Chapter 0825: Head of the Five Lineages

On the next day, the entire Dragon's Blood Mountain Range was lively with colorful decorations and the sound of drums flooding the place.

As for Dragon Blood Mountain situated in the center, people had been cheering since the early morning with streams of light s.h.i.+ning around the place. Guests from all over the place had been gathering under Dragon Blood Mountain with their gifts, awaiting the arrival of their host to present them to him.

It was a splendid, grand scene with thousands of guests coming forth to congratulate the Lineage Chief.

As for the people from the Dragon's Fang Lineage, they had already gone up the mountain earlier. There was a golden palace at the top of the mountain that was unusually dazzling under the bright sunlight.

In front of it, there was a square paved with white jade filled with golden tables. Countless maids shuffled around the square as they served tea and wine to the guests.

This square was where they had arranged for the ordinary guests to be seated. Of course, although they were just ordinary guests here, each of their foundations was far superior than that of anyone from the Xia Kingdom.

Forces like House Jinque and House Jiyan would have surely been seated on the periphery in this square.

Such was the vast difference between the outer divine continents and the inner divine continents.

As for Li Luo, Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, and the rest, they had been guided into their seats in the golden palace. After all, they were the direct descendants of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

They were seated near the side of the golden palace, along with familiar faces like Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli, and Lu Qingmei. This was where the young members of the Dragon Fang's Lineage were all seated.

Li Luo looked a little tired as he stared outside the golden palace in boredom. Loud singing, drinking, and chatter could be heard from time to time.

He had no interest in such big banquets. If not for the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool, he would rather have stayed in the Dragon's Fang Lineage to cultivate.

"Little Brother, I heard that you were very popular last night and totally stole the limelight. What happened?" Li Jingtao inquired from the side curiously.

He was even less interested in such banquets. As such, he had found a reason to sneak off right after the Banner Leaders’ discussion yesterday and had only heard about yesterday's incident from Li Fengyi this morning.

Li Luo nodded lazily and replied, "Not really, it's just that the Fairy of Water, Qin Yi, took a fancy to my looks and rewarded me with ten million skygold. But am I the kind of person who bends over for a little bit of pocket money? So I just took the money and left afterwards."

Li Jingtao opened his eyes widely as he exclaimed, "Is that okay!?"

On the side, Li Fengyi could not help but chuckle and roll her eyes at Li Luo for talking nonsense.

As Li Luo did not keep his voice down intentionally, the others at the side had heard what he had said too. Soon, their expressions turned weird.

Even Lu Qingmei, who was leisurely drinking her wine, choked a few times when she heard this, and she shot a strange look at Li Luo.

This guy was more thick-skinned than expected.

A cold laugh came at this moment, and everyone turned over. It was none other than Li Hongli. "Only you people from the Dragon's Fang Lineage would do something like cheat a lady of her money. Hehe, Qin Yi has many fans all over the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. When news of what happened last night spreads, you will surely regret it when you go on missions outside. Only then will you know how short-sighted you are."

There was sarcasm in her tone, and she was clearly unhappy with Li Luo. After all, she wanted to win the Jade Heart Lotus last night so she could steal the limelight from Qin Yi a bit. However, she did not expect Li Luo to disrupt her plans. Not only had she failed to win the limelight, it had even made the Violet Blood Banner lose face.

Nonetheless, Li Luo did not respond to Li Hongli's sharp words. It was Li Fengyi who replied sarcastically, "They were both willing parties. What does it have to do with you?"

"A mere Greater Fiend Palace cultivator is worth ten million skygold?'' Li Hongli retorted.

"An ordinary one is not worth that. But the Third Young Master from the Dragon's Fang Lineage is. You got a problem with that? Hm, Li Hongli, you're not part of the direct bloodline, so of course you don't understand," Li Fengyi told her slowly.

At this point, Li Hongli started fuming with anger, and creaking sounds could be heard from her jade hand holding the wine gla.s.s.

