Chapter 0823: Conclusion
Poof!
The crisp sound of the water echoed across the lake, and what followed was a moment of silence. Everyone was stunned.
How had Li Luo sent Zhao Fengyang flying into the water with just a slap?
Zhao Fengyang was clearly the one to launch the preemptive strike.
Faced with such a sudden development, even Li Qingfeng, Qin Yi, and the others were shocked.
They did not understand what had just happened either.
Li Luo's slap appeared so light, yet it had totally disintegrated the Raging Giant Palm from Zhao Fengyang when the two clashed.
They all assumed it had something to do with Zhao Fengyang, as none of them felt any undulations of energy from the clash earlier.
However, why would Zhao Fengyang suddenly collapse?
The crowd could not fathom what had occurred at all.
Meanwhile, Li Luo smiled lightly as the crowd remained confused. After sending Zhao Fengyang flying into the lake, he took a look at the crimson ring on his wrist and nodded in satisfaction.
The ferocious aura from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf must have scared Zhao Fengyang out of his wits earlier, causing him to collapse in fear.
After all, the wolf was at the Duke Stage now, so its ferocious aura was terrifying beyond belief. As a Glass Fiend, there was no way Zhao Fengyang could have resisted the pressure when it had appeared so suddenly.
Simply put, Li Luo had borrowed the ferocious aura from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf to give Zhao Fengyang a horrifying mental shock.
As the victim could not bear it, he naturally lost control in an instant and was left totally open to Li Luo.
"Unlucky baby."
Li Luo shook his head sympathetically. Zhao Fengyang's mind was not tough enough. Otherwise, he would not have suffered such a total defeat.
In the next moment, he did not bother with his fallen opponent anymore and skimmed across the water’s surface. After a short while, he landed on the Jade Heart Lotus in the center of the lake under everyone's puzzled gazes.
He went straight to the lotus, peeled off the buds, and took out one of the seeds.
Approximately the size of a thumb, the lotus seeds were crystal-clear like jade with a special, glowing light pattern looming on them. It was truly a mystical sight.
"So, this is the Jade Heart Lotus?"
Li Luo played with it on his fingers for a while before he turned around and headed back to the shore.
At this moment, everyone was still filled with confusion as they watched Li Luo return with the lotus seed.
"Li Luo, w-what weird tricks did you use?!" Li Hongli could not help but ask angrily.
She could not come to terms with the sudden loss from Zhao Fengyang.
In response, Li Luo took a glance at her but did not pay much attention to her at all. Instead, he flicked his fingers and shot the Jade Heart Lotus seed at Qin Yi, saying, "Lady Qin Yi, here's your thing. There is no need to thank me, as I'm getting paid.”
Qin Yi stretched out her jade hand and caught the seed. After taking a quick look, she casually put it away.
Hearing Li Luo's words, she could barely contain the itch in her heart despite her usually calm personality. This bastard was still acting all kind and good when he had gotten such a good deal out of it. It was just a Jade Heart Lotus seed, an item worth hundreds of thousands of skygold at most. Yet Li Luo had gotten ten million skygold for it!
He had totally taken her for a fool!
Luckily, Qin Yi was very well tempered. Even though Li Luo had cheated her of a large sum, she still kept her composure and elegance without showing any slips.
"You defeated a Glass Fiend while you’re still at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier. Banner Leader Li Luo, you are truly outstanding. If not for the time wasted in the outer divine continent, it’s likely that you’d be the best candidate for the Dragon's Head position for this generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li." Qin Yi praised him with her red lips as she looked at Li Luo with admiration.
These words stirred quite an uproar in the crowd, and many glared at Li Luo with hostility. Li Luo had just been fooling around. What had he done to make Qin Yi think so highly of him?
However, Li Luo merely rolled his eyes towards Qin Yi's praises. He thought to himself, "What the heck? It was not like I was rotting away there! In fact, I had an absolutely great time in the outer divine continent, so there was no time wasted at all!"
In fact, he had constantly heard people repeat the phrase "wasting his time" so many times since he had arrived in the Dragon's Fang Lineage that it was simply disgusting.
Li Qingfeng had gotten a little uneasy after hearing Qin Yi's compliment. He grinned a little as he said, "Banner Leader Li Luo, you must have used some special means to scare Zhao Fengyang mentally, causing him to lose his composure and giving you the opportunity to strike for an instant win. Am I right? That was just a little trick that will only work once due to the element of surprise. I am afraid it won't work a second time."
Nonetheless, Li Luo could not be bothered to argue over this after hearing his remarks. Qin Yi was truly troublesome. Just a small remark had caused so much inconvenience to him. “Fairy Qin is a complete misnomer; she should be known as Troublemaker Qin instead.”
Li Luo was very tired of all this by now. The banquet celebration was coming to a close. After receiving his huge reward of ten million skygold, he had no further interest in hanging around any longer.
"Guys, tomorrow is an important day. It's late now, so I will be heading out first."
As soon as Li Luo spoke, he turned around, leaving the palace before Li Qingfeng and Qin Yi could say anything more.
Seeing this, Li Fengyi grabbed onto Li Lanyin, and the two left the venue too.
As the crowd watched Li Luo walk off, they were filled with complex expressions. This guy had made such a mess out of this event, and now he was just casually walking off.
As soon as Li Luo disappeared into the distance, their focus shifted back to Qin Yi, and they started criticizing Li Luo for his rude acts.
Qin Yi merely responded with a light smile. She was also starting to get tired.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng thoughtfully announced that the banquet was over and sent Qin Yi all the way back to the place where the guests stayed before giving his farewell. This was the graceful behavior a good host should display after all.
As she watched Li Qingfeng disappear into the distance, Qin Yi's eyes moved slightly as she walked towards a brightly lit, luxurious building.
When she pushed open the door and entered, there were two people awaiting her inside.
Seating in the center seat was a beautiful lady in a fiery, red dress with a bright fire lotus embroidery.
She was extremely charming and looked somewhat similar to Qin Yi. Compared to the calm, cooling, water-like Qin Yi, she was more mature like a passionate, burning flame. Despite the slightly loose dress she was wearing, her great and proud curves were evident.
At the same time, an air of strength and dominance seemed to have condensed at a point between her eyebrows.
Sitting by her side was a handsome man around twenty-five or twenty-six years old that gave off a majestic aura. He was wearing silver and golden bands around his arms that were engraved with mysterious, flickering light patterns that attracted the worldly natural energy around them.
Both of them looked up as soon as Qin Yi stepped in.
With a light smile, Qin Yi greeted them. "Mom. Senior."
It turned out that this ravishing lady was Qin Yi's mother, the one who had deep enmity and was entangled with Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan. She was now the Hall Master of the Fire Lotus Hall in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing.
The young man with a tall and straight body and a sharp appearance was Qin Lian’s first disciple. He was the talented guy who had entered the Empyrean Chronicle and shocked the whole Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, Chu Qing.
