Chapter 1480: King Meets King

King Meets King

Vermilion earrings swayed in the sunlight;

A red-based, black-patterned Theatrical Robe fluttered silently in the wind;

Under the opening of the path by those four Rank 8s, [Male Lead], [Female Lead], [Painted Face Role], and [Secondary Male Role], a figure strolled unhurriedly on White Pigeon Road. The gentle breeze brushed past his black hair ends, and a pair of eyes as calm as a lake reflected everything around him...

The moment he appeared, an aura of World-Ending that made everyone's heart palpitate bared its fangs at White Pigeon Square like a violently arrogant lion!

Buzz——!!

In an instant,

A violent wind blew through White Pigeon Square!!

Teetering leaves, mixed with flower petals, spiraled up into the sky under the sweep of the violent wind. At the same time, those lightweight hats, peaceful white pigeons, and thin handkerchiefs all left the citizens amidst their exclamations... They flurriedly blocked their dress hems and fluttering hair. In the gazes they directed at that figure in the Theatrical Robe, a strong sense of shock and fear climbed up!

It's that rumored World-Ending Calamity!!

It's the legend published in the newspaper who solo-killed a Thought Calamity in the Far North Wasteland!!

This Scarlet Sovereign who commands the entire Ghost Mockery Abyss...

He...

He actually became the Red King of the Dusk Society?!!

At this moment, it wasn't just the six Knight Orders and the citizens of the Spirit Void Domain who were shocked... Even the many members of the Dusk Society were stunned.

"He... he he he he..."

Jian Changsheng widened his eyes, looking at that incomparably familiar face, stuttering for a long time without being able to speak.

He fiercely pulled out that "Old Man Red King Portrait" personally painted by Eight of Clubs from his chest, repeatedly compared it with Chen Ling's face a few times, and then without another word, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it back into the equally dumbfounded Eight of Clubs' chest...

"Are you playing with me!!" Jian Changsheng cursed.

Eight of Clubs himself hadn't reacted either. He looked at Chen Ling walking slowly over, his expression changing from initial surprise to sudden realization, and then revealed an expression of "this is very reasonable".

As for Sun Bumian at the side, he seemed to have been mentally prepared early on. After seeing Chen Ling's appearance, he revealed a "just as I thought" expression.

Jiang Xiaohua scratched his head in confusion, still not understanding the situation:

"Why is Hearts over there?"

"Idiot, Hearts is the new Red King!" Sun Bumian delivered the final blow.

"How could it be like this... This guy... actually really became the Red King?" Jian Changsheng muttered to himself. "Could it be that he's looking for fun again? Playing everyone into it?"

Although Jian Changsheng subconsciously said this, he was very clear in his heart that although Six of Hearts usually liked to play some unexpected tricks, the situation before them involved the safety of everyone in the Dusk Society. Six of Hearts wouldn't joke with so many people's lives...

Six of Hearts really had become the new Red King.

On the tower, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth rose slightly;

Nine of Hearts, sitting on the ground, applauded crazily, shouting how interesting it was;

The Elderly Lady at the side looked kindly at Chen Ling walking over, her eyes narrowing into slits with a smile;

Jack of Hearts, with a Curved Blade hanging at his waist, felt that rampaging World-Ending Aura on Chen Ling's body, and his expression was incomparably strange...

At this time, the Dusk Society members scattered all over White Pigeon Square had some who already guessed this possibility, and some who found it completely unexpected. But after a brief moment of surprise, they immediately accepted this fact. Regardless of whether looking comprehensively from the degree of legend, growth potential, lineage, identity, strength, or personality in all aspects, Chen Ling was indeed the most reasonable and sensible candidate for Red King.

Although Chen Ling was a "newcomer," for so long, too many Dusk Society members had paid attention to him. He had accomplished too many things that other members didn't even dare to think about. Added to the fact that they all knew it was Chen Ling who earned their wages for them, everyone had some level of good impression of him.

And most importantly, Chen Ling becoming the Red King meant that the Ghost Mockery Abyss would also become an ally of the Dusk Society...

"Dusk Society, Ghost Mockery Abyss, plus a 'Red King' whose deterrent power can be called a nuclear weapon... Damn! We've really turned our fortunes around this time." The Beggar couldn't help but grin and laugh.

The previous Red King led the Dusk Society to gradually grow and strengthen in the dark;

This Red King directly brought the Dusk Society into the open right from the start, and single-handedly pushed it to the peak of the world!

Yeah, I've shown all my cards, so what?

You guys,

Who dares to touch me?

Faintly, the roars of one Eighth-Tier Calamity after another transmitted from the Gray World outside the Spirit Void Domain, as if a large batch of Calamities had already surrounded this place.

At the instant Chen Ling personally showed the Dusk Society's cards, a behemoth capable of making all Human Domains wary and even fearful had already bared its fangs ferociously to the world... Now they didn't need to be low-key, didn't need to hide, didn't need to develop slowly in the dark. Revealing their edge was the best deterrence.

When the roars of the Calamities outside the realm sounded, all the Dusk Society members present were as if injected with chicken blood, extremely excited!

What is Team Building?

This is fucking called Team Building!!

Turning from dark to light, deterring a Realm, right now they felt their blood boiling even more than when they attacked the Wuji Domain together back then!

Amidst those pairs of gazes that were either fearful, wary, curious, or excited...

Chen Ling continued to walk forward calmly.

He didn't seem to care about the gazes of these citizens at all. He just strolled across White Pigeon Road like this, and also passed by the side of the three people, Nine of Hearts and the others, sitting on the ground... Amidst Nine of Hearts' sparkling and incomparably excited gaze, he arrived under the shade of the tree.

The four Rank 8 K-cards stood quietly behind him. Chen Ling brushed the sleeves of his Theatrical Robe and sat down on the other side of the Chessboard, as casually as if he had taken a walk to a senior citizens' activity park.

This new Red King looked at the Lord of Spirit Void and smiled faintly:

"...I heard you were looking for me?"

The Lord of Spirit Void was different from the Wu Tongyuan in Chen Ling's impression.

This wasn't to say that his appearance had changed, but rather his exhaustion, his eyes, and that faint aura of detachment from the mundane world flowing out from his body, which were worlds apart from the Wu Tongyuan that Chen Ling knew.

But what made Chen Ling even more guarded was that undeniable sense of danger coming from the other party...

Even the Calamity of Mockery sensed danger.

The Lord of Spirit Void witnessed Chen Ling's entrance, but from beginning to end, his expression didn't change. He didn't seem surprised by this new Red King's appearance and World-Ending Aura. Facing Chen Ling's question, he just nodded quietly:

"Yes, I was looking for you."

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Should I call you Dr. Wu... or, Lord of Spirit Void?"

"Lord of Spirit Void." The Lord of Spirit Void replied faintly, "Ultimately, we don't know each other. Which era's me you know has nothing to do with the current me... Moreover, I am no longer the Wu Tongyuan of the past."

From the Lord of Spirit Void's few sentences, Chen Ling keenly captured some emotions... Besides his indifference towards him, there was also a wisp of his towards the former Wu Tongyuan...

Disgust?
