Chapter 412: Breaking up in Discord (2/2)

“All I want is for this exploration trip in the Realm of Dark Underworld to be finished soon so that I can get as far away from her as possible.” Nie Tian make his stance clear again.

Seeing that he was rather determined and didn’t show the slightest intention to resolve the issue between them, Han Mu let out a soft sigh and gave up.

He was well-aware that Nie Tian had been highly regarded by Qi warriors in the Realm of a Thousand Devastations after helping them relieve their crisis.

Meanwhile, Nie Tian possessed the legacy marks from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. As long as he didn’t die prematurely, the sky would be his limit.

Therefore, he was slightly worried that Dong Li would act rashly and get Nie Tian killed somehow, which would definitely draw the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect’s wrath, putting her and the Dong Clan in huge trouble.

In the dark forest, the people from the Realm of a Hundred Battles gradually stopped talking with one another.

They either practiced cultivation with spirit stones, or tried to derive enlightenment from the incantations they practiced. Every single one of them was submerged in their own world.

The same went for Nie Tian.

Firstly, he consumed a substantial amount of spirit beast meat. Then, he conducted rounds of tempering of his spiritual sea, making preparations for his advancement into the Greater Heaven stage.

Late in the night, after finishing another round of the expansion of his spiritual sea, he opened his eyes and glanced around.

He discovered that the two Worldly realm Qi warriors from the Pill Pavilion Sect were nowhere to be seen. Even though he was curious about where they had gone, he didn’t attach much importance to it, but instead closed his eyes and resumed cultivation.

Moments later, he was suddenly awoken by the sounds of garments fluttering. His eyes snapped open, and he saw that one of the Worldly realm experts from the Pill Pavilion Sect was back.

It was Qiu Liang, an early Worldly realm expert. The moment he returned, he said to the crowd in a low voice, “We’ve found some members of the Spirit God Sect in the vicinity. All of them died rather strangely.”

One after another, people were awoken from their cultivation. With furrowed eyebrows, they gazed at him.

Cao Qiushui rose to his feet and said to the crowd, looking at Dong Li, “We’ll go over there and take a look, but we don’t need everyone to come.”

“Han Mu, Wu Tian, you come with us.” Dong Li waved at them.

Qin Yan, Gu Haofeng, and Qian Xin also gathered a couple of subordinates before they left together under Qiu Liang’s leadership.

Dong Mingxuan and the Worldly realm experts from the Gu Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce only opened their eyes and glanced around after hearing Qiu Liang’s words, but they didn’t move a bit.

It seemed that they felt rather secure having Cao Qiushui, Dong Li, and the other juniors make the decisions.

Seeing Nie Tian and Han Mu rise to their feet and leave with Dong Li, the other members of the Dong Clan started whispering to each other, deeply puzzled.

“Wu Tian?! Miss Dong is actually taking Wu Tian?”

“I understand why she’s taking big brother Han Mu, but why the hell would she take Wu Tian?”

“This is odd.”

Gu Haofeng’s face was also filled with confusion as he constantly looked over his shoulder to check on Dong Li and Nie Tian, not understanding why she would take the man who had dared to have a heated argument with her.

It wasn’t very long before Qiu Liang led the small team to a secluded corner of the forest.

The corpses of seven Qi warriors dressed in the Spirit God Sect’s garments were scattered on the ground, all of whom had bulging eyes and blood at the corners of their eyes.

After a brief scan, they failed to locate lethal wounds on any of them.

Then, they discovered that Shen Zhong, the middle Worldly realm expert from the Pill Pavilion Sect, was standing with his back against a large tree, his face expressionless.

He adopted the same attitude even when Qian Xin, the son of the Pill Pavilion Sect’s sectmaster, came over to him.

However, Qian Xin didn’t seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he bowed to him before going off to examine the corpses with Dong Li and the others.

Nie Tian followed Dong Li and Han Mu to the side of one of the corpses, where they crouched down to conduct a thorough examination.

“This man didn’t suffer any physical wounds, but his soul was shattered.” Han Mu made the judgment after a brief scan. “His soul was probably instantly shattered by some sort of powerful psychic magic. The strange thing is that disciples of the Spirit God Sect should prioritize their cultivation of psychic power. How come they even failed to withstand a single blow?”

“What do you think?” Dong Li asked Nie Tian.

Nie Tian didn’t say a word. Instead, he secretly took a glance at the two Worldly realm experts from the Pill Pavilion Sect, and said, “I don’t think his soul took a strong blow from a fierce psychic attack. Instead, it looks like someone took his soul.”

Upon overhearing his words, Shen Zhong from the Pill Pavilion Sect suddenly shot an astonished gaze at him.
