Chapter 807

When Li Luo felt the spatial fluctuations around him vanish, he opened his eyes, only to see dazzling golden light surge into his vision.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after adapting, he realized that the golden light came from countless golden halls before him; these halls were resplendent and magnificent in their grandeur.

Above the sky, streaks of flowing light constantly swept by.

The clamorous sounds filled the space between heaven and earth.

"So this is the headquarters of the Dragon Blood Lineage?" Li Luo looked around curiously. The architectural style here was completely different from that of the Dragon Fang Lineage; dazzling gold was everywhere. It was said this was because the Dragon Blood Lineage took its name from dragon blood, and dragon blood revered gold above all.

Even the clouds drifting in the sky appeared faintly golden. This was no illusion; within the clouds, winding dragon shadows were faintly visible, seemingly some kind of protective formation.

Luxurious, magnificent, and mysterious.

This was Li Luo's first impression of the Dragon Blood Lineage.

While Li Luo was observing the surroundings, a group of figures approached from ahead. They appeared to be high-ranking members of the Dragon Blood Lineage, and they bowed respectfully to Li Li Jingzhe.

After a brief exchange, Li Li Jingzhe was escorted away, presumably to meet the lineage's mountain master.

Meanwhile, the flag bearers of the Four Flags were arranged to go to specific residences.

The actual birthday celebration would take place tomorrow, so today they still needed to rest for the night.

Just as Li Luo intended to follow the Qingming Flag bearers, Li Li Fengyi came looking for him and said, "Tonight there will be a banquet hosted by Li Li Qingfeng of the Golden Blood Lineage. He has invited the younger generation from each lineage, as well as some young guests from various factions who have come to offer birthday wishes."

"That Li Li Qingfeng hopes all twenty Great Flag Leaders of the Twenty Flags can attend. It seems he wants to discuss something."

"That Great Flag Leader of the Golden Blood Flag, Li Li Qingfeng..." Li Luo's eyes flickered slightly. This person's reputation was indeed quite significant among the five lines of the Heavenly Dragon. Others said he should be the Dragon Head of this generation's younger generation.

"This fellow really thinks he is the leader of this generation; his conduct and style are all those of a Dragon Head... The struggle for the Dragon Head of our generation hasn't even started yet; who knows what the final result will be?" Li Li Fengyi pouted slightly, her words revealing a certain lack of fondness for that Li Li Qingfeng.

However, although she said this, Li Li Fengyi also understood that Li Li Qingfeng was indeed a top-tier genius. His own talent was extraordinary, and whether it was his personal strength or the Golden Blood Flag he commanded, he was considered one of the most outstanding of this generation.

It would not be an exaggeration to say he was the face of the younger generation of the five lines of the Heavenly Dragon today.

But Li Li Fengyi was still displeased. Although she was a woman, her personality was even more competitive than a man's. She admired her third uncle Li Taixuan and longed for the achievements he once had in suppressing his peers from all lineages, so she had always been striving to become someone like Li Taixuan.

It was just a pity that in terms of talent, although she was also a standout, there was still an undeniable gap between her and Li Li Qingfeng.

"Then let's go see what this 'Dragon Head' actually wants to do."

Li Luo pondered slightly, then said with a smile, "Since we are idle anyway, it would be good to see the style of this Li Li Qingfeng. After all, who knows if we might encounter each other at the upcoming 'Xuanhuang Dragon Qi Pool'?"

Hearing this, Li Li Fengyi also nodded. Since Li Li Qingfeng had sent someone to invite them, they naturally had to give him face.

"Then let's go." She glanced at the sky; it was already approaching evening.

Li Luo nodded, and the two went to find Li Jingtang. The latter originally wanted to decline, but under Li Li Fengyi's glare, he obediently followed along.

Thus, under the guidance of a maid from the Dragon Blood Lineage, the three spent an hour and arrived at a brightly lit Golden Hall in the center of the lake.

By now the sky had darkened, yet the light emanating from the Golden Hall in the center of the lake illuminated the nearby lake surface with extraordinary clarity.

The Golden Hall in the center of the lake was now bustling with activity, with guests constantly arriving under the guidance of maids.

When the three of Li Luo arrived, they drew some attention, and most of these gazes came from young women. Their curious and interested looks were mainly fixed on Li Luo.

They did not know Li Luo; they simply thought this young man was very handsome. His gray-white hair, under the bright lights, appeared even more pleasing and unique.

"Little brother, your looks are really not bad. If you want, there might be many romantic encounters for you tonight," Li Li Fengyi said with some mockery.

In response to Li Li Fengyi's teasing, Li Luo could only smile helplessly and refuse, saying, "That's impossible. I have a fiancée; I must remain pure for her."

"You actually have a fiancée? Did Third Uncle arrange it for you in the Outer Shenzhou?"

