Chapter 832: Different Choices

Li Luo's direct charge toward the coiled dragon pillar deep within the dragon pool immediately made the atmosphere in this area tense.

The faces of the many Great Flag Leaders present shifted; disregarding Qin Yi, they moved, their Xiangli erupted, the void beneath their feet rippled, and they all shot out violently.

Qin Yi made no further move; she glanced at the formation deep within the dragon pool, then her beautiful eyes turned toward Li Luo's figure inside the golden dragon pillar.

"Li Luo, you defeated me once; I will not continue to act this time, but if you wish to obtain the golden dragon pillar, you must still face some challenges. I wonder if you can hold it." Qin Yi murmured to herself.

Judging by the current situation, Li Li Qingfeng obviously would not be willing to yield the golden dragon pillar to Li Luo, and as the leader of the young generation of the Dragon Bloodline, the other Great Flag Leaders all trusted him; they would help Li Li Qingfeng seize the golden dragon pillar, so even if Li Luo had some ability, he might not be able to hold it.

Thus, whether Li Luo could hold the golden dragon pillar was indeed somewhat uncertain.

Qin Yi did not leave; instead, she watched the deep dragon pool with interest, wanting to see a good show.

Under Qin Yi's gaze, the figures of Li Li Qingfeng and others accelerated to the extreme; the sound of breaking the air was piercing as they shot straight toward the golden dragon pillar.

Li Li Qingfeng's gaze fixed tightly on the gradually closing golden light shield, his expression somewhat gloomy; this dragon pool contest had been full of unexpected turns.

First, the addition of Qin Yi, the troublemaker, caused the originally clear-cut dragon pool contest to change; later, the Zuoshuidian also brought them considerable trouble.

But what Li Li Qingfeng least expected was that Li Luo would break out of the Zuoshuidian first and seize the golden dragon pillar.

This Li Luo has truly stolen all the spotlight.

Although he did not understand why Li Luo could break out from Qin Yi's grasp, it was enough to show that Li Luo had performed extraordinarily this time; if Li Luo were to also seize the golden dragon pillar, he would undoubtedly become the most dazzling protagonist of this grand banquet.

The many guests would all remember this son of Li Taixuan who returned from the Outer Shenzhou.

But if this happened, his status as Li Li Qingfeng, the prodigy regarded as the most likely to claim the Dragon Head among the five Dragon Bloodline lines of this generation, would naturally face a challenge.

Therefore, no matter what, he, Li Li Qingfeng, must snatch back this golden dragon pillar.

Thinking of this, Li Li Qingfeng raised his finger; a drop of fresh blood seeped from his fingertip, writhed, and transformed into a blood needle about an inch long; within the blood needle, golden light seemed to flow, resembling a tiny, exquisite dragon shadow.

"Golden Blood Dragon Shadow Needle!"

Li Li Qingfeng flicked his finger; the dragon shadow blood needle shot out violently, its speed unimaginable; behind it, a cloud-explosion gas even appeared caused by piercing the air.

A faint trace of blood light swept across the void, but just a few breaths later, a streak of Xiangli light shot in, shattering the blood light a step ahead.

Li Li Qingfeng was stunned; then, with anger in his eyes, he turned to look toward the direction the Xiangli came from, and he saw Lu Lu Qingmei, who had followed closely behind not far away.

The previous strike had come from her.

"Great Flag Leader Lu, what do you mean?" Li Li Qingfeng asked in a deep voice, not understanding why Lu Lu Qingmei would intercept his attack.

Lu Lu Qingmei held a glazed glass staff; moving at high speed, the wind and waves brushed against her, her tight-fitting clothes clung to her body, revealing an almost perfect, delicate figure.

Facing Li Li Qingfeng's question, she said calmly: "Li Luo was able to break out of the Zuoshuidian from Qin Yi's grasp first; that is his skill. Speaking of it, he also saved a bit of face for us Great Flag Leaders in this situation, so him arriving at the golden dragon pillar first is also what he deserves."

"If Great Flag Leader Li Li Qingfeng is unwilling, he can try to arrive before the golden light shield closes, but this kind of tactic is unnecessary."

Annoyance appeared in Li Li Qingfeng's eyes; he had not expected Lu Lu Qingmei to actually intend to help Li Luo occupy the golden dragon pillar; perhaps she also understood that even without Li Luo, the golden dragon pillar would likely not fall into her hands.

