Chapter 362: Discovery

The Thunder Beast screeched as it repeatedly swooped towards Nie Tian and Huang Fan.

Meanwhile, Huang Fan’s 24 yellow banners hovered and rotated around them at a fast speed, creating violent spiritual power fluctuations.

The Thunder Beast made repeated attempts to charge through the protective spell formation formed by the hovering banners, but failed each and every time.

Under Nie Tian’s request, Huang Fan forced himself to hold his temper and not kill the Thunder Beast.

Considering his late Profound realm cultivation base and the might of his flying banners, it would be a piece of cake for him to slaughter that Thunder Beast.

What Huang Fan truly attached importance to was the mutant spirit beast that was lurking in the dark this whole time and letting out commanding roars.

Watching the Thunder Beast be bewitched by the demonsounds and swoop towards him repeatedly as if it had completely lost its mind, Nie Tian sighed and said, “I can’t believe it also carries a Demon bloodline…

“From the look of it, most of the high-grade spirit beasts in the Realm of Flame Heaven probably carry Demon bloodlines and have deep-rooted bonds with Demons.

“If we let the Realm of Flame Heaven be flooded by demon Qi, I’m afraid it would soon turn into a purgatory for humans.”

At that moment, Su Lin said, “That was why the Realm of Earth Sieve and the Realm of Dark Underworld aborted their invasion plan after learning about the Realm of Flame Heaven’s situation.”

Nie Tian’s expression grew grim as he turned to her and asked, “Back when the Heaven Gate opened in our realm, did the Heaven Palace Sect know that it would be followed by a massive Demon invasion? Did the Heaven Palace Sect take part in the Realm of Earth Sieve and the Realm of Dark Underworld’s scheme?”

“In the Heaven Palace Sect, I’m just a small figure, and I don’t have access to those confidential matters,” Su Lin said with an indifferent tone.

Standing off to the side, Huang Fan picked up their conversation between by saying, “We didn’t know that the opening of the Heaven Gates would result in the appearance of spatial rifts, much less that Demons would come through them and invade the Realm of Flame Heaven.

“However, we did receive information about the Realm of Earth Sieve and the Realm of Dark Underworld’s plan to invade your realm. You should know that, before the Demons’ invasion, the nine realms of the Domain of the Falling Stars didn’t always get along peacefully. It’s natural for wars to break out among realms.

“Weren’t the seven sects of the Realm of Flame Heaven engaged in pitched battles right before the Demons came along?

“The same goes for the nine realms in the Domain of the Falling Stars.

“Some realms would go to war with nearby realms due to their contradictory cultivating concepts or feuds between their sects or even individuals. This has always been the main theme of the nine realms. There’s nothing unusual about it.”

With these words, Huang Fan gave a snort and continued, “As a matter of fact, brawls among powerful sects help talented Qi warriors grow and stand out. Furthermore, as wars break out between realms, their sects will also develop and grow.

“The Heaven Palace Sect hasn’t always been the most powerful sect in the Domain of the Falling Stars. We fought our way up through countless battles and wars, and gradually grew into the formidable force we are today.

“The sects in the Realm of Flame Heaven also need to go through similar challenges in order to grow and expand at a fast rate.”

Nie Tian listened attentively and mulled over Huang Fan’s words.

Huang Fan suddenly waved his large hand, yelling, “Will you leave us alone?!”

Emanating large amounts of blinding golden light, a gigantic banner flew into the air and wrapped the Thunder Beast inside of it.

The Thunder Beast let out a begrudging screech as it madly twisted its body, hoping to struggle free from the banner’s constraint. Yet, all of its efforts were in vain.

Huang Fan shot a cold glance at Nie Tian, saying, “I’m only not killing it because I want to give you face, so I’ll only imprison it for the time being. Meanwhile, you stay here and don’t go anywhere. I doubt that the hidden spirit beast will give up so easily. I have a feeling that it will think of other ways to kill you.”
