Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1569: Li Luos Dishonest Practices

Lineage Chief Li Qingying spent days deducing the formation. In the meantime, the frontlines surrounding Godriver City fell into a rare silence. This was the calm before the storm. The soldiers of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li continued to gather in the fortresses that stood behind the lines of battle. Countless experts were deployed from every lineage and massive amounts of resources and supplies were being distributed, all for the sake of the second attack.

The atmosphere was tense, akin to the heavy pressure in the air before a torrential rainstorm.

Amidst the depressed atmosphere, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin sounded a clarion cry for their own offensive.

In the short span of two days, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation attained impressive results with the support of the Pinnacle Dukes from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. The Other Tide was forced back by their offensive and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin swiftly occupied the liberated territories that contained large amounts of resources.

All of the powers within the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent were closely watching the developments here.

The battle against the Other Tide was also a great way to showcase the might of the two Heavenly Emperor powers to the world. News of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's successful results were also received by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, causing great shock.

When it came to the battle over territories, the largest piece of the pie was the lands devoured by the Other Tide.

These areas were once occupied by numerous neutral powers, filled with countless precious cultivation resources. The two Heavenly Emperor powers had always coveted these resources as well, but due to the complexity of the situation on the ground and the numerous checks and balances that existed amongst the powers there, no one was able to take over.

But now that the neutral forces had all been annihilated by the Other Disaster, the fertile lands had become ripe for the picking... Though only once the Others were dealt with. The first to occupy the lands would then be able to reap the benefits.

There was a lot to gain even by the standards of a Heavenly Emperor power.

Thus, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin's large-scale conquest left the experts of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li feeling jittery. They didn't want their years of bitter fighting, endless wounds, and countless deaths to be for nothing.

This would be a severe blow to the strength and reputation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Most importantly, they didn't know how the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would deal with the Other Tide that had erupted in the area around Godriver City. If the Other Tide wasn't resolved, then how could they even compete against the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin for the resources?

This caused the morale of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and everyone under its wing to fall further.

......

In the back mountains, in a decrepit and quiet manor, Li Luo was currently flipping through a scroll that contained information on the attack currently being carried out by the Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperor Qin and Zhao.

Li Luo was most focused on the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao's dispatched Pinnacle Dukes. Behind him, he heard several light but familiar footsteps as a faint fragrance wafted out, stirring his heart. When he turned his head, he saw a slender girl standing behind him. Jiang Qing'e was here, fresh out of the bath. She was garbed in the pajamas that had been with her for numerous years, embroidered with a large, white goose. The loose pajamas were unable to hide her exquisite figure. She gave off a rarely-seen, indolent air as she stood there in her white goose pajamas with her slightly damp, long hair cascaded down her back, fluttering around her waist. The light of a nearby lamp made her delicate face look even more beautiful.

The two of them hadn't left the depths of the back mountains as they had been assisting Lineage Chief Qingying with the creation of the Evil Cleansing Formation. Now that they had a rare period of free time, they were resting at the manor.

Jiang Qing'e arched her body until her long hair playfully dangled between Li Luo's eyes and nose. At the same time, she reached out to grab the scroll filled with information and then sat beside him with her legs slightly crossed before going through it.

"The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao dispatched seven ninth-grade Pinnacle Dukes, four of which are lower ninth-grade and three are upper ninth-grade. They've truly invested a lot in this, sending out more than half of their ninth-grades." Li Luo took hold of her fragrant hair and gently stroked it with his fingertips, smiling.

"That means that the alliance has mobilized fifteen ninth-grade Pinnacle Dukes. They've gone all-out with this expedition force," Jiang Qing'e calmly said.

Ninth-grade Pinnacle Dukes were considered foundational pillars in every Heavenly Emperor power. So long as a King did not take to the stage, they would be the strongest combatants. Thus, the number of Pinnacle Dukes also represented the depth and foundation of a Heavenly Emperor power.

After all, even with an abundance of talented descendents, only a select few would manage to reach the Ninth Duke Stage.

Meanwhile, Kings required multiple generations worth of nurturing.

