Chapter 1353: Qin Qin Lian Has Arrived

Watching the Sacred Spirit Treasure Tree that Jiang Jiang Qinge pushed over, a hint of burning eagerness surfaced in Li Luo's eyes. He knew this was something Jiang Jiang Qinge had worked hard to plan for him, so he didn't put on any false politeness and simply reached out to take it.

With this thing in hand, the Marquis Realm he had been longing for day and night was finally within reach.

Boom!

And just as Li Luo took the Sacred Spirit Treasure Tree, which had evolved into a top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasure, the enormous blood-red flower bud before them—having had its energy source cut off by them—began to emit a tremendous wailing sound.

Sonic booms reverberated, spreading continuously.

Under this wailing, the ever-growing body of the blood-red flower bud began to stall, while the actions of those numerous aberrants also became sluggish, because the flesh-and-blood rhizomes connected to their bodies were showing signs of withering one after another.

The flesh-and-blood giant that had been blocking Qin Beiming and the others was constantly shedding the bodies of aberrants, which fell like rain with rumbling thuds.

Judging by this, it was clear that after losing the two top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures as its energy source, the blood-red flower bud no longer had the strength to control these aberrants.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Had this battle ultimately ended with them laughing last?

Qin Beiming stood in midair. He looked at the flesh-and-blood giant, whose malevolent fluctuations were rapidly weakening, with a sense of relief, then glanced toward Li Luo and the other person deep at the flower bud's location and said with some admiration, "I didn't expect those two to actually succeed."

At first, probably not many people had held out hope that the two of them could break through Shen Yunge's obstruction. After all, Shen Yunge at that time was so strong that even Qin Beiming was wary.

Zhao Xiuyuan's gaze flickered slightly, and he suddenly said, "The ownership of those two top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures will need to be discussed properly."

Now that the situation seemed under control, greed naturally sprouted in his heart. After all, top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures were truly too tempting.

Li Zhihuo frowned and said, "You're being a bit too hasty."

Although Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge also made him feel threatened, when facing outsiders, Li Zhihuo still had to maintain his stance.

"Being able to resolve this crisis, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge contributed the most, so they naturally have the priority claim to the spoils."

Zhao Xiuyuan sneered, "Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge did contribute significantly, but does that mean the rest of us contributed nothing? Without us holding these things back, could they have obtained the two top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures?"

Hearing the two arguing, Qin Beiming frowned and said, "Zhao Xiuyuan, now is not the time to discuss these matters. Wait until everything has settled, then we'll talk it over."

Zhao Xiuyuan shrugged upon hearing this and said, "Just remember that. I'm only worried that Li Luo and his companion will simply treat those two top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures as their own."

Qin Beiming said nothing, but he also understood that the question of ownership of these two top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures would inevitably spark some conflicts and disputes afterward. After all, even he would be tempted by top-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures, let alone others.

But everything still had to wait until all matters had settled.

And while the people behind were beginning to harbor some thoughts now that the crisis had been resolved, Li Luo raised his head and stared at the still-enormous blood-red flower bud. From within that flower bud, a faintly unsettling aura was emanating.

"Let's destroy this thing completely first?"

Although the flower bud's growth had been stopped, this thing was still a massive hidden danger. If it wasn't destroyed soon, it would truly be hard to set one's mind at ease.

Jiang Jiang Qinge naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

However, just as the two were about to make their move, the little black snake coiled around Li Luo's wrist suddenly raised its body at this moment, its scales bristling all over.

Its snake pupils stared fixedly at the void not far away, and a Solemn voice emerged from its mouth.

"Li Luo, be careful! Something extremely terrifying is coming!"

Hearing this, Li Luo's gaze instantly sharpened.

"Never mind it, Jiang Jiang Qinge, strike first!"

But his hands did not pause because of this; instead, he urged her on.

Jiang Jiang Qinge understood his meaning. No matter what was coming, the most important thing right now was to destroy the blood-red flower bud. Immediately, the two unleashed their full power, erupting with phase force attacks that blasted directly toward the blood-red flower bud.

However, when the two phase force rainbows were still more than a dozen zhang away from the blood-red flower bud, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the void.

The vortex met the two phase force attacks. Only a faint puffing sound was heard, and then—just like stones sinking into a bottomless lake—the two attacks vanished instantly without stirring the slightest ripple.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's hearts sank at once.

They turned their heads and looked toward the void not far away, where ripples were emerging on the void, while a chilling aura of malevolence surged out like a tide.

A vortex of malevolence appeared in the void.

A terrifying aura swept out from that vortex like a storm, directly shrouding the entire Ghostly Domain.

Boom boom!

The void trembled violently.

The sudden incident also startled Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the others, who had just begun to feel relieved. They stared with extremely grim expressions toward the direction where the vortex of malevolence had appeared, their recently relaxed bodies tensing up once more.

"Such powerful malevolent fluctuations!" Qin Beiming's eyes filled with horror as he said.

In his perception, this malevolent fluctuation was probably comparable to an eighth-grade Marquis!

"Dammit, why does it never end!" Zhao Xiuyuan's face turned ashen, and he couldn't help cursing. These startle-after-startle turns of events were truly wearing on people's nerves.

Where did this terrifying True Demon pop out from?!

And shouldn't a True Demon of this level appear in those large Ghostly Domains deep within the Treasure Domain? Why had it come to the outer reaches of the Treasure Domain?

"What about our upper-grade Marquises?" Li Zhihuo gritted his teeth and said.

With so many upper-grade Marquises from their various factions having swarmed into the depths of the Treasure Domain earlier, why had none of them appeared now?

"They probably ran into trouble too."

Qin Beiming said bitterly. By now, how could he not understand that this Boundary River Treasure Domain was an extremely massive scheme, one that had even plotted against the four great Li Tianwang veins.

When the Boundary River Treasure Domain first opened, an incident had already occurred in the depths, luring away all the upper-grade Marquises from the various factions. Perhaps from that moment on, this scheme had already begun.

And under the gaze of numerous eyes, what seemed like footsteps came from within that vortex of malevolence.

Then everyone saw a figure slowly walk out from that vortex.

A few breaths later, the malevolent aura receded, and that figure clearly appeared within everyone's field of vision.

And when the crowd clearly saw the face of that figure, thick astonishment surged from their eyes.

Even Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were stunned.

The people of the Qin Li Tianwang vein were even more utterly incredulous. Especially Qin Yi—she stared blankly at the figure walking out from the vortex of malevolence. Her usually composed heart-lake was completely shattered, her beautiful face filled with horror and pallor.

At the same time, a trembling voice escaped from those red lips.

"M-Mother?"
