Chapter 1226: Wen Xuan

Li Luo stopped in his tracks and looked at Li Hongque with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. This was the first the had seen the sister that Li Hongyou hated.

The three sisters were attractive in their own ways. Li Hongque gave off the aura of a delicate beauty, but her oval-shaped face with a slightly pointed chin gave her the appearance of being a little mean.

"I believe this is our first tmeeting. We shouldn't have much to talk about if that's the case?" Li Luo replied with a smile.

Li Hongque stared back at Li Luo. The young man truly was handsome, and his grayish-white hair gave him a special kind of charm. However, her eyes remained cold as Li Luo had truly brought her quite a bit of trouble.

If Li Hongyou had joined the Dragon's Fang Guardians, her family would’ve becthe talk of the town in the Dragon's Blood Lineage. Their father was surely going to be extremely furious when he learned about what had happened.

As such, Li Hongque calmly said, "This may be our first meeting, but I am sure that bitch Li Hongyou has already badmouthedin front of you, Grand Commander Li Luo."

Li Luo frowned a little when he heard this. "Grand Commander Li Hongque, please watch your words. Senior Hongyou has not ridiculed you in front of me. She has only spoken of the history behind the two of you."

Li Hongque was so direct that it was making Li Luo feel a little uncomfortable. Even Li Hongli, with her straightforward personality, wasn't so blunt.

It seemed like Li Hongque's temper was the worst among the three sisters.

Anger flashed in Li Hongque's eyes when she heard this. "Grand Commander Li Luo, I will not waste your time. Li Hongyou is my sister, and she belongs to the Dragon's Blood Lineage. She cannot join the Dragon's Fang Guardians. I hope that you can hand her over and letbring her back to the Dragon's Blood Lineage."

Li Luo responded calmly, "I am the one who brought Senior Hongyou here. I'll naturally stand by her no matter what. If you want her, ask your Lineage Chief to speak with my grandfather."

Li Hongque's face turned completely dark when she heard this. Who did he think the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Blood Lineage was? Let alone her, not even her father would be able to ask him to do anything.

"Grand Commander Li Luo, won't you give it a second thought? You may be the beloved grandson of the Dragon's Fang Lineage's Lineage Chief, but things do not work like that in the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies. If you make Li Hongyou stay in the Dragon's Fang Guardians, the Dragon's Blood Guardians will not take this lying down." Li Hongque's attempt at persuasion was faintly becoming a threat.

Li Luo took another glance at Li Hongque. He suddenly grinned and replied, "Actually, it's not totally out of the question. I was just looking at Duke Arts, and one from the Dragon's Blood Lineage caught my eye. If you can get that for me, perhaps I'll give it a second thought?"

"Which Duke Art?" Li Hongque was delighted when Li Luo softened his stance. However, she was still careful with her words.

Li Luo smiled back warmly. "I believe it was the Dragon Blood Atavism Art."

Hearing this, Li Hongque's face froze up immediately. Then she flew into a furious rage. How could she not know about the Dragon Blood Atavism Art as the Grand Commander of the Dragon's Blood Guardians? It was the most prized Duke Art in the entire Dragon's Blood Lineage.

An upper Destiny-grade Duke Art!

Everyone in the Dragon's Blood Guardians desired it with all their hearts!

She knew straight away that Li Luo was simply toying with her!

"If you're unwilling, let's forget about it."

Li Luo smirked. He disregarded Li Hongque, lifted his foot, and continued walking out.

Li Hongque's face was completely pale as she clenched her fists tightly. She felt incomparably frustrated.

Just as Li Luo was about to walk past them, the individual that was standing beside Li Hongque stretched out his hands and stopped Li Luo in his tracks, glaring at him coldly. "Grand Commander Li Luo, isn't this a little too much?"

Li Luo took a glance at him. "Who are you?"

He had a skinny frame, but his eyes radiated a sense of fierceness. It seemed he had a vicious personality as well.

"The Fourth Grand Commander of the Dragon's Blood Guardians, Li Qingbai."

The guy smirked a little and continued, "Speaking of which, I happen to be in the sposition as you, Fourth Grand Commander Li Luo. I strongly advise you to consider the First Grand Commander's proposal. If not, we will meet in the Ceremony of Ascent in half a month. As we're in the srank, the martial arts section may beca stage for the two of us to perform on." Li Qingbai smiled viciously.

