Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 614 - 290: Tenth on the Xuanhe List, the Mysterious Elder Li!
Chapter 614: Chapter 290: Tenth on the Xuanhe List, the Mysterious Elder Li!
Putting away the Flame Jade Sword, Luo Cheng changed his tone:
“What Supreme Elder Shi Huang said is very true. We are all fellow disciples, as long as Junior Brother Qi can behave himself, I won’t hold it against him anymore.”
The other party, being a Supreme Elder and a True Master, would be difficult to oppose if they were determined to protect Qi Feiyu, not to mention the considerable benefit already received.
However, Luo Cheng’s words were also ambiguous.
If Qi Feiyu knows his place in the future, it’s fine. But if he doesn’t and seeks death again, he can’t blame Luo Cheng for being ruthless.
Supreme Elder Shi Huang glanced at Luo Cheng, and a fiery vortex emerged behind him, intending to absorb him and Qi Feiyu into it.
“Shi Huang, the Thunder Flame Golden Crystal…” Supreme Elder Ming Sect said in time.
Hearing this, Supreme Elder Shi Huang’s mouth twitched, his expression somewhat unsightly.
The Flame Jade Sword was given away since he couldn’t use it anyway, but the Thunder Flame Golden Crystal was of great use to him, and now he had to hand it over to his arch-enemy, Supreme Elder Ming Sect.
“Hmph! Ming Sect, don’t be too pleased. Since you want to take Luo Cheng as your disciple, let’s wait for them to advance to the Four Extremes Secret Realm and fight again!”
With a cold snort, Supreme Elder Shi Huang waved his large sleeve, and a stream of fiery light shot towards Supreme Elder Ming Sect, while he and Qi Feiyu disappeared into the fiery vortex.
Supreme Elder Ming Sect caught the fiery light, which was a fist-sized, glass-like crystal stone. Flames and lightning intertwined within, and the powerful and fierce essence energy fluctuations made even him feel a bit startled.
“Not bad!”
Supreme Elder Ming Sect showed a look of joy. Winning the Thunder Flame Golden Crystal was secondary; the rare occasion of upstaging Supreme Elder Shi Huang was a morale booster.
Dong dong dong…
While everyone was in a daze, three tolls of the bell suddenly echoed from the Inner Sect Square, spreading far and wide.
This was a reminder that a significant event had occurred in the Inner Sect.
Everyone thought of something and looked towards the Xuanhe List in the Inner Sect Square.
The enormous Xuanhe List was currently shining brilliantly, and the name of Qi Feiyu, originally in the tenth position, had automatically moved down to the eleventh position in the second row.
The vacant tenth position now displayed two bright and shining characters.
Luo Cheng!
Seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat dazed.
“Tenth place on the Xuanhe List, the Top Ten Seed Disciples!”
“Luo Cheng awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, yet within just a year in the Inner Sect, he has become one of the Top Ten Seed Disciples! This is too exaggerated! It’s unprecedented!”
“Look, even those elders are stunned.”
Staring at Luo Cheng’s name on the Xuanhe List, everyone was deeply shocked.
Before this battle, no one thought it would end like this, given the vast gap between the two.
Qi Feiyu, awakening the Nine-star Martial Soul, a Top Ten Seed Disciple, a direct disciple of a Supreme Elder, with such dominance and invincibility.
In contrast, Luo Cheng, merely a newly promoted Core Disciple with Eighth Layer Peak Cultivation of the Awakening Vein Realm, seemed insignificant next to the bright moon.
However, this originally dim star exploded with a light as dazzling as the sun, completely overshadowing the bright moon!
Even though this happened right before their eyes, it was still hard for everyone to believe, as if they were in a dream, unable to recover for a long time.
“Is this the person Yun Mengli personally recommended…”
High above, Yuan Qingying stared at Luo Cheng, frowning slightly, his sharp gaze causing the air to ripple gently.
Beside him, Yuan Qianyu clenched his fists tightly, his face twisted and fierce: “Damn it, how can this waste be so formidable!”
