Chapter 712: Li Li Rouyun

The sword light, sharp to the extreme, seemed to even shred the void itself. As the sword light descended, the golden dragon claw shattered along with it, transforming into a skyful of golden specks of light. This sudden turn of events caused Li Luo and the others to slightly change expression, because at this moment they sensed an extremely powerful resonance force fluctuation appearing from afar, and then their gazes shot toward that direction.

They saw, at the edge of the sky, a streak of sword light tearing through the air at a speed beyond description.

As it drew closer, they finally saw that the sword light seemed to be a long sword of azure rainbow, with a human figure riding the sword atop it, sword qi sweeping horizontally, filling the space between heaven and earth. That human figure seemed to be a woman; her features were beautiful, she wore a blue-green dress, her long hair was pinned up, revealing a snow-white, slender neck, her figure was delicate and graceful, carrying a rather mature charm, and what drew the most attention were her eyebrows,

her eyebrows slender as willow leaves, radiating a trace of sharp, piercing aura.

The moment this blue-green-clad woman appeared, it was as if the sound of sword-chanting rose and stirred continuously throughout this stretch of heaven and earth. Xi Chan, Duze Yan, and the others all wore solemn expressions as they gazed at the newcomer, because the oppressive aura brought by this blue-green-clad woman was no weaker than that of the mysterious man from earlier — clearly, this was yet another unfamiliar strong

practitioner!

This left them quite puzzled — why did all these unfamiliar foreign Marquis-level strong practitioners lately seem to enjoy running over to the Great Xia?

However, what allowed them to slightly relax was that this blue-green-clad woman had struck and broken Li Li Zhiqiu's attack. Although they didn't know exactly what her identity was, this was ultimately a good thing.

After all, judging from Li Li Zhiqiu's strike just now, he didn't seem to harbor much friendly intent.

Li Luo frowned as he gazed at the blue-green-clad woman, not letting down his guard just because the other party had lent a hand.

It was just that the other party's earlier words had been heard by him.

"Is she also part of the 'Li Li Tianwang's lineage'? And what is this Dragon Fang Branch?" Li Luo looked toward Niu Niu Biaobiao — among those present, Niu Niu Biaobiao should know more about Li Li Tianwang's lineage. Niu Niu Biaobiao stared at the blue-green-clad woman for a couple of glances, his expression seeming somewhat complicated, and said: "The vastness of Li Li Tianwang's lineage exceeds your imagination; it is not something any force you've encountered in the Great Xia can compare to. And the so-called 'Dragon Fang Branch

' is indeed just one branch within Li Li Tianwang's lineage."

"And your father Li Taixuan came from the Dragon Fang Branch. The blue-green-clad woman before us, I also know her... her name is Li Li Rouyun, also born of the Dragon Fang Branch. In terms of seniority, you might have to call her Aunt."

Li Luo was stunned upon hearing this: "Li Li Rouyun, Aunt..."

He looked at the blue-green-clad woman. The latter, like a female sword saint, radiated sword qi sharp enough to pierce through heaven and earth — such a bearing clearly marked her as a Marquis-level strong practitioner of astonishing power.

However, he was simply too unfamiliar with Li Li Tianwang's lineage, so he didn't feel much about this cheap Aunt, only frowning as he asked: "Why would someone from Li Li Tianwang's lineage suddenly come to the Great Xia?"

First there was Li Li Zhiqiu, and now another Li Li Rouyun — and judging by their demeanor, they were clearly coming for him. Niu Niu Biaobiao pondered for a moment, glanced at the black token in Li Luo's hand, and said: "I guess it might be related to this thing. You previously lent it to Pang Pang Qianyuan, and he used it — perhaps someone within Li Li Tianwang's lineage had... some kind of resonance, which is how they locked onto your location."

"But you don't need to worry too much. This should be something Li Taixuan anticipated; perhaps it's also one of the contingencies he left for you."

"After all, if you've truly reached the point of needing to use this token, it means you've encountered an enormous crisis. At that moment, using it to transmit a message to Li Li Tianwang's lineage, so they could dispatch strong practitioners to come and receive you, is the only way to save you."