"Currently, I am an upper first-grade Duke."

"Are you threatening me?" Li Luo understood his intention immediately.

"It's not really a threat. The martial arts display is merely part of the Ceremony of Ascent. However, the Dragon's Fang Guardians truly made an interesting decision when they gave the Grand Commander position to someone at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier like you."

Li Qingbai smiled mockingly. "It seems like your background as the beloved grandson has helped elevate your position in the Dragon's Fang Guardians. Li Foluo is truly a disappointment. How could he ignore the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies' ironclad rule set by the Ancestor just because he wants to bootlick the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage?"

He was under the assumption that Li Foluo had agreed to let Li Luo take on the position of Grand Commander just because of his background.

Nonetheless, Li Luo remained unfazed. He looked at the threatening stare from Li Qingbai and responded with a grin, "It seems like I'll have to start looking forward to the Ceremony of Ascent."

Li Qingbai's eyes turned icy. Li Luo’s response was clearly a challenge.

What a joke. Li Luo, a mere Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator, was challenging an upper first-grade Duke to a fight? Completely ridiculous. Although he had checked Li Luo's achievements in the past and knew that they were impressive, how would he close up the gap between the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier and the Duke Stage so easily?

Li Qingbai wanted to rebut him further, but the sounds of footsteps cfrom behind. A female voice followed after it. "Li Hongque, Li Qingbai, when will the Dragon's Blood Guardians stop bullying people with numbers? When can you fix that despicable behavior of yours?"

Hearing this, Li Hongque and Li Qingbai frowned and turned their heads. They hadn’t noticed that two girls had appeared behind them.

The one in front was tall and delicate. Her curves were shocking and her hair was long and silver. It was done in a long braid that reached her hips.

Behind her was an even prettier girl that Li Luo recognized.

Lu Qingmei.

"Wen Xuan, why are you such a busybody? How's this related to the Dragon's Scale Guardians?" Li Hongque snorted coldly when she saw the two girls.

The silver-haired girl was Wen Xuan, the First Grand Commander of the Dragon's Scale Guardians.

Wen Xuan smiled at her. "I simply saw two Dukes blocking the way of a junior. I just couldn't stand the injustice. What are you going to do, then?"

Then she winked at Li Luo and chuckled. "Grand Commander Li Luo, I heard from Little Lu that you helped the Dragon's Scale Lineage’s four banners in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Let’s see what Li Hongque will dare to do to you now."

Li Luo did not expect the Grand Commander of the Dragon's Scale Guardians to appear so suddenly. Fortunately, she seemed to be on his side. He gave her a friendly smile and waved to Lu Qingmei. "Banner Leader Lu, it's been a while."

Lu Qingmei smiled back. "You are truly a rule breaker. You caused a huge commotion as soon as you joined the Dragon's Fang Guardians."

It seemed like the news that the Dragon's Fang Guardians had a new Grand Commander that was only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier had spread across the Five Guardian Armies. Li Luo smiled and turned back towards Li Qingbai. "Can you please step aside? I am afraid something bad will happen to you later if you don't."

Li Qingbai's eyes turned even colder. "Are you getting cocky just because Grand Commander Wen Xuan is here?"

Li Luo sighed. "No, it's because my fiancee is here. She is not like me—she won't waste ttalking to others."

Li Hongque and Li Qingbai were taken aback by his comment.

Before they could react, a radiant, blinding light burst forth. The pure and concentrated light resonant power was like a giant sun rising.

Along with it, a beam of sword energy filled with light resonant power flew by with indescribable divine and purifying power. Before Li Hongque and Wen Xuan got over their shock, the sword energy struck Li Qingbai directly.

He hastily attempted to shield himself with his resonant power, but it was completely purified and disintegrated in an instant.

Another second ticked by.

Li Qingbai was knocked back pathetically and crashed against the rows of shelves behind him.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Li Hongque, Wen Xuan, and Lu Qingmei slowly turned their heads after they recovered from the shock. An unbelievable beauty was standing in a corner not too far away, a heavy sword in her hands. Her face remained completely calm as she slowly walked over.
