Chapter 727: The Past of Father and Mother

"That branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage actually attached great importance to this marriage alliance, and it just so happened that within their clan there was a heaven-blessed daughter, whose status and talent were both outstanding and dazzling, so the two lineages hit it off immediately. This kind of powerful

alliance is a good thing for both sides." "This matter was mainly pushed forward by the Dragon Blood lineage; they are the Mountain-Holding lineage, wielding enormous power. Of course, the most important thing is that the Old Master actually didn't reject it either, because that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage truly valued this matter greatly, and toward that

heaven-blessed daughter, the Old Master was also quite satisfied."

"But unfortunately..."

Li Li Rouyun gave a bitter smile, looked at Li Luo, and said: "Your father, however, didn't like this. As for the reason, you should be able to guess — because at that time, when he was out training, he had already met your mother." "Your mother, this person... actually, in Outer Shenzhou, she can be considered an extremely special person. In the past she was unknown, and didn't come from any prestigious clan, but within just a few short years her fame rose sharply, even suppressing some of the top

talents cultivated by top forces. I think she must have had some other extraordinary encounter."

"Dantai Lan's talent, to be fair, she truly can be considered a monstrous figure."

"Born of ordinary origins, she ultimately suppressed the talents of many top forces. Speaking of which, she truly commands admiration." "Of course, perhaps precisely because of this, those top-force talents who had been suppressed or even defeated by her harbored much jealousy and resentment toward her, which led to them seeking trouble for her every now and then during those years, and then another

sensational incident would erupt." "After that, once a talent of the Dragon Blood lineage was also defeated by her. Perhaps the Dragon Blood lineage angered her at the time, so she let slip words like 'The talents of the Li Li Tianwang lineage are nothing special,' which still caused

quite a stir within the clan." "This matter grew bigger and bigger, and ultimately it forced out Li Taixuan. After all, he was the most outstanding among the younger generation of our clan at that time. Although the Dragon Blood lineage and our Dragon Fang lineage had many frictions, they were still one clan after all, and Dantai Lan's

words struck too broad a target, so he finally went out of the mountain to seek Dantai Lan."

"It was at that time that your father met your mother." Li Luo blinked. After hearing all this, his heart immediately rose with a thick sense of worship toward Dantai Lan — his old mother was really fierce. Without any proud background, she was able to suppress the talents that the top forces of Outer Shenzhou had poured resources into cultivating. This was simply the model of inspirational hot-bloodedness.

Although in the past at home, seeing his old father lacking his former vigor, he already knew his old mother's methods were formidable, now hearing those past events from Li Li Rouyun, he still couldn't help but inwardly praise his old mother's abilities once more.

"But toward Dantai Lan, actually many people within the clan were somewhat displeased. The Old Master was actually the same..."

"This isn't because they looked down on her ordinary origins, but because... she is slightly at odds with our clan." Li Li Rouyun said with a complicated expression.

"At odds?" Li Luo was a bit puzzled. What kind of bizarre reason is this?

"Do you know your mother's first resonance aspect?" Li Li Rouyun pointed out.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Old mother's first aspect is... the ninth-grade Golden-Winged Great Peng aspect?" Seeing Niu Niu Biaobiao beside him chuckle and say: "The Golden-Winged Great Peng is likewise a top-tier existence among the Spirit Beast clan, and it is a mortal enemy of the Dragon clan, often feeding on young dragons. The Li Li Tianwang lineage carries the aura of the Heavenly Dragon, and naturally takes on the habits of the Heavenly Dragon, so they would reject the Golden-Winged Great Peng from the very bones."

"Your mother happened to carry the Golden-Winged Great Peng aspect, which in the eyes of the Li Li Tianwang lineage would naturally be a bit off-putting."

Li Luo was caught between tears and laughter. This angle, he truly hadn't expected.

"Your father went out of the mountain to seek Dantai Lan, fought her a few times, and didn't gain much advantage, which only further boosted Dantai Lan's fame..." "Your father was also an unyielding person. He pestered Dantai Lan in fights for a long time, and though he didn't win many times, it seemed he slowly began to fall for her instead. In the end, he even started helping your mother beat back those talents from various factions who tried to cause trouble,

including people from our own clan who were also driven off by him." Li Li Rouyun gave a bitter smile.

Li Luo smacked his lips. His old father really was ruthless enough — this was outright defecting without hesitation. But with the influence of the Golden-Winged Great Peng aspect as an obstacle, his old father could still fall for his old mother — looks like this was true love.

