Chapter 1233: The Endless Reaches (1/2)

“What a good idea!” The Redbud King lit up when she heard Lu Yun’s words. “If I concentrate all of my power on attacking one of them at a time, I can kill four, heavily injure three, and then die to the last three.

“One for seven, that’s a fantastic deal!” Her eyes gleamed with enthusiasm.

The ten kings besieging Redbud Mountain scowled broodingly. The Redbud King was right—if she decided to attack with her full strength, she’d be able to kill four with her speed before they contained the situation.

As one of the strongest kings in the Hongmeng, she would out muscle any of them if they took her on solo.

“It’s not one for seven, but two for ten.” The Meteorite King stepped forward without looking at the Moon King. He was Lu Yun’s Infernum now, so everything that had ever been when he was alive was no longer. Though he was still grateful to the Moon King for her protection during his weakness, he lived and breathed for Lu Yun’s command now.

“If you include me, we’ll be able to go down with all of you.”

Whoosh!

The shortsword Quiet appeared in his grasp with a shake of his hand, freezing the air around Redbud Mountain when it materialized.

“Leave!” The Mangcang and Moon King met each other’s eyes, both noting how terrifying the weapon’s capabilities were. This was absolutely a great treasure of the Hongmeng!

Though the Meteorite King was weaker than any of the kings attacking the mountain, the exotic sword he wielded could absolutely ensure mutual destruction of both parties. A strong treasure was much too important in the third realm.

Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief to see the Mangcang King and others depart. He and the little fox would be dead without a doubt if a fight broke out, regardless of who took down who.

“What a pity that they got away.” The Redbud King smacked her lips, still up for some action.

“Eh?” Lu Yun blinked. “Did you have other trump cards that you could use against them?”

“No.” She shook her head. “It just would’ve been nice to smash some of their heads.”

“Uhhh…” Lu Yun chuckled ruefully. This Redbud King was a weird one.

“So what brings you two here?” she asked with confusion. Though the king couldn’t see through their disguises, she still recognized them. She could even tell that the masked enforcer was the Meteorite King.

“…this isn’t a good place to talk, let’s go inside.” The Redbud King waved a hand when Lu Yun remained silent, changing the surroundings and bringing them to the great hall they’d visited last time.

The hall was now a massive spacetime formation of illusion, and the Redbud Butterfly chrysalis rested in its center.

“So tell me, what is it?” The Redbud King seemed to have forgotten that she’d faced ten kings only moments ago and asked after Lu Yun instead.

“I want to go to Hopeless Major!” He cut straight to the chase. “The Hopeless Major of the Ten Valleys of Evil.”

“Hopeless Major?!” gasped the dauntless Redbud King who’d wanted to fight even when she was hopelessly outnumbered. She almost jumped into the air. “Why do you want to go there??” she quivered.

“Um… is it that scary?” Lu Yun goggled at her reaction.

“I’d rather engage all ten of those kings in battle than provoke Hopeless Major,” the Redbud King responded solemnly. “You need to tell me what you want to do there, or I’m not telling you where it is.”

“I’m looking for someone!” Lu Yun took a deep breath. “My dao partner is in Hopeless Major and if my guess is correct, she rules it.”
