Chapter 1213: Martial Grandson (1/2)

There were countless Hongmeng worlds in the fourth realm, but theirs was the most noteworthy one of them all.

The five hells and even the Tome of Life and Death had all appeared in this Hongmeng world. That meant it was exceedingly possible that the heaven and earth in the deepest reaches of this realm, the root of heaven and earth, was the origin point of the entire fourth realm.

But that was just speculation. No one knew the truth of the matter. The only thing known was that it was indeed possible to enter the fourth realm here from the depths of the first realm.

……

Redbud City quickly fell fully into Zhuo Bufan’s hands, making it the newest addition to the Scorch King’s banner. As unwilling as the many moguls in the city might be, there was nothing they could do about it. Their new city lord was a subordinate to a king and had already refined the city’s core essence. He wielded complete authority over the city.

Although the Redbud King had never acknowledged that this city was part of her demesne, no one dared have designs on it given its location on the fringes of the Redbud Plains. Now that the Scorch King’s men had taken it, but the Redbud King remained unmoved, that meant she was tacitly allowing the handover.

Naturally, Lu Yun didn’t care about what happened to the city. His relationship with the Redbud King wasn’t to the point where they’d trust each other with their lives, or he would’ve already asked her about Qing Yu.

With a flash of transportation brilliance, the group of three once more vanished inside a formation. When Lu Yun next appeared, he was situated inside an extremely prosperous city. This city was enormous, many times bigger than Redbud City, and so colossal that it was like a major world.

Starcloud City of Starspace Region!

Starspace Region was one of the strongest regions in the Hongmeng. It boasted of countless experts and titled kings—the Scorch King was only one of many. Starcloud City and another thousand and eighty other cities were his territory.

Though he was one of the hundred and eight kings of the Enforcer Alliance, he possessed a faction in his own right and had two other kings beneath his banner.

The Enforcer Alliance was a loose alliance instead of a regular faction. As immense as it was, its main purpose was to uphold the various orders and laws of the Hongmeng, not to be involved in conflict and power struggles.

Otherwise, there would be exceedingly few in the realm who could withstand all one hundred and eight kings acting in concert.

Starcloud City was under Zhuo Bufan’s purview. The Scorch King only had three sons and the other two were peak superior realm. In comparison, Zhuo Bufan well deserved his reputation as a bumbling fool.

But even so, his father still loved him very much.

Zhuo Bufan was only in the common realm, which meant the limits on his reproductive capabilities were far, far less stringent than his two older brothers. It was up to him to perpetuate the family line.

……

“Greetings to the young lord!”

“Greetings to the young lord!”

“Greetings to the young lord!”

Cultivators were waiting on the other side of the transportation formation; they bowed in unison when they saw Zhuo Bufan. They were dressed in uniform outfits, but not of the Enforcer Alliance. They were plainly the Scorch King’s private army—Starcloud City didn’t belong to the alliance either.

“All of you are dismissed.” Zhuo Bufan waved them off and then beckoned with a hand, bringing a tiny flying treasure in front of the three. The group vanished in a streak of golden light after setting foot on it.
