Chapter 791: Framed (1/2)
A bitter expression appeared on Hua Mu’s face as he said, “I’m afraid we’re being framed by the Thousandsword Mountain Sect.”
The leader in the golden feather hat had just said that people from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect had informed them that some humans had been secretly providing corpses of their own kind to the Bonebrutes.
Another person had even said that they were from the Domain of the Falling Stars.
Hua Mu pondered the matter a bit more, and realized that people from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect must have thrown Zhen Huilan’s body into that spatial rift to lure them to this place so that they could use them as a scapegoat.
Zhao Shanling and the other experts were all patriarchs who had been around for centuries. Every one of them was seasoned enough to see what was happening.
The moment they heard the people from the Golden Expanse Sect mention the Domain of the Falling Stars, they realized that they had fallen into the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s trap.
BOOM! BOOM!
Pale-gray parts of dead Bonebrutes continued to fall out of the sky.
Gazing up, Xing Huanyue from the Yin Sect shouted, “It’s not what you think! We have nothing to do with the corpses in that burial ground! That’s the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s doing!”
Face filled with disgust, Zhong Shishu, the man in golden feather hat, shouted, “Don’t you sling mud at them! We’re allies. Why would they provide Bonebrutes with human corpses so that they could build burial grounds to facilitate their invasion of our lands?
“You have a Bonebrute standing beside you. How do you have the face to quibble?!”
With these words, a wheel of golden light flew whooshing out of his sleeve.
Like a small sun, it emanated blinding golden light as it pressed down on Nie Tian and the others.
Calm as ever, Zhao Shanling gave a casual smile. “Late Soul realm… Since you refuse to listen to reason, bring it on then!”
WHOOSH!
The Voidspirit Pagoda suddenly flew out from between his eyebrows to meet the wheel of golden light.
The Voidspirit Pagoda, which was originally only the size of a fist, expanded to be dozens of meters high in the blink of an eye.
Countless mysterious glowing patterns could be seen carved on the walls of the Voidspirit Pagoda. As they swam about on the walls like spatial blades, a terrifying, space-twisting aura was born.
Blinding golden light made contact with the silver spatial blades in midair, sending waves of violent fluctuations out in all directions, along with rays of destructive gold and silver light, riddling the nearby dormant volcanoes with holes.
Another powerful expert from the Golden Vast Sect gave a cold harrumph. “This one is at the late Soul realm and skilled in spatial magics!
“According to the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, the woman they killed also practiced spatial incantations!”
Zhong Shishu’s eyes brimmed with anger as he said, “It must be them. We can’t be mistaken!
“Spare that junior’s life. His cultivation base is low enough, so it’ll be easy for us to use soul transmitting techniques on him.”
The junior they were referring to was none other than Nie Tian.
Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, and the others were all at the Soul realm.
Even if they managed to subdue Hua Mu or the others, since their cultivation bases were the same, it would be very troublesome to peel memories from their minds. They might even get themselves in trouble.
Nie Tian, however, was only at the Worldly realm, which made him a much easier target.
Nie Tian smiled coldly. “Want to use soul transmitting techniques on me...”
Clearly, these people from the Golden Vast Sect had been fooled by the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, and were convinced that Nie Tian’s group had colluded with the Bonebrutes. Now, they wouldn’t even listen to reason.
The Golden Vast Sect’s arrogance angered Nie Tian and made him realize that to make them listen to reason, he would have to overtake them in battle.
With these thoughts in mind, he focused his killing intent on another Qi warrior of the Golden Vast Sect who had said a lot. “Go!”
The Bone Blood Demon instantly received his message.
BOOM!!
A pale-gray mist of death rose from the Bone Blood Demon as a unique bloodline talent of the Bonebrutes was activated.
The mist of death soared skywards like a dragon made of thick mist.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
Pale flames could be seen burning inside of it. Instead of burning hot, the flames were icy cold, and exuded the profound truths of death power.
The man from the Golden Stone Sect gasped. “This thing can even activate the Bonebrutes’ bloodline talents!”
Then, he hastily summoned his Spirit Channeling grade treasure.
A mountain peak that shone with dazzling golden light flew out of his palm.
As it rapidly expanded, numerous golden spell formations could be seen covering the entire mountain peak.
At the same time, countless spell formations vested the mountain peak with power that was either solid, heavy, or sharp.
As the shiny golden mountain peak shot directly towards the Bone Blood Demon, the man morphed into a streak of golden light and flew into the ancient starship that was berthed high in the sky.
FZZZ!
