Chapter 259: Escaping A Difficult Situation (1/2)

A strange feeling hit Nie Tian the moment the wisp of Pei Qiqi’s psychic power entered his Heaven Eye.

In that split second, numerous emotions, including anxiety, impatience, and frustration, rushed out of Pei Qiqi’s psychic awareness and into Nie Tian’s mind.

Nie Tian immediately saw through Pei Qiqi’s mind.

This unprecedented ability astonished Nie Tian to a great extent.

Pei Qiqi, on the other hand, was struck by a feeling that someone was peeking into her mind and seeing through every feeling she was experiencing.

The strange feeling made her both shocked and scared. It even made her hair stand on end.

She felt that she was completely exposed to the cluster of psychic power, and there was no way for her to hide her feelings, but she somehow had a feeling that it meant her no harm.

After the connection was established between their minds, Nie Tian paid close attention as he waited for Pei Qiqi to respond.

However, he felt nothing. Pei Qiqi, who was also at the Heaven stage, hadn’t upgraded her psychic power to soul power yet, and thus wasn’t able to conduct a soul-level communication with him.

After a short period of fruitless waiting, Nie Tian realized Pei Qiqi might not be able to communicate.

Therefore, he sent another message via the Heaven Eye that had been floating over Pei Qiqi, “This is Hua Tian.”

As soon as the message was relayed by the Heaven Eye, Nie Tian immediately sensed strong fluctuations in Pei Qiqi’s psychic awareness.

Astonishment and confusion rushed out of the wisp of Pei Qiqi’s psychic power.

That was when Nie Tian realized that even though Pei Qiqi couldn’t respond to his thoughts, she was able to receive them.

His new findings greatly lifted his spirit.

Nie Tian explained his plan to Pei Qiqi in detail via his Heaven Eye, “I’ve already taken out the Dark Moon members that were guarding the opening of the valley, and I’ve dismantled the barriers they set up, so you won’t run into any obstructions.

“You and Cai Yuan should evacuate through there as soon as possible. All you need to do is to use a few spatial rifts to stall Ma Jiu and his two sidekicks. Then, we’ll be free to leave the valley and enter the vast open area where there are even more active spatial rifts.

“I’ll meet you at the opening of the valley.”

He could clearly feel that Pei Qiqi was first shocked, puzzled, and surprised, and then gradually calmed down.

Furthermore, since he could not only perceive Pei Qiqi’s emotions via his Heaven Eye, but also detect the subtle changes of her facial expressions, Nie Tian realized that Pei Qiqi had accepted his proposal.

Afterwards, Nie Tian carefully controlled that Heaven Eye of his to fly away from Pei Qiqi.

After all, a large number of spatial rifts were swimming in midair. Leaving his Heaven Eye there would be very dangerous.

According to his understanding, not only were those spatial rifts destructive to fleshy bodies, but they were also deadly to the intangible psychic awareness.

As his Heaven Eye moved further away from Pei Qiqi, Nie Tian heard her decision, “Let’s break out of the blockade, Cai Yuan!”

The young lord of the Blood Skull seemed surprised as he stared blankly at Pei Qiqi and asked, “Break out? Where?”

Pei Qiqi gave him a hint by shooting a glance at the opening of the mountain valley.

“That place must be heavily guarded by Dark Moon experts. If we don’t get past their blockade before Ma Jiu catches up to us…” Cai Yuan smiled bitterly. “It won’t work, Qiqi. We only need to hold on for a while longer, and our reinforcements will arrive.

“As soon as my Blood Skull brothers arrive, Ma Jiu and his Dark Moon minions will become the prey instead of the hunters!”

Pei Qiqi’s slender eyebrows furrowed as she explained, “But I won’t be able to hold on for two more days. As a matter of fact, if we continue to run and hide like this, I’ll use up all my strength within a day. If it comes down to that, we won’t be able to hide ourselves among the spatial rifts, and if we choose to come out at that point, only death awaits us.”

Upon hearing her words, Cai Yuan’s expression flickered slightly as he fell into silence.

“Trust me.” Pei Qiqi assumed an assertive tone.

Cai Yuan nodded and said, “Alright! I’ll follow your lead and go wherever you go!”

“Good! Make sure you stay close to me at all times.” Pei Qiqi’s ample chest rose as she took a deep breath. Then, she summoned her remaining strength to manipulate a few spatial rifts that were slithering in her surroundings.

In the next moment, a number of enormous spatial rifts, which were shining with bright light, changed from their original path, and their speed also accelerated noticeably.

Not far behind Pei Qiqi, Ma Jiu watched as the spatial rifts that were originally going to swamp her and Cai Yuan turned around and shot towards the three of them like interweaving lightning bolts.

They hastily shifted their positions to avoid contact.
