Chapter 463: Because Lan Xiaobu Has Arrived
His son had disappeared after coming to the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
He had searched three times but found no trace.
This time, while escorting Luo Caisi to the Boundless Market City, he happened to hear that his son, Jia Xinyu, had once visited the Great Kun Sea Realm of the Great Kun Immortal Palace.
That was why he had come here to inquire.
"I wouldn’t dare..."
Jia Yunkong hurriedly replied, realizing he needed to leave immediately—otherwise, the Great Kun Immortal Palace would surely kill him.
Jia Yunkong suddenly understood—he couldn’t leave now.
After learning the Great Kun Immortal Palace’s stance, he shouldn’t have asked about his son’s whereabouts.
Knowing his son had been to the Great Kun Sea Realm before vanishing, whether or not the palace was involved, an unprincipled sect like this would never let him leave unharmed.
"Palace Master Jia, please leave. We have important matters to discuss and cannot entertain you further," Zhang Wuxue said impatiently.
Jia Yunkong’s heart sank.
Just as he was at a loss, a voice suddenly echoed from outside:
"Is the Palace Master of the Great Kun Immortal Palace present? Lan Xiaobu has come to visit."
The voice seemed to come from far away, yet it rang clearly in everyone’s ears.
Jia Yunkong shuddered at the sound, then clenched his fists.
He was both relieved at his earlier decision and regretful for leaving the Boundless Market City months too soon.
Had he still been there when Lan Xiaobu arrived, his protection of Luo Caisi would have earned him immense gratitude.
Unfortunately, he had left early.
Still, he had done nothing to betray Lan Xiaobu.
As long as the man wasn’t unreasonable, he would acknowledge this favor.
At this moment, Jia Yunkong was almost certain Lan Xiaobu had come for him.
The reason he first asked for the palace master was merely out of courtesy.
If Lan Xiaobu could track him here, it confirmed his earlier suspicion—Lan Xiaobu must have left a divine sense mark on him.
Of course, someone capable of annihilating the Silent God Valley wouldn’t be killed by Liang Changxu, would he?
Wait—
Jia Yunkong suddenly recalled Third Palace Master Zhang’s earlier question.
The Third Palace Master had said the Ancient Kun Island had been destroyed, and the Liang family was finished.
How many years had the Ancient Kun Island existed? How many generations had the Liang family thrived? For them to be wiped out so abruptly—
If it was because Liang Gucai had awakened the Ancient Kun bloodline, that awakening wasn’t recent.
It had happened years ago.
A chilling realization struck Jia Yunkong.
It was because Lan Xiaobu had arrived.
A man who could obliterate the Silent God Valley could certainly destroy the Ancient Kun Island.
The island had been openly hunting Luo Caisi and him.
Anyone with ears knew that.
Even hiding in the Boundless Market City, they saw their wanted posters everywhere.
The moment Lan Xiaobu set foot in the Leviathan Ruins Sea, he would have learned of the island’s actions.
So, the Ancient Kun Island had fallen because Lan Xiaobu had come.
Incredibly strong.
That was Jia Yunkong’s only thought.
He hadn’t witnessed Lan Xiaobu destroying the Silent God Valley, but he believed it.
He hadn’t heard a single rumor about the Ancient Kun Island’s destruction, yet he trusted his deduction completely.
"This man’s divine sense and immortal essence are terrifyingly powerful," an Immortal Emperor exclaimed.
The Great Kun Immortal Palace was layered with restrictions, yet this person’s voice had penetrated effortlessly, reaching everyone’s ears.
How could he not be strong?
"Elder Yi Leng, go greet this Lan Xiaobu and find out his background. A powerhouse like this wouldn’t visit our Great Kun Immortal Palace without reason. Be polite," Yuan Bu said slowly.
"Yes."
A tall, slender man acknowledged and strode out of the guest hall.
Zhang Wuxue frowned at Jia Yunkong, who still hadn’t moved.
"Palace Master Jia, you are no longer needed here. You may leave."
Just moments ago, Jia Yunkong had felt his situation was hopeless.
But upon hearing Lan Xiaobu’s voice, he suddenly remembered—he too was a palace master.
What did the Great Kun Immortal Palace matter?
This shift in mindset made Jia Yunkong sigh inwardly.
He knew his sudden confidence came solely from Lan Xiaobu’s arrival.
No wonder he had spent years confined to Kunqian Island, scraping together meager cultivation resources.
"Third Palace Master truly wishes me to leave?" Jia Yunkong said coolly.
Now that the other party no longer posed a threat, his tone lost all deference.
"What? Do I need to repeat myself?" Zhang Wuxue’s expression darkened.
Jia Yunkong laughed.
"Indeed, you cannot command me. And now, I no longer wish to leave. Not only will I wait for Daoist Lan, but I will also demand answers about my son’s whereabouts."
