Chapter 120: The Powerful Sect Master of Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect
"Let's go, take me to Crescent Moon Pill Tower."
Lan Xiaobu had no flying treasures, and he did not summon Lan Ya.
After arriving at this place, Lan Xiaobu was well aware of Lan Ya's shortcomings.
Although he kept Lan Ya for critical moments, he knew that in the world of cultivation, Lan Ya had too many flaws.
First, any space-restricting formations, even the lowest-level ones, could easily make Lan Ya fall.
This was not particularly frightening as long as he could avoid the formations.
However, the scary part was that Lan Ya could not monitor these space restrictions, and in the cultivation realm, such restrictions were everywhere.
Even in a wild place, as long as someone had cultivated there before, they could have set up a restriction.
When the cultivator left, the restriction would not disappear.
Secondly, Lan Ya could evade and monitor all attacks from hot weapons but could not block magical attacks.
Just imagine, if a cultivator's divine sense detected Lan Ya and launched an attack casually, Lan Ya would crash down.
Flying treasures, however, were different.
As long as they were slightly higher in grade, those low-level space restrictions would have no effect.
As for various attacks, whether from hot weapons or magical ones, they could be blocked by the protective formations of a flying treasure.
Even if the treasure could not withstand an attack for long, it would at least warn you that someone was attacking.
As long as your flying treasure had strong enough defenses, it could block all attacks.
Even though the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect was poor, they still had flying treasures.
As the sect master, it was easy for Lan Xiaobu to claim one.
However, the defensive capabilities of flying treasures were low, and their speed was slow.
Lan Xiaobu simply summoned his giant axe and flew towards White Feather Immortal City with Xuan Fu riding on it.
Standing on the giant axe, Xuan Fu felt a mix of fear and excitement.
The axe looked large, but once he stood on it, it felt small.
Moreover, while flying through the air at high speed, Xuan Fu worried he might fall and get hurt.
He hadn't even condensed any elixirs yet, and he couldn't perform Wind Manipulation; falling from such a height could really lead to serious injury.
White Feather Immortal City was not too far from the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect; it took just over two hours for Lan Xiaobu to fly there on his axe.
Even though Xuan Fu was worried about falling, he admired the new sect master in his heart.
This new sect master had an impressively substantial divine sense.
Compared to the Mubei market, the level of White Feather Immortal City uplifted several notches.
The Mubei market was filled with tired lower-level cultivators struggling to get by, while those arriving at White Feather Immortal City came in flying treasures or bizarre flying beasts.
Some, like Lan Xiaobu, rode swords, though no one else rode on an axe.
Even though the atmosphere felt elevated, it was still a rarity to witness such scenes in Mubei market.
After paying the entrance fee and entering White Feather Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu felt even more of a distinction between a proper immortal city and a mere marketplace.
It was as if he, once a captain of a production team, had stepped into a place like Beijing or Shanghai.
On either side of the spacious road stood magnificent and luxurious buildings.
Where his divine sense swept, everywhere was filled with shielding formations.
As a third-level formation master, Lan Xiaobu could not even perceive the protective array of White Feather Immortal City.
"What is Crescent Moon Pill Tower's background?" On his way to Crescent Moon Pill Tower, Lan Xiaobu intentionally inquired of Xuan Fu.
He was not afraid; if he feared, he wouldn't have dared to teach a lesson to the Holy Maiden of the Five-Star Sect, Western Kunlun.
What he worried about was endangering the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect.
He was alone, and if trouble arose, he could just leave.
But the sect was different; his actions could implicate them.
After asking, Lan Xiaobu sighed.
Ultimately, he felt a weak sense of belonging to the sect.
If he had a stronger sense of belonging, he wouldn’t bother to ask.
Why hesitate? Just act; the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect was his home, so why fear any repercussions? If they couldn’t win, they could always relocate and come back for revenge later.
In the worst-case scenario, they could fight to the death.
"Crescent Moon Pill Tower belongs to the Guihai family. They have been a three-star immortal cultivation family for a long time and produce many talents. I heard they even have disciples in the four-star sect, Eastern Feather Immortal Sect," Xuan Fu replied.
Three-star immortal cultivation family, and they have ties to a four-star sect; this was somewhat tricky.
Xuan Fu seemed worried that Lan Xiaobu might not fully understand, so he added, "I heard the Guihai family has two Golden Core realm experts. One of them is on the brink of reaching the Spirit Refinement stage and seems to want to take the opportunity at the Primordial Ruins to break into that realm. If the family produces a Spirit Refinement realm expert, they'd qualify to apply as a four-star immortal cultivation family."
That was indeed strong.
Lan Xiaobu frowned, lost in thought as they reached the Crescent Moon Pill Tower.
Originally, he hoped to resolve things peacefully, but the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect was too weak.
Their only Golden Core expert, Shan Changxiu, was a sickly person at the sect, still recuperating.
However, when Lan Xiaobu saw Shan Qianyue hanging outside Crescent Moon Pill Tower with a huge sign in front of her stating, “Extortion at Crescent Moon Pill Tower, the consequences for damaging the tower's property,” his anger spiked.
