Chapter 1289: Reinforcements

Beams of light filled with enormous energy flew across the sky. Many newcomers arrived on the battlefield at this instant. As soon as they appeared, a powerful force swept across and pushed back against the pressure coming from the Blackwater Guardians and Heaven Devouring Guardians.

Countless shocked gazes looked over immediately.

The enormous amount of energy appeared to have condensed into a cloud layer. Thousands of people stood on the cloud as strands of energy rose up, gathered and condensed into a giant formation.

An extremely sharp and majestic aura emanated from it, seemingly capable of easily slicing the sky apart.

At the front of the formation, a cold and heroic man stood upright with his hands behind his back. A domineering pressure radiated from him. Four Duke Bergfrieds materialized above his head as they rumbled amidst the tremendous amount of energy that had condensed.

Many of them recognized him immediately. They all exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that... the Guardian General of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, Li Foluo!"

The reinforcements from Heavenly Dragon Peak had finally arrived.

The rogue cultivators let out a sigh of disappointment. With the way things had developed, they could forget about getting their hands on the Sovereign Pearl now.

Some of them glanced over at Li Luo, with a little admiration in their eyes. During the escape, Li Luo and his team had arduously conquered obstacle after obstacle. He had to overcome strong foes like Zhao Zhuoyan and if he had not defeated him earlier, the latter would have taken his Sovereign Pearl and retreated by now. Even with Li Foluo's arrival, there was little he could do to get the Sovereign Pearl back. Surprisingly, Li Luo had against all odds, managed to hold firm

He had dragged things out and bought enough time for himself.

"This brat is only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage as well..." Some of them sighed. Under ordinary circumstances, they would have expected someone like him to have been cannon fodder in such a conflict. Yet, Li Luo was able to achieve a spectacular result.

When he stepped into Duke stage later, just what would he achieve?

"The Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried from Jiang Qing'e is shocking for sure. However, Li Luo's potential is extraordinary as well. Who knows? In the future, he may become another one that treads the Path of Ascension. The Dragon's Fang Lineage's rise is preordained." Some of the Dukes commented.

The commotion caused this time had been too huge. No matter how it turned out, Li Luo would definitely rise up in fame in the World End's River Region.

As they sighed about it, Chu Qing raised his head and looked up at Li Foluo solemnly. He was a fourth-grade Duke and had brought 5000 Guardians along with him. This meant that his strength could reach the level of a sixth-grade Duke. This would have been sufficient to oppress everyone here.

Alas Chu Qing also understood in his heart that it was no longer possible for him to snatch the Sovereign Pearl from Li Luo now that Li Foluo had arrived. He dispersed the gigantic energy hand and replied, "You came like the falling of timely rain, Guardian General Li Foluo."

If Li Foluo had arrived just a little later, he would have successfully robbed Li Luo already.

Li Foluo took a glance at him and responded indifferently, "I can only say that Li Luo is capable. He was after all capable of dragging things out for so long despite all the Dukes setting their eyes on him."

Chu Qing nodded in agreement as he spoke with a smile, "It's indeed an impressive feat. However, the Sovereign Pearl has attracted the attention of everyone. All four Heavenly Emperor lineages have sent out their armies for it. If the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li wants to have the Sovereign Pearl all for yourself, you must truly be looking down on us."

Chu Qing's tone was calm but his words were sharp. He was planning to pit the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li against all the other 3 Heavenly Emperor lineages at one go.

"Hahaha. My Heaven Devouring Guardians is just here to join the fun. Since things have blown up, we had to show our faces here, otherwise people might think we don't exist. The Sovereign Pearl might be valuable but it's just another ingredient for crafting top grade Foundational Spirit Treasures. It's not THE top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure after all. Chu Qing, don't act like you are ignorant of this fact." Zhu Dahai from the Heaven Devouring Guardians laughed out loudly.

He did not fall for Chu Qing's incendiary words. After all, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu had a pretty decent relationship with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Although they competed from time to time, it was much better when compared to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.

