Chapter 423: Rage
“Why did Jin Li run away? And why are you all still searching for him?” An Immortal Court King asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
“Because Jin Li obtained the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk. Not only that, he also got thirty-six Heavenly Gang Formation Flags…” A cultivator who had entered the Chaotic Secret Realm answered with the explanation known to all who had been inside.
The Immortal Court King Li Yuansha from Yongmao Immortal Domain glared at one Immortal King and asked, “Fu Shi, what exactly happened? Jin Li is an Immortal King of Yongmao Immortal Domain. With the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk in his possession, why would he run away?”
The Immortal King, his eyes red and voice trembling with rage, replied, “Jin Li is not fit to be a person at all. After he obtained the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, he actually chose to sell all thirty-six formation flags. I merely asked him one question, and he mocked you and our Yongmao Immortal Domain, even saying that he would only settle in the Green Square Immortal Domain and never return to Yongmao Immortal Domain.”
Li Yuansha’s face turned ashen with anger.
From Fu Shi’s words and from the various comments of the surrounding Immortal Kings who had entered the Chaotic Secret Realm, Li Yuansha had already understood: the Immortal King of Yongmao Immortal Domain had obtained the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk and all thirty-six formation flags.
And as a result, our Yongmao Immortal Domain did not gain a single flag.
“Five Universe King, now that the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm ordeal has ended, how do you think we should handle the aftermath?” Wu Qiancheng stepped forward and clasped hands in salute toward Lan Xiaobu.
The Moon Spirit Immortal Court had obtained one Heavenly Gang Formation Flag as well.
Of course, this was because Lan Xiaobu liked Wu Qiancheng a bit and deliberately sold one to them.
Lan Xiaobu stepped forward and said, “At this point, holding Jin Li accountable is secondary. The most important matter is dealing with the imminent Immortal World calamity. Our journey in the Chaotic Secret Realm went relatively completely, and at least we acquired the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, and all thirty-six formation flags are here. Now, I ask that the Immortal Court Kings who have obtained the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Formation Flags come forward. After all, this is a matter concerning the entire Immortal World, not just one sect or one person.”
At that moment, every Immortal King who had secured a formation flag handed his flag to the Immortal Court King of his sect.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, thirty-five Immortal Court Kings immediately stepped forward.
Since the flags were auctioned publicly, if you did not step forward, someone else would point you out.
The Immortal Court Kings of Immortal Domains that had not obtained any formation flag looked grim.
Some even had a murderous glint in their eyes, ready to snatch them away.
Lan Xiaobu continued, “Including my own Five Universe Immortal Domain, a total of thirty-six Immortal Domains have obtained Heavenly Gang Formation Flags. In theory, these thirty-six domains can all weather the upcoming calamity. But this calamity, the Immortal World's calamity, is a disaster that none can escape simply by having a single formation flag. As we discussed earlier, these thirty-six Immortal Domains have the responsibility to receive cultivators from the other Immortal Domains and let them settle in their domains. In a moment, I will announce the void coordinates of my Five Universe Immortal Domain, and I welcome cultivators from Immortal Domains that did not obtain formation flags to enter my Five Universe Immortal Domain…”
A round of warm applause broke out.
Lan Xiaobu’s words were forthright, and he even chose to publicly announce the void coordinates of the Five Universe Immortal Domain, which was simply exemplary.
“I support the proposal of the Five Universe King, and as Moon Spirit Immortal Domain has also obtained a flag, I will likewise announce the void coordinates for my Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, welcoming cultivators from any Immortal Domain to settle there,” said Wu Qiancheng as the second to speak.
Soon, Immortal Court Kings from Mo Xuan Immortal Domain, Kong Lin Immortal Domain, and others with Heavenly Gang Formation Flags all expressed their willingness to release their void coordinates and to welcome cultivators from other domains to take refuge in their own against the calamity.
Finally, even Shen Sen had no choice but to step forward and agree to allow cultivators from other domains to enter the Green Square Immortal Domain.
Lan Xiaobu spoke again, “Together, united as one, we must preserve the greatest force of the Immortal World amid this calamity. I propose that if any Immortal Domain that has obtained a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag comes under attack, all the other Immortal Domains may rise up together to defend and preserve peace in the Immortal World.”
No one objected to this proposal.
With Lan Xiaobu’s Immortal Domain holding a formation flag, he voluntarily allowed cultivators from other domains to enter the Five Universe Immortal Domain and even encouraged the other domains with flags to permit cultivators from domains that did not obtain a flag to take refuge.
How could anyone object to that?
“Five Universe King, my concern is with Jin Li. He sold the Heavenly Gang Formation Flags but did not sell the formation base of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk. I worry that without the formation base, the Heavenly Gang Star Formation might yet be completed,” an Immortal Court King worried aloud.
Lan Xiaobu replied, “Everyone need not be concerned about that point. Firstly, Jin Li is in the Immortal World; he will never allow the Immortal World to vanish. The disappearance of the Immortal World benefits no one, for he will vanish along with it. So when the calamity comes, he will certainly produce the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk to complement the formation flags and complete the Heavenly Gang Star Formation. Secondly, we must put him under a wanted notice as well. We should not pin all our hopes on him voluntarily producing the formation base. By the way, Jin Li can change his appearance easily and has top-grade Escape Talismans. Everyone should keep a close eye on him.”
At this moment, Hong Qianyun, the vice president of the Jiting Chamber of Commerce, suddenly stepped forward and said, “Our Jiting Chamber of Commerce has some suspicions. This person once took on the guise of the Five Universe King in Jingyun Immortal City. Under our chamber’s siege, he escaped with that very same Escape Talisman—a talisman that surpasses the ninth-level Immortal Escape Talismans. It is something from the Divine Realm. We had long been speculating about his identity, and to our surprise, it turns out it is Jin Li.”
