Chapter 480: Six Spatial Rifts

The appearance of Lei Yao and her open robbery of the Blood Skull made everyone in Shatter City worry about their safety.

After that incident, the Blood Skull finally lost the last remaining stateliness they had spent so long to establish. More and more brawls and killings took place inside the city. Screams could be heard everywhere.

Many cultivators with low cultivation bases felt insecure and anxious all day long, seeing that the teleportation portal, which they had planned to use to flee the Realm of Split Void, was gone.

Without that teleportation portal, people from the other realms weren’t able to enter the city and those in the city weren’t able to leave.

That caused bloody battles to take place around the clock over the following few days. Blood-curdling screams could be heard day and night.

As people’s minds were gradually taken up by desperation, they started to give in to their dark side.

One day, Hu Rong from the Spirit Condor came over to Zhen Huilan’s residence and stated that Zhen Huilan had asked him to take Nie Tian, Li Ye, and Pei Qiqi to a special location.

Therefore, the three of them followed Hu Rong to one of the Spirit Condor’s secret locations in Shatter City, which was a dilapidated residence on a old block.

As soon as they stepped through the door, Cai Yuan, the young lord of the Blood Skull, exclaimed, with Cai Yue standing beside him, “Qiqi!”

“Why are you here?” Pei Qiqi asked, curious.

Just as Cai Yuan was about to answer her, he noticed that a stranger had come with her and Li Ye.

Cai Yuan failed to recognize Nie Tian with his mask on.

“Okay, everyone is here now.” Standing in the middle of the room, Hu Rong cleared his throat before squatting down and placing his hand on the smooth stone floor.

As he did, the floor split into a narrow stone path. Pointing down at it, he beckoned for everyone to go down with him.

They formed a line and went down the stone path. At the end of the path, they found a small room, where a small teleportation portal in the middle was glowing with misty, white light.

Cai Yuan’s face instantly dropped as he stared Hu Rong in the eye and exclaimed, “There’s a teleportation portal here! How dare you set up a private teleportation portal here without our authorization?”

“Calm down, young lord. Your father knows about this teleportation portal,” Hu Rong said with a smile. “We received your father’s permission, and so we didn’t break any rules.”

“How would my father give you permission to do this?!” Cai Yuan didn’t quite believe him.

“Hahaha, well, you’ll be able to ask him yourself shortly.” Hu Rong didn’t explain the details. Pointing at Cai Yuan, Cai Yue, and Li Ye, he said, “This teleportation portal can only teleport three people at a time. The three of you shall get in first.”

“Where are we going?” Li Ye and Cai Yuan asked simultaneously.

“The Void Illusion Mountain Range, of course,” Hu Rong answered with a smile. “Since the Thunder Mountain Sect has taken away the Blood Skull’s teleportation portal, you can only go through this small one.Young Lord, your father knows that Shatter City is no longer safe for you. Since he’s currently in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, he naturally wants you to go to his side.”

Cai Yuan and Cai Yue’s expressions grew grim, bereft of the invincible spirit they usually had.

Recently, the brother-sister pair had personally witnessed what had happened to the Blood Skull’s reign.

Worldly realm and Profound realm experts had acted unruly under their watch, yet there was nothing the Blood Skull could do to stop them. A few days ago, Lei Yao robbing them of their teleportation portal had come as another great shock to them.

“Li Ye, your master is also in the Void Illusion Mountain Range now,” Hu Rong said. “She asked me to send you there as well.”

“Okay.” Li Ye nodded as he walked into the small teleportation portal.

Cai Yuan and Cai Yue also stepped into it without much hesitation.

“Safe travels.” As Hu Rong activated the spell formation, the small teleportation portal was instantly enveloped by blinding spiritual light. In the next moment, the three of them vanished from within the portal.

“Their destination isn’t the Void Illusion Mountain Range!” Pei Qiqi suddenly exclaimed, her Ethereal Swords flashing into appearance.

As an expert of spatial magics, she had noticed the anomaly as soon as the portal was activated.

The intensity of the spatial energy fluctuations created during domestic teleportations was different from that of the spatial energy fluctuations created during inter-realm teleportations. Even though Hu Rong had told them that Li Ye and the others were going to the Void Illusion Mountain Range, she had sensed violent fluctuations which only inter-realm teleportations would create.

“Please calm down, Miss Pei!” Hu Rong hastily stopped her. “That was for their own good. It was Cai Lan and your master’s will that I send them out of the Realm of Split Void!”

Pei Qiqi glared directly at him. “Why should I believe you?”
