Chapter 444 – Journey to Kunxu Sea
This Immortal Emperor did not leave.
Instead, he sent out a single message and soon someone came in carrying Han Qi.
Lan Xiaobu saw Han Qi and was surprised he recognized him.
This fellow was the very one who had come on behalf of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain to purchase the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
To be honest, the item he produced was not very impressive.
Lan Xiaobu’s decision to sell him a formation flag was purely out of respect for Wu Qiancheng.
When Han Qi saw the six injured Immortal Emperors on the ground, and then the severely wounded Geng Wuxue, and lastly saw Lan Xiaobu, he quickly understood the situation.
“Moonspirit Emperor…” Han Qi called out in alarm.
Wu Qiancheng glared coldly at Han Qi. “Han Qi, have I done anything against you? Are you planning to frame me? I thought you had been wronged, only for you to accuse me, Wu Qiancheng, of raping and murdering your Dao companion. You managed to retrieve a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, and for that I’m grateful. But think about it – how important is entering the Chaotic Secret Realm to an Immortal King? How many treasures have you obtained? Now, with you and Geng Wuxue acting in cahoots to turn the tables on me, I’d wager that the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag is long gone from the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain.”
Lan Xiaobu gradually began to understand.
To the entire Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, Han Qi was a benefactor, for he had acquired a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
With his Dao companion having been violated by Wu Qiancheng, and with Geng Wuxue adding fuel to the fire, it was obvious that the cultivators of the entire Moon Spirit Immortal Domain would oppose him.
It seemed Han Qi knew his life was hanging by a thread today.
He burst out hysterically, “Wu Qiancheng, at the very least I brought back the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag for the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, and that merits credit. But how could you do that to my Dao companion?”
Wu Qiancheng looked at Han Qi calmly. “What do you mean ‘to your Dao companion’? I invited you and your Dao companion here to bestow rewards right in front of you. Is that a crime? You slander me, accusing me of raping and murdering your Dao companion – don’t you know what you’re saying? And yet you dare question me now.”
Han Qi let out a bitter laugh. “Yes, you sit high above, showering us with rewards. Yet when Xuelu approached you with some cultivation questions, you said you were always welcome. What did you really mean by that?”
Wu Qiancheng frowned slightly. “What is there wrong with it?”
Han Qi stared fixedly at Wu Qiancheng. “Nothing wrong? So you meant that my Dao companion was free to come to ask you at any time. What kind of meaning does that carry?”
Lan Xiaobu could only shake his head in disbelief.
Such a way of thinking was truly bizarre.
“After Xuelu returned, something was off about her. She was constantly thinking about going over to consult you. And one day, she finally told me she had some questions and that she would go see you. When she returned, her face was flushed and her breathing unstable. Having lived with her for so many years, how could I not know what that was about?” Han Qi’s tone grew more and more agitated.
Wu Qiancheng stared vacantly at Han Qi for a long while before speaking, “When did your Dao companion ever come to consult with me? Aside from the one time she came with you to see me, she has never visited.”
The Hundred Stone King sneered coldly. “Han Qi, I have indeed seen your Dao companion – though it was in Geng Xin’s bed. Sister Ai’s beauty far surpassed that of your Xuelu by a hundredfold. Do you truly think that the Great Emperor Qiancheng would favor your woman? And why did Geng Xin have to seduce your Dao companion? Don’t you have any sense? It was only after you retrieved the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag that she made the move on your companion. She was trying to ride on your popularity to bring down the Great Emperor Qiancheng.”
Han Qi was stunned.
Then he murmured, “It’s all wrong…I was mistaken…”
The impression one got was that he sought revenge against Wu Qiancheng because his Dao companion had been ruined by him.
Now, after hearing the Hundred Stone King’s words, he finally realized he had been completely misled.
But Lan Xiaobu cared little for his pride.
He said coldly, “Han Qi, your Dao companion has long since thrown herself into Geng Xin’s arms – you would have known that from day one. With the look you wear now, I suspect you only hope Brother Qiancheng might spare you a life. To use your Dao companion to accompany someone and then personally end her life, only to frame Wu Qiancheng and further your own gains – frankly, I seldom see a base fellow like you.”
Han Qi’s face went pale.
He did not offer any rebuttal, perhaps thinking that silence might lend credence to his claim.
Unfortunately for him, among these assembled Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables – aside from Wu Xiuru – none had a lower cultivation than him.
Everyone could tell that Han Qi was lying, his only aim being to cling to a scrap of life.
“Beast!” Sister Ai Ying’er suddenly raised her hand, hurling a flame.
Han Qi was engulfed by the fire and let out a shrill, wretched scream as he struggled wildly in the flames, but he was unable to break free.
“Brother Xiaobu, I have nowhere else to go. I no longer wish to remain in the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain. I plan to go to your Immortal Domain. When will you return?” Wu Qiancheng asked Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily. “That would be truly excellent.”
After his laughter, Lan Xiaobu retrieved a Jade Talisman and handed it to Wu Qiancheng. “Brother Qiancheng, you go ahead. The Moon Spirit Immortal Domain no longer holds the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, so if anyone wishes to leave along with you, you are most welcome. I have my own matters to attend to – I plan to go over to the Kunxu Sea.”
“You’re going to the Kunxu Sea?” Wu Qiancheng was taken aback for a moment before saying, “Brother Xiaobu, were it not absolutely necessary, I advise you not to head to the Kunxu Sea. There might be treasures there, but it is no place for cultivators like us.”
