Absolute Resonance Chapter 1212: Identity Exposed

"The Green Nether Hall's Hall Master?"

Li Zhiqiu was taken aback. He had been in Heavenly Dragon Peak for close to two years, so he wasn't aware of the changes in the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Based on his memory, the Green Nether Hall's Hall Master position had always been left empty.

"This is the Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall, Li Luo," Li Foluo answered as he pointed at Li Luo.

Li Luo looked back at him and said in an indifferent tone, "I didn't expect to meet you again, Li Zhiqiu."

Li Zhiqiu was stunned for a while when he saw Li Luo's face. He frowned and asked in disbelief, "It's you?"

Clearly, he remembered what had happened in the past.

“How did this brat become the Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall? His strength is clearly not fit for such a position. Is the Dragon's Fang Lineage going crazy?

“What's the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage thinking? Doesn't he always follow the rules?”

Li Zhiqiu's face turned stiff. Previously, he had rushed over to meet Li Luo before Li Rouyun as he wanted to trick him out of his Heavenly Emperor's Writ. He might not have been able to use it for himself, but he could have handed it over to the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Blood Lineage for a reward.

Unfortunately, Li Luo had not fallen for his trickery.

"And the girl from back then too."

Li Zhiqiu had noticed Jiang Qing'e. His eyes turned serious. The pulses of resonant power coming from her were those that only a Duke could have.

In other words, Jiang Qing'e was already a Duke.

He knew about the sacrificial ignition of Jiang Qing'e's Heart of Light from their previous encounter. “She should barely be alive. How is she at the Duke Stage now?”

Li Zhiqiu's eyes flashed. He could sense the animosity behind Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's gazes. Without a doubt, they had held onto the grudges from back then.

This made him feel a little frustrated. Who knew that those two worthless kids would turn out like this?

Although he knew about Li Luo's ident.i.ty as the Third Young Master, he was far too weak back then. Based on his estimates, Li Luo would need a long time of cultivation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage before he was given any authority. Who knew that the rule-abiding Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage would break the rules for him?

Now one of them was the Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall, giving him higher authority than himself. The other had become a Duke at such a young age. Her talent and potential were extraordinary.

Fortunately, they were all from the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

He was from the Dragon's Blood Lineage, so he did not have to cower before them.

Li Zhiqiu's face gradually returned to normal. He looked at Li Foluo and answered, "I will report this to the higher-ups. They will send people over to investigate this matter."

At this point, he appeared to recall something and asked, "Did Hall Master Li Luo come here to join the Dragon's Fang Guardians?"

Li Foluo nodded. A smile appeared on his cold and serious face as he replied, "Hall Master Li Luo has brought two strong fighters along to help us. Jiang Qing'e has a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried while Li Hongyou possesses a lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance."

"What? Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried?!" Li Zhiqiu's face completely changed once again. He stared at the stunning Jiang Qing'e in disbelief. As a seventh-grade Duke, he knew very well what a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried signified—the beginning of the Path of Ascension. It was a sign of Jiang Qing'e's talent and potential.

Originally, he was shocked that Jiang Qing'e had entered the Duke Stage, but he was still a seventh-grade Duke, so there was no reason for him to be afraid. However, things would be completely different if she had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.

She walked a completely different road from the others.

She could overtake all and reach the sky in a single step.

Since ancient times, this had been a legendary path that was uniquely reserved for those with extraordinary talent within a generation.

If Jiang Qing'e progressed just a little on her Path of Ascension, it could be enough to become a serious threat to him.

"And a lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance. With the addition of these two, the strength of the Dragon's Fang Guardians will increase significantly." Li Zhiqiu took a look at Li Hongyou. The latter was not as shocking as Jiang Qing'e with her Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, but he understood the gigantic impact such a rare and precious support resonance could bring.

His heart trembled a little. The Dragon's Blood Guardians had been the strongest amongst the Five Guardian Armies for years. His younger brother had been eyeing the position of the Grand Guardian General as well. Now that Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou had come into the picture, how would things change?

Li Zhiqiu did not want things to go awry. After all, the position of Grand Guardian General was connected to the Lesser Sacred Seeds. Their lineage had poured endless amounts of resources into Li Zhihuo for this purpose.

"I'd like to congratulate the Dragon's Fang Guardians, then." Li Zhiqiu's heart was torn, but a smile remained on his face.

Li Foluo smiled lightly and nodded.

Meanwhile, Li Luo was enjoying himself as he observed the changes on Li Zhiqiu's face. Suddenly, he felt a stare coming from the group of people that were following Li Zhiqiu.

Li Luo followed the gaze and saw a familiar, beautiful face.

Li Hongli.

She had joined the Dragon's Blood Guardians.

However, Li Hongyou's gaze did not stop at Li Luo for long. After hearing a certain name, she felt a little shocked and then looked over at Li Hongyou.

Looking at the vaguely familiar face, memories surfaced in her mind.

The shock in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Li Hongyou had noticed Li Hongli earlier, but her eyes remained calm. She knew that this was bound to happen after she came to the Dragon's Fang Guardians. She just did not expect it to be so soon.

She had not even entered Heavenly Dragon Peak, yet she had already met a familiar face.

"Hongli, what's wrong?"

Li Zhiqiu asked curiously when he noticed the dumbfounded Li Hongli. He was about to leave at this point.

Then he noticed that Li Hongli was staring straight at the girl with the lower ninth-grade Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance.

"Sister Hongyou, is it really you?"

Li Hongli’s words roused many surprised gazes from the crowd. When they looked at Li Hongli and Li Hongyou, they realized that they looked pretty similar.

"Li Hongyou, Li Hongli..."

When Li Fengyi repeated the words, she finally caught onto it. She asked in astonishment, "Are... are the two of you sisters?"

If Li Hongyou was Li Hongli’s sister, that meant she belonged to the Dragon's Blood Lineage. Why was she joining the Dragon's Fang Guardians?

Li Zhiqiu was also taken aback for a moment. He turned and asked, "Hongli, you know her?"

Li Hongli stared at Li Hongyou with a puzzled look. She hesitated for a while before answering, "She... she's my sister. However, she left the Dragon's Blood Lineage with her mother a long time ago. There was no news of them all this while, and I never expected to meet her here."
