Chapter 590: Important News

After watching Ji Qingyun and his subordinates tuck their tails and leave, Qian Qiong from the Ice Pavilion Sect spat, his face filled with disdain, “I can’t believe that a clown like him dared to threaten others.”

Given his cultivation base and status, he had the right to ignore Ji Qingyun, and he wouldn’t need to worry that Ji Qingyun or the Heaven Expanse Sect would retaliate against him.

Standing in the courtyard, Jiang Zhisu and the others from the Realm of Flame Heaven were happy to see Ji Qingyun and his people get what they deserved. However, they were still worried.

It had been a long time since the Heaven Expanse Sect and the Thunder Mountain Sect from the Realm of Earth Sieve had plotted with the other two neighboring realms to take the Realm of Flame Heaven, considering that there wasn’t a single Soul realm expert in the Realm of Flame Heaven.

Lu Ling from the Yin Sect chuckled. “Alright, let’s forget about those vile people from the Heaven Expanse Sect. Nie Tian, we’re here to express our gratitude, but we’re also here to get your opinion on something.”

“I’m all ears, Big Sister Lu,” Nie Tian said, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Lu Ling had been the one who had escorted him out of the Realm of a Thousand Devastations to the Realm of a Hundred Battles after he had finished sealing the spatial rift.

It was she who had put him in Qin Yan’s hands and told her to take care of him. Therefore, he had a rather positive impression of her.

Lu Ling was pleased by his attitude as she said, “Aren’t you sweet?” However, she then grew hesitant as she glanced over the people from the Realm of Flame Heaven. “Umm...”

Apparently, she wanted privacy. At this moment, many experts from the Realm of Flame Heaven were gathered in the courtyard, and she wasn’t sure who Nie Tian could trust.

Jiang Zhisu and the others were all very seasoned and sensible. Upon seeing this, they immediately knew what she meant.

Even though they wanted to stay and find out what they were going to discuss, they figured that they had better leave.

Jiang Zhisu broke the silence by saying with a somewhat forced smile, “Excuse me. There’re still things that require my attention.”

Chang Sen, Fang Hui, Ghost Eye, and the others also realized that Lu Ling didn’t want them to be there when they discussed what must be very important matters, so they found excuses and left one after another.

However, as they did, Nie Tian suddenly said, “Senior Fang, Senior Li, I still have things to discuss with you.”

Li Jing and Fang Hui’s eyes lit up as they came to a stop in front of the courtyard gate.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhisu from the Cloudsoaring Sect sighed inwardly, knowing that Nie Tian must find Li Jing and Fang Hui trustworthy and felt close to them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped the two of them from leaving.

The fact that Nie Tian had asked them to stay, but not him, when the Nie Clan was a subordinate clan of the Cloudsoaring Sect, and Nie Tian’s master was Wu Ji, a member of the Cloudsoaring Sect, indicated how distant he felt towards the Cloudsoaring Sect.

He was well-aware that the reason Nie Tian didn’t have a sense of belonging with the Cloudsoaring Sect was because some of the Cloudsoaring Sect elders had ignored the Nie Clan and mistreated Nie Tian’s grandfather and aunt.

He wouldn’t have felt so frustrated if it were another person, but seeing Nie Tian now...

Jiang Zhisu shook his head and walked out through the courtyard gate with mixed emotions.

Soon, Li Jing, Fang Hui, and the people from the Yin Sect, the Yang Sect, and the Ice Pavilion Sect were the only ones that remained in the courtyard.

Qian Qiong cleared his throat, signaling for the Ice Pavilion Sect disciples other than Xuan Ke to wait outside the courtyard.

Similarly, Lu Ling instructed the Yin Sect disciples other than Ye Qin to step outside, and Kong Hong instructed the Yang Sect disciples other than Chen Hao to leave the courtyard.

Meanwhile, since no one told Hu Rong from the Spirit Condor to leave, he just stood there and smiled at everyone.

Qian Qiong raised his hand, and countless sparkling and crystal-clear bits of ice flew up into the air, forming a frosty ward that covered the entire courtyard.

“Alright, no one in Shatter City can hear us now, since there isn’t a single Soul realm expert in the city.” With these words, Qian Qiong’s expression grew serious. “Xuan Ke told us about what had happened in that new dimension as soon as he came back. After hearing what he said, I instructed the other returned disciples to go into secluded cultivation right away.”

“We did the same with ours, except Ye Qin,” Liu Ling chimed in.

“It’s the same with us,” Kong Hong said. “All those who came back with Chen Hao are not allowed to leave the sect.”

Upon hearing these words, Li Jing and Fang Hui widened their eyes, curious as to what had happened in that dimension and why they had forbidden their disciples to leave their sects.

Nie Tian, however, knew exactly why.