"What nonsense Daoist Lan? You think you can act recklessly in the Great Kun Immortal Palace? You’re not qualified—" Zhang Wuxue abruptly stood, ready to strike.
A calm voice interrupted.
"Oh? Is the Great Kun Immortal Palace some dragon’s den or tiger’s lair that your Master Bu cannot enter?"
As the words faded, Lan Xiaobu appeared at the entrance of the guest hall.
He had heard Jia Yunkong being disrespected and deduced the strained relations here.
His earlier suspicion that Jia Yunkong had brought Luo Caisi to the Leviathan Ruins Sea was now confirmed.
If Jia Yunkong hadn’t protected Luo Caisi, he wouldn’t have dared to speak so boldly about waiting for him.
Lan Xiaobu was a man who repaid kindness and vengeance alike.
Since Jia Yunkong had helped Luo Caisi, he would support him without hesitation.
As for neutrality? To Lan Xiaobu, that didn’t exist.
Behind Lan Xiaobu, Elder Yi Leng finally caught up, panting.
He was speechless—Lan Xiaobu, a guest, had simply walked into the Great Kun Immortal Palace as if he owned the place, arriving at the guest hall in what seemed like a flash.
Meanwhile, Yi Leng had been left scrambling after him.
"Who are you?" Zhang Wuxue froze mid-action.
"I am Lan Xiaobu, the one who just announced his visit to your Great Kun Immortal Palace—the so-called ‘nonsense Daoist Lan’ you mentioned," Lan Xiaobu replied indifferently.
He ignored Zhang Wuxue and turned to Jia Yunkong.
He had come for Jia Yunkong—the Great Kun Immortal Palace meant little to him.
Besides, he had already met their Second Palace Master, a spineless opportunist.
A sect led by such people held no interest for him.
Zhang Wuxue’s face twisted in rage.
No matter how strong someone was, they couldn’t act arrogantly within the Great Kun Immortal Palace—especially not inside its halls!
"Elder Wu Lun, attack immediately. Capture this man—show no mercy," Yuan Bu, the First Palace Master, transmitted his order coldly to a peak Immortal Emperor elder.
No matter how powerful Lan Xiaobu was, such insolence in the Great Kun Immortal Palace warranted death.
A rotund figure shot forward like a cannonball.
Before anyone could react, he was already above Lan Xiaobu’s head.
Even Jia Yunkong, with his cultivation, couldn’t detect the man’s weapon—yet he felt an inexplicable chill.
Lan Xiaobu didn’t move.
Instead, his Seven-Tone Halberd flashed, its blade-light exploding into countless streaks.
But instead of striking the descending sphere, the halberd’s energy slashed at the empty space before him.
Crack! The sound of breaking bones echoed.
A muffled groan followed as a figure tumbled from the air, crashing onto the hall’s floor.
At the same time, Lan Xiaobu raised his hand and caught a massive black hammer mid-air.
The entire exchange lasted less than half a breath.
When the dust settled, everyone saw a three-foot-tall, equally wide spherical man lying in the hall’s center, a bloody hole in his forehead.
It was Wu Lun of the Great Kun Immortal Palace! Those who recognized him were stunned.
Rumors placed Wu Lun as the sect’s fifth-strongest, just below the four palace masters.
Even the Great Kun Palace Master might struggle to block his ambush.
Yet such an expert had been grievously wounded in an instant?
Wu Lun was indeed severely injured.
It wasn’t that his strength was vastly inferior—it was that Lan Xiaobu had seen through his every move.
His technique was unique.
His Ocean-Suppressing Hammer unleashed overwhelming force, and most opponents would focus entirely on blocking it.
But once he landed, forming a peculiar spatial link with the hammer, he could amplify its power tenfold in an instant.
Against such an attack, even the most prepared would be crippled.
And crippling was just the first step.
The hammer’s true ability, Ocean Splitter, would activate next—sealing the victim’s fate.
But Lan Xiaobu’s halberd ignored the hammer entirely, striking instead at Wu Lun’s landing point.
Before Wu Lun could touch the ground, the halberd had already pierced his brow.
Only his tempered physique and last-moment defensive artifact saved his life—but his hammer’s momentum had dissipated to less than one percent of its peak.
Lan Xiaobu sighed inwardly.
Indeed, from a certain height, everything became clear.
The moment Wu Lun moved, Lan Xiaobu had discerned the origin of his technique through shifts in spatial laws.
A single strike had left Wu Lun near death.
Wu Lun was terrified.
Injured and vulnerable, he knew the next attack would finish him.
Ignoring his wounds, he scrambled up and screamed, "Palace Master, save me—"
But before he could retreat, an overwhelming killing intent locked onto him.
For the first time, he felt death’s embrace.
(That’s all for today’s update.
Goodnight, friends!)
