I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 439: 440: Mini Kingdom of Women

Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Mini Kingdom of Women
In the void, the chilly white jade palace drew ever nearer, almost hovering directly above the first battlefield without a hint of deference for the borderlands.

The palace loomed from above, as if it were scorning the entire borderland battlefield, indifferently observing everything below.

At this moment, the cultivators in the first battlefield were in complete chaos. The sudden appearance of this mysterious palace in the void sent chills down their spines, and merely making eye contact with the palace made them feel as if their hearts were shattering with fright.

It was certain that the palace in the void had been refined into some kind of extraordinarily powerful Magic Treasure.

“What’s happening?”

“Enemies, it’s the enemy, the enemy is attacking us!”

“Beyond Flesh Mountain, where would an enemy come from? This must be the abode of some great figure. I’ve heard that the travels of great figures are always conducted with impressive prestige!”

“Stop guessing, it’s the enemy that’s come. I can feel the murderous intent. Trapped in the borderland battlefield, we have nowhere to escape to. If they start a massacre, not one of us will get away!”

“Hurry, find the City Lord! Only the City Lord has the power to deal with beings of this level!”

The cultivators spoke in fear. The unknown was the most terrifying, especially such a strong unknown presence.

In front of the tent, Mei Changqing stared unbelievingly at the White Jade Palace in the sky.

“Mini Kingdom of Buddhism, Great Divine Power from the Buddhist Sect, it seems the rumors are true. That madwoman has something going on with Monk Xuan Ku, and she even mastered such a powerful Divine Skill!”

“I just didn’t expect her to be so crazy. All this commotion for a few female cultivators, bringing the entire Cold Moon Palace here!”

“It looks like today will not end peacefully.”

Mei Changqing murmured, his eyes growing completely cold. He wanted to avoid conflict, not because he was afraid, but because he also had his trump cards in the first battlefield. If need be, he could open the altar again, communicate with that being, and use the Immortal Spirit Qi to forcefully suppress Ling Xue’er!

“Who dares to provoke the first battlefield in the borderlands!”

Within the battlefield, a thunderous shout suddenly erupted, and a streak of light shot up towards the Cold Moon Palace in the void.

“How noisy.”

From within the palace in the void, an indifferent voice floated out, as a hand as white as feathered wings appeared out of thin air. With a simple pinch, that streak of light was crushed, flicked by a finger. The person then spewed blood from the mouth and was sent flying backward.

“Cang Yi!”

Below, Mei Changqing’s face changed, surprised by Cang Yi’s impulsiveness and direct collision with Ling Xue’er. However, this interaction made it clear to him that pleading for leniency was likely futile today.

Next to him, Saint Child Huo Yun and Saint Child Huo Yuan exchanged glances, then both turned toward the palace in the void and spoke out loud.

“Lord Ling, we are the Saint Heirs of Fire Qilin Cave. We are aware of the situation in the first battlefield, and we hope that Lord Ling could give Fire Qilin Cave some face and agree to sit down peacefully to resolve this matter.”

“I believe City Lord Mei will definitely provide a satisfactory response!”

Secretly nodding, Mei Changqing thought that in a critical moment, these two Saint Heirs could be somewhat useful.

But the voice within the palace was full of disdain.

“Saint Heirs of Fire Qilin Cave, does this matter concern Fire Qilin Cave too?”

The cold voice murmured. As these words were spoken, a bad feeling rose in the hearts of those from Fire Qilin Cave. They quickly said, “Not at all. We are merely guests of City Lord Mei, and today we shamelessly act as mediators, hoping we can downplay the severity of this issue.”

“How noisy. Just mere sacrifices, not qualified to converse with this palace!”

Yet another hand emerged from the palace, and with a flick of a finger, their chests caved in instantly. Blood spurted from their mouths as they were sent flying backward, like several flies swatted away effortlessly.

“Who is the City Lord of the frontier’s number one battlefield? Step forward and speak,”

The chilly voice emanated once more, untouched by the mundanity of life, condescending, with an authoritative tone befitting someone of high standing.

Mei Changqing’s expression was rather unpleasant. The other party’s actions were overly domineering, severely injuring the party from Fire Qilin Cave right from the start, and their tone now seemed as if they were issuing commands, which was incredibly irksome.

Nevertheless, the situation had to be resolved. With a flicker of his figure, he floated towards the Cold Moon Palace.

“I am Mei Changqing, City Lord Ling. It has been a long time,”

“Hehe, stop right there. The Cold Moon Palace is not a place for the likes of you to tread upon. Do not desecrate it!”

The chilly voice resonated again, and at the same time, a wave of formless energy spread out, forcibly sending Mei Changqing flying backwards.

“Ling Xue’er, this is the first battlefield, not a place for you to run wild. This City Lord is well aware of your intentions. The main culprits have been captured, and all cultivators involved in oppressing female cultivators have been dealt with. I now hand over the chief culprit to you for disposition. What say you?”

Mei Changqing said coldly.

“We are not in a rush for that. He is destined to die sooner or later, but if anyone dares to play tricks, the entire frontier shall face destruction.”

“And the female cultivators? Bring them to me!”

The voice from within the palace declared, laden with an air of absolute authority.

“Miss Qin Huan, please come up,”

Mei Changqing gestured, lifting the bewildered Qin Huan up towards him and signaled her with a glance not to speak carelessly.

At that moment, Qin Huan was thoroughly intimidated by the mysterious and powerful being in the void.

She had imagined all sorts of grand entrances for this powerful figure, but reality proved that her cultivation level limited her imagination. This ruthless person from Southern Ming directly brought an entire realm with them, transporting the palaces of the Kingdom of Women. The oppression she felt was incomparable.

It was unimaginable what cultivation level someone with such divine means possessed. To call them an Immortal wouldn’t be an exaggeration, would it?

She was overjoyed inside. The stronger the strength of the Kingdom of Women’s ruler, the more they could help her fulfill her wishes.

“Are you Qin Huan?”

The voice inside the palace softened considerably, asking gently.

“Indeed, I am Qin Huan. I thank the senior for going to such great lengths to come to my rescue!”

Qin Huan’s gratitude was genuine. She had never encountered such a kind-hearted figure who would face off against the frontier for a stranger like her.

“It’s a small matter. All female cultivators under heaven are one family. What I detest the most in my life is seeing female cultivators receive unfair treatment, not to mention such disgraceful behavior towards them. Frontier, you’ve crossed the line.”

“Tell me, how are female cultivators treated here?”

The female cultivator’s voice came from within the palace.

“Senior, words are futile. It would be better for you to see for yourself to truly understand. Here, female cultivators are not treated as human beings at all, only as tools for men to vent their desires!”

Ignoring Mei Changqing’s murderous look, Qin Huan respectfully stated to the female cultivator inside the palace.

“That’s fine. Words are indeed the weakest force in this world. Yun Bing, go and see for yourself.”

“Yes!”
