Chapter 0771: Fifth Division’s First Victory


    An enormous chain of energy slithered through the void like a venomous snake, piercing through the defenses of the Fiendish Devil Leader and prating its chest.


    Despite its struggle, there were more and more chains of energy gradually piling up. The Fiendish Devil Leader was trapped.


    Zhong Ling was delighted upon this sight, and he let out a grin.


    The first division cheered loudly from the back as they chanted Zhong Ling''s name in excitement.


    In the previous confrontation, the Fiendish Devil Leader was suppressed by Zhong Ling despite its strength being at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier. This clearly disyed Zhong Ling''s capability and control over the power of Harmony.


    In a sense, he was the undisputed number one in the Green Nether banner.


    After Zhong Ling had trapped the Fiendish Devil Leader, he quickly closed his hands together and formed several seals. The seal technique was peculiar, like the opening of a dragon''s mouth.


    The banner members were surprised by the hand seal and eximed, "Sub Leader, are you going to use the Little Dragonbreath Art? I heard that this was the result of your study of the Heavenly Dragon Lightning Roar."


    "The Fiendish Devil Leader is finished this time."


    "Haha, the first division will be responsible for clearing yet anotheryer!"


    The banner members cheered on in triumph.


    At this moment, Zhong Ling''s mouth suddenly puffed up and he spat after executing his hand seals. A viscous torrent of energy wrapped in domineering power was spewed out, and it prated through the void.


    It was as if a river from heaven had flowed down from the sky, gushing towards the struggling Fiendish Devil Leader with majestic force.


    The smirk on Zhong Ling''s face grew wider.


    As the torrent of dragonbreath was about to smash into the Fiendish Devil Leader, all of the banner members of the first division were shocked to find that the space around them had begun to twist violently. Ripples began to spread out like a falling pebble that broke the tranquil water’s surface.


    When they came back to their senses, they found that they had been ejected from the state of Harmony. At the same time, they were back outside the ck hall of Fiendish Devil Peak.


    The whole first division, including Zhong Ling, were left dumbfounded.


    Why had it ended so suddenly?


    It seemed like Zhong Ling''s attack was on the cusp of striking the Fiendish Devil Leader.


    "Ah hah! Sub Leader Zhong Ling, it looks like the first division cleared it again. The other divisions will have to be grateful to us."


    In the same instance, the other four divisions of the Green Nether Banner started to appear around the entrance of the ck hall. The Sub Leaders of the second, third, and fourth divisions looked over to Zhong Ling, smiling and sping their hands together to congratte him.


    The members of those three divisions also nodded in admiration.


    "You are indeed the strongest Sub Leader in the Green Nether Banner. The first division has been the first to clear everyyer pastyer twenty."


    "We can just lie back and enjoy the benefits."


    "It is not a bad thing for the Green Nether Banner to be led by Sub Leader Zhong Ling in the future."


    Despite the praises from the crowd, Zhong Ling did not show any signs of a smile or celebration. Instead, he remained confused.


    The banner members of the first division also remained in an awkward silence.


    At this time, the Sub Leaders of the three divisions also realized that something was wrong. Why did the first division look so down despite their ttering victory?


    "Hehe, I think you all may be congratting the wrong person. The twenty-eighthyer was cleared by the fifth division."


    At this moment, a yfulugh echoed from the side.


    Everyone was puzzled as they turned to the side and saw the fifth division.


    The words hade from none other than Zhao Yanzhi.


    "Did Sub Leader Li Luo defeat the Fiendish Devil Leader ofyer twenty-eight first?" the second division''s Sub Leader asked in surprise.


    "It can''t be faked. After all, you can check with the Elders for confirmation," Mu Bi answered with a bigugh.


    The members of the other four divisions all turned towards Li Luo, who had not spoken a single word, in shock. Who would have thought that the first to get throughyer twenty-eight would be the fifth division!


    In the past, the fifth division had the slowest progress amongst them!


    Evidently, such a radical change must have had something to do with their new Sub Leader, Li Luo.


    Feeling the gazes of the others, the members of the fifth division could not help but feel a little proud of themselves. At the same time, newfound recognition and support bloomed for their Sub Leader.


    "Hehe, Sub Leader Li Luo is truly amazing. We will have another hero rising amongst us in the future." The Sub Leaders of the other three divisions praised and smiled at Li Luo, this time with a kind and friendly tone.


