Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1699

Chapter 1696: Forcing Lin Miao Out

Out. Li Luo’s attack was like thunder, swift and fierce.

So much so that when Xi Li was stripped of his King’s crown and relegated to the rank of Ninth-Rank Marquis, the leaders of the various factions in the square, even the Zhu Ze Palace Master, were somewhat unable to react.

After a few breaths of dead silence, unconcealed horror washed over everyone’s faces.

The gazes directed at Li Luo were filled with shock and terror.

That was a One-Crown Champion!

Although the rate of King-level experts emerging in the past decade of Tianyun has been greater than in almost the entire century, their value has not decreased much. For example, in the East Sea Realm, the combined number of King-level experts among all the clans and sects is no more than a handful of hands. It

can be said that every King-level expert, even a One-Crown Champion, is a top-tier powerhouse in their region. Normally, they would be feared and respected.

But now… They witnessed with their own eyes, in a flash of lightning, Xi Li, the reigning One-Crown Champion, was easily stripped of his crown by Li Luo, relegated to the Ninth Rank of Marquis.

The so-called King Realm powerhouses seemed like frail children before Li Luo’s eyes.

What a terrifying and domineering suppression power!

In that moment, everyone present experienced firsthand the turbulent and intimidating power hidden beneath the calm demeanor of this handsome young man.

Everyone in the branch family was horrified, from the Patriarch Xi Song to the Xis, their parents, who had endured years of oppression at the hands of Xi Li, a trauma they had long endured. Yet, now, Xi Li had been effortlessly suppressed and sealed by the young man Xi Chan had brought back.

Such power made them tremble.

But at the same time, a flicker of excited hope welled up in their eyes. Perhaps… the fate of their branch family had truly arrived at a turning point!

“Abin, it seems that letting Chan’er escape from this devil’s den was perhaps the right decision.” Xi Song looked at Xi’s father and sighed softly.

Xi’s father scratched his head. He did that back then simply because he felt sorry for his daughter and didn’t want her to fall into Xi Li’s clutches. At that time, he could never have imagined that Xi Chan would have the fate she has today.

Xi’s mother hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I wonder what the relationship between that Lord Li Luo and Chan’er is…”

“Didn’t he say that Xi Chan was his mentor and had done him a favor in the past?” Xi’s father said.

Xi’s mother muttered, “Could Chan’er possibly teach such a monstrous student? No one would believe it. After what happened today, who would dare approach Chan’er? What will happen to her in the future?”

Xi Song glared at her and said, “Women’s opinions!”

From the perspective of the future of the branch family, he hoped everyone would believe that Xi Chan and Li Luo had a special relationship. That way, other factions, including the Beastmaster Spirit Hall, would be wary of the Xi family. If Xi Chan ever married someone else, the Xi family would no longer be able to rely on Li Luo’s prestige.

Xi’s mother bit her lip and fell silent. As a woman, she naturally didn’t think too much; she just wanted her daughter to have a good home.

Ah!

Ah!

Their conversation was finally interrupted by Xi Li’s frantic, pained growl.

Many eyes turned to see Xi Li frantically activating his physiognomy, attempting to regain the strength of a First Crown Champion. He could sense that his crown hadn’t been shattered, but rather sealed by Li Luo through a profound technique.

However, despite his frantic efforts, his physiognomy proved ineffective.

The once vast and powerful physiognomy of the King Realm was now like a stagnant pool of water, unable to stir a ripple, impossible to awaken.

On the first seat, Xi Wenwu, his face shrouded in despair, stared at Xi Li, whose physiognomy fluctuations were rapidly weakening. He had never expected Li Luo’s solution to the problem to be so brutal and direct.

Xi Li was a First Crown Champion, right? Xi Chan, a Ninth Rank Supreme Marquis, couldn’t compete, right?

Li Luo didn’t have the ability to transform Xi Chan into a First Crown Champion, but he did have the ability to transform Xi Li into a Ninth Rank Supreme Marquis.

Wouldn’t that boost Xi Chan’s competitiveness?

Xi Wenwu’s lips twitched slightly, and a look of awe crossed his face as he looked at Li Luo. He was such a seasoned warrior, how could he not understand that Li Luo was demonstrating his power?

The other party’s power and background were so overwhelming that he could disregard any of the Xi family’s rules. No, not just the Xi family’s, but even the rules of the Beast Taming Alliance were powerless against Li Luo.

However, Xi Wenwu wasn’t angered by Li Luo’s domineering sealing of Xi Li. On the contrary, a sense of satisfaction welled up within him. Xi Li, that heartless wretch, whom he had single-handedly promoted, had colluded with the Beast Taming Spirit Hall to plot against him. Previously, he had been forced to suppress his anger for the sake of his family’s future. But now, with Xi Chan’s sudden return, and the presence of such a powerful figure, he had undoubtedly opened up a second option.

