Chapter 610: Wu Ji
In the Realm of Flame Heaven, a crack appeared at the bottom of a wide river. Inside, a teleportation portal made of Space Spirit Jades appeared.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Three figures appeared in the teleportation portal. They were Nie Tian, Zhao Shanling, and Li Langfeng.
Zhao Shanling grabbed Nie Tian and Li Langfeng by the shoulder and shot right out of the river before they landed smoothly on the ground.
As soon as they did, the crack in the river bottom strangely closed up by itself, as if nothing had happened.
“Where are we?” Nie Tian asked.
“The Realm of Flame Heaven, somewhere in the Ghost Sect’s territory,” Zhao Shanling explained casually. “I’ve set up teleportation portals in every realm in the Domain of the Falling Stars, so I can travel wherever I want whenever I want.”
“No wonder you dared to stay in the Realm of Split Void when the others all left,” Nie Tian said, looking very impressed.
Zhao Shanling’s eyes were filled with arrogance as he said, “Even without these teleportation portals, I can still travel freely across heaven and earth. The most powerful of the outsiders that invaded the Realm of Split Void was still only at the seventh grade, which means they’re roughly as powerful as Soul realm humans. However, none of them are skilled in using spatial magics, so even if they ganged up on me, they wouldn’t be able to catch me.
“My spatial magics would allow me to create spatial rifts at any time, and travel to any part of the Realm of Split Void.
“Given the size of the Realm of Split Void, even if those outsider experts somehow surrounded me, I’d be able to escape if I wanted to.”
Nie Tian nodded, curling his lips. “You’re indeed strong enough to ignore those outsiders. Perhaps you’re the only one who can throughout the entire Domain of the Falling Stars.”
Zhao Shanling had even managed to find his way back after being banished to some space disruption zone in the depths of the starry river.
It was only natural that he could travel freely within any realm by relying on his profound knowledge of spatial power.
Meanwhile, he was a lone wolf, free of all constraints and attachments. Even if he found it difficult to contend against multiple seventh grade outsiders, he would be able to escape whenever he wanted.
Even the outsiders wouldn’t have effective methods to deal with a freak like Zhao Shanling.
Nie Tian then ended his thoughts, and was about to summon the Bone Blood Demon to take him to Black Cloud City as soon as possible.
“Where are you going?” Zhao Shanling asked.
“Black Cloud City,” Nie Tian answered. “My family is there.”
“Wait, I’ll take you there.” With these words, Zhao Shanling once again created a spatial rift before him, and through it, they directly arrived outside Black Cloud City.
“Here,” Zhao Shanling said as the spatial rift behind him rapidly shrank into nothing.
Without any delay, Nie Tian unleashed his Heaven Eyes to learn the situation in the city.
As his nine Heaven Eyes rapidly spread out in all directions, he discovered that the farmlands outside Black Cloud City were desolate. Commoners were trembling behind their doors, not daring to take one step outside of their homes.
Inside the city, many Qi warriors with low cultivation bases had nothing but desperation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the end of their lives.
He didn’t discover a single familiar face in the Nie Clan or the An Clan.
However, what surprised him the most was that there wasn’t a single outsider in Black Cloud City.
“What’s going on? Where are the outsiders?” He thought to himself.
Neither his grandfather, his aunt, nor the few An Clan members he cared about were in Black Cloud City.
Just as he was wondering where they were, Zhao Shanling’s expression flickered, and he exclaimed softly, “Hmm?”
“What is it, Senior Zhao?” Nie Tian asked instantly.
He knew that the detection range of Zhao Shanling’s profound soul power would be much larger than that of his Heaven Eyes’.
“There’s something strange at the back of Cloudsoaring Mountain.” Frowning, Zhao Shanling grabbed Li Langfeng and Nie Tian and sped through the sky.
Since Black Cloud City was rather close to Cloudsoaring Mountain, he didn’t resort to his spatial magics, but flew instead.
Even so, he traveled as fast as a bolt of lightning. He could cover a few dozen kilometers within a second, which was much faster than Nie Tian’s Golden Chariot or the Bone Blood Demon.
Held by Zhao Shanling, Nie Tian looked down, and saw hills and rivers flying past at lightning speed.
It wasn’t very long before Cloudsoaring Mountain entered their sight.
That was when Nie Tian saw numerous outsiders, including Demons, Fiends, Phantasms, Birdmen, and Blackscales, in every corner of the Cloudsoaring Sect and the back of Cloudsoaring Mountain, where his master Wu Ji lived.
Zhao Shanling came to a stop in midair.
Nie Tian looked down with rapt attention, and discovered that the gate of the Cloudsoaring Sect and their grand spell formation had already been breached.
Corpses of Greater Heaven stage and Worldly realm Qi warriors could be seen everywhere, along with a small number of dead outsiders.
Judging from their garments, there were also disciples of the Hell Sect, the Ghost Sect, and the Blood Sect among the dead.
