Chapter 593: Come to the Stage

Dong Li was the one who attracted the most attention inside the whole Blood Fighting Pit. Her shout instantly pulled the gazes of those swarming before her in Nie Tian’s direction. They eagerly searched for Nie Tian in the crowd.

The few Dong Clan members who were standing beside Dong Li also jerked their heads in Nie Tian’s direction and started searching.

Most of them hadn’t seen Nie Tian in person. However, his name had become more and more well-known among them, especially after the Dong Clan juniors had returned to their clan this time. Those juniors’ eyes had been filled with respect when they had talked about him. Even Dong Li couldn’t mask her happiness whenever his name was mentioned.

This had made these Dong Clan seniors more and more curious.

All of the Dong Clan seniors knew that, even though Dong Li had a bad name, she had actually preserved her moral integrity.

Knowing Dong Li well, they knew that she just liked to trick the so-called talented youngsters who drooled over her beauty. However, whenever she talked about those lechers, her eyes were always filled with disdain and contempt, which was completely different from her happy and beaming expression when she talked about Nie Tian.

Not just her, even Dong Baijie, who the entire Dong Clan spoke highly of, had given an unprecedentedly high opinion of Nie Tian after he had returned from that dimension.

Dong Baijie made an assumption that, if there were no mishaps, Nie Tian would soon become the brightest star that outshone all of the so-called chosen ones throughout the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Some of the Dong Clan seniors might still have doubts about Dong Li’s sense of judgment, but they had been very surprised that Dong Baijie would have such a high opinion of him.

Upon hearing Dong Li calling out to Nie Tian, the Dong Clan members rapidly found Nie Tian in the crowd.

“You go ahead. I still have business to take care of.” With these words, Hu Rong gave Nie Tian a meaningful look, signaling Nie Tian to go to the Dong Clan members before leaving quietly.

Therefore, under everyone’s curious gazes, Nie Tian walked towards the Dong Clan members with a smile on his face.

Li Jing, Fang Hui, and the others followed along.

The bustling crowd suddenly stopped and split up, forming an open path for Nie Tian.

Dong Li, who had applied a bit of makeup, appeared more and more gorgeous as Nie Tian looked at her.

She was wearing close-fitting black garments, which brought out her perfectly-proportioned body.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she stood and waited for Nie Tian before the other Dong Clan members. Her unmatched beauty made her stand out, and attracted almost everyone’s attention.

Even some self-possessed Profound realm experts found it hard to tear their eyes from her.

Even Qin Yan, who was standing not far from her, was overshadowed by her singular beauty.

“Does this whole pile of spiritual materials belong to him, Ms. Dong?” One of the Profound realm experts from the Poison Sect asked, frowning in disbelief.

Dong Li smiled charmingly as she nodded and said, “Exactly, he’s the one I’ve been waiting for.”

The Poison Sect expert named Hou Qingsen had his eyes on an item in the larger pile of spiritual materials before Dong Li. He had proposed to trade or purchase it from her, but Dong Li had shaken her head and told him that she wouldn’t make any decisions before the owner of the spiritual materials arrived.

Considering that, Hou Qingsen could only wait.

There were many more like Hou Qingsen, who had set their minds on items in Nie Tian’s pile of spiritual materials, but had to wait under Dong Li’s instruction.

The Worldly realm and Profound realm experts, who had been gathered before Dong Li for some time, started discussing the matter with each other in low voices, and gradually figured out who Nie Tian was.

“Nie Tian...”

“That name sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before?”

“Nie Tian... Nie Tian... Is he the Nie Tian from the Realm of Flame Heaven?”

“Is he the one who obtained the legacy of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and sealed the three spatial rifts with secret magics?”

“It must be him. Who else could it be?”

Seeing that Dong Li didn’t deny it, but instead nodded smilingly, they all gasped with astonishment.

“So it is him!” Someone exclaimed.

Most of the Qi warriors from the nine realms of the Domain of the Falling Stars hadn’t met Nie Tian in person before, since he had assumed different identities and stayed off the grid to avoid the Flame God Sect and the Heaven Palace Sect.

For the same reason, their knowledge of Nie Tian was basically limited to that he was from the Realm of Flame Heaven, and had risen to prominence after obtaining fragmentary star marks during the Heaven Gate trial and sealing the three major spatial rifts.

In fact, this was the first time Nie Tian had presented himself before powerful experts from all over the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Upon hearing that the person Dong Li had been waiting was the successor chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, many Qi warriors who had been originally gathered before Ye Qin, Qian Xin, Cao Qiushui, and the other chosen ones from the major sects had their interest piqued.

They either quietly gathered towards her, or gazed in her direction from afar.
