Chapter 353: Deep Disappointment

As Nie Tian took off his mask and killed Yuan Fengchun, Hua Mu couldn’t help but marvel in a soft voice, “Impressive kid!”

In fact, this was the first time Hua Mu had witnessed Nie Tian battle against someone.

Before, he had only heard about his stunning battle achievements in the Green Illusion dimension, Heaven Gate trial, and the Realm of Split Void.

Even though he had never doubted Nie Tian’s extraordinary battle prowess, knowing that he possessed bloodline power, two fragmentary star marks, and the Flame Dragon Armor, he had never expected that Nie Tian would actually be able to sneak up on and kill the middle Greater Heaven stage Yuan Fengchun so effortlessly.

Furthermore, the numerous clan members and guest elders Yuan Fengchun had brought with him were all at the Heaven stage, roughly at the same stage as Nie Tian.

However, none of them had survived Nie Tian’s attacks. In fact, they were not even capable of withstanding a single strike.

The outstanding battle prowess Nie Tian had displayed shocked Hua Mu to the core. He had an increasingly strong feeling that he had made a smart decision by saving Nie Tian many years ago when he had stopped by Black Cloud City and accidentally discovered that he had been seriously ill.

On the other hand, he had become more confident that Nie Tian would be able to progress and transcend at a fast speed, considering his unique qualities.

Sooner or later, Nie Tian would be able to help him with his lifespan problem.

After seeing Nie Tian take off his mask, state his real identity, and behead Yuan Fengchun, a clamor immediately burst forth amongst the onlookers that had stayed.

“Nie Tian!”

“He’s Nie Tian?!”

“He’s back!!”

Shocked, An Rong stood in silence.

An He took a deep breath to calm himself. His eyes glittered with the light of excitement as he gazed at Nie Tian.

Neither An Rong nor An He had expected that Nie Tian would show up while the Yuan Clan was forcing them to move out of their own home.

Mixed emotions rose in An He’s heart as he muttered to himself, “Shiyi’s insightful judgment was indeed our clan’s most valuable fortune!”

He still remembered many years ago when An Shiyi had ignored their clan’s rules and gifted one of their Green Illusion dimension trial slots to Nie Tian. Many seniors in the An Clan had strongly opposed her decision, and thought it had been beyond ridiculous.

Back then, even An He hadn’t quite understood why An Shiyi had made such an odd decision.

He could still remember distinctively that when he had escorted Nie Tian to participate in the Green Illusion dimension trial, he had only been at the Qi Refining stage.

A few years passed so quickly, and Nie Tian had finished the Green Illusion dimension trial, gone through the upheaval in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, survived the bloodbaths in Heaven Gate trial, repulsed the Demon invaders, and eventually grown into a figure that attracted the entire Realm of Flame Heaven’s focus.

Today, he had even killed Yuan Fengchun, the clanmaster of the Yuan Clan, a middle Greater Heaven stage expert.

None of the Yuan Clan’s members or guest elders could withstand a single strike from him.

Within such a short time, he had greatly damaged the Yuan Clan’s vital force. Even though they didn’t get annihilated, they would probably wither away from this point forward.

An He searched in his memories, and then looked at Nie Tian, who was standing right before his eyes. A sense of inauthenticity rose in his heart.

After Yuan Fengchun died, Nie Tian walked over to An He and An Rong in a composed manner. He bowed to them and said with a grin, “Uncle An, Grandpa An.”

As for the dead Yuan Clan members, guest elders, and Yuan Fengchun, he didn’t even have the slightest intention to spare them another glance.

Similarly, he turned a blind eye to the onlooking citizens of Black Cloud City.

An Rong snapped to reality and hastily took a step forward. Face filled with complicated emotions, he gently patted Nie Tian’s shoulder and said, “It’s so nice to see that you’re back. If your grandfather knew that you’ve killed Yuan Fengchun, whom he hated with all his heart, he would surely be very happy.”

He knew the dispute between the Nie Clan and the Yun Clan and Yuan Clan better than anyone.

An He took the initiative and invited Nie Tian. “Come on, Nie Tian. Let’s go in and have a talk.”

“Sorry, I still have business to tend to.” Nie Tian refused respectfully.

An He seemed to suddenly realize something, and nodded repeatedly as he said, “Oh, right. You’ve probably just returned to Black Cloud City. It’s only right that you go back to your clan first. How about this: you go ahead and return to your clan. Later, you’ll come visit us?” He assumed that Nie Tian had just returned to Black Cloud City, and was on his way to the Nie Clan.

An Rong chimed in. “Yeah, don’t forget to visit us after you get things settled in your clan. Now that you’ve taken Shiyi as your sworn sister, we’re family. We don’t treat you as an outsider, so you shouldn’t either. Plus, you helped our clan so much this time, we’ll arrange a feast as a thank you!”

“There isn’t anyone in the Nie Clan I feel attached to now, so I won’t be going back.” Nie Tian said with a expression that was the same as ever, “I’ll go to the Blood Sect and visit Big Sister An and An Ying.”
