Chapter 392: Things Have Gotten a Bit Out of Hand
"Boom!" The violent shaking of the protective formation at the entrance jolted Lan Xiaobu awake.
When he saw a long-haired man attacking the protective formation of his shop, Lan Xiaobu was furious.
"You've got some nerve, daring to openly attack my formation," Lan Xiaobu said coldly as he wiped his face, reverting to his original appearance.
"Five Realms King, if you go out like this, I'm afraid it might draw Qian Qiong's attention," Mou Yichen quickly warned.
Mou Yichen was aware of the feud between Qian Qiong and Lan Xiaobu.
Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to it because he didn't know who Qian Qiong was.
However, after returning to Nine Swords Immortal Mountain, he learned just how terrifying Qian Qiong was.
This was a man who didn't even fear half-step Divine Realm experts.
Not only that, but he also owned a piece of land on the Void Stone.
In the Void Stone, there weren't many territories that couldn't be taken by force, and Qian Qiong's land was one of them.
After learning about Qian Qiong's strength, Mou Yichen thought it was wise for Lan Xiaobu to disguise himself as someone else.
What he didn't expect was that Lan Xiaobu would revert to his true appearance so soon after entering the city, rendering the previous disguise useless.
Lan Xiaobu replied, "I'm not worried about Qian Qiong; it's other factors. I originally planned to stay here quietly for seven or eight years and only reveal my true appearance in the last year. But plans change. The registration for the Chaos Secret Realm is happening now, so I have to reveal my identity earlier than planned."
Lan Xiaobu was also somewhat helpless.
No longer appearing as Qiao Aomu meant he couldn't lure Qiao Aomu over.
As for Qian Qiong, he could always seek him out later.
A powerhouse like Qian Qiong would be easy to find.
Of course, the main reason for his disguise wasn't to avoid Qian Qiong but to avoid conflict with the Jiting Chamber of Commerce.
Now that someone was attacking his formation and he needed to register under his own identity, Lan Xiaobu naturally wouldn't continue to disguise himself.
An Immortal Court King disguising himself would only make him appear weaker in the competition for spots.
"You've got guts, attacking my residence's formation," Lan Xiaobu said as he opened the formation, looking at the long-haired man in front of him.
He wondered if this guy was Xi Chenshui.
Only someone like Xi Chenshui would dare to do something like this.
"This man is Xi Chenshui, the East District Supervisor of Jinyun Immortal City. His uncle, Xi Qiao, is the city's defense commander and holds significant power," Mou Yichen quickly transmitted to Lan Xiaobu, worried that Lan Xiaobu might provoke a conflict with this man.
If Lan Xiaobu clashed with Xi Chenshui, it would definitely not end well for him.
So it was this guy.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was considering whether to kill him, Xi Chenshui sneered and extended his hand, saying, "Your talisman shop? Yuan Shuanghe already agreed to sell it to me. Get out of here now, and I'll spare you once."
Lan Xiaobu thought to himself, is this guy an idiot? He didn't bother arguing and simply pulled out a deed, saying, "This is the deed Yuan Shuanghe sold to me. Got a problem with that?"
"Bring out Yuan Shuanghe, the owner of this talisman shop. I want to ask him what he's eaten to have the guts to do this," Xi Chenshui barked.
"As for you, get out of here. Leave the deed behind."
Lan Xiaobu put the deed away and said indifferently, "Why should I leave my deed with you? According to the laws of the Qingfang Immortal Court, attacking someone's residence without permission gives the owner the right to kill the intruder."
"Hahaha..."
Xi Chenshui laughed.
"This is the first time I've heard an outsider lecturing me about the laws of the Qingfang Immortal Domain. Here, I am the law."
After saying this, he clapped his hands, and over a hundred figures rushed over, surrounding Lan Xiaobu's talisman shop in an instant.
"Arrest these people. They look suspicious, clearly spies from another immortal domain. Throw them in jail first," Xi Chenshui ordered with a wave of his hand.
"Brother Gong, wait for them to make the first move, then kill Xi Chenshui. Make sure they strike first," Lan Xiaobu transmitted to Gong Yunqi.
The hundred or so people immediately charged at Lan Xiaobu.
As several of them unleashed their magical treasures toward him, Gong Yunqi raised his hand and swept them away.
The attackers were sent flying and fell to the ground, lifeless.
Xi Chenshui was shocked and tried to retreat, but Gong Yunqi just grinned and slapped him.
Xi Chenshui immediately felt an overwhelming sense of death.
The space around him solidified, and he couldn't move a muscle.
Fear filled Xi Chenshui's eyes.
He had never imagined that someone would dare to kill a district supervisor in Jinyun Immortal City.
"Boom!" Gong Yunqi's palm came down, and Xi Chenshui was instantly reduced to a bloody pulp, without even a chance to beg for mercy.
The remaining soldiers were stunned.
Killing a district supervisor in Jinyun Immortal City was unprecedented.
Was this a challenge to the Qingfang Immortal Court?
Even with the upcoming secret realm opening and the gathering of experts from various immortal domains, no one had ever caused trouble within Jinyun Immortal City.
