Chapter 686: The Guardian of the Domain of the Falling Stars

Everyone in Desolate City found it hard to believe how warm and respectful Yue Yanxi was towards Nie Tian.

The Lei brothers headed towards the volcano where they had set up their base as soon as Nie Tian and Yue Yanxi left Desolate City on that bird-like air-transportation spiritual tool.

Since the Spirit God Sect and the Poison Sect had been the first ones to submit to the Lei Clan, all of their disciples had been arranged to stay in their quarters on that volcano.

Xia Yi had come by himself, so there weren’t any Flame God Sect disciples on that volcano or in Desolate City.

At this point, word of the deaths of Xia Yi and the other two hadn’t spread outside of Desolate City yet.

Strong killing intent could be seen in the Lei brothers’ eyes as the two of them flew directly towards the volcano.

A heated discussion burst out among the crowd. Some were overjoyed to see what had happened to Xia Yi and the other two, while others sighed in sorrow.

“Those three sects are doomed.”

“Who would have thought that the grand elder of the Divine Flame Sect would treat Nie Tian this way?”

“This is so ironic. Xia Yi thought he was such a smart guy for seizing the opportunity to take the Flame Dragon Armor from Nie Tian. Who would have thought that the person the three of them killed together was actually the son of the Divine Flame Sect’s sectmaster?”

“Nie Tian is such a lucky man!”

Lei Zhenyu from the Thunder Mountain Sect and Di Ruyun from the Heaven Expanse Sect snuck out of the central square to the Heaven Expanse Sect’s temporary quarters in Desolate City.

With a bitter expression, Lei Zhenyu said, “Brother Di, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to help you. It was just that my hands were tied. I never thought that the grand elder of the Divine Flame Sect would attach such importance to Nie Tian. Even the clanmaster of the Lei Clan didn’t dare to question his decisions. What could I have done?”

Face grim, Di Ruyun said, sagging his head, “What’s done is done. I suppose I can only accept it now.”

Neither Yu Wei nor Ji Qingyun were core members of the Heaven Expanse Sect. Yu Wei was only the granddaughter of one of their elders, while Ji Qingyun was one of their elders.

Their deaths weren’t that hard to swallow. What truly worried him was that Nie Tian might still find fault with the Heaven Expanse Sect.

“I’ll give my apologies to Nie Tian when he’s back,” Di Ruyun said. “I hope that’ll be enough for him let go of this matter.”

With a bitter expression, Lei Zhenyu said, “I’m afraid I’ll also have to behave myself in front of Nie Tian from now on. Originally, Hua Mu gave me the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon and three Spirit Channeling grade treasures in exchange for Nie Tian’s life. There was a thunder-attributed one I liked very much among them. Who would have thought that things would make such an unexpected turn?”

“The Flame God Sect, the Spirit God Sect, and the Poison Sect are doomed,” Di Ruyun said, strong desire filling his eyes. “Their realms will be open for a new owner.”

Lei Zhenyu shook his head. “But I’m afraid that it won’t have anything to do with us whatsoever.”

…

Inside a isolated room, Ling Dong messed up his own hair and bellowed like a trapped beast. “What the hell happened?! How is this possible?! What did that Nie Tian brat rely on to make the grand elder of the Divine Flame Sect so cautious when facing him and so afraid that he would be displeased?”

Ling Dong had always detested Nie Tian. He believed that it was Nie Tian who had stolen the fragmentary star mark that should have belonged to Ning Yang and the Heaven Palace Sect.

Furthermore, he felt offended by the fact that Nie Tian had never showed much respect when facing him.

He had truly hoped to see the Divine Flame Sect strip Nie Tian of his fragmentary star marks and kill him in a brutal manner.

However, he didn’t get what he had hoped for.

Zhao Luofeng let out a deep breath and said, “You need to restrain yourself from speaking against or doing anything that would offend Nie Tian from now on. The arrival of the Divine Flame Sect has turned the situation around completely. Even if our patriarch manages to break through into the Void domain, it won’t change anything.

“Nie Tian’s unparalleled status in the Domain of the Falling Stars is already established, and no one can change that for now. If you still harbor intentions of dealing with him, you’ll only bring trouble to our sect.

“I’ll go meet him after he returns to show him our desire to establish a friendly relationship with him.”

With shock written across his face, Ling Dong exclaimed, “Are you going to give in to him already, sectmaster?!”

“Have you still not seen the reality here? Since Nie Tian has received the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s legacies, he’s already become a crucial member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. Even the Divine Flame Sect doesn’t dare to do anything to him. What makes you think we can?” With a bitter smile, Zhao Luofeng added, “Fortunately, we didn’t make an attempt on Nie Tian’s life. Otherwise, our entire sect would have been wiped out by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace...”

Upon hearing these words, Ling Dong shuddered, not daring to make another counter-statement.
