Chapter 509: Brawl

As the floating continent continued to crack and sink, all of the people who were stranded on the continent became rattled.

Dong Li’s expression flickered as she watched Qin Yan shoot up into the sky and then bounce back down to the earth.

“What happened, Qin Yan?” Dong Li hastily asked.

“I can’t get out!” Qin Yan raised her hand to point at the void and said very anxiously, “That ward is not only stopping the others from entering, but it’s also stopping me from leaving.”

A shocked expression even appeared on Pei Qiqi’s face as she heard these words.

“My great grandfather and those from your clan are all gathered above there.” Qin Yan sounded increasingly anxious. “But none of them did anything, but instead watched me fall back down. It goes without saying that they must have tried to come down here, but that ward stopped them.”

“Crap...” At this moment, not a smidgen of a smile could be seen on Dong Li’s face anymore.

Qin Yan’s gaze suddenly landed on Nie Tian, who was still sitting quietly in the lotus position, as if his expression wouldn’t flicker in the slightest even under the weight of Mount Tai. She turned to look at Nie Tian and shouted with her stern but charming voice, “He’s the one who uncovered the mysteries of this place and caused these changes. We’ll probably have to rely on him to get out of here!”

She had to admit that Nie Tian seemed to be the only one who would be able to save them.

Dong Li and Pei Qiqi’s gazes followed hers and also landed on Nie Tian.

At this moment, Nie Tian was still sitting unwavering, and the branches before him were still translucent like emeralds and shining with misty light.

His mind seemed to still be wandering in some mysterious realm among the formation of branches before him, completely unaware of the upheaval taking place in reality.

If they forcibly woke Nie Tian at this point, it might disrupt his contemplation, therefore stopping him from obtaining any precious insight from this place.

But if they didn’t, every one of them would fall into the gray mist along with the whole continent. Probably none of them would survive.

Since a Profound realm expert from the Ice Pavilion Sect had entered the boundless mist and never returned, what would their odds be?

While Dong Li and Pei Qiqi wrestled with their dilemmas, the earth under their feet shook harder and harder.

One sky-reaching ancient tree after another fell and sank down as the floating continent gradually shattered.

“Big Sister Qin Yan!”

Feng Ying’s sobbing cry rang out from the distance.

Her slender figure constantly flashed about as she dashed through the cracking ground towards where they were.

After she finally rushed over and caught sight of the seventy-two sparkling branches before Nie Tian, she immediately realized who Qin Yan had been talking about earlier.

“Are you alright?” Qin Yan asked.

Tears brimming from her eyes, Feng Ying shook her head repeatedly. “I can’t get out of here!”

She had recognized the unfavorable situation as soon as she heard the loud rumbles from the earth, and thus tried to leave like Qin Yan had.

She knew perfectly well that some people had entered the dense, gray mist under the floating continent and never come back out, and all of those people had higher cultivation bases than hers.

Hence, she knew that once she fell into the dense, gray mist with the floating continent, her death would be certain.

“Don’t panic. There will be a way for us to get out.” Qin Yan did her best to comfort her. Immediately afterwards, she turned to look at Dong Li and Pei Qiqi and asked with a grim expression, “What are you still waiting for? If we don’t do something soon, and wait till we fall into the depths of that gray mist, none of us will survive! If you’re not going to wake him, I will!”

With these words, the gaze she used to look at Nie Tian gradually changed.

She knew very well that Dong Li and Pei Qiqi wouldn’t want to ruin Nie Tian’s fortune by waking him in the middle of his contemplation.

However, she also knew that everyone on this continent would die if they kept hesitating.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

One glowing spatial blade after another appeared over Qin Yan’s head, every one of them pointing at her.

At the same time, Pei Qiqi stepped forward and stood between Qin Yan and Nie Tian. She stared at Qin Yan and said, the look in her eyes fierce like a sharp blade, “I dare you to make another move.”

“Pei Qiqi! Do you think I’m scared of you!?” Qin Yan shouted furiously.

Off to the side, Feng Ying stood aghast, and then looked blankly at Nie Tian, puzzlement filling her face.

Nie Tian, who was now using the name Mu Han, didn’t seem impressive, and she had never heard of his name before.