Although she had a high status in the Dragon's Blood Lineage, there was ultimately still a gap between her and members of the direct bloodlines like Li Luo and Li Fengyi.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng cut in with a wave of his hand and graciously interrupted the conversation with a smile. "Don't harp on things like direct bloodline. Talent and strength are the most important a.s.sets one can have in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Just having the bloodline without natural talent is simply a waste of cultivation resources. Moreover, the Ancestor said that the purity of the bloodline isn't what’s important. Even if someone is part of the direct bloodline, he'll be left behind if he can’t reach the King Stage."

With a slight grin, he continued, "In the four halls of the Dragon's Fang Lineage, the Gold Light Hall is the strongest of them all. Their Main Hall Master, Zhao Xuanming, is not of the direct bloodline. With that in mind, you members of the direct bloodline of the Dragon's Fang Lineage have to work harder."

Hearing this, Li Fengyi froze and couldn't help but become a little annoyed. Li Qingfeng's words had directly touched on the most painful point for them in the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

"It's okay, the Dragon's Fang Lineage just needs to wait," Li Luo responded with a laugh as he played with his jade cup.

Li Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Wait for what? For you, Li Luo, to take the lead?"

With a warm smile, he replied confidently, "Wait for my father to return, of course."

This time, it was Li Qingfeng that froze. What could he say to this? He knew very clearly how formidable Li Taixuan was. Their fathers’ generation had been overwhelmed by that guy and traumatized by his strength.

Although Li Taixuan had left the inner divine continent for years and no one knew what he was doing now, he had heard his name mentioned during private conversations among his elders before. They were filled with such fear that it was unforgettable even for him.

As such, if Li Taixuan really did return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage... it would shock the whole Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

The crisis in the Dragon's Fang Lineage would easily be resolved then.

At this point, Li Qingfeng poured himself a cup of wine and drank it down to calm his nerves.

On the other hand, Li Fengyi patted Li Luo's shoulder excitedly and whispered to him, "Well done. When Third Uncle returns to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, who will dare say anything about us, the direct descendants of the Dragon's Fang Lineage, again? Oh, right, there is Third Aunt too. She was even more famous in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent than Third Uncle. Wow, I really want to meet her one day. She was even able to subdue someone like the Third Uncle. What a formidable demeanor, huh?" Li Fengyi's eyes were filled with admiration.

Li Luo rubbed his chin a little as he pondered over it. Indeed, the lady at the top of the food chain in House Luolan was much more terrifying than his father. As Li Luo was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a huge surge in worldly natural energy within the golden palace. No, not just the golden palace. The worldly natural energy around all of Dragon Blood Mountain was vibrating fiercely.

At the next moment, five golden dragon chairs appeared in the sky above the golden palace. The bright energy condensed intensely before they turned into five figures.

The oddly terrifying pressure was coming from these five figures. It was as if Dragon Blood Mountain had begun to shake under their presence.

Li Luo spotted Li Jingzhe among the five of them. He immediately turned to look at the lead position among the five. An old man wearing a golden and purple dragon robe was there. He had blond hair and exuded an indescribable, majestic, and grand aura. His presence alone, there was an inexplicable sense of awe as if the world was bowing down to him.

He was the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. At the same time, he was the Mountain Ruling Chief of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, Li Tianji. Li Jingzhe was positioned on his right. On his left was a beautiful woman with silver hair dressed in green. She had a graceful temperament to her, and her delicate and fair cheeks were embellished with golden dragon scales, making her even more beautiful. She was the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Scale Lineage, Li Qingying.

Further on the outside, there was a tall, middle-aged man that looked like a burly giant. He was bare-chested and the flesh and blood on his body seemed to be beating slowly with life. With every beat, the s.p.a.ce around him tore open with cracks.

He was the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Bone Lineage, Li Xuanwu. It was said that he had the strongest physical body in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Apart from them, there was an old man cloaked in a black robe. His face was thin and appeared ordinary, but there was a dragon horn on his forehead. Mysterious vibrations pulsed from the dragon horn repeatedly. There seemed to be an indescribable, daunting force to it. He was the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Horn Lineage, Li Jinjiao.

When Li Luo witnessed these five terrifying forces atop the golden palace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was the first time he had seen so many King Stage cultivators together.

This was the foundation of the King Stage. Truly daunting. Reacting to the excitement in his heart, he sat himself upright. He understood that the banquet today was finally starting with the arrival of the five elders. And the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool that he had been looking forward to was finally coming.
