Chapter 930: Li Wuyuan
"Third Brother, congratulations. After so many years, our Dragon Tooth Line has finally reached the top of the Evil Demon Cave again." Li Jingtao greeted Li Luo, his voice filled with joy. After all, the achievement Li Luo had attained had indeed greatly boosted the morale of the four banners of the Dragon Tooth Line.
The previous struggle for the Dragon Head only revealed Li Luo's own strength, but the Evil Demon Cave required collective effort. This indicated that the current Azure Underworld Banner's combat power had leapt to become the first among the twenty banners.
Of course, most importantly, this would certainly be a heavy blow to the four banners of the Dragon Blood Line. It was expected that for some time to come, the four banners of the Dragon Blood Line would restrain some of their usual arrogant pride.
Li Fengyi was also beaming with joy, her pretty face full of pride. She stepped forward to pat Li Luo on the shoulder, then said triumphantly to Li Fuling, "Cousin Fuling, the current Dragon Head of the twenty banners and the top of the Evil Demon Cave list are both from our Dragon Tooth Line. What do you think of this result?"
Li Fuling examined Li Luo, her gaze lingering on his face for a few seconds. From Li Luo's features, one could vaguely see traces of Li Taixuan, and Li Fuling had seen portraits of Li Taixuan many times at her mother's place.
Li Fuling would occasionally learn from her mother that when her mother was young and training within the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, she encountered a dangerous situation. It happened that she met Li Taixuan, who stepped in to save her. One could imagine that with Li Taixuan's appearance, temperament, and reputation, what kind of lethality that had for a young woman. After that, her mother's heart was imprinted with Li Taixuan's figure, but her mother naturally dared not express these feelings. After all, Li Taixuan was as brilliant as the scorching sun, and the women who admired him were as numerous as carp crossing a river.
After that, her mother was assigned a marriage by the elders of the family that she did not like. Although she forcibly lived with her father for a few years, they eventually separated. She grew up with her mother, and having been influenced by her since childhood, she naturally regarded Li Taixuan as an unparalleled heavenly person.
Coupled with the fact that she grew up later and entered the twenty banners and even the Dragon Tooth Guard, everything she came into contact with was about the legends of Li Taixuan, so that sense of worship reached its peak.
And now, seeing Li Taixuan's son, Li Luo, here, her mood was also exceptionally complicated.
Among these, not only did it not bring any closeness because of this special identity, but it even gave rise to a kind of inexplicable resistance.
In this world, who could compare to the unparalleled genius Li Taixuan? Even if this person was his bloodline, it was the same.
With complex thoughts, Li Fuling also smiled faintly: "Grand Banner Head Li Luo's talent is naturally excellent. Being able to win the top spot among the twenty banners is not something an ordinary person can do."
Although her inner emotions were complex, Li Fuling did not belittle Li Luo, because she also came out of the twenty banners and knew the quality of the twenty banners very well. It gathered many young elites in the Dragon Tooth Domain. If one insisted that Li Luo's top ranking had little substance, that would be insulting oneself instead.
Li Fengyi teased, "Then how does he compare to my Third Uncle?"
Li Fuling glared at her irritably and said, "Great House Master Li Taixuan is an unparalleled genius. Since him, there has been no one in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent who can compare to him. There are many Dragon Heads of the twenty banners, but Li Taixuan... there is only one."
At the end of her words, Li Fuling also glanced at Li Luo with a meaningful look.
Li Luo was a bit confused; these last words seemed a bit targeted, but the other party was praising his old man so much... Although within the Luo Lan Mansion, Li Luo had to compete with Li Taixuan for the third-place ranking in the family, he still gave the old man some face when outside.
So he showed a friendly smile and said, "Many thanks, Cousin, for your praise of my father."
Facing Li Luo's response, Li Fuling could only snort, not knowing what else to say.
Li Fengyi, on the side, was holding back laughter, feeling her stomach ache. Then she introduced to Li Luo: "This is Cousin Li Fuling. She was the head of the four banners of our Dragon Tooth Line in the previous generation and has now entered the Dragon Tooth Guard to cultivate. She will also participate in this Spirit Phase Cave Heaven."
At the same time, she also introduced several other people from the Dragon Tooth Guard. These people were all elites who had walked out of the four banners of the Dragon Tooth Line in the previous generation.
Li Luo glanced at two of them: the previous Grand Banner Head of the Golden Light Banner, Lu Ze, and the previous Grand Banner Head of the Azure Underworld Banner, Li Xuan.
