Luo Li, originally the youngest family head of an ancient clan in the 21st century and the most talented alchemist, died one day and transmigrated into the body of the good-for-nothing eldest young...
Chapter 647: The opinions of people around
Qin Chuan coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "I've heard a little bit about it. It's a mysterious and powerful organization that only follows its own rules and is hard to understand. However, generally speaking, the Zhutian League is already considered a top-tier force in the Myriad Beasts Continent."
As he spoke, a breeze blew by, rustling the leaves, as if telling the many unknown secrets of the Zhutian League.
Feng Jiusi clearly agreed with him. He nodded seriously and said, "Qin Chuan is right. My family has also had dealings with the people from the Zhutian League. Aside from their mysterious origins, they are indeed quite good people."
Luo Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "Do you have a deep understanding of the Zhutian League?"
Before Luo Li finished speaking, Feng Jiusi's expression became solemn. He raised his hand slightly and pointed in the distance.
He sighed and slowly began to speak, "I once stumbled upon a secret place of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance. There, ancient trees towered into the forest, and moonlight filtered through the dense branches, illuminating the mossy stone path in a dappled, shimmering manner."
"I walked deep into the dense forest and found an ancient altar in the center, surrounded by a faint blue light. It seemed as if whispers were echoing in my ears, telling of the glory and secrets of the past, which made people feel awe. I didn't dare to stay for long, and I was afraid of being discovered by the Zhutian League, so I left."
Qin Chuan also sighed, "Although the Zhutian League is powerful, its origins are very mysterious. The only thing we know is that they have members of the Light God Clan."
Luo Li lowered her eyes, "Is that so..."
Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan nodded. It was not that they were unwilling to say, but they really didn’t understand much!
Qin Chuan asked with some doubt, "Why are you asking about the Zhutian League?"
Luo Li shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, I just happened to meet someone mentioning the Zhutian Alliance when I was out, so I just remembered and asked about it."
Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan did not doubt her and nodded, "I see."
Luo Li nodded and stood up. "You guys can stay in the Territory Lord's Mansion for the day. I'll go back to my room first."
Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan smiled and thanked him, "Okay, thank you very much."
It was soon noon, and Di Xuanming and Ye Yuan returned.
Luo Li was still refining the elixir in the house. When Di Xuanming came in, she was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you back? Why didn't you tell me?"
Di Xuanming looked a little tired. He smiled and said, "I'll rush back as soon as I finish dealing with this matter."
Di Xuanming walked closer as he spoke, gently brushing away the dust on Luo Li's shoulders, his eyes as gentle as the warm spring sun.
He noticed the spiritual plants scattered on the table and the green smoke rising from the alchemy furnace, and the air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
Luo Li looked up and met his smiling eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
He took her hand and stroked it gently, as if silently expressing his longing and concern.
The sunlight outside the window was shining brightly, shining on the two of them, giving this quiet time a golden glow.
Luo Li's cheeks flushed slightly. She gently pulled her hand away and pointed to the several bottles of refined pills on the table. "I'm researching new pills."
Di Xuanming smiled and nodded. He reached out and gently stroked the spiritual plants. His fingertips seemed to feel the vitality contained in each herb. He whispered, "Our Ah Li is truly amazing."
After saying that, he slowly sat down, side by side with Luo Li, and immersed themselves in this quiet and warm time together. The air was filled with the scent of sweetness and happiness.
Luo Li finished refining the last batch of pills and put them into a jade bottle. She threw a few more bottles to Di Xuanming and asked, "What have you been busy with recently?"
Di Xuanming held Luo Li's hand and explained, "It's still about Uncle Gu."
His voice was low and gentle. "He's been studying a scroll of secret realms left behind by ancient times. Some time ago, he said he found some clues, and they happened to be in the Jinglong Territory. Ye Yuan and I decided to go there for him."
A solemn look flashed in his eyes as he spoke softly, "The place revealed in the secret map is fraught with danger. We went through untold hardships before discovering the secret of the map in a cave. Ye Yuan was nearly caught in a trap, but thankfully, the map we brought back contains records of the ancient war between the gods. Uncle Gu will surely be very interested."
Luo Li held her chin with one hand and tilted her head slightly, "I see, that's a good thing."
Di Xuanming nodded slightly and smiled at the girl beside him, "Have you been in Shenxiao City lately?"
"Almost all of them are here." Luo Li nodded, then thought of something and asked, "I went out yesterday and ran into someone from the Zhutian League. Ah Ming, do you know anyone from the Zhutian League?"
After listening to Luo Li's words, Di Xuanming nodded, "We have had some friendship over the past few years. After all, Ye Yuan is the Lord of the Jinglong Territory, so he has to deal with the Zhutian Alliance."
Luo Li said thoughtfully, "So, in your eyes, what is the character of the people of the Zhutian League?"
Emperor Xuanming's gaze was profound as he spoke slowly, "The people of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance have always been mysterious and unpredictable in their actions, like a blade in the dark night, sharp and secretive."
"Among them are many talented individuals, each with their own strengths. I once witnessed one of the alliance's top masters single-handedly battle through a dark realm rift under the moonlight. His figure was as graceful as a startled swan, his sword gleaming like a dragon—it was truly breathtaking."
"But the people I've seen from the Zhutian League are all kindhearted. But the ambitions, or goals, of the Zhutian League as a whole are as deep as the abyss and difficult to fathom."
Di Xuanming sighed softly, "After all, I don't have a close relationship with them. I can only say that our relationship isn't bad. Besides, their whereabouts are always elusive, so I don't know much about them either."
Di Xuanming's words seemed to tear a crack in the silent night, allowing Luo Li to glimpse a hidden corner of the Zhutian League.
She pursed her lips and said, "I'll probably go to the Zhutian League in a few days."
Emperor Xuanming was stunned, but still asked, "Do you want me to go with you? After all, you haven't dealt with anyone from the Zhutian League yet."
Luo Li shook her head, "No need, I should be back soon."
Di Xuanming respected Luo Li's decision, so he nodded and said, "Okay, if anything happens, be sure to contact me."
Luo Li squeezed his hand to reassure him.
"Oh right." Luo Li said awkwardly, "There's one more thing..."
Di Xuanming was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Luo Li told Di Xuanming the whole story of the Ice Phoenix from beginning to end.
After hearing Luo Li's words, Di Xuanming laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the Monster Pavilion."
Luo Li smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"
Seven days later, as the morning light broke, Luo Li, dressed in a light blue suit, looked heroic and met Baili Muchen and his party outside the gate of Shenxiao City.
