Chapter 642: Heaven-Slaying Alliance?

He felt the slight coolness coming from above his head, and the subtle sense of balance brought by the light presence. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise again, and this time there was a bit more indulgence and pampering in his smile.

Luo Li clapped her hands in satisfaction and smoothed her hair again, "Alright, let her stay like this."

Barrett was somewhat helpless, "Okay."

He looked around and asked in confusion, "Aren't you in Shenxiao City? Why are you here in this desolate wilderness?"

Hearing this, Luo Li briefly explained the matter of the runes and then said, "But, have you noticed something strange here?"

"Look." She pointed at the runes floating around and frowned slightly. "Not only that, there's no trace of Aunt Cui and the others around here."

Barrett stood beside Luo Li and asked with the same doubt, "Are you sure this is the talisman paper you gave them?"

Luo Li nodded seriously, "I can't be wrong. I took this talisman paper out from the Tower of Gods. Its aura is easily detectable."

She walked lightly to a place densely covered with runes and touched it lightly with her fingertips. The runes seemed to sense her breath, flickering slightly and emitting a soft light.

This is enough to prove that this is the talisman paper in the Tower of Gods.

But why is there no one around?

The surroundings were so quiet that only the subtle sounds of flowing runes and the occasional low roar of monsters in the distance could be heard.

A faint fragrance suddenly began to fill the air. Luo Li's eyes wandered around the empty space, her brows furrowed, and an inexplicable uneasiness rose in her heart.

Luo Li's pace slowed down unconsciously, and the faint fragrance became stronger and stronger, as if it was slowly seeping out from the cracks in the abyss, entwining her senses.

She looked up at the towering Tower of the Gods. Its spire was hidden in the thick clouds, appearing both mysterious and lonely.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, causing the surrounding runes to flash more rapidly, as if it was a warning from some unknown force.

Luo Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and she saw a dark figure appear silently at the edge of her sight under the light of the rune.

The figure was clad in a black robe, his face hidden by the shadow of the hood. Only his eyes, as deep as a cold pool, flashed with a captivating light.

He slowly raised his hand and lightly tapped the void with his fingertips. The surrounding runes seemed to respond to his call, gathering into a stream of light and sinking into his palm.

A suffocatingly powerful aura filled the air, causing Luo Li's mind to tremble involuntarily, and everything around her seemed to freeze at this moment.

She was on guard, sensing a dangerous aura for the first time in a long time. Luo Li narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you lead me here?"

The black-robed figure smiled softly, his voice low but filled with unquestionable authority, "You don't need to know who I am. I'm here for revenge today!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a deep crack suddenly appeared in the void. It was as bright as a star, and as depraved as an abyss, making Luo Li's figure look very small.

The little ice phoenix on Barrett's head grabbed Barrett's hair tightly to prevent itself from being blown away by the sudden hurricane.

Luo Li raised her eyes coldly, "Absurd! Who are you? We have no grudges against each other, yet you deliberately lured me here. What is your purpose?!"

The man in black hadn't expected this man to be so stubborn. The overflowing power stagnated and he shouted angrily, "Don't expect me to believe you just because you say that. Aren't you from the Zhutian League?!"

Luo Li frowned, "What is the Heaven-Slaying Alliance?"

She said coldly, "I haven't even asked you where this talisman paper came from! I clearly gave it to my friend!"

"Lies!" The man in black's black robe fluttered, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his fingers moved slightly, and there seemed to be a low hum of thunder in the cracks, shaking the space.

Luo Li did not move, but a faint fluorescent light appeared around her, as if she was secretly fighting against the chaotic power around her.

The little ice phoenix flapped its wings above Barrett's head, scattering ice crystals in an attempt to ease the heart-pounding feeling of oppression.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, a sign that the surrounding grass and trees were withering under the invisible pressure. A storm was quietly brewing to its peak.

Luo Li felt that she was no match for this person at all. This person's aura was actually stronger than Di Xuanming's. He was at least a Nine-Star Soul Emperor.

Her fingertips moved slightly, ready to enter the Tower of Gods at any time.

However, she still had to figure out what was going on.

So, she said calmly, "Do I have any reason to lie?"

The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yes, if she was from the Zhutian League, why would she lie?

The hurricane suddenly stopped and everything around returned to calm, with only a few fallen leaves slowly drifting down.

Luo Li took advantage of the situation and moved. In a flash, she was in front of the man in black. With a flash of cold light in her hand, a long sword pointed directly at his throat.

The man in black's pupils suddenly shrank and he easily dodged to the side.

He just wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he angrily shouted, "Don't try to trick me! If you're not from the Zhutian Alliance, how could you have this talisman paper?"

Luo Li sneered, and her long sword tilted slightly, cutting the corner of his clothes. "I said, this is the talisman paper I gave to my friend. I haven't asked you where you got it from!"

The man in black glared and turned against Tiangang!

He frowned and said, "Then tell me, where did you get this talisman paper! Apart from the people of the Zhutian League, no other place would have this kind of talisman paper!"

Luo Li turned her wrist slightly, signaled Barrett with her eyes, then looked directly into the eyes of the man in black and said word by word, "This talisman paper originally belonged to me."

The man in black was furious. "You said this talisman paper is yours, and you said you are not from the Zhutian League?!"

Luo Li was puzzled. "Is there any necessary connection between the fact that this talisman paper is mine and that I am a member of the Zhutian League?"

"Of course there is!" the man in black said sinisterly, "Only members of the Zhutian League can make this kind of talisman paper with special powers!"

The power around him began to surge, "Stop quibbling, you are from the Zhutian League!"

Luo Li retorted, "I'm not."

The man in black shouted angrily, "You are!"

Luo Li retorted again, "Big Brother, I'm really not from the Zhutian League."

The man in black shouted angrily, "You are you, you are you!"

"Stop." Luo Li raised her hand and said with a friendly smile, "Big brother, are they from the Zhutian League and have a grudge against you?"

The man in black looked very uncalm, "Of course, otherwise why would I come here with so much trouble to seek revenge!"

Luo Li put her hands on her hips and said, "Why don't you just go to their base camp? Why are you looking for an innocent person like me?"

As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but was immediately overwhelmed by hatred.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging, and it seemed as if he could hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Damn it, if he could win, why would he specifically look for someone who was alone?!
