Chapter 532: An Eighth Grade Black Phoenix!
The aura Nie Tian released gave Xuan Ke a sense of familiarity, a feeling that he had met him somewhere before.
Xuan Ke possessed a shockingly keen sense for danger. The moment he had seen Nie Tian, he had sensed something that had alarmed him.
He didn’t know that Nie Tian had discovered them through one of his Heaven Eyes long before they had discovered him.
What he had sensed that made him feel insecure and uneasy was actually the aura of that Heaven Eye, which Nie Tian had used to determine the cultivation bases of the four of them.
Furthermore, Nie Tian’s extremely intense killing intent made it clear that Nie Tian was full of wrath. Hence, to be safe, he didn’t want to initiate a battle with Nie Tian before he figured out who he was and how powerful he was.
Followed by his three subordinates, he ran after Nie Tian at a controlled speed, wondering what Nie Tian was after.
Meanwhile, Nie Tian saw every move they made through that Heaven Eye of his.
He snorted inwardly and kept dashing forward at full speed, not showing the slightest interest in learning their intentions.
After traveling for quite some time, one of his Heaven Eyes finally located Su Lin a place full of rubble at the foot of that magnificent mountain peak.
She wasn’t alone. Standing beside her were a handful Qi warriors from the Heaven Palace Sect.
This didn’t surprise Nie Tian at all.
What did surprise him was that a gigantic, black phoenix was lying in the midst of the rubble.
Apparently, it was dead. However, it was so huge that its spread black, feathered wings covered a very large area.
“A black phoenix!” Nie Tian’s expression flickered slightly the moment he saw it, for it was almost identical to Dong Li’s black phoenix beast spirit.
The only difference was that this dead black phoenix was noticeably larger.
He instantly reached the conclusion that this black phoenix was of a higher grade than Dong Li’s black phoenix beast spirit.
He also also realized that Su Lin must have been communicating with these Heaven Palace Sect disciples through Sound Stones.
Those people must have discovered this gigantic, black phoenix first, and then informed Su Lin at the first opportunity.
Upon receiving such important information, Su Lin had rushed over at her fastest possible speed, ignoring her search plans with Hong He and Huang Hu.
That was why Su Lin had been able to come to such a distant location within such a short period of time, escaping the detection range of Nie Tian’s Heaven Eyes.
At this moment, Su Lin was discussing something with the other Heaven Palace Sect disciples beside the black phoenix’s enormous corpse.
Meanwhile, a few Thunder Mountain Sect disciples were standing by a huge rock slightly farther from the black phoenix’s corpse, eying the Heaven Palace Sect disciples indignantly.
From the look of it, it was them who had found this black phoenix first.
Later, when the Heaven Palace Sect disciples had come, they had been forced to give it up.
The reason why those Heaven Palace Sect disciples had informed Su Lin at the first moment possible must have been because they had been worried that those from the Thunder Mountain Sect would daringly challenge the Heaven Palace Sect’s authority.
One Heaven Eye after another converged from all directions, and then floated silently around the black phoenix’s corpse.
After noticing the special situation via his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian instantly slowed his dashing pace, and started moving stealthily.
He intended to get a full understanding of the situation with the help of his Heaven Eyes first, then make a move when an opportunity showed itself.
Counting Su Lin, there were a total of five Heaven Palace Sect disciples gathered by the black phoenix’s corpse. The atmosphere was quite still.
One of them examined the black phoenix while the other four silently eyed the few Thunder Mountain Sect disciples, who didn’t show any intention of leaving at all.
Other than Su Lin, the other four Heaven Palace Sect disciples were all at the middle or late Greater Heaven stage.
On the Thunder Mountain Sect’s side, they only had four people, but they were also at either the middle or late Greater Heaven stage.
