Chapter 811: A Sudden Turn of Events! (1/2)

Looking deeply confused, Guan Fu hastily asked, “What’s wrong, Brother Yue?”

Yue Yanxi had been in the middle of a conversation with them when he had suddenly taken out a Sound Stone and started communicating via it in private. Immediately afterwards, his expression flickered with fright. This made Guan Fu wonder what was going on.

The three of them followed Yue Yanxi into the Seven-star Blue Sea.

As they did, Yue Yanxi hesitated briefly before saying, “Nie Tian said those stone statues won’t bring us great fortune. Instead, unknown danger lies within them. I trust him, so I told all disciples of our sect to evacuate!”

Jiang Feng, Guan Fu, and Jian Tong all gasped with astonishment. “Nie Tian said that?!”

In that forbidden region, they had all witnessed Nie Tian’s incredible abilities as the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

A figure like him wouldn’t make important decisions without a reason, especially at such a sensitive moment.

Even though the Bliss Mountain Sect, which Jiang Feng was from, had strife with Nie Tian, he decided to trust Nie Tian after pondering in silence for a few seconds. Therefore, he hurriedly took out his Sound Stone and issued orders to the Bliss Mountain Sect disciples.

Guan Fu and Jian Tong trusted Nie Tian even more. They had already made arrangements as Jiang Feng hesitated.

SHEW!

The Flame Bird sped away from the heart of the Seven-star Blue Sea at full speed.

But at the same time, Nie Tian sent a wisp of his soul awareness to the Beast-controlling Sect disciples’ location, where it suddenly flew into Yin Yanan’s sea of awareness.

“Shameless bastard!” Yin Yanan grew furious as she assumed that Nie Tian was so daring that he was actually going to take advantage of her with his soul awareness again.

Therefore, she decided to teach him a lesson as soon as Nie Tian’s soul awareness barged into her mind.

However, at that very moment, Nie Tian’s soul awareness delivered a message to her.

A shocked look appeared in her eyes as she received Nie Tian’s warning.

At that moment, Mu Biqiong from the Bliss Mountain Sect suddenly called out in her womanly voice, “Senior Zhou, we disciples of the Bliss Mountain Sect have decided to give up on deriving enlightenment from these stone statues. We’re leaving now, and we won’t ask for our spirit jades back.”

“Sure!” Zhou Shang said, laughing.

Like Mu Biqiong, the representatives of the Guan Clan and the Jian Clan also sprang to their feet and took turns to express their intention to leave.

“We’ve decided to leave too, Senior Zhou.”

“Considering that we can’t seem to gain anything, we don’t want to waste any more time here. We’re leaving too.”

They started the spell formations within their respective air-transportation spiritual tools as they spoke. They only waited for Zhou Shang to nod so they could leave.

Still smiling, Zhou Shang nodded and waved at them. “Sure. Go ahead.”

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

The air-transportation spiritual tools that belonged to the Bliss Mountain Sect, the Guan Clan, and the Jian Clan sped off after the Flame Bird.

However, instead of heading towards their own ancient starships, they headed towards the Divine Flame Sect’s.

That was because Jiang Feng, Jian Tong, and Guan Fu had ordered them to follow the Flame Bird, so that all of them would be able to join up.

Originally, Yin Yanan had been somewhat hesitant after Nie Tian had warned her against the stone statues. But her expression flickered as well when she saw the Bliss Mountain Sect, the Guan Clan, and the Jian Clan leaving in a hurry.

Yin Yanan finally made up her mind, and said, “It seems we won’t be able to come to gain anything here either. We’re out of here too.”

The other nine disciples of the Beast-controlling Sect were all shocked and confused by her decision.

They fixed Yin Yanan with inquiring gazes, wishing to know what made her decide to follow the Divine Flame Sect’s example and leave.

Instead of giving them an explanation, Yin Yanan shook her head towards them, and then fixed her eyes on Zhou Shang.

With a lazy expression, Zhou Shang waved his hand at them. “Leave if you want to.”

As he did, a hint of doubt finally flashed across his narrowed eyes.

The fact that three sects and two clans had simultaneously pulled their members out of this place in a hurry puzzled him as to what was happening.

He had a feeling that these parties had reached some mutual understanding.

However, he couldn’t figure out why they would leave all at the same time, while his sect and the Chu Clan had successfully interacted with the stone statues.

He then shot his gaze at the people from Trisword Sect and the Chu Clan, and was slightly relieved to discover that they were still observing where they had been.

At this moment, two disciples of his sect managed to interact with two other stone statues.

This put him in a good mood again. He laughed heartily and forgot about the other parties suddenly leaving.

As the person who was in charge of this operation, if he could help these talented young disciples from his sect derive valuable enlightenment from these stone statues, it would be considered a significant contribution on his part.

Whether he would be able to hold on to his lofty position in the Pure Heaven Sect would rely on Patriarch Pure Heaven’s attitude towards him.
