Chapter 399: No One Left to Do the Dirty Work
On the Void Stone, Lan Xiaobu wandered around aimlessly, but no one came forward to speak.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu and his two companions arrived, they killed the guarding disciples of the Hu Immortal Palace and directly took over the position of Qian Qiong from the Hu Immortal Palace.
Whether these three were ruthless or reckless, no one dared to step forward and speak out until the Hu Immortal Palace dealt with them.
The protector of the Heyu Immortal Domain, who had been scolded by Lan Xiaobu earlier, now felt that something was amiss.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to utter a single word and simply sat quietly in his own territory.
Lan Xiaobu wasn’t wandering around without purpose.
He was busy setting up a series of trapping and killing immortal arrays across the Void Stone.
After leaving the Qingfang Immortal Domain and killing the guarding disciples of the Hu Immortal Palace, he knew a major battle was inevitable.
Thus, he wanted to fortify the Void Stone like an iron fortress, ideally with arrays capable of slaying immortal emperors as easily as killing chickens.
To Lan Xiaobu’s delight, while setting up the protective arrays, he discovered a teleportation point.
This teleportation array was undoubtedly left by the Qingfang Immortal Domain.
Without hesitation, Lan Xiaobu sealed it off.
From now on, anyone wanting to come from the Qingfang Immortal Domain would have to rely on flying treasures.
The ten or so days it would take them to arrive would give him ample time to set up various killing arrays.
After completing the arrays on the Void Stone, Lan Xiaobu went outside to set up more trapping and killing arrays.
The dueling square outside the Void Stone hadn’t been built yet, likely to be constructed after this meeting.

In the grand hall of the Qingfang Immortal Domain’s Immortal Court, Shen Sen announced, “After three days of negotiation, the allocation plan for the Void Stone has been agreed upon by all…”
Wu Qiancheng, the Immortal Court King of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, interjected, “Great Emperor Qingfang, not everyone has agreed to this outcome. At the very least, the Five Realms Immortal World, which had previously offered many valuable suggestions, has no representative here. Additionally, several other immortal domains are also absent.”
Ji Muyong, the Immortal Court King of the Qianyan Immortal Domain, said indifferently, “Great Emperor Moon Spirit, that’s not entirely accurate. This meeting was personally announced by Great Emperor Qingfang in Jinyun Immortal City. I believe anyone who isn’t deaf would have heard about it. Since they didn’t come, it means they simply don’t care about the positions on the Void Stone.”
Wu Qiancheng sneered, “Perhaps it’s because someone saw their low cultivation and secretly took them out.”
Although it was beneficial for him that Lan Xiaobu wasn’t participating, Wu Qiancheng couldn’t stand such underhanded tactics.
Anyone with half a brain would know that the Five Realms King must have been targeted.
Otherwise, there’s no way he wouldn’t have attended this allocation.
Great Emperor Qingfang waved his hand, “Let’s not worry about the Five Realms King for now. Once the division plan for the Void Stone is finalized, we’ll head there immediately.”
Lan Xiaobu had arrived at the Void Stone three days ago and killed the guarding disciples of the Hu Immortal Palace.
Shen Sen knew this very well.
Not only that, but he had also stopped Qian Qiong from rushing to the Void Stone to seek revenge on Lan Xiaobu.
Similarly, he had prevented the Jiting Chamber of Commerce from going after Lan Xiaobu.
He wasn’t doing this out of kindness toward Lan Xiaobu but out of fear that the treasures might fall into Qian Qiong’s hands.
Not just the previous treasures, but also the secret of how Lan Xiaobu had reached the Void Stone in just two or three days.
Stopping Qian Qiong was simple.
He didn’t even need an excuse—just sealing the teleportation array was enough.
Without the teleportation array, it would take Qian Qiong at least eight to ten days to reach the Void Stone.
By then, Shen Sen would have already arrived with his people.
Letting Lan Xiaobu run rampant on the Void Stone was also part of his plan.
When the various Immortal Court Kings arrived, Shen Sen needed a reason to take Lan Xiaobu away.
Now, Lan Xiaobu had given him that reason.
How could he not seize it?
Hearing that they were heading to the Void Stone, everyone quieted down.
Great Emperor Qingfang continued, “When we go to the Void Stone, I hope everyone strictly adheres to the plan we’ve agreed upon. If anyone tries to change the terms midway, the rest of us will unite against them. In fact, for many of the later-arriving immortal domains, this plan is a great loss for my Qingfang Immortal Domain.”
Even Wu Qiancheng, the Immortal Court King of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, couldn’t argue with this.
His domain hadn’t secured any territory on the Void Stone, while the Qingfang Immortal Domain had the largest share.
If Qingfang was willing to give up its largest territory and agree to a reallocation, what could he say?
After three days of arguing, everything that needed to be said had been said.
Now, no one had any objections.
Those who hadn’t secured a position on the Void Stone were eager for a reallocation.
As for those who had already secured positions, since Great Emperor Qingfang himself had given up his share, what could they say? Everything had already been discussed.
Great Emperor Qingfang Shen Sen stood up first, “This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Let’s set off now.”
If it weren’t for Lan Xiaobu being on the Void Stone, Shen Sen wouldn’t have been so eager.
He would have waited a few more days.
But with Lan Xiaobu there, his greatest concern wasn’t that Lan Xiaobu would escape.
As the Immortal Court King of the Five Realms Immortal World, Lan Xiaobu couldn’t just run away.
What Shen Sen feared most was Lan Xiaobu falling into someone else’s hands.

