Chapter 1228: Co-Conspirator (1/2)
Staring dumbly at the stunning woman, no one could say a word. Who would’ve fathomed that Lu Yun would suddenly summon the Redbud King??
……
“You… you…” A stammering Lu Yun also stared at his reinforcement. “You sent your primary body, not a replica?!”
“That’s right.” The Redbud King nodded.
“Didn’t you say this token would call only your replica?” he asked ruefully.
If he’d known that the Redbud token would summon the Redbud King in person, he would’ve never used it so easily. The karmic repercussions were too great when they involved a king, and he would now owe too big a favor.
With the Redbud King’s foot firmly planted on the green clad Meteorite King’s chest, the struggling ghost king felt like a mountain had landed on him. He couldn’t twitch a single finger.
The Redbud King truly stood at the apex of the realm. She was the strongest powerhouse in the Redbud Region, its only ruler and king. Now that she was here in person, she immediately suppressed the Meteorite King and contained the situation.
Everyone on the scene held their breaths and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the stunningly beautiful king.
She scratched her head, then smiled. “I decided to come myself when I sensed ghostly qi around you. Who would’ve thought that the Meteorite King would be a ghost king?
“Thank goodness I’m here in person, or all of you little fellows would’ve died to the last, even if my replica could keep him in check.”
Lu Yun nodded with resignation.
“Alright, this is Starspace King territory, so I can’t remain here indefinitely. Hmm, I’ll take the Meteorite King with me then.” She hauled him up by the collar and paused when she was about to leave. “Wait, that doesn’t seem right. If I leave like this, will people think that I’m a co-conspirator?”
“Don’t kill him!” Lu Yun flung out a hasty hand when he saw purple light glint balefully in the king’s eyes. “If you kill him, that’s doing away with a key suspect. The best way to handle things now is to send him to Starspace City and have the Starspace King handle this.”
Given her relative lack of social experience, the Redbud King often made the wrong decision when it came to interacting with others. If that hadn’t been the case, she wouldn’t be the only king in the vast Redbud Region.
She frowned slightly, “The Starspace King is an old fart, I’m supposed to deal with him? Forget it, you handle it.”
She casually threw the sealed green clad Meteorite King onto the ground before Lu Yun, whose jaw dropped at her actions.
The Redbud King rubbed her temples, then vanished with a turn of her body.
“I’ve placed another one hundred and eight sealed premium purple crystal veins into the two tokens. Mm, mmhmm, I’ve discovered that the spacetime formation of illusion that you’ve set up for me can evolve!” Her voice sounded in Lu Yun and the little fox’s ears. “The value of this formation can’t be measured in premium purple crystals anymore.”
The two looked wordlessly at each other. So… the Redbud King’s primary purpose for coming in person was to bring them money.
They’d set up the formation with their core great dao. As their daos assimilated into the Hongmeng over the past three years, so did their grasp of the supplemental daos continuously improve. Thus, the formation that they’d set up together matched the pace of their advancements.
It now had the potential to be a king level formation.
The Redbud King wasn’t really an idiot; she knew full well what this meant, which was why she’d willingly offered up her friendship. Though her manner had been a little too straightforward, it was precisely what Lu Yun needed.
