Chapter 440 – Five Universe King Lan Xiaobu
“You…” Geng Xin roared in anger.
Whether it was before or after the Immortal Court Crown Prince, he had always been someone above all others.
People only ever fawned over him and flattered him.
Who did this arrogant fellow think he was to speak so impudently? Geng Xin, speaking politely as always, was being insulted.
After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, a being whose mere stomp of the foot could make the entire Moon Spirit Immortal Domain tremble.
However, before he could fully erupt, a voice reached his ears, “Prince Xin, do not act impulsively. Leave immediately and inform the Great Emperor …”
Those words fell like a bucket of cold water on him, forcing Geng Xin to quickly compose himself.
The man before him was none other than Five Universe King Lan Xiaobu—a being who ruled supreme in front of over a hundred Immortal Domain and Immortal Court kings.
In front of Five Universe King, he truly was nothing at all.
It was said that on his way back, Five Universe King was ambushed and supposedly killed.
Yet here he was, alive and well.
Not only that, he had arrogantly traversed the void alone and arrived in the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain.
It was rumored that the Five Universe King was meticulous in his plans.
Since he dared to save someone here, it was clear that he had long since arranged a Void Immortal Array.
What right did Geng Xin have to act arrogantly in front of Lan Xiaobu? Unless he wanted to throw his life away.
Taking a deep breath, Geng Xin forced himself to calm down and put on a smile as he said, “Five Universe King, you are joking. Since you are not willing to grant me an audience, then I shall take my leave.”
“Is that so? You wish to leave so quickly?” With that, Lan Xiaobu stretched out his hand and reached for Geng Xin’s neck.
Geng Xin was startled and tried to dodge, but he soon found that every direction around him was covered by the shadow of Lan Xiaobu’s hand.
No matter where he tried to escape, in the end, Lan Xiaobu would still clamp onto his neck.
“Five Universe King, please do not act rashly…” A certain Immortal Emperor called out and quickly stepped forward in an effort to stop him.
But as soon as he took a step, Lan Xiaobu had already gripped Geng Xin’s neck tightly and twisted him harshly.
Seeing how Lan Xiaobu had already caught Geng Xin by the neck, that Immortal Emperor immediately halted, too afraid to move further.
In his own way, he had done what his duty required by warning Five Universe King not to take action and stepping forward several paces.
But what happened next was beyond his control.
He had personally witnessed Lan Xiaobu’s terror firsthand, having once stepped into the Void Stone himself.
Unlike those who followed Wu Qiancheng, he had no doubt about Lan Xiaobu’s ferocity.
He was certain that if anyone dared to step too close, they would be taken down without mercy.
When dozens of Immortal Emperors from the Green Square Immortal Domain attacked Lan Xiaobu, what was the outcome? All were killed.
And what of Qian Qiong from the Weixing Immortal Domain, whose reputation was formidable and whose strength was absurd? After provoking Lan Xiaobu, he was tossed to the edge of the Void Stone and his soul was roasted by flames for a full forty-nine days until he breathed his last.
With such a ruthless figure, it was best not to get him angry.
Lan Xiaobu threw Geng Xin aside near Wu Xiuru, “Take this man and carry him. We will enter the city and take a break later.”
“Yes.” Wu Xiuru’s hands trembled with excitement.
She had heard stories of Lan Xiaobu from her father.
Seeing him in person now, she realized just how conservative her father’s words had been.
This behavior was hardly that of a mere Five Universe King—it was the attitude of the sovereign of the Immortal World.
Although Lu Qi was only an Immortal Emperor at the third level, he was once a favorite of Geng Wuxue, the current Immortal Court King of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, and also Geng Xin’s chief steward.
His word was law—who would dare to speak loudly in his presence? Yet now, Lu Qi was speaking in a low, servile tone beside Lan Xiaobu, barely daring to straighten his back.
As for the even more arrogant Geng Xin, he lay at Wu Xiuru’s feet like a dying dog.
At that moment, she finally understood what sort of existence the Five Universe King, whom her father had sent her to find, truly was.
Ai Ying’er clenched her fists tightly.
She felt utterly desperate, never imagining that there could be someone as defiant and against the heavens as the Five Universe King.
And as fate would have it, this Five Universe King was a friend of her husband Wu Qiancheng.
How the world turned was beyond prediction.
The onlookers around were utterly silent.
They too had only heard the legends of the Five Universe King, and today they were finally witnessing the man of legend in person.
Even though no one had made a move, just from his aura they could tell that the rumors were likely true.
Who in someone else’s territory would dare to be that arrogant? Were they not afraid that the World Protection Formation would activate and imprison him? Five Universe King dared to act so boldly—he rescued someone outside the Immortal City, clamped onto the neck of the Immortal Court king’s son, and tossed him aside with a casual air.
Even when hundreds of guards stepped forward to surround him, he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
And that was not all.
Who would dare to perform such acts and then casually enter the Immortal City? Didn’t they know that as soon as they stepped into the Immortal City, they would be locked up by the Entrapping Kill Immortal Array? Yet Five Universe King dared.
He even walked straight into the Immortal City, saying that he just wanted to rest for a while.
“As cultivators, this is how we should be.” One of the observing cultivators sighed.
Many others clenched their fists tightly—vowing that they would become as strong as Five Universe King, speaking and acting decisively, without any need for hiding or evasiveness.
There was nothing they could do about it—his strength was simply unmatchable.
As Lan Xiaobu entered the city, countless guards surrounding him voluntarily cleared the way.
Wu Xiuru carried Geng Xin and Ai Ying’er and followed behind him.
“Five Universe King, in the Moon Spirit Immortal Court…” Lu Qi, who stood beside Geng Xin, spoke in a tone full of supplication.
