Chapter 243: The Sect's Power Soars
Gu Feihe sighed.
He knew that the killing of the disciples from the Great Desolate Immortal Sect was undoubtedly orchestrated by Xing Yongkai.
Xing Yongkai, the leader of the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance, was truly incompetent.
Aside from his slightly higher cultivation level, he was utterly useless.
In fact, before arriving, Xing Yongkai had already made up his mind to assist the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
There was no other choice.
He had suffered repeated defeats, and the Great Desolate Immortal Sect had recently annihilated tens of thousands of soldiers from the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance.
Moreover, any sect daring to name itself "Great Desolate" in the Five Realms Immortal World must have been founded by an Immortal King.
Thus, Xing Yongkai initially came as a guest, hoping to collaborate with the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
However, upon arriving, Xing Yongkai discovered that the Great Desolate Immortal Sect's strength was pitifully low.
The strongest among them, Kong Zhengxing and Su Ou, had previously left the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance.
Even their strength was insignificant compared to the group he had brought.
Apart from these two, the strongest cultivator in the Great Desolate Immortal Sect was Fu Qianhen, an Earthly Immortal, still far from reaching the Great Yi Immortal level.
He also heard that the sect's leader, Lan Xiaobu, wasn't even an Earthly Immortal.
The rumors were clearly exaggerated, meaning the true strength of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect he had heard about was partially false.
All these factors combined fueled Xing Yongkai's ambition.
He took the initiative to sit in the main seat and even ordered two Great Yi Immortals to guard the entrance of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, killing anyone who resisted.
Additionally, he planned to take Lan Xiaobu as his disciple.
This approach was meant to use both soft and hard tactics, making everyone in the Great Desolate Immortal Sect understand that opposing an Immortal King was futile.
Unfortunately, Lan Xiaobu, the sect leader of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, despite being only a Golden Immortal, was not intimidated by the threat of an Immortal King.
After just three sentences, he directly activated the Entrapping Kill Formation.
"Sect Leader Lan, there seems to be a misunderstanding. We are definitely not here to oppose the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. We are all cultivators of the Great Desolate Universe. If we fight among ourselves here, wouldn't it be a joke for the other cosmic alliances? Even if this gets out, it won't be good for the Great Desolate Immortal Sect," a familiar voice came from within the formation.
Hearing this voice, Lan Xiaobu knew it was the long-haired elder.
This guy had previously refused to acknowledge Lan Xiaobu's position as sect leader, addressing him as "Brother Lan" and even demanding that Lan Xiaobu step down.
Now, trapped in Lan Xiaobu's Entrapping Kill Formation, he was panicking.
Lan Xiaobu's Entrapping Kill Formation had even killed an Immortal King.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal like him was nothing.
Xing Yongkai remained silent, only summoning his magical treasure, ready to break the formation at any moment.
He was certain that with Lan Xiaobu's decisive personality, any disagreement would lead to his immediate execution.
Before being trapped in the formation, he wouldn't have cared.
But now, caught off guard, he was at a loss.
Until Lan Xiaobu made a move, he dared not do anything reckless.
Most importantly, more than half of the people he brought had already left the formation, showing their dissatisfaction with him as the alliance leader.
"Sect Leader Lan, Xing Yongkai was wrong in this matter, but he has bled and sacrificed for the Great Desolate Universe over the years. Please, for the sake of us all being cultivators of the Great Desolate Universe, let this matter go," Gu Feihe stepped forward, clasping his fists in a plea for reconciliation.
Hearing Gu Feihe's words, Lan Xiaobu knew that Gu Feihe had decided to leave the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance.
Previously, he addressed Xing Yongkai as "Alliance Leader," but now he called him "Brother Xing," indicating he no longer wished to follow Xing Yongkai.
Lan Xiaobu nodded to Gu Feihe, then addressed those trapped in the formation, "For the sake of Brother Gu and the many cultivators who have contributed to the Great Desolate Universe, I will let this matter go this time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
With that, Lan Xiaobu took out several formation flags and arranged them, creating a narrow passage that appeared before the cultivators in the guest hall.
This passage led directly out of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
"Leave my Great Desolate Immortal Sect immediately. In half an incense stick's time, I will seal the formation," Lan Xiaobu's voice was cold.
Xing Yongkai was furious, but he knew that with Lan Xiaobu's mastery of formations, continuing to argue would only humiliate him further.
As Lan Xiaobu opened the passage, Xing Yongkai left without looking back, taking his people with him.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Lan," Gu Feihe quickly clasped his fists in gratitude, seeing that Lan Xiaobu had not resorted to complete annihilation.
Given Lan Xiaobu's personality, Xing Yongkai would have been killed without question.
But Lan Xiaobu knew he couldn't kill Xing Yongkai now.
Firstly, there were too many powerful figures present, and killing Xing Yongkai could lead to unforeseen consequences.
More importantly, Lan Xiaobu wanted to recruit Gu Feihe and the eleven Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Zhi Immortals by his side.
If he killed Xing Yongkai, this recruitment would certainly fail.
Dealing with the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance wasn't just about numbers; it required Immortal King-level power, which he currently lacked.
After Xing Yongkai left with his group, Lan Xiaobu performed a sect leader's salute to Gu Feihe and said, "Brother Gu, and all fellow cultivators here, I, Lan Xiaobu, on behalf of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, invite you to join our sect. Would you be willing?"
