Chapter 550: The Unique Nie Tian

Dong Li’s bright eyes glittered as the tips of her brows rose. She was clearly very pleased by the situation.

She secretly glanced over the crowd, realizing that these chosen ones from the most powerful sects throughout the Domain of the Falling Stars had all inwardly acknowledged Nie Tian’s strength and started to respect him.

As noble as Su Lin was, she hadn’t been acknowledged by the crowd because of her unimpressive cultivation base. They only acknowledged Nie Tian, who had repeatedly proven his unmatched strength.

After all, all of these so-called future stars in the Domain of the Falling Stars had directly or indirectly suffered great losses at Nie Tian’s hands, without any exceptions.

Even though many of them hated Nie Tian deeply, that didn’t diminish their reverence of his terrifying strength. If they were to pick a leader from among them, Nie Tian would be the only candidate these arrogant youngsters could agree upon.

“So? Shall I ask Nie Tian for his opinion?” Dong Li asked with a broad smile on her face.

No one objected.

From the look of it, these chosen ones had indeed attached great importance to Nie Tian’s opinion.

For some reason, their attitude made Dong Li very happy and proud.

Then, she tried to communicate with Nie Tian through her Sound Stone.

Everyone quieted down, their gazes fixed on the Sound Stone she was using to communicate with Nie Tian, anticipating Nie Tian’s suggestion.

After about a minute, Dong Li put her Sound Stone away in a graceful manner, a smile gradually spreading across her face.

Everyone stared at her with inquiring looks in their eyes.

“Well...?” Qin Yan asked the question everyone meant to ask.

With a casual chuckle, Dong Li said, “Nie Tian said that even though there are a lot of outsiders on that island, they’re scattered in different locations right now. As long as we don’t provoke them and make them gather quickly to one place, he’ll be able to sneak up on and kill some of them.

“He said that he’s confident that he’ll be able to take out at least half of the outsiders in the following days.

“We can just recuperate and wait here while he dances around with those outsiders on that island. He’ll inform us of his battle results from time to time.”

As soon as she was finished, a clamor broke out among the crowd.

“He wants to single-handedly kill those outsiders?!”

“He can take out half of them in just a few days?! Did he really say that?”

“Isn’t he afraid that he’ll become their common target and get captured?”

“How is that even possible?!”

“Do we want to trust him?”

Everyone was unprecedentedly loud as they expressed their concerns or doubts.

Almost every one of them had witnessed Nie Tian’s formidable strength, but they still doubted that he would be able to single-handedly take out so many outsiders.

“Don’t tell me that he’s stupid enough to believe that he won’t be discovered after killing those outsiders!”

“What makes him think he’ll be able to keep striking after the outsiders are stirred to action?”

The clamor went on and on. People looked either confused or doubtful.

Dong Li, however, remained silent after relaying Nie Tian’s words. Eyes narrowed, she glanced over the clamoring crowd with a smile, as if she enjoyed them discussing Nie Tian very much. All of a sudden, she cleared her throat.

Everyone turned to look at her.

“I have faith in him.” Dong Li made her stance clear. “To assure you of his capability, I want to tell you a story, a story that embarrasses me every time I think of it.”

Eyes filled with curiosity, everyone fell silent and waited for her to finish.

“Years ago, he used to be my enemy. I gathered many forces, hoping to surround and catch him. At that time, my cultivation base and the cultivation base of almost everyone with me was higher than his.
