Chapter 1303: A Gathering of Mighty Experts

Accompanied by the violent surge of vast energy between heaven and earth, countless streaks of light came tearing through the sky from afar, with four groups of riders landing on a nearby mountaintop at the very front, their momentum shocking.

Such pomp and presence was in no way inferior to Li Li Tianwang's faction.

Looking across the Outer Shenzhou, those who possessed such foundation, apart from the other three Li Tianwang factions, naturally had no one else.

Li Luo's gaze first swept toward the Qin Li Tianwang faction. Among the many figures there, he spotted Qin Yi's outstanding silhouette at first glance. Even though her strength was unremarkable in such an occasion, her bearing and temperament were quite eye-catching.

And as Li Luo swept his gaze over, Qin Yi also raised her eyes to look. The two exchanged a glance from afar, both giving a faint smile, a greeting of sorts.

In truth, there was not much enmity between the two of them. They had even joined forces against the Other in the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven. However, because of the grudges of the previous generation, they could never be close, and both even harbored deep wariness toward each other in their hearts.

But just as Li Luo's and Qin Yi's gazes met, beside the latter, a gaze filled with aggression came chasing after, wantonly sweeping over Li Luo at the same time.

Li Luo's gaze shifted slightly, and he saw standing beside Qin Yi a man in a blue robe. His face carried a hint of a feminine air, his eyes somewhat narrow and long, his long hair loose.

His gaze gave an uncomfortable feeling, like a venomous snake in the shadows, making one's hair stand on end.

From this person, Li Luo also sensed a faint pressure.

"Shen Yunge of the Beast-Subduing Spirit Palace." The thought turned in Li Luo's mind, and he immediately knew this person's identity.

Regarding these Li Tianwang-level forces from another Inner Shenzhou, Li Luo actually held a few measures of curiosity in his heart, because this was his first time encountering other experts who could likewise borrow the power of spirit beasts and merge it with themselves.

Over these years, the Sky Wolf had given him no small amount of aid at critical moments, helping him resolve crises, so he was very clear on just how powerful this trump card of combining forces with a spirit beast was.

This Shen Yunge was himself a Marquis-level expert, and with the added power of a spirit beast, his strength could not be underestimated.

And while Li Luo was thinking these thoughts, he sensed another cold gaze filled with pressure sweep over. That gaze carried a thick current of hatred. Without needing to think, who else could it be but that crazy woman Qin Qin Lian?

So he met that icy gaze with a warm, genial smile.

Seeing Li Luo's smile, Qin Qin Lian's expression grew even colder. She knew the boy was provoking her, so she turned her head toward Chu Qing and Shen Yunge and said, "If you run into that boy inside the Treasure Domain, go ahead and beat him to death. I want to see if that Li Jingjiao can bring himself to save face and avenge him."

After all, her seniority was higher than Li Luo's, so bullying the young had drawn Li Jingjiao's retaliation, and she could only grit her teeth and swallow it. But if Li Luo died at the hands of juniors like Chu Qing and Shen Yunge, then one could only blame Li Luo for being incompetent. If Li Jingjiao wanted revenge, then let him try whether their Qin Li Tianwang faction and the Beast-Subduing Spirit Palace feared him.

Chu Qing calmly agreed. He had no grudge with Li Luo either, but their factional stance destined them to be mortal enemies.

Shen Yunge's gaze flickered. Their Beast-Subduing Spirit Palace did indeed have extremely deep-seated grudges with Li Li Tianwang's faction. However, this place was, after all, the Outer Shenzhou, and that Three-Crown King Li Jingjiao was stationed in Tianlong City. If he really killed Li Luo here, wouldn't he be throwing himself into danger? Although he had the backing of the Beast-Subduing Spirit Palace, the wrath of a Three-Crown King was not so easy to bear.

If the other party truly wanted to cut him down first to avenge his grandson, could Qin Jiujie possibly stop him? In Li Jingjiao's eyes, his strength was not much greater than an ant's.

So Shen Yunge felt that if the chance arose, crippling this Li Luo would be acceptable, but as for his life, it was best left to the people of the Qin Li Tianwang faction to collect.