Gu Feihe was overjoyed and quickly returned the salute, "Thank you, Sect Leader Lan, for your magnanimity. We came here with the intention of joining the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. However, my injuries are severe, and I fear I won't be of much use in the upcoming battles."
All the cultivators present understood that the imminent battle would determine the survival of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
Only after this battle would the sect truly stand firm in this immortal domain.
Lan Xiaobu smiled slightly, "Brother Gu, don't worry about your injuries. As an Immortal King, how about becoming an elder of our Great Desolate Immortal Sect?"
"Thank you, Sect Leader. From today onwards, I, Gu Feihe, am a member of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. As long as the sect treats me with sincerity, unless I die or my path is extinguished, I will never betray the Great Desolate Immortal Sect," Gu Feihe swore without hesitation.
Following Gu Feihe's oath, the others also swore their allegiance.
Although Gu Feihe was only the deputy leader of the Great Desolate Cultivator Alliance, he was far more popular than Xing Yongkai.
Those who stayed were mostly those who trusted Gu Feihe.
After everyone took the sect oath, Gu Feihe began introducing the others, and Lan Xiaobu learned the names and strengths of the remaining eleven.
Aside from Gu Feihe, the Immortal King, there were five Great Luo Golden Immortals and six Great Zhi Immortals.
Among them, Wen Lun was a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak, You Yihe was at the late stage, Yin Hao was at the mid-stage, and Su Jianlie and Qiu Boxuan were at the early stage.
With such strength, Lan Xiaobu knew that the upcoming Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army, no matter how numerous, would not be a threat.
Cultivator battles were different from mortal wars; numbers alone couldn't guarantee victory.
In cultivator battles, it was the strong who decided the outcome.
If an Immortal Venerable appeared, even tens of thousands of cultivators would be useless.
His previous concern had been the two Immortal Kings in the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance.
Now, with one Immortal King and seven Great Luo Golden Immortals, he could first eliminate the two Immortal Kings and then deal with the remaining Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Zhi Immortals.
"Sect Leader, I failed this time..."
Kong Zhengxing stepped forward, filled with regret.
If he hadn't opened the formation gate, Xing Yongkai and his group would have had to wait outside and couldn't have entered the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
Lan Xiaobu patted Kong Zhengxing's shoulder, "Brother Zhengxing, who could have predicted this? They were all familiar faces. Just be more cautious in the future."
Lan Xiaobu spoke openly in front of everyone, making it clear that they must never allow a force capable of destroying the Great Desolate Immortal Sect to enter so casually again.
If he weren't a grand formation master, the Great Desolate Immortal Sect would have been wiped out today.
"Sect Leader, I estimate that the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army will arrive in a few days. This time is different from the last, and..."
Gu Feihe's expression turned grave.
He was still heavily injured and unable to contribute much.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "Everyone, rest assured. In the coming days, follow me to familiarize yourselves with my Entrapping Kill Formation and Strangling Immortal Formation. Previously, without an Immortal King and only two Great Luo Golden Immortals, I wasn't afraid of the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army. Now, with the help of all the elders and the complete defensive formation, we will definitely crush the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army. Once we destroy the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army, we will reclaim their secret realm and set up a protective formation. In the future, disciples of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect will enter the secret realm through teleportation based on their contributions. I believe any Great Luo Golden Immortal in our sect can advance to Immortal King, and any Great Zhi Immortal can reach the Great Luo Immortal level."
"Thank you, Sect Leader," the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Zhi Immortals were overjoyed.
Why had they joined the cultivator alliance? Wasn't it for cultivation resources? Now, as individuals, it was too difficult to seize cultivation resources; they needed to rely on collective strength.
"Sect Leader, I know of a secret realm within the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance that contains Kingly Dao Fruits. These fruits can be used to refine Kingly Immortal Pills, which have a thirty to forty percent chance of helping a Great Luo Golden Immortal advance to Immortal King," You Yihe excitedly stepped forward.
He was at the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal and would soon reach the peak.
What he needed most was the Kingly Immortal Pill.
"Good. After we destroy the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army, our first priority will be to seize this secret realm. Elder You, as a new elder of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, once you advance to Immortal King, you will become the peak master of one of our sect's peaks," Lan Xiaobu immediately promised.
These people had just joined the Great Desolate Immortal Sect with their own goals.
It was only fair to offer them a promising future in exchange for their contributions.
"Sect Leader, I feel ashamed. This time, the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance will likely bring at least two Immortal Kings. I don't think they will enter the formation like last time. Our best strategy is to use the formation to defend the Great Desolate Immortal Sect and wait for my injuries to heal before discussing further," Gu Feihe said, seeing that Lan Xiaobu kept talking about destroying the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance army.
He knew this wasn't a normal mindset.
The 'Great Desolate Heavenly Soldiers' had fought the Great Profound Cultivator Alliance countless times, losing more often than winning.
Even the few victories were minor.
The current strength of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect was still too low.
Lan Xiaobu took out a jade box and handed it to Gu Feihe, "Elder Gu, focus on healing your injuries first. Once you recover, I will need your help. The Immortal Kings on their side won't be easy to kill. We must also have an Immortal King."
Gu Feihe instinctively took the jade box and opened it, then exclaimed in shock, "Nine-Leaf Transcendence Flower?"
This was exactly what he needed, and now it was right before him.

Goodnight, friends.)
