Chapter 705: Enmity (1/2)

Sitting on the fire bird’s back, Nie Tian shook his right arm, grimacing in pain.

The fierce flame power the girl had unleashed had almost blackened his whole arm. Fiery sparks sputtered off his arm as he shook it.

He examined the girl in front of him carefully with his soul awareness, and determined that she was at the middle Worldly realm.

Then, he examined her with his flesh aura, which contained his bloodline power, and realized that she was only about twenty years old.

Twenty years old... middle Worldly realm... Such advancing speed was simply shocking.

Before her, the person whose advancing speed had shocked him the most was Mu Biqiong, the Holy Daughter of the Bliss Mountain Sect.

He had met Mu Biqiong upon coming out of Master Voidspirit’s personal realm. She had been in her early twenties and at the early Worldly realm.

Back then, both he and Zhao Shanling had been shocked by the speed at which she made advances in her cultivation.

There wasn’t a single talented youngster in the Domain of the Falling Stars who could enter the early Worldly realm in their early twenties.

Compared to Mu Biqiong, the girl before him seemed a couple of years younger. Yet she was at the middle Worldly realm. How could he not be shocked?

Furthermore, the girl’s attacks contained terrifying flame power, which had burned his right arm and inflicted a lot of pain on him. He was still suffering from it.

He had realized from the beginning that she was from the Divine Flame Sect, and thus didn’t bring out his full power.

Meanwhile, he could also tell that the girl hadn’t attempted to kill him with her whip strikes and the flaming net magic. She had only gone for capturing him.

Even so, he had suffered injuries, which was enough proof of the girl’s formidable strength.

Eyes slightly narrowed, he examined the girl from behind.

Even though she was small, she was very curvaceous. Her bosoms were so full that her garments almost couldn’t contain them. Her slightly red cheeks were like ripe peaches that made people want to take a bite.

In general, her beauty could even match Dong Li’s.

While he was sizing the girl up, the girl turned her head and gave him a cold, disgusted gaze.

Her name was Qiao Yunxi. As a chosen disciple of the Divine Flame Sect, she enjoyed a lofty status in the Divine Flame Sect.

This time, Yue Yanxi had only instructed her to wait for Nie Tian on that meteor, along with a group of other Divine Flame Sect disciples, but hadn’t told her about Nie Tian’s status.

She only knew that a man named Nie Tian would soon arrive through the secret teleportation portal that had been set up by the Lei Clan.

However, she knew nothing about their discovery of the Domain of the Falling Stars and the relationship between Nie Tian and the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

She had waited for months on that meteor with those Divine Flame Sect disciples.

The fact that Nie Tian hadn’t appeared after such a long time had already disgruntled her. Who would have thought that people from the Bliss Mountain Sect would later show up and kill everyone except her?

Her survival was, to a large extent, because those Divine Flame Sect disciples had given their own lives to buy her time to escape.

Other than that, her special air-transportation spiritual tool had been of great help.

Her air-transportation spiritual tool was forged from the skeleton of an eighth grade Vermilion Bird, which was a powerful fire-attributed spirit beast. Its battle prowess had been equal to that of a Void domain expert when it had been alive.

Therefore, even dead and forged into an air-transportation spiritual tool, it could fly at a shockingly high speed.

Thanks to its high speed, she had managed to escape from the Bliss Mountain Sect pursuers.

She had only circled back because she had been determined to finish the mission she had been charged with.

In her eyes, this Nie Tian person, who had an unknown origin but was greatly valued by the grand elder, was the reason why all her friends were dead.

If he had come earlier, she and her friends would have long since taken him and left that place.

Therefore, her expression was very unpleasant as she looked over her shoulder at Nie Tian.

“What are you looking at?” Qiao Yunxi asked coldly.

Nie Tian put a smile on his face and answered, “Nothing. What happened back there? Why were so many of your people killed?”

“Wasn’t it all because of you?!” Qiao Yunxi blurted, gritting her teeth. “If you had come earlier, we wouldn’t have been attacked by that bitch from the Bliss Mountain Sect! They all died because we had to wait for you there.” Grief filled her eyes as she said these words.
