Chapter 1239: The Kings Gather

Above the sky outside Abyss City, behind Li Li Jingzhe, four figures pierced through the void; the one leading them was none other than the Dragon Blood Lineage Head, Li Li Tianji.

The other three were the Dragon Scale Lineage Head Li Li Qingying, the Dragon Bone Lineage Head Li Li Xuanwu, and the Dragon Horn Lineage Head Li Li Jinjiao.

The commotion Li Li Jingzhe caused here was too great, attracting the attention of numerous King-level experts across the Outer Shenzhou; now that a King from the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage had descended, their Li Li Tianwang Lineage naturally had to stand behind Li Li Jingzhe, no matter what.

After all, regardless of how the five lineages competed in daily life, they must now present a united front against outsiders.

After the four lineage heads appeared, they all looked at Li Li Jingzhe with somewhat complex expressions.

"Lineage Head Li Jingzhe, you hid yourself too deeply; unknowingly, you have already touched upon the Three-Crowned King." The Dragon Blood Lineage Head Li Li Tianji said slowly.

His expression was especially complex; among the Kings of the Li Li Tianwang Lineage, he had originally been the first to step into the Two-Crowned King realm, and regarding foundation and depth, he had always been the most solid, so everyone believed he would likely be the first to reach the Three-Crowned King.

But who could have expected that just as he was still climbing toward the Three-Crowned King, Li Li Jingzhe, the Dragon Tooth Lineage Head who had remained low-key in the five lineages for so long, would take the lead and touch upon the Three-Crowned King.

Li Li Jingzhe said calmly, "I have been in seclusion for many years and gained some insights; moreover, with your years of accumulation, you should be close as well."

Li Li Tianji shook his head, said no more on the matter, and turned to look at Qin Jiujie and others above Abyss City, saying, "Palace Master Qin Jiujie, this was merely a sparring match; is it necessary to make such a grand display? You've deployed the Black Water Transformation Array, the Black Water Guards, and even summoned the Kings of the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage; with such a commotion, those who don't know the truth might think the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage is about to launch a war."

Qin Jiujie's face darkened, and he said, "You should probably ask your Dragon Tooth Lineage Head about that!"

"Today, he attacked Abyss City without cause, causing such turmoil; if the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage does not retaliate, won't outsiders look down on us?"

Li Li Tianji smiled and said, "Palace Master Qin Jiujie speaks too heavily; this was merely Lineage Head Li Jingzhe wishing to spar with you, filled with friendly intent, with no provocation whatsoever."

These words made many experts within the city look strange; this Dragon Blood Lineage Head was too skilled at smoothing things over; with things fought to this extent, how could it still be a friendly sparring match?

Who would believe such nonsense!

Qin Jiujie said coldly, "Regarding today's matter, your Li Li Tianwang Lineage must provide an explanation; otherwise, the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage will not let this go!"

Li Li Tianji sighed lightly and said, "If you truly demand an explanation, then we five lineage heads can only stay here and see this through to the end."

His words were kind, but his attitude was extremely firm.

Because Li Li Tianji also understood that no matter what, the Li Li Tianwang Lineage could not sit idly by while the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage besieged Li Li Jingzhe, so he had to make his stance clear.

Even if the consequence was to go to war with the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage.

Li Li Jingzhe is a King of the Li Li Tianwang Lineage, of extraordinary status; no matter how big a mess he makes, the Li Li Tianwang Lineage must protect him with all its might.

In Qin Jiujie's pupils, thunderstorms seemed to flash, and the heavenly and earthly energy within tens of thousands of li became violently turbulent with his emotions.

Behind him, the Kings of the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage also had dark expressions, their eyes flickering as they clearly pondered how to handle today's matter.

"Haha, Palace Master Qin Jiujie, the Li Li Tianwang Lineage is being aggressive and bullying; if you ask me, why don't our two lineages join hands and see if the Li Li Tianwang Lineage is truly so tough!" Just then, a hostile booming laugh suddenly came from the void.

Countless gazes turned there, and they saw a light-shadow appear in the void; it was a man sitting on the back of a giant tiger.

The man wore a bright golden robe, exuding nobility.

Someone whispered in surprise, "That is the Divine Tiger King of the Zhao Li Tianwang Lineage!"

Divine Tiger King Zhao Zong!

However, others dared not speak the name of a King directly.

The Zhao Li Tianwang Lineage had also intervened in today's matter.

Li Li Jingzhe gazed at that energy projection and said faintly, "Zhao Zong, why do you not dare to descend with your true body?"

The man in the golden robe sitting on the giant tiger snorted but did not answer; of course, he did not want to descend with his true body, since he was only a One-Crowned King and was now far behind Li Li Jingzhe; if they fought alone, he would certainly not be his match.

