Chapter 1135: Chapter 1136: Assassination
Liu Jinshui slapped his chest, promising the world with his fast talk, which was incredibly unreliable.
Not a soul believed a word he said, for as long-standing brothers, they knew each other all too well. Among them, Liu Jinshui and Li Xiaobai were the most likely to pull a fast one.
It is truly said that while you can guard against all possibilities, guarding against a traitor in the ranks is the hardest. With the two of them around, they needed to be on their utmost guard, or else there was no telling where they might be duped.
However, Liu Jinshui had long been prepared, creating a set of flawless fake accounts, so like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, there was nothing they could do but to split the remaining money.
“Let’s split it evenly, in total it comes to 1,170,000 for each person.”
“Let’s round it off as the eldest sister decides, 1,200,000 for each person, and the residual goes to Liu Jinshui. No objections younger brother, right?”
Su Yunbing made a quick decision on dividing the money and turned to Liu Jinshui to ask.
“No problems at all, no problems whatsoever. However, the eldest sister decides to split, we’ll split!” Liu Jinshui said cheerfully.
He had been embezzling since he started registering the accounts. During the event, when someone reported five million, he would only record three million; if they reported ten million, he would arbitrarily write down between five and seven million, pocketing the rest.
If properly tallied, the total transaction volume had definitely surpassed two hundred million. Yet, to his own greed’s surprise, even after skimming a considerable amount, there was still so much left—eighty million. Hence, he had the thought of cooking the books a bit more to skim off the top, but since they discovered it, he didn’t care anymore. He had already made more than enough.
His dream of wealth to rival nations was not far off.
He pulled out a handful of Space Rings, placing them before everyone. Each ring contained a million top-grade Immortal Stones. Li Xiaobai took twelve rings; without lifting a finger, he earned tens of millions of top-grade Immortal Stones, feeling extremely pleased.
The brunt of the risk was borne by the Golden Blade Sect and Liu Jinshui. Less was still less, but having Liu Jinshui as brother meant there’d be meat to feast on.

“Tomorrow at noon is when we will take away Long Xue. I fear that Ice Dragon Island will not let this go lightly. Younger brother, do you have any strategies?” Ye Wushuang looked at Li Xiaobai and asked.
“Meet force with force, cover water with earth. If tomorrow can go smoothly, then well and good; if Ice Dragon Island intends to obstruct, I will have to resort to force.”
Li Xiaobai said, his net worth was thirteen billion, and throwing out a Saint Realm Godzilla was enough to cause significant trouble for Ice Dragon Island. He came alone and feared nothing—fight if he could, run if he couldn’t. But the Island Master and the Great Elder couldn’t do the same. This place was their lair, with many considerations to juggle; unable to fully unleash their power, they held no great advantage in a protracted resource war.
Moreover, he had the mysterious elders Yitilou and Yan Zuzi on his side. If he could win their assistance, rescuing Long Xue would be no difficult task!
“It’s a pity that only Half-Saint Realm Elders from our races came this time, while Saint Realm powerhouses do not leave home lightly and have not arrived in person. Otherwise, they might have lent a helping hand.”
Yang Chen sighed, knowing that against Saint Realm, whether at the Heavenly Immortal Realm or Half-Saint Realm, they seemed somewhat impotent.
“Exactly, to deal with such top-tier powerhouses, we need other top-tier powerhouses to intervene. We juniors can hardly make a difference.”
Ling Feng also said, unconsciously casting glances at the two elders beside them, clearly implying: can you really bear to watch us be bullied by Saint Realm powerhouses?
But as soon as these words were uttered, Yan Zuzi suddenly interjected, “That’s not right. There’re not just three Saint Realm powerhouses from Ice Dragon Island on this island. Based on my perception during the day, there should be no fewer than six.”
“Indeed, there are six, all gathered together. Though they concealed their tracks, I could still faintly sense their subtle auras.”
Yitilou spoke, thinking the powerhouses gathered from the Super Sects to preside over the event earlier in the day. After sensing no familiar auras, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now the juniors’ conversation revealed a critical clue.
With only three Saint Realm powerhouses from Ice Dragon Island, if the other Super Sects hadn’t sent anyone, where did these six extra Saint Realm come from?
“Could Ice Dragon Island be secretly plotting something?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Six unexpected Saint Realm powerhouses on the island would unsettle anyone, let alone Li Xiaobai who was preparing for a direct conflict with Ice Dragon Island.
“Six of them?”
“The situation is dire!”
Li Xiaobai frowned as the situation suddenly grew more complicated. The origins and intentions of these six newcomers and their relationship with Ice Dragon Island, what sect or power they hailed from—all of these were unknown.
“In fact, there’s one more thing I’ve wanted to say since earlier.”
Yitilou spoke, “There are many people outside our door right now, all of them at the Half-Saint Cultivation Level.”
Yan Zuzi also nodded, meticulously counting on his fingers, “Exactly seven, all practicing ice attribute Cultivation Techniques.”
At these words, the room fell deathly silent.
Li Xiaobai’s gestures halted, and the others stopped what they were doing, collectively holding their breaths, their eyes wide with shock.
Such crucial intelligence, and they waited until now to mention it?
Dammit, if you noticed it, why didn’t you say it earlier? Now they’re at our doorstep, and you tell us?
Seven Half-Saints, all skilled in ice attribute techniques—undeniably, Ice Dragon Island had made a move, probably arranged by the Great Elder!
They knew the other side wouldn’t let things slide, but they didn’t expect them to act so swiftly. In less an hour, assailants had come knocking, clearly impatient for Li Xiaobai’s demise.
“Will the senior make a move?”
Li Xiaobai looked at Yitilou and asked.
“It would be a bit difficult to kill seven in silence.”
Yitilou frowned, suggesting some complications.
Li Xiaobai instantly understood and with a flip of his wrist, pulled out two packs of Huazi and handed them over, “And now?”
“That’s no trouble at all. Just Half-Saints, killing seven in one fell swoop is no problem.”
“Whether they’re left entirely incapacitated or halfway so is up to you.”
Yitilou’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled heartily.
Li Xiaobai’s eyes emitted a cold glint, “Leave one alive to lead; kill the rest.”
“Got it!”
Yitilou tiptoed to the door, waiting for the opposition to strike first.
Inside, it was silent. Outside, it was just as quiet—the calm before the storm.
A moment later.
Perhaps sensing the vigilant atmosphere inside, the individuals outside couldn’t help but make the first move.
A smoking pipe silently pierced through the paper of the door and slowly extended inside.
Seeing this, Yitilou intentionally took a few steps in front of the door, making a slight noise. In the next second, a slender silver needle, as if having eyes, shot straight toward his face.
“Hehehe, child’s play.”
Yitilou opened his mouth, bit the silver needle, and chewed it before swallowing.
“Anymore?”
