Jun Wu sensed Meng Ou’s murderous intent and his heart sank.
Should he protect Lan Xiaobu?
Lan Xiaobu possessed the boldest spirit of any cultivator he had ever met—and it wasn’t just reckless bravery.
It was a combination of courage and sharp wits.
Back when Lan Xiaobu had just joined the cultivator army as a mere Immortal Emperor, he had dared to stand up to Meng Ou.
He had clearly seen that Meng Ou couldn’t do anything to him—or perhaps he had realized that Jun Wu himself wouldn’t allow Meng Ou to act recklessly.
Keep in mind, Jun Wu had only just met Lan Xiaobu at the time and had merely mocked Meng Ou a few times.
An ordinary recruit wouldn’t have done what Lan Xiaobu did.
Not only did Lan Xiaobu defy Meng Ou, but he also managed to bring nearly all the new recruits into the Baili Army.
Later, when Jun Wu was schemed out of his position by Meng Ou, Lan Xiaobu, with Liu Hu’s help, calmly left Baili Divine City—and even took over a hundred people with him.
Bold, yet cunning.
Jun Wu sighed.
Unfortunately, he could no longer help Lan Xiaobu.
His own backer had fallen.
Not only was he unable to assist Lan Xiaobu, but he was also struggling to protect himself.
Lan Xiaobu’s return at such a coincidental time suggested he knew Jun Wu was back in Baili Divine City and hoped to rely on his influence to survive.
A pity.
