Chapter 1510

Chapter 1510: King Qilin CityThe Fish King’s expression was so foreboding that she seemed ready to give the crown prince another beating of his life.

However, there were three true kings next to him. Since she was yet to reach that level, it would be almost impossible to bypass them to get at the prince.

“This divine nation’s crown prince is looking to rebel,” Lu Yun sighed with a glance at the man.

“Eh?” It was the crown prince’s turn to glower when he heard Lu Yun’s words. He’d noticed the stranger a long time ago—it made him very uncomfortable that a handsome young man followed by his Fishie’s side.

He’d refrained from erupting with outrage only out of consideration for the dignity of a crown prince. But when the stranger revealed his innermost thoughts with an offhand comment, it was incredibly hard for him to sit still.

“Terra is my Yu Clan’s to begin with and I am her crown prince. What talk is there of rebellion?” He paused and plastered on a genial smile.

“That would be a question for the crown prince.” Lu Yun shook his head. “You should be asking me first before taking Xuanji for your princess consort.”

The Fish King’s eyes widened when she heard Lu Yun’s response. Xuanji was her name, the one that her master had given her when he adopted her. Her surname was Yu for “fish”, her given name was Xuanji for “profound mystery”. Apparently, her name had something to do with the Purple King’s father.

No one else knew of this name other than her master and senior brother and sister, but Lu Yun had very easily used it!

That dispersed the last of her doubts. Lu Yun really was the Purple King’s father and her martial forefather!

“Xuanji?” The crown prince blinked before quickly realizing who the stranger was referring to.

“How dare you talk like this to the crown prince!” hectored one of the true kings by the prince’s side.

He hastily backed away when the crown prince waved him off.

“Might I know who this gentleman is” the prince asked.

“I am Xuanji’s family, of course.” Lu Yun smiled. “Since the crown prince wishes to take Xuanji for his princess consort, her family naturally needs to make an appearance.”

He jerked his hand and sent out a pair of hammers—the Glacial Fire Hammers that he’d taken from the Divine Fire World King. Lu Yun had also taken care of the hammers when he refined the Thunderstruck Wood. After spying into the secrets of the fourth realm’s supplemental dao, even he had no idea what level his craftsmanship was at now.

The supplemental dao of the fourth realm could also be employed in the third realm!

Granted, he wouldn’t be able to deploy that level of strength when the Tome of Life and Death wasn’t his nascent spirit.

The void shook when the hammers appeared and the three true kings standing in front were shoved to the ground by an overwhelming aura. Theqilinbeast that the crown prince was standing on keened and sank into the ground, foaming at the mouth.

“You’re just the Terra crown prince. You better send out the Terra Potentate to talk to me.” Lu Yun retracted the hammers with a beckon. He’d guessed who’d created the hammers—the overlord of Ice. The method that the ruler had gifted him was actually one to activate the hammers!

“Se—senior” The crown prince sprawled on the beast’s head, nearly incoherent with terror. Who would’ve thought that the Fish King’s family would be so fierce and incapacitate him with just a treasure??

“Come on, let’s head to King Qilin City.” Lu Yun took the arm of a dazed Fish King and headed for the capital.

“Your Highness!” The three true kings were the first to react after Lu Yun left. They hastened to the divine beast’s head and helped their master up.

The crown prince was true seventh level—the equivalent of a seventh step king. Lu Yun would be able to easily defeat the prince even without the hammers; he’d only been concerned about the true kings.

“We go back to King Qilin City!” the crown prince declared ominously and glanced at his steed.

It was dead from fright.

“Those hammers were certainly treasures of the fourth realm! How dare a mere superior realm cultivator think he can throw his weight around in my Terra with just something from the fourth realm! Little does he know that we have treasures of the fourth realm as well!”

He’d never suffered such humiliation—he’d been knocked to the ground in public view! If he didn’t slice and dice that bastard for this offense, he wouldn’t be able to rule with conviction even if there came a day when he ruled the land. To think of replacing the Terra Potentate would be also wholly out of reach.

“We go!” The crown prince ground his teeth with cold fury.

King Qilin City was only ten thousand kilometers across, a tiny speck of a city in the Hongmeng. Even the lowliest city was several tens of thousands of kilometers across.

Lu Yun could also see that there wasn’t a single spatial formation or special pocket dimension within it. It was really only ten thousand kilometers—no, not even. It was nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine kilometers across, short one kilometer to make it the full ten thousand.

Instead of rushing into the city, he paused roughly fifteen hundred kilometers outside the city and stared at it.

“The Terra Potentate pulled this city out of some ancient tomb, didn’t he?” Lu Yun suddenly asked.

“Um” The enormously confused Fish King wasn’t sure how to process the question. She didn’t know what’d happened for Lu Yun to suddenly become so strong that he suppressed even true kings.

“I’m your martial grandfather, so don’t fall in love with me,” Lu Yun chuckled. “It won’t be good if your two grandmothers found out.”

“Who, who’s falling in love with you?!” That snapped the Fish King out of it and she glared furiously at him. “No one knows where the city came from, it was here when Terra was established!”

“Okay.” Lu Yun nodded. “There should be a huge spatial fissure beneath King Qilin City. It and all of Terra exist to keep it under control. But where does it lead to?”

He furrowed his brows, thinking how there was a similar fissure in the world of immortals. The great tombs of the Dusk, Azure, Crimson, and Argent Provinces had once buried four spatial fissures that led to the void outside the world.

Those had been the work of Fuxi after he traveled to what was the future for him. He’d separated his senses and buried them there to fill in the fissure.

If Lu Yun guessed correctly, a similar layout for King Qilin City was at play here; there was a crack that led to the unknown beneath the ancient tomb below them.

etvolare’s Thoughts

You know, it feels like the big bad hit upon a winning plot with the third/fourth realms and just replicated it in the world of immortals? And wait, the crown prince is talking about replacing his father’s master… okay, he really is up to something.