If they wanted to cause trouble, they did it at the edges of the Void Island.
Causing trouble here would inevitably lead to conflict with the Qingfang Immortal Court.
In the next moment, several red lights shot into the sky, and the soldiers quickly retreated.
Killing a supervisor here would be dealt with by the immortal court's experts.
They were just ordinary soldiers who usually bullied shops.
Seeing someone kill Xi Chenshui without hesitation, they knew better than to stick around.
"Five Realms King, this matter has escalated. The Qingfang Immortal Domain isn't like other domains. They have three half-step Divine Realm experts and countless Immortal Emperors..."
Mou Yichen's face was pale.
No matter how this was handled, Nine Swords Immortal Mountain would be implicated.
He was with Lan Xiaobu, and Lan Xiaobu's subordinate had killed Xi Chenshui in Jinyun Immortal City.
Could things get any worse?
Almost immediately after the soldiers retreated, four figures rushed over from the distance and landed in front of Lan Xiaobu and the others, blocking their retreat.
"Haha, four people, and only one Immortal Emperor. Who do they think they're dealing with?" Gong Yunqi scoffed as he glanced at the four.
"Elder Mou?" The sole Immortal Emperor frowned when he saw Mou Yichen.
"Mou Yichen greets Supervisor Yuan," Mou Yichen clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
He then transmitted to Lan Xiaobu, "This Immortal Emperor is Yuan Jitai, the supervisor of Jinyun Immortal City."
Seeing that it was an Immortal Emperor, the other three Immortal Venerable supervisors remained silent.
"Elder Mou, as an Immortal Emperor elder of Nine Swords Immortal Mountain, why did you kill a city supervisor in Jinyun Immortal City?" Yuan Jitai asked with a slight frown.
Nine Swords Immortal Mountain still had several Immortal Emperors and was considered a significant sect.
Before Mou Yichen could respond, Lan Xiaobu said, "This matter has nothing to do with Nine Swords Immortal Mountain. Mou Yichen is a friend of mine who came to do some business with me because he knows I'm the Five Realms King. As for Xi Chenshui, he was killed by my subordinate."
"You're the Five Realms King?" Yuan Jitai looked at Lan Xiaobu in surprise.
He hadn't expected an Immortal Court King to be staying in such a place.
"That's right. I am the Five Realms King. If you have any issues, have your city lord come find me," Lan Xiaobu said without hesitation.
When he was in hiding, he kept a low profile.
But now that he had openly declared himself the Five Realms King, there was no need to be modest.
"Since you're the Five Realms King, your matter will be handled by the immortal court. In three days, the Qingfang Immortal Court will convene a meeting of all immortal domains to discuss the allocation of spots for the Chaos Secret Realm. I bid you farewell," Yuan Jitai said before turning and leaving without another word.
"What's the meaning of this? Knowing he's only an early-stage Immortal Emperor, he didn't dare to make a move?" Gong Yunqi chuckled.
Mou Yichen shook his head.
"Probably not. In three days, the allocation of spots for the Chaos Secret Realm will be decided. This matter will likely have a significant impact on the Five Realms Immortal Domain."
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand.
"No need to worry. Since I'm here representing the Five Realms Immortal Domain, I'm not afraid of others trying to take what belongs to us. As for you, Elder Mou, I apologize for dragging you into this. If you don't mind, after this matter is settled, why not move to the Five Realms Immortal Domain? We would welcome your sect with open arms."
With this incident, Mou Yichen had no desire to stay any longer.
He clasped his hands and said, "Five Realms King, I need to return and discuss this matter with my sect. I bid you farewell."
"Boss Lan, this has gotten a bit out of hand," Gong Yunqi said after Mou Yichen left.
Lan Xiaobu shrugged.
"I was afraid it wouldn't be big enough. This is the time to show our strength. When I found out the allocation of spots was being moved up, I was already thinking of stirring up some trouble. This Xi guy came knocking on his own, so he brought this on himself. You stay here and wait for me. I need to go out and set up some formations. Otherwise, we're a bit outnumbered."
...
"What? Lan Xiaobu is the Five Realms King?" In the top floor of the Jiting Chamber of Commerce's building, Hong Qianyun stared in disbelief at the message in his hand.
A elder standing below him said, "In that case, let's surround him and capture him immediately."
Hong Qianyun shook his head.
"We can't act so openly. Our chamber of commerce only has one chance to act, and we've already used it on Yan Chengjian. If we act again, we'll anger the city lord of Jinyun Immortal City. After all, this is his territory. Moreover, this Lan Xiaobu just killed the East District Supervisor Xi Chenshui, and with him being the Five Realms King, this isn't something our chamber of commerce can handle alone."
After pondering for a moment, Hong Qianyun said, "Elder Peng, in three days, we'll also attend the spot allocation meeting. Prepare for it and bring Elder Xueyi along."
He was puzzled.
Lan Xiaobu had clearly escaped, so why had he reappeared so openly in Jinyun Immortal City?
"Yes," a gray-robed man responded.
(That's all for today's update.
Goodnight, friends!)
