Chapter 465: Another Lie

Rubbing his cheek where Dong Li’s lips had been, Nie Tian was dumbstruck.

He hadn’t expected that Dong Li would kiss him.

Dong Li’s face blossomed into a bright smile. “You should look at your face. Now, you look even more like a fool.”

Instead of backing away after initiating the kiss, she pressed herself close to Nie Tian and said with a flirtatious tone, “Alright, tell me: how do you propose I inform the people from the Tool Sect?”

Nie Tian snapped out of his daze and said, “I suppose some Tool Sect elders are still searching in the vicinity.”

“But as you know, I’m not good at finding people,” Dong Li said.

Nie Tian nodded. “I’ll take care of that.”

Eyes narrowed, he got ahold of his bearings and sped towards the Bonebrutes’ former headquarters.

Of the three clusters of life aura he had detected earlier, that one was the closest to them.

Dong Li followed along and said, “Try not to say anything from now on. I’ll do the talking so that the people from the Tool Sect don’t question your identity.”

“That’s what I was thinking,” Nie Tian said with a smile.

He secretly commanded his nine Heaven Eyes to fly towards the direction where he and Dong Li were heading, hoping to find that Tool Sect expert he had detected earlier as soon as possible.

Two hours later, when one of his Heaven Eyes discovered that expert, Nie Tian immediately withdrew it.

The other eight Heaven Eyes also vanished at lightning speed as soon as he withdrew his soul power from them.

It wasn’t long before Qi Yin’s soul awareness, which he had unleashed to search for Zhao Shanling, caught the aura of Nie Tian and Dong Li.

Qin Yi immediately flew towards the two of them.

Within seconds, he appeared in the air above Nie Tian and Dong Li’s heads. Surprised by the sight of Dong Li, he said, “Dong Li? How come you’re here?”

Dong Li looked up and discovered that it was Qin Yi. Overjoyed, she said, “Why are you here, Great Grandpa Qin?”

Qin Yi was from the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce, Qin Yan’s great grandfather. Since Dong Li was good friends with Qin Yan, and she had met him on many occasions before, she recognized him at once.

“I asked a friend to forge me a spiritual tool here in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation. The equipment forging turned out to be a failure, but I came to learn about the return of Zhao Shanling and his Death Reign. Therefore, I’m helping the Tool Sect find that traitor.” With these words, Qin Yi descended from midair, and his gaze landed on Nie Tian. “Who’s this?”

“Oh, he’s a friend of mine,” Dong Li answered without thinking.

Looking deeply at Nie Tian, a flash of light flashed across Qin Yi’s eyes as he exclaimed, “Is this the Wu Tian who went to the Realm of Dark Underworld with you?”

Even though he was friends with Hua Mu, since Hua Mu had never told him about Nie Tian, he didn’t know that Wu Tian was actually Nie Tian.

However, as one of the chiefs of the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce, he had learned about what had happened in the Realm of Dark Underworld not long ago.

After returning from the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce, Qin Yan had told him everything about their exploration trip to the Realm of Dark Underworld.

The only thing she had held back was the fact that Wu Tian was actually Nie Tian, because she had promised Dong Li that she would keep that a secret.

Therefore, Qin Yi only knew that a young man named Wu Tian, who was a subordinate of Dong Li, had played an important role in their exploration trip before he had eventually gone missing with a mysterious object forged by the Phantasms.

Later, when everyone on the exploration team had returned to the Realm of Dark Underworld, Dong Li was the only one who had stayed there for some reason. The entire Dong Clan had worried about her safety.

The moment Dong Li saw Qin Yi, she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep Nie Tian’s identity as Wu Tian from him, and thus said, “Yes, this is Wu Tian.”

Many people from the Realm of a Hundred Battles had seen the mask Nie Tian was wearing, which had been given to him by Dong Baijie as a gift. A brief inspection, and Qin Yi would learn that the young man before him was the ‘Wu Tian’ who had been to the Realm of Dark Underworld with Dong Li and many others.

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to withhold it from Qin Yi, she decided to admit to it.

However, she was slightly worried, not sure if Qin Yan had kept the fact that Wu Tian was another identity of Nie Tian’s from Qin Yi.