“I have already made up my mind about this matter. The Five Universe Immortal World is vast enough – no matter how many people go over, there is room for all.” Lan Xiaobu did not dwell further on the issues of the Kunxu Sea, for it was a personal decision of his.
Wu Qiancheng nodded and did not press further.
Instead, he turned toward Geng Wuxue. “Now tell me, who did you give the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag to?”
Realizing this was his only chance, Geng Wuxue spoke immediately, “I know it’s unlikely that you will spare my life. But if you agree to let me enter Reincarnation, I will tell you everything.” Before Geng Wuxue could finish his words, Lan Xiaobu hurled a burst of flames at him. “Then you might as well die!”
For one who had betrayed his own Immortal Domain, Lan Xiaobu had no intention of granting him reincarnation.
A person like him, regardless of dying a thousand times, was not worth a second chance.
“Brother Xiaobu, what about the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag?” Seeing that Lan Xiaobu had killed Geng Wuxue without even a question, Wu Qiancheng hurriedly inquired.
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively. “Whoever takes hold of the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, its fate will be sealed at the time of the calamity; otherwise, what’s the point of taking it? So do not worry about the matter of the Formation Disk.”
With Lan Xiaobu speaking so confidently, Wu Qiancheng said no more.
To Lan Xiaobu, every Heavenly Gang Formation Flag carried his formation markings, and he still held the Formation Disk himself.
As long as one left the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, he could reclaim the flag.
Unless, of course, the other party stored the flag within a world akin to his Cosmic Dimension Matrix or enclosed it within a ring beyond the level of an immortal artifact – only then would he be unable to retrieve it.
His magical treasures meant nothing if taken away by someone else.
……
Wu Qiancheng’s matter caused an enormous uproar in the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain.
It was only then that people realized they had been deceived, and that the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain had been sold off by Geng Wuxue.
Who could trouble someone like Geng Wuxue? Unfortunately, Geng Wuxue had long since been killed.
So when it was learned that Wu Qiancheng intended to head to the Five Universe Immortal World, tens of millions of people began clamoring to leave the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain along with him.
And that was just the beginning – later on, the number of those wanting to leave for the Five Universe Immortal World only grew.
Little did these people know that Lan Xiaobu and the Hundred Stone King had long since left the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain.
Lan Xiaobu was headed for the Kunxu Sea – and he needed the Hundred Stone King to guide him.
The Hundred Stone King was rather helpless.
He truly did not wish to return to the Kunxu Sea now.
A single trip there would take at least a hundred years, and the Kunxu Sea was far too chaotic.
Which immortal domain could compare in ease and freedom? Wherever the Hundred Stone King went, he was always received as a guest of honor.
Well, except in the Five Universe Immortal World.
Alas, his strength was no match for that of the Five Universe King, and so they gave him two options.
Either he leads the Five Universe King to the Kunxu Sea, or the Five Universe King leads his own primordial spirit to the Kunxu Sea.
Thus, he could only accompany Lan Xiaobu on the journey to the Kunxu Sea and, along the way, explain to him all the various rules that governed that place.
“By your account, does that mean that in the Kunxu Sea one can kill without any reason?” Lan Xiaobu’s face grew grimmer the more he listened.
According to the Hundred Stone King, in the Kunxu Sea there was but one rule – might makes right.
“Indeed, that is so. The Kunxu Sea is truly a world of the strong,” sighed the Hundred Stone King.
Yet inside, he was rather taken aback by Lan Xiaobu’s flying artifact.
It looked like a pot, yet its speed was unlike anything he had ever seen.
With such speed, the journey to the Kunxu Sea might even take less than thirty years – this was thanks to the myriad dangers along the way.
He had seen top-grade flying artifacts, even aerial divine weapons, but nothing like this pot.
It did not appear to be a divine artifact; could it be a spiritual treasure instead?
Lan Xiaobu fell silent, deep in thought.
He remembered that his cultivation was only at the Immortal Venerable realm.
If the Kunxu Sea were filled with too many strong cultivators, might he not need to first refine some formation disks? But alas, his art of refining treasures was limited – even with his strong prowess in formations, he found it difficult to forge a top-grade formation disk.
After a long while, Lan Xiaobu spoke again, “Who took Geng Wuxue’s formation flag?”
The Hundred Stone King replied, “It was taken by people from the Kunxu Sea. You have met them before – even clashed with them.”
“I met the people of the Kunxu Sea?” Lan Xiaobu looked at the Hundred Stone King in confusion.
If he had met them, why would he have taken a detour to seek him out?
The Hundred Stone King explained, “Back then, those from the Kunxu Sea had disguised themselves as highway robbers. After killing the Immortal Court King of the Weixing Immortal Domain and several Immortal Emperors, they caught up with you and attacked in the Void.”
The Hundred Stone King thought to himself, if it hadn’t been for witnessing you kill a strong cultivator from the Kunxu Sea, do you think I would be so afraid of you?
So they were from the Kunxu Sea? Lan Xiaobu felt a shock deep in his heart.
He recalled the hirsute, large man – that guy was truly formidable.
Fortunately, his formation techniques were not lacking; he had even set up various Void Entrapment Slaughter Immortal Formations ahead of time.
Otherwise, he might not have survived.
“They are collecting the Heavenly Gang Formation Flags?” Lan Xiaobu quickly deduced.
After killing that hirsute man, he had obtained a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag – clearly one that had been snatched away from him.
Just now, the Hundred Stone King had also mentioned that the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain had been taken by people from the Kunxu Sea.
Clearly, the Kunxu Sea was also gathering these flags.

Good night!)
