Chapter 847: The Four Flags Gather

Li Luo naturally agreed to Li Li Rouyun's request without hesitation; when he went to Xi Ling Jing, he was quite interested in meeting this senior sister of his own clan.

Next, Li Luo rested for another day before heading to the Qingming Training Ground.

When Li Luo arrived at the training ground, the many flag members passing by saw him and all respectfully bowed, their eyes filled with reverence.

In the mere few months Li Luo had commanded the Qingming Flag, it had undergone a transformation akin to shedding its old skin; those brilliant achievements had caused the Qingming Flag's reputation to climb steadily among the Twenty Flags.

The Qingming Flag now had the qualification to rank among the top of the Twenty Flags, a result completely different from half a year ago.

And all of this was due to Li Luo's changes.

Although the Qingming Flag's foundation was already quite good—strictly speaking, none of the Twenty Flags had too poor a foundation, after all, these eight thousand flag members were carefully selected from the Longya Domain; regarding talent, they would be considered prodigies even in their original locations.

However, for a pack of wolves to display formidable strength, an excellent alpha wolf was indispensable, and this had always been the Qingming Flag's weak point.

Until Li Luo appeared.

Thus, Li Luo's prestige within the Qingming Flag had now reached its peak.

Entering the Qingming Training Ground, Li Luo summoned Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, Mu Bi, and others.

"Boss, did you break through?"

When Li Shi saw Li Luo for the first time, his expression changed slightly; he was currently in the Golden Fiend Body Realm, yet facing Li Luo now, he actually felt a vague sense of pressure.

Although Li Luo possessed terrifying combat power comparable to the Glazed Fiend Body Realm when he was in the Great Fiend Palace Realm before, that was ultimately reliant on various methods, but now, Li Luo was making Li Shi feel a genuine pressure of power.

This indicated that Li Luo's power level had surpassed his.

"Mm, by borrowing those 'Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi', I am now in the Golden Fiend Body Realm too," Li Luo smiled and said.

Strictly speaking, he should be half a level higher than the Golden Fiend Body Realm now, since he had already condensed a semi-finished Glazed Fiend Body, but these details were unnecessary to explain too clearly to Li Shi and the others.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Mu Bi, and others present all wore expressions of astonishment; in such a short span of merely a few months, Li Luo had already caught up to their realms, such talent was truly dazzling.

"Looks like we had good eyesight, hugging a thigh early," Zhao Zhao Yanzhi said with a smile, her face charming and captivating.

"Sister Zhao's judgment is unquestionable; when the Great Flag Leader first arrived at the Qingming Flag, to be honest, no one could have imagined that a few months later, our Qingming Flag would have the momentum it has now," the First Division Flag Leader, Zhou Shanhe, smiled at Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, his voice full of envy.

This envy was not fake, because within the current Qingming Flag, everyone knew that Zhao Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, and Mu Bi were Li Luo's confidants, after all, they were Li Luo's old core team from the Fifth Division.

Now that Li Luo's momentum was like fire, the future Qingming Flag would inevitably reach new heights under his leadership, and even later, Li Luo's status in the Longya Pulse would be extraordinary.

With such a powerful backing, Zhao Zhao Yanzhi and the others would surely have a bright future in the Longya Domain.

Although Zhou Shanhe was now also under Li Luo's command, he knew clearly that his status could not compare to Zhao Zhao Yanzhi and the other three.

Li Luo waved his hand and smiled: "I called you here today because of the upcoming mission."

"Is it that Zuo Xi Ling Jing Dark Domain?" Mu Bi said in a muffled voice; within these few days, news of this mission had spread throughout the Four Flags, so they already knew.

Zhao Zhao Yanzhi pondered slightly and said: "That Dark Domain in Xi Ling Jing is quite special; it lies outside Xi Ling Jing. Strictly speaking, that place is no longer under our Longya Pulse's jurisdiction. Moreover, the Zhao Li Tianwang lineage borders our Longya Domain, and the two sides check each other, which ironically resulted in that Dark Domain area having no true manager, so that region has gathered many lone cultivators, people from all walks of life, making it quite complex."

Li Luo nodded and said: "So I hope you will investigate the situation there as soon as possible, including intelligence on the Abnormals within that Dark Domain."

"Additionally, that Dark Domain must be extremely dangerous; facing the Abnormals and the possible conflicts with the Zhao Li Tianwang lineage, if we are not careful, we will pay a terribly bloody price, so you must take this seriously and remind the flag members under your command to remain vigilant at all times."

"I do not want excessive personnel losses for our Qingming Flag after this Dark Domain expedition."

Li Luo's expression was somewhat serious; although he had not yet visited the Dark Domains of the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou, he imagined their danger level would not be weaker than the Dark Caves suppressed by the academies, and those Abnormals were too bizarre; engaging them, if one was not careful, there would not even be a chance to regret.

The Qingming Flag was now a powerful force in his hand, so he did not want the Qingming Flag to suffer losses, as that would similarly affect his prestige.

Li Shi, Zhou Shanhe, and others hearing this all respectfully agreed.

