Chapter 1243 Search
Luo Li slowly closed her eyes, a cold anger gathering in her chest, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper determination. She couldn't panic, especially at this moment.
"Elder Li," Luo Li opened her eyes, her gaze sharp, "continue the investigation, focusing on those forces that have given vague responses and their surrounding areas. At the same time, mark the approximate location of the last known missing divine light."
"Yes!" Elder Li responded immediately.
"A-Ming," Luo Li turned to Di Xuanming, "The Myriad Laws Source Pool must not be lost. You must personally oversee it. I need to ensure the absolute safety of those within."
Di Xuanming looked at her deeply, and without asking any more questions, he just nodded: "Don't worry, I'm here."
He understood that Luo Li was going to personally deal with the "missing" inheritors. Protecting everyone in the pool was the backing for her actions.
Emperor Xuanming's figure merged into the numerous restrictions at the entrance of the Pool of All Laws like an inky cloud.
Luo Li stepped out of the meeting hall and stood on the roof of the highest attic in the City Lord's Mansion. The night wind rustled her long, dark hair and robes.
She slowly raised her right hand. There was no bright light at her fingertips, only several strands of condensed soul power gathered.
"go."
A very low whisper was heard in the silent City Lord's Mansion.
Those soul powers were like arrows shot from a bow, disappearing into the night in an instant.
Luo Li's gaze turned towards the western part of the continent, where three divine lights had once appeared, but no one had ever reached Buli City.
The western border is the sphere of influence of the Black Rock Territory, which once had close ties with the Ninth Heaven.
"Black Rock Territory." She whispered the name, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
With a slight movement of her body, Luo Li turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the western border.
The night wind whistled in her ears, and the mountains and rivers below were rapidly receding, but her heart was unusually calm.
Every moment of delay would increase the danger for the detained inheritors. If the power of the divinity could not be properly guided for a long time, it would likely backfire on its master.
One day later, outside a secret valley on the border of the Black Rock Territory.
Luo Li restrained her breath and hid in the shadow of the cliff. The suppressed cry of pain of a young man could be faintly heard from the valley.
She looked intently and saw a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old tied to a stone pillar with several black chains in the center of the valley. A dim ochre-colored divine pattern was faintly flickering between his eyebrows.
The boy was covered in wounds, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot of torture.
Around him stood several men in black with gloomy auras. The leader was holding a black token and constantly urging the remaining demonic energy on the token to try to erode the divine pattern on the boy's forehead.
But the seal is still there, these evil spirits can't do anything.
"Evil creature! Why don't you hand over your godhead obediently!" The leading man in black shouted sternly, and the demonic energy was urged even faster.
The boy was shaking with pain, but he gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes full of stubbornness: "Don't even think about it!"
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!" The man in black laughed in anger. "Wait until we extract your divine essence, and then we'll see how you can still be so stubborn!"
Just as the demonic energy of the token in his hand was about to invade the boy's sea of consciousness, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the valley:
"Who gave you the courage to touch the people of the Alliance of Gods?"
Before he finished speaking, a soul skill broke through the air and instantly cut off the black chains that bound the boy.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Li's figure appeared in front of the young man, and the soul power around her expanded like a barrier, isolating all the evil spirits outside.
The faces of the men in black changed drastically. When they saw that it was Luo Li, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed. "It's Luo Li, the leader of the Alliance of Gods! Capture her and present her to the Palace Master. We will surely achieve great success!"
Luo Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. Soul power surged at her fingertips, and the aura of Chaos Jade quietly spread.
Those men in black felt that their soul power suddenly stagnated, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
"You don't know your own limitations."
With a light sneer, Luo Li's figure flashed, leaving several afterimages on the spot.
Screams rang out one after another, but in an instant, several men in black fell to the ground, their lives gone.
She leaned over and untied the restraints on the young man. Looking at his pale face, she took out a Saint King Pill and handed it to him: "Can you leave?"
The young man took the pill and swallowed it. He felt the lost strength in his body gradually returning. Gratitude and admiration flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Alliance Leader, for saving me! I can still walk!"
Luo Li nodded and helped him up: "There are two more people, they should be nearby, let's go find them."
The boy was startled, then asked excitedly: "Do you know where they are?"
"The divine light has the same origin, so there is a natural connection." Luo Li lightly touched the divine pattern on the boy's brow with her fingertips and closed her eyes.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed to the depths of the valley: "Over there, there is still a trace of life, but it is very faint."
The two of them immediately rushed towards the depths of the valley, and dealt with several waves of black-clad guards along the way. Finally, they found two other inheritors who were also imprisoned in a cave blocked by a formation.
Their condition was worse than that of the previous young man. Their divine patterns were almost dim and had obviously been eroded by the demonic energy.
Luo Li acted decisively, breaking the formation to rescue the people and feeding them the Saint King Pill. After doing all this, she looked up towards the core of the Black Rock Domain with a cold look in her eyes.
"We'll settle the Black Rock Territory account later."
She took three weak inheritors with her, turned into streams of light, and flew towards the direction of Buli City.
In the night sky, three faint divine lights lit up again, like ignited sparks, flying towards the city that gathered countless hopes.
In other corners of the continent, similar rescues and confrontations are also quietly taking place.
