Chapter 398: Let’s See Who Can’t Play (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Director Wu Shao)
Two days later, Lan Xiaobu stopped the Wind Luan.
In front of them appeared a misty, hazy void.
"Is this the Void Island?" Gong Yunqi asked doubtfully.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "According to the location jade slip Mu Yichen gave me, this is indeed the Void Island. However, the Void Island hasn’t fully appeared yet. What we’re entering now should be the Void Stone. It seems the Qingfang Immortal Domain is about seven or eight days away from here. I suspect they’ve set up a teleportation array on the Void Stone."
It had taken the Wind Luan two days to get here, whereas a typical top-grade flying immortal artifact would take at least seven or eight days.
"Let’s go in and secure a spot first," Lan Xiaobu said, stepping into the misty space.
Gong Yunqi and Qiao Xing quickly followed him into the hazy void.
A few miles ahead of them was a massive golden-leaf-shaped boulder.
The boulder was about a hundred zhang long, with its widest point being around thirty zhang and its narrowest less than ten zhang.
Above the boulder, a faint layer of blood qi lingered, and the surface of the boulder itself was stained a dark red, indicating that many battles had taken place here.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu and the other two stepped onto the boulder, over a hundred divine senses filled with killing intent swept over them without restraint.
Lan Xiaobu wasn’t surprised.
In a place like this, where territories were fiercely contested, no one would hold back.
Any immortal domain that secured a spot here would defend it to the death.
"There are at least a hundred factions here," Gong Yunqi remarked.
Lan Xiaobu also noticed this.
There were indeed over a hundred factions, each with a sign outside their territory.
Some signs bore the names of immortal domains, while others displayed the names of sects or immortal clans.
Lan Xiaobu even spotted four signs belonging to the Jiting Chamber of Commerce.
Lan Xiaobu sneered, "This place could easily be divided into 108 sections, allowing every immortal domain to have a spot on this boulder. But the Qingfang Immortal Domain insisted on dividing it into only 50 sections. It’s clear that Shen Sen had ulterior motives from the start."
"What are you doing here? The Qingfang Great Emperor has already stated that this area will be re-divided in the future. That’s why there’s been no fighting here recently—everyone is waiting for the re-division. Leave now; this isn’t a place for you," a cold voice rang out.
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze fell on the speaker, a peak Immortal Emperor with a grayish complexion and a surging aura of blood qi, indicating he had recently killed many people.
Behind him was a sign marking the territory of the Yu Immortal Domain.
Lan Xiaobu stopped and said, "If you dare say one more word, I’ll take your territory right now. Get lost."
The gray-faced Immortal Emperor’s killing intent exploded, and he immediately summoned a giant hammer.
But before he could act, another Immortal Emperor stepped out and stopped him, then cupped his fists toward Lan Xiaobu and the others, saying, "Apologies, apologies. This was our mistake. Please, go ahead."
Lan Xiaobu said indifferently, "It’s not easy to secure a spot here. Don’t lose it after all the effort you’ve put into getting it."
With that, he ignored the man and continued walking deeper into the area.
If it weren’t for his current mission, he would have killed the man and taken his territory on the spot.
In a place like this, arrogance and boldness were necessary.
The more arrogant you were, the more others would fear you.
As Lan Xiaobu and his group walked away, the Immortal Emperor who had apologized to them said coldly, "Protector Gong, in a place like this, most people avoid trouble. Yet here you are, provoking it."
The gray-faced Immortal Emperor frowned, "Didn’t Mao Xiang say that we shouldn’t back down here? That we should show others we’re not afraid of trouble? Was I wrong?"
"Not being afraid of trouble means standing your ground when others provoke you. Those people clearly weren’t targeting our immortal domain. Why did you have to step in?"
"I know. I did it on purpose to show others that the Yu Immortal Domain’s territory isn’t so easy to take," Protector Gong snorted, clearly unimpressed.
Did they think he was an idiot? He had already assessed that Lan Xiaobu and his group, aside from Gong Yunqi, were weaklings.
To establish dominance, you had to pick on the weak.
The Yu Immortal Domain had just secured its territory, and now they dared to provoke outsiders.
That was how you established dominance.
The Immortal Emperor who had stopped him gave him a cold look and sent out a message.
...
Lan Xiaobu stopped outside the territory of a sect.
As soon as he approached, three Immortal Emperors immediately surrounded him and his companions.
A tall Immortal Emperor at the late stage stared at Lan Xiaobu and said, "What’s the meaning of this? The Qingfang Great Emperor has already stated that the Void Stone’s territories will be re-divided in the future. Everyone knows this, and no one has been fighting over territories recently. Are you planning to defy the Qingfang Great Emperor’s decree?"
Lan Xiaobu said indifferently, "In my eyes, the Qingfang Great Emperor is nothing. But today, I’m not here to take your territory. I want to ask where the territory of Qian Qiong from the Weixing Immortal Domain is located."
Qian Qiong? The tall Immortal Emperor was shocked and quickly scanned Lan Xiaobu and his group again.
