoundrels! With Lord Ergouzi here, what master or senior brother – I’ll kill one if one comes, and a pair if two come!”
“Woof, kid, stop dawdling, kill the men and keep the women to warm our beds; Lord Ergouzi has taken a fancy to this little miss from the Sword Dynasty!”
Ergouzi was infuriated, never having encountered such an arrogant prisoner.
“Giggle, stupid dog, I’ve already said that these people are for soul-searching. We’re going to steal the upper realm’s cultivation techniques!” Ji Wuqing said lightly.
“Well, since you have no inclination to cooperate, we might as well search your souls.”
“Let’s all share a piece, and afterward we’ll put together the intelligence information.”
Li Xiaobai sighed, gestured dismissively, and spoke indifferently.
The faces of the upper realm disciples changed instantly as they realized the other party was an obstinate youth who didn’t care about their background forces. They were genuinely daring to kill them!
Seeing the crowd surrounding them, their pupils shrank, their faces turned pale, and they suddenly came to their senses: no matter how formidable their families back in the Upper Realm, they were beyond help here. Now, their lives were in the hands of the enemy and in great peril – if the enemy really wanted to kill them, they would be utterly helpless.
A few of the more cowardly disciples hastily said,
“Wait!”
“You can’t do this, it will bring endless crazed revenge!”
“Don’t kill me, young master. Ask whatever you want; I shall hold nothing back and tell you everything!”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to act like this sooner? Why bother at all? I am a kind-hearted person and do not kill indiscriminately, unless I cannot help it.”
“Speak up, who are all of you, and what’s the situation in the Central Origin Realm?”
Li Xiaobai spoke calmly; he had no intention of killing. On one hand, soul-searching only yields fragmented memories, which are quite incomplete, far less than the rich information obtained from interrogation.
On the other hand, he already had a vague plan in his heart – the disciples captured today might just become his first pot of gold to wealth and establishment in the Upper Realm!