Li Jingtang was somewhat surprised, then rubbed his chin and spoke in a tone as if he saw through people's hearts, "This is not a good thing. You have now come to the Inner Shenzhou, while she remains in that place called the Outer Shenzhou. In the future, the gap between you will grow larger and larger, and inevitably, a rift will form."

Li Li Fengyi also did not look favorably on this, saying, "If it really doesn't work out, just break off the engagement. Otherwise, dragging it on only delays the other person."

Li Luo sighed sorrowfully, because he suddenly remembered that when Jiang Jiang Qinge left, the engagement between the two seemed to have been truly canceled... Moreover, this was his own long-standing request.

In a sense, the two of them now seemed to have no engagement binding them.

Li Luo rubbed his face, feeling an urge to slap himself. Li Luo, oh Li Luo, you pretended, you took off your pants to fart, but don't forget there is a saying: breaking off an engagement is fun for a moment, chasing a wife leads to a crematorium.

However, ultimately, these emotions were suppressed by Li Luo into a self-mocking sigh, because he knew Jiang Jiang Qinge too well; the emotions between the two were not something that this so-called engagement could affect in the slightest.

While the three were talking along the way, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Golden Hall in the center of the lake.

"Li Li Fengyi, long time no see. You are still so impetuous and fiery." At this moment, someone came out to greet them, and a voice carrying a faint mockery was heard.

From within the gate, a young woman in a purple skirt walked gracefully forward. The woman had a beautiful face, skin like snow, and lively eyes. Embroidered on her skirt was a lifelike red carp.

As soon as the woman appeared, she immediately drew the burning gazes of many men around her.

"Li Li Hongli, you are still so pretentious and affected." Li Li Fengyi glanced at the other party and retorted without holding back.

Hearing this, Li Luo glanced at the woman in the purple skirt... Was she Li Li Hongli, the Great Flag Leader of the Purple Blood Flag of the Dragon Blood Lineage, who ranked third in the Demon Cave?

However, it seemed that Li Li Fengyi's relationship with her was not good.

Facing Li Li Fengyi's sarcasm, Li Li Hongli smiled slightly and said, "If the ability of the Red Cloud Flag you lead was as sharp-tongued as your mouth, how could it still be at its current ranking?"

"What does your Purple Blood Flag's ranking have to do with you? I have heard that your father, in order to worry about your affairs, went to great lengths to gather elites for your Purple Blood Flag," Li Li Fengyi said expressionlessly.

Li Li Hongli narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her voice became colder: "Even without the Purple Blood Flag, I am enough to suppress you."

"Then come and try?" Li Li Fengyi countered directly.

Li Li Hongli sneered. Sensing the many gazes cast from all around, she also knew this was not the place to argue with Li Li Fengyi. Immediately, her gaze shifted, sweeping over the exceptionally handsome gray-white-haired young man standing beside Li Li Fengyi.

"You are Li Luo?" She raised her dark eyebrows slightly.

This appearance was indeed really not bad.

Li Luo smiled but did not answer, because from the other party's scrutinizing gaze, he felt that this Li Li Hongli held little goodwill toward him.

Seeing that Li Luo did not even answer her, a hint of thin anger flashed across Li Li Hongli's beautiful face. She said faintly, "Your appearance does resemble Li Taixuan to some extent; I just wonder how much of your father's ability you possess."

Hearing this, Li Luo said seriously, "You will have to try that yourself in the future."

"However, regardless of the result in the future, I hope you will not, like your previous generation, pass this competitive sentiment down to the next generation."

From Li Li Fengyi, he had long known that Li Li Hongli's father had once regarded Li Taixuan as a rival, wanting to compete with him in everything. But the result was obvious: he was suppressed utterly. This caused Li Li Hongli's father to always harbor resentment toward Li Taixuan, and Li Li Hongli's attitude toward him was obviously influenced by her father since childhood.

Li Li Hongli was a princess adored by ten thousand people among the younger generation of the Dragon Blood Lineage; she had never received such a lecturing tone. Immediately, her willow eyebrows stood straight up in anger.

"Li Li Hongli, there are so many guests today; do you still want to throw your princess tantrum here?"

Just as Li Li Hongli was about to erupt, a slightly hoarse female voice rang out from behind Li Luo and the others.

That voice seemed familiar.

Li Luo's heart stirred slightly. He turned his head and saw several figures approaching from behind. The one in the lead was a girl in a black shirt and long pants. She had a fair, oval face and ear-length short hair, looking extremely dashing and heroic.

Beneath her long pants, a pair of straight, slender long legs outshone everyone present.

It was none other than the Grand Banner Leader of the Dragon Scale Lineage's Holy Scale Banner, Lu Lu Qingmei.
