Chapter 803: Good News (1/2)

Accidents always happen unexpectedly.

Through Jing Rou’s prism, Nie Tian saw with great clarity that Pei Qiqi was inside that ice crystal.

However, after recovering its original form, the eighth grade ice phoenix disappeared into a spatial rift with the ice crystal and Pei Qiqi.

Duan Shihu and Jing Rou were also dumbstruck, not knowing what to say.

They had made a thorough plan to rescue Pei Qiqi before coming here, including persuading Meng Li to help them and mobilizing the Divine Seal Sect’s chess pieces that they had planted inside the Thousandsword Mountain Sect.

Who would have thought that ice phoenix would somehow sense the existence of that ice crystal that was more than ten thousand years old, and take it away, along with Pei Qiqi?

“Doesn’t the Thousandsword Mountain Sect have some spell formation to stop that ice phoenix from taking that ice crystal?!” Nie Tian called out.

Meng Li let out a weak sigh and said, “Of course they do. It’s just that that ice crystal flew out of Xing Bo’s ancient starship, which wasn’t enveloped by the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s spell formation due to its overly large size. Also, that ice phoenix was at the peak of the eighth grade. Now, she has recovered a significant amount of soul power after gaining those soul crystals from you. It’s indeed unexpected that she would discover that ice crystal and channel it away with her bloodline magic.”

At this moment, Nie Tian saw in the prism that powerful experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect were roaring with anger.

They had all seen which spatial rift the eighth grade ice phoenix had disappeared into, but none of them dared to enter it.

With a bitter expression, Jing Rou said, “That spatial rift probably leads to some realm that belongs to the Ancientbeasts. In all this time, very few Ancientbeasts have come to the Realm of Maelstrom, and we know very little about them. The same goes for the Thousandsword Mountain Sect.

“Since they don’t know what kind of power lies within the realm that spatial rift leads to, it’s only natural that they don’t dare to enter it so rashly.”

“What do you think will happen to Senior Martial Sister Pei now that that eighth grade ice phoenix has her?” Nie Tian asked in a grim voice.

After a moment of pondering, Jing Rou said in a comforting voice, “The way I see it, she’ll probably be in a better place in her hands than in Xing Bo’s. Your senior martial sister is an accident to that eighth grade ice phoenix. I doubt that it knew your senior martial sister was in that ice crystal when she channeled it to her.

“Plus, she doesn’t have any feuds with your senior martial sister. It’s not likely that she’ll do terrible things to her.

“At least she won’t erase your senior martial sister’s memories and marry her, right?”

Nie Tian gradually calmed down after hearing these words. He pondered the matter a bit more, and realized that as long as Pei Qiqi didn’t die, she would indeed be in a better place than in Xing Bo’s hands.

The only problem was would that eighth grade ice phoenix let Pei Qiqi live?

“Can we get in touch with the Ancientbeasts?” Nie Tian asked.

Eyebrows furrowed, Jing Rou said, “I’ll try and see if we can get some information about that eighth grade ice phoenix.”

Now that the ice phoenix had taken Pei Qiqi away, the plan she had made with Duan Shihu to rescue Pei Qiqi came to nothing.

Even though Nie Tian was very frustrated, there was very little he could do about it. Eventually, he said, “I’ll go to the Shatter Battlefield if we can’t get in touch with the Ancientbeasts. She said just before leaving that she would return to the Shatter Battlefield soon, right? I’ll probably be able to find her there!

“I still have quite a few soul crystals. As long as I can find her, I’ll definitely be able to trade them for Senior Martial Sister Pei!”

Everyone’s expressions flickered upon hearing that he planned to go to the Shatter Battlefield.

...

High in the air in the Realm of Maelstrom.

Standing in an air-transportation spiritual tool with Gao Han and a few other experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, Xing Bo stomped with fury as he stared at the spatial rift the ice phoenix had disappeared in.

A figure suddenly flew to them from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s area.

Doing his utmost to suppress his fury, Xing Bo said, “Elder Du Zheng, an eighth grade ice phoenix just stole my ice crystal, which is more than ten thousand years old, along with a person I imprisoned in it.”

Du Zheng was at the middle Void domain. Like Meng Li, he was the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s overseer in the Realm of Maelstrom.

However, he had been away when this incident had happened. He had just received word of it and rushed over here.

This was because Jing Rou and Duan Shihu’s plan to rescue Pei Qiqi had already been carried out.

The first step had been to get Du Zheng out of the Realm of Maelstrom.

The reason why Du Zheng hadn’t been here earlier was because Jing Rou had created some thorny matters in his clan, which had held him off.

After learning what had happened here, he had put those matters on hold and rushed back here at the first possible moment.

After landing in the air-transportation spiritual tool where Xing Bo and Gao Han were standing, he followed their gazes and took a deep look at the spatial rift the ice phoenix had disappeared into. After pondering in silence for a while, he said, “We’d better let go of this matter.”

Xing Bo’s expression grew discontent.

With a grim expression, Du Zheng explained, “That ice phoenix is at the peak of the eighth grade, only one step away from entering the ninth grade. It’s not worth it to fight her over an ice crystal. And we don’t know much about Ancientbeasts, or what lies beyond that spatial rift.
