Chapter 486: Screams in the Night
The group of Qi warriors from the Spirit God Sect in the Realm of Dark Underworld found a suitable location in the dense forest and sat down.
Yao Shou was the only one who went to sit beside Zhen Huilan and the other powerful Tool Sect members, and chatted with her every now and then.
Nie Tian and the other Tool Sect juniors watched the Spirit God Sect Qi warriors from afar, not saying a word.
Even the most talkative one among them, Zhu Han, had become completely silent.
It was as if Yao Shou’s attitude had already made him realize that the Tool Sect was no longer respected and revered by the other major powers.
If it weren’t for Zhen Huilan’s former association with Yao Shou, and if Bai Yu weren’t here, those from the Spirit God Sect probably wouldn’t have initiated a talk, but a bloody fight instead.
This night seemed especially long.
Every now and then, Nie Tian would be awoken from his cultivation by bloodcurdling screams in the distance. Since he didn’t dare to unleash his Heaven Eyes, he wasn’t sure what was happening.
However, he was certain that people were being killed.
“The other sects are clearing the mountain range,” Huang Yuan said in a low voice.
Zhu Han kept silent, his face grim.
Wu Ling nodded and said, “Yeah, those sects don’t want any local Qi warrior organizations to be a part of this. So they issued an expelling order earlier, demanding all local Qi warriors leave the mountain range as quickly as possible. Now, the deadline must have arrived. Once they discover any risk-takers that dared to linger in the region, they’ll kill them on site.”
A sense of chilliness rose in Nie Tian’s heart.
As of this moment, he finally realized how overbearing powerful sects like the Spirit God Sect, Flame God Sect, and Poison Sect actually were.
The six spatial rifts had appeared in the Realm of Split Void, yet they came over and kicked the local Qi warriors out of the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
When they found local Qi warriors who failed to leave past the deadline they had given, they killed them on sight.
In their eyes, none of the local Qi warrior organizations, including the Blood Skull, deserved to enter that mysterious dimension with them.
Deep in the night...
A Qi warrior who had lost his left arm suddenly jumped out of the dense forest, crying as he shot towards the spatial rift.
SHEW!
A Qi warrior dressed in Ice Pavilion sect garments shot out of the forest after the man. However, as soon as he looked down and saw people from both the Spirit God Sect and the Tool Sect, he went blank briefly.
“Shi Hui!” Pei Qiqi exclaimed.
Nie Tian looked up, and realized that the Qi warrior who had lost his left arm was none other than the Blood Skull’s former guest elder, Shi Hui.
After breaking away from the Blood Skull, Shi Hui had joined the Wild Fire, and threatened to kill him to avenge Shi Nan.
He hadn’t expected that Shi Hui would end up in such sore straits.
Shi Hui’s entire left side was now covered in frost. He seemed to have great difficulty moving that side.
Even so, his eyes were locked onto the spatial rift, which had still yet to stabilize. Apparently, he wanted to enter it with all of his heart.
Fierce sword intent suddenly burst forth from within him as he shot towards the spatial rift like a flying sword.
His eyes were filled with obsession. Yao Shou, who was sitting under the spatial rift, sighed, shaking his head. “Another foolish gambler.”
Then, he reached out his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air towards Shi Hui.
In the next moment, a dark, mysterious vortex came to form in Yao Shou’s palm.
The vortex thrummed with wave after wave of suffocating soul fluctuations as it shot up into the air and enveloped Shi Hui, who was only one step away from the spatial rift.
Shi Hui held his head with both hands and let out miserable wails, while blood spilled from his increasingly bulging eyes.
His dashing momentum was instantly stopped, and then his saggy body fell to the ground.
A hundred meters away, Nie Tian watched Shi Hui’s body crash to the ground, and could feel that his soul had shattered and dissipated, as if it had been erased by the dark vortex unleashed by Yao Shou.
Seeing that Yao Shou had killed Shi Hui, the Ice Pavilion sect pursuer bowed towards him and said respectfully, “Thank you. As you were.”
With these words, he left with a puzzled heart.
He seemed to wonder why people from the Spirit God Sect were with people from the Tool Sect.