The Jiting Chamber of Commerce had once attempted to kill Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu surely knew that, and there was no need to hide it.
Now that it has been spoken, he might as well tell Lan Xiaobu that their suspicions about the person were mistaken.
Lan Xiaobu said, “In that case, let us leave this Void Stone for now. I guess it will soon be swallowed up by the Void Island.”
Whether or not one had obtained a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, after Lan Xiaobu collected the formation flags from the Void Stone, everyone rushed out.
If it were not for the Chaotic Secret Realm of the Void Island, none would be willing to stay inside someone else’s Entrapping Kill Immortal Formation.
Outside the Void Stone, the Void Plaza was bustling at that moment.
Many shops had been waiting for a decade just for this moment of business opportunity.
Anything emerging from the Chaotic Secret Realm sold very well here.
Though Lan Xiaobu did not hold in high regard Immortal Spirit Grass below the ninth level, in this place, every single sprout was snapped up by someone.
Lan Xiaobu felt several subtle gazes sweep over him, but he didn’t mind.
With his speed, along with Gong Yunqi and Nie Xiangyu, even if a group of Immortal Emperors were chasing after him, he would be fine.
At that moment, Lan Xiaobu’s attention was on the Void Stone behind him.
After everyone left the Void Stone, it gradually became blurred until it finally disappeared without a trace…
Some distance away, in a dark place in another plane, a shrill voice echoed, “Who is it? Who in the world took away my Heavenly Gang Formation Disk?”
“Couldn’t you retrieve the formation disk yourself? How could someone take it away?” A soft voice came from not far from where the shrill sound originated.
The shrill voice spat bitterly, “That person actually removed the mark from my formation disk.”
“Heh, don’t try to fool me. As long as they are in that realm, even if the mark is removed from your formation disk, it can be copied back.”
“No, my mark was truly stripped away, it wasn’t replicated. This person likely comes from an extraordinarily high-level world.”
“Then aren’t you suffering a huge loss? You once claimed to have obtained the lost ‘Manipulating Creation’ and ‘Inverting Yin and Yang’?”
“Indeed, I did attain Manipulating Creation and Inverting Yin and Yang. But unfortunately, after that person took away ten formation flags, there was no further news. I failed to get what I most desired – the ability to resurrect, and all of my other formation flags were taken away. That person is very likely a master of Divine Formations. What frustrates me most is that this fellow didn’t even manage to locate the most valuable place within the Chaotic Secret Realm…”
“Impossible! That is the Immortal World.”
“No, I must leave, or else my Heavenly Gang Formation Disk…”
“Enough talk. You really think you can escape and still meet today?”
Without missing a beat, the commotion continued!
…
After regaining his focus on the Void Stone, Lan Xiaobu suddenly felt that after leaving the Chaotic Secret Realm, he had become much more at ease.
Perhaps he should be grateful — grateful that he did not uncover the true location of chaos within the Chaotic Secret Realm.
Otherwise, how could he stand here so calmly?
“Master Bu, what shall we do now?” Gong Yunqi asked, looking at the lively and bustling Void Plaza.
After all, having spent ten years in the Chaotic Secret Realm, Lan Xiaobu must have amassed plenty of Immortal Spirit Grass.
If Lan Xiaobu wished to sell goods here, he would have no objections.
“We need to immediately return to the Five Universe Immortal Realm. I suspect that the greatest crisis is about to befall the Five Universe Immortal Realm. Our Five Universe Immortal Realm has very few Immortal Emperors, and I’ve offended too many powerful figures here. I’m afraid these people will all come to Five Universe Immortal Realm to pick a fight,” Lan Xiaobu said.
Nie Xiangyu, however, remarked, “Xiaobu, I think the most critical matter now is how to return to the Five Universe Immortal Realm. Previously, you managed the Entrapping Kill Immortal Formation on the Void Stone, and no one dared to oppose you. But you must realize the worst evil in this world – these people have never considered that if you did not lead, they could not have entered the Chaotic Secret Realm peacefully. What they are thinking is that the Five Universe Immortal Realm is the weakest, and they want to kill you, the Five Universe King. Thus, the road back is the most dangerous.”
Before Lan Xiaobu could reply, Gong Yunqi burst out laughing, “That need not worry us. We will definitely be able to return safely to the Five Universe Immortal Realm.”
Lan Xiaobu had the wind at his back, yet he truly understood the risks.
“Five Universe King,” Wu Qiancheng stepped forward and handed over a communication bead.
He came to exchange communication beads with Lan Xiaobu.
After they exchanged beads, Wu Qiancheng said, “Five Universe King, if you ever need any help from me, Wu Qiancheng will never hesitate for a moment. Others may not know of your contributions in this Chaotic Secret Realm, but I am well aware.”
Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily, “Brother Wu, I have made a friend in you. As I always say, if you ever require my help, just send me a signal.”
“Alright,” Wu Qiancheng replied joyfully.
Despite Lan Xiaobu only being at the Immortal King Realm, he felt that among the Immortal Court Kings gathered here, his potential was the greatest.
He held very high hopes for Lan Xiaobu.
“Five Universe King, I advise you to leave now—and quickly. Do not let anyone stop you,” Wu Qiancheng transmitted his true feelings to Lan Xiaobu.
“I was just about to leave. Brother Wu, until we meet again,” Lan Xiaobu said.
Without delay, he invoked the Feng Luan and, together with Gong Yunqi, Nie Xiangyu, and Qiao Xing, charged out of the Void Plaza.
