Chapter 308: Turn Back (1/2)

Nie Tian sat silently in the metal war chariot, activating the medicinal efficacy of the pills Li Ye had given him with rapt attention while Cai Yuan and Li Ye indulged in smalltalk.

Eyes closed, Xue Long also sat in silence.

Before long, Nie Tian sensed numerous wisps of energy flowing out of the pills. There were two kinds of energy. One was flesh power, which flowed to his wounds and stabilized his injuries alongside the wood power that had flowed out of his spiritual sea.

The other was pure, rich spiritual power, which rapidly flowed towards and filled his spiritual sea.

Since the medicinal efficacy of Li Ye’s pills was very strong, the spiritual power Nie Tian had consumed earlier on was quickly being replenished.

However, his vortexes of flame power, wood power, and star power didn’t undergo any noticeable changes.

Two hours later…

Cai Yuan held his Sound Stone to his ear and received a message, before he turned to Li Ye and said, “Our men are almost here.”

The tipsy Li Ye let out a snort and said, “Those damn Hunters only have the balls to snipe individuals who come to the Void Illusion Mountain Range. The moment they saw you, they scattered and ran for their lives. Rats like them should have been extinguished long ago. I can’t believe they actually dared to join together and hunt down Hua Tian. Stupid morons.”

“Actually, the Fang summoned them,” Cai Yuan said with a frown.

“The Fang?!” Li Ye went blank for a moment before asking, “What do you know about them? Have you ever seen their female leader in person?”

Cai Yuan shook his head. “No, actually I haven’t. This Fang is very different from the other Hunter organizations. We’ve been investigating their origin. I think we’ll learn the truth soon.”

With a surprised expression on his face, Li Ye asked, “They’re not from here?”

“Em.” Cai Yuan nodded. “They’re definitely not from the Realm of Split Void. None of their members are familiar to us. I just don’t know which realm of the Domain of the Falling Stars they came from, and who is backing them.”

Moments later…

Numerous Blood Skull members appeared from the direction where Cai Yuan and the others had come from. Under the leadership of a Greater Heaven stage expert, they rapidly arrived by the war chariot.

As soon as they did, Cai Yuan rose in high spirits, leapt out of the metal war chariot, and went to talk with the Greater Heaven stage expert.

At that moment, Nie Tian slowly opened his eyes, smiled towards Li Ye, who was sitting next to him, and said, “The efficacy of the medicinal pills you gave me is quite amazing.”

After such a short time, his injuries had been stabilized, and he had restored thirty percent of his spiritual power.

At this very moment, those pills were still providing him with rich flesh power, which joined the wood power from his vortex of wood power in gradually healing the trauma to his flesh and bones.

Even though he hadn’t restored any flame power or star power, at least he was capable of handling another battle now.

Li Ye rolled his eyes at Nie Tian and said, as if he was aching over his valuable medicinal pills, “Of course! Those pills are of premium quality. Don’t you compare them to the medicinal pills you looted from the Hunters you killed. You’ve gained quite a fortune during this trip of yours. Remember to pay me back after we return to Shatter City.”

Nie Tian laughed heartily and said, “No problem. Also, when we return, I would like you to forge a spiritual tool that suits me.”

“Sure, forging spiritual tools is what I do.” Li Ye raised his chin slightly. “However, as the saying goes, money matters should be settled even among brothers. You should know that my rate is famously high. If you want me to forge a spiritual tool for you, I won’t settle for less just because it’s you.”

Nie Tian nodded. “Of course! That’s only fair.”

“Alright then. I’ll forge you a spiritual tool that agrees with your cultivation after we return to Shatter City.” Li Ye rubbed his chin and muttered, “You freak… You’re already so powerful when you don’t even have a suitable spiritual tool. God knows how powerful you’ll become when you have a customized spiritual tool I made for you.”

At that moment, Xue Long, who had been cultivating the whole time, suddenly opened his mouth. “It won’t be easy to forge a spiritual tool that suits him.”

He briefly scanned Nie Tian using his deep, profound eyes, as if he was seeing through him.

Li Ye let out a snort and said, “When it comes to equipment forging, I’m only second to my master throughout the entire Shatter City! If I can’t forge a suitable spiritual tool for him, then I don’t know who has the ability to do it, considering my master hasn’t returned yet.”

Xue Long didn’t make any comments to Li Ye’s words. His eyes were still fixed on Nie Tian as he said with a calm tone, “It’s not wise to bite off more than you can chew. Cultivating multiple-attribute spiritual incantations at the same time could very likely result in a lack of energy and effort you put into each of them. Because of that, you’ll have to spend more time to make advancements in your cultivation base. I just hope you can live long enough to achieve those advancements.”

“Thank you for your advice,” Nie Tian said respectfully.

“Multiple attributes…” Li Ye seemed absorbed in his thoughts.

Xue Long nodded. He rose to his feet and looked into the distance, saying, “Let’s go and see how the Fang and Li Langfeng are doing.”

As soon as he said those words, Nie Tian sensed that the aura he was wreathed in suddenly changed.

It was as if Xue Long had turned into a sharp sword, and the fierce aura it unleashed into its surroundings could even be used to cut the air.

Standing next to him, Li Ye and Nie Tian both had a feeling that their skin was being stabbed by the fierce aura he emanated.

The late Heaven stage Li Ye felt very uncomfortable, and subconsciously stepped backwards to put a sizable distance between Xue Long and himself.

However, Nie Tian, who hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries, stood unwavering like a mountain. He even closed his eyes and used his psychic awareness to examine the fierce aura Xue Long had unleashed.

After closing his eyes, he could see with great clarity that countless wisps of aura, as fine as hairs, had reached out of Xue Long’s pores all over his body, and were fluttering nonstop.