Yuan Qingying exhaled slightly and said, “Don’t worry. He’s so ostentatious, unaware of restraint, will only lead to self-destruction. Putting others aside, Jin Min absolutely won’t let him live much longer.”
At these words, Yuan Qianyu worriedly asked, “Can Jin Min defeat him?”
Yuan Qingying nodded, “The ranking of the Top Ten Seed Disciples is no joke; the difference in strength between each rank is worlds apart. Especially the top three, which are a huge dividing line.”
“Jin Min, with the support of the Imperial Family and the entire Crown Prince Hall, possesses extraordinary foundations. Possessing Ultimate Skills, the Imperial Family’s Seven Secret Techniques alone are enough to negate the effects of the Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype. Luo Cheng can easily defeat Qi Feiyu, but facing Jin Min is far from enough; he would be instantly defeated.”
“Heh, if Jin Min knew how arrogant Luo Cheng was, having defeated Qi Feiyu and become one of the Top Ten Seed Disciples, he’d want nothing more than to tear him apart immediately!”
Yuan Qianyu chuckled sinisterly, looking towards Luo Cheng on the stage, whispering, “Go ahead, be arrogant. Let’s see how long you can keep it up!”
At this moment, an authoritative voice descended from the sky.
“Luo Cheng, from today, you are my Closed-door Disciple. Come to Thunder Peak later!”
The speaker was Supreme Elder Ming Sect.
“Yes, Master!”
Luo Cheng clasped his hands in respect.
Of course, he would not refuse the goodwill of a Supreme Elder.
Moreover, he had a good impression of Supreme Elder Ming Sect, as he was a supporter of Yun Mengli and had helped him several times.
Supreme Elder Ming Sect nodded and began to shine with lightning, preparing to leave with Supreme Elder Qingkui.
“Huh!?”
Supreme Elder Qingkui suddenly paused, looking southwest with surprise.
“What’s wrong?”
Supreme Elder Ming Sect asked curiously.
“Look over there, who is that?”
Supreme Elder Qingkui discreetly pointed southwest.
A nondescript white cloud floated there.
Supreme Elder Ming Sect squinted, his pupils flashing with lightning, then said with surprise, “Elder Li? She actually came too.”
In the void behind the clouds, an elderly woman stood, stooped, with white hair and an extremely aged appearance. If it weren’t for the two being at the True Master level, with powerful soul power to discern genuine from false, it would be difficult to detect her presence.
Supreme Elder Qingkui was equally astonished, “In the past hundred years, this is my first time seeing Elder Li leave Cuiyu Peak! She seems to be observing Luo Cheng, could she be here for him?”
Supreme Elder Qingkui noticed that Elder Li’s gaze remained fixed on Luo Cheng, seemingly absorbed in thought.
Supreme Elder Ming Sect shook his head, “It’s best not to speculate about her intentions.”
Even as a Supreme Elder, when mentioning Elder Li, Supreme Elder Ming Sect spoke with great respect.
The background of this Elder Li was so mysterious that even he knew nothing about it.
Supreme Elder Ming Sect only remembered that when he first entered the Xuanyuan Sect, she was already stationed at Cuiyu Peak.
Over two hundred years had passed, he had transformed from a disciple into a Supreme Elder, yet she remained at Cuiyu Peak.
Seemingly feeling the attention of the two, Elder Li wrapped herself in a cloud of purple aura and vanished instantly.
“Let’s go!”
Supreme Elder Ming Sect did not delve deeper. The other party had always been as elusive as the dragon that appears only to vanish again, and aside from knowing her surname was Li, he knew nothing else.
Crack!
Transforming into a bolt of lightning, Supreme Elder Ming Sect shot towards the depths of the Inner Sect.
Supreme Elder Qingkui took one last look at Luo Cheng.
She felt that Elder Li’s gaze at Luo Cheng earlier was somewhat complex, a bit different from her usual lifeless demeanor…
“Perhaps it was just an illusion.”
Shaking her head, Supreme Elder Qingkui stepped forward, her entire form vanishing like a shadow of light from where she stood.
