Chapter 794: Martial Brothers! (1/2)

Nie Tian was flabbergasted. “You’re my senior martial brother?!”

He knew that Wu Ji had only taken in a total of three disciples in his whole life, and he was the latest and youngest one.

Wu Ji’s other two disciples had both attracted great attention throughout the Realm of Flame Heaven, but had vanished shortly afterwards and never returned.

According to Chang Sen, Fang Hui, and the others, Wu Ji’s capability as a mentor was unmatched.

If his two other disciples hadn’t left, they would have been among the most powerful forces in the Realm of Flame Heaven.

The fact that Nie Tian had run into a man who claimed to be Wu Ji’s disciple in a place so distant from the Domain of the Falling Stars made him doubt the truthfulness of the man’s words.

However, the man seemed to be very excited to learn Nie Tian’s identity. He even took the initiative to deactivate the ward of magical symbols.

Nie Tian then returned the Star Boat to his ring of holding and flew onto the ancient starship with Hua Mu and the other experts, who were just as puzzled.

The man, who was more than two meters tall and as large as a bear, grinned. Even his clean, white teeth emanated great warmth as he said, “Let’s talk in the cabin.”

A flight of stairs split open from the middle of the deck, and the man took the initiative to walk inside.

Nie Tian and the others followed along.

The inside of the ancient starship was rather spacious. Countless mysterious symbols could be seen engraved on walls made of refined iron, shining like the stars in the sky.

At the same time, rich spiritual power seemed to pour out of the magical symbols, calming and clearing everyone’s minds.

Laughing wildly, the man called out, “Little Rou, my junior martial brother from the Domain of the Falling Stars is here!”

A gentle, small woman, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, then walked out of a room, dressed in a succinct cyan robe and smiling.

She bowed slightly towards Nie Tian and said, “I’m Jing Rou, Shihu’s wife, and I’m from the Divine Seal Sect.”

Nie Tian hastily returned the bow. “I’m Nie Tian!”

Large as a bear, the man put his arms around Nie Tian and said, laughing, “Junior martial brother, my name is Duan Shihu. I left the Domain of the Falling Stars through a secret spatial rift in the Realm of Split Void a few decades ago, and haven’t returned since then. I heard that Xing Bo from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect discovered a group of Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars, and thus came here to see what’s going on.

“Who would have thought I’d be so lucky as to meet you here, junior martial brother?

“Right, how’s master? I had scruples about returning to the Domain of the Falling Stars over these years. For one thing, I couldn’t find a way to return. For another, I was afraid that I would expose the Domain of the Falling Stars and put it in danger by returning.

“I’m an unworthy disciple. I should have gone back to see master long ago.”

The man, who said his name was Duan Shihu, embraced Nie Tian tightly as he vented his emotions, his eyes red and filled with emotions.

Jing Rou gazed lovingly at him, but didn’t say a word.

Nie Tian felt suffocated by the man’s thick arms. Even though the man hadn’t used any spiritual power, his seemingly fat body contained incredibly vigorous flesh power.

With the help of his unique bloodline, Nie Tian shrewdly discovered that this senior martial brother of his carried an unusually profound flesh aura, which seemed to be sealed within countless mysterious magical symbols.

Those magical symbols seemed to lie within his flesh and bones and run through his veins, giving rise to noticeable sounds.

Jing Rou laughed softly and said with a blaming tone, “Shihui, you should know how strong you are. You’re suffocating your junior martial brother...”

Only at this moment did Duan Shihu realize it, and hastily let go of Nie Tian.

Then, he examined Nie Tian with rapt attention. His eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “You... You’re no ordinary person, junior martial brother! I sense raging flesh power in you!”

Eyes narrowed, Jing Rou also fixed Nie Tian with a measuring gaze. She seemed to notice something, but didn’t point it out.

“Give me a second. I’ll get you some tea and food.” With these words, she gave them a gentle smile and walked lightly away.

Moments later, she came back with a few porcelain dishes, which she placed on the table they sat at.

On the dishes were spirit fruits that seemed to be freshly picked, along with exquisitely cut meat and some desserts.

All of them contained copious spiritual power.

Zhao Shanling, Hua Mu, and the others helped themselves to the tasty fruits and food. With a single bite, their eyes lit up.
