Third Realm.
The morning sun was rising, and the red glow of dawn was steaming up.
Pang Jian, still half-asleep, was gently awakened by Luo Hongyan. He asked in a daze, "Have we arrived at Cao's Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands?"
"Almost."
Luo Hongyan shook her head with a light chuckle.
Her bright eyes shone with surprise as she pointed behind Pang Jian and said, "We've encountered someone familiar."
Pang Jian, who didn't wake up on his own, still had a foggy mind. He stood up upon hearing her and looked in the direction her delicate hand was pointing.
A ship basking in the dawn's glow, its body also radiating an iridescent red light, was floating above the thick clouds and moving swiftly forward from behind them.
The ship, built with some kind of strange fine iron, appeared dazzling and miraculous, as if the red dawn's light was lifting it up as it soared through the sky.
Above the ship fluttered a giant black flag which bore the image of a majestic mountain radiating red light.
