Mu Chen helplessly looked at Luo Li, whose rosy lips were slightly raised at an angle. There was a slight hint of danger in her expression. At the same time, he could not help wanting to laugh, as it was truly rare to hear even the slightest bit of sourness in her tone.
"Why aren't you telling me?!"
Luo Li understood Mu Chen too well. The moment she saw the smile in his eyes, she immediately understood what he was thinking. Instantly, her lovable face turned slightly red, and she pretended to be angry as she glared at him.
Mu Chen wrapped his arm around the young girl's slender waist, tightly hugging her. After pondering for a brief moment, he did not plan to hide the existence of the Jiu You Sparrow from Luo Li. Therefore, he gave a brief explanation of the matter regarding the Jiu You Sparrow.
"Jiu You Sparrow?"
Upon hearing that, Luo Li was slightly startled, especially when she heard that the Jiu You Sparrow had actually passed through the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation, causing the astonishment on her lovable face to become even more intense.
After all, she was from the Luo God Clan, and naturally knew a little about the powerful Spiritual Beast Clans. Furthermore, the Jiu You Sparrow Clan was rather tyrannical within the Spiritual Beast Clans. Therefore, she never expected that there would be one hidden within Mu Chen's body.
"You actually dared to receive the Divine Black Lightning!" However, in the next moment, her eyes widened, as palpitation filled her heart.
The Divine Black Lightning Tribulation was something that even Sovereign experts did not dare to face head-on. With Mu Chen's strength, the slightest mistake would turn him into ashes.
"I've formed a Bloodlink Bond with the Jiu You Sparrow. If she dies, I will also suffer a backlash."
With a helpless smile, Mu Chen continued, "Therefore, regardless of how you look at it, I can't just watch as she gets destroyed by the Lightning Tribulation before my eyes."
"Bloodlink Bond!"
Luo Li could not help but open her lovable mouth, before viciously biting down on Mu Chen's chest. "You're pissing me off."
She clearly had some understanding of the Bloodline Chain.
If that's the case, Mu Chen's life and the Nine Netherbird's life would be closely linked, no matter whose life was threatened.
The other party would suffer the backlash of the bloodline bond.
Mu Chen scratched his head. He didn't know what to say. The matter of the Bloodline Bond was something he couldn't do anything about back then. However, he also knew that the girl in his arms was just jealous, so he didn't argue and just hugged her tightly.
"But that's fine too.
She has passed the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation. As long as she wakes up, she will be an existence comparable to a Sovereign. In the future, you will be much safer.
That way, I can be at ease. "
Luo Li was ultimately not someone who would pester endlessly. After releasing a little of his jealousy, he recovered and softly said.
Mu Chen looked at the girl with deep eyes and recalled that she would leave him and return to the Luo God Clan to bear the heavy responsibility and burden.
Doing her best to bear everything.
Becoming the new Empress of the Luo God Clan, Mu Chen felt a slight pain in his heart. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against the girl's smooth forehead. "But I can't be at ease with you."
"Even you were once defeated by me. How can you not be at ease with me?" Luo Li lightly smiled.
However, Mu Chen did not have the mood to joke with her. His black pupils seriously stared at her. Luo Li's beautiful eyes shifted away as she softly said, "What's the matter?"
"Luo Li."
Mu Chen's tone was solemn and serious.
He slowly said, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must wait for me to find you.
Perhaps it will be tough for you in the Luo God Clan. But believe me, for you, I will work even harder to become stronger, until the day I can fulfil my promise to you. "
Luo Li looked at Mu Chen's serious eyes as her eyes turned red. She knew how much effort Mu Chen had to put in to fulfil his promise. He had to go through a lot of tempering. The path to becoming a supreme expert was filled with thorns that could cause people to be covered in wounds and even lose their clean smiles.
Those hardships and tempering might have polished the youth's immature face, but it would also make her heart ache.
"Okay, I promise you."
Luo Li's voice was so soft that it seemed as if it was about to melt. Her glass-like pupils rippled with watery emotions.
Mu Chen looked at the charming appearance of the girl in his embrace as his eyes turned slightly hot. His arm that was hugging the girl grew stronger, as if he wanted to knead her into his body.
He slightly lowered his head.
"Don't."
As if she had sensed something, the girl let out a voice that was as soft as a mosquito. However, it was still ignored by the youth in the end. In an unbridled and domineering manner, he kissed her soft rosy lips.
The girl slightly struggled, but in the end, she relaxed her body and melted into Mu Chen's embrace like a puddle of water.
In the next three days, Hokuang Reiwon was clearly becoming more and more fiery at an astonishing speed. The atmosphere in the entire Hokuang Reiwon seemed to be gradually igniting.
The source of this fiery atmosphere was naturally the Hunting War.
