Meeting Luo Li Again
Meeting Luo Li Again
"What... Even the Great Spirit Ancient Clan is here!"
"Tsk tsk, four of the five ancient tribes have come. This will be a rare battle that hasn't been seen in a century."
"Mu Chen's connections are terrifying, indeed. Not only does he know the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, he even has relationships with the Great Spirit Ancient Clan."
"Yes, if not for the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border being involved in some other matters, the two would have come to help. The Maha Ancient Clan would be quite embarrassed then."
"..."
Hearing the whispers between heaven and earth, many of the Maha Ancient Clan elders were green with displeasure. Even Maha Tian's gaze was dark. The Great Spirit Ancient Clan, who appeared suddenly in front of them, had disrupted his plans. But what puzzled Maha Tian was that the Budur Ancient Clan and Great Spirit Ancient Clan didn't have close relations with each other. How could the Great Spirit Ancient Clan risk offending the strongest Maha Ancient Clan and get involved in this?
However, Maha Tian was, after all, the head of a clan and reacted swiftly. His low voice rumbled, "So it's the Great Nether Ancestor. My apologies for the shabby welcome."
In the sky, the light column of spiritual power slowly dispersed as two shadows appeared. One of them was an old man clad in a white robe. His features were old-looking, but his skin was as delicate as a baby's. He had a friendly smile on his face, and his starry eyes were full of wisdom and mystery. The old man was no stranger to many of the Heavenly Sovereigns present, for he was the Great Nether Ancestor of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan.
Everyone's attention paused on the old man for a moment, and then in the next moment, they were drawn to the silhouette beside him. The crowd was dazzled. It was a slender silhouette with long hair like the stars in the Milky Way, brilliant and beautiful. Stars adorned her black dress, and her skirt flickered with purple light as it billowed in the wind. Her face was exquisite, her skin radiant. She smiled with a hint of playfulness in her smirk. What was most striking were her crystal-like eyes. They were pure as if they could see through someone. Everyone was intoxicated by her beauty. Her neck was graceful and slender like a swan's. She had delicate and sensual curves highlighting her collarbones and figure. Her waist was thin like a willow swaying in the wind, and her proportions were perfect, which made people marvel about the Creator's craftsmanship.
At first sight of the girl, everyone was mesmerized and thought in their hearts, This is really a goddess who has descended.
"Oh, Chief Maha Tian, you're too polite. I hope you won't blame me for inviting myself." The Great Nether Ancestor smiled harmoniously.
Maha Tian took a deep breath and said, "The Maha Ancient Clan and Great Spirit Ancient Clan bear no grudges against each other. Why are you meddling in this?"
In the face of Maha Tian's questioning, the Great Nether Ancestor sighed, and a forlorn look appeared on his face. Pointing to the beautiful girl beside him, he said, "You can't blame me for this. This little girl is anxious to save her beloved. I had to come forward."
Maha Tian's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the girl. "And this girl is?"
"I'm Luo Li. I'm the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, due to the honor of being acknowledged by the elders in the clan." In the face of Maha Tian's presence, the girl standing beside the Great Nether Ancestor smiled. Her voice was crisp and moving, like jade beads falling onto a silver plate. She was polite and firm, and many sovereigns were impressed by her demeanor.
"The Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan?" Maha Tian frowned. There was no Chief Elder in the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, but they had the title of Holy Maiden. Thus, the Holy Maiden was equivalent to the Chief Elder of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan and held immense power. However, the selection of the Holy Maiden was extremely harsh, so the position had been suspended all these years. The girl before me is so outstanding that she could attain the title of Holy Maiden?
"Since you are the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, you should take the overall situation of the clan as a matter of priority. Meddling indiscriminately may cause a great deal of trouble for the Great Spirit Ancient Clan," Maha Tian stated gravely, a cold threat in his words.
However, in the face of his threatening words, Luo Li merely smiled, and deep affection and longing surfaced in her gaze. She glanced at the young figure on top of the distant tower as she said gently, "I became the Holy Maiden for him. If I can't help him, why should I be the Holy Maiden?"
