Chapter 187: I Have Taken the Initiative to Deliver Myself (Silver Alliance Wandering Gambit Update 7)
Lan Xiaobu suddenly thought, if this diviner could predict everything about him, then wouldn’t all his movements be under this person's watch? Whether the other party had good or bad intentions, Lan Xiaobu felt a growing sense of vigilance and a looming sense of crisis.
This was still in Yuan Continent.
If he traveled to the Great Desolate Universe, under the calculations of those saints, he feared that even how many hours he slept at night or how long he had cultivated would become known to others.
Unless he could conceal the heavenly secrets, he knew that even if he managed to do that, the saints would still understand that someone was attempting to hide the truth.
If so, it was only a matter of time before they would pay attention to him.
Determined, Lan Xiaobu resolved that at the right moment, he would cover up all his auras and tracks.
He would make himself untraceable, even to the saints.
Others could not achieve this, but he had the opportunity, as long as the level of the cosmic dimensional matrix was high enough.
The cosmic dimensional matrix had definitely existed before the birth of the saints.
Whether it could mask a saint's perception, Lan Xiaobu wasn't sure.
If it were revealed that he possessed a cosmic dimensional matrix, he wouldn’t believe that there wouldn’t be any saints trying to deal with him.
How did the Three Xiaos meet their end? They were killed by the Primordial Saint himself.
If one believed that saints would not act against someone possessing a treasure like the cosmic dimensional matrix, Lan Xiaobu wouldn’t even believe that himself.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu fall into silence, Qin Caixi felt a chill in her heart.
She understood that, like before, she couldn't rely on others to take charge for her.
She bowed to Lan Xiaobu and then slowly turned to leave.
After so many years of survival experience, she knew that if the other wouldn’t speak up for her, she shouldn't keep asking, lest she irritate them.
"I’ve avenged this grudge for you; just say I’m a disciple of Mubei Immortal City..."
Before Lan Xiaobu could finish, Qin Caixi knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Master, for taking in your disciple. I promise I will not tarnish your name."
Lan Xiaobu was taken aback.
He hadn't intended to accept a disciple.
After all, he was barely competent himself; how could he take in a disciple? He only referred to her as his disciple for the sake of revenge.
But Qin Caixi had no intention of getting up, and Lan Xiaobu sighed.
He understood that she was without options.
Were he in her place, he might have grasped the fleeting opportunity too.
"You can get up. Since you've said it, I shall consider you my named disciple. All else can wait until after the matters of Western Kunlun are settled," Lan Xiaobu said.
Qin Caixi, her face flushed with excitement, stood trembling, "Yes, thank you, Master."
Opportunities often lie in a moment; it all depends on whether one can seize them.
She had grasped this chance, even as a named disciple, ensuring that she would no longer be without a home.
...
Inside the conference hall of the Western Kunlun Sect, silence reigned as the matter of the "Second Dao Classic" was riddled with uncertainty.
Whether Jiuzhou Mountain was deliberately stirring up trouble, or if the "Second Dao Classic" had genuinely turned blank upon reaching Jiuzhou Mountain, this matter was evidently not over.
Mu Yangzhe had set a trap for the sect master of Western Kunlun, striking at their strength, indicating that there was more to come.
Everyone in the hall looked down on them; with Jiuzhou Mountain's might, why didn’t they seek out Lan Xiaobu in Mubei Immortal City? He had killed several of their Earthly Immortals after all.
Even if Western Kunlun ended up with a fake "Second Dao Classic," wasn’t it wise to first deal with Mubei Immortal City?
As they pondered this, the protective formation of the sect suddenly began to shake violently.
Is someone attacking the sect’s grand formation? Zhuo Cailou’s expression changed, and he quickly stood and dashed toward the location of the sect's protective formation.
The other peak masters and elders hurried out, their first thought being that powerful figures from Jiuzhou Mountain had come to attack Western Kunlun.
With just two blows from Lan Xiaobu, the great protective formation of Western Kunlun shook violently.
Compared to when Shangguan Xiaoyi had attacked the Weapon Immortal Mansion, the might was many times stronger.
This was still without Lan Xiaobu putting forth his full power; had he truly gone all out, he would have summoned the Zhaotian Seal.
Upon reaching the protective formation, Zhuo Cailou recognized Lan Xiaobu and immediately said, "Isn’t this Lord Lan from Mubei Immortal City?"
While he spoke, he felt a twinge of helplessness, wishing he could immediately eliminate Tai He Lianbin.
If it weren't for Tai He Lianbin’s terrible suggestion, would Lan Xiaobu have come to attack Western Kunlun?
If Tai He Lianbin had truly found assistance, then ok, but the problem was that not only had he failed to find help, but he had also allowed their sect master to suffer serious injuries.
That was simply unforgivable.
Had he not sustained injuries, he might still have had a shot at fighting Lan Xiaobu.
With Lan Xiaobu appearing here, boldly attacking the sect's protective formation, everyone quickly understood.
The news that they planned to attack Mubei Immortal City had leaked, and with this information spilling out, it was only natural that Lan Xiaobu would take the initiative to confront them.
Obviously, Western Kunlun hadn’t eaten the fish but ended up soaked in fishy water instead.
After greeting him, Zhuo Cailou hurriedly opened the sect’s protective formation.
