Chapter 130: Afraid of My Fiancée
In the ancient Star Mountain, many had forgotten about the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect, but upon seeing its emergence, plans sparked to completely eliminate it.
Unexpectedly, a twist in events changed everything.
Zou Zheng spoke indifferently, "Let this matter rest. The East Feather Immortal Sect is not to seek further trouble with the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect. Furthermore, I hope during the period when the Kunxu Mystic Ravine is open, everyone will behave themselves and know what actions are appropriate. Three days from now, the selection to enter Kunxu will be held at Kunxu Plaza."
Finishing his words, Zou Zheng stepped forward and vanished in an instant.
Lan Xiaobu couldn’t help but sneer.
The Nine Provinces Mountain sounded righteous, but from Zou Zheng's actions, it was clear he only sought to ensure the smooth opening and closing of the Kunxu Mystic Ravine.
This had nothing to do with fairness or justice.
Yu Xilian's face was dull as he felt no desire to continue pursuing Lan Xiaobu.
He turned and left, realizing that Lan Xiaobu had shown no disrespect to the East Feather Immortal Sect—it was just the disciples of the East Feather Immortal Sect who acted out of line.
The Lord of White Feather City, Meng Ao, watched Lan Xiaobu from a distance.
He understood very well that if Lan Xiaobu really bore the timid nature depicted in the crystal images, he would not have severely injured Gui Haizhao and severed the head of the Crescent Moon Pill Tower’s manager with a Wind Blade.
He might have misjudged; Lan Xiaobu’s bad temper was far from what he imagined.
Moreover, Lan Xiaobu had considerable potential for growth, meaning associating with him was ill-advised, and it was wise not to provoke him.
After Zou Zheng departed, the East Feather Immortal Sect had no immediate plans to trouble Lan Xiaobu, and the Gui Hai family, a three-star sect, also dared not offend the Nine Provinces Mountain.
In fact, the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect, to which Lan Xiaobu belonged, found itself unusually calm.
However, this calm didn’t last long.
Merely a day later, two individuals arrived at Lan Xiaobu's location.
One of them was someone Lan Xiaobu recognized—Chunyu Liangyong, the Alchemist from West Kunlun.
Chunyu Liangyong was evidently here just for his own matters.
While Lan Xiaobu felt no fear towards him alone, the other person accompanying Chunyu Liangyong made him uneasy.
This person, though not tall and seemingly frail, emanated a chilling aura akin to that of Gui Haizhao’s sword.
Lan Xiaobu understood that things today would not end peacefully.
He motioned for Shan Qianyue and the others to stand clear.
This slight figure was powerful—second only to Zou Zheng.
Lan Xiaobu was sure he was not a match for this man; if a fight broke out, he would likely be finished before Zou Zheng even showed up.
And Zou Zheng might not even come.
"Lan Xiaobu, head of the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect?" The slight man examined Lan Xiaobu from head to toe.
His voice sounded as if it were emanating from the depths of his chest, its tone unstable and unsettling.
"That's right, and you are?" Lan Xiaobu replied with an even tone.
He suddenly wondered if he should have a skill to evade, just in case he found himself unable to win.
He quickly dismissed this thought—given his nature, even if he were to find himself unable to fight back, he would never abandon his fellow disciples in flight.
"I am Gui Wushou, an alchemist under Qin Xize…"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiaobu instinctively glanced at the man’s hands.
Just then, he heard Shan Qianyue gasp.
Turning back in confusion, he caught the look of horror in her eyes.
This man indeed seemed to have no hands; his sleeves were oddly empty.
Though Shan Qianyue didn’t speak, Lan Xiaobu realized that Gui Wushou was not an ordinary character.
"You took something that belongs to Alchemist Chunyu. I sent Alchemist Chunyu to help find it. If you return these items to me now, I will regard this matter as if it never happened. Otherwise, even if Zou Zheng comes, you must still hand over the items," Gui Wushou’s wavering voice made Lan Xiaobu extremely uncomfortable.
"What items?" Lan Xiaobu asked, looking puzzled at Chunyu Liangyong, trying to guess why Chunyu Liangyong had found Gui Wushou to demand items.
Gui Wushou seemed to have just found him, otherwise, he would have already visited the Thousand Clouds Immortal Sect.
Anyone who could inspire fear in Shan Qianyue was not a kind person.
Forming an alliance with someone like Gui Wushou was akin to seeking tiger skin.
If Chunyu Liangyong intended to hand the "Ten Continents Dao Pill Record" to Gui Wushou while keeping other items for himself, he was foolhardy.
Chunyu Liangyong's voice trembled slightly, "Lan Xiaobu, Gui Senior entered the Void God Realm not long ago. I advise you to heed his words..."
Hearing Chunyu Liangyong made Lan Xiaobu realize that he was not willingly seeking out Gui Wushou; otherwise, his tone wouldn’t be so desperate.
He looked haggard, suggesting he was being coerced by Gui Wushou.
"You have three breaths' time…" Gui Wushou’s presence bore down like a storm; even from a hundred miles away, Lan Xiaobu’s awareness and essence felt like they were being crushed, pushing him back several steps under the immense pressure, overshadowed by an aura of death.
The gap in strength was too vast; he lacked any ability to resist.