"Everyone, this place is the Boundary River Domain; the Boundary River hangs here, and countless eyes are watching within it, including some Alien Kings; if you fight fiercely here, you will likely fulfill their wishes, and when the Boundary River Domain barrier is destroyed, the entire Outer Shenzhou will welcome a massive invasion by the Aliens." Just then, a powerful voice rang out across the heavens and earth.

They saw a huge white elephant, stepping with earth-shaking strides, burst through the void; atop the white elephant sat a withered, thin old man fishing.

A fish basket hung at the old man's waist, and inside it, a seven-colored fish seemed to be swimming.

"White Elephant King, Zhu Yuan?" Seeing this person, Zhao Zong narrowed his eyes slightly; this one was precisely the King from the Zhu Li Tianwang Lineage.

Within Abyss City, countless experts secretly sighed; today was truly an eye-opening experience; the Kings of the Four Heavenly Kings Lineages, who in the past were like divine dragons appearing only with their heads and never their tails, had all appeared one by one.

However, with the appearance of these Kings from the various Heavenly Kings Lineages, the thunder surging in Qin Jiujie's eyes gradually extinguished; after a moment, his expression returned to normal.

Clearly, he had already calmed his emotions.

"Li Li Jingzhe, you may leave; Abyss City does not welcome you." He spoke faintly.

Upon hearing these words, disappointment immediately flashed in Zhao Zong's eyes; clearly, Qin Jiujie had suppressed his anger and did not push the grudge with the Li Li Tianwang Lineage any deeper.

With today's matter, as Qin Jiujie forcibly swallowed this grievance, it was almost considered over.

The Kings of the Li Li Tianwang Lineage had all arrived, and they would not let Li Li Jingzhe continue to cause trouble.

Li Li Tianji also showed a gentle smile at this moment and said, "This time was a misunderstanding; in the future, if Palace Master Qin Jiujie has time, please come to our Dragon Blood Lineage; at that time, our Dragon Blood Lineage will certainly treat you well."

Qin Jiujie remained expressionless and did not respond.

Li Li Tianji did not mind and turned to Li Li Jingzhe, saying, "Lineage Head Li Jingzhe, isn't today's matter enough?"

Li Li Jingzhe put away his bamboo staff and nodded casually.

Li Li Tianji sighed; this time, the Longtian Ridge area was still under Li Li Jingzhe's guard, while they had only projected themselves here and would soon dissipate and withdraw, so he hoped Li Li Jingzhe would not continue to stir up any more commotion afterward.

Afterwards, the five Kings of the Li Li Tianwang Lineage turned and vanished.

Seeing there was no more show to watch, Zhao Zong left in disappointment.

The White Elephant King from the Zhu Li Tianwang Lineage nodded slightly toward Qin Jiujie and his side, and the white elephant burst through the void and vanished.

A collision that shook heaven and earth ended rather anticlimactically, like a tiger's head and a snake's tail.

But this made countless people in Abyss City secretly breathe a sigh of relief; finally, it was quiet.

In the sky, Qin Jiujie waved his hand, signaling the many experts to clean up the aftermath, then he looked coldly at the place where Li Li Jingzhe had disappeared.

He nodded to the several Kings of the Qin Li Tianwang Lineage, and the projections formed by them gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Qin Yi and Chu Qing hurriedly descended into the giant pit within the city; seeing Qin Qin Lian, whose half-body flesh and blood had been ground into white bones, they immediately rushed to touch and rescue her.

"Do not touch her; King-level power from Li Li Jingzhe remains within her body, constantly eroding her flesh and blood, preventing her from recovering; if you are affected, you will instantly turn into white bones." However, at this moment, Qin Jiujie's voice rang out, stopping them.

Qin Yi and Chu Qing immediately stopped their hands.

"Great Palace Master, please save my mother," Qin Yi pleaded.

Qin Jiujie nodded and said, "You may step back."

The two exchanged a glance, then swept out of the giant crater and waited not far away.

Qin Jiujie waved his hand and scattered out Lei Guang, which fell onto Qin Qin Lian's body, wearing away the King-level power remaining within her. This wearing away brought Qin Qin Lian tremendous agony, and that blood-and-flesh-blurred face instantly became utterly hideous.

After quite some time like this, Qin Qin Lian gradually recovered a little strength. She struggled to climb up, the flesh and blood on her body still falling off, looking utterly wretched.

"Great Palace Master."

Qin Qin Lian's eyes were full of fear and hatred. She said to Qin Jiujie, "That Li Jingzhue is already a Triple Crown of the Void. Are we really going to give up the Primal Seed?"

Qin Jiujie's gaze was indifferent. He was silent for several breaths, before a cold, eerie voice came.

"Triple Crown of the Void..."

"Truly an unexpected matter."

"However, in order to protect Li Luo, Li Jingzhue exposed his greatest trump card. From a certain perspective, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"This matter, I'm afraid, has only just begun."

"The Primal Seed — we will not give it up."
