Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1695

Chapter 1692 Behind You, I Stand

. Li Luo’s journey to Xuanling Shenzhou was even faster than expected.

With the Eastern Region Alliance’s recent campaign achieving significant results, many demons in the Eastern Region were frightened. Their previously unbridled attacks were curbed, and they even began to tighten their defenses, forming a standoff with the Eastern Region Alliance.

Before a new Triple Crown Demon Lord descended, the Dark World’s offensive against the Eastern Region was clearly coming to a halt.

This undoubtedly gave the Eastern Region Alliance a chance to catch its breath.

And just two weeks later, Li Luo set off directly for Xuanling Shenzhou.

A

vast gust of wind swept across the vast sky. Within the wind, a blue roc, formed from the pure and majestic essence of wind, spread its wings and moved. With a single flap, it soared across mountains and seas.

Atop the Qingfeng Great Peng, Li Luo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze heavy as he gazed down at the mountains and rivers passing below. Once home to many prosperous dynasties, these lands had now become a dead silence.

A chilling, malevolent aura lingered and raged everywhere.

In just five or six years, the world had been ravaged by the Dark World, countless lives lost.

It was unclear when this world-destroying catastrophe would finally end.

Just as Li Luo’s heart was sinking, he heard subtle footsteps and a faint fragrance behind him. Turning his gaze, he saw a slender, graceful figure approaching.

It was Instructor Xi Chan.

However, she was no longer wearing the Saint Xuanxing Academy robes, but a pale blue dress that outlined her graceful curves. Her cheeks, still draped with her usual veil, hinted at her delicate features.

Xi Chan had accompanied Li Luo on his journey to the Xuanling Divine Land.

She wanted to go home to visit her parents. After all, it had been many years since she left the Xi family.

“Teacher Xi Chan, at our current speed, we should still have another month to reach the East Sea of Xuanling Shenzhou,” Li Luo said with a smile, looking at Xi Chan.

Xi Chan nodded gently, a hint of anxiety in her piercing eyes. She had been forced to flee the Xi family and flee to Daxia, fearing they would find her. Now, after all these years, she was finally going back, and she was inevitably a little nervous.

But she had to go back eventually. With the aliens rampant in the world, she worried about her parents. Moreover, she had been trying to maintain contact with the Xi family for several years. The main reason for her urgent return was that she had heard that the Xi family’s ancestor, who had reached the peak of his power as a double champion, had suffered a fatal blow in a battle with the Dark World Demon King and was afraid that his time was numbered.

If the ancestor fell, Xi Li would be his successor.

That was Xi Li, her former fiancé and the man Li Luo had defeated in the Heavenly Realm Tower. Back

in the Heavenly Realm Tower, Xi Li had already attained the rank of Eighth Rank Marquis. Now, during the past five years of Tianyun, he had leveraged the power of heaven and earth and the resources invested by the Xi family to overcome the limitations previously limited by his secret techniques, successfully achieving the realm of First Crown King.

It was rumored that Xi Li was now at the peak of his power within the Xi family. Should the ancestor fall, the position of clan leader would most likely fall to him.

Xi Chan knew Xi Li’s vengeful nature. If he became clan leader, he would undoubtedly retaliate against the Xi family branch and her parents, putting their situation in even greater jeopardy.

Unable to wait any longer, Xi Chan sought to return and take her parents and other relatives with her to protect them from Xi Li’s harm.

Xi Chan had previously explained to Li Luo in detail what had happened within the Xi family, so Li Luo could sense the anxiety and uneasiness within his seemingly calm and knowledgeable mentor.

Li Luo paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “I heard from Mentor Xi Chan that your Xi family has a unique secret inheritance. If the previous patriarch dies, can the successor inherit a portion of the inheritance through secret methods?”

Xi Chan nodded and sighed, “If Xi Li obtains this portion of the ancestor’s inheritance, he’ll likely reach the pinnacle of the One Crown Champion.”

Li Luo paused, then said, “Master is worried about your parents and the relatives of the branch family, but they may not be willing to leave with you. Furthermore, this won’t fundamentally resolve the fate of your branch Xi family being exploited by the main family.”

Xi Chan remained silent. She knew Li Luo was right. Her parents and many important relatives were still at the Xi family. If she wanted to take them away, they might not agree. Forcing it would only backfire.

Xi Chan sighed wearily, unsure of what to do.

Then she raised her eyes and saw Li Luo’s face full of smiles, with an expression that said, “I have a way, come and ask for advice.” She smiled a little, and then a warm smile flowed in her beautiful eyes, and she asked softly, “Please teach me, Li Luo.”

Li Luo smiled and said, “It’s simple. Teacher Xi Chan, you go to accept the inheritance of that ancestor. You are now a ninth-rank marquis. It’s just right to use this opportunity to enter the king realm and then become the patriarch of the Xi family. Then you can not only protect your parents and relatives, but also solve the problem of the Xi family’s main family splitting up. “I don’t blame you.”

Xi Chan was stunned, then shook her head helplessly, saying, “How could I be qualified to be the Xi family’s patriarch? My roots in the Xi family are shallow, and the main family wouldn’t allow someone from a branch family to become patriarch. Moreover, the main family has the Beast Taming Palace behind them. They’ve been operating there for hundreds of years and have extensive connections. The Beast Taming Palace will only support the main family in controlling the Xi family.”

Li Luo couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, and said nonchalantly, “Beast Taming Palace? Are they very powerful?”

Teacher Xi Chan was about to say, “Isn’t it powerful? That’s one of the overlords of Xuanling Shenzhou. It houses Heavenly Kings and many powerful King-level masters. Its foundation is extremely terrifying.

” But just as she was about to say this, she suddenly realized… “Teacher Xi Chan, it seems you still don’t understand your current background.” Li Luo also spoke with a smile at this time.

“Behind the Xi family’s head stands the Beast Taming Palace, and behind you stands me.”

“Who am I?”

“Peerless at the peak of the eighth rank, leader of the Eastern Region Alliance, head of the lineage of Heavenly King Li. My Luolan family boasts four unrivaled individuals, and both my grandfather and ancestor are Heavenly Kings. How could the Beast Taming Palace’s foundation be greater than mine?”

Hearing the young man’s gentle, yet smiling voice, Xi Chan couldn’t help but feel lost. Unbeknownst to her, the young man who had once faced a near-miss in the academy under Shen Jinxiao’s stalking had grown to this point.

He was already a worldly giant.

Both his own strength and his backing were enough to overshadow many Heavenly King-level forces.

Even the Beast Taming Palace, once a behemoth in her eyes, was no match for him.

At that moment, Xi Chan felt as if she had just woken from a dream. Had she ever taught such a person?

Looking at the stunned Teacher Xi Chan, Li Luo smiled and said, “Teacher, go ahead and compete for the position of clan leader this time when you go to the Xi family. I’ll handle the rest of the issues.”

Xi Chan murmured, “But Xi Li is more suitable for the position of clan leader than me, both in terms of qualifications and strength. If I force myself to compete, I’m afraid it will attract a lot of opposition and controversy.”

She had never imagined that one day she would compete for the position of clan leader of the Xi family, so Li Luo’s suggestion is still making her head buzz.

Li Luo stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking into the distance. A faint laugh with a domineering aura was carried by the wind into Xi Chan’s ears, causing her heart to tremble slightly.

“Teacher Xi Chan, I’m not here to reason with people.”

“Right now, I prefer to use fists.”

“Whether it’s the main family of the Xi family or the Beast Spirit Hall, if they don’t obey… then we’ll beat them until they obey!”