Chu Qing felt a little helpless after hearing his response. This Zhu Dahai was clearly just playing as the troublemaker here. His plans had completely fallen apart. "Alright, Chu Qing, stop wasting time with all this nonsense. You're planning to wait for Qin Zhenlin, the Guardian General of the Nine Tribulations Guardians to arrive as well right? You can forget about it. Guardian General Li Tingyue has taken the Dragon's Scale Guardians and intercepted him at the southern side of Black Soul Peak." Li Foluo told him calmly.

Chu Qing was shocked to hear this as he smiled back bitterly. It seemed that his plans had been found out. Li Foluo and the Dragon's Fang Guardians weren't the only reinforcements sent out from Heavenly Dragon Peak.

It would be game over if the other Heavenly Dragon Guardians were here as well.

Chu Qing sighed softly and shook his head. He turned over and told Qin Yi, "It seems like we'll be returning empty handed. We will be due for another round of scolding from Master later."

Qin Yi whispered back to him, "There is nothing we can do about it. The reinforcements from Heavenly Dragon Peak had arrived too quickly. We can't expect Martial Brother to snatch it from Li Foluo's hands, that's too unreasonable."

"If a Dragon Fang Envoy had appeared, I would not have hesitated. However, Li Foluo graced us with his presence. I wonder if I'll stand a chance of beating him when reach the third-grade Duke stage in future?" Chu Qing replied.

Although he was still a second-grade Duke, he had already defeated third-grade Dukes in the past. His immense and formidable foundation was indisputable.

"There is no hurry, Senior. You are exceptionally talented. You'll surely become the Guardian General of the Nine Tribulations Guardians in the future." Qin Yi responded with a chuckle. "I am afraid Guardian General Qin Zhenlin will not be willing to give up this role." Chu Qing shook his head with a grin.

As the two of them spoke casually, Li Luo quickly brought his group over to Li Foluo's side. He finally felt a sense of safety looking at the thousands of Dragon Fang Guardians standing behind Li Foluo.

"Li Luo, you have an exceptional talent for causing trouble. You merely left for a mission and yet you've alerted half the World End's River Region, causing everyone to mobilize." Li Foluo said as he glanced at Li Luo.

He was originally carrying out his own mission when an emergency summons came from the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion. He was asked to rush over and aid Li Luo as fast as he could.

"You can't blame me for this." Li Luo looked back at him innocently. It was already a rare occurrence for a Sovereign Pearl to even appear. How could he possibly give up on it in that case?

"Oh right. Guardian General, please hurry and help Sister Qing'e!" Li Luo exclaimed suddenly.

He might be safe now but Jiang Qing'e had been left behind to face many of the Dukes alone.

Li Foluo waved his hands. "Don't worry. Li Jushen has left to reinforce her with the Dragon's Bone Guardians. Hall Master Li Qingpeng has also flown over to the Golden Stone Valley personally. He heard that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao had sent out many powerful Dukes and was worried Hall Master Jinpan would be at a disadvantage. Thus he's also brought some friends."

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard about it. It wasn't an unfounded comment that he was the source of trouble... Three Guardian Generals from the Heavenly Dragon Five Guardian Armies had rushed over due to this incident.

During his escape, he had constantly been in a state of tension and stress. Now that the Guardians were here, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion pervade his body. It was truly a blessing that he managed to hold onto the Sovereign Pearl successfully.

A few moments later, he noticed beams of light filled with powerful energy flashing across the sky as countless figures appeared.

In a short while, a huge army of them had appeared in the sky.

Li Luo looked over and noticed the beautiful Jiang Qing'e instantly. He rushed over and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Sister Qing'e?"

"Haha, Dragon's Fang Envoy Jiang is truly an unrivaled talent. When I arrived, she had completely suppressed Zhao Jiyun and the other Dukes by herself. She was really amazing." A tall and well built man spoke.

This was Li Jushen, the Guardian General of the Dragon's Bone Guardians.

His voice was clear and resounded loudly across the sky like the boom of thunder.

Not too far away, Chu Qing and Qin Yi had also heard his words. Their eyes wavered as they glanced over at the beauty who floated in the middle of the sky.

"She's the unrivaled talent with the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried?" Chu Qing's gaze seemed to ignite with interest as his competitive nature was aroused. "So that's the fiancee of Li Luo... Jiang Qing'e?" Qin Yi thought in her heart.
