Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun momentarily glanced at each other. Then they also took a step forward and released their Duke Bergfrieds, which sucked in worldly natural energy ravenously.
However, they did not help Li Jinpan out. Their attentive gazes were directed towards a mountaintop in the distance. A large group of people had gathered over there. At the front were three who possessed extremely strong resonant power.
They were the other Dukes from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. One of them was a seventh-grade Duke while the other two were sixth-grade. The three Dukes from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao laughed out coldly when they saw the Duke Bergfrieds of Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun. They flew up into the air, and their Duke Bergfrieds materialized in response.
At the same time, the thousands of people on the mountaintop also stepped up. Thousands of strands of energy fused together into a majestic pool of resonant power that then surged up into the air. In the blink of an eye, this energy transformed into a ferocious, giant tiger.
The people at the front flew up into the air. Their leader was a handsome young man with long hair. He had one hand behind his back as he glanced over at the Dragon's Fang Guardians. He said with a smile, "I am Zhao Jiyun, a Divine Tiger Envoy of the Divine Tiger Guardians. I heard that the Dragon's Fang Guardians has a newly appointed Dragon Fang Envoy that has a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. I wonder if this is true?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As soon as he finished speaking, resonant power similarly gathered up in response amongst the Dragon's Fang Guardians. All of it was focused on Jiang Qing'e as she leapt into the air with the heavy sword in hand.
She had no interest in exchanging pointless words; she simply pointed her heavy sword towards him. The sword glowed brightly as energy condensed around it.
A perfect Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried appeared above her head, lighting up everything within hundreds of miles. This attracted countless shocked gazes from those watching.
Both sides had just met each other, yet they were already baring their fangs in this confrontation.
The atmosphere had reached its boiling point instantly.
As the two Heavenly Emperor powers prepared to fight each other, there were some curious gazes watching from yet another mountaintop in the distance.
They were all wearing robes emblazoned with the Golden Dragon Bank's insignia, indicating their affiliation.
"A Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried... What formidable talent. But I wonder, how many of those can she forge? Many people throughout history have exhausted all of their potential for simply a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. In the end, they slowly fell from grace," a girl in the middle of the group said with a light chuckle. Her hair was light blue, she had a slender figure, and her long skirt outlined her attractive curves. Her skin was white like snow, giving one a faint sense of coolness.
Her facial features were delicate and her overall looks were breathtaking.
On her side, a man suddenly said to her, "Second Mistress, Li Luo is the one with grayish-white hair, standing behind the one with the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried."
This man was familiar—it was Mu Yao, the one who had been utterly thrashed by Li Luo back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave.
His background was exceptional, with his grandfather being one of the Grand Elders of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent’s Golden Dragon Bank.
The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked over at Li Luo, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corners of her lips. "Oh? So that’s Li Luo, the guy that my sister misses so much?"
"Yes, Second Mistress. He is Li Luo."
Mu Yao's gaze was affixed on Li Luo with hidden hostility. Back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, he had lost to Li Luo and was unable to complete his mission. His actions had also left him on the wrong side of Lu Qing'er as he had offended her without obtaining any benefits. It caused quite a bit of commotion back in the headquarters of the Golden Dragon Bank, causing inconveniences for his grandfather.
Fortunately, they were able to join another internal faction in Golden Dragon Mountain. This allowed them to retain their power and his grandfather wasn't transferred away. However, it still had a significant impact on their lineage.
"He's quite handsome; it's no wonder my sister misses him so much." The girl with snow-white skin chuckled.
"From our latest intelligence report, Li Luo is already at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier and his Heavenly Resonance Diagram is over 80,000 feet. He has triple resonant palaces and six resonances, namely the waterlight resonance, the woodearth resonance, and a Thunder Dragon resonance. His waterlight resonance has reached the ninth-grade, the woodearth resonance is at the eighth-grade, and his Thunder Dragon resonance is at the seventh-grade. However, he possesses a special ability to temporarily raise his Thunder Dragon resonance to the ninth-grade for a short period of time. My guess is that this is due to the True Dragon Pill from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li," Mu Yao reported quickly.
