Chapter 397: Dong Li’s Threa (1/2)

Chapter 397: Dong Lis Threat

The waves on Black Water Lake gradually subsided.

After devouring those black-robed Qi warriors, the spirit beasts circled around in the lake to absorbe the green water, and then descended back to the depths of the lake.

With fine rain drizzling down from the sky, Black Water Lake became peaceful and quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

Standing by the shore, Luo Xin said in a low voice, her heart filled with frigid coldness, “What a cunning and vicious woman!”

Not having her own Heaven Eyes, she wasn’t able to get every detail of what had happened in the lake as Nie Tian did.

However, she was able to tell that those seven Qi warriors from the Realm of Black Marsh were eaten alive by the spirit beasts due to Dong Li’s appearance.

Dong Li had warned those black-robed Qi warriors to come back ashore in a loud voice, while knowing perfectly well that ferocious spirit beasts were residing in the depths of the lake.

Obviously, it hadn’t been her intention to let those Qi warriors realize the consequences and thus return to the shore.

By threatening and warning them, she had actually intended to make them feel a sense of urgency, so that they would rush towards the spirit plants on the central islands.

As it turned out, her scheme worked. Two other middle Greater Heaven stage Qi warriors had joined the plan and rushed towards the small islands, and as the result, none of the seven black-robed Qi warriors had survived those spirit beasts’ sharp teeth.

The mere thought of Dong Li’s trickery made Luo Xin’s blood run cold. She couldn’t help but turn to Nie Tian ask, “How in the world did you manage to survive till now after offending that woman?”

Nie Tian also seemed in awe after witnessing such a brutal scene. He smiled without saying a word.

Deep down, he knew that if he hadn’t caught a whiff of Dong Li’s scheme in the dense forest with the help of his Heaven Eyes, he might have been killed by Dong Li already, like Shen Wei and the others.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered how he had pretended to like her and then humiliated her in the dense forest.

He understood how much Dong Li must hate him. Now that they were in the Dong Clan’s territory, Dong Li had access to all the resources she needed. Once she discovered his whereabouts, it would be hard to say if he would be able to leave the Realm of a Hundred Battles in one piece.

Seeing that Nie Tian had fallen silent, Luo Xin smiled bitterly and suggested, “We’d better get away from that woman as soon as possible. The way I see it, there might be other people from the Realm of Black Marsh in this area, and they are probably coming for her. But even so, I doubt that they will be able to hurt that woman. We’d better get out of here while the thing between them isn’t over.”

Nie Tian nodded as he commanded his Heaven Eyes, which he had previously summoned to float right above Black Water Lake, to spread out.

That was when he noticed that the brawling and struggling in Black Water Lake had attracted three teams of human Qi warriors that had been exploring in the vicinity. Driven by curiosity, they were rapidly converging on the lake from different directions.

Nie Tian could tell from the way they were dressed that none of the groups were from the Realm of Black Marsh.

But unfortunately, the group of Cloudsoaring Sect members wasn’t among them.

He also sensed that the brawling seemed to have attracted the attention of spirit beasts that were foraging in further areas. He could tell that a few surges of vigorous life fluctuations were growing clearer and clearer, which meant a number of spirit beasts were also approaching Black Water Lake.

Considering that the situation was getting increasingly complicated, Nie Tian didn’t intend to stay any longer, lest he and Luo Xin get into trouble.

Just as he was about to leave, Dong Li, who was standing a significant distance away from him, suddenly chuckled and called out into the air, “Hua Tian! I know you’re here, and I know you can hear me! Listen! I want you to come out and help me annihilate all the rats from the Realm of Black Marsh in this area!”

Luo Xin was confused. “Hua Tian...? Who’s Hua Tian?”

However, Nie Tian’s expression flickered as his momentum came to a stop.

“The woman is crazy,” Nie Tian whispered. “Only a fool would answer her calls.”

“Hua Tian!” Dong Li called out again. “I know why you’re here. I know some of your family and friends are currently in my clan’s territory. Perhaps they’re not far from here. I hope you understand that this is my turf.

“If you dare to ignore me, I can assure you that, even if those friends and family of yours are still alive, there’s no way that you’ll get them out of the Realm of a Hundred Battles alive!

“You’d better believe that I’m capable of making good on my word!”

“Bitch!!” Nie Tian burst into a flaming rage.
