Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1232: Besieging the Redbud King

Lu Yun naturally wouldn’t go looking for the Moon King—that wasn’t a level of existence he could afford to provoke. He only wanted to be alert for any possible sources of trouble, hence asking the Meteorite King about his co-conspirators. It would be for the best if the Moon King didn’t irritate him again.

……

With the Meteorite King by their side, Lu Yun and the little fox could now truly protect themselves in the Hongmeng and set forth for Hopeless Major to find Qing Yu.

Instead of immediately embarking on his journey, however, Lu Yun first stayed another three months in Starcloud City to rearrange everything. He practically ended up rebuilding the city that almost rivaled a major world in size.

He left only when fully satisfied after three months.

Miao Qimiao and Luo Shanshan sent him off with teary eyes. By the time the supplemental grandmaster finally departed, the Starcloud treasury was almost empty.

Aside from reforging the six puppets etched with the Thousand Obliteration Formation of the Six Royals, the rest of the items in the treasury streamed into the city itself. Not only was the city a massive formation in its current iteration, but it was also something like an enormous treasure now.

In Lu Yun’s words, these items were just wasting away and gathering dust in the Starcloud treasury. It was far better to bring them out for use.

And thus, Starcloud City returned to Miao Qimiao’s oversight.

……

When Lu Yun, the little fox, and the Meteorite King arrived at Redbud City, they were dressed in long black enforcer robes and masks that concealed their faces and presence. They didn’t raise any attention with their presence and swiftly vanished into the rolling waves of the vast Redbud Plains.

The grassy plains were so immense that they were larger than the entire chaos. If it wasn't for the Meteorite King commanding a flight treasure, Lu Yun and the little fox would've never reached Redbud Mountain through their strength alone, even if they spent the rest of their lives traveling to it.

Purple stretched to the horizon in the Redbud Plains; a type of purple redbud grass carpeted it and was the namesake of the Redbud Plains, Redbud Mountain, and Redbud King. In all of the Hongmeng, this type of grass could be found only in the Redbud Plains.

It seemed to be an ordinary type of grass without any energy or qi. Various supplemental grandmasters of the Hongmeng, and even those who were titled kings from their supplemental dao, had studied it for countless years without determining what it could be used for.

As time went on, many gave up studying the redbud grass. Regardless, that didn’t prevent Hongmeng cultivators from exploring the plains themselves. Rich in resources, plentiful in treasures, and its ruler almost completely indifferent to the world—as long as cultivators didn’t disturb her at Redbud Mountain, she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them either.

Though she was the arcane beast king of the Redbud Plains, the other beasts in the plain weren’t necessarily her subordinates. When she incited the tide of beasts to attack Redbud City, she’d had to use a certain treasure to command all of the beasts in the plains.

Lu Yun’s goal was very clear this time—head to Redbud Mountain, find the king, and ask about Hopeless Major.

With the Meteorite King by their side, his constantly present forcefield extended to them as well. They were in no danger of being detected by Hopeless Major experts. Unfortunately, the Meteorite King was a textbook shut-in. He rarely left Starspace Region, so he had no idea where the major was.

Last time they visited Redbud Mountain, the Redbud King had shifted space to bring them in and send them out. The Meteorite King also possessed the same ability, but if he dared use the strength of a king to enter the mountain, the Redbud King would execute him on the spot.

Aside from Lu Yun, the little fox, and the Meteorite King, the Hongmeng Treasurehunter Rat rounded out their group. Lu Yun had sent it into the Tome of Life and Death so it wouldn’t run around and cause trouble.

After breaking through to a Hongmeng cultivation realm, Lu Yun had written down the rat’s name in the book. That’d sent the rat into some kind of metamorphosis and it was currently fast asleep.

“What?!” The Meteorite King suddenly paused. Standing at the bow of the flight treasure, his expression snapped tight with shock when he saw Redbud Mountain close at hand. “Someone’s attacking the mountain!”

“What??” Lu Yun reacted with dismay as well. He’d speculated early on that others would covet the mountain that the Redbud King possessed—it was the largest mine of purple crystal in the realm. However, he hadn’t expected that they would come for her so quickly.

“That’s right, the kings that’d wanted to attack Redbud Mountain before couldn’t find a plausible reason to. The tide of beasts that she summoned three years ago and her sudden appearance in Starspace Region is the perfect excuse!” murmured Lu Yun.

“The Moon King!” The Meteorite King was as white as a sheet beneath his mask. He could already see a bright moon twinkling with silver radiance in midair. It was incredibly similar to the little fox’s Oddmoon, but different at the same. Plainly, Oddmoon had been fashioned using this moon as the blueprint.

Complex relations existed between the Moon King and the three kings of Mangcang Mountain. The Moon King also possessed another two kings beneath her banner. Since she was here, then the three kings of Mangcang Mountain were sure to be found nearby as well!

Lu Yun’s expression stilled with gravity. There were at least ten kings hovering around Redbud Mountain—their intentions to kill the Redbud King as clear as day.

Present moment.

The Redbud King was dressed in purple robes and purple locks fluttered out behind her. Purple radiance shone from her body, and next to her, a golden cow raised a hand to beat a war drum to summon all of the arcane beasts in the plains.

She sent him flying with a kick.

Ten kings were besieging Redbud Mountain. Any beast below a titled king who came would just be rendezvousing with death.

“Redbud King, we will spare your life if you hand over the mountain!” shouted a man in black heavy armor. His face was indistinguishable—only his desire to lay claim to the mountain could be identified.

“You want Redbud Mountain?” Though she was grimly serious, the Redbud King didn’t panic. “You can try.”

“In that case, we won’t show you any courtesy!” The man in heavy armor was the king of Mangcang Mountain—the Mangcang King!

Hummm.

An enormous “justice” character appeared in the sky as Lu Yun, the little fox, and the Meteorite King landed on Redbud Mountain at the same time.

“The Enforcer Alliance?” sneered the ten kings at this newest addition to the scene.

The alliance maintained the Hongmeng’s orders and laws, but only for those below kinghood. Once a being became a titled king, the realm’s orders and laws became nothing but playthings to them.

The Enforcer Alliance usually couldn’t be bothered to police the kings either.

“There’s a king among them? So you guys have decided to stick your nose into our matters?”

Enforcer uniforms were blessed by the Hongmeng Tower, so not even kings could see through them. However, the Meteorite King was purposefully releasing his kingly aura.

“The alliance naturally does not intervene in someone else’s affairs,” responded Lu Yun. “We’re just here to witness this battle and see how many kings fall. How many will withstand the Redbud King if she throws caution to the wind and attacks you with her full strength?”

Lol, it's like you're holding someone's treasure and saying, "Now, wouldn't it be a damn shame if someone dropped this and smashed it?"
