Chapter 797: Dragon Fang-Type Marquis Art

In the end, the discussion in the council hall wrapped up hastily. None of those present had expected that Li Luo had actually obtained the Grand Manor Master's voting rights. Although this did not mean Li Luo truly possessed all the authority of the Grand Manor Master of the Green Nether Manor, this alone was enough

to make him the most powerful Banner Leader among the Twenty Banners of the Heavenly Dragon.

After all, the other Banner Leaders did not have such a special opportunity. Zhong Zhong Yushi, who had used an excuse to leave, looked particularly unpleasant at the time. Li Luo holding the Grand Manor Master's voting rights would undoubtedly affect his own voice within the Green Nether Manor, but this was Li Jingzhuo's intention, and no matter how unhappy he felt

there was nothing he could do about it.

However, with this, the matter of Zhong Ling could no longer be pursued, and the Green Nether Banner would inevitably fall into Li Luo's hands.

Green Nether Peak, along the mountain path.

Li Li Rouyun walked Li Luo out, a hint of a smile in her eyes. She had always been at odds with Zhong Zhong Yushi in the Green Nether Manor, so seeing Zhong Zhong Yushi frustrated today naturally put her in a good mood.

"I didn't expect the old man to have already handed you the Grand Manor Master's token of the Green Nether Manor. Zhong Zhong Yushi has coveted this thing for so many years, yet never got his wish." she sighed.

Clearly, even though Li Taixuan had been away for so many years, in the old man's heart, he was still an irreplaceable presence.

"This token only gives me a bit of voting power, and I still can't interfere with the many affairs of the Green Nether Manor right now. After all, it really is a bit early." Li Luo said with a smile.

"It's still a good start. I think, if in a few years your father still hasn't returned to the Dragon Fang Lineage, the old man might let you truly inherit your father's position." Li Li Rouyun said. "How could I possibly hold that down?" Li Luo said with a smile, shaking his head. A single Green Nether Manor governs "two realms of territory" of the Dragon Fang Lineage, its jurisdiction several times larger than the entire Great Xia, and the forces involved, the Marquis-level powerhouses, were countless.

"With your talent, becoming a Marquis in a few years may not be a difficult matter." Li Li Rouyun said.

"That's quite possible." Li Luo rubbed his chin, smiling, deeply convinced of this, because in a few years he would only have two outcomes: becoming a Marquis, or... collecting his own corpse. "But your suddenly obtaining the Grand Manor Master's voting rights this time has disrupted Zhong Zhong Yushi's long-standing arrangements within the Green Nether Manor. In the past, he always used such means to push through Manor Master resolutions, so I think he definitely won't easily let go

of this voting authority." Li Li Rouyun said thoughtfully.

"What does Aunt Yun think he will do?"

"I think he will devote even more effort to scheming for the soon-to-be-added sixth Manor Master seat of the Green Nether Manor." Li Li Rouyun thought for a moment and said. Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. The position of the sixth Manor Master of the Green Nether Manor was one he had planned to reserve for Uncle Biao. Uncle Biao had helped their family so much over the years, and although this kindness could not be repaid by a mere sixth Manor Master seat, Li Luo

still wanted to do something. "I mentioned this matter to the old man before. He agreed to let Uncle Biao run, but Uncle Biao's heavy injuries haven't healed yet. Even with external aid, he only has the strength of a Fourth-grade Marquis. So the old man's intention is to push the sixth Manor Master election back a bit,

and wait until Uncle Biao's Marquis Platform issue can be resolved. Only then, once he becomes the sixth Manor Master, can he shut everyone's mouths." Li Luo said slowly.

Li Li Rouyun nodded. Indeed, if Niu Niu Biaobiao's strength didn't recover, even if Li Luo pushed him into the sixth Manor Master seat, he probably wouldn't hold it for long.

"With the old man keeping things in check, let's wait a bit longer." Li Li Rouyun asked some more about Li Luo's recent cultivation progress and the Green Nether Banner's results, her expression growing more satisfied. She said: "The Green Nether Banner has reached the thirty-fifth floor of the Evil Demon Cave. Now that you've formed the Sharp Blade Division, the clearing efficiency will increase again in the short

term. Reaching the fortieth floor shouldn't be far off."

