Chapter 853 Her Temptation
He tapped his toes lightly, and each step was on the void, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, at an astonishing speed.
His face was cold and resolute, his eyes burning with inquiry and urgency.
Tower of the Gods, could it be...

At the same time, in the inn, Luo Li was lying on the soft couch, lazily stuffing a spiritual fruit into her mouth.
Barrett glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you worried at all?"
"What's the point of worrying?" Luo Li chewed the spiritual fruit. "Besides, no matter what their stance is now, they will definitely come to find me in two days at most. We just need to wait."
One day later, at dusk.
Outside the inn window, the setting sun was as red as blood, sprinkling on the quaint stone road, casting mottled light and shadows.
Luo Li's fingers gently stroked the Xuan Yue Sword at her side, with an unclear look in her eyes.
Suddenly, the inn's receptionist knocked on her door and said respectfully, "Guest, two people from the Ancient God Auction House are here on the first floor. They said they want to see you."
"They came earlier than I thought." Luo Li heard this and smiled faintly. She slowly stood up and the Xuan Yue Sword hummed softly, as if it was also expecting something.
She walked into the dim corridor, each step steady and firm.
Luo Li walked down the stairs, the golden sunset shining beside her. She faced the light and looked directly at the two people below.
In the lobby on the first floor, Feng Qingning and a man in a black brocade robe stood in the center.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, stepped into the first floor hall, and said with a smile: "Why did His Excellency Feng come here in person?"
Feng Qingning had a gentle smile on her face, while the man in black looked at Luo Li with sharp eyes and calmly.
Luo Li pretended not to notice and let him look at her.
There was a subtle tension in the air, like the calm before the storm.
Every step Luo Li took seemed to strike out crisp notes on the floor. She walked in front of the two people, and the tip of the Xuan Yue Sword lightly touched the ground, reflecting a dazzling light, illuminating the intricate expressions of the two people in front of her.
Feng Qingning's smile was a little unnatural. "Is it about the elixir? Why don't we go to the auction house to discuss it in detail?"
Luo Li didn't comment, "Okay."
Ancient God Auction House.
Inside the auction house, the lights were bright and the treasures shone brightly.
Under the towering dome of the sky, miniature projections of various magical weapons are suspended, flowing with mysterious light.
Luo Li stepped into it, the Xuan Yue Sword swayed gently, and the sword light and the light of the surrounding treasures complemented each other, making it even more extraordinary.
Feng Qingning led the way, with slightly hurried steps, passing through the bustling guests and entering the familiar room on the fourth floor.
The man in black stopped beside Feng Qingning and turned to look at Luo Li who was walking in.
Luo Li looked relaxed and natural as she walked to the table and sat down. "Sir Feng, is there anything important you want to say?"
The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating the stern face of the man in black. He gently raised his hand and touched a jade slip on the table with his fingertips. The jade slip instantly shone brightly, projecting an image of an ancient map, with mountains, rivers, and secret realm markings clearly visible.
Luo Li's eyes focused, and the Tower of Gods in her body trembled slightly, as if it had sensed this sudden information.
Noticing Luo Li's abnormality at this moment, Feng Liye unsheathed the short blade in his hand and pressed it against Luo Li's neck in the blink of an eye, "Where did the pill come from!"
Luo Li only felt a chill on her neck. Feng Liye's short blade was like the sharpest icicle in winter, carrying an unquestionable chill.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not show any panic. She just slowly raised her hand and touched the hilt of the sword with her fingertips. The Xuan Yue Sword at her waist seemed to sense the calmness of its owner, and the light gradually faded.
Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two people intertwined on the wall. Feng Qingning raised her hand and waved it, and the barrier enveloped the entire room.
Luo Li's eyes were as deep as the night sky. She smiled slightly, a smile that concealed a hint of confusion and indifference. "Who are you, and why do you say that? The elixir was naturally refined by me."
Feng Liye's eyes were cold and the short blade moved slightly, as if it would break the tranquility of the air in the next second.
Luo Li's eyes met his, without dodging or evading. Her fingers slowly stroked the delicate patterns on the Xuan Yue Sword, and a warm power flowed from the sword into her heart.
She moved her fingertips slightly, confirmed that there was nothing on the two of them that could allow others to spy on the place, and curled her lips slightly.
Seeing her smile, Feng Liye secretly thought that something was wrong. Just as he was about to retreat, a nine-story tower suddenly fell from the sky and knocked the two of them to the ground.
The nine-story tower collapsed with a crash, sending dust and debris flying everywhere. The tower was simple and ancient, each floor engraved with intricate totems, gleaming with a faint blue light.
Feng Liye was pressed to the point of suffocation, and the short blade slipped out of his hand and stuck into the floor tiles not far away.
Feng Qingning was also pinned to the ground. She raised her eyes with difficulty and looked at Luo Li, who seemed to be smiling in front of her.
Luo Li half-knelt on the ground, looking at the two people gritting their teeth at her, and chuckled, "Why don't you stand up? Don't you want to?"
Killing people and breaking their hearts, Feng Liye gritted his teeth in anger and tried desperately to break free, but he found that the thing pressing on him was so heavy that even he, a lord-level, could not shake it.
Damn, is she from the Ninth Heaven?
Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the soul and look directly into the secrets deep in Feng Liye's heart.
Feng Li Ye only felt a chill rising from his spine, and his limbs seemed to be tightly bound by invisible chains.
Luo Li stood up, her skirt fluttering, as if she was walking on the clouds. She slowly walked towards the short blade and picked it up lightly. Under the light of the Tower of Gods, the blade reflected a dazzling light, reflecting the playful smile on the corner of her mouth. Everything was under her control.
She said calmly, "You two are really rude. Why do you want to fight and kill as soon as you come in? It's really unpleasant."
Feng Liye frowned and gritted his teeth, "Who on earth are you?"
"Who do I belong to?" Luo Li curled her lips and leaned over to look at him. "You may not know who I am, but I know your identities."
Under the shocked gazes of Feng Qingning and Feng Liye, she gently opened her red lips and said, "The bloodline of the ancient Great Wilderness Spiritual Martial Clan is indeed rare."
Feng Liye's expression was almost unnoticeable.
Feng Qingning gritted her teeth and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"Yeah?"
Luo Li's figure swayed gracefully in the dim candlelight. She slowly approached the window and gently pushed open the window frame. A gust of night wind blew on her face, bringing a bit of coolness.
The moonlight was like a stream of light, pouring down on her, giving her a layer of silver glow and adding a touch of mystery.
Her fingers gently brushed across a pot of spiritual flowers by the window, and the petals trembled slightly, as if responding to the waves in her heart.
Luo Li's eyes were deep. She whispered softly, but her voice was clearly heard by the two of them: "The Great Wilderness Spiritual Martial Ancient Clan is a taboo in the Continent of Gods. The Ancient God Auction House was actually founded by the Great Wilderness Spiritual Martial Ancient Clan. Do you think that person in Jiuchongtian knows about it?"
