Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Your Connections Are Seriously Incredible!

"You, don't spout nonsense!"

Chen Yu's expression changed drastically. He had not expected this Silver-haired Girl to be so sharp-tongued.

In an instant, she had pinned such an enormous accusation on the Demon Gate he belonged to.

Even if He Yao, the Demon Gate's leader, were here, that accusation would have given him a fright.

After all, Northern Heavens City was Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's territory.

The Demon Gate was merely a student faction within Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, existing under its protection.

And He Yao was only fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, at the Late Transforming Heaven Realm.

Before Dean Ta Cang, who stood in the Supreme Realm, he was nothing...

"This is a matter between you and my Demon Gate!"

As a Late Fusion Heavenly Realm expert, Chen Yu made a prompt decision and launched another attack at Luo Li.

As long as he defeated her, he could manipulate public opinion however he pleased.

The Demon Gate's influence in Northern Heavens City was no small thing!

By then, people would only say that some girl had been taken by the Demon Gate's leader!

"Feather Heaven Slash!"

One white feather after another appeared around Chen Yu.

With a lift of his right hand, the countless white feathers fused together, forming a thirty-meter wing of spiritual energy.

That wing was extraordinarily sharp, as though it possessed the divine might to split heaven and earth!

"Dare provoke my Demon Gate? You're courting death!"

Before his words had faded, the heaven-shaking wing slash tore toward Luo Li.

Quite a few onlookers sucked in cold breaths.

This spiritual art was no trivial matter!

Even among spirit-grade spiritual arts, it ranked in the upper-middle tier.

"It's over, it's over. She provoked the Demon Gate. Such a delicate, beautiful girl is going to suffer."

"Even if she goes all out and blocks that attack, there's no way she can beat this guy!"

"And Chen Yu has an older brother too. He's a ruthless expert in the top twenty of the Heavenly Ranking!"

In the eyes of the onlookers, Luo Li was already in grave danger.

Her chances of safely leaving Northern Heavens City were simply far too slim.

"That's it?"

Luo Li's gaze sharpened as she casually swung the Luo God Sword.

The next moment, an equally thirty-meter-long black sword aura burst forth.

As the two collided, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The wing slash was instantly cut in half, while the fierce sword aura surged onward like a dragon crossing a river.

"How is that possible?!"

Chen Yu was utterly shocked and could not believe it.

In a panic, he hurriedly conjured a spiritual energy barrier, trying to protect himself.

However, something even more terrifying happened.

Despite being so thick, the barrier was sliced apart in an instant like paper.

The slash only stopped when a sword mark appeared across his neck.

At first, he felt no pain. But as blood slowly seeped out, his entire body began to tremble, and cold sweat poured down his face.

So close, just a little closer!

"Provoke me again, and next time I'll wipe out your Demon Gate!"

Without looking back, Luo Li left Northern Heavens City.

The person—no, the grass—she had been waiting for had arrived.

"That's strange. How could she be that strong?"

"Chen Yu is at the Late Fusion Heavenly Realm. To defeat him instantly, she must be a Transforming Heaven Realm expert!"

"She's in the Transforming Heaven Realm!?"

Everyone had their own opinions, but no one could confirm just what level Luo Li's strength had reached.

They only knew that the Demon Gate had kicked an iron plate this time!

The Demon Gate had always acted tyrannically, relying on several Heavenly Ranking experts to back it up and behaving without reason.

Even if someone reported them to Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there was no way to punish them.

Instead, they would suffer retaliation.

Over time, no one in Northern Heavens City dared provoke the Demon Gate. They could only swallow their anger.

Now that someone had stepped forward and crushed the Demon Gate's arrogance, how satisfying was that!

"Once she leaves Northern Heavens City, she must never come back!"

"Chen Yu's cousin is a Transforming Heaven Realm expert in the top twenty of the Heavenly Ranking. His strength is formidable."

"And the Demon Gate has more than one Heavenly Ranking expert. With the strongest among them, fourth-ranked He Yao, this girl won't escape disaster..."

These people were worried about Luo Li, but the person involved was not worried at all.

At this moment, Luo Li's mind had already flown to that blade of grass!

When she saw two flying Heavenly Beasts sweeping in from the distance, she immediately became excited.

