This is a case of grievances.

Guo Decheng's reputation among martial artists isn't exactly stellar.

In the past, martial artists valued martial virtue.

For someone like Guo Decheng, who was bought off by a warlord official and specialized in assassinating political rivals and opposition figures, his martial virtue was naturally lacking. Such a ruthless individual wouldn't be associated with respecting teachers and valuing teachings, and it was normal for him to mess with ancestral traditions.

Kuang Yimin was Guo Decheng's master.

Kuang Yimin's feelings towards this former disciple who had strayed onto the heretical path were rather complicated.

He wanted to purge his own sect.

But he was old, and this was his only decent inheritor. If he truly killed him, where would he find another martial arts prodigy to inherit his ancestral legacy?

The matter was left in an awkward stalemate.

Li Shuwen and Kuang Yimin were known as the Divine Gunner and the Spear King, respectively. Years ago, during martial arts exchanges, they had developed a mutual appreciation and become rare good friends. Now, Li Shuwen, a newly emerged martial artist, was stepping up to spar with Guo Decheng at his friend's request.

If not for Lan Yi's sudden appearance.

Guo Decheng's path would likely not have been recognized. In a way, he had now abandoned darkness and turned to light.

Every family has its own troubles.

These entanglements among martial artists were reported to Lan Yi by the Shadow Heavenly General, Zhao Sikong.

Let alone Guo Decheng, it would be strange if martial artists like Zhao Jian, Liu Baiyuan, and Sun Lutang, walking the jianghu in this chaotic era, didn't have some entanglements or past killings on their consciences. Zhao Sikong felt this information would be useful to the Immortal Master Lan Yi, so he used his mind power to secretly gather relevant intelligence.

Lan Yi neither supported nor opposed this.

Even if he couldn't use it himself, it was better for his subordinates to have something to do than to be idle.

Idleness was a terrifying thing.

Especially for martial artists who had mastered Innate Qi; if they were idle, the destruction they could cause would be extremely terrifying.

"Boss, can I come along?"

Xiao Hongzhuan saw that these martial artists, whose auras were almost tangible and whose surging power could be felt even with closed eyes, were about to clash. Having eaten about eighty percent full, he immediately stopped, looking at Lan Yi with a slightly embarrassed, fawning expression.

"Sure."

Lan Yi agreed readily.

Guo Decheng and Li Shuwen were about to spar.

He had intended to bring Xiao Hongzhuan to watch anyway. He was determined to get the Earth Fiend. Trading a meal for a Destiny Cluster felt a bit too greedy, but if Xiao Hongzhuan proactively offered to trade a Destiny Cluster for martial arts, then it would be much fairer for both sides. After all, what Star Han man could refuse a wuxia dream?

When Qi Cultivation Practitioners fought.

They certainly couldn't do it in the courtyard.

If they demolished this governor's mansion, the Immortal Master Lan Yi would definitely strike them down with lightning.

The location chosen was a military camp stronghold outside the city that had already been requisitioned by martial artists.

Lan Yi conjured a Dharma Sword, adjusted its size, and had Xiao Hongzhuan sit on it to fly over. This scene naturally drew the envy of many martial artists, who spoke enthusiastically only after Lan Yi disappeared from view.

"After all, there's a difference between immortals and mortals. Immortal Master Lan Yi has never shown us mortals any special favor. If one obtains immortal status, they will naturally be looked upon differently."

This was the "difference between immortals and mortals" ingrained in their minds.

"I don't think so. I suspect that young immortal has something Immortal Master Lan Yi desires."

This was a more sober assessment. Xiao Hongzhuan and Lan Yi were both from the upper realm; perhaps they had some connection.

"The Fierce Heavenly General also has Destiny Clusters, and yet he wasn't treated with such favor," one martial artist wondered aloud.

"How can that be the same? An immortal is still an immortal. In the upper realm, perhaps they have backing. If you haven't become an immortal yet, you want to be treated specially? Then, once you become an immortal, won't you have to climb over Immortal Master Lan Yi's head?" another martial artist sneered.

"I wouldn't dare! How could I speak such arrogant words!" The previous martial artist's face turned pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Although Lan Yi didn't have literary inquisition or punishment for speech here, if one showed disrespect to Immortal Master Lan Yi, they wouldn't even need the Immortal Master to unleash his wrath with lightning. The many martial artists brimming with killing intent had plenty of ways to make disrespectful individuals die mysteriously in a gutter, and it would definitely be ruled as a natural death or suicide by gunshot!

This was power.

Even if Lan Yi didn't care about it at all.

It would still spread into every corner and crevice, filling all the places he didn't care about.

"Holy crap, boss is awesome, boss is 666, boss is really taking me flying!"

Xiao Hongzhuan trembled all over as he lay on the greatsword.

Lan Yi's passenger-carrying flying sword had no protection and no attentive flight attendants.

Sitting on it was equivalent to a person without any protective measures, playing drift at a height of over thirty stories where the gales were strong, and looking down would make one dizzy and their legs weak.

Xiao Hongzhuan was both terrified and excited!

"Boss, you look a bit familiar, I think I've seen you somewhere..." Xiao Hongzhuan, his face flushed with excitement, covered his mouth, focusing his attention on Lan Yi's well-defined, masculine, and handsome face.

He really didn't dare to look down anymore; it was more thrilling than bungee jumping, and his heart couldn't take it.

"Probably online," Lan Yi said faintly.

"Right! Online!" Xiao Hongzhuan made a gesture like he was serving Lan Yi a bowl of Iron Bull Beef Noodles. "Which post was it, it was that cmg observation…"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Xiao Hongzhuan.

He seemed to remember…

The male protagonist of that post had been severely cyberbullied, was utterly wicked, the kind of person who would be judged guilty in a kangaroo court and sentenced to death on the spot.

"Speak up, why aren't you continuing? Don't you have a life?" Lan Yi was in a good mood. He even joked with someone from the main world he could converse with.

A joke was a joke, but it was also more than just a joke.

If he said the wrong thing, he might crash and burn like Lao Da in the next second.

"Big Brother, my admiration for you is like the endless flow of a great river, like the uncontrollable flood of the Yellow River! I support you. Those cmg people deserve to be killed. They scammed your feelings and your money, and then slandered you, saying you should go to jail. Now you are wise, mighty, and have achieved great power!"

"After I complete the War Zone mission, I'll go back and kill them all!"

"If you don't mind, Big Brother, I'm willing to become your sworn son…" Xiao Hongzhuan mentally reviewed almost everything he had said in the first half of his life.

"What nonsense is all this? Am I that scary?"

Lan Yi was still in a good mood and directly interrupted Xiao Hongzhuan, who was on the verge of tears.

You're not scary?

Someone like you, with no friends or family, who lost their job and was smeared with filth. The old brothers on the forum said you're the next Santa Claus, and you might even be shouting 'Sashashashasha!' while driving!

This kind of invincible person, unburdened by anything, full of grievances and bitterness.

Now possessing such god-like abilities and power.

Xiao Hongzhuan didn't dare to imagine what Lan Yi would do after returning from the Artificial Divine Realm.

What a stroke of luck!

He wasn't a simp; he supported the Big Brother!
