"Red-Brow Fairy, you seem to harbor some prejudice against Zhou Buyu?" Ke Hei asked in surprise.
Zhou Buyu was hailed as the Azure Spirit Domain's foremost young sword immortal.
He was also the leader of Mad Sword.
He was said to be handsome and ethereal.
As gentle and refined as jade.
Countless women in the Mad Sword Dynasty adored him.
Ye Hongmei had been born in the Mad Sword Dynasty.
Even if she did not look upon him with favor.
She should at least have admired him somewhat.
Why was she so hostile toward him?
Xiao Chen was also rather surprised by Ye Hongmei's attitude toward Zhou Buyu.
Judging by her manner.
She held Zhou Buyu in considerable contempt and disdain.
For the leader of a battle regiment.
To be so slighted by a member of his own regiment.
Was exceedingly strange.
Seeing that Ye Hongmei remained silent.
And seemed unwilling to elaborate.
Xiao Chen and Ke Hei asked no further questions.
Draped in moonlight.
The three traveled through the starry night.
In the Azure Dragon Domain.
The Demon Domain and human lands closely intermingled.
Only small buffer zones lay between them.
Mostly villages.
Spirit fields.
And orchards.
Scarlet Thunder City was not far from the Seven Demon Sect.
Only a few dozen li away.
The three arrived in moments.
Soon.
An ancient, imposing city shimmering with crimson lightning runes appeared before them.
"Halt!"
"Who goes there?"
Two thunderous shouts instantly rang out from the brightly lit battlements.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two burly commanders in crimson armor leaped from the battlements dozens of meters high, torches in hand. They shattered the ground beneath their feet and surveyed Xiao Chen and his companions with icy expressions, their rough, powerful left hands having already settled unconsciously on the saber hilts at their waists.
