Chapter 188: Do Not Mess with Mubei Immortal City
"Yes, Master."
Qin Caixi replied, pointing at Taihe Lianbin and said, "Years ago, this man's disciple set his sights on my sister. When my sister refused, he killed her on the spot..."
As soon as Qin Caixi spoke, most of the people here understood the situation.
Years ago, Yixian Palace was flattened by Taihe Lianbin, and everyone there was killed.
Many knew about it.
Not to mention the Western Kunlun Sect; the other sects were clear about it too.
But the Western Kunlun Sect had too much influence, and a small Three-Star Sect like Yixian Palace could easily be destroyed.
Who would dare to stand up for Yixian Palace?
Zhuo Cailou felt a surge of anger inside but could only silently sigh; he couldn’t argue against it, as it was a fact.
At this moment, he doubted his own actions.
Is it really okay to be in a high cultivation level and become a Peak Master or an Elder? Someone without sense or one so arrogant as to think he is number one in the world could only bring disaster to the sect.
What good could come from that?
"Sect Master, this matter happened many years ago, and my disciple He Jinyi was injured by Yixian Palace's Yan Xiao. By the standards of Yuan Continent, our Western Kunlun Sect is a Five-Star Sect, while a Three-Star Sect..."
Before Taihe Lianbin could finish, the people around instinctively stepped aside.
How could there still be such an idiot? Saying this in front of others was one thing; can’t you see who stands before you? If not for being so used to arrogance, one would never say such a thing.
Being a Peak Master of Western Kunlun, when faced with the respect and fear of others, it's only natural one would grow arrogant.
Before Zhuo Cailou and Elder Renxian could respond, Lu Yi took the initiative to interrupt Taihe Lianbin, saying, "City Master Lan, we in Western Kunlun had no idea such matters occurred. Had we known, not just you, but even we in Western Kunlun would never let this villain go. To openly destroy a Three-Star Sect is truly heinous. City Master Lan has the right to act freely, but we absolutely cannot allow such a violent person to exist in our sect, as it would tarnish our reputation."
Zhuo Cailou silently praised this was the best thing for Lu Yi to say.
If he spoke, it would be an even greater blow to Western Kunlun's reputation.
"Very good."
Lan Xiaobu suddenly moved forward, grabbing towards Taihe Lianbin.
Taihe Lianbin was furious; he never expected to be abandoned by his sect.
A Five-Star Sect with no backbone, how could this be? But what of it? How many souls had perished under his command? What didn’t matter to Lan Xiaobu?
As Taihe Lianbin raised a wolf tooth spear to smash toward Lan Xiaobu, he also produced an escape talisman.
However, in the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
A terrifying spatial power bound his true essence circulation, and he watched helplessly as a massive peak fell from the sky above.
The stench of death descended.
At that moment, Taihe Lianbin realized just how far he fell behind Lan Xiaobu.
"City Master Lan, spare me..."
No matter how violent he was toward others, he didn't want to die himself.
He hoped begging for mercy might allow Lan Xiaobu to hold back a little, and then he'd activate his escape talisman.
Unfortunately, his pleas sounded like farting in Lan Xiaobu's ears, and the mountain of the Zhaotian Seal still crashed down upon him.
"Boom!" Everyone could see a spray of blood mist erupt from the mountain's edge.
When they looked back, the Zhaotian Seal had been collected by Lan Xiaobu.
Before everyone was a massive pit, and lying within it was a corpse or rather, a skin.
The site fell into a stunned silence.
Lan Xiaobu’s strike had turned Taihe Lianbin into a mere layer of skin.
Flesh and bone remnants dissolved into nothingness.
Elder Fengdu felt a chill run down his spine; he understood that compared to back in Mubei Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu’s strength had increased more than double.
If it were the current Lan Xiaobu, the likes of Mu Yangzhe wouldn't have been able to escape back then.
"Extraordinary," Zhuo Cailou marveled but quickly snapped to his senses, coldly snorting and saying, "Such a villain deserves death. Someone, bring He Jinyi here."
Even before Zhuo Cailou gave the order, someone had already brought He Jinyi over.
The moment he saw Qin Caixi, his entire body shook.
Not only had he seen Qin Caixi, but he also saw his master, Taihe Lianbin, turned into skin.
Lan Xiaobu glanced at the tearful and furious Qin Caixi and said, “Go take your revenge. I’ll support you from behind.”
"Yes."
Qin Caixi charged towards He Jinyi like a madwoman, and He Jinyi hurriedly summoned his treasure wanting to strike back.
Yet, just as he summoned his treasure, he felt his entire body bound and was unable to move at all.
"Sect Master, save me..."
He Jinyi wanted to cry for help, but he couldn’t voice his desperation.
Lan Xiaobu found it mildly amusing.
He Jinyi was not bound by him but by Lu Yi, who seemed concerned about He Jinyi harming Qin Caixi.
Once Qin Caixi got hurt, he’d have another excuse for revenge.
"Stab!" Qin Caixi's longsword pierced through He Jinyi's forehead, then withdrew, again slashing out and severing his head.
