**Chapter 478: Ji Yun Who Made Zha Yu Tremble**
Zha Yu before him was one thing, but the being inside the Fate Formation Disk was someone Lan Xiaobu truly feared.
Back when he left, he had sealed the Fate Formation Disk deep underground and even set up multiple ninth-level Immortal Slaughtering Formations.
Yet, despite all that, he still failed to contain the powerful being inside the disk.
Not only did that guy break free, but he also suppressed the bloodsucking Zha Yu.
Even if the other party didn’t have one of the Heavenly Gang Formation Flags, Lan Xiaobu had no intention of letting him go.
In Lan Xiaobu’s eyes, this was his last chance to obtain the Fate Formation Disk.
If he missed it, he would never get another opportunity.
*"You want to team up with me to deal with Ji Yun the Traveler?"* Zha Yu looked at Lan Xiaobu in surprise.
Now it was Lan Xiaobu’s turn to be puzzled. *"Zha Yu, you know that guy inside the Fate Formation Disk?"*
Zha Yu calmed himself and said indifferently, *"I won’t team up with you. Kill me if you must. But let me tell you, even if you crush me, even if you kill me, I still have a chance to retain my memories and reincarnate. Don’t believe me? Try it."*
This time, Lan Xiaobu was the one taken aback. *"Vampire, you’re about to lose your life, yet you still won’t dare to join me against Ji Yun?"*
Zha Yu sneered. *"That’s because you have no idea who Ji Yun is. He’s a being feared by all beneath the Ten Emperors of the Divine Realm. Even the Ten Emperors themselves hesitate to provoke him lightly. And the Fate Formation Disk is Ji Yun’s signature treasure. You claim the disk is yours? That’s laughable."*
*"You know so much—are you also from the Divine Realm?"* Lan Xiaobu showed no embarrassment and pressed further.
*"What do you think?"* Zha Yu chuckled. *"If I weren’t from the Divine Realm, would I have the Life and Death Cauldron? Would I have survived here until now? This place is saturated with death energy. If not for my divine origins, who else could set up divine formations here? Also, the Life and Death Cauldron has an extraordinary background. I suggest you return it to me. It’s not something you can wield in the future once you reach the Divine Realm."*
So it was true.
But Lan Xiaobu didn’t care.
He cast dozens of restriction seals and said, *"Forget about the Life and Death Cauldron. Keep talking, and I might just kill you right now. Think about it—when I first came here, I was only at the early-stage Immortal King Realm. Even then, I could handle you and leave this place unscathed. Now, my strength is at least a hundred times greater than before. Do you really think Ji Yun is a hundred times stronger than you?"*
This was Lan Xiaobu’s twisted logic.
He meant that back then, with less than one percent of his current power, he could still deal with Zha Yu.
Even if Ji Yun was strong in the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t possibly be a hundred times stronger than Zha Yu, right? So now that Lan Xiaobu was a hundred times stronger, dealing with Ji Yun—who was also stripped of his cultivation—should be no problem.
To Lan Xiaobu’s utter bewilderment, Zha Yu didn’t even hesitate before replying, *"You’re absolutely right. Ji Yun is indeed a hundred times stronger than me."*
Now, Lan Xiaobu was at a loss for how to convince this guy to team up with him.
Zha Yu’s fear of Ji Yun was bone-deep.
After a long silence, Lan Xiaobu finally sighed. *"What if I told you I have a feasible plan? You must remember—Ji Yun was once in my world, and I was the one who cast him out. If Ji Yun was truly so terrifying, how could I, a mere Immortal King at the time, have abandoned and even sealed him underground? I think your fear of Ji Yun is just psychological, ingrained from past experiences. You’re too scared to resist him."*
*"A cultivator who’s reached the Divine Realm yet can’t overcome his own fear? Without the heart of a true powerhouse, even if you reincarnate, what use are you? Just cannon fodder. Living is just a waste of spiritual energy."*
Lan Xiaobu’s words finally made Zha Yu fall silent.
Seeing Zha Yu waver, Lan Xiaobu pressed further. *"Besides, even if we fail against Ji Yun, you can still choose reincarnation. At worst, I’ll be the one who suffers, while you walk away unharmed."*
Zha Yu sighed. *"Friend Lan, you’re strong, and your progress is rapid. You’re fearless like a newborn calf facing a tiger, full of vigor. I was once like that too, which is why I’m afraid now. Let me tell you this—if we fail, I will never have the chance to reincarnate again. Do you think Ji Yun’s methods are limited to just killing us? You’re too naive."*
Lan Xiaobu scoffed. *"Naivety is my business. Just answer me—will you cooperate or not? If not, I’ll kill you right now to save myself the trouble. And let me tell you—if I kill you, you won’t reincarnate either. Don’t believe me? Just wait and see."*
Zha Yu shuddered.
Between a rock and a hard place—why was his fate so bitter? Back in the day, he had over a hundred Immortal Emperors under his control, allowing him to survive in this lifeless wasteland.