    After all, there was not muchpetition between them and Li Luo. They knew that the position of Banner Leader was not meant for them. Now that Li Luo kept exhibiting such amazing feats, it might really be possible for him to surpass Zhong Ling in the future, so they would naturally not be too hostile towards him.


    Li Luo also smiled and returned their congrattions politely.


    When the first division saw how arrogant the fifth division were, some banner members could not help but chime in bitterly. "What are you so proud of? You just passed theyer once by pure luck. We were nearly about to kill the Fiendish Devil Leader already."


    However, the words fell on deaf ears. After all, no one cared about how close the second ce was.


    After Zhong Ling''s face changed for a while, he finally restrained his emotions. With no expression on his face, he could not be bothered to entertain Li Luo. Instead, he waved his hand and said in a slightly gloomy voice, "First division, prepare to enteryer twenty-nine."


    Everyone in the first division looked at each other nkly. They had just experienced a tough battle thatsted for several hours, and now they were going to challengeyer twenty-nine without any rest?


    Based on past experiences, they should take a break at this time. In particr, many of their banner members had been injured and eliminated from the battlefield during the conquest ofyer twenty-eight. If they rested for a while, some of them might be able to recover and rejoin them for the fightter on.


    Some of the banner members tried to persuade Zhong Ling, but no one dared to speak any further when they saw his gloomy expression. With that, the first division, which had juste out of the Fiendish Devil Cave, set off again.


    Watching Zhong Ling and the first division heading back into the Fiendish Devil Cave, the other four divisions were a little stunned. In the end, the second, third, and fourth division Sub Leaders just gave wry smiles.


    "Fifth division, rest in ce," Li Luomanded calmly, giving no regards to Zhong Ling and the first division.


    Zhong Ling''s actions were clearly driven by frustration. Naturally, he would not follow suit.


    Zhao Yanzhi also gave her order at this time. "Banner members who have recovery arts, follow me to heal the injured members who were eliminated earlier."


    Hearing this, some banner members got up and followed Zhao Yanzhi to tend to those who had been seriously injured and eliminated earlier.


    Li Luo sat down in the lotus position, closed his eyes, and his mental state sank into his waterlight resonance pce.


    Strand after strand of abstruse fiend light flew around in it. When Li Luo focused internally, a touch of joy flooded his heart as he could sense a total of one hundred and twelve abstruse fiend lights gained from his earlier victory inyer twenty-eight.


    This was equivalent to over twenty high-grade Fiend Origin Pills!


    And this was equivalent to the monthly stipend a Sub Leader in the Green Nether Banner received.


    Without a doubt, the rewards from the Fiendish Devil Cave were fantastic for someone at the Fiend Pce Tier.


    The most important point was that this was onlyyer twenty-eight. If he advanced furtherter, how great would the harvest be?


    With this, even a calm andposed individual like Li Luo could not help but pine for the juicy spoils ahead.


    At this moment, he finally understood that it was not the monthly stipend that revealed the true foundation among the Twenty Banners of the Heavenly Dragon''s Five Lineages, but theis Seventy-Two Layers of the Fiendish Devil Cave.


    "It took us approximately ten hours to get throughyer twenty-eight... Including our resting time, it would be great if we could clear threeyers in three days. That would give me a reward of approximately five hundred abstruse fiend lights."


    Li Luo was pleasantly surprised. At this pace, he might really be able to cultivate his two resonant pces to the Greater Fiend Pce Tier in three months'' time.


    In fact, he might even exceed that!


    Following this, Li Luo led the team to rest for four more hours while Zhao Yanzhi and her team tended to the recovery of over twenty banner members. They had recovered the majority of their battle strength and were ready to continue fighting in the Fiendish Devil Cave.


    Of course, there were dozens of banner members who were seriously injured and could not join the next battle.


    The fifth division gathered behind Li Luo with high spirits and a powerful presence. This inevitably made the second, third, and fourth divisions, who were about to enter at the same time, look sideways to avert their gazes. Undoubtedly, the confidence of the fifth division had returned after their spectacr performance inyer twenty-eight.


    This was all thanks to the new Sub Leader of the fifth division, Li Luo.


    Amidst the many gazes, Li Luo kept hisposure and his expression barely changed. He simply gave an order and then marched into the Fiendish Devil Cave for his second conquest with the energetic fifth division.