Over three hundred people followed Great Emperor Qingfang to a white hall next to the Immortal Court King’s palace.
Everyone knew the significance of this white hall—it housed the only teleportation array leading to the Void Stone in the Qingfang Immortal Domain.
“Esteemed Great Emperors, this teleportation array was built by my Qingfang Immortal Domain at great cost, taking decades to complete. It can directly transport us to the Void Stone. However, due to the complexities of the void, this array can only transport thirty people at a time. With our current numbers, we’ll need eleven trips…” Outside the white hall, Great Emperor Qingfang Shen Sen personally explained the teleportation array to everyone.
No one doubted his words.
Void teleportation arrays weren’t easy to construct.
Many void teleportation arrays were naturally formed, while others were built by beings who transcended this realm.
Void teleportation not only had to account for distance but also void factors like void vortices and spatial dislocations.
That wasn’t even the main issue.
The real challenge was that many natural laws in the void were incomplete, making the construction of a teleportation array incredibly difficult.
It required materials that could manipulate these incomplete laws, and such materials were priceless.
Several Immortal Court Kings quickly chimed in, “The Qingfang Immortal Domain has truly worked hard this time, making a tremendous contribution and sacrifice for the sake of our immortal realm.”
Great Emperor Qingfang smiled, “We are all part of the same immortal realm. Naturally, I hope all immortal domains can survive the coming tribulation.”
This was the effect he wanted.
As long as everyone felt indebted to the Qingfang Immortal Domain, there would be less interference when he took Lan Xiaobu.
“Great Emperor Qingfang!” a sudden voice called out.
Shen Sen turned around and immediately smiled warmly, cupping his hands in greeting, “Ah, it’s Palace Master Qian.”
The newcomer was none other than Qian Qiong.
His killing intent was barely restrained, and even a fool could see the murderous aura around him.
Qian Qiong cupped his hands again and said, “Great Emperor Qingfang, my position on the Void Stone has been seized. Not only did this person take my spot, but they also killed my disciples from the Hu Immortal Palace. Since you were in the middle of a meeting, I didn’t dare to use the teleportation array without permission. Now, I hope to borrow your array to head to the Void Stone immediately.”
The truth was, he wasn’t allowed to use it.
“Who dares to be so bold?” Shen Sen feigned anger, as if someone had stolen his own territory.
Qian Qiong replied, “You know this person, Great Emperor. It’s the Five Realms King of the Five Realms Immortal World, Lan Xiaobu.”
“What?” Wu Qiancheng, the Immortal Court King of the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, looked at Qian Qiong in shock, almost suspecting he was lying.
Lan Xiaobu’s cultivation was probably not even at the immortal king level.
How could someone below immortal king level seize the territory of Qian Qiong, a peak immortal emperor?
“The Five Realms King? Him?” Shen Sen frowned, then angrily said, “No wonder he didn’t attend the Void Stone allocation meeting. He went ahead and seized territory on the Void Stone instead. Palace Master Qian, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter.”
Feeling his response wasn’t complete, Shen Sen added apologetically, “Palace Master Qian, after several days of negotiation, we’ve decided to reallocate the positions on the Void Stone. Whether it’s your territory or mine from the Qingfang Immortal Domain, everything will be redistributed.”
Qian Qiong had clearly already learned about the meeting’s contents.
Facing over three hundred immortal emperors, he knew he had no room to resist.
He cupped his hands and said, “Great Emperor Qingfang, I fully support this decision and will strictly follow the opinions of the Immortal Court Kings. However, Lan Xiaobu killed my disciples from the Hu Immortal Palace. I must take him away.”
Shen Sen put on a troubled expression, “Because this meeting also involves issues of Immortal Court Kings refusing to comply with the Void Stone allocation, any Immortal Court King who disobeys will be dealt with by my Qingfang Immortal Domain on behalf of all immortal domains.”
Then, as if considering Qian Qiong’s position, Shen Sen added, “How about this? We’ll capture Lan Xiaobu first, follow the agreed-upon procedures, and then hand him over to you. How does that sound?”
“Thank you, Great Emperor Qingfang,” Qian Qiong said, his expression softening slightly.
Meanwhile, the vice-president of the Jiting Chamber of Commerce, Hong Qianyun, cursed Qian Qiong inwardly for being a fool.
Lan Xiaobu’s value wasn’t in his life but in the treasures he carried.
Once Great Emperor Qingfang took Lan Xiaobu away, Qian Qiong wouldn’t get a single thing.
Of course, he didn’t know Qian Qiong’s true thoughts.
Qian Qiong wasn’t aware of the treasures Lan Xiaobu possessed.
All he wanted was Lan Xiaobu’s life so he could return to the Five Realms Immortal World and refine it.
“Very well, in that case, you’ll be in the first group to go with us,” Great Emperor Qingfang said, waving his hand and moving Qian Qiong to the front of the teleportation queue.
Though many Immortal Court Kings were dissatisfied, at this point, Great Emperor Qingfang had the final say.
It was only now that many began to miss Lan Xiaobu.
If that fearless Immortal Court King were here, Great Emperor Qingfang wouldn’t have been able to act so unilaterally.
Three days ago, during the allocation of positions, it was Lan Xiaobu who had driven away some sects and immortal clans, saving spots for the immortal domains.
Because Lan Xiaobu wasn’t afraid to offend others, Great Emperor Qingfang hadn’t been able to dominate the proceedings.
Now that Lan Xiaobu was gone, there was no one left to do the dirty work.