Qin Caixi collected He Jinyi’s head and Taihe Lianbin’s skin into a bag.
Lan Xiaobu did not stop her; he understood Qin Caixi intended to return home to pay respects to her family, her master, and her sect.
"Master, I have avenged my sister."
After finishing, Qin Caixi walked over to Lan Xiaobu’s side, her red eyes still filled with emotion.
She felt her soul could finally settle down; her sister, her master, and those fellow disciples of the sect could finally rest in peace.
Zhuo Cailou took out a ring and handed it to Lan Xiaobu, saying, "City Master Lan, take a look; is this what you need?"
Lan Xiaobu's divine sense swept across, confirming it was indeed a high-quality spirit vein.
He silently thought that Zhuo Cailou, the sect master of Western Kunlun, was indeed wealthy.
With that in mind, Mu Yangzhe would likely be similar.
Besides the high-quality spirit vein, there was also a jade slip containing information about a mid-grade flying spirit device at Mist Sea Immortal Sect.
"Exactly."
Lan Xiaobu joyfully accepted the ring.
A mid-grade flying spirit device was even more powerful than a starry sky boat, perfect for him as he planned to make a round across Yuan Continent, starting from the Mist Sea Immortal Sect.
"City Master Lan found it tough to make a trip; why not come visit our sect?" Zhuo Cailou's face wore a beaming smile, as if Lan Xiaobu hadn’t just killed the Peak Master of Western Kunlun.
Lan Xiaobu chuckled lightly, "Not today, I must take my leave."
Having said that, he left with Qin Caixi, quickly disappearing from sight.
Zhuo Cailou’s smile vanished as he watched Lan Xiaobu’s departing figure, vowing in his heart that one day he would reclaim all that had happened.
Western Kunlun would not be so easy to bully...

"Master, I want to pay my respects to my fellow disciples."
After leaving Western Kunlun far behind, Qin Caixi finally calmed her turbulent emotions.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "Go ahead. I fear I must leave Yuan Continent soon and cannot teach you anything further."
With that, Lan Xiaobu handed a ring to Qin Caixi.
"Once you finish your matters, return to Mubei Immortal City to cultivate. You can seek out Senior Shangguan Xiaoyi. This contains my cultivation methods; remember to destroy it once you’ve memorized it. Inside is a top-tier supreme spirit tool, the Soul Snatching Lantern, which I gift to you. There are also some medicinal pills for cultivation, but I must tell you to avoid using pills whenever possible."
“The Soul Snatching Lantern?” Qin Caixi exclaimed, "Master, this is the treasure of the Elder Wen Wuqing from Western Kunlun!"
All day long, Qin Caixi thought of how to deal with Western Kunlun.
Though her abilities were limited, she knew quite well about some of their foundations.
Lan Xiaobu smiled slightly, "Indeed, it is his. I killed him. Be careful when using this treasure. It’s safe in my hands, but if others find it in yours, you’ll be in great danger."
"Yes, Master, I understand," Qin Caixi responded quickly.
Over the years, had she not been cautious, she would have been killed many times.
Surviving to today was precisely due to her vigilance.
After sending Qin Caixi off, Lan Xiaobu used the ancient road to control his flying treasure, heading straight for Mist Sea Immortal Sect.
They had robbed him; borrowing a flying treasure seemed reasonable, right?
---
Lan Xiaobu’s trip to the Western Kunlun Sect wasn’t very high-key, but the fact that the lord of Mubei Immortal City went there and took an opportunity to retaliate against Taihe Lianbin had already spread throughout Yuan Continent.
The lord of Guxing Mountain, Shi Hailu, felt a lingering fear; he was lucky he hadn’t sided with Taihe Lianbin.
Had he agreed, Guxing Mountain might have suffered its demise by his hands.
Did you see? Taihe Lianbin led a joint force of many Five-Star sects, only to be slain by none other than Lan Xiaobu within the Western Kunlun Sect.
With such fierce individuals in Yuan Continent, who would dare to stir trouble in Mubei Immortal City?
Now, whether Five-Star sects or those below, all sects issued a strict decree to their members: do not cause trouble in Mubei Immortal City.
Not going there was unrealistic; Mubei Immortal City had become the foremost immortal city of Yuan Continent, with everything available.
So, they could only instruct their members not to make trouble there.
Like other sects, Mist Sea Immortal Sect also released a decree forbidding any of its disciples from provoking trouble in Mubei Immortal City.
Most disciples who received this decree paid little heed; even if the sect didn’t say, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to stir trouble in Mubei Immortal City.
Except for one person: Zhuo Mingqiu, a disciple of Mist Sea Immortal Sect.
He had once attempted to rob Lan Xiaobu, although he was counter-robbed.
He remained uneasy in his heart.
Today, Lan Xiaobu was a ruthless killer, and if he came to Mist Sea Immortal Sect, things would turn terrible for him.
Sometimes, what one fears most comes true.
Just as Zhuo Mingqiu worried whether Lan Xiaobu remembered that he had once robbed him, news broke that Lan Xiaobu, the lord of Mubei Immortal City, had arrived at Mist Sea Immortal Sect.