He understood that even if he did not open the formation, Lan Xiaobu could break through it.
At that point, not only would Western Kunlun lose face, but their Level-8 formation would also be destroyed.
Lan Xiaobu said lightly, "That’s right. I heard that Western Kunlun plans to find someone to teach Mubei Immortal City a lesson and then capture me to bring me here. I was worried that you all are too old to walk comfortably, so I took the initiative to arrive."
Feng Du understood Lan Xiaobu's ruthlessness, and Lan Xiaobu’s aura was evidently even more formidable than last time.
At present, there were only two Earthly Immortals from Western Kunlun, and their sect master was severely injured; challenging Lan Xiaobu now would be akin to courting death.
Feng Du hurriedly performed a heavenly salute and politely said, "Lord Lan, this is perhaps a misunderstanding. Someone has secretly provoked the relationship between me and Lord Lan. I, Feng Du, guarantee that we won’t have any unfriendly thoughts toward Mubei Immortal City."
The Seven Sounds Halberd in Lan Xiaobu's hand suddenly jabbed into the ground, laughter escaping his lips as he said, "Your assurance from Western Kunlun, haha..."
Just then, Zhuo Cailou spotted the painting halberd in Lan Xiaobu's grasp, and his expression twitched, for he recognized this halberd.
This was undeniably the weapon from the Falling Halberd Valley.
It had been there for countless years, and no one had ever been able to obtain it.
Every person attempting to wield it had met their demise within the valley.
The appearance of this halberd in Lan Xiaobu’s hands signified something—the implication being that Lan Xiaobu had ventured into the valley to retrieve this halberd, indirectly reflecting his prowess as far exceeding that of an ordinary Earthly Immortal.
Zhuo Cailou, who had initially been intending to resist, now said, "Lord Lan, this matter genuinely was our wrongdoing in Western Kunlun. However, we absolutely do not wish to confront you. Lord Lan can propose conditions, and if we cannot fulfill them, then we will have to gamble everything."
At that moment, Zhuo Cailou lamented the disunity of the sects in Yuan Continent.
They had once had Jiuzhou Mountain to coordinate the unity of everyone, but now that Jiuzhou Mountain had been beaten to such a degree that they didn’t dare to reveal themselves, if all the factions in Yuan Continent stood together, would Lan Xiaobu have the courage to flaunt his might in Western Kunlun? If they all sought aid, even if most five-star sects arrived, no matter how strong Lan Xiaobu was, he was still just one person.
Listening to Zhuo Cailou, Lan Xiaobu was surprised and glanced at him.
He appreciated this straightforward manner of speaking, decisive and unadorned.
"Alright, since Master Zhuo is so straightforward, then I will not beat around the bush. I am in need of two things: first, I require a high-quality spiritual vein; second, I need a flying spirit tool.”
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing Lan Xiaobu's demands.
It was clear that he intended to battle.
Asking for a high-quality spiritual vein? Ha, how many five-star sects actually had high-quality spiritual veins?
All the members of Western Kunlun prepared for action, and Lan Xiaobu did the same.
Once things escalated, he would first eliminate Zhuo Cailou and then Feng Du.
The rest were mere trivialities to him.
What no one expected was that Zhuo Cailou did not attack but instead said, "Lord Lan, while I can help you acquire a high-quality spiritual vein, I cannot provide you with a flying spirit tool; Western Kunlun doesn’t have one. However, I know where one can be found. If Lord Lan is willing to resolve this without hostilities, I will reveal to you where the flying spirit tool is located."
"Ha ha, I appreciate Master Zhuo’s character. Let’s do it this way; I agree. However, I have a second matter, and if this can also be accomplished, then Master Zhuo can secure that high-quality spiritual vein for me later.” Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily.
Zhuo Cailou felt relieved.
If Lan Xiaobu had first demanded the high-quality spiritual vein and was still willing to fight, he wouldn't have had any way to respond.
Lan Xiaobu's words indicated he didn’t even bother using such lowly tactics to deceive for a spiritual vein.
Perhaps it suggested that he had sufficient confidence.
Truly, if Lan Xiaobu decimated Western Kunlun, he could simply extract all its high-quality spiritual veins for himself.
"Please continue, Lord Lan," Zhuo Cailou said, cupping his fist.
"Caixi, come here."
Lan Xiaobu beckoned.
Qin Caixi clenched her fists, feeling thrilled at having such a good master.
For so many years, those people she sought help from wouldn’t even dare speak ill of her behind Western Kunlun's back; several times she had come perilously close to being captured and handed over to them.
Yet her master stood boldly before their sect master and so many elders, scolding them, and even demanding reparations, while Western Kunlun had to respond with the utmost respect.
One should be as bold as the master; that is the way of a cultivator.
"Master."
Qin Caixi stepped forward and called out, then her gaze fixed intently on Tai He Lianbin behind her.
Lan Xiaobu said, "This is my disciple, Qin Caixi. Her sect was exterminated overnight by others; both her sister and master were killed. Master Zhuo, tell me, should I not seek revenge for my disciple?"
Zhuo Cailou’s heart sank.
He could only say, "Naturally, that is right."
"Excellent."
After stating his approval, Lan Xiaobu turned to Qin Caixi, “Caixi, please share your tragic past with everyone. They are all good people, and they will support you."
