Chapter 814: Calls from the Desolate Antiquity Era (2/2)
Qiao Yunxi wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
He gave Qiao Yunxi a stern look. “You need to go now!”
Qiao Yunxi smiled bitterly. “Alright... Since you’re my senior, I’ve got to listen to you...”
Even though this old man was only at the early Soul realm, his words seemed to carry more weight than Yue Yanxi’s.
What Nie Tian didn’t know was that this man was Qiao Bin, a senior of Qiao Yunxi’s. Like the Lei Clan, the Qiao Clan was also one of the Divine Flame Sect’s subordinate forces. The Qiao Clan had been mediocre among all of the Divine Flame Sect’s subordinate forces.
The Qiao Clan had only recently risen to prominence because Qiao Yunxi had become the Divine Flame Sect’s most valued chosen one.
Qiao Bin knew that the future of the Qiao Clan lay with Qiao Yunxi, so of course he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her.
Due to his insistence, Qiao Yunxi walked reluctantly into the teleportation portal.
After a moment of hesitation, Nie Tian believed there was no use in him sticking around, and thus also walked into the portal.
Afterwards, Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan followed him into the portal and prepared to leave.
Just as Qiao Bin was going to activate the spell formation and teleport them back to the Divine Flame Sect’s headquarters, a deafening sharp cry echoed out from the heart of the Seven-star Blue Sea.
That cry seemed to have traveled through space and instantly spread to their location.
Everyone shuddered violently upon hearing that sharp cry. Nie Tian felt as if his ears had been pierced, and his head hurt so much it felt like it was going to split.
The girls suffered just as much, as they all trembled, covering their ears.
Qiao Bin’s face turned pale with fright. “The ninth stone statue has awoken!” Not daring to waste another second, he hastily activated the spell formation.
The teleportation portal on the ancient starship was instantly wreathed in rings of glowing spiritual light, through which Nie Tian gazed into the distance.
To his astonishment, he saw the eight stone statues surrounding the larger ninth statue, which had just risen from the Seven-star Blue Sea.
Even though they were still very far from Nie Tian’s location, it seemed as if the distance between them suddenly shortened as the ninth statue rose from the sea into the air.
With surprising clarity, Nie Tian saw Yue Yanxi and the other Void domain experts rising high into the void before plummeting in the next moment.
From the look of it, the ninth stone statue had inflicted severe damage on their private domains as soon as it awoke.
However, the nine stone statues didn’t seem to have any interest in Yue Yanxi or the other experts, as it shot into the void immediately afterwards.
Like ancient starships, they flew away at lightning speed, losing Yue Yanxi and the others in the blink of an eye.
As they did, a series of resounding voice came from their jade-like bodies, spreading in all directions. “Shatter... Shatter...”
Since they sounded very similar to the language of the Ancientspirits from the Desolate Antiquity Era, Nie Tian instantly understood them.
SHEW!
While Nie Tian was still confused and shocked by his new discovery, the teleportation was activated, and he and the three girls suddenly vanished from the ancient starship.
In the next moment, he found himself standing in a spell formation that sat atop the volcano where the Divine Flame Sect’s headquarters was located.
Astonishment filled Yin Yanan’s fine face. “Shatter! Those stone statues seemed to be calling the word: Shatter! All disciples of our sect are required to learn the Ancientbeasts’ language. I believe I heard them right. The word they were calling was none other than ‘Shatter’!”
“That’s right. They were calling the word ‘Shatter’.” Nie Tian agreed with her.
“You heard them too?” Yin Yanan asked, looking surprised.
Nie Tian nodded.
Even though Qiao Yunxi and Mu Biqiong had also heard the stone statues, since they hadn’t learned the language of the Ancientspirits from the Desolate Antiquity Era, they didn’t know what they meant.
After Nie Tian and Yin Yanan confirmed that the words those stone statues had been calling was ‘Shatter’, they fell into pondering.
“Shatter... Shatter... Could they be referring to the Shatter Battlefield?” Qiao Yunxi muttered with a suspicious expression.
With a deep look in her eyes, Mu Biqiong chimed in, “I suppose they have some kind of connection to the Shatter Battlefield. It’s just that I don’t understand why they kept calling the word ‘Shatter’.”
With these words, they walked out of the teleportation portal, and saw that numerous Soul realm and Profound realm disciples of the Divine Flame Sect were already gathered by it.
They all looked as if they were facing formidable foes. From the look of it, they were ready to march through the teleportation portal to the battlefield at any moment.
An early Void domain old man, who had just awoken from his secluded cultivation, flew over from a nearby crimson mountain peak, and asked, “What’s the situation over there? How’s the battle between grand elder and those eight stone statues going?”
With furrowed eyebrows, Qiao Yunxi said with a concerned look, “The ninth stone statue has already awakened, Elder Mao. I saw the grand elder and the other Void domain seniors falling out of the sky as soon as the ninth stone statue awoke. They seemed to have been somehow struck by the ninth stone statue, but I don’t know how badly they were injured.”
