Chapter 786: A Decision Made (1/2)

Hua Mu leveled his gaze to look at Nie Tian. Strong killing intent brimming his eyes, he asked, “What do you know about the Thousandsword Mountain Sect?”

The others also threw inquiring gazes towards Nie Tian.

None of them had expected that Nie Tian would be able to tell the identity of the man who had murdered Zhen Huilan with a single glance at the pattern of gashes on her back.

Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian said without holding anything back, “The Thousandsword Mountain Sect is from the Domain of Heaven Python, which is even more powerful than the eight major powers in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. As far as I know, they have Saint domain experts.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone present gasped with astonishment. “Saint domain experts?!”

In their eyes, the five major sects and three major clans in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries were already colossi with overwhelming power.

Even the Lei Clan, which was one of the Divine Flame Sect’s subordinate forces, had early Void domain experts like Lei Tianqi. The most powerful expert the Divine Flame Sect had was at the late Void domain, and they had other Void domain experts like Yue Yanxi.

If the Divine Flame Sect were to invade the Domain of the Falling Stars, considering the battle prowess of the experts in the Domain of the Falling Stars, the Domain of the Falling Stars would fall within days.

The experts in the Domain of the Falling Stars wouldn’t stand a chance fighting any of the eight major powers from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, much less the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, which had Saint domain experts.

Only after a moment of hesitation did Hua Mu say with great determination, “I shall have my revenge even if they have Saint domain experts! I’ll go to whatever place that spatial rift leads to and find out who killed her!”

“We’ll go with you,” Li Muyang and Xing Huanyue chorused.

The couple was very grateful for what Zhen Huilan had done for Li Ye. If she hadn’t taken him into her arms to teach and raise him, Li Ye wouldn’t have become the man he was today. They owed a great deal to her.

Upon hearing that his parents were determined to go, Li Ye’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “I’ll go with you too!”

With irrefutable authority in his eyes, Li Muyang said to Li Ye, “No, you won’t! You’re not like the others. Fighting isn’t your specialty. You just need to focus on equipment forging. Only by doing that will you be able to make the best of your talent and maximize your impact in the wars to come.”

With a loving expression, Xing Huanyue chimed in, “Don’t worry. We’ll find the murderer and avenge your master.”

“But we don’t know whether senior martial sister is still alive not,” Li Ye said urgently. “I need to find her too!”

“We’ll take care of it!” Li Muyang said with a decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron.

“I’ll go with you,” Qi Bailu from the Tool Sect said in a low voice.

Nie Tian pondered in silence for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll go too.”

“You?” Qi Bailu went blank for a moment before saying, “You have other important matters to tend to. You’ll have to be there to take people from the Domain of the Falling Stars to that floating continent.”

“It’s alright.” Nie Tian said with a stern face. “Senior Zhen’s kindness towards me is beyond words. I can’t put my heart at ease if I don’t go. I’ll take the chosen ones to the floating continent in that forbidden region as soon as possible. Then, I’ll return immediately afterwards, and go to that place with you to see what actually happened there.”

Dong Li, who was standing beside him, wished to say something, but stopped on second thought.

She thought that now that they had confirmed that it was people from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect who had killed Zhen Huilan and they had Saint domain experts, it was very unwise to go through that spatial rift at this time.

The wise thing to do would be to seal that spatial rift to keep the powerful experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect from coming to the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Afterwards, the major sects should do their utmost to improve their battle prowess.

When the day came that Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, and the other Soul realm experts entered the Void domain, and they possessed the strength to fight the powerful experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, then they could reopen the spatial rift and seek revenge with the Thousandsword Mountain Sect.

But she also knew that she was only able to look at this matter objectively because she didn’t have any emotional ties with Zhen Huilan or Pei Qiqi.

However, Hua Mu and many of the others had been deeply involved with her. Seeing her body in such a tragic state, how could they maintain their objectivity?

Knowing the emotional bond between Nie Tian and Zhen Huilan, she didn’t try to stop him, even though she believed that the decision they were making wasn’t a wise one.

With his eyes fixed on one of the spatial rifts in the air, Qi Bailu said, “The spatial rift is jammed and inaccessible at the moment. We need someone very skilled in spatial magics to clear it for us. No one understands spatial magics better than my junior martial sister, perhaps except only Zhao Shanling. But now that she’s gone, we’ll have to find someone else to do it.”

An exclamation escaped Nie Tian’s mouth, “Zhao Shanling!?”

Zhao Shanling had been able to seal those six spatial rifts. Now that he had obtained the Voidspirit Pagoda, his strength must have advanced by leaps and bounds. It would be a piece of cake for him to clear the spatial rift that led to the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s territory.

The only problem was that the man had disappeared for a long time, and no one knew his whereabouts.
