Chapter 484: A Gif (2/2)

After hearing her explanation, both Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi understood the reason behind those foreign sects’ decisions.

Zhen Huilan pointed at the portal she had created out of thin air and said, “Alright, let’s go. Nie Tian, your identity is very special, so try not to get exposed. Of course the Tool Sect won’t do anything to you as long as I’m around. However, I’m just afraid that some of them might leak the information, and draw the Heaven Palace Sect’s and the Flame God Sect’s attention.”

Nie Tian nodded. “Okay, I’ll try to be careful.”

Afterwards, the three of them followed each other into the spatial tunnel that led to the depths of the Void Illusion Mountain Range.

In a dense forest...

After flying out of the spatial tunnel, Nie Tian glanced around and found, to his surprise, that this was none other than the forest where Dong Li and her Fang members had ambushed explorers before.

This didn’t seem to be the deepest part of the dense forest. A dozen dead spirit beasts were scattered in the vicinity, which seemed to have been slaughtered by powerful experts from the Tool Sect.

At the same time, he saw Zhu Lian, who he had met once in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, and Bai Yu, who was an elder of the Tool Sect and Wu Ling’s mother.

The late Profound realm Zhu Lian, middle Profound realm Bai Yu, and late Profound realm Zhen Huilan were the most powerful members on the Tool Sect’s team.

There were also seven Worldly realm experts on the team. At this moment, they were gathered in one place and discussing in low voices.

Bai Yu was a rather small woman with a young, graceful appearance. As soon as she saw Zhen Huilan come over with Pei Qiqi and Nie Tian behind her, she asked, “Who’s this, senior martial sister?”

She had thought Zhen Huilan had gone to pick up Pei Qiqi and Li Ye.

“This is Mu Han. He’s the child of an old friend,” Zhen Huilan explained, smiling. “Even though Li Ye’s equipment forging talent is unquestionable, he’s not a fighter. If he came, not only would he not be able to help, but I’d even have to spare my attention to keep an eye on him. So I arranged for him to go somewhere else.”

Bai Yu nodded with a smile. “I see. Okay, why don’t we let the juniors talk and get to know each other? After all, they’ll need to work together and fight side by side after arriving in that dimension.”

Zhen Huilan nodded. “Good idea.”

Then, she turned around and nodded at Pei Qiqi and Nie Tian.

Hence, the two of them walked towards the location where Wu Ling, Huang Yuan, Zhu Han, and four other Tool Sect youngsters were gathered.

Even though those four unfamiliar-looking youngsters didn’t seem to have powerful backgrounds like Wu Ling, Huang Yuan, or Zhu Han, they were all at the late Greater Heaven stage, and their battle prowess appeared to be outstanding. They must be here to assist Wu Ling and the others.

Upon seeing Pei Qiqi, Zhu Han’s eyes instantly lit up.Face full of flattering smiles, he said, “We meet again, Junior Martial Sister Pei. We’ll fight side by side from now on. I’ll have your back in that mysterious dimension.”

“Greetings, Big Sister Pei,” Huang Yuan said with a bright smile.

With an expressionless face, Pei Qiqi walked over with Nie Tian and sat down beside the Tool Sect youngsters. Apparently, she wasn't interested in talking with any of them.

However, Nie Tian’s gaze switched among the dead spirit beasts in the vicinity as they walked towards the Tool Sect youngsters.

He found that they were mostly third and fourth grade spirit beasts, but there was a fifth grade spirit beast among them.

Since all of the spirit beasts in the Realm of Split Void had mutated because of the impure spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, their flesh and blood was completely worthless, and thus they had been left there to rot.

However, their bones, eyes, teeth, and other parts that could be used to forge spiritual tools had all been cut off.

“Spirit beasts...” Nie Tian thought to himself. Even though these spirit beasts’ flesh and blood were completely useless to the others, he could absorb the flesh power that remained in them with Life Drain.

It was just that he was afraid that, if he openly took away the remains of those spirit beasts, the Tool Sect members might suspect his intentions.

Therefore, he was torn with indecision.

At that moment, Wu Ling, who had remained silent the whole time, asked Nie Tian, looking into his eyes, “Have we met before?”

Nie Tian snapped to his senses, took a look at Wu Ling, and said, “I don’t think so.”

Somewhat suspicious, Wu Ling kept staring at him as he searched in his head.

For some reason, as Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi had walked towards them earlier, his attention had been instantly attracted to Nie Tian, instead of Pei Qiqi, who possessed a higher cultivation base and a loftier status.
