Chapter 931: Targeting

The sound of boiling, clamorous noise spread across the plaza in front of the Evil-Slaying Cave of the Dragon Bloodline, and the eyes of the members of the four banners of the Dragon Bloodline were all filled with fervor and worship as they looked at the tall, straight-backed young man.

Li Wuyuan, the Dragon Head of the previous generation of the Twenty Banners!

At a time when the morale of the four banners of the Dragon Bloodline was at its lowest, the appearance of Li Wuyuan undoubtedly gave the present banner members a sudden boost in morale.

"Long time no see, Cousin Hongli has become even more beautiful and moving. Once you enter the Dragon Blood Guard in the future, I fear you will attract quite a few admirers," Li Wuyuan said with a smile toward Li Hongli.

Li Hongli gave a sweet smile in return.

Li Wuyuan then looked at Li Qingfeng, who had been silent at the side, and said, "Cousin Qingfeng, the prestige that the Gold Blood Banner has built up over several sessions has been completely lost under your watch this time."

The words were plain, yet sharp.

Li Qingfeng remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

"The matter of your failure in the Dragon Head competition has already reached the Dragon Blood Guard. Many colleagues there have quite a few complaints about it. After all, the Dragon Bloodline is the most prestigious of the five lineages; we must maintain suppression over the other four lineages at every level at all times to ensure our Dragon Bloodline retains the authority to hold the mountain," Li Wuyuan continued.

His words were quite heavy, because those elites in the Dragon Blood Guard were almost considered the new generation of high-level figures of the Dragon Bloodline; Li Qingfeng losing performance points there would also have some impact on his future.

Li Qingfeng revealed a bitter expression and said, "It is my incompetence that lost the prestige accumulated by the Dragon Bloodline over the years."

At this moment, arguing was useless; after all, the failure of the Dragon Head competition was not far off, and especially with the changes in the Evil-Slaying Cave rankings, Li Qingfeng knew that the current Li Luo already had the momentum to rise.

He was already completely unable to suppress Li Luo any longer.

Li Hongli hurriedly helped Li Qingfeng defend himself, saying, "Cousin Wuyuan, this cannot be blamed on Cousin Qingfeng. It was all that Li Luo... the failure in the Dragon Head competition was only because Cousin Qingfeng chose the wrong 'Dragon Blood Balance Art'; otherwise, it would be hard to say who would have had the last laugh."

Li Wuyuan said, "Cousin Hongli, no matter what the reason is, the fact that Li Luo is the Dragon Head of the Twenty Banners for this session cannot be changed."

Li Hongli bit her red lip lightly, and a look of dejection soon appeared on her face. She also understood that those previous words were just sophistry. Although Li Luo did not truly fight Li Qingfeng with all his strength, the fact that he later defeated the energy image of Li Taixuan was enough to prove that his true strength was not at all inferior to Li Qingfeng's.

Therefore, even if Li Qingfeng had not used the "Dragon Blood Balance Art," he might not have been able to defeat Li Luo in the end.

And it was precisely this fact that made Li Hongli quite unwilling to accept it, or rather, unwilling to admit it... She did not want to admit that the "country bumpkin" who returned from the Outer Divine Province could actually create such an astonishing miracle in this short period of less than a year.

Because Li Luo's brilliance would highlight their incompetence.

From her elders, she knew many deeds of how Li Taixuan had suppressed his generation back then, leaving his peers breathless. Could it be that the events of the past were going to repeat themselves with Li Luo?

And this time, the victims would be those of them in the same generation.

Li Wuyuan said indifferently, "However, there is no need to be so dejected. The prestige of the Dragon Bloodline is forged generation after generation. Even someone as strong as Li Taixuan back then only changed the situation for a time; in the end, with his departure, everything returned to its original state."

"And if that is the case for Li Taixuan, what can a Li Luo do?"

"Cousin Qingfeng, it is just a temporary defeat, do not lose your sharpness. Li Luo may have good talent, but our Dragon Bloodline has a stronger foundation. The 'lineage that holds the mountain' is not just empty talk."