Li Luo fell into thought. He glanced at the black token in his hand — this thing, was it called the Li Tianwang Token? It sounded imposing, and it didn't seem simple at all; otherwise Li Li Zhiqiu wouldn't have tried to trick it out of his hand. Just as his thoughts were turning, the blue-green-clad woman named Li Li Rouyun had already arrived riding her sword. Her cold, sharp-as-a-blade eyes turned toward Li Li Zhiqiu, and she said coldly: "Li Li Zhiqiu, what are you doing? You found the person first — why didn't you notify me?"

Li Li Zhiqiu's expression didn't change. He smiled faintly and said: "Forgot about it. But didn't you rush over here anyway?"

"I'm afraid it wasn't that you forgot — it's that you coveted the Li Tianwang Token and wanted to take it from a junior." Li Li Rouyun coldly laughed as she saw through his thoughts. Li Li Zhiqiu said unhurriedly: "The clan's rules state that the Li Tianwang Token rightfully goes to the capable. Li Taixuan left it to his own son, so naturally he should have considered that someone would covet it. And if his son can't hold onto the Li Tianwang

"I'm afraid it's not that you forgot, but that you coveted the Li Tianwang Token and wanted to take it from a junior." Li Rourun sneered, seeing through his thoughts. Li Li Zhiqiu said slowly: "The clan rules state that the Li Tianwang Token belongs to the capable. Li Taixuan left it to his own son, so naturally he should have considered that someone would covet it, and if his son couldn't keep the Li Tianwang

"The Li Tianwang Token was bestowed by the Old Ancestor because he appreciated Li Taixuan's talent. Li Li Zhiqiu, if you have that kind of ability, why not go earn the Old Ancestor's favor yourself?" Li Li Rouyun said.

Li Li Zhiqiu's expression stiffened, and he said somewhat displeased: "That's sophistry." "Li Li Zhiqiu, Li Taixuan is a person of our Dragon Fang Branch. His bloodline naturally belongs to our Dragon Fang Branch as well, so put away those petty schemes of yours. Bullying a junior is truly contemptible." Li Li Rouyun said coldly, and then

she paid no more attention to Li Li Zhiqiu, instead casting her gaze toward the crowd below.

Her gaze swept once, then came to rest on Li Luo. The youth was still covered in blood and grime, looking somewhat disheveled, but his face bore a few traces of Li Taixuan's likeness. Although his features still carried a touch of youthful greenness due to his age, they still revealed an extraordinary bearing. Most importantly

Her gaze swept once and then settled on Li Luo. The youth was still covered in bloodstains, looking somewhat disheveled, but his face bore a few traces of Li Taixuan's likeness. Though his features still carried a touch of youthful immaturity due to his age, they still revealed an extraordinary bearing—most importantly

Li Li Rouyun's sharp gaze softened at this moment. With a flicker of her figure, she appeared in front of Li Luo.

"What's your name?" A faint smile appeared on Li Li Rouyun's beautiful face as she tried hard to make herself seem a bit more approachable.

Gazing at the woman before him with her benevolent eyes, Li Luo hesitated for a moment, then still replied: "Li Luo."

"My name is Li Li Rouyun. I share the same lineage as your father Li Taixuan. In terms of seniority, I am your Aunt." Li Li Rouyun said softly. Li Luo's gaze flickered, but the impression Li Li Zhiqiu had left on him earlier was truly too poor, so although the woman before him was acting familiar, he still held an extra measure of guard. At the same time, his hand tightly gripped the Li Tianwang Token —

if the situation turned bad, today he would probably have no choice but to keep fighting for his life.

Li Li Rouyun clearly sensed Li Luo's wariness, and a trace of anger immediately flashed through her eyes — but this anger was not directed at Li Luo; it was because of Li Li Zhiqiu.

That bastard had tried to trick the Li Tianwang Token earlier, which was why this child was now on guard against even her. Her gaze swept over Li Luo. The latter looked somewhat listless at the moment, and because of some connection between their bloodlines, she could sense the depletion of Li Luo's own bloodline power — this should be from activating the Li Tianwang Token, right? And to force such

a child to employ such a life-risking method showed just how perilous a clash Li Luo had gone through earlier.

Li Li Rouyun's gaze grew even softer as she gently soothed him. "Child, I've arrived a bit late, but don't worry — since I'm here, I will absolutely not let you be bullied anymore."
