Chapter 0816: Gathering of the Twenty Banners

With Lu Qingmei's arrival, Li Hongli's face turned chilly. Out of all the women in the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, the two that she disliked the most had appeared before her.

She despised Li Fengyi for her background. After all, Li Fengyi came from the direct bloodline in the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Her grandfather was the Lineage Chief and her father was the Hall Master of the Crimson Cloud Hall. Li Fengyi’s background could even be said to be above hers.

As for Lu Qingmei, she detested her for her exceptional natural talent. Although she was not of a direct bloodline, she had slowly climbed up to the top in the Dragon's Scale Lineage with her incredible ability. Li Qingfeng was the only person in the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages who could hold her down.

As Li Hongli watched Lu Qingmei walk over, she said, "What does this have to do with you?"

In terms of looks, Lu Qingmei was in no way inferior to Li Hongli. However, her temperament was completely different. Her short hair was neatly tucked behind her ears and she donned a tidy, long robe, presenting herself as extraordinarily heroic.

"I just wanted to remind you not to make a fool of yourself here. Don't be a disgrace, and don’t tarnish the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's reputation," Lu Qingmei replied lightly.

Hearing this, Li Hongli was enraged by Lu Qingmei's tone. However, she kept her anger in check and snorted coldly before turning around and walking into the golden palace.

With her departure, the tense atmosphere in the air gradually eased. The numerous gazes from the surroundings started to turn their attention away. Nonetheless, there were still some eyes glancing over at Lu Qingmei from time to time.

At this point, Lu Qingmei looked over at Li Fengyi as she said, "It seems like she always flares up whenever she sees you."

Li Fengyi pursed her lips and responded, "It’s the same with you. What a sensitive and narrow-minded woman."

Evidently, Li Fengyi and Lu Qingmei knew each other and got along fine. After all, Li Hongli and her tantrums had always forced them towards the same side.

After a casual chat, Lu Qingmei turned over to Li Luo. "We meet again, Banner Leader Li Luo."

Li Luo smiled and responded, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you, Banner Leader Lu Qingmei, for holding back last time. You had obviously won, but you still considered it a draw."

Lu Qingmei looked at Li Luo's handsome face and replied seriously, "You are really strong. Although you are only at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier, you have brought the Green Nether Banner to where it is today. If you were at the Fiend Body Tier, perhaps the Green Nether Banner would make it into the top five ranks. I look forward to a fight with you then, where we both won't have to hold back."

At this moment, her eyes became filled with a fevered passion for battle. Although she had emerged victorious back when the two banners clashed, she had clearly felt his potential and the looming threat he demonstrated.

This did not make her uncomfortable. Instead, she was looking forward to the challenge.

When he felt Lu Qingmei's burning desire for a battle, Li Luo let out a laugh. The lady in front of him was completely different from Li Hongli. The latter was a spoiled princess, whilst the former had a war-loving personality that would put even guys to shame.

“You think too highly of me, Banner Leader Lu Qingmei. I was just riding on the power of the Green Nether Banner's Harmony to pull us slightly closer. Without the Green Nether Banner, I am afraid I wouldn't even be able to take a few hits from you," Li Luo replied with a smile.

This was not a lie at all. At present, Li Luo was at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier, while Lu Qingmei was already at the Fiend Finisher Tier. There was a huge gap between them that was only narrowed due to grasping the power of Harmony. If they had faced off one-on-one, the gap would be unbearably wide.

Based on his own estimates, Li Luo would need to finish accumulating all his abstruse fiend lights and enter the Fiend Body Tier before he could hold his own against top talents like Deng Fengxian and Lu Qingmei.

He had no choice. The pits from having three resonant palaces were too deep...

As for what Li Luo had said, Lu Qingmei did not comment any further. Although what he had said was true, she could feel that he had hidden something in their previous fight.

Although the son of Li Taixuan had wasted many years in the outer divine continent, he still had aces hidden up his sleeve. As they were not very familiar with one another, she merely nodded politely before she led the Dragon's Scale Banner members into the inner area.

Li Luo, Li Fengyi, and Li Jingtao headed in too.

The lights in the gilded palace were dazzling. Crystal lamps hung in distinct layers, and the light illuminated the spacious hall without leaving a single blind spot.

Many had gathered in the grand hall. Bustling with noise, they formed small circles and chatted.

It was like a luxurious scene showcasing the upper class of society.

As soon as Li Luo and gang entered the grand hall, a waitress stepped forward and politely invited them to the back hall saying that Li Qingfeng was waiting for them.

The gang looked at each other for a moment before they followed along.action

Following closely behind the waitress, the gang walked across the brightly lit hallway into an exquisitely designed inner hall. As soon as they entered, they could see two rows of people already seated along a long table.

With a quick glance down the table, Li Luo could recognize some familiar faces among them. They were the opponents he had encountered during the battle among the banners in the Fiendish Devil Cave.

At this moment, a clear laugh came from the other end. "Hehe, Fengyi, Jingtao, you have finally arrived. We've been waiting."

Li Luo looked across the wide, long table and saw a young man laughing in the seat of the host, looking over at them.

The young man was tall and upright with a handsome face. With a sword hanging on each side of his waist, he spoke in a gentle tone and was clearly composed and confident. When he smiled, he exuded a sense of nobility that could not be concealed.

Even though the Banner Leaders of the Twenty Banners were all present, the focus in the whole room was all on this outstanding young man.

Li Luo understood immediately. Who would have such an authoritative presence apart from Banner Leader Li Qingfeng from the Gold Blood Banner?

There was an incredible air around him. It was no wonder he was deemed the leader of this generation of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

Hearing his words, Li Fengyi remained calm and merely nodded as she guided Li Luo and Li Jingtao to their seats.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng turned towards Li Luo and said with a smile, "You must be Banner Leader Li Luo from the Green Nether Banner, right? The Green Nether Banner has been on an ascent recently under your leadership."

Li Luo smiled and calmly responded, "Just some small fights here and there, nothing compared to the Gold Blood Banner under you, Banner Leader Li Qingfeng."

Li Hongli, who was sitting beside Li Qingfeng, raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "As expected from someone from the outer divine continent. At least you know where you stand."

The other Banner Leaders present caught onto her words immediately. Li Hongli was clearly targeting Li Luo with her sharp words. This was not surprising, considering the enmity from the previous generations.

Pa!

Before Li Luo could even react, Li Fengyi slammed her hand on the table as she glared angrily at Li Hongli. She could not hold back her anger any more after hearing those words. "You should be glad Li Luo only returned now. If he was back earlier, where would the Dragon's Blood Lineage even stand?"

Li Hongli merely laughed icily and responded, "What big words. If he had returned earlier, could he stand up to Brother Qingfeng?"

At this point, Li Luo held back Li Fengyi before she retorted any further. Li Hongli was really sly, always pitting him against the Dragon's Blood Lineage.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng also stopped Li Hongli from any further taunts with a wave of his hand. He smiled and said, "You two, always quarreling whenever you meet. We have serious business to discuss today, so let's stop this for now."

Hearing his words, Li Hongli hummed softly and stopped any further provocations.

Li Qingfeng looked over at everyone present with a smile on his face.

"I have invited everyone here today to discuss something important. It's regarding the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool tomorrow."
