Chapter 1270: Information from Golden Dragon Mountain

"Yes, Second Mistress. He is Li Luo."

Mu Yao's gaze was affixed on Li Luo with hidden hostility. Back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, he had lost to Li Luo and was unable to complete his mission. His actions had also left him on the wrong side of Lu Qing'er as he had offended her without obtaining any benefits. It caused quite a bit of commotion back in the headquarters of the Golden Dragon Bank, causing inconveniences for his grandfather.

Fortunately, they were able to join another internal faction in Golden Dragon Mountain. This allowed them to retain their power and his grandfather wasn't transferred away. However, it still had a significant impact on their lineage.

"He's quite handsome; it's no wonder my sister misses him so much." The girl with snow-white skin chuckled.

"From our latest intelligence report, Li Luo is already at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier and his Heavenly Resonance Diagram is over 80,000 feet. He has triple resonant palaces and six resonances, namely the waterlight resonance, the woodearth resonance, and a Thunder Dragon resonance. His waterlight resonance has reached the ninth-grade, the woodearth resonance is at the eighth-grade, and his Thunder Dragon resonance is at the seventh-grade. However, he possesses a special ability to temporarily raise his Thunder Dragon resonance to the ninth-grade for a short period of time. My guess is that this is due to the True Dragon Pill from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li," Mu Yao reported quickly.

"It seems like you're also very interested in him," the girl teased playfully.

Mu Yao remained silent. He had truly suffered in the hands of Li Luo back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, so it was only natural for him to harbor shatred. However, Li Luo’s cultivation progress was simply shocking. Mu Yao was stronger when they first met, but he lost in the end due to external aid. Now they were both at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, but the foundation of his Heavenly Resonance Diagram was far weaker than Li Luo's.

In fact, it seemed that Li Luo had defeated an upper first-grade Duke of the Dragon's Blood Guardians with just his Greater Heavenly Resonance strength.

Such a battle achievement was definitely leagues ahead of his peers.

"It must have been Eldest Sister that ordered you to obstruct my sister, is that right?" the girl suddenly asked.

Mu Yao gave her an embarrassed smile. He did not dare to say too much in front of her. The main factions in Golden Dragon Mountain were known as the three families and seven peaks. They formed the core powers of the Golden Dragon Bank. The three families were, respectively, the Lu, Zhang, and Qian families. This appeared cliche, but these families formed the foundation of the Golden Dragon Bank to move around the ten Great Divine Continents without obstruction.

Lu Qing'er and Lu Shuanglu, the girl in front of him now, belonged to the Lu family.

They were the ones who held the bulk of the power in Golden Dragon Mountain at the moment. Their influence was the greatest.

As for Mu Yao's grandfather, he was supported by the family behind this so-called Eldest Sister.

Looking at Mu Yao's awkward smile, Lu Shuanglu did not ask any further. She grinned happily and said, "My sister Qing'er is quite remarkable. When she first arrived, everyone thought that she was just a spoiled girl raised in a barren outer divine continent. However, they all underestimated her. She has established a connection with the Holy Permafrost Seed in less than a year, and her affinity with it is far beyond that of anyone to date. There are even rumors within the lineage that perhaps the Lu family's Holy Permafrost Seed will evolve into a Genesis Seed in her hands."

Mu Yao was startled when he heard this. Wasn't this the sort of secret that could not be shared with outsiders like him? On the other hand, was Lu Qing'er truly at such an advanced stage already?

She was clearly raised in an outer divine continent, so how had she surpassed all the other talents that were raised in Golden Dragon Mountain?

Lu Shuanglu chuckled before she continued, "I heard that this was all part of my Fifth Uncle's plan. He limited her potential with a secret art as soon as she was born, hoping that one day she would fully blossom and reach even greater heights. All these years, he did not try to bring Lu Qing'er to Golden Dragon Mountain. He left her with her mother, allowing her to grow up happily in a remote outer divine continent."

"That's a bit too unbelievable!" Mu Yao exclaimed in shock.

If the affinity that Lu Qing'er had with the Holy Permafrost Seed was because of this secret art, it would be terrifying.

Lu Shuanglu paused for a moment, then she calmly replied, "Who knows? It might even have involved the Ancestor."

Mu Yao's eyes were filled with horror. Naturally, he knew who the Ancestor Lu Shuanglu was referring to was. Who else could it be except for Heavenly Emperor Lu?

"Second Mistress, why are you tellingall this?" Mu Yao asked.

Lu Shuanglu smiled and replied, "I just wanted you to share this knowledge with your grandfather. It's better not to get involved, or you'll be doomed before you know it."

Mu Yao pondered quietly for a few moments. "I understand. Thank you, Second Mistress."

Lu Shuanglu did not speak any further about this matter. She then looked at Li Luo in the distance and asked with interest, "Sister Qing'e seems to be really concerned about that guy.”

“Li Luo already has a fiancee. In fact, it's that girl with the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried," Mu Yao said.

This caught Lu Shuanglu by surprise. She chuckled and said, "That's a really strong opponent, then. It seems like Sister Qing'er may have lost in every aspect. It's no wonder she's always looking so down."

Then she paused for a moment before she said nonchalantly, "That said, I don't think the two of them fit together very well. Zhang Cuicheng is a much more compatible partner for Sister Qing'e."

Zhang Cuicheng was one of the top elites from the Zhang family in Golden Dragon Mountain. He was already a second-grade Duke at a young age and had constructed two nine-pillar Duke Bergfrieds. His battle strength was extraordinary and he had even defeated a third-grade Duke with his second-grade Duke strength. It was said that the Zhang family valued him greatly and was trying to help him forge a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried when he entered the Third Duke Stage!

Zhang Cuicheng was at the World End's River Region at the moment as well, he was just not at the Golden Stone Valley.

"If he knew that Li Luo was here, he'd surely regret not coming," Lu Shuanglu said with a laugh.

Mu Yao's heart wavered. He couldn't help but ask, "Does Master Zhang Cuicheng like Miss Qing'er?"

Lu Shuanglu replied with glee, "Yes, he fell in love with her after meeting her a few times. He even asked his elders to visit our peak for a marriage proposal. Unfortunately, he was rejected by Sister Qing'er directly. He was unwilling to accept it and started investigating why. That's how he found out about Li Luo."

After hearing this, Mu Yao seemed to understand something, so he asked, "In that case, the reason why you and Master Zhang Cuicheng had cto the World End's River Region is to..."

Lu Shuanglu nodded slightly. "He wants to see what Li Luo is capable of. Tsk, the competition between men is incomprehensible sometimes."

"Li Luo is only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier. There is a huge gap between him and Master Zhang Cuicheng. After all, there's a few years of difference in their cultivation journeys," Mu Yao said.

"Who cares?"

Lu Shuanglu shrugged nonchalantly.

As they continued to talk about the secrets of Golden Dragon Mountain, the confrontation between the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao was growing fiercer in the sky.

Enormous amounts of energy filled the area as the heavens and earth trembled.

However, just when the atmosphere couldn't get any more tense, more people suddenly flew across the sky towards the scene of the confrontation. Duke Bergfrieds began to appear one after another, and a helpless and aged voice echoed out in the sky.

"Everyone, the Golden Stone Valley has its own rules. Since you're here, please respect them. Rogue cultivators like us do not dare to fight with the Heavenly Emperor lineages. However, we have a temper as well. If you're going to destroy our ricebowl, we have no choice but to fight back."

As the voice resounded in the sky, a resonant power that was not any weaker than Li Jinpan's and Zhao Jiao's surged up. It directly tore the tense atmosphere apart.
