Chapter 576: Temporary Peace
Feng Ying had sustained most of her injuries from Zhang Jiu and Lu Jian.
Residual toxins and the discarnate soul’s bleak power still lingered inside of her.
At this moment, they were quietly corroding Feng Ying’s flesh bit by bit.
The Spirit God Sect secret magics Lu Jian had used contained bizarre, decaying power, which was stopping Feng Ying, who practiced wood-attributed incantations, from drawing wood power from her spiritual sea to heal her injuries.
Besides, since Feng Ying had consumed too much power running and battling, her vortex of wood power was almost drained.
Therefore, she could do nothing to stop the two destructive forces from causing her more and more internal damage.
“Residual power from a discarnate soul...” After a brief moment of pondering, Nie Tian channeled a bit of his soul power into Feng Ying’s body.
The residual power from the discarnate soul seemed very restless inside of Feng Ying, as it kept surging up towards Feng Ying’s neck in an attempt to rush through her neck to ravage her soul.
However, the wisps of Nie Tian’s soul power eliminated the residual power from the discarnate soul soon after they flowed to her neck.
Immediately afterwards, he practiced Heavenly Wood Heal to drive out the residual toxins Zhang Jiu had left inside of her with his extremely rich wood power.
Within a very short time, the two types of harmful forces inside Feng Ying were completely neutralized.
Nie Tian withdrew his hand and said plainly, “Alright, all you need to do now is recover your wood power with wood-attributed spiritual materials and heal your external injuries with your wood-attributed incantations.”
Feng Ying, who had seemed to be in great pain moments ago, now seemed very enlivened. Even though her aura was still weak, it was gradually growing stronger and stronger.
Although she didn’t understand how Nie Tian had done it, she could tell that, after Nie Tian’s treatment, she had become much better.
Feng Ying smiled heartily, her adorable eyes glittering with gratefulness. “Many thanks, Big Brother Nie. I knew that, with you here, those bad people from the Heaven Palace Sect would never have their way.”
After a brief pause, a grieved expression appeared on her face. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Unfortunately, the other sisters didn’t hang on till your arrival.”
“Don’t worry,” Nie Tian said in a low voice. “Those people will pay for their crimes.”
Feng Ying sighed. “But… I wonder if we’ll be able to make it back to the Domain of the Falling Stars. None of us knew that we’d run into outsiders here before we came. Even if we somehow manage to get back to the Domain of the Falling Stars, the Heaven Palace Sect, the Flame God Sect, the Poison Sect, the Heaven Expanse Sect, and the Thunder Mountain Sect probably won’t let this slip so easily. I’m afraid that they’ll seek trouble with you.”
Nodding, Qin Yan chimed in, “It’s almost impossible to cover up the fact that we’ve killed Liao Yan, Yu Yang, and the others in here. If we let any of their survivors slip back to the Domain of the Falling Stars, the news will spread.
“By joining up against those forces, we might still manage to ride this one out. But you... you’re not a disciple of a powerful sect. Plus, the Heaven Palace Sect and the Flame God Sect already consider you their most wanted enemy. They’ll stop at nothing to find you once you go back. You’ve got to make sure that you don’t expose yourself after returning to the Domain of the Falling Stars.”
She started to look very embarrassed as she continued, “I shouldn’t have revealed your true identity back when we were in the colorful band. It wouldn’t have been this troublesome if they didn’t know about it... But, you know, I was certain that I was going to die. That was why I did such a distasteful thing. I hope you can accept my sincerest apologies.”
Nie Tian took a deep look at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, “That’s all in the past. As for the future, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.” Then, he turned his eyes away from her and added, “But as far as I see it, Su Lin, Yang Kan, and the others won’t be leaving here. None of them will get to return to the Domain of the Falling Stars alive. Even if they do, I don’t care what the Heaven Palace Sect and the Flame God Sect attempt to do to me.”
Ever since he had learned from Armes that he was a Son of the Stars, he had become even more sure of himself.
According to Armes, after breaking through into the Worldly realm and refining the second fragmentary star mark, he would probably be able to find the key to walk out of the Domain of the Falling Stars into an even vaster heaven and earth.
The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace was a formidable force in the starry river. Compared to it, the Heaven Palace Sect and the Flame God Sect, which hadn’t produced a single Void domain expert, were nothing but a couple of puny insects.
Once he got in contact with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, none of the so-called powerful sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars would dare to make any moves against him.
All of this depended on whether he was able to enter the Worldly realm and refine the second fragmentary star mark in the near future.
“Big Brother Nie, can you help Senior Martial Sister Qin?” Feng Ying asked, looking concerned.
Seeing that Nie Tian had helped her stabilize her injuries so effortlessly, she assumed he could do the same to Qin Yan, who had also suffered serious injuries.
With a quick glance at Qin Yan, Nie Tian said with a faint smile, “She’ll be fine. She’s got plenty of valuable medicinal pills.”
He had long since sensed that a powerful medicinal pill had been releasing copious life force to every corner of her body from her stomach.
“Indeed, I’ll be fine,” Qin Yan said.