Before he could finish his sentence, Lan Xiaobu cut him off, “You go and tell Geng Wuxue to come see me immediately. Otherwise, he will regret it.”
After saying that, Lan Xiaobu no longer paid any attention to him, and strode straight toward Twin Moon Immortal City.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu depart into the distance, Lu Qi stood there in shock for quite a while before finally pulling out his communication bead and quickly sending several messages.
He didn’t even dare to show any anger, for he knew that in the presence of the Five Universe King, he was nothing more than an ant.
And he was sure that Lan Xiaobu’s strength had grown at least ten times stronger than it was back when they met at the Void Stone.
When your opponent is that mighty, it is best for a person like him—rootless and without a foundation—not to offend him.
Besides, he wasn’t exactly someone who sold his loyalty to the Geng family.
There were some things Lu Qi simply could not control.
“Senior Lan, I know that Twin Moon Immortal City has a grand Immortal Rest Pavilion called Xuanxing Immortal Rest Pavilion. How about we head there?” Wu Xiuru said from behind.
Lan Xiaobu replied, “Let’s not go to Xuanxing Immortal Rest Pavilion first. Are you familiar with the Twin Moon Merchant Guild?”
Wu Xiuru immediately responded, “Yes, I know. The Twin Moon Merchant Guild is the largest merchant guild in the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, steeped in history, and capable of acquiring things that no one else can. Their strength is formidable—even my father wouldn’t dare to offend them casually.”
Beside her, Ai Ying’er said, “This time, the Twin Moon Merchant Guild was involved in taking action against Qiancheng as well.”
“Mother?” Wu Xiuru stared at her in shock.
She hadn’t known such things existed.
Ai Ying’er sighed and didn’t explain further.
There were many matters Wu Xiuru was unaware of, and she didn’t want her daughter to know too much.
Lan Xiaobu merely nodded, “In that case, let us go to the Twin Moon Merchant Guild.”
Ai Ying’er knew that now was not the time to go to the Twin Moon Merchant Guild.
Even if one wanted to stir up trouble, they should at least rescue Qiancheng first.
Going after the Twin Moon Merchant Guild now would alert the enemy, giving them a chance to band together.
But she said nothing further.
Deep down she thought that if Five Universe King was so rough and clumsy in his actions, he wouldn’t be able to control the Void Stone, nor could he have survived there.
Even as a Ninth-Level Void Immortal Array Emperor, it would have been impossible.
Now that Five Universe King was heading to the Twin Moon Merchant Guild, he surely had some plans in mind.
……
At the same time, in the grandest guest hall of Twin Moon Immortal City, four people—three men and one woman—were chatting happily.
Their expressions made it clear that they had just reached a consensus not long ago.
“One must truly admire the bearing of the Great Emperor of Moon Spirit. That is the quality I respect most in the Great Emperor,” said a man whose whole body looked as dark as coal.
If it weren’t for the occasional movement of his eyes and the flash of white in his smile, one might even think he was a chunk of black coal.
Hearing this, a tall and handsome man let out a hearty laugh and said willingly, “Brother Hongku, you flatter me. But indeed I do like working with a few like-minded cultivators—all of us share the same goal.”
This man was none other than Geng Wuxue, the new Great Emperor of the Moon Spirit Immortal Court.
The few of them laughed together, when at that very moment, a message flashed on the communication bead on Geng Wuxue’s wrist.
When Geng Wuxue read the message, his face turned cold as he suddenly stood up, exuding a murderous aura so intense it seemed almost tangible.
“Great Emperor of Moon Spirit? Could something be amiss?” The lady asked in confusion.
The others also looked toward the Great Emperor, Geng Wuxue.
Now that he held dominion over the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, he was one of the top Immortal Court kings.
Who else could cause him to exude such a significant killing intent?
Geng Wuxue slowly spoke, “Someone outside Twin Moon Immortal City has rescued Ai Ying’er. And not only that—they clamped onto my son Geng Xin’s neck and took him away.”
“Heh, what immense guts.” The woman snorted, “Great Emperor of Moon Spirit, even if he manages to escape the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, with the Hundred Stone King around, he will be caught in no time. I, Shen Xuan, would like to see for myself who this man really is.”
“Hundred Stone King, let us also go and behold this brazen fellow,” said the dark and coal-like Hongku with a hint of disdain as he stood up.
Geng Wuxue’s communication bead lit up once more, and Geng Wuxue furrowed his brows, “This person has not fled the Immortal Domain at all. Instead, he has entered Twin Moon Immortal City.”
The Hundred Stone King, who had almost started to move, froze in place.
Not only him, but Hongku and Shen Xuan also were taken aback.
If the enemy had really fled the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, that wouldn’t have been so troubling—after all, with the Hundred Stone King around, they would catch up eventually.
But the fact that the enemy did not flee, and instead entered Twin Moon Immortal City, what did that mean? The only possibility was that the enemy did not fear Geng Wuxue at all.
Not only did they not fear him, they seemed utterly unafraid of the many battle formations and Immortal City arrays protecting the Immortal Court.
If one were to deliberately offend such a powerful person, it would be unwise.
Their relationship with Geng Wuxue was one that added to his splendor; they were not at the stage of offering help in times of dire need as one would share in hardship.
Geng Wuxue, however, continued to frown and murmured, “Lan Xiaobu?”
Then, as if he suddenly understood something, his expression changed drastically, “Five Universe King Lan Xiaobu?”
Sure enough, the next message came through—it was from Five Universe King Lan Xiaobu.
Shen Xuan no longer spoke.
They had all heard some of the legends regarding the Five Universe King Lan Xiaobu in the Immortal World.
Without any profit to be made, offending Lan Xiaobu would be nothing short of unwise.
