Chapter 200: Strength of Another Level! (1/2)

“Yeah! Nie Tian!”

Shen Xiu also sounded deeply confused. “Little Tong said Nie Tian claimed that he obtained a Fruit of Life during the Heaven Gate trial and after taking it, his blood now carries life power. And it was his blood that awakened the Bone Blood Demon and brought it under his command.”

“Didn’t you trap the Bone Blood Demon’s mutilated soul in the Blood Spirit Pearl?” Sectmaster Li Jing said.

“Yeah, but it escaped from the Blood Spirit Pearl and merged with its fleshy body.” Bitterness could be seen on Shen Xiu’s face as she continued, “Little Tong’s cultivation base is too low and her understandings of demon controlling magics are still shallow. If I were there, I could have overpowered its soul and brought it under my control.”

“I see…” Still wreathed in a dense blood aura, Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, “If it were another time, I would never allow someone from the other sects to control the Bone Blood Demon that we cultivated with heart and soul. But these are different times.”

Li Jing shifted her gaze away from Shen Xiu and focused on Groete and Sarah, who were standing quite a distance from her.

“It could be a good news for us. Tell Little Tong that we need Wu Ji’s disciple to bring the Bone Blood Demon here as soon as possible.

“Even though the Bone Blood Demon can’t fully restore its eighth level bloodline power, it’s still strong enough to keep that Sarah outsider busy.

“At that time, I’ll jump in and fight her together. I believe by doing that, we’ll be able to force the outsiders to raise their siege.”

Shen Xiu’s spirit was greatly lifted as she replied, “Got it!”

With these words, she casted her secret magic and communicated Li Jing’s plans with Yu Tong via the Blood Spirit Pearl.

…

In the place where the demon Qi had dispersed.

Feng Luo, Hong Can and all the others were gathered around Nie Tian, waiting for him to absorb the Soul Restoring Pills and restore his psychic power.

Holding the Blood Spirit Pearl in her hands, many expressions flashed across Yu Tong’s delicate face as she received her master’s message.

Moments later, she put away the Blood Spirit Pearl and said to everyone, “Things are not looking good in our sect!”

“Did you just connect with your master via the Blood Spirit Pearl?” Elation could be seen in Feng Luo’s eyes.

Hong Can and the others were also intrigued as they all shifted their gazes away from Nie Tian onto Yu Tong.

Some of them knew that the Blood Spirit Pearl belonged to Shen Xiu, so she could communicate with Yu Tong via it when it was within certain distance.

Furthermore, none of them had an idea of what was going on in the Blood sect.

Therefore, they were rather eager to get a hold of the situation over there.

Yu Tong held nothing back as she answered Feng Luo’s question. She told him about the difficult situation they were in, including that a few high-tier outsiders laid siege to them and that they were about to run out the stored spirit beast blood.

She also relayed Li Jing’s message that she hoped Nie Tian could lead the Bone Blood Demon to the Blood sect and assist her in battle as quickly as possible.

Everyone let out sighs of relief after hearing Yu Tong’s words.

The situation over in the Blood sect was a bit better than what they had expected. After all, most of the powerful experts were still alive and they could hold their ground since the grand spell formation hadn’t yet been breached by the outsiders.

“She said that as long as Nie Tian could bring the Bone Blood Demon to the battlefield, she’ll have a way to turn the situation around?” Hong Can exclaimed.

Yu Tong nodded. “Yes, that’s what our sectmaster said.”

“Good!” With a deep breath, Hong Can looked over at Nie Tian and said, “We’ll protect Nie Tian; march out to the Blood sect together as soon as he wakes up!”

“Time is of the essence. We’d better hurry.” Seeing that Nie Tian was still not awake after quite some time, Yu Tong became somewhat anxious. “My master said that they’re running out of spirit beast blood. Once they drain the blood storage, the blood shadow will no longer be able to protect them with the blood shield. At that time, nothing will be able to stop the flood of countless low-tier outsiders and many of our sectmates will die!”

Upon hearing her words, a desire to wake Nie Tian rose in Feng Luo’s heart.

At that very moment, Li Fan from the Cloudsoaring sect frowned and said, “He took far too many Soul Restoring Pills. We’d better let him awake by himself. Right now, all his attention is concentrated on refining the pills. If we interrupt him at such a moment and he falls into a Qi deviation, will you be responsible for the consequences? Even though you don’t care about him, you should consider how it would affect the situation over in your sect!”

After hearing these words, Feng Luo swallowed the words that were already at the tip of his tongue.

He was aware that Li Fan’s comments made sense. After all, with his low cultivation base, Nie Tian was trying to refine multiple Soul Restoring Pills at the same time to recover his psychic power in the shortest time possible. He didn’t want to achieve the opposite result by waking him prematurely.

After a moment of hesitation, Feng Luo sat back down and said with a helpless tone, “Let’s wait then. I hope he can wake up sooner rather than later. He is the only hope for the survivors of the Blood sect. They desperately need him to step up now.”

Meanwhile, Nie Tian immersed himself in his soul to observe the seven fragmentary stars. As the efficacy of the Soul Restoring Pills kicked in, they were constantly expanding and shining with even brighter starlight.

The starlight seemed to have merged with his psychic awareness and caused it to upgrade into something more powerful, like an eye in the sky.

With it, he could now micro-detect the movement of nearby creatures’ muscles and blood, through which he could briefly tell the person’s cultivation base.

Before, he could only use his psychic awareness to sense, but couldn’t see through the surface.

After his psychic awareness was mixed with the starlight, both his sensing ability and perception had heightened.

This made him realize that the power the seven fragmentary stars unleashed was a different kind of power from his original psychic power.