Xi Wenwu was very pleased with Li Luo’s power and background, but his only complaint was that Xi Chan wasn’t his woman… Otherwise, with this close relationship, the Xi family’s position in the East Sea Realm would be even more secure.

Even the Beast Taming Palace wouldn’t dare act so recklessly. After all,

while the Beast Taming Palace is powerful, it only has a single Heavenly King behind it. Li Luo, on the other hand, has three Heavenly Kings behind him, as well as a peerless ninth-grade being!

Furthermore, Li Luo’s potential is terrifying. He possesses ten unprecedented affinities, and he might even reach the Heavenly King realm in the future. What a powerful force!

If Xi Chan hadn’t been a family friend, with such a background, the Xi family wouldn’t be able to find her even with a lantern.

The drastic change in Xi Wenwu’s expression also caught the attention of Palace Master Zhu Ze. His heart suddenly sank. If Xi Wenwu gave in, then Li Luo would really be able to control the Xi family with full justification.

“Sir Li Luo, the Xi family is a member of our Beast Taming Alliance after all. It’s a bit too much of an insult for you to interfere in their family affairs so rudely.” Palace Master Zhu Ze said in a deep voice.

Li Luo looked at Zhu Ze and said calmly, “You have already notified the Beast Taming Palace, right?”

Zhu Ze’s expression froze slightly. From the moment Li Luo appeared, he had already sent the news to the Beast Taming Palace with a secret method. Obviously, he thought he was doing it very secretly, but he had already discovered it.

And Li Luo did not stop him. Obviously, he did it on purpose.

Zhu Ze’s expression gradually became solemn. What was Li Luo trying to do? Could it be that his ultimate goal was to target their Beast Control Spirit Hall?

“Speaking of which, our lineage of Heavenly King Li and your Beast Control Spirit Hall have a long-standing grudge. A few years ago, your Grand Master, Lin Miao, even visited the lineage of Heavenly King Qin…”

Li Luo’s calm voice lingered in the square, drawing a wave of apprehension from the various faction leaders present.

This Ten-Aspect King… It seemed his true target was the Beast Control Spirit Hall?!

Under Li Luo’s gaze, as calm as a deep pool, Palace Master Zhu Ze, the Double Crowned King, felt a terrifying pressure surge over him like a tide, completely sealing off the space around him. Palace Master

Zhu Ze’s expression changed drastically, and the Aspect Force within him erupted. Two layers of the King’s Crown emerged above his head, emitting and channeling a vast source of power.

Li Luo extended his palm and gently waved it. The void suddenly shattered, and a massive purple-gold dragon claw emerged. Its purple-gold scales were inscribed with countless Origin Runes. Covered in it, the claw pressed down directly against the two crowns of kings atop Palace Master Zhu Ze’s head.

Boom!

The void trembled violently, and the cracks in the shattered space continued to spread. Zhu Ze

‘s blood and energy surged violently, and blood formed at the corners of his mouth. The two vast crowns above his head stirred the tides of Origin, desperately resisting the slowly descending purple-gold dragon claw.

At this moment of actual combat, Zhu Ze could only sense the unfathomable depths of Li Luo’s power. A simple palm strike from the opponent had crushed him to the ground.

This scene shocked all the forces present.

After all, unlike Xi Li, a newly crowned champion, Zhu Ze was not only a double champion but also the master of the Beast Taming Spirit Hall. His methods and background were far superior to those of ordinary double champions. But now, with Li Luo’s attack, Zhu Ze was instantly plunged into a desperate situation.

If this continued, he would likely suffer the same fate as Xi Li.

“Grand Master! Save me!”

Zhu Ze understood this as well, and without further ado, he roared out.

The roar resonated through the void, audible for thousands of miles.

The moment Zhu Ze’s roar rang out, a massive rift tens of thousands of feet wide ripped through the sky. The next moment, a pitch-black dragon claw, emitting a terrifying poisonous aura, burst through the air, flowing with a vast and boundless source of power, striking Li Luo’s purple-gold dragon claw.

Simultaneously, a deep, thunderous roar echoed.

“Leader Li Luo, you’ve crossed the line. This is Xuanling Shenzhou, not Dongyu Shenzhou.”

As this voice rang out, a deep sense of awe crossed the faces of the leaders of various factions present. Even Xi Wenwu, the dying man, had a solemn expression.

For the owner of this voice was none other than the Grand Master of the Beast Taming Spirit Hall and the current leader of the Beast Taming Alliance.

Lin Miao!