"It seems like you're also very interested in him," the girl teased playfully.
Mu Yao remained silent. He had truly suffered in the hands of Li Luo back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, so it was only natural for him to harbor some hatred. However, Li Luo’s cultivation progress was simply shocking. Mu Yao was stronger when they first met, but he lost in the end due to external aid. Now they were both at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, but the foundation of his Heavenly Resonance Diagram was far weaker than Li Luo's.
In fact, it seemed that Li Luo had defeated an upper first-grade Duke of the Dragon's Blood Guardians with just his Greater Heavenly Resonance strength.
Such a battle achievement was definitely leagues ahead of his peers.
"It must have been Eldest Sister that ordered you to obstruct my sister, is that right?" the girl suddenly asked.
Mu Yao gave her an embarra.s.sed smile. He did not dare to say too much in front of her. The main factions in Golden Dragon Mountain were known as the three families and seven peaks. They formed the core powers of the Golden Dragon Bank. The three families were, respectively, the Lu, Zhang, and Qian families. This appeared cliche, but these families formed the foundation of the Golden Dragon Bank to move around the ten Great Divine Continents without obstruction.
Lu Qing'er and Lu Shuanglu, the girl in front of him now, belonged to the Lu family.
They were the ones who held the bulk of the power in Golden Dragon Mountain at the moment. Their influence was the greatest.
As for Mu Yao's grandfather, he was supported by the family behind this so-called Eldest Sister.
Looking at Mu Yao's awkward smile, Lu Shuanglu did not ask any further. She grinned happily and said, "My sister Qing'er is quite remarkable. When she first arrived, everyone thought that she was just a spoiled girl raised in a barren outer divine continent. However, they all underestimated her. She has established a connection with the Holy Permafrost Seed in less than a year, and her affinity with it is far beyond that of anyone to date. There are even rumors within the lineage that perhaps the Lu family's Holy Permafrost Seed will evolve into a Genesis Seed in her hands."
Mu Yao was startled when he heard this. Wasn't this the sort of secret that could not be shared with outsiders like him? On the other hand, was Lu Qing'er truly at such an advanced stage already?
She was clearly raised in an outer divine continent, so how had she surpa.s.sed all the other talents that were raised in Golden Dragon Mountain?
Lu Shuanglu chuckled before she continued, "I heard that this was all part of my Fifth Uncle's plan. He limited her potential with a secret art as soon as she was born, hoping that one day she would fully blossom and reach even greater heights. All these years, he did not try to bring Lu Qing'er to Golden Dragon Mountain. He left her with her mother, allowing her to grow up happily in a remote outer divine continent."
"That's a bit too unbelievable!" Mu Yao exclaimed in shock.
If the affinity that Lu Qing'er had with the Holy Permafrost Seed was because of this secret art, it would be terrifying.
Lu Shuanglu paused for a moment, then she calmly replied, "Who knows? It might even have involved the Ancestor."
Mu Yao's eyes were filled with horror. Naturally, he knew who the Ancestor Lu Shuanglu was referring to was. Who else could it be except for Heavenly Emperor Lu?
"Second Mistress, why are you telling me all this?" Mu Yao asked.
Lu Shuanglu smiled and replied, "I just wanted you to share this knowledge with your grandfather. It's better not to get involved, or you'll be doomed before you know it."
Mu Yao pondered quietly for a few moments. "I understand. Thank you, Second Mistress."
Lu Shuanglu did not speak any further about this matter. She then looked at Li Luo in the distance and asked with interest, "Sister Qing'e seems to be really concerned about that guy.”
“Li Luo already has a fiancee. In fact, it's that girl with the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried," Mu Yao said.
