Chapter 928: Li Li Wuyuan

~10 min read 1,831 words

"Third Brother, congratulations. After many years, our Dragon Tooth Pulse has finally reclaimed the top spot in the Sha Mo Cave." Li Li Jingtao approached Li Luo, his voice brimming with joy, for the achievements Li Luo had secured had indeed greatly boosted the morale of the four banners of the Dragon Tooth Pulse.

The previous contest for the Dragon Head merely revealed Li Luo's personal strength, but inside the Sha Mo Cave, reliance on the collective was required; this indicated that the current Green Mist Banner's combat power had already leaped to first among the twenty banners.

Of course, most importantly, this would surely be a heavy blow to the four banners of the Dragon Blood Pulse; one could imagine that for some time to come, the four banners of the Dragon Blood Pulse would curb their former arrogance.

Li Li Fengyi was also beaming with joy, her beautiful face filled with pride. She stepped forward, patted Li Luo on the shoulder, and then said to Li Li Fuling with a triumphant air: "Sister Li Fuling, this time, both the Dragon Head of the twenty banners and the top spot in the Sha Mo Cave belong to our Dragon Tooth Pulse. What do you think of this result?"

Li Li Fuling sized up Li Luo, her gaze lingering on his face for a few seconds. From Li Luo's features, she could faintly discern traces of Li Taixuan, and regarding Li Taixuan's portrait, Li Li Fuling had seen it many times at her mother's side.

Li Li Fuling occasionally learned from her mother that when her mother was young, she had cultivated within the Outer Shenzhou, encountered a perilous situation, and happened to meet Li Taixuan who came to her rescue. One could imagine that with Li Taixuan's appearance, temperament, and reputation, what a deadly allure that would be for a young woman. After that, her mother's heart had engraved the image of Li Taixuan, but naturally, her mother dared not reveal these feelings, for Li Taixuan was as brilliant as the blazing sun, and the number of women who admired and loved him was like fish crossing a river.

After that, her mother was arranged by the elders of the family into a marriage she did not like. Although she forced herself to spend a few years with her father, they eventually separated, and she grew up with her mother. Under such constant influence since childhood, she naturally regarded Li Taixuan as an unparalleled heavenly genius.

Furthermore, after she grew up and entered the twenty banners and even the Dragon Tooth Guard, everything she encountered were legends about Li Taixuan, so that feeling of admiration reached its peak.

And now, meeting Li Taixuan's son, Li Luo, here, her mood was exceptionally complex.

Among it, there was not only no sense of closeness brought by this special identity, but rather a certain inexplicable resistance arose.

Who in this world could compare to the unparalleled heavenly genius Li Taixuan? Even if this person was his bloodline, it was the same.

With complex thoughts, Li Li Fuling also smiled faintly and said: "The talent of Great Banner Leader Li Luo is naturally excellent. To win the top spot among the twenty banners is something ordinary people cannot achieve."

Although her emotions were complex inside, Li Li Fuling did not belittle Li Luo, because she too had come from the twenty banners and knew very well the quality of the twenty banners. Here gathered many young elites from the Dragon Tooth Region. If one were to insist that Li Luo's top spot was inflated, that would instead be an insult to herself.

Li Li Fengyi said mischievously: "Then how does he compare to my Third Uncle?"

Li Li Fuling glared at her impatiently and said: "Grand Hall Master Li Taixuan is an unparalleled heavenly genius. Since him, there has been no one in the Outer Shenzhou capable of comparing with him. There are many Dragon Heads in the twenty banners, but Li Taixuan... there is only one."

At the end of her words, Li Li Fuling glanced at Li Luo, with a meaning beyond the words.

Li Luo felt somewhat bewildered; these final words seemed somewhat targeted, yet the other person was praising his father so highly... Although within the Luo An Manor, Li Luo had to compete with Li Taixuan for the third ranking in the family, outside, he still gave the old man some face.

So he displayed a friendly smile and said: "Thank you, Sister, for your praise of my father."

Facing Li Luo's response, Li Li Fuling could only grunt, somewhat at a loss for what to say next.

Li Li Fengyi, standing aside, held back her laughter, feeling her stomach hurt a bit, then she introduced to Li Luo: "This is Sister Li Li Fuling. She was the leader of the four banners of our Dragon Tooth Pulse in the previous session, and has now entered the Dragon Tooth Guard for cultivation. She will also participate in this Spirit Illusion Grotto-Heaven."

At the same time, she introduced the other several Dragon Tooth Guard members who had come; these people were all elites who had walked out from the four banners of the Dragon Tooth Pulse in the previous session.

Li Luo glanced at two of them: Lu Ze, the Great Banner Leader of the Jin Guang Banner in the previous session, and Li Zhu Xuan, the Great Banner Leader of the Green Mist Banner in the previous session.

