Chapter 27: A Major Stir (2/2)

BOOM!

Nie Tian’s stone house finally exploded into fragments, and at the same time, those spatial rifts twisted and became more and more unstable.

“Everyone back off!”

Li Fan was overwhelmed by the scene. With a loud shout, he warned the members of the Nie clan to immediately leave the vicinity of the site.

“Stay away! Everyone keep their distance!”

Nie Beichuan, who had just rushed to the site, also lost his composure and loudly warned the crowd.

Feeling the danger, the members of the Nie clan all vacated the vicinity upon Li Fan and Nie Beichuan’s orders.

When they were about a hundred meters away, they felt somewhat safe, and thus turned around to refocus on the spatial disorder.

Several observant members of the Nie clan shouted out, their voices full of excitement and disbelief.

“Nie Tian!”

“It’s Nie Tian!”

“Nie Tian is in the rubble!”

By that point, Nie Donghai and Nie Qian had also noticed that a figure of a child was rising to their feet within the pile of rubble.

Shockingly, that figure was Nie Tian!

Nie Tian stood up straight up in the debris of the house, his face full of bewilderment. It seemed he was still confused and disoriented, unsure of what was happening.

He raised his head, looking up at the twisting, wiggling spatial rifts above his head, then he subconsciously crouched down, fearing that he come into contact with those spatial rifts.

“Nobody move!” Li Fan warned in a loud voice as he stared at Nie Tian with burning eyes. “Nie Tian! You too. Stay where you are and don’t move!”

“Okay,” Nie Tian said with the nod of a head.

Li Fan took a deep breath before he took out a jade plaque and spoke excitedly into it, “Master! A spatial disruption zone has formed in the Nie clan!”

A dignified and awe-inspiring voice came from within the jade plaque. “Stay put! Don’t do anything and I’ll be there soon!”

Upon hearing the voice, everyone including Nie Donghai and Nie Beichuan was shocked.

They could distinctly tell the speaker was the master of the Cloudsoaring sect, Jiang Zhisu.

The Nie clan was merely one of the mortal clans that served the Cloudsoaring sect, and thus Jiang Zhisu had never visited.

Even as clanmasters, neither Nie Donghai nor Nie Beichuan had ever had the privilege to see Jiang Zhisu in person on the occasions during which they had visited the Cloudsoaring sect.

This time, Jiang Zhisu was actually going to come to the Nie clan personally. This news shocked every member of the clan.

“Everyone leave, except the clanmaster!” After pondering for a moment, Li Fan pointed to Nie Donghai. “You stay too. Everyone else leave! And keep your mouth shut about this! Don’t you let out a word about the spatial disruption zone appearing in the Nie clan!”

“What are you waiting for?!” Nie Beichuan yelled. “Didn’t you hear Mr. Li? Leave! Now!”

Upon his order, the crowd of Nie clan members who had gathered around the place left the scene, even though they still had many questions and doubts in their hearts.

Even Nie Qian, who had been worrying so much about Nie Tian, dragged her feet and left reluctantly upon Nie Donghai’s urging.

After the crowd had all left, Li Fan spoke, his expression very serious. “This is a matter of great importance. My master is going to arrive soon. We’ll wait for him here.”

“I understand.” Nie Donghai and Nie Beichuan didn’t know what to do, but nodded their heads to indicate they understood.

However, just as they were waiting and preparing themselves to greet Jiang Zhisu, the mysterious spatial rifts that had appeared out of nowhere, gradually began to close up for no apparent reason.

“This is…” Nie Beichuan was shocked to his core.

In a very short period of time, all the spatial rifts had disappeared into thin air.

In addition, the distorted magnetic field slowly returned to normal, and the odd scenery in the sky also disappeared without leaving a trace.

“How could this be possible?” Li Fan was at a loss of words.

But seeing the spatial rifts vanish, Nie Donghai put on a joyful look.

Because he knew that meant Nie Tian were safe.

Cringing in the pile of rubble, Nie Tian couldn’t stop thinking about how all the anomalies had been caused by the animal bone in his hand. “Spatial disruption zone, ripped-open space…”

He bowed his head low and wondered how he was going to explain all this, while his eyes glittered with a strange light. “The secrets of the animal bone must not be known! The mysteries of that mystical land must be gradually dug up by me and me alone!”

Soon, he made up his mind and came up with an explanation in his head.
