Chapter 179: The Most Ruthless Person in Yuan Continent
“What? The protective formation of our sect has been broken?” Qu Miaoyou stood up in disbelief.
The protective formation of the Qi Xian Mansion was arranged by the missing formation master, Fu Zhengchi.
Even some Five-Star Sects did not possess such a high-level protective formation; it was precisely for this reason that Qu Miaoyou felt assured that nothing would happen to their protective formation.
“Shangguan Xiaoyi, you are also a senior in our Yuan Continent cultivation world. Now, you openly smashed the protective formation of my Qi Xian Mansion. Don’t you fear the wrath of many?” Qu Miaoyou rushed out from the sect's grand hall, shouting angrily from afar.
Without help, his Qi Xian Mansion wasn't afraid of Shangguan Xiaoyi; they had an elder at the early stage of the Void God Realm as well.
Shangguan Xiaoyi, however, did not continue to act and instead stepped into the Qi Xian Mansion, her tone cold as she said, “I came to the sect to retrieve some of my possessions that belong to me. Not only did you not let me in, but you also spoke harshly to me. Do you think I, Shangguan Xiaoyi, am easy to fool?”
Seeing that Shangguan Xiaoyi did not take further action, Qu Miaoyou finally breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands in salute, saying, “Daoist friend Shangguan, Master Fang Ang has been transformed for many years. Even if you insist on claiming to seek something from Master Fang Ang, we cannot bring him out.”
Shangguan Xiaoyi replied calmly, “All I ask is to see the cave where Fang Ang once cultivated. Why can’t you agree to such a simple request?”
Qu Miaoyou clearly had more to say than Shangguan Xiaoyi.
He raised his voice and said, “Daoist friend Shangguan, if I, Qu Miaoyou, were to visit your Shangguan family to see your ancestor’s cave, would you allow it?”
Shangguan Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment.
Clearly, she had reason on her side, but she couldn’t come up with a counterargument and became somewhat speechless because of his words.
“Hahaha…” I Ceng He heard such a shameless demand for the first time.
Is your Shangguan family really so powerful? So what if the Qi Xian Mansion doesn’t let you in? Can you fly to the sky?
As they spoke, a flying shuttle descended from the sky, landing in the square outside the Qi Xian Mansion.
Almost simultaneously, several flying vessels appeared in the distance.
Qu Miaoyou was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward, clasping his hands in salute, “Qi Xian Mansion’s Qu Miaoyou pays respects to Elder Ceng.”
The newcomer was Elder Ceng He from the Western Kunlun Sect, at the late stage of the Void God Realm.
Ceng He nodded, but before he could scold Shangguan Xiaoyi again, several flying vessels had already landed, and seven or eight cultivators descended in single file, the weakest being at the early stage of the Void God Realm, while most were at the mid or late stages.
Shangguan Xiaoyi’s expression turned grim.
She hadn’t expected the Qi Xian Mansion’s influence to be so substantial, calling in several helpers from Five-Star Sects so quickly, along with some from Four-Star Sects.
She realized that taking back her belongings today was almost impossible.
Shangguan Xiaoyi grew tired of speaking and turned to leave.
A female cultivator at the mid stage of the Void God Realm, just disembarked from a flying ship, blocked Shangguan Xiaoyi’s path, saying, “What? You broke the protective formation of the Qi Xian Mansion and think you can just leave? If everyone acted like you, wouldn’t our Yuan Continent cultivation world be thrown into chaos?”
Ceng He laughed as well, “Elder Minyue of the Nine Continent Mountain is right. If everyone were to act like this one here, wanting to attack any sect they pleased, our Yuan Continent would’ve been chaotic long ago. Shangguan Xiaoyi, you should follow me to the Western Kunlun. Although you are an older cultivator in Yuan Continent, you must respect the rules of our cultivation world.”
Shangguan Xiaoyi raised the large axe in her hand and coldly replied, “I will not go with you.”
But right after she said this, seven or eight Void God realm cultivators had already blocked her path.
Shangguan Xiaoyi’s expression changed.
Qu Miaoyou laughed heartily and said, “Thanks to the brothers for coming to take justice. This rogue relies on his status to openly disregard our Qi Xian Mansion and the order of the Yuan Continent cultivation world. Why don’t we capture this rogue first and then gather at my Qi Xian Mansion?”
“Hehe, is your Qi Xian Mansion so powerful? I disregard your Qi Xian Mansion, and I’ve even killed one of your ants. Do you want to take me down?” A disdainful voice rang out.
Shangguan Xiaoyi’s heart leaped with joy upon hearing this voice; she turned and saw Lan Xiaobu leisurely walking over.
“You…” Qu Miaoyou wanted to question who this person was, daring to speak boldly here.
However, after saying just one “you,” he recognized him and swallowed the rest of his words.
He had never seen this person, but he had seen their portrait many times.
This was Lan Xiaobu, the lord of Mubei Immortal City, the most ruthless person in Yuan Continent at present.
He had killed three human immortals from Nine Continent Mountain, forcing Mu Yangzhe to flee, and it was rumored that he had even visited Ancient Star Mountain, where the people respected him and sent him off.
The Qi Xian Mansion could ignore Shangguan Xiaoyi, but they would not dare show any disrespect to Lan Xiaobu.
“Qu Miaoyou pays respects to Lord Lan.” Qu Miaoyou hurriedly bowed and saluted.
He clearly understood that with Lan Xiaobu’s arrival, even if many sects were present, none could support the Qi Xian Mansion.
Using the name of a Five-Star Sect to suppress Lan Xiaobu? Haha, that would just be a joke.
