Chapter 1215: The Little Fox’s Experiment (2/2)
The city was bright red in color, as if carved from scarlet crystal. With the chaos sun’s rays illuminating the city, the metropolis released tens of thousands of beams like it was a second sun.
Scorching Sun City!
The capital of the Scorch King and where he resided!
“Why, why am I at Scorching Sun City?!” Miao Qimiao turned anxious. His duties were to safeguard Starcloud City and ensure its stability, but he was somehow outside Scorching Sun City instead!
“What’s going on? What just happened?” He regarded his surroundings with stark confusion. Prismatic light danced through the air from the brilliance thrown off by the city. This was exactly as Scorching Sun City should be.
“Miao Qimiao!” A voice that shook the ears traveled out of the city.
“Your Majesty!” Miao Qimiao trembled and went down on bended knee.
“I told you to protect Starcloud City, so why have you returned to the capital?” The Scorch King’s tones weren’t loud, but his every word rang in Miao Qimiao’s ears like a clap of thunder upon his heart.
“I, I…” Miao Qimiao floundered for words. He had no idea why he was suddenly here.
“Why aren’t you on your way back yet?!” hectored the king.
“Yes, immediately!” Miao Qimiao managed to garble out just as the white fog rose again, obscuring everything in front of him. He regarded the situation warily this time instead of leaping into action. Something was amiss.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Heaven-shaking war cries rose from all directions and the fog suddenly unfurled to the sides, bringing a large battlefield into view. There were arcane beasts and cultivators in it, all wearing heavy black armor. Their foes were boundless vicious ghosts and malicious spirits in the air.
“This!!” Miao Qimiao’s hair stood on end—this was a battlefield between the living and the ghosts!”
The vicious ghosts of the Hongmeng were completely different from that of the chaos and world of immortals. The ones in the third realm possessed almost tangible bodies and could manipulate various forces in the Hongmeng.
Miao Qimiao would’ve never fathomed that he’d be sent to such a battlefield!
Pfff!
A cultivator next to him was suddenly ripped into two. Burning hot blood splashed onto his face; its metallic tang burrowed into his nose.
“It’s real blood! I’ve really come to a battlefield of vicious ghosts!” Frosty blue lightning once more arced from his hands.
……
“Little fox, you’ve really gone overboard this time. Miao Qimiao is a guest elder of Starcloud City! If anything happens to him here…” Lu Yun looked ruefully at the heroic Miao Qimiao fending off enemies inside a formation.
“He’s the one who barged in.” The little fox pouted and held up her face with both hands. “I happened to be experimenting combining formations of illusions with refining illusion into reality. He ran right into it, so eh. I need an experimentation subject anyway. He’ll do.”
Big ole F for the guy.