Lu Ze returned a smile, while Li Xuan, with a slightly complex expression, cupped his hands and said, "Back then, the Great House Master achieved the highest glory for the Azure Underworld Banner. Now, Grand Banner Head Li Luo has helped the Azure Underworld Banner restore its former glory. This can be considered a fine story."
Li Luo smiled: "It is also because the previous Grand Banner Heads of the Azure Underworld Banner tried their best to maintain it, which allowed the Azure Underworld Banner to still maintain hope under the special situation of the Azure Underworld House. Otherwise, even a clever housewife would find it hard to cook without rice."
Li Luo knew Li Xuan's state of mind. After all, compared to the achievements he had now attained in the Azure Underworld Banner, Li Xuan, the Grand Banner Head of the previous generation, truly appeared mediocre, so he also showed a bit of humility to avoid stimulating the other party.
Li Xuan said with shame: "Grand Banner Head Li Luo has outstanding talent. I imagine that after entering the Dragon Tooth Guard, you will definitely stand out. By then, perhaps you will be able to win some face for our Azure Underworld Banner in the Dragon Tooth Guard."
Li Luo shook his head: "The Dragon Tooth Guard gathers elites and geniuses from several generations. How could I have such ability? Now it is just a case of 'no tigers in the mountains, so the monkey is king'."
Li Fengyi curled her lips and said, "Hypocritical. You are the monkey, then what are we?"
Li Luo was helpless. Shouldn't he be humble? Should he just say that the Dragon Tooth Guard is full of a bunch of blockheads, all waiting for me, Li Luo, to dominate them in the future?
Li Fuling stared at Li Luo and suddenly asked, "Grand Banner Head Li Luo, I heard from Fengyi that you are very familiar with Li Lingjing? Is she also in the Dragon Tooth Mountain Range now?"
Hearing her ask about Li Lingjing, Li Luo was also a bit surprised and said, "Cousin Fuling knows Cousin Lingjing?"
Li Fuling said: "Of course I know her. After all, we are from the same generation. She had quite a reputation in that generation of the Dragon Tooth Line. I had always been looking forward to competing with her after she came to the four banners, but unfortunately..."
Li Luo nodded slightly and said, "Cousin Lingjing can be considered to have found a blessing in disguise. Her strength has now recovered, and she will also participate in this Spirit Phase Cave Heaven."
"That is something to look forward to." A look of eagerness appeared in Li Fuling's eyes.
Li Fengyi laughed on the side: "Today is a joyous day for the four banners of our Dragon Tooth Line. I will host and treat everyone to food and drink as a reward."
Everyone naturally smiled and agreed.
And while the Evil Demon Peak of the Dragon Tooth Line was in a joyous atmosphere, the atmosphere on the square of the Evil Demon Peak of the Dragon Blood Line had dropped to freezing point. Not a single person among the tens of thousands on the entire square dared to speak.
Li Qingfeng raised his head and looked at the Azure Underworld Banner, which was first in the Evil Demon Cave, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.
Behind him, Li Hongli and the other three Grand Banner Heads also had low expressions.
The loss of the top spot in the Evil Demon Cave had clearly dealt a huge blow to their morale. After all, this could be considered their last fig leaf, and with the tearing away of this fig leaf, the Dragon Blood Line was completely suppressed by the Azure Underworld Banner.
"The way you all look like you're mourning makes me wonder for a moment when the Evil Demon Cave was changed into a place for mourning."
And just in this oppressive silence of low pressure, a sudden, untimely laugh rang out. Immediately, many banner members raised their heads in anger, searching for who dared to be so presumptuous here.
Then their eyes saw a group of people walking in from outside the square.
This group of people had an extraordinary aura. Each one of them had sharp eyes and emitted a powerful energy pressure from their bodies. Especially the blood-red battle robes they wore made the members of the four banners of the Dragon Blood Line present exclaim: "Dragon Blood Guard?!"
Their eyes were cast at the first moment toward the figure at the very front. It was a tall and straight young man with a handsome face and slightly thin eyebrows, like a blade, emitting a sharp and aggressive aura.
Li Qingfeng and Li Hongli also heard the sound and looked over, and when they saw that young figure at the very front, they were all stunned.
Then Li Hongli's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, and a joyful voice rang out in the square.
"Cousin Wuyuan?!"
And hearing the name she called out, the atmosphere in the square suddenly exploded. Everyone remembered the young man in front of them.
Li Wuyuan, the Grand Banner Head of the previous Golden Blood Banner, and also the... Dragon Head of the previous twenty banners!
