“Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Li. I will pay extra attention to this individual.”

“The battlefield is fraught with dangers. Currently, Flesh Mountain is reviving, its power growing increasingly formidable. If one’s cultivation level is inadequate, it’s very easy to fall into the enemy’s trap.”

“May I ask, what is your cultivation level now, Young Master Li?”

Yang Guang continued to inquire.

Li Xiaobai lit up a cigarette and said quietly, “Invincible.”

Ji Wuqing also chimed in with a giggle, “Hee hee, this sovereign is invincible, come fight if you disagree!”

Yang Guang: “…”

Can’t we be serious for a moment? Is there really such a thing as an invincible being in this world?

Even the Eastern Sea wouldn’t boast like that, would it?

Moreover, even if there were someone invincible, it wouldn’t be your turn!

“Ahem, Young Master Li really has a sense of humor. Those two words, ‘invincible’, best not be mentioned in front of others in the borderlands because you can never know how formidable your enemy might be!”

“This is a lesson learned through bloodshed. Whenever cultivators think they’ve dealt with a powerful being, an even more powerful Flesh Mountain always springs forth. Because of this, the hope in the hearts of the borderland cultivators is being worn down, shattered bit by bit.”

“The battlefield is no child’s play. I hope Young Master Li will take it seriously.”

Yang Guang said with a serious expression.

“I understand.”

Li Xiaobai nodded in response.

“I wonder, to what extent has this Flesh Mountain revived now? Can it match the cultivation level of which realm’s cultivators?”

“The largest piece of Flesh Mountain discovered so far is located at the very depths of the No-Man’s Land in the borderlands. Its strength is sufficient to rival that of a Half-step Human Immortal. I believe Young Master Li has also heard that the Second Leader of the Aolai Country from the Eastern Sea had a fierce battle with a piece of Flesh Mountain in the borderlands but returned without success.”

“The Flesh Mountain he fought at that time is that very piece, and by now, it should be even more powerful. The formidable beings of the human race are researching every day on how to breach its defenses.”

“Most of the other Flesh Mountains are at the level of Great Crossing Realm Cultivators, with a few possessing the energy of the Mahayana Realm, making them exceedingly difficult to eradicate.”

“The battlefields guarded by our four cities are merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Flesh Mountain. We are only repelling those parts that threaten to invade human territories. The real congregation of Flesh Mountain lies deeper in the borderlands’ No-Man’s Land, a place even Mahayana Realm cultivators dare not enter, only cultivators of the Aolai Country’s leaders’ level would dare to venture in.”

“However, the core Flesh Mountains generally do not venture out, so although the pressure on the borderlands is immense, it still falls within a manageable range.”

Yang Guang elaborated on the situation in the borderlands in detail.

“I see. It seems that eradicating these Flesh Mountains is indeed a long and arduous task.”

Li Xiaobai understood in his heart that Flesh Mountain was a colossal entity that lacked a conscious will, acting only on instinct, which gave the cultivators a chance to counter and suppress it.

What we could see was merely the tip of the iceberg; the truly powerful Flesh Mountains were congregated in even deeper regions.

This was actually good news; if one could venture deep enough, the materials for Attribute Points and Hellfire would be in plentiful supply.

However, such an endeavor should not be undertaken rashly; at the very least, the battlefield situation must be settled first.

“Yes, but I believe that one day, we will be able to drive these monsters out.”

Yang Guang stated.

“City Lord Yang is truly noble, always thinking of the well-being of all living beings. I am impressed.”

Li Xiaobai said, chuckling.

“Regarding tomorrow’s contest on the platform, do you feel confident, Young Master Li? Wu De is a disciple from the Devil Cloud Cave of Central Province. Though he may not be top-tier, he still stands among the prodigies, with a formidable cultivation level not to be underestimated.”

Yang Guang asked with a slight nod.

“He’s just a junior, can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist.”

Li Xiaobai said nonchalantly, he wouldn’t even be interested in dealing with the person if not for their aggressive stance.

“Just a simpleton, I could drown him in my spit, not worth mentioning!”

Ji Wuqing also spoke with an air of superiority, but his grandeur didn’t last a second before Li Xiaobai threw him out; this darn chicken was spouting nonsense, not sure who he learned it from.

Yang Guang was speechless, having just said that they shouldn’t underestimate their opponents, why were they boasting now?

And talking about juniors, aren’t you one yourself?

There was a reason why Li Xiaobai was being chased down, he was just too damn irritating!

“Then we’ll see Young Master Li’s performance tomorrow, I’ll help keep an eye out, the competition should stop once a point is made.”

Yang Guang nodded as he spoke.

“Uh-huh, for matters regarding Cangying, I’ll have to trouble City Lord Yang to pay extra attention.”

Li Xiaobai responded with a cheery tone.

Seeing his demeanor, Yang Guang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, was the guy’s heart too big, not realizing the imminent disaster upon him?

“Uh-huh, I need to preside over various matters in the city, so I won’t linger any longer. If you have any questions, just ask Huann’er, and we’ll meet again tomorrow.”

Yang Guang didn’t want to stay any longer, feeling that if the conversation kept going, he might be pissed to death by this guy.

Talking to him was almost like talking to no one at all; despite spilling so much information, Li Xiaobai didn’t give away anything in return.

Truly a slippery kid.

“City Lord, take care.”

Li Xiaobai watched Yang Guang leave, then turned around and threw Yang Huan out of the room; the previous conversation had given Li Xiaobai a sense of crisis.

There were existences in this battlefield that even a Half-step Human Immortal couldn’t handle.

One should know that the title ‘Half-step Human Immortal’ included the word ‘immortal’ because the person had accumulated a bit of Immortal Spirit Qi and could break through to ascend at any time.

Yet such a being was unable to defeat Flesh Mountain, which was a bit frightening!

His own defensive power was only a bit stronger than that of an average Great Crossing Realm Cultivator, and facing Sea Clan bigwigs, the Vice Leader of Aolai Country, and old beggars like them, he still seemed a bit weak.

To truly become invincible in this world, one would need to obtain Immortal Spirit Qi and successfully progress to the next stage of defensive power.

He opened the System interface and casually summoned a strand of Hellfire, beginning to cram it with a vast amount of resources.

[Hellfire (Divine Level skill) Current Range: Thirty meters.]

Now, Hellfire was his strongest means of attack, a Divine Level skill that could grow indefinitely, its power immensely terrifying.

Moving forward in facing Flesh Mountain, this flame would be his main means of attack; he needed to upgrade it as soon as possible.

Outside the house, Yang Huan stood completely baffled.

What just happened?

She was actually thrown out by the big shot!

Considering herself a beauty, not just in looks but also with an aura, countless young talents in the city were captivated by her, so why the heck did the big shot change the script?

Thinking back to how she was tossed out like an object, Yang Huan felt a bit downhearted; was she so uncharming in the eyes of the big shot?

Or was it that the big shot had a preference for men, he didn’t like women at all?

Uh-huh, it must be the latter, it’s normal for a big shot to have a little quirk, she’ll cater to his tastes in the future, perhaps scout some fresh meat!
