Chapter 792: True Void (1/2)

If Nie Tian were here, he would discover that the thin, young man looked very much like Xing Beichen.

The man’s name was Xing Bo. He and Xing Beichen were indeed related, as he was Xing Beichen’s cousin, and also from the Domain of Heaven Python.

His status in the Thousandsword Mountain Sect was even higher than Xing Beichen’s.

Even though he was younger than Xing Beichen, his cultivation base had already reached the middle Profound realm.

Rather thin and handsome, Xing Bo pointed at the arch of bones at the stern of the wrecked bone starship, and said to Zhong Shishu, “Senior Zhong, those people from the Domain of the Falling Stars seemed to have come here from the burial ground behind that portal. I think we’d better go there and take a look.

“The one we killed earlier broke free from our blockade in there and somehow disappeared right before she died.”

Zhong Shishu nodded. “Mmm… sure.”

He ordered the others to wait for him before entering the arch of bones with just one other expert, the one who had fought the Bone Blood Demon.

Xing Bo then waved into the sky, and a late Soul realm expert from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect flew down to his side.

The two of them followed Zhong Shishu into the arch of bones, and arrived in the burial ground Nie Tian’s group had come from.

Floating in the air, Zhong Shishu gazed off into the distance, and saw skeletons piled into mountains, surrounding open areas that were also filled with bones. Altars of bones could be seen at the hearts of these open areas.

Zhong Shishu’s face grew very grim as he said, “This entire burial ground consists of nothing but human corpses!”

Xing Bo sighed. “It’s hard to believe those Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars would actually work with the Bonebrutes and provide them with such a large number of corpses of their own kind. They don’t even have the most basic principles as human beings!”

Zhong Shishu’s eyes were wreathed in strong killing intent as he said, “Let’s look around and see if we can find out how they came here. These Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars will pay for what they’ve done!”

Xing Bo agreed as he beckoned for the late Soul realm expert who had come with him to start searching for clues.

Facing the human skeletons that stretched as far as the eye could see, Zhong Shishu summoned numerous banners from within his ring of holding.

Burning fiercely, they spread out and flew towards the mountains and seas of skeletons.

Then, the banners unleashed crimson flames that engulfed everything around them.

The skeletons gave rise to crackling sounds as they were set ablaze and soon turned to ashes.

Zhong Shishu muttered in a low voice, “I’m afraid this is all I can do for you now. But I promise you that I’ll catch those who killed you and sent you here, and make them pay for their crime.”

He was truly infuriated by what had been done to these poor souls.

A quarter hour later...

Every skeleton in this burial ground was burned to ashes. Zhong Shishu, Xing Bo, and the others finished searching the burial ground, but failed to find the spatial rift that had vanished.

Eyebrows furrowed, Xing Bo said, “Even with the help of their spatial power spiritual tool, they won’t be able to go very far. I’ll order our disciples to search the vicinity for traces of them. I’ll inform you once I get some clues, Senior Zhong.”

“We’ll try our best to find them too!” Zhong Shishu said, his eyes filled with raging killing intent.

With these words, he left the burial ground.

However, Xing Bo and the Thousandsword Mountain Sect expert with him didn’t leave right away.

Gazing towards the hidden spatial rift from afar, the elder named Gao Han said, “Young lord, that spatial rift must lead to the Domain of the Falling Stars. Now that those people have come here, it means the corpse we sent through into it made it to the Domain of the Falling Stars.

“But you’ve framed the people from the Domain of the Falling Stars, and destroyed this burial ground. Are you sure this is safe?”

With a casual smile, Xing Bo said, “Don’t worry. Everything is under my control. That spatial rift is very special. It will only show itself every once in a rather long time. If we go there now, it’ll raise Zhong Shishu’s suspicions, so we’d better stay put for the time being.”

Gao Han nodded. “Mmm.”

“Leave some Blast Pearls here before we leave,” Xing Bo said. “I want this arch of bones destroyed.”

“Got it.” Gao Han then took out a few curious-looking silver balls and carefully placed them under the arch.

Soon after the two of them disappeared into the portal, the Blast Pearls thrummed with intense spiritual power fluctuations.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As the Blast Pearls exploded one after another, the arch of bones was reduced to pieces.

Now, even if the Golden Vast Sect wanted to come back to conduct another scan, they wouldn’t be able to do so.

Xing Bo and Gao Han briefly searched the wrecked bone starship, and then returned to their own ancient starship.

Xing Bo entered the starship by himself and went to a room that was wreathed in an icy aura.

The room was rather small and had a large piece of crystalline ice in the middle. Pei Qiqi was frozen inside of it.

The frosty aura had infiltrated her entire body, including her dantian region, keeping her from summoning a single shred of spiritual power.

However, fluctuations were still coming from her sea of awareness, as she hadn’t lost her consciousness.

Obsession could be seen in Xing Bo’s eyes as he gazed through the ice at Pei Qiqi. “I’ll have our experts erase your memories after returning to the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s headquarters, but I’ll leave your memories about spatial magics alone.

“You’re truly one of a kind in this world, as you carry a profound space power bloodline.