Lan Xiaobu's mind raced.
He knew that showing the "Ten Continents Dao Pill Record" today would likely lead to disaster.
Scanning with his divine sense, he knew that even if Zou Zheng were present, he probably wouldn’t intervene.
Here, weakness was a mortal sin.
A familiar figure emerged in his senses—Liu Li, the proud woman from the West Kunlun Sect.
Lan Xiaobu was overjoyed and intended to send her a message.
As long as Liu Li stirred the pot, he would have a chance.
But he quickly scratched that thought; Liu Li had come here for him.
"Since you refuse to speak, I will take it myself," Gui Wushou’s voice sounded as if it came from between clenched teeth.
"Alas."
Lan Xiaobu sighed, "Gui Wushou, aren’t you a cultivator? Don’t you fear retribution? Besides, that 'Ten Continents Dao Pill Record'…"
Lan Xiaobu spoke slowly, yet Gui Wushou listened intently, especially since Lan Xiaobu had mentioned the "Ten Continents Dao Pill Record."
But just as he started to mention it, Lan Xiaobu suddenly fell silent.
Gui Wushou didn’t explode; he had noticed Liu Li standing at the door.
Liu Li also didn’t expect anyone else would be here, but her expression turned slightly grim, clearly recognizing Gui Wushou and understanding his reputation.
She knew Lan Xiaobu was in trouble.
Gui Wushou had never been one to make friends; he dealt with only two types of people—temporary living ones and the dead.
Living individuals met him due to interests, and once those interests faded, they often became dead, hence the term "temporary living."
Thus, Gui Wushou held a notoriously terrible reputation in the Yuan Continent’s cultivation circles.
Liu Li couldn’t comprehend why Lan Xiaobu had provoked such a figure.
"You really know how to attract trouble," Liu Li shot a glance at Lan Xiaobu, her tone tinged with exasperation.
"What are you doing here?" Lan Xiaobu feigned surprise.
Without answering his question, Liu Li fixed her gaze on Gui Wushou, "You leave now, before I lose my temper."
"Hahahaha..."
Gui Wushou laughed heartily, "I, Gui Wushou, have roamed the Yuan Continent for many years. This is the first time a mere Golden Core dares to command me to leave! I will not go today; what can you do about it?"
If not for Kunxu Plaza being present, Gui Wushou might have killed Liu Li right there.
Liu Li’s expression was impassive as she raised a hand and summoned a sword talisman, "If I crush this sword talisman, today may well be your last."
"West Kunlun Sect…" Gui Wushou’s face instantly paled.
He didn’t fear Liu Li, but that sword talisman in her hand posed a true threat; if shattered, he wouldn’t survive to leave Kunxu Plaza, regardless of his strength.
Gui Wushou wasn’t afraid of all five-star sects, but he dared not provoke the West Kunlun Sect.
It was said to be a terrifying sect that boasted Earth Immortals.
Killing Gui Wushou would be easy for them.
And since this was Kunxu Plaza, if he harmed this woman before him, escape would be impossible.
The warning he received about the sword talisman wasn't a bluff.
With a cold snort, Gui Wushou turned to leave.
Suddenly, Lan Xiaobu whispered in his ear, "Had I known you feared my fiancée, I would have summoned her long ago. Hehe."
Gui Wushou’s expression changed, and he quickened his pace.
Watching the fourth-tier alchemist Chunyu Liangyong leave hurriedly behind Gui Wushou, Lan Xiaobu chuckled, "Alchemist of the West Kunlun, you’ve sought a tiger’s skin, hehe, good luck with that."
Chunyu Liangyong's face turned dreadful; only an idiot would think of scheming alongside Gui Wushou.
He had fallen into Gui Wushou’s hands, and since Gui Wushou was looking for the "Ten Continents Dao Pill Record," even if Lan Xiaobu’s matter didn't occur, he couldn't have escaped.
Had he known it would come to this, he would have never involved himself with the "Ten Continents Dao Pill Record."
He hadn’t reaped any rewards yet, and already trouble had come knocking.
"Thank you, Miss Liu Li," Lan Xiaobu cupped his hands.
Despite their strained relationship, if she hadn’t stepped in, he would have had no solution.
Even if Gui Wushou killed him, he couldn’t have stopped it.
Against a Void God, even if Shan Changxiu had reached the Spirit Refining Realm, what could she do?
Moreover, when Gui Wushou left, he had cleverly leveraged Liu Li’s presence.
With a stoic expression, Liu Li glanced at Shan Qianyue, asking, “How do we obtain superior silver glimmer fish?”
That woman always exuded pride.
Lan Xiaobu almost wanted to ask if a little humility would kill her.
But thinking about how she had just saved him by invoking authority, it wouldn’t be considerate to say that.
If she had invoked her authority earlier, he might not have survived in Mubei Market.
There was no denying, she had well-connected guardians.
Shan Qianyue regarded Liu Li, having calmed down after Gui Wushou's departure.
"I do not yet have a way to obtain superior silver glimmer fish..."
Liu Li's expression chilled, and she turned to leave, clearly disinterested in asking again due to her pride.
Yet Shan Qianyue continued, "But I do have a way to obtain exceptional silver glimmer fish, and last time in Mubei Market, we acquired not just superior silver glimmer fish but exceptional ones."
