Using the same method, Luo Li gained another Supreme Realm servant in the blink of an eye.
Although Zhao Chen had killed four Supremes,
the remaining Black Dragon Supreme and Yellow Dragon Sovereign were Dragon Demon Palace's true upper echelon.
Now that both Supremes had become Luo Li's servants, it was equivalent to Dragon Demon Palace being absorbed by Luo God City.
With Dragon Demon Palace's foundation, it would be much easier for Luo God City to become the overlord of the Northern Heavens Continent.
If not for Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Dragon Demon Palace could have transformed back into its former position as overlord at any time.
This was absolute strength, along with the accumulated foundation of many years.
"Immediately pass down the order: all branches are to cease any actions against Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."
Luo Li knew very well that Dragon Demon Palace itself had been targeting Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Even though Black Dragon Supreme's order to begin the war had yet to be sent out,
it still posed a threat to Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Now that she had incorporated Dragon Demon Palace, she naturally had to keep it under strict control.
"Any who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
The icy command made both Black Dragon Supreme and Yellow Dragon Sovereign shudder inwardly.
Dragon Demon Palace and Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had once been mortal enemies.
More or less, both sides had blood on their hands.
They had originally thought that Luo Li, their master, would conduct a ruthless purge.
Yet she did not!
From Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's perspective, they would certainly wish to eradicate Dragon Demon Palace completely.
First, to avenge the elders and students who had sacrificed their lives.
Second, to pull up the roots and eliminate future trouble.
Given Luo Li's identity as a Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy student, it was only natural that she would use this opportunity to settle accounts.
Those bloodstained executioners should have paid the price they deserved.
However, such a purge would certainly have greatly affected Dragon Demon Palace's overall strength.
If it wished to contend for dominance over the Northern Heavens Continent again, it would inevitably need years to recover.
Experts could not be produced in the span of a breath.
"Don't celebrate too soon."
Luo Li glanced at Black Dragon Supreme and Yellow Dragon Sovereign before saying coldly,
"Anyone listed on Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's Bounty Ranking will be killed without mercy!"
She could show mercy and spare the vast majority of people.
But those vicious criminals on the Bounty Ranking, who delighted in slaughtering Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy students, absolutely could not be spared!
Whether they belonged to Dragon Demon Palace or some other demonic faction, they all had to die!
This way, she could also give Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy a simple explanation.
"Yes, Master!"
This put Black Dragon Supreme and Yellow Dragon Sovereign much more at ease. This was what they should do to wash themselves clean and come ashore.
Afterward, they handed all authority over Dragon Demon Palace's headquarters to Luo Li.
From this day onward, there was no longer a Dragon Demon Palace on the Northern Heavens Continent.
In its place stood a mysterious force known as Luo God City!
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Dean Ta Cang, who had been actively mobilizing every side in preparation for formally going to war against Dragon Demon Palace, suddenly received a message.
He froze where he stood and remained silent for a long time.
Elder Moyou of the Punishment Hall, Elder Zhu Tian, the other five Heavenly Seat Elders, and several Earthly Seat Elders were all in the hall with him. Seeing this, they exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of what had happened.
What matter could make Dean Ta Cang reveal such a grave expression?
Could it be that Luo Li, the new number one on the Heavenly Ranking who had successively killed Demon Dragon Son and Mo Xingtian, had met with an accident?
But she had the divine beast Nine Netherworld Dark Bird, who had successfully passed her tribulation, guarding her path. She could come and go freely throughout the Northern Heavens Continent.
Even Black Dragon Supreme could not possibly keep her there. Her life was not in danger.
"Dean, say something."
"Your silence is terrifying."
They were currently in a state of war readiness.
If he delayed like this, they would miss their chance.
Once Dragon Demon Palace reacted, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would have to pay an even greater price.
Dean Ta Cang gave a bitter smile and waved his hand.
"Cancel the war readiness. We don't need to go to war anymore."
Elder Zhu Tian and the others were utterly confused.
What did he mean, they did not need to go to war?
Could it be that the Luo God Clan behind Luo Li had stepped in and made Dragon Demon Palace abandon its plans for war!?