But now? His Life and Death Cauldron was stolen, his cave was taken, and even his blood livestock were occasionally snatched away.
Did he even have a life left?
*"I don’t have time to waste on you."* Seeing Zha Yu’s stubbornness, Lan Xiaobu truly didn’t want to bother with him anymore.
A bloodsucker like him was meant to be killed anyway.
*"Wait—"* Sensing Lan Xiaobu’s killing intent, Zha Yu hurriedly stopped him. *"Friend Lan, you mentioned a feasible plan earlier. Can you elaborate? After some thought, I realized I’m doomed either way. Might as well take a chance with you. Even if I die, at least I tried fighting against Ji Yun."*
Lan Xiaobu pondered briefly before saying, *"Wait for me. I need to prepare this plan, and I’m confident it’ll work."*
*"Fine."* Zha Yu agreed.
What could be worse than his current predicament?
*"Stay here. Don’t leave. I need to make preparations."* Lan Xiaobu said.
*"Go ahead. I won’t leave. I can’t escape anyway, and there’s nowhere to go."* Zha Yu sighed.
Knowing that this place was like a playground for Lan Xiaobu, he simply opened the passage behind the stone steps.
Without another word, Lan Xiaobu rushed out, summoned the Reincarnation Pot, and left the Mo Xuan Canyon.
Originally, Lan Xiaobu wasn’t overly cautious about the being inside the Fate Formation Disk.
After all, back when he was only an Immortal King, he had managed to seal the disk.
Now that he was an Immortal Emperor, he should be even more capable.
But Zha Yu’s words had heightened his vigilance.
Lan Xiaobu knew it never hurt to be careful.
He had advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm in just over a hundred years—who was to say Ji Yun hadn’t made similar progress? Moreover, Ji Yun was already terrifyingly powerful to begin with.
He didn’t need to grow stronger—just recovering a fraction of his original strength would be enough.
If Ji Yun had regained enough power to instantly kill him, then going in unprepared would be no different from suicide.
Against a powerhouse like Ji Yun, ordinary methods wouldn’t work.
Whatever Lan Xiaobu knew, Ji Yun probably knew too.
Even if he didn’t, it would be nearly impossible to ambush him.
The only way was to trap him by surprise.
And the best way to do that was with formations.
Lan Xiaobu’s mastery of formations was decent—he could even set up Void Entrapment Slaughter Formations that surpassed ninth-grade Immortal Formations.
But Lan Xiaobu was well aware that if he truly believed his Void Entrapment Slaughter Formation could lock Ji Yun in, then next year would be the anniversary of his death.
As for having Zha Yu set up a divine-grade trap formation—ha! That would be no different from setting it up himself.
Zha Yu’s formation skills might have been superior in the past, but right now, they were no match for Lan Xiaobu’s.
Then Lan Xiaobu thought of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
Only the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk could trap Ji Yun.
But there was a condition—Ji Yun had to enter the disk first.
If all the Heavenly Gang Formation Flags were in Lan Xiaobu’s possession, he wouldn’t dare attempt this.
But ironically, one of the flags was in Ji Yun’s hands.
Once Lan Xiaobu activated the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, all thirty-six flags would trigger simultaneously, automatically trapping Ji Yun inside.
So Lan Xiaobu’s first task was to retrieve the formation base of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
He had left it at the bottom of the Void Swamp Mud River as a contingency against the Divine Realm’s Calamity Transfer Formation.
But without all thirty-six flags, keeping the disk there was pointless.
Lan Xiaobu had refined the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk and even left behind teleportation runes.
But he didn’t dare retrieve it from the depths of Mo Xuan Canyon.
Since Ji Yun already possessed one of the flags, retrieving the disk there risked alerting him.
Controlling the Reincarnation Pot, Lan Xiaobu headed to the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool in the Southern Mo Xuan Domain.
He planned to set up a formation there to summon the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk back.
The ruined state of the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool filled Lan Xiaobu with emotion.
Once the unrivaled hegemon of the Southern Mo Xuan Domain, it had fallen into decline after he and Gong Yunqi destroyed it.
Thanks to the decree Lan Xiaobu had imposed on the Southern Mo Xuan Domain, the term "rogue cultivator" no longer existed.
Now, the Southern Domain was filled with loose cultivators scavenging for resources.
The ruins of the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool were no exception.
Lan Xiaobu arrived at the immortal pool itself and began setting up a summoning teleportation formation.
He had sealed this place before, and later, Zhuan Yi and his wife had likely cultivated here for a time.
After they left, the area remained sealed.
In Lan Xiaobu’s mind, summoning the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk from the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool would be undetectable, no matter how powerful Ji Yun was.
The summoning teleportation formation took shape, powered by over a dozen high-grade Immortal Spirit Veins.
Once Lan Xiaobu activated it, space immediately grew unstable.
Teleporting from the Void Swamp Mud River to the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain was an ultra-long-distance void traversal, passing through countless spatial distortions.
Even in a stable realm like Mo Xuan, such spatial fluctuations would ripple outward.
