Chapter 922 The Promise of Execution
Clearly, Lan Xiaobu used Lawless Flags to construct a space within his own law domain that didn't belong to him at all. That's why his law domain could crush others but couldn't affect Lan Xiaobu. In other words, not only could he not harm Lan Xiaobu, but he also couldn't rush into the space world Lan Xiaobu had constructed. If he entered Lan Xiaobu's space world, he would be easily crushed by Lan Xiaobu as well.
"Brother Ni, just charge directly towards me. It won't affect you at all," Lan Xiaobu said.
At this moment, he had collected more than two hundred and eighty Chaos Divine Spirit Veins and had already landed on the ground.
Ni Jiansheng rushed towards Lan Xiaobu almost without hesitation. It wasn't that he trusted Lan Xiaobu, but he knew that apart from Lan Xiaobu, he had no other chance of survival.
As soon as Ni Jiansheng rushed out, his spatial laws pressed down, but the next moment, the laws pressing on him were blocked by an invisible, independent space. Ni Jiansheng rushed into Lan Xiaobu's Everlasting Law Space without any hindrance. At the same time, more than twenty other figures followed Ni Jiansheng towards Lan Xiaobu's space.
Lan Xiaobu hesitated for a moment but didn't drive them away.
However, the others weren't so lucky. When they tried to follow, Zhong Wu Chi had already stirred up the killing Dao laws of this space.
Streaks of blood mist exploded, and this bamboo forest was instantly dyed red.
Lan Xiaobu felt the space changing rapidly, and Zhong Wu Chi's aura was also rising madly. However, because too many people rushed towards Lan Xiaobu, the blood sacrifice was insufficient, causing Zhong Wu Chi's aura to quickly decline after reaching its peak.
Zhong Wu Chi stared at Lan Xiaobu coldly. If Lan Xiaobu hadn't interfered, he would have already controlled this entire world.
"Lan Xiaobu, what grievance do I have with you? Why do you hinder my great Dao?" Zhong Wu Chi's tone was calm, but everyone alive could hear the terrifying killing intent in his voice.
Lan Xiaobu chuckled. "To put it mildly, back then, my friend was cultivating in the遗神深渊 (Yishen Abyss), and you wanted to strip her qi, blood, and Dao foundation, just to transfer Divine Yuan Pills to yourself. To put it more recently, you even wanted me to sacrifice myself for your world. Old Zhong, people don't do things like that. Also, don't try to act tough in front of your Grandpa Bu. Your Grandpa Bu knows very well that the only space you can control is this bamboo forest. Outside this bamboo forest, you're nothing."
Zhong Wu Chi fell silent. Lan Xiaobu's ability to construct his own law space with Lawless Flags, not to mention his understanding of the great Dao, surpassed even his own understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
"I can't do anything to you. Can you leave a little of that Xirang for me?" Zhong Wu Chi quickly recognized the cruel reality.
Each of the Lawless Flags that Lan Xiaobu used to create his space was comparable to a primordial treasure. Such flags were hard to come by, and he didn't know where Lan Xiaobu had obtained them. As long as Lan Xiaobu had his own law space, he could easily leave this bamboo forest.
He couldn't do anything to Lan Xiaobu even in this bamboo forest.
How could he possibly do anything to him after Lan Xiaobu left this bamboo forest? It was obviously unrealistic.
Lan Xiaobu chuckled. "Old Zhong, be a little more decent. I'll wait for you outside. I suspect you were just a clone of the Lord of the Underworld? Maybe this bamboo forest is managed by your clone. You're miserable enough, wanting to escape the control of your main body but lacking the strength. Sigh, I feel sorry for you. Oh, and if you want to fight, I'll be waiting for you outside. Also, thank you for the Xirang and the Chaos Divine Spirit Veins. No, I should be thanking the Lord of the Underworld."
After saying this, Lan Xiaobu turned around and left without hesitation.
All the cultivators in Lan Xiaobu's world quickly followed him out of the bamboo forest. If what Lan Xiaobu said was true and Zhong Wu Chi could only control this bamboo forest, then they would be safe once they left.
Zhong Wu Chi could only watch Lan Xiaobu leave, powerless to stop him. Lan Xiaobu could construct his own law space here, so attacking him would be meaningless.
As soon as they left the bamboo forest, everyone immediately rushed out of the space constructed by Lan Xiaobu's Lawless Flags. As expected, they found that the outside world was no longer controlled by Zhong Wu Chi. These people thanked Lan Xiaobu casually before quickly fleeing.
Lan Xiaobu shook his head. Even after cultivating to his current level, he still felt that he wasn't suited for this place. Seeing these people leave immediately after coming out, even though they thanked him, none of them offered any substantial benefits, as if he was obligated to save them.
In the words of Earth, they didn't even leave a contact number. If it wasn't considered crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it was still heartless.
"Fellow Daoist Ni, why haven't you left yet?" Lan Xiaobu asked, seeing that two people hadn't left, one of whom was Ni Jiansheng, and the other he didn't recognize.