Li Luo expressed his thoughts. "I feel like their attack has been a little too smooth. This Other Disaster was caused by the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus Grand Devil King, a Heavenly Emperor existence, so how are the Others being suppressed so easily?"

Jiang Qing'e replied, "Perhaps it's because the bulk of the Others are focused on our side, resulting in them having an easier time."

"Perhaps." Li Luo lazily stretched his waist. "Lineage Chief Tianji and Mother have announced that the attack will take place in two days. Thinking about it, Lineage Chief Qingying's analysis of the formation should be completed soon."

He couldn't wait anymore as the sooner this was resolved, the quicker he could take some of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's soldiers to support the Xia Kingdom.

Jiang Qing'e nodded.

Although she and Li Luo had been secluded in the mountains to assist Li Qingying with the formation, she could distinctly sense the unrest that was brewing within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. If they did not begin the counterattack soon, the experts might very well end up going to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin to obtain the resources they required.

Li Luo turned his head to see Jiang Qing'e closely scrutinizing the information. Her face was like a sculpture made out of jade, every line and angle absolutely perfect. He couldn't help but quietly stretch his arms out and wrap them around her. When his hands came into contact with her pajamas, he gave her a tight hug for two moments before they slid down to her slender and flexible waist.

The sudden ambush left Jiang Qing'e dazed, but then she glared at him. "Don't mess around."

However, her enchanting looks left Li Luo's gaze burning with even greater desire. "Sister Qing'e, the attack is about to begin and we will definitely be involved in a huge battle. I would like your help." His hands moved around her waist, but his expression remained solemn.

"What sort of help?" His exploring hands made Jiang Qing'e a little uncomfortable, but she remained focused on the information she was reading.

"I've been constantly cultivating the upper Destiny-grade Duke Art provided by Principal Wang Xuanjin. It was indeed something cultivated by the Legendary Sect Master and is quite difficult to comprehend. As a result, I've been unable to master it." Li Luo sighed.

Jiang Qing'e had not expected that he would bring up something important. "Well, you've only spent a short time studying it. If you continue to practice diligently, you should be able to cultivate it. After all, your talent in resonance arts is greater than mine."

"The battle is about to start and I lack time," Li Luo responded.

"Then what are you thinking?" Jiang Qing'e then glanced at him. She could sense that this unscrupulous fellow was hiding some ulterior motive.

Li Luo sighed once more. "Sister Qing'e, I would like to borrow the Genesis Heart's state of Divine Knowledge to help. It'd so effective at understanding Duke Arts that even the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance was easily cultivated with it. In that case, learning an upper Destiny-grade Duke Art wouldn't be difficult."

Jiang Qing'e paused before saying, "The Genesis Heart's state of Divine Knowledge? I suppose we can give it a try. Hold my hand, then."

At this point, Li Luo didn't react. He then whispered into Jiang Qing'e's ear, "Sister Qing'e, didn't you say it before? Sharing the state of awareness requires us to be of one mind and one body to maximize its effects."

When he said those words, his tone was serious. At this point, Jiang Qing'e understood this fellow's intentions. Her fair and beautiful cheeks bloomed with redness, and she could feel Li Luo's wandering hands on her waist, feeling as hot as a forging iron. She couldn't help but exclaim in anger and a hint of embarrassment, "Vile!"

This dirty fellow had actually come up with such a heinous method to utilize the state of Divine Knowledge... She was utterly convinced of his crooked intentions. She turned around in an attempt to leave, but Li Luo would not let go of her. He pounced on her like a tiger and pushed her down, waving his sleeves and creating layers of gauze curtains to surround them.

"Sister Qing'e, I truly want to cultivate this Duke Art. I'd like to ask for your help," he righteously voiced out.

"Li Luo... you... Fine, but only because..."

The mountainous breeze coursed past the manor and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The electrifying surge of youth bloomed with love...

Two days later, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's attack on the Other Tide was launched. As expected, the battle turned into a brutal stalemate not long after.

On the third day, deep within the back mountains, a dazzling stream of light rose like the sun.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e heaved sighs of relief and Li Qingying's expression was filled with joy. The Evil Cleansing Formation had finally been created. It was named: the Divine Crystalline Radiance Demon Purifying Formation.
