Chapter 242: This Is My Territory
Even if Lan Xiaobu didn’t make a move, the two Great Yi Immortal cultivators wouldn’t have been able to escape the fifth-level trapping and killing array.
Moreover, Lan Xiaobu had already summoned his Seven Sounds Halberd.
With two bursts of blood light, the two Great Yi Immortal cultivators from the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance were effortlessly slain by Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu took out a pill and fed it to the Golden Immortal disciple of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
"Go back and rest for now."
"Thank you, Sect Master, for avenging us," the Golden Immortal cultivator bowed respectfully.
His companion hadn’t died in the siege by the Great Yin Immortal Sect but had been killed by guests from the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance.
If it weren’t for the sect master avenging them, he would have left the Great Desolate Immortal Sect immediately.
Lan Xiaobu sealed the sect’s protective array and then headed to the Great Desolate Immortal Sect’s guest hall.
"Sect Master…" As soon as Lan Xiaobu entered, Kong Zhengxing, Su Ou, and Fu Qianhen stood up.
Apart from these three, the rest were unfamiliar cultivators.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Lan Xiaobu quickly assessed the situation.
There were two Immortal Kings, eleven Great Luo Golden Immortals, and twelve Great Zhi Immortals present.
When Kong Zhengxing and the other two stood up to greet Lan Xiaobu, fifteen of the twenty-five cultivators also rose.
Among them was one Immortal King, six Great Luo Immortals, and eight Great Zhi Immortals.
The others had initially thought about standing but, seeing the Immortal King seated in the main position remain seated, they only half-rose before sitting back down.
"So, you’re the sect master of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, Lan Xiaobu? Your cultivation is a bit low, but you’ve done well organizing the cultivators of the Great Desolate Universe to resist the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance. I’ve come here not only to strengthen our Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance but also to take you as my disciple," the Immortal King seated in the main position said after sizing up Lan Xiaobu.
This man had a long face, a flat nose, and an air of confidence that came with being a powerful figure.
Lan Xiaobu inwardly sneered.
This guest had not only taken the main seat in the Great Desolate Immortal Sect but was also giving orders.
And now, he wanted to take Lan Xiaobu as his disciple? Who did he think he was? Did he think an Immortal King could do as he pleased here? Lan Xiaobu had killed Immortal Kings before.
Although Lan Xiaobu hadn’t yet reached the level of a sixth-grade Grand Immortal Array Master, his current skill with killing arrays far surpassed what it had been when he was setting up fifth-grade arrays.
Back then, he had used fourth-grade immortal tools as array flags.
Now, he could craft the most advanced fifth-grade array flags, and his understanding of killing arrays was on the verge of breaking through to the sixth-grade level.
With the help of Kong Zhengxing and Su Ou, he was confident he could take down an Immortal King.
Even though there were two Immortal Kings present, the one who had stood up had an unstable Dao rhythm, stagnant immortal energy, and a murky aura between his brows—clear signs of severe injuries, both to his soul and his sea of consciousness.
Even without a trapping and killing array, Lan Xiaobu believed he could take this man down.
"Greetings, Sect Master Lan. I, Gu Feihe, deeply admire what you’ve accomplished," the injured Immortal King spoke up, his tone respectful.
Lan Xiaobu ignored the Immortal King seated in the main position and instead gave a slight bow to the one who had spoken.
"I’ve only acted in self-defense. Your praise is too generous, Brother Gu. Please, everyone, take your seats."
The Immortal King in the main seat’s expression darkened.
He was the one in charge here, yet Lan Xiaobu had ignored him.
Before he could speak again, Lan Xiaobu turned to him and asked, "And who might you be?"
The Immortal King was visibly displeased.
He was, after all, an Immortal King.
How dare a mere Golden Immortal, who had the audacity to establish the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, speak to him in such a manner? Truth be told, if it weren’t for Lan Xiaobu’s contributions in resisting the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a minor figure.
"I am Xing Yongkai, the leader of the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance. I founded the Great Desolate Heavenly Soldiers," Xing Yongkai said, his tone growing colder.
Lan Xiaobu replied indifferently, "Leader Xing, do you know where you are?"
"Is this not the Great Desolate Immortal Sect?" Xing Yongkai’s voice carried a hint of menace.
If Lan Xiaobu dared to defy him, he wouldn’t hesitate to cripple him.
He had heard that Lan Xiaobu had killed thirty thousand members of the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance by setting up a fifth-grade trapping and killing array outside.
But this was the guest hall, not the open battlefield.
More importantly, Lan Xiaobu was here in person.
Xing Yongkai’s divine sense was already locked onto Lan Xiaobu.
If Lan Xiaobu made even the slightest move, he would crush him immediately.
"Oh? Then, Leader Xing, do you know who I am?" Lan Xiaobu asked calmly.
"What do you mean by that?" Xing Yongkai stood up, a murderous aura swirling around him.
Lan Xiaobu laughed.
"You know this is the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, and I am its sect master. In my sect, as the sect master, I haven’t even taken my seat, yet you sit in the sect master’s position. Are you expecting me to hand over the position to you?"
