Chapter 1549: Return to the Li Li Tianwang Lineage

When Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge returned to the Ancient Academy of Tianyuan through the teleportation array, what surprised the two was that this ancient academy suddenly erupted with enormous commotion due to their appearance.

Wherever they passed, countless students swarmed over, and even some instructors within the academy bowed with clasped hands, their eyes filled with respect.

Many young students looked on with eyes full of admiration and infatuation.

Respectful titles like "Instructor Li Luo" and "Instructor Jiang Jiang Qinge" rose and fell like a tide, echoing throughout the entire academy.

Both were somewhat startled by this spectacle, after all, they had never enjoyed such honor in the past.

Facing the enthusiasm of the many students, they could not remain cold-faced; for a time, the spectacle made it nearly impossible for them to take a single step.

Fortunately, in the end, Vice Dean Qingman of the Ancient Academy of Tianyuan arrived upon hearing the news, and only then did she direct the instructors to disperse the many enthusiastic students.

"Your performance inside the Mirror Tower has spread throughout the many academies of the Academy Alliance; now, you are idols in the eyes of countless scholars," Vice Dean Qingman explained to the two.

?

"Inside the current Academy Alliance, no one is more prominent than the two of you."

Li Luo felt a mix of helplessness and amusement, but he did not pay it too much mind, instead asking, "Vice Dean Qingman, I wonder if my two elders are still in the academy?"

What he referred to was naturally Niu Niu Biaobiao and Li Li Rouyun; initially, it was these two who escorted him all the way to the academy, then stayed there waiting for his return.

Vice Dean Qingman shook her head and said, "Over half a year ago, they received a summons from the Li Li Tianwang lineage and immediately rushed back; after all, your seclusion and cultivation this time lasted far too long."

Li Luo nodded; calculating the trial time in the Mirror Tower plus the subsequent year-and-a-half of seclusion, he had essentially spent two years in the Mirror Tower; under such a long duration, it was naturally difficult for Niu Niu Biaobiao and Li Li Rouyun to wait indefinitely.

However, a summons came from the Li Li Tianwang lineage; does this not mean manpower is also tight?

"Before they left, they left a letter saying that if you return, you may send word back, and they will come to escort you again," Vice Dean Qingman looked at the two with her beautiful eyes, then sighed with a smile, "However, I feel that the two of you now should no longer need their escort."

As a Crown King, Vice Dean Qingman could naturally perceive the faintly visible phase power fluctuations within Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge; now, their strength had far surpassed Niu Niu Biaobiao and Li Li Rouyun.

Li Luo nodded slightly; sending a message was indeed unnecessary; with their current strength, as long as they did not encounter a King Realm expert, the entire Tianyuan Shenzhou would be at their mercy.

"Does Vice Dean Qingman know the current situation of the alien calamity in the Li Li Tianwang lineage?" Li Luo asked.

Vice Dean Qingman nodded slightly and said, "Since we are all situated in the Outer Shenzhou, we do know a little about the alien calamity situation in the Li Li Tianwang lineage."

"In these nearly two years, the alien tide there has erupted once every half year, subsequently expanding in all directions; naturally, this expansion targets primarily your Li Li Tianwang lineage and the Qin Li Tianwang lineage."

"Every eruption of the alien tide triggers a massive clash; fortunately, the Li Li Tianwang lineage and the Qin Li Tianwang lineage have deep foundations, barely holding the line, but some surrounding mid-to-small powers with insufficient strength have been wiped out by the alien tide."

"Calculating the time, I fear this period happens to be the stage of the alien tide's eruption."

Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly; the alien calamity erupting in the River of Worlds domain, in a sense, was more troublesome than the alien calamity in Great Xia; although several King Realm experts were stationed in their Li Li Tianwang lineage, the source of this alien calamity was the "Three-Pupil Profound Fetus Great Demon King," a existence comparable to a Li Tianwang, who had inscribed the "Li Tianwang Decree" in the raging black water.

Kings may not enter.

This resulted in neither the Li Li Tianwang lineage nor the Qin Li Tianwang lineage's King Realm experts being able to enter the range affected by the black water alien tide; with King Realm experts unable to enter, the source of this alien calamity would be very difficult to resolve completely.

If this continues for so long, it will cause enormous damage to the foundations of the Li Li Tianwang lineage and the Qin Li Tianwang lineage.

"In that case, we shall not linger any longer."

With time pressing, Li Luo had no intention of lingering further in the Ancient Academy of Tianyuan; after thanking Vice Dean Qingman for the information, he and Jiang Jiang Qinge transformed into light rainbows and broke through the sky to depart amidst the countless gazes of astonishment and admiration from the academy.

After Li Luo and the other left the Ancient Academy of Tianyuan, they sped at full force toward the direction of the Li Li Tianwang lineage; after passing through teleportation arrays one after another, they finally arrived at the territory of the Li Li Tianwang lineage seven days later.

They headed straight for Zhao Shenjiang City, after all, this area is currently the most important region for the Li Li Tianwang lineage; most of their power is projected here, and even Tai Tai Lan has been stationed here for a long time.

The two broke through the sky and sped forward.

They looked solemnly at the world ahead; they saw that amidst the continuous, treacherous mountain ranges, black rain swept across the heavens and earth, forming streams as vicious as giant black pythons; these streams constantly converged, finally becoming like black poison dragons ravaging the heavens and earth.

Countless twisted and bizarre alien creatures crawled out from within like a tide, heading in all directions.

Wherever they passed, they brought destruction and dead silence.

Countless life forces were swallowed.

Along this journey, the two even saw some cities and sect powers not belonging to the Li Li Tianwang lineage being completely submerged by the alien tide.

As they drew closer to the Zhao Shenjiang City defense line, the battles they saw became increasingly fierce.

Countless phase power lights lit up among the mountain ranges, condensing into long ribbons of light that collided with the black torrent; the sounds of slaughter, pain, and distorted alien cries intertwined, resembling the lament of the God of Death.

Li Luo saw many troops and experts belonging to the Li Li Tianwang lineage.

Even members of the Five Guards of the Heavenly Dragon were present.

They were dispersed into groups of a hundred, joining hands to slay the True Demon alien creatures.

However, the battle was too cruel; the endless surge of True Demon alien creatures brought enormous pressure to the extermination squads.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge swept over from high above, occasionally intervening to provide aid, but the front line was too long; they could only slightly alleviate the pressure in small areas.

Boom!

Suddenly, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge looked up toward the area deep within the pitch-black mountain forests; two extremely powerful evil intent fluctuations emanated from there; the intensity of this evil intent had indeed reached the level of an eighth-grade True Demon.

Moreover, there were many familiar phase power fluctuations there.
