Chapter 1248: Standing Guard over Heavenly Dragon Peak

A dragon-shaped flying ship slowly soared across the sky.

The five Lineage Chiefs that held the highest authority in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li were on board. Li Tianji and the three other Lineage Chiefs were looking at Li Jingzhe with complex expressions.

"Lineage Chief Jingzhe, you've quietly approached the threshold of the Triple Crowned King Stage. You make us feel like we've wasted all these years for nothing," Li Qingying, the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Scale Lineage, said with a laugh.

"It was no wonder you dared to barge into the base of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin alone. From today onwards, the Triple Crowned King Li Jingzhe will be known in every corner of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent!" Li Xuanwu, the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Bone Lineage, exclaimed loudly. The void shook with his voice.

Li Jingzhe shook his head and replied, "It's just a tiny step forward, I'm not a real Triple Crowned King yet."

"Hey, there is no need to be humble, Lineage Chief Jingzhe. Lineage Chief Tianji has been cultivating for years and he hasn't taken that tiny step yet," Li Jinjiao, the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Horn Lineage, commented with a grin.

"He has higher ambitions. He wants to reach it in a single step," Li Jingzhe said.

On the side, Li Tianji shook his head. "You have acted too rashly today. We have no evidence to prove that Qin Lian was involved in the ambush on Li Luo. It could have also been the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao after all. Li Luo did cause them significant humiliation back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave."

Li Jingzhe slowly replied, "That is not important. If anyone is targeting Li Luo, you can be certain Qin Lian has a hand in it. If anything happens to him, I will make her pay, regardless of whether she's actually responsible."

Hearing this left the other four Lineage Chiefs at a loss for words. Li Jingzhe was clearly targeting her. Perhaps it was because of the grievances from the incident years ago?

Li Tianji sighed. "The World's End River Region is a chaotic place, and you will be guarding it for stime. At most, there is a year until the next Stygian Rain of Calamity. We don't know which Other King from the shadow world will appear this time, but with you, a Triple Crowned King, standing guard, Heavenly Dragon Peak will definitely feel safer."

Once the Stygian Rain of Calamity fell, the void in the World's End River Region would be left in a constant state of chaos and it would be very challenging for any of them to send their projections over to help.

The Other Kings from the shadow world were always plotting to make use of this opportunity to invade the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

In the past, Other Kings had actually managed to penetrate the defenses of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. A large group of Others was thus able to invade, causing a horrifying catastrophe.

As such, many of the major powers in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent had made preparations for such a scenario, to prevent it from reoccurring again. The four Heavenly Emperor lineages had even sent their own armies to stand guard and protect the border.

Li Jingzhe nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Tianji did not say anything further. The projections of the four Lineage Chiefs gradually faded away.

Li Jingzhe stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up into the sky and observed the vast and mysterious World's End River. With his strength, he could faintly peer through the water and see the darkness that constantly flowed behind it.

It seemed like an unimaginable disaster would soon befall the World's End River's Region.

Li Luo was currently cultivating here as well. With Li Jingzhe standing guard over Heavenly Dragon Peak, he could protect his grandson to sextent. Li Jingzhe closed his eyes. The dragon-shaped flying ship sailed across the sky. After a few moments, he gradually opened his eyes and looked at Heavenly Dragon Peak in the distance.

The ship passed through the mountain range and arrived in Heavenly Dragon City directly.

At this point, Li Jiluo, Li Qingpeng, and Li Jinpan had already arrived. They were both surprised and respectful when they saw the flying ship's arrival.

They had already learned about the incident at Abyssal City.

After all, the commotion caused by Li Jingzhe and Qin Jiujie was too large to ignore. Even though the cities were very far apart, they could sense the vigorous movement of worldly natural energy in the surroundings.

As his sons, Li Jinpan and Li Qingpeng were a little confused when they saw Li Jingzhe reveal that he was a Quasi-Triple Crown King. Clearly, they were not aware of this either.

However, they could barely hide their excitement after the surprise.

With this, Li Jingzhe's strength had surpassed that of Li Tianji, the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Blood Lineage, right?

This would boost the morale of the Dragon's Fang Lineage tremendously. It was the first tsomething like this had ever happened!