Xing Yongkai remained silent, but a long-haired elder stepped forward and clasped his hands toward Lan Xiaobu.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, the cultivators of the Great Desolate Universe have been on the defensive for a long time, and we’ve secured very few secret realms. The Great Desolate Heavenly Soldiers are on the verge of collapse. The alliance leader had hoped to establish the Great Desolate Immortal Sect to rally the people of the Great Desolate Universe. However, we didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Lan had already established it. From a certain perspective, Fellow Daoist Lan has indeed overstepped. Using ‘Great Desolate’ as the name of a sect is not something just anyone can do. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lan has done well in repelling the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance. We’ve returned for two reasons: first, to assist Fellow Daoist Lan, as the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance will send even stronger forces here, and your current defenses won’t be enough to withstand them. Second, we hope Fellow Daoist Lan will step down as sect master. Your cultivation is slightly weak, and you’re not suited to lead the Great Desolate Immortal Sect."
Lan Xiaobu’s voice was cold.
"So, you can’t defeat the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance, and now you think the Great Desolate Immortal Sect is an easy target, huh? Trying to steal my sect’s territory—who sent you, some clown?"
"Sect Master Lan, please calm down," Gu Feihe quickly interjected.
He then turned to Xing Yongkai.
"Alliance Leader, I believe that since Sect Master Lan established the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, he is the most suitable person to lead it. We should join forces with him. It’s inappropriate to demand that he step aside."
Xing Yongkai sneered.
"What’s this, Gu Feihe? Do you think just because you’ve become an Immortal King, you can tell me, Xing Yongkai, what to do?"
Lan Xiaobu could see that the members of the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance were not united.
Without waiting for Xing Yongkai to speak further, Lan Xiaobu declared loudly, "Everyone here is a cultivator of the Great Desolate Universe. Since you’ve come here, you are all guests of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. If anyone tries to bully the host and drive us out of our home, don’t blame the Great Desolate Immortal Sect for being impolite. Those willing to join the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, please stand up and leave the guest hall."
"Lan Xiaobu, what do you mean by this?" Xing Yongkai’s murderous aura completely enveloped Lan Xiaobu.
If Lan Xiaobu made even the slightest move, he would kill him on the spot.
In fact, if it weren’t for the risk of losing the support of the others, he would have already struck.
Lan Xiaobu remained completely unperturbed.
Standing at the entrance of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect’s guest hall, he could activate the trapping and killing array before Xing Yongkai could crush him.
If anyone thought he needed to summon array flags to activate the array in his own territory, they were blind.
Once the trapping and killing array was activated, he could continuously increase its killing intent.
He didn’t need to worry about the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Zhi Immortals.
As long as he could take down Xing Yongkai with the help of Kong Zhengxing and Su Ou, the rest would fall into place.
Gu Feihe quickly said, "Sect Master Lan, I, Gu Feihe, am no one’s servant. I came here to join the Great Desolate Immortal Sect and contribute to the cultivators of the Great Desolate Universe."
With that, he walked out of the guest hall without hesitation.
Following his lead, more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Zhi Immortals who had stood up earlier also left the hall.
"You’re asking for death…" Xing Yongkai, seeing more and more people leaving, unleashed his Immortal King aura, pressing down on Lan Xiaobu as he took a step toward him.
Although Lan Xiaobu was only a Golden Immortal, his divine sense was strong enough to rival even a Great Yi Immortal.
Moreover, this was the guest hall.
Even though the array hadn’t been activated yet, the entire area was filled with arrays Lan Xiaobu had set up himself.
With just a thought, he could activate the fifth-grade trapping and killing array.
Almost simultaneously with Xing Yongkai’s Immortal King aura pressing down, Lan Xiaobu activated the Spirit-Locking and Essence-Suppressing Trapping and Killing Array.
At the same time, the fifth-grade trapping array and the fifth-grade killing array were also activated.
Lan Xiaobu’s hands moved swiftly, tossing out array flags.
In just a few breaths, the entire guest hall was filled with a killing space, turning into a gray, misty void.
Xing Yongkai’s steps faltered as he realized he was trapped within the array.
A cold sweat broke out on his back as he felt a pang of fear.
His divine sense had been locked onto Lan Xiaobu the entire time, yet he hadn’t noticed when the array was activated.
Moreover, he could sense that the array’s killing intent was growing stronger by the moment.
Xing Yongkai didn’t dare attack the array.
He knew all too well that Lü Xin, the sect master of the Great Yin Immortal Sect, had been killed by Lan Xiaobu’s trapping and killing array.
This man was indeed not to be trifled with—he had even set up such powerful arrays in the guest hall.
"Lan Xiaobu, how dare you attack me?" Xing Yongkai’s voice was filled with murderous intent and rage.
"Sect Master Lan, we truly didn’t come here with the intention to fight," Gu Feihe, who had already led more than a dozen people outside the guest hall, called out.
Seeing the guest hall enveloped in the trapping and killing array, and noticing that Kong Zhengxing, Su Ou, and Fu Qianhen had somehow appeared beside Lan Xiaobu, he realized that Lan Xiaobu was preparing to strike.
Lan Xiaobu said coldly, "If that’s the case, then why were two of my Great Desolate Immortal Sect disciples killed and injured at the entrance? You come to my sect’s territory, kill my disciples, and then dare to demand that I, the sect master, step down? How impressive. With such strength, I’m sure the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance has already claimed ninety percent of this immortal domain over the years, right?"
