Chapter 0935: The Top Ranked Green Nether Banner

The clock slowly ticked down as the members of the other three banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage waited eagerly.

The Green Nether Banner had not exited from the Fiendish Devil Cave yet.

Whispers were starting to circulate around the square, and some members shook their heads and lowered their expectations. It seemed like the Green Nether Banner would be halted by layer sixty-three after all.

In the stone pavilion, Li Fuling looked up onto the screen and said, "It's about time for the Fiendish Devil Cave to close."

The Fiendish Devil Cave was only open for a limited time. However, it was a pretty long period, so very few banners would run into the problem of exceeding the time limit.

Unfortunately, this seemed to be the case for the Green Nether Banner today. Their time was running out as they were faced with their most challenging battle yet.

"It's still too much for them. Layer sixty-three is extremely challenging. It took me a long time to conquer it back when I led the Green Nether Banner. Does Banner Leader Li Luo think he can do this in one shot?" a young man in the stone pavilion commented. He was none other than the previous generation's Green Nether Banner Leader, Li Xuan.

At this point, the previous generation’s Gold Light Banner Leader, Lu Ze, smiled and said, "He's the Dragon's Head of this generation. How can you compare yourself to him? With someone as talented and outstanding as him here, who'll even remember the previous Banner Leader of the Green Nether Banner?"

Although he had spoken with a light-hearted smile, they were heavy words to digest. Li Xuan's face turned red with anger.

“The Green Nether Hall's situation is special. Their performance has been lacking for years because they have no Hall Master, unlike the other halls. This has undoubtedly affected them in all aspects. It's not really due to Li Xuan," Li Fuling said slowly at this point as she took a look at the two of them.

After hearing her words, Li Xuan finally calmed down a little.

At the same time, Li Fengyi threw a sharp gaze over to Lu Ze. The guy was really nasty. He was clearly trying to sow discord between Li Xuan and Li Luo here.

However, she could not be bothered with him at the moment. She turned back towards the screen on the stone wall and frowned a little. It was nearly time for the Fiendish Devil Cave to close already.

If Li Luo could not lead the Green Nether Banner to clear layer sixty-three by then, the chance would be gone.

Of course, he could wait for the next cave opening, but that would only be after the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

Li Fengyi knew that Li Luo was eyeing the Pill of Enlightenment, the reward for conquering layer sixty-three. He wanted to use the pill to prepare for the Spiritual Resonance Cave. As such, it would be pointless for him to clear it afterwards.

However, Li Fengyi was not sure if Li Luo could really make it in time or not.

As she stared worriedly at the screen, the clock continued to tick by.

Dozens of minutes passed by like this.

All of a sudden, shouts erupted from the square. Many of the gazes fell onto the rank one row on the screen. At this moment, the words "Gold Blood Banner" gradually turned dim.

This meant that the Gold Blood Banner had retreated from the Fiendish Devil Cave.

However, they had not conquered layer sixty-three. They were unable to defeat the Fiendish Devil Leader before time ran out. They had been forced to retreat.

"The Gold Blood Banner has failed to conquer layer sixty-three!"

There were many stunned faces among the banner members. Although the reputation of the Gold Blood Banner and Li Qingfeng had fallen a little recently, he was still the top guy in the Twenty Banners. No one had belittled his capability. If even he had failed to conquer layer sixty-three, one could only imagine just how challenging this layer truly was.

If Li Qingfeng and the Gold Blood Banner couldn’t pull through, how long could Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner endure?

There was not much time left. Even if they could endure the tough fight, they would still be kicked out of the Fiendish Devil Cave as soon as time ran out. In other words, the end result would be the same as the Gold Blood Banner’s.

As such, all the gazes were back onto the dimly lit screen.

Many of them had already formed their conclusions.

Li Fengyi placed both hands together tightly as her heart pounded heavily in anticipation.

For a moment, everyone had stopped their chatter in the stone pavilion. Even Li Fuling, who had been comparing Li Luo with Li Taixuan, had stopped and was watching in anticipation.

The banner members around the square had also quieted down. The place was dead silent, as if no one existed.

The clock continued to tick slowly.

Just as the screen turned dim and some people let out sighs of disappointment, a sudden burst of light shone out from the front of the Fiendish Devil Cave.

In the next moment, people started emerging.

They were the eight thousand members of the Green Nether Banner.

However, they all sat down in the lotus position as soon as they came out. Their faces were pale, and they closed their eyes to recover their resonant power. Traces of blood could be seen on many of the members, as if they had just been through a really challenging battle.

Finally, the Green Nether Banner had returned.

Everyone was staring at them curiously. Was this because... time had run out for them too?

Just as some of them were pondering about it, thunderous cheers broke out from a corner in the crowd.

"Look at that! The ranking board is changing!"

The cheers spread like a torrent of waves and countless gazes fell back onto the ranking board of the Fiendish Devil Cave. They were surprised to see what was happening. Gradually, the Green Nether Banner that was in first place alongside the Gold Blood Banner disappeared. Following this, it reappeared back above the Gold Blood Banner.

Rank 1: Green Nether Banner!

The Gold Blood Banner had fallen from first place to second place!

Everyone in the square was dumbfounded as they stared at the name in first place.

This meant that... the Green Nether Banner had conquered layer sixty-three?!

They had done something that even the Gold Blood Banner couldn't?

In other words, they were now the indisputable number one banner among the Twenty Banners?

Screams of surprise exploded one after another across the square. They turned towards the pale and exhausted Green Nether Banner and eyed them with envy.

Who would have expected that in just half a year's time, the Green Nether Banner would not only rise from the bottom of the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage, but also become the rank one banner among the Twenty Banners? This was truly the peak of glory for them.

What an amazing evolution!

Everyone watched with admiration. They knew that the Green Nether Banner was well aware of the reason behind their uprise. The only difference was their new Banner Leader, Li Luo.

The Green Nether Banner had evolved under his leadership.

Under numerous gazes, a young figure emerged from the Green Nether Banner's area. It was none other than Li Luo.

His face was also a little pale. During the tough fight with the Fiendish Devil Leader, he had utilized everything he could to finally emerge victorious with his domineering ace, the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation. It was a really close shave.

Had he been even a little slower, he would have failed due to time running out.

Fortunately, he had come out with a stunning victory. They had conquered layer sixty-three. With that, the Green Nether Banner would be at the top in the Fiendish Devil Cave's leaderboard. Of course, the Pill of Enlightenment that he had been looking forward to had been secured as well.

At this moment, Li Luo heaved a sigh of exhaustion. The Green Nether Banner would have to take a few days off to recover after this long and challenging fight. Rising in the leaderboard was pure torture. Slowly, he raised his head up. The crowd separated into two as a line of people rushed forward to him. In the front were Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao, but a stranger was following them.

However, Li Luo could tell who they were from the signature black and red colors on their battlesuit.

Li Luo's face changed a little as soon as he noticed this.

“Why are the Dragon's Fang Guardians here?”
