Open up and break into another world

The Cloud Master was undoubtedly one of the top figures in the Yan Yan Continent; even in the entire Divine Domain, his reputation was illustrious.

As for the Scarlet Flame Governor, he was at most a local tyrant of the Scarlet Flame Prefecture; compared to the Cloud Master, the difference was like heaven and earth! The Cloud Master could easily sweep through the entire Scarlet Flame Prefecture with just a casual subordinate!

The Scarlet Flame Governor had met Yun Ning once—at Yun Ning's coming-of-age ceremony. The Cloud Master had grandly invited powerful figures from all over the Divine Domain; at that time, the Scarlet Flame Governor could only sit at the very end, catching a glimpse of Yun Ning from afar.

Therefore, when he recognized Yun Ning, the Scarlet Flame Governor trembled all over, and disregarding the chaotic atmosphere in the banquet hall, he hurriedly plastered a smile on his face: "I didn't know Young Master Yun would grace us with his presence, please forgive my lack of welcome…"

However, Yun Ning didn't even glance at the Scarlet Flame Governor; his attention was entirely on Xu Ming.

"Master! I've finally found you!"

Yun Ning excitedly ran towards Xu Ming. And those King-level experts of the Scarlet Flame Prefecture who had been restrained were all sent flying backward by a wave of the Moro God Emperor's hand, falling to the ground.

"Uh…" Xu Ming's face was full of speechlessness—this Yun Ning was really like a piece of dog skin plaster; he had already tried to shake him off, but he was still able to find a way to stick to him.

At this time, Lü Qing, the Hundred Mile God Emperor, and the Ghost Cry God Emperor also recognized Yun Ning's identity!

Yun Ning, the only son of the Cloud Master! And the Cloud Master's strength was said to be in the top ten in the entire Divine Domain, and he was even known as "the number one person below the Saint in the Yan Yan Continent"!

With no Saints around, the Yan Yan Continent was the Cloud Master's world!

What truly shocked Lü Qing, the Hundred Mile God Emperor, and the Ghost Cry God Emperor was—Yun Ning actually excitedly called Xu Ming "Master"!

Didn't this mean that Xu Ming's status was, to some extent, on par with the Cloud Master!

However, was the shock only limited to this?

No!

Before the crowd could recover from the shock, another shocking scene appeared!

Moro God Emperor respectfully walked up to Xu Ming, slightly bowing and calling out: "Senior Xu Ming!"

Xu Ming… Senior?

The scene suddenly fell silent, with only heavy breathing remaining.

The meaning of the word "Senior" could be light or heavy; it mainly depended on who said it!—And who was the Moro God Emperor? He was the highest person in charge of the Time-Space Temple within the Scarlet Flame Prefecture, possessing the strength of a peak God Emperor; the weight of being called "Senior" by the Moro God Emperor was unimaginable!

Therefore, the Moro God Emperor's "Senior" was even more shocking than Yun Ning's "Master"! Even… it even shocked Xu Ming.

"Uh… who are you?" Xu Ming obviously didn't recognize the Moro God Emperor, but he could feel that the Moro God Emperor's strength was extraordinary!

Although the Moro God Emperor saw that Xu Ming's cultivation was only at the fourth grade of Silver Moon, he didn't dare to really treat Xu Ming as a Silver Moon level cultivator—the Moro God Emperor thought that Xu Ming's strength was too strong, so he couldn't see Xu Ming's true cultivation.

Therefore, upon seeing "Senior Xu Ming" ask a question, Moro hurriedly said: "I am on equal footing with Yun Ning; Senior is Yun Ning's master, so I should naturally call you Senior!"

"Oh…" Xu Ming was still stunned.

The scene suddenly fell into an awkward situation, as if everyone suddenly didn't know what to do.

The Hundred Mile God Emperor and the Scarlet Flame Governor had originally united to deal with the Yan Yan God Emperor; but the current situation made them really feel caught between a rock and a hard place!

Advance?—The Moro God Emperor was not to be trifled with, and Yun Ning's identity was not a joke! If they really fought, the Scarlet Flame Governor's side had no confidence in gaining any advantage.

Retreat?—That would be ridiculous! Not only would the Scarlet Flame Governor's face have nowhere to go, but it was also not easy to trick the Yan Yan God Emperor here with a banquet; it wouldn't be so easy to trick the Yan Yan God Emperor over next time!

Moreover… in the current situation, it seemed that the decision to advance or retreat was not up to the Scarlet Flame Governor's side!

"Master!" Yun Ning said with incomparable diligence, "I just saw someone trying to attack you, what's going on?"

Before Xu Ming could speak, Yue Xin quickly said: "Let me tell you, let me tell you!—Hong Xiao, the general of their Scarlet Flame Prefecture, coveted Xu Ming's wealth and was taught a lesson by Xu Ming; now, this Scarlet Flame Governor is biting back, falsely accusing Xu Ming of being tyrannical in the Scarlet Flame Prefecture, and now he wants to attack us!"

At the moment when the conflict broke out, Xu Ming had already transmitted the beginning and end of the matter to Lü Qing and Yue Xin. Now that Yun Ning asked, Yue Xin of course couldn't help but say it.

"Biting back?" The Scarlet Flame Governor almost exploded with anger when he heard these four words—to actually use the word "bite" to describe him, what did he take the Scarlet Flame Governor for?

A dog?

The Moro God Emperor's powerful aura directly pressed towards the Scarlet Flame Governor: "Why don't you quickly bring that Hong Xiao out to confess his sins?"

Usually, whether it is a Lower God City, a Middle God City, an Upper God City, or even a Prefecture City, the City Lord should be the strongest, and the controllers of the Time-Space Temple, the Void Sky Realm, and other forces are slightly inferior; but in the Scarlet Flame Prefecture, it is not the case—the Time-Space Branch Hall Master "Moro God Emperor" is the number one expert in the Scarlet Flame Prefecture City! Even the Scarlet Flame Governor is slightly inferior to him!

Therefore, seeing the Moro God Emperor get angry, the Scarlet Flame Governor's face also changed, and he shouted: "Bold Hong Xiao, why don't you stand up immediately and explain the whole story clearly!!"

Since Yun Ning and the Moro God Emperor appeared, General Hong Xiao had been in a state of bewilderment throughout the whole process; of course, he could also see that Xu Ming's identity seemed to be very awesome! Even more awesome than the Yan Yan God Emperor!

Trembling with fear, General Hong Xiao stood up and told the whole story of the conflict that happened between him and Xu Ming in Scarlet Flame Square that day.

Of course, the Scarlet Flame Governor had already known that the truth of the matter was like this; but before, he wanted to use this matter as an excuse to deal with Lü Qing and Xu Ming, forcing Lü Qing to cede Scorching Heaven Peak.

But now, the Scarlet Flame Governor had to pretend to have just learned the truth, putting on a shocked expression: "What!? Hong Xiao, the truth of the matter is actually like this!? You actually did such a thing and even dared to be the first to accuse! ?"

"Governor, I…" General Hong Xiao wanted to open his mouth to defend himself.

"No need to say anymore!—Your sins are heinous, and you almost made me neglect a distinguished guest, you really deserve to die!!" As he said that, the Scarlet Flame Governor directly waved his hand and killed General Hong Xiao with one palm!—Faced with this situation, the Scarlet Flame Governor very decisively pushed Hong Xiao out to be a scapegoat; he didn't even give him a chance to defend himself!

I got an IV drip today and slept for a while, I'm much better. Thank you for your concern, brothers.