"Generally, when breaking through to the fortieth floor, the Manor will grant a batch of resources as a reward. By then, it should greatly boost the Green Nether Banner's morale. I'll keep an eye on this batch of resources for you and try to make it as generous as possible."

Li Luo beamed. Having someone close to him in the upper echelons was indeed a worry-free matter, saving him from having to argue over these things later.

"Aunt Yun, I heard that if we reach the fortieth floor, we'll be qualified to access the Dragon Fang Lineage's Marquis Arts?" Li Luo changed the subject and suddenly asked.

Li Li Rouyun was briefly stunned, then smiled and nodded: "If any Banner within the Manor reaches the fortieth floor, the Banner Leader will indeed be allowed to access our Dragon Fang Lineage's Marquis Arts. What? You're interested?"

Li Luo said: "Marquis Arts collected by a Heavenly King-level force—if I said I wasn't interested, that would be too hypocritical." The "Black Dragon Nether Water Banner" he cultivated, although its complete form was a "Si Si Tianming-level" Marquis Art—a level of Marquis Art that was surely rare even among these Heavenly King-level forces—unfortunately, this standalone "Black Dragon Nether Water

Banner," in terms of power, could only be considered a "Tongling-level" Marquis Art. In the past, the power of this Marquis Art had been sufficient, but in this Outer Shenzhou where prodigies gathered like clouds, the opponents he would face in the future were undoubtedly far stronger than someone like Zhong Ling. So Li Luo felt that, if given the chance, he might

try cultivating more Marquis Arts to enhance his own methods and trump cards.

"If it were an ordinary person, even at the Great Fiend Palace Stage, let alone the Fiend Body Stage, I would advise them not to aim too high. After all, Marquis Arts are extremely difficult, and if one's talent is insufficient, it would only be a waste of one's own cultivation time."

Li Li Rouyun smiled and said: "But you can't be measured by common sense."

"Our Dragon Fang Lineage has collected quite a few Marquis Arts, but basically they are divided into two major categories."

"One category is ordinary Marquis Arts, and the other category is the 'Dragon Fang-type' Marquis Arts, exclusively inherited by our Dragon Fang Lineage."

"Dragon Fang-type Marquis Arts?" Li Luo was astonished. What kind of Marquis Arts were these?

"Simply put, it's a 'Dragon Fang' cultivated through Te Shu Zhi Fa." Li Li Rouyun's red lips parted slightly, and with a gentle exhale, Li Luo saw a ray of light shoot out from her mouth.

The ray of light swelled against the wind, and in an instant grew to about a zhang or so. It was like a stream of light, revolving around Li Li Rouyun. Li Luo saw clearly that within the stream of light was a slender, streamlined, fang-shaped object—clearly a Dragon Fang. The tip of the Dragon Fang emanated an extremely terrifying sharp aura, and as it sliced through the void, Li Luo

clearly felt the void being silently split apart.

The sharp aura emanating from the Dragon Fang made one's soul tremble.

Li Luo's scalp tingled slightly, because at this moment he felt that if this Dragon Fang were to attack him, all his defenses would be utterly useless. His entire body would be riddled with holes in an instant, his vitality extinguished.

"This is one of the 'Dragon Fangs' I cultivate. Regardless of how this so-called 'Dragon Fang-type' Marquis Art advances and evolves, condensing one's own Dragon Fang is one of the foundations."

"The specifics you'll know when the time comes. You just need to consider in advance which type of Marquis Art you want to cultivate." Li Li Rouyun took a gentle breath, and the Dragon Fang transformed back into a ray of light and swept into her mouth, vanishing from sight.

Li Luo nodded. Seeing that they had reached the foot of the mountain, he cupped his hands and took his leave of Li Li Rouyun.

He was very interested in this Dragon Fang-type Marquis Art. It seemed that next he would have to speed up the clearing of the Evil Demon Cave and reach the fortieth floor as soon as possible, so he could go access and try it out. (Yesterday's leave notice chapter had some places that weren't seen, so I'm reminding you here. Mainly I caught yang (fever), my temperature was so high I felt numb, really couldn't update. Today the situation is much better, the fever has gone down normally.)
