Chapter 504: Intimacy
Nie Tian took out the Sound Stone Dong Li had given him, held it out to her, and said with a innocent expression, “This is clearly a misunderstanding. I have this Sound Stone on me now. See?”
Dong Li reached out her hand and said fiercely, “Let me take a look at it!”
Nie Tian tossed it to her.
As soon as Dong Li caught it, a wisp of dark spiritual aura flew into the Sound Stone. After confirming that the Sound Stone was the one Dong Baijie had given Nie Tian, the anger on her face gradually faded.
“Why are our Sound Stones not interacting with each other...?” Confused, she handed the Sound Stone back to Nie Tian.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “There’s something strange about this continent. It seems that no Sound Stone can work here. Those Poison Sect disciples encountered the same problems with their Sound Stones earlier.”
“So that’s how it is.” The cold expression was erased from the corner of Dong Li’s mouth as she gave a soft chuckle. “It seems that I wronged you.”
“Yeah, you did,” Nie Tian said, looking displeased.
“Alright, alright, it’s my bad.” Dong Li didn’t want to dwell further on the matter, and asked, “How come you and Pei Qiqi are here by yourselves? Where are the others from the Tool Sect?”
Dong Baijie and Qin Yan also gazed at Nie Tian curiously.
“We were played by people from the Spirit God Sect.” Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian went on to briefly explain what had happened to the Tool Sect.
After hearing his narration, Dong Baijie let out a sigh and said, “Because of Zhao Shanling’s return, many aren’t too optimistic about the Tool Sect’s future. In the eyes of the Spirit God Sect, the Tool Sect will sooner or later fall into Zhao Shanling’s hands. And apparently, it would take a lot more than the fickle friendship between Yao Shou and Master Zhen for the Spirit God Sect to truly team up with the Tool Sect.”
“Whatever. What happened to them doesn’t concern us.” Dong Li sounded indifferent. With a faint smile, she turned to Nie Tian and said, “Even if those from the Tool Sect are still alive, their operation in this dimension will be full of obstacles. You might as well stop hanging out with Pei Qiqi and join the team from the Realm of a Hundred Battles.”
She took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
She inwardly rejoiced that the Tool Sect had fallen victim to the Spirit God Sect’s scheme and betrayal.
With all seriousness, Dong Baijie said, “The truth is that the Tool Sect won’t be able to protect you anymore. Wandering around alone in this dimension, you and Pei Qiqi may run into powerful experts from the other sects at any moment, which will be very dangerous. I strongly suggest that you travel with us, Nie Tian. This will, to a great extent, ensure your safety.”
Seeing Dong Baijie and Dong Li’s persuasion, Qin Yan pursed her lips into a smile, blinked a few times, and said, “Certain people stamped with fury after learning via her Sound Stone that you chose to go with Pei Qiqi and the Tool Sect. She vented her anger on Gu Haofeng by letting loose a stream of abuse against him when he did nothing wrong.”
Dong Li was shamed into anger. “You, shut up!!”
Despite the fact that she was already such a beauty, now that her cheeks was slightly flushed with anger and embarrassment, she was even more stunningly beautiful.
After a moment of silence, Nie Tian said, “I need to get Senior Martial Sister Pei’s opinion. We’ll either travel with you together, or go on traveling alone.”
“She’s welcome to join us,” Qin Yan said casually. “Master Zhen and my great grandfather are close friends. If he learned about the Tool Sect’s current situation, he would have demanded that Pei Qiqi travel with us.”
Dong Li snorted coldly. “I don’t like that ice-cold woman.”
Dong Baijie let out a chuckle and said to Nie Tian, “You guys go ahead and talk. I’ll go inform our seniors of the situation here so that they won’t worry about us.”
With these words, he sped away under Dong Li’s gaze.
At that very moment, Jin Lin’s miserable shriek rang out from somewhere near the edge of the floating continent.
Dong Baijie shuddered slightly, and then marveled, “That woman is quite a fighter.”
He couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that Pei Qiqi, whose cultivation base was lower than Jin Lin’s, had managed to kill Jin Lin within such a short time.
Qin Yan’s expression also flickered upon hearing Jin Lin’s last agonized shriek before death.
Like a butterfly flying among flowers, she flashed about to examine the scattered dead Poison Sect disciples.
Then, she flashed back to Dong Li’s side, looked deeply at Nie Tian, and asked, “Did just the two of you manage to kill all these Poison Sect disciples? And it seems to me that most of them were at the middle Greater Heaven stage.”
“That’s all thanks to Senior Martial Sister Pei,” Nie Tian said.
Qin Yan shook her head as her expression grew serious. “You can’t fool me. Those who died at Pei Qiqi’s hands still have the residual aura of her spatial blades on them. But those who died at her hands aren’t as many as those who died at yours. You’re only at the early Greater Heaven stage, yet you were able to killed so many Qi warriors with superior cultivation bases. I’ve got to say, as the successor chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, you’re truly special.”
