Chapter 1348: Qin Beiming

When faced with Li Luo's teasing words, Qin Beiming's expression shifted slightly. However, he wasn't the only one—all the other experts from the other powers had the same reaction.

That said, he wasn't angry; a look of joy surfaced in his eyes.

"You're actually able to purify this venomous curse, Li Luo?" Li Zhihuo couldn't help but to blurt with eyes full of disbelief. Beside him, the Dragon's Bone and Dragon's Horn Guardian Generals, Li Jushen and Li Boyuan, were similarly taken aback but also jubilant. Looking at their reactions, Li Luo could easily guess that all of them had already experienced the sudden turning of their compatriots.

Their squad members had undoubtedly been corrupted at some point.

In fact, they must have paid a painful price.

As their gazes fell upon him, Li Luo calmly nodded. "Strictly speaking it requires both Sister Qing'e and I to join hands to do so. Everyone here can testify to that."

The numerous experts present began to speak up to show their agreement. It was clear that there was a hint of respect within their voices as well.

Amongst the group that had rushed over, a male whose body resembled a ball stood out. His gaze seemed to contain a trace of violent thunder, emitting a tyrannical aura.

That person said in a booming voice, "Haha, who would have expected that Brother Li Luo would have such an ability. We were left grievously wounded by the sudden ambush of our corrupted squad members, and if giving up a high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure would allow us to resolve this hidden malaise, I consider that a great deal. Brother Li Luo, I would kindly like to invite you to cleanse the Heaven Devouring Armies!"

Li Luo's gaze turned over, and he recognized the person that had spoken loudly. This was the Thunder Guardian General of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu, Zhu Zhan. He was a lower fifth-grade Duke and was the strongest Guardian General amongst them.

"Zhu Zhan, when did I ever say it wasn't worth it?" Qin Beiming indifferently glared at Zhu Zhan.

He then turned towards Li Luo. "Li Luo, although the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin holds some enmity towards you, this is not the time nor place to fight. If all you require to purify us is a high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure, I am more than willing to part with one. Furthermore, I can assure that this favor will be repaid. I will make it so the Blackwater Armies will not target you on the basis of any personal grudges until we leave the Treasure Domain."

As expected of the strongest Guardian General in the Heavenly Emperor powers. Even the way he carried himself was vastly different than Qin Zhenlin.

When Qin Zhenlin heard this, he swallowed any words he might have wished to say. Qin Beiming's position and influence in the Blackwater Armies was supreme, and he was fearful of him as well.

Qin Yi nodded discreetly. This was the behavior expected from a reasonable and logical leader.

Li Luo couldn't help but feel a little impressed at how decisive Qin Beiming was. It seemed like not everyone from his faction was an ignorant idiot.

The number of lunatics like Qin Lian was even lower.

Li Luo turned his head and glanced at the terrifying undulations coming from the blood-red flower bud in the depths of the Other Dominion, pausing silently. He then made a decision. "The reason I wanted the Foundational Spirit Treasures was to teach Zhao Xiuyuan and Qin Zhenlin a lesson for acting aggressively towards me. However, looking at how dangerous the situation is, I'm afraid a frightening existence may appear if that flower bud is allowed to bloom. Thus, I'll not accept any treasures. All of you can sit down, and I'll purify the insidious curse. Afterwards, we need to use however much time we have left to the fullest and join hands to get rid of it."

His words elicited surprised gazes from the crowd. They had not expected him to give up this opportunity to gather wealth.

All of them had eyes that were completely black and a black substance dripped from the corners of their eyes as they sat like unmoving statues. Blood-red rhizomes were sticking out of the ground and pierced into their bodies, squirming from time to time as if they were sucking out their flesh and blood and using them as nutrients for the flower bud.

The corrupted individuals had no way to resist in this situation, gradually being sucked into dry husks.

Some of the people in the group expressed cries of rage and sadness. The people below were the experts that had been corrupted by the Black Pupil Ghostly Curse.

Some of them were friends, and others companions. Unfortunately, all of them ended up in such a tragic state.

Qin Beiming's gaze was filled with fury as some of those individuals were his companions and brothers.

"Let's take action together and destroy this flower bud!" he roared.

Everyone surged forth with their strongest attacks. The sky filled with all sorts of techniques, making it look like a meteor shower was streaking across the sky, slamming right into the flower bud.

......

Meanwhile, outside the Treasure Domain.

In a particularly dark area.

The Faceless Other King's head was lowered as it was observing a crevice filled with water. Energy flowed through the water, and numerous images could be seen within, including what was happening at the flower bud.

"Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e have brought me quite some trouble," it muttered with a slight smile.

If not for the two purifying the Black Pupil Ghostly Curse, everyone in that dominion would have turned into nutrients for the Heavenly Devil Flower.

However, this wasn't a big problem.

The Origin Reversion Institute had plotted for many years, and it was too late to stop them now.

"It looks like it's time to use those two chess pieces." The Faceless Other King tore open the front of its head and retrieved two white seeds. It flicked its finger, and the two seeds ignited on their own accord. Then two figures could be seen within the flames. After which, the Faceless Other King planned to leave. However, it paused when it turned around.

It had spotted an elderly man in the void not too far away.

"Eh? As expected of a Quasi-Triple Crown King. It seems like your senses are sharper than I had imagined." The Faceless Other King let out a mirthless laugh.

An indifferent expression hung on the elderly man's face as he looked downwards, focusing on the figure in the darkness.

The old man was none other than Li Jingzhe!
