Chapter 729: The Judgment Delegation

By Sanjiu Yinyu

Master emotionlessly raised his hand and made a hooking motion in the void, and a playing card landed on his fingertips.

On the card was a figure in a red opera robe, his face indistinct. He stood in the center of a stage with outstretched arms, surrounded by a flurry of playing cards scattering everywhere, like a grand opening under dazzling lights.

This was a red Joker.

The moment he saw this card, Jian Changsheng's expression froze instantly.

He stood there for more than ten seconds, then looked at the opera-robed youth incredulously and stammered:

"Kid brother... no... M-Mr. President... No, boss? Not even that... What... Red... Red King! Senior Red King..." Jian Changsheng stammered, his brain seemingly short-circuited. He didn't even know what he was saying.

"Please let me explain... I didn't mean it like that..."

Jian Changsheng was almost in tears.

As a newcomer to the Twilight Society, it was his first time meeting the organization's leader, and he had called him a "little brat" right to his face... If this got out, Heart Nine would mock him for life.

Jian Changsheng now came to his senses. This was the Gray Zone, and Chen Ling clearly hadn't fully recovered from his "World Ender" state. At the same time, the only one who could contend with the "World Ender" here was likely the Red King.

"Little Jian, was it?" Master waved his hand, seemingly not bothered by the matter.

"Go drag that flat cart over here and follow me."

"...Yes! Senior Red King!"

Without a word, Jian Changsheng walked towards the abandoned flat cart in the distance. Along the way, a terrifying murderous intent locked onto him – it was "Chen Ling." However, as Master's intimidating gaze fell upon him, "Chen Ling" gritted his teeth for a long time before letting out a cold snort and refraining from attacking Jian Changsheng.

This brief exchange of intimidating auras in just a few seconds had made Jian Changsheng break out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know where he had found the courage to attack the "World Ender" under such immense pressure. He only knew that his heart had been filled with anger at the time, something had surged from deep within him, and then his fist had unconsciously struck.

"You just wait," "Chen Ling" said coldly as Jian Changsheng dragged the flat cart past. "I'll make you pay."

"Senior Red King, he's threatening me!" Jian Changsheng immediately turned his head and shouted.

"...Both of you, calm down."

Master watched the resentful "World Ender" calamity and the timid Bing Shendao youth. After glaring at each other fiercely, they separated and followed behind him... He sighed helplessly.

As Master walked along the black ground, as if remembering something, he conjured a strangely shaped radio from a disc in his sleeve.

Master pressed the radio's switch:

"Welcome to 'Your Moon, My Heart,' I am..."

"Last time, we talked about Lin Qiye, the seventh commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Nightwatchmen, who pointed his sword at the mist on Mount Jiuhua's peak, intending to slay heavenly gods with a mortal blade..."

"High-quality ingredients often only require simple cooking. Let's welcome today's special guest, Zhao Qixue, to share her unique experiences and the niche 'Cuisine Way'..."

"Where did this signal take me..." Master muttered, then adjusted the channel again and slapped the radio's surface hard with his hand. A crackling sound then came from it:

"Welcome to today's 'South China Sea Evening News.'"

"According to the latest news, the high-level authorities of the Five Great Realms have united. Two hours ago, they established the 'Supreme Human Judgment Tribunal.' After deliberation, they ultimately charged and passed judgment on Lou Yu, the Limitless Monarch, one of the original Nine Human Lords, under the charges of war crimes and realm extermination.

However, as of now, the Limitless Realm remains completely cut off from external contact. We have been unable to reach any civilian or official organizations within it, and the living conditions of the common populace in the Limitless Realm remain unknown... The Limitless Monarch has not issued any response to this.

It is speculated that the Limitless Monarch, Lou Yu, is highly likely to be unconscious or incapacitated following the defeat in the realm war...

To this end, the Five Great Realms have dispatched a Judgment Delegation to traverse the Gray Zone, with an estimated arrival time in the Limitless Realm within half a day.

The current interim spokesperson for the Supreme Human Judgment Tribunal stated that the delegation's primary duty is to evacuate ordinary civilians from the Limitless Realm, conducting large-scale civilian withdrawal if necessary, prioritizing the protection of civilian lives. Secondly, they will assess the life status of the war criminal, Limitless Monarch Lou Yu. Depending on the situation, Lou Yu may be brought back to the Judgment Tribunal, or executed on the spot if deemed necessary.

For frontline battle reports, 'South China Sea Evening News' will continue to bring you coverage..."

Upon hearing this, Master's eyebrows subtly rose...

"A Judgment Delegation, huh... Interesting."

In the Gray Zone, on the other side.

A team of nearly a hundred people moved slowly across the dark ground.

From a high-altitude perspective, these individuals appeared as small as ants in the barren Gray Zone. Their speed seemed slow, but a closer look revealed that each of them was practically gliding close to the ground, carrying various supplies, and traversing ravines and hills... like a group of elite, formidable generals marching through an alien world.

Since the turmoil in the Limitless Realm, all nearby realm train tracks had been severed. The Five Great Realms, however, were separated from the Limitless Realm by thousands of kilometers of Gray Zone, even passing through the territory of a World Ender calamity.

A team of nearly a hundred people traversing almost a thousand kilometers through the Gray Zone was virtually unprecedented in human history over the past decade...

"How much farther are we from the Limitless Realm?"

Among the group, a black-clad figure wiped sweat from their brow and couldn't help but ask.

"At our current speed, it will probably take another half a day to get there..."

"Still that long?"

"Come on, this is already fast. Even a realm train takes at least a day to cross these two realms... We're relying purely on physical stamina, and our speed is almost on par with a realm train."

"Actually, we could go even faster, but dealing with the calamities that pursue us along the way is too time-consuming."

"Traveling through the Gray Zone is still too dangerous... Not to mention the human body's desensitization here, just the endless stream of calamities is enough to make one's scalp tingle. If it weren't for a strict order from above, I wouldn't have come even if you killed me."

"With those few in our group, as long as the World Ender doesn't appear, almost no calamity can stop us, right?"

"Especially our team leader for this mission, the red-haired Judgment Agent... she's truly formidable. Killing even eighth-tier calamities is effortless for her."

"That one is rumored to be a survivor from the extreme northern ice, the peak of eighth-tier combat power, the world's first female Asura... In a life-or-death battle, she's capable of contending with demigod-level beings." Everyone's gaze turned to the very front of the team, their eyes filled with admiration and envy.

At the very front of the Judgment Delegation, a figure swept across the ground like the wind, her black enforcer's long robe flapping loudly in the breeze.

Her hair appeared to be deep red, but in the Gray Zone, it was dark as an abyss. She wore a neat white shirt with a black tie, and a wide enforcer's trench coat over it, resembling a flickering flame of killing intent in the Gray Zone.

As she ran, she raised her hand and lightly gripped the bottle necklace that fluttered in the wind around her neck.

Her gaze was incredibly resolute.

The former Chief Enforcer of Aurora City, the Asura Leader, Hong Xiu.
