Chapter 642: Finding Clues

Lu Yuanxi went on and briefly explained what had happened after he had been possessed by the Heavenly Demonsbane to Hua Mu.

After he was finished, Hua Mu let out a deep sigh and said, “Even though the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace left this heaven and earth thousands of years ago, it was still thanks to their arrangements that we survived this outsider invasion.”

“Exactly,” Lu Yuanxi said bitterly.

After pondering for a few seconds, Hua Mu said, “Brother Lu, I think it’s time that we opened the secret inter-realm teleportation portal we set up in the Realm of Mystic Heaven. The Heaven Palace Sect’s headquarters is in ruins. All of their inter-realm teleportation portals are gone. Since Zhao Shanling has sealed the spatial rift that connects the Realm of Mystic Heaven with the Realm of Split Void, the surviving outsiders are going to flee to remote corners of the Realm of Mystic Heaven.

“We should let those who left earlier return and reap the spoils from our victory.”

“Alright.” Lu Yuanxi nodded and left.

“We’ll talk after this whole thing is over.” Hua Mu smiled at Nie Tian and then shot into the distance, where he went after the surviving seventh grade outsiders with the other Soul realm experts.

Standing on the Bone Blood Demon’s shoulder, Nie Tian glanced down. Fleeing outsiders could be seen in every direction.

He knew that the operation to kill off the remaining outsiders would last some time.

Therefore, with a thought, he commanded the Bone Blood Demon to drain the seventh grade Demon’s corpse of its blood.

Afterwards, more corpses of fifth and sixth grade outsiders that had been killed by falling debris from the ancient starship were drained of their blood by the Bone Blood Demon.

Three days later, the hunt was still going on.

After learning that the humans’ victory in the Realm of Mystic Heaven was certain, and that the Spirit Condor’s secret inter-realm teleportation portal had opened, the Worldly realm and Profound realm cultivators who had returned to their own realms came back to hunt down the fleeing outsiders in every corner of the Realm of Mystic Heaven.

WHOOSH!

Zhao Shanling suddenly flashed to Nie Tian’s side.

“Your timing is perfect, Senior Zhao,” Nie Tian said, smiling. “Would you please send me to the Realm of Split Void?”

“Are you done in the Realm of Mystic Heaven?” Zhao Shanling asked curiously.

Nie Tian nodded. “The result of this battle is already determined, but the cleansing operation might still last months. I don’t intend to take part in it. I’d like to visit the Realm of Split Void and take a look at the situation over there.”

Eyes narrowed, Zhao Shanling said, “I’ve already visited there.”

A surprised expression spread across Nie Tian’s face.

“The outsiders that were garrisoned in the Void Illusion Mountain Range are long gone.” Zhao Shanling told him the truth. “They must have learned of Basto’s death and the fact that the spatial rift that links the Realm of Mystic Heaven and the Realm of Split Void has been sealed.With the numbers they had, they could only return to their own realms. What choice did they have?”

“As far as I see it, those outsiders have suffered great losses from this failed invasion.

“They must not be from powerful outsider clans. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have mobilized so many resources to take a place like the Domain of the Falling Stars. I’m afraid they’ll have to spend centuries to regain their vital energy.

“During this time, you won’t have to worry that more outsiders will set foot on this land that has been painted red by outsider blood.”

Apparently, Zhao Shanling assumed that Nie Tian was going to the Realm of Split Void because he was worried that more powerful outsiders would swarm into it through those six spatial rifts.

Nie Tian shook his head. “You’ve misunderstood, Senior Zhao. I’m not going to the Realm of Split Void because I’m worried that more outsiders will come. I’m going because I want to find out who intentionally revealed the spatial rift that allowed the outsiders to swarm into the Realm of Flame Heaven first.”

Suddenly enlightened, Zhao Shanling laughed and asked, “Oh, so you’re planning to have your revenge now that the crisis is over?”

“That’s right,” Nie Tian said coldly.

“Considering your current fame and power, you do have what it takes to settle that account.” Zhao Shanling pondered briefly and added, “Actually, you should have a feeling about who did it. Only a few sects have plotted against the Realm of Flame Heaven over the years.

“Anyways, I’ll take you to the Realm of Split Void.”

With these words, Zhao Shanling created a spatial rift out of thin air and took Nie Tian to the secret teleportation portal he had set up in the Realm of Mystic Heaven. From there, they teleported directly to the forbidden region in the Realm of Split Void.

After walking out of a portal hidden in a meteor, Nie Tian didn’t rush to action right away. Instead, he closed his eyes and sent a wisp of his awareness towards the depths of the earth.

Moments later, he opened his eyes and sighed in frustration. “I still can’t.”

His awareness once again reached an immense ward of star power in the depths of the earth.
