Chapter 1138: Chapter 1139: Champion’s Speech

The next day.

At noon.

In the valley of Ice Dragon Island, Li Xiaobai and his companions returned as planned, waiting for the arrival of the Island Master.

As had been stated the day before, today was the day for him to take Long Xue away.

People swarmed all around—standing room only. It was even more packed than the last two days. The cultivators on the island today were also very curious about whether the Island Master would really let the person go or not.

If Ice Dragon Island mishandled this situation and publicly humiliated itself, the stain would be indelible for a lifetime.

Among the seated cultivators, more than half had already contacted their own sects, hoping that the higher-ups would pressure Golden Blade Sect into regurgitating all the resources they had swallowed.

That fat man was truly detestable, actually running away with money under the guise of organizing a gambling event, making everyone furious!

“You guys say, what attitude does Ice Dragon Island hold today? Can Han Buzhu really take Immortal Longxue away?”

“Dream on, Han Buzhu has already killed Long Aotian. If he takes Long Xue too, Ice Dragon Island won’t have any talented individuals left to compete with the super sects.”

“It looks like there will be a good show today. If Han Buzhu insists on taking the Immortal away, Ice Dragon Island will not just sit by and watch!”

The cultivators whispered among themselves.

The drama unfolding today was unmissable. Han Buzhu wanting to take Long Xue away would definitely mean a tough confrontation with Ice Dragon Island. Even though he had won the martial arts competition and had the rightful claim, this place was Ice Dragon Island’s home ground. The final outcome was merely a matter of their word.

Li Xiaobai looked around; the high-level members of Ice Dragon Island had not yet arrived. After a moment’s thought, he stepped up onto the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to your generous support, I was lucky enough to win this martial competition and bring a beautiful bride back for our Gang Leader, Han Buzhu thanks everyone here. After this, whenever you are in the coastal areas of the Southern Continent, feel free to use the name of Icy Frost Sect, everything, including food and accommodation, is on us!”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, taking on a generous demeanor.

“Go to hell, are you proud to spout nonsense after a rigged match? Where’s your shame!”

“Who gave you the guts? Just Icy Frost Sect, and you dare promise to cover all my expenses? Do you know how much I spend in a year? Can you afford that?”

“Get off the stage, don’t spout nonsense!”

“You might be arrogant now, but wait till the Island Master comes, you’ll be crying. Do you really think you can take Immortal Longxue away?”

“Kid, you killed Long Aotian. Ice Dragon Island won’t let you leave alive!”

The cultivators below erupted like fireworks at the sight of Li Xiaobai’s teasing demeanor, instantly enraged by the rigged matches that had caused them repeated losses. Liu Jinshui was detestable for swindling their money, but this guy was equally culpable in group scamming; none could escape blame!

“Only the weak resort to barking. The strong disdain to lose their temper, especially towards those weaker in strength and cultivation level!”

“I, Han Buzhu, victorious in Ice Dragon Island’s martial arts competition, rank as the second among the younger generation here this year. Standing here, I only want to say, everyone present is trash!”

“What? You ask who the first is?”

“That naturally would be our Villian’s Guild Leader Li Xiaobai, a truly unrivaled existence at the same level in the Central Origin Realm. Today, you are fortunate enough to witness not only a member of Villian’s Guild but also the Gang Leader’s wife, which is a blessing from your previous lives. Cherish it well because I am just a legend. My cultivation level is constantly advancing, and the next time we meet, you all will merely serve as my backdrop.”

Li Xiaobai spread his hands and began delivering his speech as the top winner, branding Li Xiaobai’s name before the Island Master had even arrived, and further emphasizing the issue of Long Xue’s belonging.

This is called taking the initiative, and although it might not seem very effective against a powerful force, seizing the moral high ground is undoubtedly beneficial.

As long as everyone understands that he is acting according to the rules today by taking Immortal Longxue away, if Ice Dragon Island refuses to release her later, it will be their own fault, marking them as the wrongdoers and himself as the victim. This move would certainly be seen as acting on justified grounds.

“Damn it, this bastard is so outrageously arrogant. Who’s going down to beat him up?”

“Do you really think you can take Immortal Longxue away? You might not even survive past noon!”

“The Villian’s Guild is nothing; Li Xiaobai is so awesome, come on if you dare!”

In the spectator’s seats, cultivators were nearly driven mad, the person on the stage below was so despicable, and his smug look made them want to hit him.

Damn it, what kind of power does the Villian’s Guild have to produce such weirdos?

“The Gang Leader manages countless affairs; how could he afford to care about you petty people?”

“In the Gang Leader’s eyes, there’s only the Universe, and Ice Dragon Island is merely a stumbling stone on his path forward, so why would he come in person?”

“They say that Ice Dragon Island gathers all the best, but in Han’s view, there isn’t a single competent one among them, which is truly disappointing!”

Li Xiaobai’s face wore a mocking expression, hands clasped behind his back, embodying the loneliness of a master.

“Damn!”

“This guy is insane, ignore him!”

“Right, he probably knows he won’t be able to leave Ice Dragon Island alive today, so he’s acting recklessly!”

“Hmph, Icy Frost Sect really has the guts. No matter the outcome today, my sect will definitely visit Icy Frost Sect afterwards. I hope your sect can be as tough as you then!”

The cultivators’ eyes were chilling and their words spiteful.

The saying goes, ‘the monks can run away, but the temple can’t run with them.’ They didn’t believe they were a match for Han Buzhu personally, but the Icy Frost Sect was only a large sect, with only the Sect Master at Saint Realm level. Among their own sects, many had stronger forces than Icy Frost Sect and planned to exert pressure during a later visit to avenge their honor!

But Han Buzhu wouldn’t have the chance to see this. Thinking that Han Buzhu would soon be killed by Ice Dragon Island cooled their agitated emotions.

They regarded his behavior as a final act of madness.

Li Xiaobai, with a smile curling his lips, would be pleased if they targeted Icy Frost Sect. If they destroyed it, it would mean one less enemy for him, and even better if they took over the harbor, infringing on Blood Demon Sect’s territory, which could precipitate a chaotic melee, allowing him to profit as the fisherman.

“Silence, the Island Master is coming!”

Someone gestured for silence and spoke.

Through the void, a vast number of figures approached, gliding through the air, their white garments fluttering, their aura magnificent. The leader was the Island Master, with the Great Elder following closely behind, and dozens of Elders landed lightly on the stone pillars around the stage like startled swans.

Among the crowd, the Second Elder was nowhere to be seen, vanished to who knows where.

“Apologies for the wait; let me express my regrets to all fellow cultivators.”

The Island Master bowed slightly, her expression neither joyous nor sad. She was aware of last night’s events and had tacitly approved the Great Elder’s actions. However, she had not expected that none of the seven Semi-Saints sent out would return, likely having met with disaster.

The loss of seven Elders blanketed her face with even colder frost.

On the stage, Li Xiaobai saluted with clasped hands: “Island Master, noon has arrived. May I take Immortal Longxue away now?”
