Chapter 626: I Wont Even Lend It to Him!

In a remote corner of the Realm of a Hundred Battles.

The corpse of the last seventh grade outsider was being burned by blazing flames over a lake.

Underneath the seventh grade Fiend, numerous dead fish could be seen floating on the surface of the lake. There were also many dead low-grade spirit beasts around the lake. Some had even been reduced to pools of blood.

Faint, deadly smoke filled this area, corroding heaven and earth.

Zhao Shanling, Hua Mu, Dong Wangling, and the others had formed a circle around the seventh grade Fiend and watched him being gradually burned to ashes.

The corpses of the other seventh grade outsiders they had killed were floating beside them. Apparently, they had kept their corpses after killing them.

Not counting the seventh grade outsiders’ storage rings, just their bones alone had many uses.

The seventh grade Fiend was the only one that none of the human experts dared to take.

That was because every inch of the Fiend contained deadly toxins. Even the toxic smoke that had leaked from his pores before he had been killed had poisoned the fish in the lake.

When he had sustained injuries, his blood had touched some nearby low-grade spirit beasts. Those spirit beasts were instantly reduced to pools of blood.

Hua Mu and the other experts had all agreed that they must not keep this Fiend’s body, and thus decided to burn it away with all sorts of fire-attributed materials.

Only after they watched the Fiend’s body burn to ashes did they feel relaxed.

“I don’t want his storage ring, do you?” Qian Buhui from the Pill Pavilion Sect said with curled lips. “Perhaps only people from the Poison Sect would be interested in his possessions.”

At this point, the outsider invaders had finally been wiped out.

With Zhao Shanling, who was an expert in spatial magics, on the team, the Soul realm experts had located and slaughtered the fleeing outsider experts one by one without much effort.

Now, it was time to split the spoils.

“I can take that Fiend’s storage ring back to the Spirit Condor,” Hua Mu said. “But I don’t think it’s time for us to split the spoils. Instead, we might want to think about our next move.”

Even Qin Yan had received word of the current situation from the Spirit Condor’s headquarters. It was only natural that Hua Mu had a thorough understanding of the current situation.

From him, these Soul realm experts had long since learned that the outsider forces had already pulled out of the other realms and gathered outside the Heaven Palace Sect.

They also knew that the Heaven Palace Sect had demanded that they go help defend their sect.

“Word has come that Xia Yi has entered the late Soul realm,” Hua Mu said, his eyes narrowed. “Xia Yi has said that he’s willing to go contend against Basto, the outsider commander. Basto is at the late seventh grade. If we’re considering fighting him one on one, Xia Yi is probably the only one who can.

“However, he insists that only if Nie Tian gives him the Flame Dragon Armor will he be strong enough to fight Basto.

“Many sects, including the Heaven Palace Sect, the Poison Sect, the Heaven Expanse Sect, the Thunder Mountain Sect, and the Spirit God Sect, have stated that Nie Tian should put the general interest first, and give that Spirit Channeling grade treasure back to Xia Yi.

“Meanwhile, Li Muyang and a few others have suggested that Nie Tian should let Xia Yi borrow it for the time being, and Xia Yi should return it to Nie Tian after the war is over.

“To this point, a mutual understanding hasn’t been reached.

“It seems to me that, aside from Brother Zhao, the rest of us will all want to support Nie Tian. So what are your opinions on this matter?”

Hua Mu wasn’t sure what kind of relationship Nie Tian had with Zhao Shanling, but he knew that Nie Tian had put himself in great danger by coming to the Realm of a Hundred Battles, so the local forces would probably stand by Nie Tian in his time of need.

As one of the Spirit Condor’s potentates, he was very close to Nie Tian, so the Spirit Condor would naturally stand by Nie Tian as well.

As for the Ice Pavilion Sect, it was because of Nie Tian that Xuan Ke had made it back from that other dimension. If there were no mishaps, they would choose to support Nie Tian as well.

Zong Zheng, the patriarch of the Ice Pavilion Sect, was the first to state his opinion. “Together, we can pressure Xia Yi into agreeing that he’ll only borrow the Flame Dragon Armor for now and that he’ll return it to Nie Tian after the war is over. He has just entered the late Soul realm. It’s true that he’ll need an agreeable fire-attributed spiritual tool to defeat Basto.

“And the Flame Dragon Armor will be the ideal spiritual tool.

“This battle will determine the life or death of the entire Domain of the Falling Stars. So I think it’s acceptable that he borrow the Flame Dragon Armor for now. I know it’s too much to ask if he demands that Nie Tian give it to him.”

Qian Buhui nodded. “I think so too.”

The others nodded one after another, agreeing that this was a fair and reasonable solution.

Only Zhao Shanling smiled and said, “I doubt that you lot can decide for Nie Tian.”

Everyone was taken aback.

Zhao Shanling then created a spatial rift that led to the Dong Clan.

“I’m curious what Nie Tian will have to say,” Zhao Shanling said with a meaningful look on his face. “My senior martial brother gave in to me to save the countless lives in the Domain of the Falling Stars from this calamity. However, if he let himself bound by no scruples, he could have sent the Tool Sect disciples into those fiery realms and ignored my demand.
