Chapter 71: Seizing the Opportunity to Cultivate (1/2)

Every trial taker from the Mystic Mist sect was silenced, and not a single voice could be heard.

None of them questioned the truthfulness of Nie Tian’s words.

If Nie Tian hadn’t captured Jian Xuan in such violent fashion, perhaps they would have thought that he was making it up to frighten them, in order to avoid being captured.

However, Zheng Bin had already made clear his intentions with Nie Tian, that they would temporarily ignore him and start the battle when the others from the Spiritual Treasure sect arrived.

That meant Nie Tian was momentarily safe.

In such a situation, it was absolutely unnecessary for Nie Tian to lie to them or attempt to frighten them.

Upon hearing the news that the Ghost sect and Blood sect were also in the Green Illusion dimension, those teenagers clearly grew distressed and helpless.

“The Ghost sect, the Blood sect…”

The Ghost sect and the Blood sect were like two immense mountains that were placed on their chests, making it almost impossible for them to breathe, especially when they learned that everyone from the Grayvale sect had been killed.

They knew that Yuan Feng from the Grayvale sect was extremely hard to deal with, and the Grayvale sect’s trial takers were by no means weaker than them.

Even they had been wiped out. If it weren’t for the fact that they were lucky enough to have not encountered any Ghost sect and Blood sect disciples in the volcano area, it would be hard to say how many of them could have survived to this day…

They didn’t even have the courage to think further.

A long moment passed, after which Zheng Bin was the first to snap back to reality. He took a deep breath and ordered, “Go get him some spirit beast meat.”

Li Xi was compliant this time. He walked back to their camp wordlessly and picked up a sizable piece of cooked spirit beast meat, before walking back to Nie Tian with a complicated expression and handing him the meat.

Nie Tian nodded, but didn’t say anything. He took it and started tearing it apart with his teeth and gulping down large chunks.

The trial takers from the Mystic Mist sect looked silently at him as he ate, and the atmosphere grew exceptionally grim.

They automatically gathered together by Nie Tian’s side, waiting quietly.

The pretty girl who had been the first to spot Nie Tian, looked at his unclothed upper body, and after a moment of hesitation, took a white garment from a bag beside the Ghostly Fire Wolf’s head and threw it gently to Nie Tian.

Moments later, Nie Tian had devoured the five kilograms worth of spirit beast meat. The only reason he didn’t ask for more was that he didn’t want to scare the trial takers from the Mystic Mist sect.

He picked the white garment up and put it on. Only then did he say, “What do you guys want to know?”

“Everything you’ve been through!” Zheng Bin said in a deep voice.

“Okay.” Nie Tian nodded, and without holding anything back, relayed the few, small-scale battles that he had fought against the disciples from the Ghost sect and Blood sect, not leaving a single detail.

As for Yuan Feng and Yun Song’s deaths, he naturally blamed them on the Blood sect’s Yu Tong.

He believed that even if Yu Tong showed up and pointed out that it was him who had killed Yuan Feng and Yun Song, given Yu Tong’s status as a Blood sect disciple, it would be impossible for the trial takers to believe her.

Actually, he even doubted that Yu Tong would bother to refute the assertation.

If the fact that he had killed Yuan Feng and Yun Song was exposed, Nie Tian would inevitably have to bear the wrath of the four sects.

However, to Yu Tong, it was her very mission to kill Yuan Feng and other trial takers. It was unforgivable for Nie Tian, but honorable for Yu Tong.

Actually, Yu Tong might even be willing to take the blame.

After he had told them everything, the girl with the oval-shaped face stared at him with disbelief. “You’ve killed a Ghost sect disciple, and escaped from Yu Tong? And Yu Tong… broke into the Lesser Heaven stage?”

“Liar…” Li Xi muttered.

The other trial takers from the Mystic Mist sect also seemed to be doubting the authenticity of his words, suspecting that he was merely bragging.

In their eyes, if Yu Tong had truly broken into the Lesser Heaven stage, she would have possessed unparalleled strength in the Green Illusion dimension.

Even Yuan Feng died by her hands. How could a nobody like Nie Tian be able to escape from her?

They would never have expected that not only was Nie Tian able to escape Yu Tong’s pursuit, but he also managed to inflict serious damage on her twice.

Nie Tian continued with a firm expression, “Oh, perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. After Yu Tong killed Yuan Feng and Yun Song, she sustained injuries, and consumed most of her power. Only because of that was I able to escape from her pursuit and flee here.”