He admitted he was not one for rational decision-making; sometimes, personality and thoughts do vary.
"Senior Sister Qianyue..."
Xuan Fu started to call out, but saw Lan Xiaobu had already summoned his giant axe.
"Don't!" Xuan Fu shouted urgently.
But it was too late.
The giant axe turned into a furious shadow and slammed down on the gates of Crescent Moon Pill Tower, shattering the words "Crescent Moon Pill Tower" into pieces.
“It's over.” That was the only thought that flashed through Xuan Fu’s mind.
Even though a part of him secretly felt satisfied, he knew the consequences.
"Crack!" The front gate of Crescent Moon Pill Tower collapsed instantly, and Lan Xiaobu’s divine sense enveloped Shan Qianyue, safely bringing her to his side.
As the immense shock from his divine sense and true essence crashed through, the interior of the tower followed suit and collapsed.
Shan Qianyue, covered in blood, opened her eyes in confusion after seeing Lan Xiaobu, and shamefully said, "Brother Xiaobu, I’m sorry, I got us into trouble."
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand and told Xuan Fu, "Take care of your Senior Sister Qianyue."
After saying this, before Lan Xiaobu needed to make another move, several figures rushed forward and surrounded him.
All the guests in Crescent Moon Pill Tower burst out; they still didn’t understand what had happened when the tower came crashing down.
"Who dares to act brazenly in White Feather Immortal City?" Two uniformed guards of the city quickly positioned themselves to block Lan Xiaobu.
In the distance, several individuals emerged from inside Crescent Moon Pill Tower.
They hesitated for a moment and did not approach but stayed back to observe how the situation would unfold.
Lan Xiaobu cupped his fist to the two guards, saying, “Gentlemen, it was my fault to act out in White Feather Immortal City. I will personally apologize to the city lord and compensate for whatever I owe.”
The guard on the left frowned, ready to speak, but Lan Xiaobu wouldn’t let him finish.
He continued, “I am Lan Xiaobu, the sect master of Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect. Our core disciple, Shan Qianyue, had thirty Coresculpting herbs taken by Crescent Moon Pill Tower. Not only that, but my core disciple, Shan Qianyue, was viciously beaten and hung outside the tower. This has escalated beyond a personal dispute; it has become a life-and-death matter between my Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect and Crescent Moon Pill Tower. If there is no resolution today, Crescent Moon Pill Tower will cease to exist in Yuan Continent from now on.”
The two guards, accustomed to the politics of White Feather Immortal City, realized that Lan Xiaobu was giving them face and respecting the authority of the city lord.
The implication behind his words was clear: this was a life-and-death conflict between Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect and the Guihai family.
Did White Feather Immortal City wish to intervene?
After a quick discussion, the two guards decided not to interfere in the conflict between the two families.
They were aware of Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect’s origins, and the sect master, Shan Changxiu, was said to be incapacitated.
Although Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect was a two-star sect, its foundation was even weaker than a one-star sect.
There had been news that Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect had recently held a ceremony for their new sect master, but few had come to congratulate.
White Feather Immortal City had received an invitation too but didn’t send anyone.
Why should they celebrate for a sect that was weaker than a one-star sect?
Now, it appeared that this Lan Xiaobu was indeed the new sect master.
He seemed to have quite a fiery temper.
Lan Xiaobu's actions went against the rules of White Feather Immortal City, and to maintain the city's reputation, he would undoubtedly have to apologize and compensate.
He had made it clear he would do that as the sect master.
Similarly, Crescent Moon Pill Tower hanging Shan Qianyue outside violated the city’s regulations.
The best course of action for the city might just be to stay out of this.
“You’re talking nonsense!” A man dressed in a golden robe stomped forward, glaring mockingly at Lan Xiaobu. “You dare destroy the gates of my Crescent Moon Pill Tower? You, let alone your Thousand Clouds…”
Before he could finish, Lan Xiaobu slapped him.
Instinctively, the man tried to dodge but was completely bound by the surrounding true essence.
Smack! Lan Xiaobu’s slap knocked out every single tooth from the man’s mouth and sent him flying.
Without waiting for him to land, Lan Xiaobu hooked his foot, snaring the man beneath his feet.
Then, he pressed down, distorting the man’s head.
With just a bit more force, the man’s head would implode.
The other two guards saw their boss beneath Lan Xiaobu's foot and quickly summoned their treasures, ready to act.
Yet their instinctive movements stopped short.
They realized they were merely foundational cultivators, while their boss was a Core Refinement expert, who had just been slapped down and was now under Lan Xiaobu's foot.
Did they want to court death by intervening?
Realizing this, the two quickly sent out a distress signal; requesting help was their top priority.
More and more people gathered, murmuring among themselves as news spread that the one trampling the manager of Crescent Moon Pill Tower was actually the new sect master of Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect.
Though Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect previously seemed weak enough for anyone to bully, a powerful sect master was now present.
How curious!
