Chapter 0963: Cooperation
When the recording ended, the crowd fell into silence. Judging from their reactions, Li Luo could tell that they had guessed these people’s identities just like himself.
After all, they were all elites from the various powers, so they would surely have heard of the origins of the Spiritual Resonance Cave.
“Do these people show up whenever the Spiritual Resonance Cave opens?” Li Luo asked curiously.
Qin Yi sighed deeply before shaking her head. “The Spiritual Resonance Cave was only discovered a few dozen years ago, so it has only opened a few times. Unfortunately, we have never heard of any disciples of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect making an appearance. Additionally, they might not be actual humans. I feel like they are some sort of energy projection. The thing is that the Spiritual Resonance Cave is full of mysterious phenomena, and the Sacred Void Resonance Sect is known to have been capable of creating all sorts of miraculous things. It’s not surprising at all that they had the means to produce energy projections capable of maintaining such tyrannical power despite thousands of years going by.”
At this point, Chen Ping spoke up. “Actually, the Spiritual Resonance Cave is connected to you, Dragon’s Head Li Luo.”
“Connected?” Li Luo frowned.
Chen Ping grinned. “The Spiritual Resonance Cave only made its appearance two years after your parents entered the supposed ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect.”
These words caused the atmosphere to turn silent, and the gazes of the crowd shifted away from both Li Luo and Qin Yi. It was that very same incident that resulted in Li Taixuan, Tan Tailan, and Qin Lian forming an endless grudge with each other.
The corner of Li Luo’s lips twitched slightly. This piece of crap just couldn’t wait for Qin Yi to break out into a brawl by fanning the flames. It seemed like all of these proud children of the heavens were simply vile and toxic. Thinking back to his time in the Xia Kingdom, House Duze’s steel-headed leader was much more adorable compared to them.
Qin Yi’s eyes also fluttered briefly, but she did not show any emotion, only changing the subject. “Dragon’s Head Li Luo, what you’ve just seen are just the normal protectors of the gilded hall. What’s truly thorny is the second layer of guardians. The squad is composed of eight elite disciples with strength at the seven-pearl tier. And perhaps due to the enhancements provided by the ward that covers them, their battle strength is on the level of an eight-pearl. This is the reason why no one has managed to break in thus far.”
“Oh? Eight disciples with eight-pearl strength?” Li Luo was a little taken aback. Not even he would be able to break through such powerful enemies.
However, this also meant that the real reason why Qin Yi sought to work with him was because of Li Lingjing.
When Li Luo reached that conclusion, Qin Yi’s beautiful gaze turned towards the silent Li Lingjing. “Might you be Lady Li Lingjing? You should be the Western Region’s Li family’s prized daughter, and it was said that you had the potential to become the Dragon’s Head of your generation. It was a pity that you disappeared without a word due to an accident. However, it looks like your strength is not at all inferior to Li Wuyuan’s.”
Qin Yi made her decision. “We won’t dawdle any longer. More and more rogue cultivators are making their way here, and the situation will change the longer we take.”
Li Luo naturally did not disagree.
When the crowd moved out, their presence was eye-catching. Countless gazes shot towards them, and the most outstanding of the lot were Qin Yi and Li Luo. They were instantly recognizable with their esteemed statuses, and the fact that they were working together elicited much surprise. They were supposed to be blood enemies, yet they were now cooperating.
Of course, such opinions were ignored by the two. They might be working together on the surface, but they kept a fixed distance of ten steps from each other. Both of them inched ever closer to their paired protector.
Clearly, the two didn’t trust each other fully, as it should be.
The group then entered the mountainous forest and disappeared into the fog.
The other rogue cultivators nearby also took action, following the group at a distance. They were hoping to fish within the chaos and enter the gilded hall to find treasures.
Amongst the crowd, an emotionless male slowly walked up with squirming, black pupils. His gaze was locked in Li Lingjing’s direction.
“Hey! Why are you taking your time here? Scram if you don’t want to follow!” An angry shout was directed at the male from an angry rogue cultivator.
The male did not move, completely ignoring the other person.
The rogue cultivator then s became infuriated, so he surged with resonant power and directly punched towards the male, causing a boom to echo throughout the sky.
He struck at the seemingly defenseless back of the male, who seemed completely oblivious to what was happening.
However, the body of the rogue cultivator suddenly tensed up, and he stared at his own fist in absolute terror. A single black worm had tunneled into his skin, and its limbs were extremely strange, looking like countless miniature human hands. Before he knew it, it vanished.
Suddenly, the rogue cultivator’s pupils turned stygian black, and a single worm could be seen squirming within one of his eyes.
A moment later, the rogue cultivator began to follow the strange male with stiff steps, disappearing into the clouds.