"Their Dragon Tooth Lineage has always been suppressed by our Dragon Bloodline, whether in the Twenty Banners or the Heavenly Dragon Five Guards..."

He looked at Li Qingfeng and said in a leisurely tone, "If you seize the opportunity of the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, it is not impossible for you to surpass him again. Moreover, even if you cannot, the Dragon Bloodline still has us..."

Hearing these words, Li Hongli asked with some surprise, "Cousin Wuyuan, are you planning to?"

Li Wuyuan said slowly, "Leaving the Dragon Blood Guard this time, the various senior brothers and sisters entrusted me to tell that Cousin Li Luo, if I have the chance, to let him know who is truly supreme within the Heavenly Dragon Five Lineages."

His eyes were indifferent, but his brows were filled with a sharp and overbearing aura.

Back then, Li Taixuan's rise led to the growing momentum of that generation of the Dragon Tooth Lineage. Later, when Li Taixuan entered the Dragon Tooth Guard, he was unstoppable, even alarming those Dragon Heads with higher seniority in the Dragon Blood Guard. Afterward, there were many competitions with him. At the beginning, Li Taixuan could still be suppressed, but as time passed, even the oldest Dragon Heads in the Dragon Blood Guard began to feel powerless, and facing the rising Li Taixuan, they could only retreat.

Thus, that generation of the Dragon Tooth Guard had an unrivaled momentum.

Later, the Dragon Blood Guard reflected on this, believing that if they had paid attention to the threat posed by Li Taixuan earlier and suppressed his sharpness early on, preventing him from brewing that invincible, sweeping momentum, Li Taixuan might not have been able to have such brilliance in the end.

Li Taixuan, this peerless divine weapon, was sharpened using them as whetstones.

With this lesson from the past, the Dragon Blood Guard decided that if there was a chance, they still had to suppress that Li Luo. As long as they suppressed him for some time, and since this child had wasted so many years in the Outer Divine Province, once his period of rapid progress passed, he might not be able to explode with such astonishing potential in the future.

In this way, the potential threat would be neutralized.

"Cousin Wuyuan, if you take action, I fear the people from the Dragon Tooth Guard will block you," Li Hongli said.

Li Wuyuan curled his lips in disdain and said, "I don't know how many times I have defeated the Great Banner Leaders of the previous generation of the Dragon Tooth Lineage; who among them can stop me? Moreover, I will not go too far, just let that Li Luo restrain himself a bit."

"It is perfectly normal for young people to compete and fight. Could it be that Li Luo would go to the Lineage Head of the Dragon Tooth Lineage to cry and complain? If that were the case, wouldn't he become the laughingstock of the five lineages?"

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about him for now."

He stepped forward twice, put his arm around Li Qingfeng's shoulder, and smiled, "No need to be dejected, it is just a temporary failure. Before the absolute foundation of our Dragon Bloodline, that Li Luo is merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"Let's go. It is rare to return to the mountain this time; let's go to the 'Great Dragon Tower' for a feast. Life in the Dragon Blood Guard is bitter all day long, with heavy and dangerous tasks; it is rare to have such a relaxing time."

Li Qingfeng gave a bitter smile and could only let him pull him along, calling friends and gathering a large group to head down the Evil-Slaying Peak.

As for the intention of suppression from the Dragon Blood Guard, Li Luo was unaware of it, and even if he truly knew, he would only laugh it off. It was perfectly normal for young people to compete and fight; if he really couldn't beat them, he would just pull out the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf.

At this time, Li Luo, after feasting with Li Fuling, Li Fengyi, and others, returned to the small building where he lived.

Back in his room, sitting on the bed, he did not rest but stretched out his palm.

The space ball on his wrist flashed with strange light, a stream of light darted out, and then a deep cyan, perfectly round spirit pill appeared.

The spirit pill emitted a wonderful, exotic fragrance; just by smelling it, his mind seemed to become ethereal.

This spirit pill was the greatest harvest from Li Luo clearing the sixty-third floor of the Evil-Slaying Cave.

Spirit-Enlightening Pill.