This remark immediately made countless sovereigns sigh in regret. When they looked at Mu Chen, their gazes were full of inexplicable anger. This guy not only had great opportunities but had such a beautiful girl willing to risk everything for him in the face of Maha Tian. Such fortune really attracted envy.
"Little Luo Li, spare some thought for me. I have a fragile heart…" Beside her, the Great Nether Ancestor's face was sullen.
Luo Li, a little embarrassed, whispered, "Didn't you know this long ago, Great Nether Ancestor?"
The Great Nether Ancestor sighed and looked at Mu Chen at the top of the Aeon Pagoda. If it weren't for this guy's existence, Luo Li would be able to be the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan wholeheartedly.
"What is the relationship between the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan and Mu Chen?" Where the Budur Ancient Clan was gathered, Budur Xuan was also surprised.
Qing Yanjing looked at Luo Li, her eyes full of satisfaction. She had met Luo Li long ago in the Northern Heavens Continent, and she had left a deep impression. This girl was not only talented but also had a resilient personality. "That's my daughter-in-law." Qing Yanjing smiled proudly at Budur Xuan. Her son was really good and had a good eye. Not only had he found such a beautiful wife, she was even the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan.
Budur Xuan froze for a moment, then sighed. "This boy is good indeed, that he even managed to get the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan."
Amid the crowd's murmurs, Maha Tian's face was dark. He stared at Luo Li and the Great Nether Ancestor and said in a cold voice, "It seems that you have really insisted on meddling today, but you may not be able to change the outcome by yourself, even if you are a Divine Grade."
Only the Great Nether Ancestor was a Divine Grade. Even though Luo Li had improved by leaps and bounds over the years in the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, she was only a Spiritual Grade and was of little use here.
However, when he heard Maha Tian's words, the Great Nether Ancestor smiled and said with some pride, "Judging from Chief Elder Maha Tian's words, you have underestimated the Holy Maiden of my Great Spirit Ancient Clan."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Li's beautiful eyes twinkled as she conjured seals.
Buzz!
Ancient light rose from the top of Luo Li's head. Many sovereigns were surprised to see that an ancient scroll rose slowly in the light suspended above her head. The ancient scroll was mottled and old, but emanated the most terrifying fluctuations of spiritual power. As it flickered, it was as if there were a great shadow of light. An indescribable force of pressure shrouded them and spread out. That kind of oppression was not inferior to a Divine Grade's!
Maha Tian looked at the ancient scroll, and his face twisted. Even Qing Yanjing and Budur Xuan were startled.
"This is the key treasure of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram?" Shocked exclamations rang out, and one could imagine the disbelief in their hearts. It was rumored that the Divine Grades would be sealed into the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram before they passed away, thus creating the horrendous power of this scroll. To put it bluntly, the power of this ancient scroll alone could counter a Divine Grade.
The only flaw, however, was that it was extremely harsh in selecting its masters, and no more than three people within the Great Spirit Ancient Clan had been able to control it over the years. Because of this, when people such as Maha Tian saw that Luo Li could control this ancient scroll, they were shell-shocked.
At this point, they finally understood why the Great Nether Ancestor valued Luo Li so much. Even if she was only a Spiritual Grade Sovereign, with the power of the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram, she could counter a Divine Grade.
On the top of the pagoda, Mu Chen gazed at Luo Li's slender silhouette, and while rejoicing at her ascension, he was also slightly distressed. He was very clear that in order to be able to do this, Luo Li had put in unimaginable effort over the years.
Seemingly aware of Mu Chen's gaze, Luo Li tilted her head and winked at him. It was as if she were trying to say that she had caught up with him.
Looking at the smile of his beautiful beloved, Mu Chen could not help laughing, and then an endless surge of determination roared in his chest, rushing into the sky. He bowed his head and looked straight at Maha Tian with sharp eyes. The next moment, a bright laughter with a strong sense of desire to battle rang between the heavens and earth.
"Maha Tian, if you want to seize the Primordial Immortal Body, then do it yourself. Today, I also want to learn the means of the Chief Elder of the Maha Ancient Clan!" Laughter reverberated in heaven and earth, shocking countless sovereigns.
Mu Chen actually declared war on Maha Tian?!