One was a Water-Fire Crane with red and blue wings, carrying a huge black egg faintly wreathed in flames.

The other was a pure white Snow Eagle, with an exceptionally peculiar and conspicuous silver Nine-leaf Sword Grass growing from its head.

The Nine-leaf Sword Grass had nine leaves, each one like a sharp sword wrapped in astonishingly fierce sword aura.

Within its silver sheen were traces of green and black.

Clearly, during their brief yet seemingly endless separation, the Nine-leaf Sword Grass had undergone some changes, and its strength should have improved as well.

"Luo Li!"

Zhao Chen called out at once. She looked even more beautiful than before.

It seemed that fusing with the Luo River Spirit had greatly enhanced both her beauty and temperament.

It was truly hard to imagine just how peerlessly stunning and incomparably beautiful Luo Li would become once she grew up and possessed the Luo God Dharma Body.

"Zhao Chen, you really got your hands on the Nine Netherbird?!"

After they briefly caught up, Luo Li's attention was drawn to the enormous black egg carried on the Water-Fire Crane's back.

When she returned to the Luo God Clan, she had specifically looked into the Nine Netherbird Tribe.

It was said that only Nine Netherbirds with relatively pure Primordial Undying Bird Bloodlines would encounter the exceptionally rare Black God Lightning Tribulation.

The difficulty of transforming into a divine beast would naturally rise accordingly.

In other words, the Nine Netherbird Zhao Chen mentioned in the Northern Spiritual Realm of the Hundred Spirit Continent, which had failed its tribulation, must have held no small status within its clan—much like Luo Li, a direct member of the Luo God Clan's royal line.

Capturing her had been truly difficult.

Luo Li had not expected Zhao Chen to actually pull it off!

It seemed that this Nine Netherbird, having failed its tribulation, had undergone Nirvana into an egg and entered a dormant recovery period.

Once she awakened, her condition would more or less be restored, and she could prepare to break out of the egg at any time!

Of course, with the Black God Lightning Tribulation eyeing her greedily, this Nine Netherbird likely would not dare undergo the tribulation again without complete preparations.

"I had a friendly talk with her and decided to help her successfully pass the tribulation."

Zhao Chen told Luo Li about the Northern Sea Dragon Kun Divine Beast Blood Essence.

To obtain the Northern Sea Dragon Kun Divine Beast Blood Essence, he still needed Luo Li's help.

After all, one was grass and the other was a bird...

Neither could become students of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!

"Damn it, Nine-leaf Sword Grass, the connection you mentioned was this human little girl!?"

Black flames surged as an exquisite Little Nine Netherbird opened her huge, doll-like eyes, her face full of question marks.

Honestly, she had assumed that this connection would at least be a Supreme Realm expert.

Otherwise, how were they supposed to obtain the Northern Sea Dragon Kun Divine Beast Blood Essence from a divine beast at the Peak Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm?

"Stay calm."

Zhao Chen gave Little Nine Netherbird a composed look. She should not underestimate his connections.

As long as Luo Li worked hard to earn Spiritual Value, they could obtain the Northern Sea Dragon Kun Divine Beast Blood Essence.

Spiritual Value was the common currency within Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Whether it was using cultivation facilities such as the Spirit Gathering Array, or exchanging for treasures like essence souls, spiritual arts, and spiritual artifacts, Spiritual Value was required.

With enough Spiritual Value, one could exchange for whatever treasures one wanted within Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Though that was somewhat exaggerated, it showed that Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy possessed vast enough resources to meet the needs of most people.

"Divine beast blood essence?"

Luo Li blinked and extended her right hand.

With a slight curl of her fingers and a gentle flip of her hand, a droplet of blood resembling a blue crystal appeared before Zhao Chen and Little Nine Netherbird.

Within that blue crystal-like blood, a river resembling a True Dragon stretched and wound endlessly.

"This, this is the Luo River Divine Dragon's essence blood!?"

Little Nine Netherbird's eyes went wide. She immediately flapped her wings excitedly and flew about as she cried out:

"My heavens, this is a divine beast with True Dragon essence blood flowing through it!"

Nine-leaf Sword Grass, your connections are seriously incredible!
