Chapter 562: Do We Go Save Him?

On the island where the other human Qi warriors were.

A number of thick stone columns stood in a certain formation. Every stone column seemed to contain copious amounts of power, as they were all carved with spirit beasts, plants, or other magical patterns.

Trenches had been dug in certain patterns too, and were now filled with spirit stones.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was also being channeled from the surroundings to this location by the chosen ones in order to accelerate their cultivation.

Dong Li lowered the Sound Stone in her hand, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Upon seeing this, Su Lin, Yang Kan, and the other young leaders gathered towards her.

Her bright eyes shone with fighting spirit as she said, “Nie Tian just told me that we can march over and kill the outsiders on that other island now. He also said that the outsiders on that island aren’t as powerful as we think. He’ll be able to kill a third of them by himself, and maybe even more!

“All we need to do is cooperate with him so that we can crush those outsiders and take that island.”

Xuan Ke from the Ice Pavilion Sect looked rather surprised, but after a moment of silence, he turned around to summon his sectmates.

The eyes of the leaders of the Yin Sect, the Yang Sect, and the Realm of a Hundred Battles also lit up before they turned around to do as they were bid.

“Wait!” Su Lin suddenly stopped everyone, frowning with deep concern. “Why would Nie Tian suddenly change his mind? Didn’t he tell us to hold fast here?”

With these words, she pointed at the defenses they had gone to great lengths to establish. “We set up these defenses with our precious materials so that we’ll be better prepared when the outsiders come to us. Is it wise to abandon all these and fight the outsiders on that other island?”

With a cold laugh, Yang Kan from the Flame God Sect said, “Didn’t that guy say that he’d be able to single-handedly take out half of the outsiders?”

Lu Jian from the Spirit God Sect laughed sarcastically and chimed in, “We don’t even know what’s going on on that island. We can’t just march over there without knowing what we’re getting into.”

“I suggest that we get ahold of the situation over there before we make any decisions,” Yu Yang said with a serious tone.

Dong Li had only delivered Nie Tian’s message, but didn’t know the situation over there. Upon hearing Yu Yang’s words, she hesitated briefly before turning to look at Xuan Ke.

Without saying a word, Xuan Ke summoned his table-sized, crystal-clear piece of ice and placed before everyone.

Afterwards, Dong Li place her Sound Stone at the center of the ice, and told Nie Tian to concentrate on what he was seeing.

Moments later, the crowd saw a very clear image in the large piece of ice that exuded a frosty aura.

It was from Nie Tian’s point of view as he sat in the middle of dark-green ward, around which gathered dozens of outsiders of different races.

Each and every outsider looked extremely excited, their eyes glittering with a fanatical thirst for blood, as if they were hunters who had finally chased down their prey and were ready to claim their rewards.

The image only lasted five seconds before vanishing.

“Nie Tian is surrounded! He must have asked us to rush to his aid because he knew that he’s deep in trouble!” Lu Jian exclaimed, looking stirred and panicked. “The outsiders are clearly in much greater numbers than us!”

Yang Kan gave a cold snort and said, “He knows that he’s surrounded and he won’t be able to survive on his own, so he asked us to go save him.”

With a faint, cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Liao Yan shook his head and said disdainfully, “If we abandon all of the defenses we’ve devoted so much effort to set up, and rush to his aid on that island, we might end up in the same situation as him. Does Nie Tian take us for fools?”

Su Lin from the Heaven Palace Sect remained silent for a few seconds before saying, “I agree. It’s very risky and unwise to go fight the outsiders on that island. As far as I see it, we’d better hold fast here, and wait for those outsiders to come to us. Our spell formations will give us an advantage if we fight them here.”

Yang Kan, Lu Jian, Yu Yang, and Liao Yan all nodded in assent.

In fact, after seeing the actual image of Nie Tian’s predicament, Dong Li was was very worried about his safety. Now, seeing that the Heaven Palace Sect and some other forces were opposed to the idea of leaving for that other island, she felt very upset.

She spent a moment to suppress her anger before turning to Xuan Ke, Ye Qin, and Chen Hao, and asking, “So what do you say?”

Xuan Ke from the Ice Pavilion Sect was the first to express his stance, “I’ll go!”

Ye Qin and Chen Hao didn’t say a word, but nodded vigorously with determined looks in their eyes.

Dong Baijie’s expression was the same as ever as he gave a faint smile and said, “It goes without saying that we from the Realm of a Hundred Battles will go through heaven and hell with Nie Tian.”
