Chapter 549: What People Want

“Why is Pei Qiqi here?” Nie Tian was deeply puzzled. Every human Qi warrior, including him, had originally arrived at that other island.

However, for some reason, Pei Qiqi had ended up on this island where the outsiders were gathered.

Even so, it was good news to know that those high-tier Demons were looking for Pei Qiqi.

At least, this proved that Pei Qiqi was still alive.

As long as she was alive and on this island, he would have a good chance to run into her here.

Meanwhile, since those high-tier Demons were all at the fourth grade, he believed that, if he were to sneak up on them, he would probably be able to kill them by himself.

However, he didn’t do it.

After all, he wasn’t sure whether there were other outsiders in the vicinity. Once he made a move against them, he would most likely be exposed. He was worried that other nearby outsiders would come to their friends’ aid.

Therefore, he decided to steer clear of these high-tier Demons and continue to scout with the help of his Heaven Eyes.

Soon, he discovered that there were other groups of Demons scattered around the lake, all of which consisted of several high-tier Demons.

From the look of it, they were all wreathed in intense killing intent while searching for Pei Qiqi.

From their conversations, Nie Tian learned that Pei Qiqi had killed many outsiders on this island, the Demons among them.

Therefore, they became rather scared of her, and only dared to travel in groups.

Furthermore, they had already learned about the human Qi warriors on the other island through the Stonemen that had recently returned. However, they still considered Pei Qiqi the bigger threat, and thus decided to get rid of her before finding an opportunity to kill the humans on the other island.

“I can’t believe that Pei Qiqi has kept so many outsiders occupied by herself!” Nie Tian thought to himself.

His Heaven Eyes slowly floated and searched along the lakeshore, yet failed to discover any signs of her.

After realizing that Pei Qiqi had probably already left this area, Nie Tian stopped searching and headed forward, masking his aura with Life Stealth and completely ignoring the Demons.

Roughly an hour later, he discovered a few groups of Phantasms by a long and winding river.

The Phantasms also seemed to be at the fourth grade, meaning that they were as strong as Greater Heaven stage human Qi warriors.

After spotting the Phantasms, Nie Tian started to move more discreetly. He kept a rather long distance from them, fearing that they might be able to sense his existence.

Most Phantasms were well-versed in soul magics. Even though he had masked his aura of flesh and blood with Life Stealth, the Phantasms would be able to detect him with their unique soul magics if he were to get too close to them.

After a brief observation through his Heaven Eyes, he learned that they were also searching for Pei Qiqi.

As he left the area where the Phantasms were gathered, Nie Tian’s expression grew grim. Even though all the Phantasms and Demons he had come across along his way were only at the fourth grade, together they were in great numbers.

Counting just the ones he had discovered, there were about thirty high-tier Demons and Phantasms, which was already greater than the total number of human Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Not to mention that these were only the Demons and Phantasms.

Back on the move, Nie Tian soon came to a marshland, where he discovered a number of Fiends.

Each and every one of them was wreathed in toxic mists of different colors. Since they absorbed and cultivated different toxins, the toxic mists they released varied.

All of them had dark-green skin and gruesome, green eyes that looked like burning, ghostly flames.

The marshland where the Fiends were gathered also looked very strange.

The water in the marshland was multi-colored, with a multi-colored miasma rising from it.

Not only weren’t the Fiends affected by the miasma as they roamed about in the marshland, but they even breathed deeply, as if they were taking the toxins in intentionally.

Every once in a while, the Fiends would cheer in loud voices as they picked flowers and plants that seemed extremely poisonous from the marshland.

They ate some of them right away, but put others away very carefully, as if they were for pill-making or refining use in the future.

From the look of it, they weren’t trying to look for Pei Qiqi, but were instead focused on searching for poisonous plants and ingredients they could use in the special marshland.

Compared to the Demons and Phantasms he had discovered earlier, they were in smaller numbers.

However, Nie Tian could feel that these Fiends, who released toxic mist even as they spoke, must be very hard to kill.
