Chapter 466: A Crisis Appearing Out of the Blue

Dong Li grabbed Nie Tian and stepped into the spatial tunnel first.

In the next moment, she and Nie Tian appeared in the Bonebrutes’ former headquarters, which was hundreds of kilometers from where they had been a moment before. Looking back, they saw the spatial tunnel floating in the air, three meters from the ground.

Having just witnessed and traveled through this shocking creation of Zhen Huilan’s, Nie Tian was still in a state of bewilderment.

However, Dong Li hastily summoned her black phoenix and took the two of them right up into the sky. Anxious, she said, “Hurry, before they arrive, tell me which crater it is.”

Nie Tian realized what she was thinking. Rapidly glancing around, he determined the crater relying on his memories from not long ago and said, “That’s the one!”

“Good!” Dong Li instantly felt relieved and confident again.

Then, she commanded the black phoenix to come lower. When they reached a safe height, she dropped Nie Tian from the air.

She continued to hover in the air with the help of the black phoenix, pretending she was still trying to determine the location of the crater.

After assuming a firm foothold on the ground, Nie Tian gazed at the spatial tunnel which was floating not far from him, absorbed in thought. “Master Zhen...”

He pondered whether Zhen Huilan had recognized him or not.

Years ago, when Hua Mu had taken him to her residence in Shatter City, she had been there as well.

Even though he had never met her in person during the time he had been there, considering Zhen Huilan’s profound cultivation base and attainments, she must have been able to observe him without actually appearing.

However, at that time, he hadn’t yet acquired the mask he was wearing now.

By the time he had received it from Dong Baijie, Zhen Huilan had long since left Shatter City.

Zhen Huilan probably knew his actual appearance, but not the face he was wearing now. As for whether she was able to recognize him through his life aura or not, Nie Tian couldn’t be sure.

On the other side of the spatial tunnel, Zhen Huilan and Qin Yi didn’t rush into it.

“That girl from the Dong Clan has done quite a few crooked things in the Realm of Split Void under the name ‘Song Li’,” Zhen Huilan said with furrowed eyebrows.

Smiling, Qin Yi said, “That was nothing but child’s play.”

He had also heard about the things Dong Li had done in the Realm of Split Void. Not very long ago, Dong Li had returned to the Dong Clan from the Realm of Split Void and complained to Qin Yan about being humiliated by a young man named Hua Tian.

Since Hua Tian had lived in Zhen Huilan’s residence in Shatter City, he clearly had some sort of connection with her.

However, Qin Yi wasn’t aware that Hua Tian and Wu Tian were both Nie Tian’s assumed names.

He only knew that Zhen Huilan’s poor opinion of Dong Li had a great deal to do with the fact that she had pursued Hua Tian across the Realm of Split Void and sworn to kill him.

“Never mind. Hua Tian didn’t suffer any losses from her anyways.” Zhen Huilan wanted to end the topic.

“Who’s Hua Tian anyway?” Qin Yi asked, curious.

“That’s not important.” Apparently, Zhen Huilan didn’t want to answer that. “If this girl misleads me again and wastes more of my time, I’ll have to teach her a lesson.”

Qin Yi had sensed from her previous conversation with Dong Li that Dong Li had misled her once before.

Considering she wasn’t fond of her in the first place, if she continued to feed her false information about Zhao Shanling, she probably would actually get angry at her.

“I hope the kid is right this time,” Qin Yi thought to himself, starting to worry for Dong Li.

“Let’s go.” Zhen Huilan decided not to waste any more of her precious time. In the blink of an eye, she and Qin Yi traveled through the spatial tunnel and appeared in the Bonebrutes’ former headquarters.

She looked up and saw Dong Li hovering about in the air with the help of her black phoenix, as if she were trying very hard to locate where Zhao Shanling was hiding.

Without paying any attention to Nie Tian, they shot up into the sky and came to a stop by Dong Li’s side.

“Found it yet, kid?” Qin Yi asked.

Zhen Huilan looked at her, expressionless.

After a while of pretended searching, Dong Li had already calmed herself. With a serious face, she pointed down at one of the craters and said, “That’s the one!”

As Zhen Huilan and Qin Yi’s gazes followed her hand to an enormous crater, they started examining it with their soul awareness and exquisite incantations.

However, even though they were both at the late Profound realm, they failed to spot any anomalies in the crater.

“Under the bottom of the crater!” Dong Li grew very nervous as she lowered her voice and added, “It’s said that Zhao Shanling is currently at the early Soul realm. If it’s really him down there, we...”