This was the grandest event in Hokuang Reiwon every year. Every year, there would be countless dark horses that would soar into the sky, bursting out their achievements in that year.
Every time the Hunting War ended, the Heavenly Rankings would undergo the most intense changes of the year.
So, extremely intense battles would surely erupt in the Hunting War, and it would be a battle between the dark horses and the current outstanding students. As for who would be able to replace the other, that would depend on whose hidden trump card was stronger.
Therefore, in these three days, the atmosphere in Hokuang Reiwon was fiery, especially outside the Spirit Convergence Array and the Lightning Territory. From time to time, there would be figures with blank gazes, but their bodies were filled with fighting intent as they walked out.
Without exception, all of these people possessed powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations. They had ended their long and bitter training and had started to return to Hokuang Reiwon. They wanted to explode with astonishing strength in this Hunting War, to seize back the glory that they had lost, or perhaps, would obtain.
Because of this, the entire Hokuang Reiwon became lively. Countless people were inquiring about it, trying to find out how many trump cards and abilities those dark horses possessed.
Under this kind of lively atmosphere, countless students were filled with anticipation, waiting for the grand Hunting War that was about to begin.
When the third day arrived, the entire Hokuang Reiwon seemed to be enveloped in a boiling atmosphere. In the sky, whooshing sounds constantly resounded, covering the sky and covering the earth, it was truly a spectacular scene.
In the freshmen area, Mu Chen and Luo Li had already arrived at the plaza beside the lake. There, Ye Qingling, Zhou Ling and the other members of the Goddess Luo Association were excitedly surrounding them. Amongst the freshmen, probably only Mu Chen and Luo Li had the qualifications to participate in the Hunting War.
"Big Brother Mu, do your best!
As long as you have an outstanding performance in the Hunting War, you will truly be able to become an influential figure in Hokuang Reiwon! "A member of the Goddess Luo Association exclaimed in excitement.
Although Mu Chen had some fame in Hokuang Reiwon, he clearly didn't have the qualifications to be an influential figure. Only those like Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan, He Yao and the other powerful figures in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking could obtain such a title.
Mu Chen smiled. He wasn't too interested in the title of an influential figure, but he was extremely interested in the Spiritual Empowerment of the Hunting War.
"Let's go, let's get moving." Luo Li said with a faint smile.
"Okay."
Mu Chen smiled as his figure flashed out. Luo Li followed closely behind him. Behind him, Ye Qingling, Zhou Ling and the rest also hurriedly followed. Although they weren't participating in the Hunting War, they definitely had to participate in the biggest event of the year in Hokuang Reiwon.
When Mu Chen and the rest moved out, He Yao led a large group of Demon's Gate members and walked out from the newly rebuilt headquarters of the Demon's Gate. His gaze was dark as he looked towards the direction of the freshmen's area and coldly smiled.
Mu Chen, I hope that you won't be unlucky enough to meet me in the Hunting War. Otherwise, I will let you understand that compared to the truly influential figures of Hokuang Reiwon, a freshman like you is still too far away.
On the small island at the center of the lake, Su Xuan and Su Ling 'er also walked out. Looking at the unceasing sounds of rushing wind in the sky, they couldn't help smiling. It's the most lively time of the year in Hokuang Reiwon.
"Let's go."
Su Xuan gently smiled as she took a step forward. When she took a step forward, the Spiritual Energy ripples around her rippled like water. However, after a few steps, the Spiritual Energy ripples were completely retracted.
"Big Sister, you have to do your best this time. Let's see if you can defeat Li Xuantong and snatch his second place on the Heavenly Ranking!" Su Ling 'er chuckled.
"How can it be that easy? It's already not bad if we can maintain third place."
Su Xuan helplessly shook her head as she pulled Su Ling 'er. The two of them flew towards the horizon and headed towards the most central location of Hokuang Reiwon.
On the summit of a lone peak, a slender figure slowly walked out. On the summit, there were quite a few people quietly waiting. When they saw the slender figure, their gazes instantly lit up.
"Boss!"
Li Xuantong faintly smiled at them as he waved his hand. "It's about time."
"Yes!" When those people heard his words, they instantly responded and closely followed behind him.
Li Xuantong came to the edge of the peak as he looked towards the direction of Hokuang Reiwon. In his calm eyes, traces of anticipation and fighting intent flashed past.
Shen Cangsheng, you should be back. This year, I will definitely surpass you. Don't let me down.
"Let's go!"
Li Xuantong lightly barked as his figure turned into a rainbow light as he shot out. Behind him, many figures immediately followed.
At this moment, the entire Hokuang Reiwon was in an uproar. Countless figures streaked across the horizon as they headed towards the most central location of Hokuang Reiwon. After bitterly training for so long, after enduring for so long, the day where they could truly erupt had finally arrived.
The eyes of those students with tyrannical strength were filled with fighting intent.
The Hunting War had begun!