Of course, with Qin Qin Lian saying this now, he still had to give her some face. After all, over this period, he had grown increasingly smitten with Qin Yi, repeatedly sending out signals of pursuit, only to have them all deflected by her, which left him feeling quite frustrated.

Shen Yunge understood that Qin Yi was impervious to his advances, and to make a breakthrough, he would probably have to find a way through Qin Qin Lian.

So at this moment, Shen Yunge also smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "If the chance arises, I will certainly teach that boy a lesson for Auntie Qin."

Li Luo in the distance had already shifted his gaze, casting it toward the very front of the Qin Li Tianwang faction's ranks. There stood a middle-aged man with a head of silver hair, hands clasped behind his back, his bearing extraordinary.

"Qin Baiyan, the strongest Marquis Realm expert of the Qin Li Tianwang faction. His seniority is quite old, and he has lingered at the Eighth-Grade Marquis stage for many years, suspected to have touched the threshold of the Ninth-Grade Marquis." A piece of intelligence flashed through Li Luo's mind. This Qin Baiyan held a renowned reputation across the Outer Shenzhou, counted among the strongest below the King level. For this Boundary River Treasure Domain, the Qin Li Tianwang faction had also sent him out.

However, such top experts were not what he should be considering; they should be left to Li Li Jiluo and Li Li Qingpeng to handle.

Then Li Luo's gaze continued sweeping toward the ranks of the other two Li Tianwang factions, all of them crowded with experts, their lineups lavish.

Finally, he cast his gaze toward another group of ranks. Their lineup was no inferior to the four Li Tianwang factions, and among them, he spotted Lv Shuanglu.

That's right, this group belonged to the Golden Dragon Treasure House.

The Golden Dragon Treasure House was clearly also going to participate in this Treasure Domain expedition, after all, this was a rare opportunity. However, their way of doing things was rather unique. Other forces went in to seize treasures, while they chose to go in to seek out people and buy treasures.

After all, Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures sometimes needed to match one's own affinity to perform at their best, so they would collect Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures that did not suit their owners from other people, and then upon returning, distribute them to various Golden Dragon Treasure House branches for auction. The price difference naturally amounted to a very large profit.

The reputation of the Golden Dragon Treasure House was second to none across the various Shenzhous, so even many highly wary loose cultivators were willing to do business with them.

And this reputation undoubtedly brought the Golden Dragon Treasure House an immensely vast fortune.

Within the Golden Dragon Treasure House's ranks, Lv Shuanglu also sensed Li Luo's gaze. She raised her head and flashed him a charming smile, then suddenly extended her slender finger, pointing beside her.

Li Luo followed her gaze and saw a youth with a tall, sturdy build and bronze-colored skin standing there. His face was handsome and resolute, his eyes giving a feeling of extreme stubbornness. On his back, he carried a black iron staff.

He stood there, an aura of sharp, oppressive pressure radiating from him.

This person's eyes had originally been somewhat unfocused, as if he had been spacing out. But with Lv Shuanglu's movement, he also sensed it and raised his head, his gaze meeting Li Luo's.

Then his unfocused gaze instantly sharpened and grew serious, meeting Li Luo's gaze with a scrutinizing look at the same time.

At this moment, Li Luo also knew his identity.

Golden Dragon Mountain, Zhang Cuicheng.

The top heavenly pride who, it was said, might forge a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform with his third Marquis Platform.

The other party had come out from Golden Dragon Mountain this time because of Lv Qing'er.

Was this also aimed at him?

Li Luo slowly withdrew his gaze. This Treasure Domain expedition truly had powerful enemies lurking all around.

Boom!

And just as more and more figures came tearing through the sky, landing outside the Boundary River Treasure Domain, a sudden roar came from deep within the Boundary River Treasure Domain. It was the last of the Boundary River water being sucked up into the Sky Boundary River.

After the roar, the interior of the Boundary River Treasure Domain fell into an eerie deathly silence. Faintly, it seemed as if countless dark gazes were projecting out from the depths.

Yet no one present showed fear in their eyes; instead, their gazes grew even more fervent.

Because within the Treasure Domain, there were many Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures that could help them advance further. Under such temptation, the Other did not seem so terrifying anymore.

Li Li Qingpeng and Li Li Jiluo exchanged a glance, then both spoke.

"Prepare to enter the Treasure Domain."