Had he misjudged them? Were these three actually strong? Otherwise, who would dare to ask about Qian Qiong’s territory? Qian Qiong was a powerhouse comparable to a half-step God.
If his territory were easy to take, it would have been taken long ago.
Lan Xiaobu’s expression turned cold, "What? You don’t want to answer?"
The tall Immortal Emperor immediately pointed deeper into the area, "Qian Qiong is the Palace Master of the Hu Immortal Palace. The territory the Hu Immortal Palace has taken is his."
The Hu Immortal Palace? Lan Xiaobu’s gaze immediately fell on the Hu Immortal Palace’s territory.
He thought to himself, *That dog really did take the best spot.*
Qian Qiong’s territory was located at the root of the golden leaf, covering at least two hundred square zhang.
On the Void Stone, only five or six territories were better than the Hu Immortal Palace’s.
"Let’s go, Brother Gong. We’ve found our spot," Lan Xiaobu said, leading the way.
"What’s the meaning of this?" To Lan Xiaobu’s surprise, the person who came out of the Hu Immortal Palace was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
To occupy such a large territory with only a Great Luo Golden Immortal guarding it showed just how powerful Qian Qiong was.
It was clear that others had tried to take this territory before, but Qian Qiong had always reclaimed it.
Leaving only a Great Luo Golden Immortal to guard it was a statement of dominance—a declaration that no one could take this territory from him.
"Get lost. This territory is now claimed by the Five Realms Immortal World," Lan Xiaobu said, slapping the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The man didn’t even have a chance to resist before he was killed by the slap.
Everyone on the Void Stone was stunned by Lan Xiaobu’s actions.
Killing was common here, but to slap-kill the guardian of the Hu Immortal Palace’s territory? That was a level of dominance and arrogance rarely seen.
Regardless of Lan Xiaobu’s origins, everyone knew that a new round of bloodshed was about to begin.
There was an unspoken rule on the Void Stone: when someone came to take a territory, other immortal domains would immediately join in to fight for it.
This was a free-for-all.
Only the strongest immortal domains or sects could maintain their territories here for long.
Before the divine senses could continue probing, Lan Xiaobu waved his hand and threw out a handful of array flags.
In the next moment, his territory was enveloped in a defensive array, blocking all divine senses from probing inside.
"Brother Gong, you and Qiao Xing build our residence. I’ll set up the defensive arrays," Lan Xiaobu said.
He knew that after taking Qian Qiong’s territory, Qian Qiong would soon come looking for trouble.
Killing Qian Qiong was the first step in establishing dominance here.
"Got it," Gong Yunqi said casually, pulling out a pile of materials and starting to build the residence.
Lan Xiaobu first set up a ninth-grade defensive immortal array, followed by a ninth-grade trapping and killing array, and then various ninth-grade slaughter arrays, illusion arrays, and divine sense suppression arrays.
After finishing these, he began setting up void slaughter arrays, void trapping arrays, and void illusion arrays.
By the time he finished all this, three days had passed.
To Lan Xiaobu’s surprise, Qian Qiong still hadn’t come to cause trouble.
Not only had Qian Qiong not shown up, but the experts from the Qingfang Immortal Domain and the Jiting Chamber of Commerce were also absent.
Gong Yunqi had already finished building the residence, which had three levels.
Lan Xiaobu occupied the top level, Gong Yunqi the middle, and Qiao Xing the bottom.
"Master Lan, something’s not right. According to reason, that Qian Qiong should have come looking for trouble on the first day. It’s been three days now," Gong Yunqi said, sensing something was amiss.
At that moment, Lan Xiaobu’s communication bead lit up.
The message was from Mu Yichen.
After reading it, Lan Xiaobu chuckled, "Let’s see how Shen Sen plans to take my territory."
"What’s the message?" Gong Yunqi asked quickly.
Lan Xiaobu said, "It’s from Mu Yichen. He says that the day after we left, the Qingfang Immortal Domain held another meeting to discuss how to divide the territories on the Void Stone."
"They’re trying to lure us into a trap, knowing we escaped from Jinyun Immortal City," Gong Yunqi said with a grin.
He wasn’t worried.
After so many days, Lan Xiaobu had probably already set up all the necessary killing arrays.
"Exactly. That guy probably wants to lure us into walking into his trap. Little does he know, even if we were aware of it, I wouldn’t care. He can divide the territories however he wants; I’ll take what I want. If anyone’s unhappy, they can come and try to take my territory," Lan Xiaobu said, equally unconcerned.
"So what do we do now?" Qiao Xing asked urgently.
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand, "Don’t worry. I’ll continue setting up arrays. Earlier, I only set up trapping and killing arrays around our residence. Now, I’ll set up trapping and killing arrays across the entire Void Stone. On top of that, I’ll set up various trapping and killing arrays in the yet-to-be-built Void Plaza. If he wants to play, I’ll play with him. Let’s see who can’t keep up."
Aside from his own territory, Lan Xiaobu focused on setting up void array patterns elsewhere.
He didn’t believe that a ninth-grade void array master, given enough time, couldn’t outplay these guys.