"Hong Li, stop her!" Li Li Qingfeng had no time to tangle with Lu Lu Qingmei, so he shouted coldly.

A rainbow light darted rapidly from behind; it was Li Li Hongli.

Hearing Li Li Qingfeng's shout, she immediately nodded; powerful Xiangli erupted, and a Xiangli halo roared directly toward Lu Lu Qingmei's position.

Lu Lu Qingmei's face remained calm; she slowed her speed slightly, swung the glazed glass staff in her hand backward, and instantly the rolling clouds and mist around were torn apart; the domineering, endless rainbow of staff shadows smashed the attack coming from Li Li Hongli.

But with this delay, Li Li Qingfeng's figure rapidly moved far away.

"Everyone, I am determined to obtain the golden dragon pillar; I hope everyone will give me a small favor and temporarily stay away!" At the same time, Li Li Qingfeng's cold voice also reached the ears of the many Great Flag Leaders present.

Thus, the Great Flag Leaders of each line who had arrived here all paused slightly, their faces hesitant.

Li Li Qingfeng had already spoken to this extent; obviously, if anyone approached again, they would be suspected of helping Li Luo.

And Li Li Qingfeng's prestige was deep among the young generation of the five Dragon Bloodline lines, while Li Luo was merely a Great Flag Leader who had temporarily returned from the Outer Shenzhou; although his father had been dazzling in the past, that was ultimately just a thing of the past.

So making a choice between these two was actually not difficult.

Deng Deng Fengxian also heard Li Li Qingfeng's voice; he frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the figure on the golden dragon pillar deep within, his eyes flickering.

Li Luo being able to seize the golden dragon pillar first was actually extremely unexpected even for him at the start.

Previously, he had also underestimated this third young master of the Dragon Tooth Line who had returned not long ago.

Even though Qin Yi needed to divide her power to maintain the Zuoshuidian, her own methods were still not to be underestimated; even Deng Deng Fengxian himself did not have enough confidence to break out from Qin Yi in that state.

But Li Luo had done it.

Obviously, Li Luo had been hiding his strength all along.

After this dragon pool contest, the Qingming Banner led by Li Luo would likely surge in prestige within the Dragon Tooth Line, even bringing great pressure to their Jin Guang Banner.

Deng Deng Fengxian fell silent for a few breaths, finally sighing secretly.

Regardless of the threat and competition Li Luo brought, they ultimately still belonged to the Dragon Tooth Line; Li Luo obtaining the golden dragon pillar, while it would affect the prestige of the Jin Guang Banner, was a good thing for the entire Dragon Tooth Line.

Because Deng Deng Fengxian knew that he himself did not have the ability to compete with Li Li Qingfeng.

Since that was the case...

Deng Deng Fengxian hesitated no more; his slightly slowed speed suddenly accelerated.

His unusual movement immediately drew the attention of the other Great Flag Leaders; Deng Deng Fengxian's action had already shown that he was ignoring Li Li Qingfeng's warning.

Was he trying to help the Dragon Tooth Line obtain the golden dragon pillar?

Was he, Deng Deng Fengxian, not afraid of offending that Li Li Qingfeng?

However, just as Deng Deng Fengxian's figure moved, a light shadow rapidly approached from behind; at the same time, powerful Xiangli roared into motion, directly locking him down.

Deng Deng Fengxian's figure paused; he turned his head, his face slightly darkening: "Li Li Senyan, you want to stop me?"

The person who appeared was actually Li Li Senyan, the Great Flag Leader of the Thunder Horn Banner.

But this was not too unexpected; the Dragon Horn Line has always followed the Dragon Bloodline's lead, so its four banners within were also very close to the four banners of the Dragon Bloodline; now that Li Li Qingfeng had given an order, it was only natural for Li Li Senyan to comply.

Li Li Senyan smiled: "Brother Deng, Li Luo cannot hold the golden dragon pillar; why provoke Great Flag Leader Li Li Qingfeng?"

Deng Deng Fengxian shook his head, saying no more nonsense; his overwhelming Xiangli swept out like a storm, and his ruthless, peerless offensive attacked Li Li Senyan.

The scene deep within the dragon pool instantly became somewhat chaotic.

But Li Li Qingfeng's speed was not affected in the slightest; under the gaze of many eyes inside and outside the pool, he finally appeared outside the golden dragon pillar before the golden light shield had completely closed.
