Chapter 663: The End of the Great Battle

When Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e walked out of the underground palace, the Luolan Mansion headquarters was still in a state of fervor. Under Cai Wei's instructions, many people were clearing away the damaged buildings within the headquarters, and upon seeing Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, they all stopped and stood still.

"Greetings to the two Mansion Lords!"

Hearing this fresh title, Li Luo was slightly dazed for a moment.

"You defeated Pei Hao at the Mansion Festival; in name, you are now the true Mansion Lord of Luolan Mansion," Jiang Qing'e said with a faint smile from the side.

Li Luo also smiled. Whether he was the Mansion Lord or not, he didn't really care; after all, strictly speaking, it was no different from being the Young Mansion Lord before.

He looked around. Although the entire headquarters appeared extremely chaotic after the great battle tonight, the spirits of the Luolan Mansion members were higher than ever before. Confidence and pride seemed to have emerged on their faces once again.

Li Luo knew that this pride did not appear because of him.

It was brought about by the appearance of Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan.

The existence of two Marquis-realm powerhouses was the true foundation of Luolan Mansion's former glory and prominence.

Previously, Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan had not appeared for years, so rumors of their fall on the Marquis battlefield had spread. Many members of Luolan Mansion had even begun to believe it; otherwise, Pei Hao's rebellion would not have been able to win over so many hearts.

But now that the two had appeared as projected avatars, this rumor was shattered. Although this did not mean they would definitely be able to walk out of the Marquis battlefield safely, it at least left people with a glimmer of hope.

Especially since Dantai Lan had acted with such force earlier, repelling the Regent who held immense influence in the Great Xia; this strength was enough to make one's heart surge.

Although Li Luo's performance at the Mansion Festival was extremely stunning, when it came to influence, he clearly could not compare to a Marquis-realm powerhouse.

Even so, Li Luo felt quite relieved. After all, Pei Hao had been eliminated, and with the appearance and deterrence of his father and mother, the crisis of Luolan Mansion could be considered truly resolved. Even if the Regent still coveted Luolan Mansion in the future, he would have to restrain himself somewhat and would not dare to be too blatant. At the very least, before he was truly certain that his father and mother had fallen, he would not dare to make another move.

"Finally, I can practice in peace from now on."

Li Luo sighed. With the troubles of Luolan Mansion resolved, he could focus more of his energy on cultivation. After all, he only had four years of life left; he really dared not delay even a little.

At this moment, a figure drifted down and landed in front of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

With a burly physique and a face full of flesh, it was none other than Niu Biaobiao.

"Uncle Biao, are you alright?" Li Luo looked over and hurriedly stepped forward, asking with concern.

Niu Biaobiao smiled and shook his head. He glanced toward the direction of the underground palace and said, "They left?"

Jiang Qing'e nodded and said, "Uncle Biao should have gone in to meet Master and Mistress just now."

"Hah, they wouldn't dare see me, because they know I would definitely scold them until they were drenched in dog's blood. These two fellows ran off to enjoy themselves and left me here to watch the kid—is that something a human would do?" Niu Biaobiao said with dissatisfaction.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e chuckled. However, it was likely that Niu Biaobiao knew about the projected avatars left behind by his father and mother. After all, the underground palace had always been under his care, so the methods left behind by his father and mother certainly would not have been hidden from him.

"Uncle Biao, if you knew about the method they left behind earlier, you should have told me. You made me worry for so long," Li Luo complained.

Heaven knows how much effort and worry he had put into today's Mansion Festival over the past year.

"They didn't let me say anything. After all, for the two of you, this could be considered a trial, both for your cultivation and your state of mind," Niu Biaobiao laughed.

Li Luo opened his mouth, unable to refute this. Indeed, over this past year, if not for the factor of Pei Hao constantly drawing hatred, perhaps he and Jiang Qing'e would not have been so urgent. Moreover, although Pei Hao's rebellion brought many troubles to Luolan Mansion and even led to internal strife, from another perspective, this was perhaps a necessary detoxification for Luolan Mansion. Only after removing these poisonous hidden dangers would the future Luolan Mansion be more prosperous and united.