Other than that, there seemed to be no other possibility.
After all, this was the only variable!
"Dragon Demon Palace has been destroyed."
It was a simple sentence, yet Dean Ta Cang found it difficult to say.
Dragon Demon Palace had roamed the Northern Heavens Continent for over a thousand years and had even successfully dominated it. They had known its strength centuries ago.
Others said Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had won, but they did not know how hard that victory had been or how terrible a price they had paid!
In the centuries since the war ended, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and Dragon Demon Palace had continued fighting openly and secretly.
Who could have imagined that Dragon Demon Palace would suddenly be destroyed!
"Dean, are you sure Dragon Demon Palace has been destroyed!?"
The five Heavenly Seat Elders were all shocked and could not believe the news was real.
Even the Northern Sea Dragon Kun of the Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm could do nothing to the Ancient Spiritual Array at Dragon Demon Palace's headquarters.
Since when had someone on the Northern Heavens Continent been capable of destroying Dragon Demon Palace?
Even the Luo God Clan was far from here.
Destroying Dragon Demon Palace in such a short time should have been difficult for them as well.
Dragon Demon Palace's destruction meant the elimination of its living forces.
Even its high-ranking Supreme Realm experts had fallen, leaving them unable to stir up trouble again.
"That's right."
Dean Ta Cang gradually came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said,
"I truly never expected that Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's great enemy of so many years would be dealt with by a little girl who had only entered the academy two months ago."
"And she did it alone, without relying on the Luo God Clan."
The moment those words were spoken, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy higher-ups in the hall were all dumbfounded.
What did he mean, she had destroyed Dragon Demon Palace alone without relying on the Luo God Clan?
They were not children. They did not need to hear such absurd fairy tales!
"I'm not entirely clear on the details."
Dean Ta Cang rubbed his brow, his expression relaxing.
Dragon Demon Palace had always been a thorn in Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's side.
If the academy wanted to develop and grow, it had no choice but to take Dragon Demon Palace into account.
Students had to leave the academy to temper themselves.
On the Northern Heavens Continent, Dragon Demon Palace hunted them down during such training, gravely threatening their safety.
Now, he could finally rest easy!
"But one thing is certain: Dragon Demon Palace has indeed been destroyed."
Dean Ta Cang paused, then continued, "Luo Li has established Luo God City upon Dragon Demon Palace's foundation."
"In other words, she will contend for dominance over the Northern Heavens Continent in Luo God City's name!"
There were only two colossal powers on the Northern Heavens Continent.
One was Dragon Demon Palace, and the other was Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
With Dragon Demon Palace absorbed by Luo God City, contending for dominance over the continent would not be a problem.
But if Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy opposed it, the other factions would also step forward in opposition.
In that case, Luo God City's goal of becoming the overlord would be difficult to achieve.
That would undoubtedly place Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in opposition to Luo God City.
If things escalated too badly, would that not create a second Dragon Demon Palace?
"The murderers who killed so many of our students have received no punishment and remain safe and sound."
Elder Moyou of the Punishment Hall said with a cold face, "How can the dead rest in peace?"
Everyone present clenched their fists.
Dragon Demon Palace had been destroyed, but most of its people were still alive.
Could they simply change identities, become members of Luo God City, and live free and easy lives?
Was that fair to those who had died innocent deaths?
Elder Zhu Tian wanted to speak but hesitated. This was indeed difficult to judge.
However, Dean Ta Cang swept his hand through the air and said in a deep voice,
"The heads of every criminal on the Bounty Ranking have already been piled into a mound before the Task Hall, on Bluestone Square!"
"Dragon Demon Palace has lost four Supremes and has now been destroyed. There is no need to speak of the past any longer!"
Their enemy was Dragon Demon Palace, not Luo Li's Luo God City!
The struggle for dominance over the Northern Heavens Continent was unavoidable.
Rather than allow another Dragon Demon Palace to emerge, it was better to maintain friendly relations with Luo God City.
Though the tree wished for peace, the wind would not cease. This time, they would absolutely not stand by and do nothing!
"Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy must support Luo God City!"