“Greetings, Lord Lan.” The other Void God realm cultivators saw Lan Xiaobu and quickly came forward to pay their respects while also allowing Shangguan Xiaoyi to escape their blockade.
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze fell on Mingyue, and he lightly remarked, “You Nine Continent Mountain are the overseers of Yuan Continent? Why do you meddle so much?”
“Greetings, Lord Lan. Shangguan Xiaoyi openly shattered the protective formation of the Qi Xian Mansion; I, Nine Continent Mountain…” Elder Minyue's words had not yet finished when Lan Xiaobu slapped her.
Although Elder Minyue was at the mid stage of the Void God Realm and should be able to dodge, she found she was unable to.
“Slap!” The slap sent Elder Minyue flying, and as she was airborne, a dozen of her teeth flew out.
Boom! Elder Minyue fell to the ground, terrified, staring at Lan Xiaobu; that slap was a complete domination.
“You Nine Continent Mountain are nothing. I’ll come and smash your protective formation in a few days. What can you do about it?” Lan Xiaobu said dismissively.
Elder Minyue did not dare to speak another word, sitting on the ground trembling inside.
She was deeply worried Lan Xiaobu would kill her without a second thought.
Others might hesitate to kill her, but for Lan Xiaobu, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.
He had already killed several powerful human immortals from Nine Continent Mountain; how could he hesitate to kill her, a mid-stage Void God cultivator? She herself wouldn’t believe that.
At this moment, Ceng He wanted to send a message back but didn’t dare to.
If he had known Lan Xiaobu would come, even if he had a thousand guts, he wouldn’t want to lend a hand to the Qi Xian Mansion.
Ceng He hoped Lan Xiaobu would ignore him, but Lan Xiaobu turned his gaze to him, “You wanted to take my friend away just now?”
“Greetings, Lord Lan. I am the external elder of the Western Kunlun Sect. This matter may be a misunderstanding.” Ceng He quickly bowed, placing himself in a very low position.
“Slap!” Another slap came flying.
Ceng He felt he could dodge, yet he couldn’t bring himself to.
After Elder Minyue was slapped, it seemed that Lan Xiaobu had no further interest in her.
If he dodged, perhaps the ordeal would not end well.
Buzz! Ceng He felt ringing in his brain, and his vision was filled with golden light; he too was sent flying by this slap.
“Is your Western Kunlun so impressive? Don’t let me, Lord Bu, find an excuse. Next time you bother my friend again, Lord Bu will also visit the Western Kunlun. Get lost.”
“Yes…” Ceng He’s heart relaxed instead.
He knew that once this matter stirred up, no matter how Western Kunlun dealt with Lan Xiaobu, he would be the first victim.
Lord Lan had killed three human immortals from Nine Continent Mountain, yet they had done nothing to him? Although Western Kunlun was strong, they were still far from matching Nine Continent Mountain.
Upon Lan Xiaobu’s arrival, he taught a lesson to the powerful people from Nine Continent Mountain and Western Kunlun, leaving the other sects silent.
The elder from Eastern Feather Sword Sect did not even dare to breathe too heavily, fearing Lan Xiaobu would notice him.
At this moment, he only regretted it; now was such a tumultuous time in Yuan Continent; why did he, as a Four-Star Sect, come to assist the Qi Xian Mansion? Was it foolish to seek trouble when he could barely protect himself?
Neither Nine Continent Mountain nor Western Kunlun wanted to stay and left dejectedly, while the other sects that came to aid also retreated quietly.
They were relieved that Lan Xiaobu had not sought trouble with them.
“Thank you, Lord Lan. I initially didn’t want to trouble you; I didn’t expect to have to trouble you again.” Shangguan Xiaoyi said with a sigh.
At this moment, she understood Lan Xiaobu’s might.
This lord before her was likely among the most powerful existences in the entire Yuan Continent.
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand, “I actually came to the Qi Xian Mansion for some matters too. Just curious, what brings you here?”
Shangguan Xiaoyi hurriedly said, “I left something with Fang Ang when I was being chased, and now I wish to reclaim that item.”
After speaking, Shangguan Xiaoyi sent a shy thought to Lan Xiaobu, “Previously, my ancestor asked me to give you a flame that was in the process of nurturing. At that time, I was being chased by people from Ancient Star Mountain, so I entrusted this flame to Fang Ang, asking him to keep it safe.”
Lan Xiaobu instantly understood: it wasn’t that Shangguan Xiaoyi had forgotten about the flame; rather, she wanted to retrieve it herself to give to him.
Lan Xiaobu nodded at Shangguan Xiaoyi, then coldly looked at Qu Miaoyou, “Where is Fang Ang?”
At this moment, Qu Miaoyou did not dare to raise his voice, hastily replying respectfully, “Master Fang Ang sealed his cave after his ascension and instructed that only Gold Core cultivators under the age of twenty-five could enter, to accept his legacy and ultimately strengthen the Qi Xian Mansion.”
Shangguan Xiaoyi snorted coldly, “Didn’t Fang Ang tell you that he owes me something?”
Qu Miaoyou quickly replied, “This ancestor did not mention it; he only said that if Senior Shangguan came, a distress signal should be sent immediately. Over the years, the Qi Xian Mansion has worked hard for the major sects, thus accumulating much goodwill.”
From what Qu Miaoyou said, Lan Xiaobu surmised that Fang Ang had gotten greedy after receiving Shangguan Xiaoyi’s flame.
Before he had passed away, he knew that Shangguan Xiaoyi would not return soon.
Thus, he established a rule for future successors to inherit his legacy, which surely included the flame.
Lan Xiaobu said calmly, “Lead the way to Fang Ang’s cave.”
