Chapter 369: The Fifth Pattern

When Li Luo opened his eyes again, a familiar scene came into view: it was the backyard plaza of the Great Xia Long Baoxing.

He sensed his own condition immediately, and then he saw that the two Resonance Palaces within his body were radiating light; inside the palaces, two Resonance Power seeds were floating unsteadily, surrounded by rings of Resonance Power, and at this moment, five Resonance Power patterns were clearly visible on the surface of the Resonance Power seeds.

Abundant Resonance Power surged out continuously, like a solar corona.

Upon seeing these five Resonance Power patterns, Li Luo was shocked.

This is... the Life Pattern Stage, the fifth pattern?!

His Resonance Power level had actually jumped directly from the third pattern of the Life Pattern Stage to the fifth pattern?!

He had originally thought that this Dao Gold infusion would at most raise his Resonance Power level by one grade, but he hadn't expected it to be a full two grades.

Could the effects of this Dao Gold infusion really be this powerful?

Li Luo was overjoyed; this two-grade increase could save him two or three months of cultivation, which was like sweet rain from heaven for him, as he was currently lacking time.

Moreover, not only had his own Resonance Power improved, he discovered that the severe injuries on his palms had also been completely healed, which made him click his tongue in wonder; this Golden Dragon Dojo was truly thoughtful, healing all your injuries while performing the infusion—it was worthy of being a faction that believed in "harmony brings wealth."

The injuries were healed?

Li Luo suddenly paused, and then his expression changed abruptly.

Boom!

And at that very instant, a powerful burst of Resonance Power erupted from behind him; that Resonance Power was permeated with the scent of blood—who else could it be but Lin Suo?!

Li Luo caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and saw Lin Suo's face twisted in a ferocious expression; at this moment, his figure was rushing directly toward Lu Qinger like a lightning bolt—clearly, he intended to take Lu Qinger hostage before anyone could recover their senses!

"You dog!"

Li Luo couldn't help but curse out loud; it was truly careless of him—he hadn't expected that the Golden Dragon Dojo would not only heal the injuries of the three of them, but even save the previously dying Lin Suo and restore him to perfect condition!

In such a short time, even he couldn't do anything in time.

Lu Qinger also discovered Lin Suo's movements at this moment, but compared to Li Luo's changing expression, her own appeared exceptionally calm; she didn't even adopt a defensive posture, merely staring coldly with her eyes at the rapidly approaching Lin Suo.

Bang!

And just at the moment Lin Suo was about to reach out and grab Lu Qinger, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky; driven by this pressure, the surrounding heaven and earth energy condensed like lightning, and like a mountain, it directly enveloped Lin Suo's body.

Lin Suo's body was pressed flat to the ground at that very moment, slamming heavily into the floor and creating a deep pit; a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, mixed with shattered internal organs.

His face was ferocious, and the skin on his body was cracking continuously at this moment.

Fresh blood flowed out, looking extremely terrifying.

Only then did Li Luo look up, and he saw Yu Hongxi standing outside the teleportation array with several high-level members of Long Baoxing; at this moment, Yu Hongxi's beautiful face held a cold expression as she stared at Lin Suo, who was wriggling like a worm on the ground—that terrifying sense of pressure was emanating from her body.

A Marquis-level expert.

Li Luo's gaze was solemn; this was the first time he had seen Yu Hongxi get angry and take action, and that pressure... was clearly that of a genuine Marquis-level expert, capable of drawing upon heaven and earth energy with a mere gesture to form terrifying power.

No wonder Lu Qinger didn't care about Lin Suo's desperate move; it turned out she had absolute trust in Yu Hongxi.

"Lin Suo? What are you doing?!"

At this moment, beside Yu Hongxi, Vice President Ning Que and other high-level members also exclaimed in astonishment, then sternly questioned him.

They hadn't reacted in time just now; after all, Lin Suo was considered one of their own at Long Baoxing, but Yu Hongxi had been more decisive—although she didn't understand what Lin Suo wanted to do, looking at his target, it was clearly aimed at Lu Qinger, and as a mother, she naturally suppressed Lin Suo without hesitation.

Regardless of whether Lin Suo had bad intentions, daring to attack Lu Qinger like that was an act of insolence; even if he were killed, he would deserve it.

Li Luo, Lu Qinger, Qin Zhulu, and the complex-looking Ning Zhao and Zhu Xuan walked out of the teleportation array at this time.

"Mother."

Lu Qinger walked toward Yu Hongxi first and said, "This Lin Suo must have been directed by someone; he was coming for me."

Afterward, she recounted everything that had happened in the Golden Dragon Dojo.

"Golden Dragon Qi?"

Upon hearing that Lu Qinger had obtained the Golden Dragon Qi, Yu Hongxi, Ning Que, and the other high-level members all revealed looks of shock, and when they learned that Lin Suo had actually destroyed Lu Qinger's Golden Dragon Qi, a chilling murderous intent immediately rose in Yu Hongxi's eyes.

"Ning Zhao, is what Qinger said true?" Vice President Ning Que asked hurriedly.

Ning Zhao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Father, the matter is indeed as she said... This Lin Suo harbored evil intentions, and even we were deceived by him; we originally intended to go and protect Qinger, but we didn't expect this beast to secretly attack her."

The high-level members of Long Baoxing, including Vice President Ning Que, immediately turned solemn, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation.

Lin Suo had hidden himself so well that such a method of concealment was definitely not something a mere Resonance Master could achieve, and having hidden for so many years, he must have had a scheme; what lay behind this was worth deep consideration.

Perhaps he had been waiting for this opportunity all along?

But why destroy Lu Qinger's Golden Dragon Qi?

Yu Hongxi was expressionless; she looked coldly at Lin Suo, who was being suppressed by the energy pressure until his whole body was shattered, and said indifferently, "Someone, take him to the 'Dragon Prison'; use any means necessary to make him spit out everything he knows. I want to know exactly who is directing him from behind the scenes."

On the plaza, over a dozen shadow-like figures appeared in response; black chains shot out from their sleeves, piercing directly into Lin Suo's flesh and binding his bones, and finally, these shadows dragged him into the air and quickly disappeared from sight.

From beginning to end, Lin Suo couldn't even let out a single scream.

Li Luo watched the direction in which he disappeared and sighed with some pity; goodbye, friend, it seems you won't be able to eat your farewell meal.

However, every debt has a debtor; I only brought you back to Great Xia, and the rest has nothing to do with me—if you have any grievances, go find Yu Hongxi.

While Li Luo was thinking this, he suddenly saw Yu Hongxi's gaze cast toward him, and his heart immediately turned cold; after all, he had clearly seen the cold and ruthless side of her earlier—once this person in charge of the Great Xia Long Baoxing got angry, she could truly make one wish for death.

However, while Li Luo was feeling uneasy, a gentle smile, the likes of which he had never seen before, appeared on Yu Hongxi's beautiful face, and that smile contained a sense of satisfaction.

"Li Luo, you did very well; you didn't disappoint me," she said slowly.

Facing Yu Hongxi's rare gentle voice and friendly smile, Li Luo was momentarily flattered, then asked cautiously, "The massive amount of gold for the Resonance Power bubbles—can I not pay it anymore?"
