Chapter 0778: Startled Banners

Dragon's Fang Lineage, Fiendish Devil Peak

There was a lot of murmuring in the crowd standing before the Fiendish Devil Cave.

Every division had determined the victors in their respective battles. They had thus left the field to arrive before the hall to chat. Some were ecstatic, some were proud, others were dejected and depressed.action

Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao had naturally obtained victory, but they did not leave, only gathering their divisions to await outside the Fiendish Devil Hall. Their expressions were a little solemn as their gaze was focused upon the energy vortex at the main entrance to Fiendish Devil Peak.

They were anxiously awaiting Li Luo's results.

"Do you think he can win?" Li Fengyi frowned slightly as a look of worry could be seen on her fair and bright complexion.

Li Jingtao paused to think before replying, "Little Brother's talent is uncanny, but he has spent too much time in the outer divine continent. If he had a year and a half's worth of time to quietly cultivate, I think he would be able to eke out a victory."

Li Fengyi rolled her eyes. "What sort of crap are you spewing? Do you think I'm asking about the future?" Li Jingtao had always been left a little helpless when faced with this blunt Second Sister of his. "I think the key factor that will determine Li Luo's victory will be his mastery of the Nine Revolutions Art. The sheer power of a secret art is well known to both of us. Although there is a gap between him and Li Tong, utilizing Harmony will shrink the chasm between them, and victory will be decided by their methods."

Li Fengyi frowned again. "I heard that cultivating a Nine Revolutions Art is complicated. Even though he was able to learn it, he will still need a period of time to grasp and utilize it."

"You don't have to worry. The Dark Blood Banner is already stronger than the Green Nether Banner to begin with. Thus, if Little Brother loses, it would not put him under a lot of pressure. This could be treated as a training exercise, and our Lineages are at loggerheads with each other anyway. There will be no shortage of opportunities to challenge them in the future," Li Jingtao explained.

Li Fengyi sighed. "The Gold Light Banner has triumphed over the Dragon's Bone Lineage's Glass Bone Banner. Their momentum and power have strengthened once again. I do hope that Little Brother can regain some of our lost vigor in the future."

"If we, the older siblings, can't do so, how can we trouble our younger brother?" Li Jingtao grinned.

Li Fengyi's face turned red and she crossed her arms. "So what if that's the case? Our Little Brother is Third Uncle's son. Can't you expect more from him?" Looking at Li Fengyi's combative stance, Li Jingtao hurriedly sealed his mouth shut lest he found trouble when he didn't want to.

In an area not too far away, the Gold Light Banner members were currently the subject of countless envious individuals. Deng Fengxian was seated atop a rock recuperating, and his resonant power was boiling within his body. The previous fight was simply too exciting.

The Dragon's Bone Lineage's Glass Bone Banner was an impressive opponent. In fact, they had managed to suppress the Gold Light Banner in the past. It was only now that they had managed to regain the advantage.

Deng Fengxian looked at the entrance to Fiendish Devil Peak, and his gaze flickered when he discovered Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao. It seemed they were awaiting Li Luo's result.

"Boss, Li Fengyi seems to be hoping that the Green Nether Banner's fifth division will be victorious," a banner beside him mocked.

Another banner member laughed. "They are just indulging in their own personal fantasies. Let's not even talk about the sheer gap between their two divisions. Even if they are victorious, so what? It's not like we are in the past anymore. The Gold Light Banner reigns supreme in the Dragon's Fang Lineage. In another half a year, the Chief Banner Leader selection will begin, and that position is destined to be held by the Boss."

These words caused Deng Fengxian to only smile faintly. "If Li Luo is able to demonstrate uncanny ability, it would be a blessing for the Dragon's Fang Lineage. When I become the Chief Banner Leader and clash against the other four Lineages, I will need capable subordinates that are able to fight."

"Haha, the Boss is truly farsighted," the rest praised.

Meanwhile, the Green Nether Banner was currently gathered on the right side of the main hall.

The atmosphere within the four divisions was a little depressing. Although some had managed to eke out a victory and others had lost, none had managed to make it through layer thirty-one.

The vanguard, the first division, was even more pitiful. They had lost to the Hurricane Horn Banner's first division.

Zhong Ling had a glum face and his eyes were furious.

They had challenged the Hurricane Horn Banner's first division countless times and always walked away the winners. But this time they had simply suffered too many casualties and their strength as a whole had eroded. As a result, the opponent was able to turn the tables.

Zhong Ling could feel that the glances from the other three divisions were filled with a sense of dissatisfaction. As the vanguard of the Green Nether Banner, the first division had received more benefits and advantages than the rest, having to bear the brunt of the banner's progress. However, it seemed as though he had not reaped the success they had wanted, and his own reckless decisions had given the Hurricane Horn Banner a chance to return the favor.

Although these gazes were discreet and indirect, Zhong Ling felt his heart twitching in discomfort.

It was all that damn Li Luo's fault. He infuriated him to the point that he had lost his sense of calm.

Still, things could be said to be alright. The fifth division was bound to lose, and his own disappointing results would not be as prominent then.

Just as he had these thoughts in mind, Fiendish Devil Peak's main hall roiled with energy undulations and shadows were shot out from it.

At that point in time, he saw more than a thousand individuals surge out from the distortion.

It was the Green Nether Banner's fifth division.

When they appeared, some of the banner members couldn't stop themselves from excitedly announcing the news. "The Green Nether Banner's fifth division emerged victorious over the Dark Blood Banner's third division! We've also managed to advance through layer thirty-one!"

As the members celebrated, their surroundings fell silent for a few moments. The numerous members of the different banners in the Dragon's Fang Lineage seemed a little taken aback before shock took over their expressions.

The Green Nether Banner's fifth division had beaten the Dark Blood Banner's third division?!!

The patiently waiting Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao were similarly surprised before they glanced at each other. Absolute joy surfaced from their very faces.

The members of the Gold Light Banner who were not far away were also completely shell shocked. Even Deng Fengxian's gaze narrowed when he heard the news.

The Green Nether Banner's second, third, and fourth division Sub Leaders couldn't believe their ears and even suspected that they might have misheard something. It was only when they glanced at each other and pinched themselves hard that they realized that this was the unadulterated truth.

Raucous cheers burst out amongst the banner.

However, there was one individual who had been drowned by the celebrations, his expression turning grim. Zhong Ling.

Ping!

Just as cheers resounded throughout the Dragon's Fang Lineage's Fiendish Devil Peak, on the Dragon's Blood Lineage side...

Li Lu furiously flung the teacup in his hand onto the floor, smashing it into pieces.

His gaze was full of unbridled wrath as he glared at the miserable Li Tong. A gloomy voice was transmitted through gritted teeth.

"You piece of complete trash. Did you just say you lost to the Green Nether Banner's fifth division?!" Silence reigned in the area as Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli, and Jin Ming were all frowning at this sight from their pavilion.
