Chapter 733: Splitting Up (1/2)

The Flame Bird came to a stop next to the Star Boat.

The girls leapt off of the Flame Bird and landed lightly in the Star Boat.

Eyes fixed on the Star Stones that covered the bottom of the Star Boat, Yin Yanan’s expression flickered as she said, “This air-transportation spiritual tool actually runs on Star Stones! Does that mean this guy has something to do with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”

“He does practice star power!” Qiao Yunxi chimed in.

She had traveled with Nie Tian for some time and sensed star power on him on several occasions.

Earlier, when Nie Tian had activated Primal Chaos, she had noticed sparks of starlight in it, along with many other types of power.

It was just that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace wasn’t the only sect in this universe to practice star power.

Several minor sects had also found ways to channel star power and created star power incantations.

However, their understanding of star power lagged far behind the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and their influence wasn’t even worth mentioning when compared to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

She had thought Nie Tian to be from one of those sects.

However, the Star Boat...

This air-transportation spiritual tool was indeed more advanced than her Flame Bird. Besides, Nie Tian had Spirit-channeling grade spiritual tools like the Flame Dragon Armor and powerful puppets like the Bone Blood Demon in his possession.

All of these indicated that Nie Tian had a powerful background. Adding in Yue Yanxi’s reminder, she had to connect Nie Tian to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace now.

Yin Yanan gasped with astonishment. “Don’t tell me that he’s actually from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!”

“That’s actually quite likely,” Qiao Yunxi said.

“Then why didn’t he say so?!” Yin Yanan said angrily. “If he had stated his identity back when we were at that lake, Senior Hong, Wei Yun, and Chu Xuanji wouldn’t have treated him like that!”

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s name alone inspired awe throughout the starry river. The sects in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries were far weaker.

Those experts probably wouldn’t have dared to touch him if they had known who he was.

A sense of frustration rapidly filled Yin Yanan’s heart as a train of thoughts entered her mind. “If he’s really from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, my sect won’t be able to do anything to him even though he’s killed Senior Hong and many others... Not to mention that he had an excuse to do so. After all, Senior Hong and the others demanded soul crystals from him first.”

“Let’s drop that matter for now,” Qiao Yunxi said with knitted brow. “That Phantasm soul is attacking him now. What do we do? Once he’s possessed, you and I will also be in trouble.”

Yin Yanan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she grunted, “You should know what will happen if we try to help him.”

With a bitter expression, Qiao Yunxi said, “Of course I do. However, I believe we can avoid the situation from last time if we can withdraw our soul awareness from his mind quickly enough.”

After hesitating for a long time, Yin Yanan laid her eyes on Nie Tian, whose face was twisted, as he seemed to be having a hard time handling the Phantasm soul’s attacks. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, let’s help one last time!”

The girls once again sent their soul awareness into Nie Tian’s sea of awareness to help him defend against the Phantasm soul’s invasion.

As soon as their soul awareness entered, they saw the Phantasm soul storming Nie Tian’s sea of awareness with all kinds of profound soul magics.

A misty ward was shining brightly as it protected Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.

Without any hesitation, the girls’ soul awareness started attacking the Phantasm soul, but they also spared some attention to observe Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.

They vaguely saw nine clusters of dazzling light at the center of Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.

It seemed that Nie Tian was relying on them to defend his sea of awareness against the Phantasm soul’s waves of fierce attacks.

They sensed an everlasting aura from within the clusters of dazzling light, which strengthened their conviction: Nie Tian had something to do with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

Since they only knew that experts from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had visited the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries a very long time ago, and they didn’t know much about the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, they didn’t know what those clusters of dazzling light were.

“He is from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!!” Exclaiming inwardly, the girls did everything within their power to help Nie Tian fight the Phantasm soul.

The Frost Blood Python’s soul power split into countless wisps of aura that morphed into Frost Pythons and Blood Stripe Pythons, which became the main force to contend against the Phantasm soul.

Shortly after they joined the battle, this battle between souls once again ended in the Phantasm soul’s retreat.