"Anyway, at that time it caused a huge uproar, an absolute mess, and it was right at this moment that the marriage alliance matter arrived." "That heaven-blessed daughter from the other branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage actually wasn't opposed to the marriage alliance with Li Taixuan. After all, you should understand your father's charisma—his charm was considerable... But your father was extremely resistant to it. After that, to show

his stance, he directly left home and, at the same time, publicly courted Dantai Lan." "This made both lineages extremely furious. The head of that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage even came to the clan in person to demand accountability. The head of our Dragon Blood lineage was also very angry, and directly issued an order summoning the Old Master. That day was

"Anyway, it caused a huge uproar at the time, an absolute mess, and it was right around then that the marriage alliance came about." "That heavenly pride of a woman from the other Li Li Tianwang branch actually wasn't opposed to a marriage alliance with Li Taixuan — after all, you should understand your father's bearing and charisma, his appeal was considerable... but your father was extremely opposed to it, and afterward, to express..."

"But in the end, this matter was still suppressed, because your father was rather special — he was the one favored by the Old Ancestor, who even bestowed upon him the Li Tianwang Token. So even the Mountain-Holding lineage head had no power to call him to account."

"Thus the marriage alliance matter was considered dead, but the relationship between our clan and that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage was also affected quite a bit."

Li Luo nodded slightly. The story was as melodramatic as he had imagined.

"Could it be that that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage wanted to hunt down my father and mother just because of this?" But then he furrowed his brow again. If it was only because of this reason, wouldn't that be a bit too childish?

Li Li Rouyun sighed, glanced at Seeing Niu Niu Biaobiao beside her, and the latter also rubbed his chin and let out a bitter smile. "The marriage alliance matter can only be considered the trigger... Later, your father and mother, paired together out in the world, were like an immortal couple. And although the Old Master was very angry about this, Li Taixuan was after all his most beloved and valued bloodline, so in his heart he

began to somewhat accept Dantai Lan. After all, setting aside the influence of the Golden-Winged Great Peng aspect, Dantai Lan's talent — even the Old Master had once privately praised."

Li Li Rouyun sighed and glanced at Niu Niu Biaobiao beside her; the latter was also rubbing his chin with a somewhat wry smile. "The marriage alliance can only be considered the trigger... afterward, your father and your mother became a pair out in the world, something of an immortal couple, and although the old man was very angry about it, Li Taixuan was after all the bloodline he liked and valued most, so in his heart..."

Seeing Niu Niu Biaobiao, Dantai Lan also began to accept it somewhat, because aside from the influence of the Golden-Winged Great Roc bloodline, Dantai Lan's natural talent was something even the old man had once privately praised."

Li Li Rouyun's expression darkened at this moment. "That time, an ancient ruin in Outer Shenzhou broke its seal and appeared in the world, attracting the covetous attention of all forces. Your father and mother were among the first batch to enter it, and inside the ruin, they ran into the other protagonist of the failed marriage alliance...

that heaven-blessed daughter of the Li Li Tianwang lineage." "What quarrel occurred between them is no longer worth investigating. In any case, the result was that your father and mother came into conflict with them — a very intense one at that. Ultimately, in the clash, your mother severely wounded that heaven-blessed daughter,

and also killed several young talents within that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage who likewise held extremely high status."

Li Li Rouyun pressed her lips together and continued: "When this matter got out, that branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage was furious, and sent out many powerful experts to capture Dantai Lan back to the clan to pay with her life."

"And Li Taixuan of course couldn't agree, after which an even more intense conflict erupted." "But no matter how brilliant the two of them were, they couldn't possibly withstand the power of an entire branch of the Li Li Tianwang lineage, so they could only keep retreating. Li Taixuan also sent back a request for aid. When the Old Master initially received the request, he wanted to mobilize the Dragon Fang lineage's forces immediately, but was ultimately blocked by the Dragon Blood lineage. Their reasoning was that if they did so, it might cause a confrontation between the two branches of the Li Li Tianwang lineage, which would shake all of Outer Shenzhou."

"The Old Master strongly opposed it at the time, but the Mountain-Holding lineage held greater power, and ultimately after deliberation, the clan reached a unified decision."

"And Li Taixuan of course couldn't agree, and afterward an even fiercer conflict broke out." "But no matter how dazzlingly brilliant the two of them were, they still couldn't withstand the might of an entire Li Li Tianwang branch, so they could only keep retreating, and Li Taixuan also sent back a request for aid. When the old man initially received the request, he wanted to mobilize the Dragon..."

... tooth branch's forces at the first moment, but in the end they were blocked by the Dragon Blood branch, whose reasoning was that once it came to that, it might cause a confrontation between the two Li Li Tianwang branches, which would shake the entire Outer Shenzhou."

Li Li Rouyun sighed again, her voice rising softly. "As for the final result... I suppose there's no need to say it, is there?"

Li Li Rouyun stared at Li Luo, silent for two seconds.

"Protect Li Taixuan, not Dantai Lan."

Li Li Rouyun sighed once more, and a faint, mournful voice rose. "As for the final result... I suppose there's no need to say it, is there?"
