Chapter 714: Mission

When Vice Principal Suxin and Yu Yu Hongxi's figures transformed into rainbow light and descended from the sky, they saw the crowd gathered here. A look of surprise first flashed across their cheeks, then their gazes immediately shot toward the two strangers present.

Li Li Rouyun and Li Li Zhiqiu.

Because the pressure emanating from those two, though faint and indistinct, was exceptionally oppressive.

However, what gave them some peace of mind was that the two sides did not seem to have erupted into conflict, which indicated that these two unfamiliar Marquis-level powerhouses should not be considered enemies.

"Li Luo, where is Shen Shen Jinxiao?" Vice Principal Suxin surveyed the field and did not find any trace of Shen Shen Jinxiao, but judging from the residual energy fluctuations in the world here, it was clear an extremely fierce battle had broken out earlier.

"It seems we arrived a step too late." A hint of apology surfaced on Yu Yu Hongxi's ravishing face as she said, "I was intercepted by Zhu Zhu Qinghuo on my end. Although I wounded him and forced him back, he managed to delay me."

Li Luo first cupped his fists toward them in thanks, then with somewhat low spirits, briefly recounted what had happened earlier.

"What? Jiang Jiang Qinge burned the Light Heart?!"

Hearing the matter of Jiang Jiang Qinge, the expressions of Vice Principal Suxin and Yu Yu Hongxi both could not help but change. They hurriedly descended and came to Jiang Jiang Qinge's side, solemnly examining her.

"Jiang Qinge, you were too impulsive." Vice Principal Suxin said with some heartache. She was very clear about what consequences burning the Light Heart would bring. Jiang Jiang Qinge was the best seedling of their Holy Void Star Academy, and now that the Light Heart had been burned, her

very life would be hard to preserve. "What an exquisite seal. This has somewhat suppressed the burning state of the Light Heart. It should buy some time." Yu Yu Hongxi noticed at a glance the dragon-shaped seal surrounding the Light Heart. Such a seal, even

she could not perform. It must have been done by those two unfamiliar Marquis-level powerhouses.

"Vice Principal, Auntie Yu, you are well-informed and well-traveled. Do you know of any way to resolve the burning of this Light Heart?" Li Luo asked, his eyes full of hope as he looked at the two.

Vice Principal Suxin and Yu Yu Hongxi exchanged a glance, both falling silent. "This kind of energy heart can only be condensed by someone with extremely high talent. Once cultivated, it greatly benefits one's own cultivation and can be called a divine artifact for cultivation. But precisely because the energy heart is too pure, once it is burned,

it will erupt with terrifying power. To undo this state, I'm afraid even Principal Pang could not do it." Vice Principal Suxin said with a bitter smile. Yu Yu Hongxi also slowly shook her head. Although she headed the Great Xia branch of the Gold Dragon Treasure House and had seen countless rare treasures, she had never even seen this kind of ninth-grade Light Heart, let alone had any

idea how to resolve it after it was burned.

Li Luo's eyes instantly dimmed.

Although he had anticipated it, hearing their words still brought inevitable disappointment. "That damned Shen Shen Jinxiao, truly a scourge. It's also my fault for failing to detect his malicious intent all these years." Vice Principal Suxin was somewhat self-reproachful. In this upheaval of the academy, although the "Return-to-One Society" was the mastermind, Shen Shen Jinxiao also played a

significant "role." If not for this person lurking in the academy over the years, unknowingly spreading seeds of malice, many of the academy's Purple-Glare mentors would not have been controlled. …Now this beast has destroyed the academy and is still not satisfied, going so far as to harm Jiang Jiang Qinge to such a state.

Such a villainous bandit is infuriating to the extreme.

When Li Luo heard the name Shen Shen Jinxiao, there was instead no ripple in his eyes at all. This was not because he no longer had killing intent toward him, but because when hatred reaches such an extreme intensity, it no longer needs to be shown.

He now actually hoped Shen Shen Jinxiao would not die too quickly, otherwise in the future, where else would he pour out this killing fury?

Hoo. Li Luo took a deep breath, suppressing the restless emotions within. Thinking of such vicious words now was useless. He was still too weak. Not to mention a sixth-grade Marquis like Shen Shen Jinxiao, even a first-grade Marquis could

easily crush him without giving him any recourse.

This great upheaval made him understand even more the importance of strength.

Marquis!

At this moment, a boundless obsession arose for the first time in Li Luo's heart. He would step into the Marquis Realm at the fastest speed!

Only by reaching the Marquis Realm could he be considered to have the power to stand firm and protect himself in this world! Of course, there was an even more important matter: resolving the burning of Jiang Jiang Qinge's Light Heart. Otherwise, in three months, she would perish from the complete exhaustion of her vitality. This was something Li Luo was absolutely unwilling to see

happen.