Ni Jiansheng quickly took out a communication bead and handed it to Lan Xiaobu. "Brother Lan, this is my communication bead. In the future, if you need my help, please let me know. Today, I received your life-saving grace, and I will definitely remember it."
Lan Xiaobu nodded and accepted the communication bead. Although he definitely wouldn't need it, saving his life deserved some gesture.
The other person was a female cultivator with a delicate appearance. After Ni Jiansheng took out the communication bead for Lan Xiaobu, she took out a communication bead and a jade box and handed them to Lan Xiaobu. "Fellow Daoist Lan, this jade box contains a seed that I obtained, but I still don't know what kind of seed it is. Having received your life-saving grace, I, Fan Yueqing, have nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you this seed. As for leaving my communication bead, it's the same as Fellow Daoist Ni. If you ever need my help, I will definitely come."
"Alright, I'll keep them." Lan Xiaobu integrated the communication Dao laws of the two communication beads into his own and left his communication Dao laws for them as well.
People should be grateful. That was the least they could do. Even if he had unintentionally saved these people, they should at least have an attitude of gratitude.
"We'll meet again in the future." Only then did Ni Jiansheng and Fan Yueqing bid farewell to Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu suddenly asked, "Do you two plan to leave this place, or do you plan to stay for a while longer?"
Ni Jiansheng said, "Brother Lan is right. Zhong Wu Chi only controls that bamboo forest, so I plan to stay here for some time. There are many Chaos Divine Spirit Veins here, as well as some other Chaos items, all of which are beneficial to me."
"That's what I was thinking too," Fan Yueqing added.
Lan Xiaobu understood their thoughts. They just had to avoid coming to that bamboo forest.
Lan Xiaobu said, "If you two listen to my advice, leave this world immediately. If I'm not mistaken, Zhong Wu Chi will soon control this entire world. If you stay here, sooner or later, you'll be controlled by Zhong Wu Chi again, just like before."
Ni Jiansheng nodded. "I know that Zhong Wu Chi will definitely use those fallen experts to sacrifice to this world. This world is already related to him, so he probably won't need half a month to complete this. But I don't need half a month. I only need three days, and I'll leave after three days."
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Fan is thinking the same way. But what I want to tell you is that Zhong Wu Chi won't need half a month, or even half a day, to completely turn this world into his own. If you're going to leave, do it now." Lan Xiaobu said solemnly.
Ni Jiansheng's expression changed. He believed that Lan Xiaobu wouldn't lie to him about this.
In fact, Lan Xiaobu wasn't lying to him. The reason he knew this was because when he went to retrieve the Xirang, he sensed that the source of control over the rules of this world was inside the bamboo forest. As one of the split souls of the Lord of the Underworld, Zhong Wu Chi had already entered the Jia and still had so many restrictions placed on him. If he still couldn't control this world within half a day, then it would be impossible for him to stand out and become the best among the many split souls of the Lord of the Underworld.
So, as soon as Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, Ni Jiansheng immediately cupped his fists at Lan Xiaobu and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, we'll meet again in the future." After Fan Yueqing finished speaking, she also turned into a streak of light and quickly disappeared.
Seeing the speed at which the two of them fled, half a day was enough for them to leave this world several times over. Only then did Lan Xiaobu leisurely fly towards the exit of this world.
Sure enough, not even half a day passed. After only a little more than an hour, Lan Xiaobu felt the surrounding spatial rules suddenly change. Immediately afterward, the entire space transformed into the same state as the bamboo forest. Lan Xiaobu knew that Zhong Wu Chi had completely controlled this world, or rather, had turned this world into his territory.
Apart from Lan Xiaobu, who was still leisurely walking outwards, several streaks of light were desperately trying to rush out of this world, but all that awaited them was the annihilation of the rules in the air, turning them into blood mist.
An Eighth Revolution Saint and a Ninth Revolution Saint escaped to a place not far from Lan Xiaobu with the help of a primordial defensive treasure. Seeing Lan Xiaobu, they excitedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please save us! That Zhong Wu Chi is so sinister. He deceived us, saying that he could only control that bamboo forest, but the heavenly Dao rules of the entire world are under his control!"
Clearly, these two were the ones Lan Xiaobu had saved once before.
Lan Xiaobu was speechless. On the surface, these two were saying that Zhong Wu Chi had deceived Lan Xiaobu, but the implied meaning was that it was his judgment that was wrong, leading to them being trapped again.
Lan Xiaobu exclaimed in surprise, "That Zhong Wu Chi is so sinister! I need to leave quickly, or I'll be controlled by him!"
After saying this, Lan Xiaobu really sped up, quickly leaving the two pleading cultivators behind.
"Fellow Daoist, please take us with you! We will be eternally grateful!" The Ninth Revolution cultivator was anxious, feeling that Lan Xiaobu, who did good deeds without leaving his name, had forgotten to take them with him.
Lan Xiaobu sneered in his heart. He had saved these bastards, but these bastards didn't even know his name and still wanted him to save them again. He turned his head and said, "Don't worry, your mother is on her way to save you."
