Chapter 1609: The Current House Luolan Mansion Headquarters

Boom!

Within Daxia City, on a dark, mottled street, the aura of malice surged and roared as countless aberrations swarmed out from the surrounding buildings, charging fearlessly at Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge who had appeared on the street.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's golden eyes lifted slightly. Above her head, six sacred, resplendent ten-pillar golden platforms erupted with a torrential purifying flood. The flood swept across like quicksilver, and wherever it passed, countless aberrations were instantly purified into wisps of green smoke.

The piercing shrieks filling their ears instantly fell silent.

The two did not pause their advancing footsteps for even a moment.

After a few steps, the Celestial Dragon Dark-Yellow Halberd in Li Luo's hand suddenly erupted with a deafening dragon's roar, transforming directly into a dragon shadow that tore through the air. Accompanied by the mingling boom of air and the dragon's cry, a Grade-8 True Demon that had been hiding with extreme secrecy was pierced straight through by the halberd and pinned firmly to the ground.

The Celestial Dragon Dark-Yellow Halberd released a dense aura of slaughter. Under the scouring of this killing aura, the Grade-8 True Demon struggled desperately for several breaths before its body gradually rotted and crumbled.

Working together, wherever the two passed, no matter the grade of True Demon or aberration, all were slain cleanly and decisively.

Meanwhile, the experts of the various units behind them used the two as the arrowhead, continuously piercing through the defensive line formed by the countless aberrations within Daxia City.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's figures flashed and appeared atop a grand pavilion at the end of the street. Standing there, their gazes carried a trace of complicated emotion as they looked ahead.

Ahead, on the crisscrossing main streets, a complex of estate buildings appeared—tall walls, red tiles, and house after house intimately familiar to them came into view.

That place was... the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters.

It was also the only path leading to the Skull Head Summoning Platform deep within Daxia City.

"Sister Qing'e, we've finally come back," Li Luo turned his head, looking at the woman beside him, a smile surfacing on his handsome face.

Back then, when the catastrophe struck Daxia City and the Calamity erupted, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, who had just smoothly completed the Mansion Sacrifice, had no choice but to abandon the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters and lead the House Luolan Mansion forces out of Daxia City.

Despite the reluctance, they understood that with their strength at that time, they simply could not hold the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters.

But at that time, Li Luo had also said that one day, they would return.

When they returned, he would end this Calamity, and this House Luolan Mansion Headquarters, which carried so many memories, would shine with new brilliance.

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded gently. In her beautiful eyes, like a golden sunset, the buildings of the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters that held deep memories were reflected, and a soft ripple of light quietly spread. Back then, it was here that she and Li Luo joined hands to withstand immense pressure, and amid the wolves circling them, they smoothly completed the House Luolan Mansion Sacrifice.

Those so-called wolves, though insignificant in hindsight, had been formidable foes in their eyes back then.

Those experiences of overcoming difficulties together were the deepest memories in Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart.

"Heh heh, Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, seeing this place, does it bring back fond memories?"

Just as Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were sighing inwardly at seeing the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters again, a laugh that was out of place suddenly rang out at this moment.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's expressions gradually turned icy, and a bone-piercing killing intent flowed through their eyes as they looked toward the covered bridge at the very center of the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters.

The two sides of that covered bridge connected to Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's rooms. In the past, they had loved to gather on the covered bridge under the moonlight, sharing words of encouragement, while watching the myriad lights of Daxia City.

But at this moment, a figure stood there.

It was... Shen Shen Jinxiao.

He wore a dark-golden robe, with gray cracks visible on his skin, appearing fragile and eerie. At his brow, a dark fissure flickered in and out of sight, and deep within it, a beating black heart seemed visible.

Shen Shen Jinxiao stood with his hands behind his back, watching Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge with a smile, and pointed at the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters, saying, "After you left, this place became my cultivation ground. Cultivating here makes my heart feel very smooth, and my cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort."