Thoughts churning in his mind, Li Luo waved his hand to have Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing take care of Jiang Jiang Qinge, and ordered Yuan Qing and the others to reorganize the convoy, preparing to continue heading south first.

At this time, after some conversation, Vice Principal Suxin and Yu Yu Hongxi also learned that Li Li Rouyun and Li Li Zhiqiu both came from one of the Inner Shenzhou, the Tianyuan Shenzhou, and that they were from the "Li Li Tianwang's lineage." "I didn't expect Li Taixuan to actually be a person of the 'Li Li Tianwang's lineage.' No wonder he was so extraordinarily talented." Vice Principal Suxin was slightly moved. As the academy's vice principal, she naturally understood what a massive

force this so-called "Li Li Tianwang's lineage" was. It was absolutely not comparable to any force in the Eastern Region's Shenzhou.

Li Tianwang-level powerhouses were figures standing at the absolute pinnacle of this world, each one a contemporary overlord, an invincible existence that swept all before them.

Even their academy's Principal Pang had to remain respectful before a Li Tianwang-level powerhouse. Yu Yu Hongxi's gaze shifted slightly, but her expression remained fairly calm. After all, the foundations of their Gold Dragon Treasure House were also extraordinary. Speaking only of a single Great Xia branch of the Gold Dragon Treasure House, it naturally could not compare to the "Li Li Tianwang's lineage," but if

one spoke of the Gold Dragon Treasure House's world headquarters, its strength and foundations were in no way inferior to the former.

Moreover, she had long learned about Li Taixuan's identity through other channels. Li Li Rouyun was also quite polite toward Vice Principal Suxin and Yu Yu Hongxi, without any arrogance as a member of the Li Li Tianwang's lineage. After all, from a certain perspective, both the Holy Void Star Academy and the Great Xia branch of the Gold Dragon Treasure House had very large backgrounds.

Whether it was the Academy Alliance or the Gold Dragon Treasure House's world headquarters, they were massive forces whose foundations even surpassed those of the Li Li Tianwang's lineage.

But Li Li Zhiqiu was somewhat impatient about this and said indifferently, "Li Li Rouyun, stop dawdling. Hurry up and complete the mission. I don't want to stay in this Outer Shenzhou for too long."

"Since we've found this Li Luo, just take him back directly."

Hearing this, Li Luo frowned. He glanced at Li Li Zhiqiu with rather cold eyes, and in his heart he also noted this down. This Li Li Zhiqiu had clearly discovered his whereabouts long ago, but did not pass the information to Li Li Rouyun, and at the same time hid to the side and watched his battle with Shen Shen Jinxiao. If Li Li Zhiqiu had been able to act at that time, with

Li Li Zhiqiu's strength, he would certainly have been able to force Shen Shen Jinxiao back.

If that were the case, he would not have had to use a life-risking technique, and Jiang Jiang Qinge would not have had to burn the Light Heart.

So originally everything could have passed safely, but it changed because of this bastard's idle watching from the sidelines. Of course, Li Li Zhiqiu after all had no relationship with him, so if he truly wanted to stand by and watch, there was nothing to blame him for. But after this bastard appeared, he not only tried to cheat him of his Li Tianwang Token, he also struck and injured Jiang Jiang Qinge, making her situation worse.

This debt absolutely had to be recorded. Li Luo did not conceal his unfriendly gaze. Li Li Zhiqiu naturally noticed it, but the latter did not care at all, and instead smiled lightly, "What a grudge-holding kid. But it doesn't matter. When you have the ability, feel free to come find me."

This matter must be recorded. Li Luo's hostile gaze was not concealed, and Li Li Zhiqiu naturally noticed it, but he paid no mind, instead smiling faintly: "A vengeful little brat, but no matter—when you're strong enough, come find me."

"Mm, I will." Li Luo nodded, his expression calm.

"Li Li Zhiqiu, can you shut up? On this mission, I am the lead. If you don't like it, leave right now." Li Li Rouyun said with a slightly cold expression.

Li Li Zhiqiu let out a cold laugh, too lazy to say more. His figure turned and he directly vanished.

And Li Li Rouyun ignored him as well, her gaze turning to Li Luo as she pondered slightly. "Li Luo, the mission of my trip is indeed to bring you back to the Li Li Tianwang's lineage. This is also information passed down from your father Li Taixuan, so I hope you can return with me."

Li Li Rouyun ignored him, her gaze turning to Li Luo, pausing slightly. "Li Luo, my mission this time is indeed to bring you back to the Li Li Tianwang lineage; this is also the message passed down from your father, Li Taixuan. So I hope you will return with me."
