Chapter 295: Fame Spread Far and Wide! (1/2)
A few days passed…
Song Li and Han Mu had already left the Void Illusion Mountain Range and were traveling directly towards Shatter City at full speed.
Between the Void Illusion Mountain Range and Shatter City lay boundless hills and a wasteland. It would take a normal early Heaven stage cultivator two to three months to cross such a vast area and return to Shatter City.
It would take longer if they ran into Hunters and battled with them.
According to Song Li and Han Mu’s assessment, even though Nie Tian’s actual strength was far beyond a normal early Heaven stage cultivator’s, it was still very unlikely for him to make it back to Shatter City within a short time.
After all, numerous Fang members were waiting for him on his way back to Shatter City. He would be forced to constantly change his direction and take detours to avoid them.
Another day passed…
Song Li and Han Mu found three dead Fang members at the foot of a short hill.
The three of them were all at the middle Heaven stage and skilled in attacking enemies together.
Even still, they had apparently died at Nie Tian’s hands.
On the ground, next to their highly corrupted corpses, which were already highly corroded due to the concentrated toxins, was a message written in blood: Dumb woman, my real name is Hua Tian!
Under the glaring sun, the dried-up blood writing was a pain to Song Li’s eyes.
“Hua Tian!” Song Li suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream, her curvaceous body trembling with anger and her wide eyes sprouting flames of rage.
Han Mu, however, didn’t utter a word. He stared down at the sentence written in blood, face looking sullen.
Everyone knew that Li Langfeng had been looking everywhere in the Void Illusion Mountain Range for a young man named Hua Tian. It was no news to the Fang.
Li Langfeng had roamed about in the Void Illusion Mountain Range for years. Even the Fang always avoided conflict with him.
The fact that a young man had managed to escape from this wild poison master, who treated others’ lives as dirt, had long since attracted the Fang’s attention. Even more so, Li Langfeng hadn’t been able to find him after searching for weeks.
However, Han Mu had never connected Hua Tian with the Li Tian they were looking for.
Until this moment…
Looking at the bloody words on the ground, he finally realized that the man they were looking for was none other than the Hua Tian Li Langfeng was so eager to kill.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Miss, I’m afraid this Hua Tian person isn’t just an ordinary young man. According to the information we’ve gathered, he’s very close to Pei Qiqi. Furthermore, he’s the Blood Skull guest elder with the lowest cultivation base, which means someone lofty in the Blood Skull must attach great importance to him.
“Cai Lan of the Blood Skull and Pei Qiqi’s master are both influential figures in the Realm of Split Void.
“If you anger them by killing this Hua Tian person, I fear that your major plan in the Realm of Split Void will be affected.”
“So what are you saying?” Song Li asked with a cold tone.
Han Mu smiled embarrassedly and asked, “I can’t presume to know what Hua Tian did to offend you. But if it’s not so serious that he has to die for it, perhaps we can let it go this time. After all, some people must be secretly watching every move you’ve made ever since you came to the Realm of Split Void. I just think it’s not worth it to jeopardize your major plan just because of a single person.”
“Let it go?!” With a cold expression, Song Li slapped Han Mu vigorously on the face and said with a fierce tone, “That bastard has to die to atone for what he has done! I’d rather sacrifice my plan to kill him! I know that if I kill him, I’ll be making enemies of Pei Qiqi’s master and Cai Lan. So what?! Worst comes to worst, we’ll leave the Realm of Split Void!”
Surprisingly, Han Mu, who had been slapped on the face, didn’t seemed angered at all. He secretly observed and, after realizing that Song Li had made up her mind, no longer attempted to persuade her.
“I see! I’ll do everything within my power to catch him on his way back to Shatter City!” An intense killing aura burst forth from within Han Mu’s body.
“I won’t go back before Hua Tian is dead, not even if my plan doesn’t work out!” Song Li said loudly, her voice filled with hatred.
A few days passed…
During this period, Song Li informed all her Fang members via Sound Stones to ignore other explorers who were on their way back to Shatter City and focus solely on searching for Nie Tian.
Not only that, she even communicated with other Hunter organizations for the first time, asking them to help her track down Nie Tian.
There were quite a few Hunter organizations that roamed the area between the Void Illusion Mountain Range and Shatter City. However, none of them were nearly as powerful as the Fang.
All their leaders feared and revered the Fang and Song Li a great deal, fearing that the Fang might take them out some day.
When they learned that Song Li wanted their help searching for a young man name Hua Tian, they were all very thrilled.
They even spent more time and effort than the Fang members; they mobilized every single member to cooperate with the Fang in search of Nie Tian, hoping they could please Song Li by doing so.
Just like that, every Hunter organization in the hills and wasteland spread out looking for Nie Tian.
Furthermore, numerous scrolls that carried the detailed portrait of Nie Tian’s face were soon distributed to every Hunter organization. Countless bandits and outlaws now roamed about holding them.
With the massive search going on, all the exploration teams that returned from the Void Illusion Mountain Range were relieved from the potential ambushes.
They also heard that all the Hunter organizations were searching for a young man named Hua Tian on their way back to Shatter City.
Soon, Hua Tian became a famous name among both Hunters and explorers.
However, Nie Tian, who had been marked as a primary target by all the Hunter organizations, traveled among the hills and wastelands like an invisible ghost.
Not a single Hunter was able to locate and capture him.
On the contrary, the corpses of many early and middle Heaven stage Hunters were discovered in the wilderness, all of whom had died miserable deaths.
Meanwhile, the name “Hua Tian” was always written in blood on the ground next to them, holding the Fang and all those who dared to participate in the search in awe.