Li Luo said indifferently, "Shen Shen Jinxiao, rest assured. This time, I will grind your flesh and blood away completely clean, and I won't give you any chance of resurrection."

Within the plain words lurked an indescribably intense killing intent.

Jiang Jiang Qinge couldn't even be bothered to speak. She simply slowly tightened her slender jade hand around the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella in her grip. The Sacred Phoenix profound patterns swimming on it gradually grew brighter at this moment, and a bone-piercing killing intent enveloped the entire area.

Today, no matter what, this Shen Shen Jinxiao must be reduced to ashes!

She could not accept this place, which bore so many traces and memories of herself and Li Luo, being tainted by someone like Shen Shen Jinxiao.

This filth could only be washed away with Shen Shen Jinxiao's life.

"Hahaha, I want to see too, just who exactly dies here today!"

Shen Shen Jinxiao laughed wildly at the sky, and then his face gradually turned savage. Were Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge not also the people he must kill? After so many years of enmity, they had almost become fated enemies.

His greatest regret now was being too cautious back then and letting these two grow.

Fortunately, there was still a chance to correct the mistake!

"If you want to kill me, let's see if you dare to come in!"

Shen Shen Jinxiao clenched his hand, and a pitch-black demonic banner appeared in his palm. With its appearance, a vast and mighty aura of malice surged out, forming a dome of demonic energy that enveloped the entire House Luolan Mansion Headquarters within it.

"Xiao Luo, Qing'e, watch out for an ambush!"

At this moment, Li Li Qingpeng came tearing through the air from the rear with his men, his voice a deep warning. He could feel a heavy oppressive force from Shen Shen Jinxiao; the opponent's strength was bound to be extremely terrifying.

But just as they moved, the surrounding void suddenly twisted, and a terrifying aura of malice roared out like a flood, surging toward Li Li Qingpeng to attack.

"A Grade-9 True Demon?!"

Sensing the fluctuations transmitted by the aura of malice, Li Li Qingpeng's expression hardened. He hastily halted his figure and urged his nine Marquis Platforms forward to meet it.

Boom boom!

As the two sides clashed, a deafening boom of energy instantly erupted.

However, with this, Li Li Qingpeng and his group were intercepted and held back.

Clearly, this was all part of the opponent's plan.

Li Luo glanced at the rear, but his eyes were quite calm. He knew that Shen Shen Jinxiao was trying to force him and Jiang Jiang Qinge into the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters for a decisive battle, because within the House Luolan Mansion, two extremely subtle yet powerful fluctuations were still hidden.

"Uncle, don't worry. Just take care of yourselves."

Li Luo sent a message, then looked at Jiang Jiang Qinge and said, "Sister Qing'e, let's go. The grudges of those years, let's settle them completely here today."

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, the two figures shot through the air and landed within the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters.

Seeing that the two had actually been so arrogant as to enter the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters, a sinister smile couldn't help but surface on Shen Shen Jinxiao's face. He said, "Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, you will sooner or later die from your own arrogance."

"You two, come out. Today, let us fulfill the duties of a host and properly entertain these two guests."

As Shen Shen Jinxiao's words fell, in two other directions of the House Luolan Mansion Headquarters, cold and terrifying energy surged like a tide, and two figures slowly walked out.

One of them had a towering, giant-like body, clad in golden armor, with scarlet pupils flowing with a frenzied aura of slaughter.

The other was a delicate, slender figure, holding a Green Bamboo Green Snake Staff—Li Li Lingjing, whose appearance was bewitchingly eerie.

The terrifying fluctuations emanating from both of them were no weaker than Shen Shen Jinxiao's, having reached the False King Realm.

Shen Shen Jinxiao held a pitch-black demonic banner in his hand, the smile on his face gradually turning savage.

"Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, I know that you two peerless sixth-rankers are very strong, but unfortunately..."

"There are three of us!"