Shortly later, Li Jingzhe appeared in front of Li Qingpeng and Li Jiluo. However, he waved his hand casually before they could pay their respects. "It's okay, get back to your own posts."

At the stime, his eyes swept across the vast Heavenly Dragon City. Countless strands of energy appeared in his vision. After a few moments, he vanished in the direction of the Dragon Fang Gate.

Li Jinpan and Li Qingpeng exchanged helpless looks. Clearly, he had set off to look for his beloved grandson.

In the meantime, Li Jingzhe had already arrived at the training ground of the Dragon's Fang Guardians. Many of the Dragon's Fang Guardians were training intensively at the moment.

It seemed like no one had noticed that an elderly man had suddenly appeared. He did not make any noise so as not to disturb their training and simply looked towards a corner of the training ground. Li Luo was training with Jiang Qing'e there.

That said, Jiang Qing'e was clearly holding back. The two of them fought intensely, one with six resonances and the other with triple ninth-grade light resonances. This was a truly astonishing fight that caught the attention of quite a few Dragon's Fang Guardians.

At this point, Li Foluo, who was standing on the stage, had noticed the appearance of the newcomer. He was completely taken aback by the sudden intrusion. However, when he recognized who it was, he flew forward and bowed down respectfully. "The Guardian General of Dragon's Fang Guardians, Li Foluo, pays his respects to the Lineage Chief."

He had not restrained his voice, so everything on the training ground instantly cto a halt. All of their gazes turned towards that elderly man.

They quickly reacted and paid their respects as well.

"Greetings, Lineage Chief!"

Many of them felt great excitement. After all, they had never actually seen Li Jingzhe from the day they entered Dragon's Fang Guardians to date.

He was a legendary figure that they had only heard about.

Who would have thought that they would get the chance to see him in the flesh?

Li Jingzhe waved his hand, signaling them to stand down.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had stopped their fight as well. Li Luo looked over at Li Jingzhe happily before he greeted him. "Greetings, Lineage Chief."

Li Luo was considered part of the Dragon's Fang Guardians right now. Therefore, it would not be appropriate for him to act too personally with Li Jingzhe. Jiang Qing'e followed suit and greeted Li Jingzhe with a bow.

Li Jingzhe looked at the two of them, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Li Luo, Qing'e, follow me."

With that, he turned around and left the training ground, heading towards a small cottage.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e took a glance at each other. They then hurriedly followed him.

As the two of them walked into the small cottage with Li Jingzhe, the old man sat down on a stone seat. He looked towards Li Luo and said, "I visited Abyssal City earlier and had a fight with Qin Jiujie."

Li Luo was a little confused and did not understand what exactly had happened. "Who is Qin Jiujie?"

"The Grand Palace Master of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. He is a Dual Crowned King," Li Jingzhe explained.

Li Luo was shocked to hear this. Li Jingzhe had gone over to Abyssal City earlier and fought against a Dual Crowned King? Why was he talking about it like it was just a walk in the park?

"Grandpa, are you okay? Abyssal City is the headquarters of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin in the World's End River Region!" Li Luo asked worriedly.

"I am fine. However, Qin Jiujie suffered a slight injury."

Li Luo was surprised to hear that. Qin Jiujie was also a Dual Crowned King, and he even had a homeground advantage. How had he ended up getting bested by his grandfather?

"I had a breakthrough a while ago and have gotten a little closer to the Triple Crowned King Stage. That is how," Li Jingzhe explained as though reading his mind. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e looked at the old man in front of them in disbelief.

He had mentioned getting to the Triple Crowned King Stage in the most casual tone possible. However, this was news that would shake up the whole Heavenly Origin Divine Continent...

“Grandpa, you're really good at acting!” In the end, Li Luo grinned happily and said. "Congratulations, Grandpa."

Li Jingzhe continued, "I also injured Qin Lian. She should have suffered quite a bit as a result."

Li Luo finally understood. "Grandpa, did you go to Abyssal City because of the ambush on me? Did you think it was orchestrated by her?"

"It doesn't matter if it was her or not. She deserves a beating," Li Jingzhe responded.

Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his response. Li Jingzhe then looked intently at Li Luo as he slowly asked, "Li Luo, do you know anything about the Genesis Seed?"