After giving some further instructions, Li Luo went to a lakeside pavilion in the western courtyard of the training ground to wait for the other guests arriving today.

About an hour later, three figures walked in.

"Little Brother, did you complete your breakthrough?" a somewhat surprised familiar voice came, it was Li Li Fengyi.

Beside her followed Li Li Jingtao and the Great Flag Leader of the Jin Guang Flag, Deng Deng Fengxian.

The Four Flags' Great Flag Leaders of the Longya Pulse gathering here was exactly what Li Luo had invited.

Li Luo first smiled at Li Li Fengyi, nodded, and said: "Borrowing the mystery of that Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi, I broke through to the Golden Fiend Body Realm this time."

Li Li Fengyi made a 'tsk tsk' sound: "It was actually a breakthrough surpassing levels, such profound foundation."

Li Li Jingtao also nodded repeatedly, praising: "Third Brother's talent is truly outstanding; if you had grown up in the Longya Pulse since childhood, in our generation of the Five Heavenly Dragon Pulses, no one could compete with you."

Even the dignified Deng Deng Fengxian standing aside glanced at Li Luo one more time, though he did not feel too surprised, after all, since Li Luo obtained the seven Zhu Xuan Huang Dragon Qi, he knew the latter's breakthrough would not be ordinary.

Li Luo's gaze turned to Deng Deng Fengxian, and he smiled: "I thought Great Flag Leader Deng wouldn't come."

Deng Deng Fengxian said calmly: "This Xi Ling Jing Dark Domain mission is a joint task for our Four Flags; since Great Flag Leader Li Luo used this as the reason, how could I not come."

Li Luo nodded and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for your help during the Dragon Pool dispute a few days ago."

Deng Deng Fengxian had also acted that day; although he was ultimately blocked by others, this move still made Li Luo look at him with some new respect.

After all, obtaining the Golden Dragon Pillar here would inevitably cause the Qingming Flag's momentum to rise, thereby shaking the Jin Guang Flag's position among the Four Flags of the Longya Pulse, but Deng Deng Fengxian did not stand aside because of this; instead, he prioritized the overall reputation of the Longya Pulse, which highlighted that his own vision was quite extraordinary.

And this act gained Li Luo a bit of goodwill.

Deng Deng Fengxian spoke calmly: "You don't need to thank me; the Jin Guang Flag is also a member of the Longya Pulse, I will not do anything that harms the Longya Pulse."

"I didn't expect you, Deng Deng Fengxian, to be able to speak a few words of human language," Li Li Fengyi said beside him.

Deng Deng Fengxian looked at Li Li Fengyi and said: "It is not that I don't speak human language, but that your prejudice against me is too deep; you never listen to what I say in the past."

"Why should I listen to you?" Li Li Fengyi snorted coldly, saying arrogantly.

Deng Deng Fengxian's eye corner twitched slightly; finally, he was speechless and sat down by the stone table. He and Li Li Fengyi had known each other for several years, so he knew how fierce the temper of that Young Lady was.

"Deng Deng Fengxian, this time the Four Flags are going on a mission together, with Li Luo as the leader; I'm telling you, now the Four Flags are not just your Jin Guang Flag standing alone at the top," however, Li Li Fengyi did not intend to let him off, continuing to press aggressively.

Deng Deng Fengxian lowered his eyes slightly and said: "The Four Flags are each independent; we just need to cooperate to complete the mission."

Li Li Fengyi stared at him with fierce eyes and said: "Do you think your Jin Guang Flag can beat our three Flags? Do you believe we three will beat you up right now?"

Before Li Luo returned, back then among the Four Flags, the Jin Guang Flag led the way, leaving the other three Flags far behind; Li Li Fengyi was unwilling to be suppressed so much by an outsider, naturally engaging in many games with Deng Deng Fengxian, but without exception, she ultimately lost due to strength.

Now the Qingming Flag led by Li Luo suddenly rose, and Li Li Jingtao also revealed his hidden special strength for a long time; this undoubtedly made Li Li Fengyi's backbone stiffen, wanting to get back the grievances of the past.

Li Li Jingtao wore a harmless, old-good-man smile on his face, sitting obediently aside, not daring to stop the rampaging Li Li Fengyi.

Only Li Luo smiled and soothed: "Second Sister, calm down; that Dark Domain is dangerous; our Four Flags still need sincere cooperation to minimize damage as much as possible. As for having me as the leader, that is unnecessary; when we encounter matters then, we four should discuss and make a decision together, so if problems arise, we four can share the blame."

Hearing the last sentence, Li Li Fengyi's sternly set pretty face instantly broke into an involuntary smile; after casting a white-eyed glance at Li Luo, she merely snorted at Deng Deng Fengxian and ceased her attack.

As Li Li Fengyi fell silent, Li Luo also noticed that the expressionless Deng Deng Fengxian seemed to be secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

This made Li Luo unable to suppress a smile in his heart.

So it turns out Li Li Fengyi is the true bully among the four flags of the Dragon Tooth Pulse.
