Chapter 618: Zhao Shanlings Stubbornness

Through Dong Li, the Dong Clan members that were gathered by the teleportation portal learned what had happened in the Realm of Flame Heaven.

Immediately afterward, they fell into a clamor.

“The Realm of Flame Heaven?! Wu Ji?!”

“It’s hard to believe there’s such a figure in a place like the Realm of Flame Heaven!”

“He has actually mastered time power!”

“This master of Nie Tian’s is far beyond ordinary!”

The crowd of Dong Clan members were deeply shaken by the incredible power Wu Ji had displayed, and the fact that Wu Ji had slaughtered two seventh grade outsiders by himself.

Dong Qianqi, the clanmaster, then asked, “If Nie Tian possesses a puppet with middle Soul realm battle prowess, perhaps he’ll be able to help us turn the situation around.”

Dong Tengfei, who had been suggesting evacuation, chimed in, “It seems that a favorable turn has finally appeared!”

Many of the Dong Clan members looked at Dong Li with grateful looks in their eyes.

“You do have an eye for true talent,” Dong Qianqi said to Dong Li, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. “This Nie Tian person is not only the only successor chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, but he also has Wu Ji as his master. On top of that, he’s got a good heart. He must have known what he would face if he came to the Realm of a Hundred Battles, but he came anyways.”

Dong Tengfei sighed with admiration and said, “That young man is indeed beyond ordinary. It’ll be our clan’s fortune if we can maintain a close relationship with him.”

Dong Li bit her lower lip as she listened to the other Dong Clan members praise Nie Tian. Even her eyebrows rose with joy.

She was the reason why Nie Tian had come to the Dong Clan’s aid. It didn’t have much to do with his relationship with the Dong Clan.

She was deeply touched by the fact that Nie Tian had come to the Realm of a Hundred Battles despite all the danger and difficulty when he could have stayed safely in the Realm of Flame Heaven.

With a hearty smile, Dong Qianqi turned to Dong Li and said, “He seems to be rather reliable at crucial moments. If he can help us through this crisis, we’ll stand by him even if he decides to go to war with the Heaven Palace Sect and the Flame God Sect in the future!”

Many of the Dong Clan members seemed relaxed, knowing that Nie Tian had come to their aid with the Bone Blood Demon that possessed middle Soul realm strength.

However, Dong Wangling, the patriarch of the Dong Clan, was still frowning deeply.

He cleared his throat, and the thrilled Dong Clan members instantly fell silent, waiting for him to state his opinion.

Dong Wangling then analyzed, “The Water Moon Chamber of Commerce has already evacuated to the Realm of Endless Ice due to their close relationship with the Spirit Condor. Of the forces that have stayed in the Realm of a Hundred Battles, the Pill Pavilion Sect, the Gu Clan, and the Cao Clan each have one early Soul realm expert. Right now, we’re surrounded by two seventh grade outsiders, one at the early seventh grade, and the other at the middle seventh grade.

“The Pill Pavilion Sect, the Cao Clan, and the Gu Clan are each facing one seventh grade outsider. I’m not sure of their specific grade.

“If we decide to stay and fight the outsiders, we must communicate with the Pill Pavilion Sect, the Cao Clan, and the Gu Clan to make sure we’re on the same page.

“Then, adding that puppet of Nie Tian’s to our side, we might actually win this battle.

“However...”

With these words, Dong Wangling suddenly fell silent. After a short pause, he continued, “Once we step out of our grand spell formation to fight the outsiders to the death, we’ll be facing another problem.”

“What problem?” Dong Tengfei asked with an anxious expression.

Dong Wangling’s expression grew grim as he explained, “The seventh grade outsiders in the other realms might learn of our operation, and rush over unless Zhao Shanling agrees to help us seal the spatial rift that connects the Realm of a Hundred Battles and the Realm of Split Void. Only if Zhao Shanling agrees to help us will we have a chance at winning this battle.”

The crowd of Dong Clan members gasped upon hearing these words. “Zhao Shanling...”

Each and every one of them had a bitter expression on their face.

Everyone had heard of Zhao Shanling’s temperament and knew that it would be very difficult to persuade him to help seal the spatial rift in the Realm of a Hundred Battles.

The fact that the crisis in the Realm of Flame Heaven had been lifted was thanks to Wu Ji’s miraculous performance in battle, as well as the fact that Zhao Shanling had eliminated the possibility for reinforcements.

If Zhao Shanling didn’t cooperate, even if the Dong Clan, the Cao Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Pill Pavilion Sect charged out of their grand spell formations at the same time to fight the outsiders with the Bone Blood Demon’s assistance, their victory wouldn’t be guaranteed.

Dong Wangling took a glance at Dong Li and said, “I’ll communicate with the Cao Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Pill Pavilion Sect to inform them of Nie Tian’s arrival, and see what they think of this plan. You contact Nie Tian and see if he knows where Zhao Shanling is. I want to talk to him and find out what it will take for him to help us.”

“Okay!” Dong Li nodded and did as she was bid.

…

In the depths of cotton-like, thick clouds.

Li Langfeng watched Nie Tian communicate with Dong Li through his Sound Stone.