Lu Ze returned a smile, while that Li Zhu Xuan, with a slightly complex expression, clasped his hands and said: "In the past, Grand Hall Master brought the highest glory to the Green Mist Banner. Now, Great Banner Leader Li Luo has helped the Green Mist Banner restore its former glory. This can be considered a fine tale."

Li Luo smiled and said: "It is also because the Great Banner Leaders of the Green Mist Banner in previous sessions exerted themselves to maintain the Green Mist Banner that the Green Mist Banner could still maintain hope under the special circumstances of the Green Mist Court. Otherwise, even a skilled housewife cannot cook without rice."

Li Luo understood Li Zhu Xuan's mindset. After all, compared to the achievements Li Luo had now secured in the Green Mist Banner, Li Zhu Xuan, the Great Banner Leader of the previous session, truly appeared mediocre, so he also showed a bit of humility to avoid provoking the other party.

Li Zhu Xuan said shamefacedly: "Great Banner Leader Li Luo possesses outstanding talent. I imagine that after entering the Dragon Tooth Guard, you will surely stand out. At that time, perhaps you will be able to win some face for our Green Mist Banner within the Dragon Tooth Guard."

Li Luo shook his head and said: "The Dragon Tooth Guard gathers elites and geniuses from several sessions. How could I have such ability? Now, it is merely that there are no tigers in the mountain, so the monkey claims to be king."

Li Li Fengyi pouted and said: "Hypocritical. If you are a monkey, then what are we?"

Li Luo felt helpless. Wasn't one supposed to be humble? Could he directly say that the Dragon Tooth Guard was full of fools, all waiting for me, Li Luo, to dominate them in the future?

Li Li Fuling stared at Li Luo and suddenly asked: "Great Banner Leader Li Luo, I heard from Li Fengyi that you are very familiar with Li Li Lingjing? Is she currently also in the Dragon Tooth Mountain Range?"

Hearing her ask about Li Li Lingjing, Li Luo was also somewhat surprised and said: "Sister Li Fuling knows Sister Li Lingjing?"

Li Li Fuling said: "Of course I know her. After all, we are from the same session. Back then, her fame in that generation of the Dragon Tooth Pulse was not small. I always looked forward to her joining the four banners so that I could compete with her, but unfortunately..."

Li Luo nodded slightly and said: "Sister Li Lingjing can be said to have turned a misfortune into a blessing. Her strength has now recovered somewhat, and she will also participate in this Spirit Illusion Grotto-Heaven."

"That is indeed something to look forward to." Li Li Fuling's eyes showed a glimmer of eagerness.

Li Li Fengyi chuckled prettily from the side: "Today is a great day of joy for our four banners of the Dragon Tooth Pulse. I will host and treat everyone to a meal as a reward."

Everyone naturally agreed with smiles.

And while the Dragon Tooth Pulse's Sha Mo Peak was in an atmosphere of joy, the square on the Dragon Blood Pulse's Sha Mo Peak had an atmosphere that dropped to freezing point; not a single person among the tens of thousands in the entire square dared to speak.

Li Li Qingfeng raised his head, gazing at the Green Mist Banner which was first in the Sha Mo Cave, his face darkening terribly.

Behind him, Li Li Hongli and the Great Banner Leaders of the other three banners also had low spirits.

The loss of the top spot in the Sha Mo Cave obviously dealt a huge blow to their morale, for this was also the last shred of dignity, and with this shred of dignity torn away, the Dragon Blood Pulse was completely suppressed by the Green Mist Banner.

"You all look like you are mourning the death of your parents; for a moment, I thought the Sha Mo Cave had been turned into a place for mourning."

And just in this oppressive silence under the low pressure, suddenly an untimely laugh rang out. Immediately, many banner members angrily raised their heads, searching for who dared to be so presumptuous here.

Then their gaze saw a group of people walking in from outside the square.

This group possessed an extraordinary momentum; every single one had a sharp gaze, emitting a powerful energy pressure from their bodies. Especially the blood-red battle robes they wore made the banner members of the four banners of the Dragon Blood Pulse present exclaim: "Dragon Blood Guard?!"

Their gaze immediately turned to the figure at the very front, a youth with a tall and straight body, a handsome face, and slightly thin eyebrows like blades, emitting a sharp and aggressive aura.

Li Li Qingfeng and Li Li Hongli also looked upon hearing the sound, and when they saw that youth figure at the very front, they both were stunned.

Then Li Li Hongli's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, and a joyful voice rang out in the square.

"Cousin Wu Yuan?!"

And upon hearing the name she shouted, the atmosphere in the square instantly exploded; everyone remembered the youth before them.

Li Li Wuyuan, the Great Banner Leader of the Jin Blood Banner in the previous session, and also the Dragon Head of the twenty banners in the previous session!