Those forces that withhold the heir, regardless of their purpose, will soon face the most direct wrath of all forces in the Alliance of Gods.
When Luo Li returned to Buli City with the three inheritors, waves of resonance of laws were coming from the direction of the Source Pool of All Laws.
The restriction set by Emperor Xuanming emitted a soft halo, and it was obvious that the inheritors in the pool had entered a deep state of refining.
After placing the rescued teenagers in the Alliance Academy's Dan Pavilion, Luo Li immediately summoned the elder in charge of medical care. "Use the Concentrating Spirit Grass and Purple Heart Lotus to brew a Soul-Nourishing Soup, and feed it to them every half hour. Their divine runes have been corroded by demonic energy, so they need to be nurtured with the medicinal liquid for three days before being taught the Heart-Refining Technique."
"Yes, leader." The elder accepted the order respectfully. Looking at the divine pattern on the brows of the three young men, which was weak but had stabilized again, he couldn't help but sigh. If Luo Li had not arrived in time, these three fires that could have illuminated the road to disaster would probably have been extinguished in the gutter of the Black Rock Domain.
That night, Elder Li hurriedly delivered a secret report: "Alliance Leader, news has arrived from the Far North Snow Region: the two divine lights that once shone there are now being held captive deep within the Ice Palace by the Snow Region's royal family. They claim the inheritor needs to retreat and consolidate their power, but in reality, they've deployed heavy troops to guard the area. Even our envoys were stopped at the Snow Region's border."
Luo Li snorted coldly. The Snow Region has always been neutral and has always been neutral on the mainland. It has never participated in the disputes on the mainland. But now it has detained the inheritor, obviously planning to control the divine nature.
"The Snowland Royal Family..." She looked out the window toward the northern border, where the night sky was covered with snow year-round. "Did they think that by hiding the heir in the Ice Palace and controlling him, they could avoid this catastrophe?"
Di Xuanming appeared behind her at some point, fiddling with an ice crystal in his hand. "The Snow Region's Ice Soul Formation can freeze the soul and forcibly suppress the restlessness of the divine nature. But suppression is not the same as refinement. If this continues, the souls of the two children will be torn apart by both their divine nature and the formation."
He threw the ice crystal to Luo Li, and two blurry figures were reflected in the ice crystal. They were the inheritors imprisoned in the Ice Palace, a girl with a snowflake divine pattern on her brow, and a boy with a thunder aura lingering around his body. Both of them had painful expressions on their faces, and the divine patterns flickered.
Luo Li's grip on the ice crystal suddenly tightened, causing the ice crystal to crack. "I'm going to the North tomorrow."
"I'll go with you." Di Xuanming's tone left no room for doubt. "The Snow Region King is a Saint Lord-level powerhouse. It's too risky for you to go alone."
Luo Li raised her eyes to look at him, her figure reflected in her heterochromatic pupils, clearly filled with worry.
She nodded gently: "Okay."
The next morning, the two of them transformed into a stream of light and rushed out of the city, heading straight for the snowy region in the north.
Three days later, in the Snowland Ice Palace.
The Snow Region King sat upright on the Ice Crystal Throne, listening to his subordinates' report with a frown on his face. "Luo Li and Di Xuanming have broken through three lines of defense and are less than a hundred miles from the Ice Palace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard knelt. "They are completely unreasonable. They directly destroyed our border watchtowers and said that if the successor is not released, they will demolish the entire Snow Region."
The Snow Region King slammed the table and stood up, his ice-blue robe fluttering in the wind. "How dare you! Do you really think my Snow Region is easy to bully? Give me your order to activate the Ice Soul Formation. I want to see how they can break the Snow Region's ten thousand year old formation!"
Just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the Ice Palace.
The entire ice palace shook violently, and the gems on the ice crystal throne fell one after another.
The Snow King's face changed drastically and he rushed out of the palace. He saw Luo Li floating in the clouds above the Ice Palace, holding the Chaos Jade, and melting the light curtain of the Ice Soul Array bit by bit.
Emperor Xuanming stood outside the center of the formation, and his dark golden soul power hit the base of the formation like a tide. Every impact made the formation emit a buzzing sound as if it could not bear the heavy burden.
"Luo Li! How dare you destroy my Ice Palace formation?!" the Snow King roared.
Luo Li looked down at him, her voice clear and cold through the wind and snow: "King of the Snow Region, hand over the successor, and I will spare a single brick or tile of your Ice Palace. Otherwise, today will be the day your Snow Region's ten thousand-year foundation will be destroyed."
She moved her fingertips slightly, the light of the Chaos Jade increased greatly, and a crack instantly appeared on the light curtain of the Ice Soul Array.
The two inheritors imprisoned in the Ice Palace seemed to have sensed something. The divine patterns on their brows suddenly lit up and resonated with the Chaos Jade, causing the laws within the formation to become disordered.
"No!" The Snow King watched the cracks in the formation spread and finally realized that he had underestimated the connection between the godhead and the Chaos Jade, and even more so, he had underestimated Luo Li's determination.
He gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Let them out!"
A moment later, two figures staggered out of the Ice Palace. They were the two imprisoned inheritors.
When the girl saw Luo Li, tears immediately welled up in her eyes: "Leader!"
