Chapter 892: The Thunder Devil (1/2)

Yin Yanan lowered her voice, astonishment filling her eyes.

Nie Tian also looked as if he was facing a formidable foe.

He had never expected that he had only left for about two hours, and yet Yuan Jiuchuan had arrived here.

From Mo Qinglei, the future sectmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, he had already learned the fact that Yuan Jiuchuan was a reborn cultivator.

His peak cultivation base from his previous life had been at the middle Saint domain, and he had earned himself the name of Thunder Devil.

Since his path of cultivation had been filled with blood and killing, all those who practiced lightning incantations had viewed him as a dreadful devil.

What he had done was to forcibly channel power from those who practiced lightning and thunder power to enhance his own strength and cultivation base.

Eventually, a group of lightning power cultivators had come together, lured him to the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, and killed him there. The current sectmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Sect had participated in that operation personally.

This man was the reason why Nie Tian and the girls had left the Fortune Wells in a hurry.

After taking Mo Qinglei’s Thunder King Seal and draining him of his lightning power, Yuan Jiuchuan had massacred almost everyone who had been gathered at the Fortune Wells at that time, humans and outsiders alike.

Now, a year had passed, and Yuan Jiuchuan had already entered the early Soul realm.

However, Nie Tian was well-aware that his actual battle prowess was far beyond his current cultivation base. After all, he had reached the middle Saint domain in his previous life, and he had gained the Thunder King Seal.

As the Star Boat flew closer, Nie Tian discovered that Yuan Jiuchuan and Zong Zheng were actually chatting.

Yuan Jiuchuan’s old man appearance and early Soul realm cultivation base were very deceptive. It would be hard for others to see him as the cold-blooded killer that he really was.

Zong Zheng must not know how deadly the person he was talking to actually was.

Zong Zheng’s eyes lit up as he saw the Star Boat approach. He let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Nie Tian!

“I can’t believe you actually brought brother Qi and brother Hua back alive!”

With a heartily smile, he continued, “Let me introduce you. This is Yuan Jiu. He’s very interested in the spatial rift that leads to the Realm of Maelstrom, and he wishes to visit the Realm of Maelstrom through it after it stabilizes.”

Apparently, Zong Zheng had been deceived by Yuan Jiuchuan’s early Soul realm cultivation base and friendly attitude, and thus had a conversation with him regarding the Shatter Battlefield.

From him, Yuan Jiuchuan had learned that one of the spatial rifts would soon stabilize, allowing them to return to the Realm of Maelstrom in the Domain of Heaven Python. Therefore, he had expressed his desire to visit the Realm of Maelstrom and see if he would be able to find some spiritual materials that agreed with him.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Nie Tian’s mouth. “Yuan Jiu...”

Hua Mu and Qi Bailu, who were standing beside him, had heard Yin Yanan’s exclamation and seen the grim expressions on Nie Tian and the girls’ faces upon seeing Yuan Jiuchuan.

The two of them remained silent, but their faces also grew somber as they looked at Yuan Jiuchuan.

Yuan Jiuchuan had a cold look in his eyes as he listened to Zong Zheng introduce them. Then, a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, “It’s you.”

Zong Zheng went blank. “Have you met before?”

Yuan Jiuchuan nodded gently with his eyes fixed on Nie Tian. “Yes, we did. That Mo Qinglei person from the Heavenly Thunder Sect left with you. Do you know where he is now?”

After the Star Boat floated slowly to Zong Zheng’s side, Nie Tian signaled for him to get on board.

Though quite puzzled, Zong Zheng picked up Nie Tian’s hint and stepped onto the Star Boat.

As he did, Nie Tian’s expression grew somewhat relaxed. He steered the Star Boat to put a certain distance between them and Yuan Jiuchuan.

Only then did Nie Tian answer, “We parted ways soon after leaving the Fortune Wells. I don’t know where he went after that.”

With a forced smile, Yuan Jiuchuan said, “No need to be so nervous. Did that little rascal from the Heavenly Thunder Sect say anything to you?”

Nie Tian shook his head. “No, nothing.”

Yuan Jiuchuan smiled. “Really? He said nothing about me?”

“Really, nothing at all,” Nie Tian answered.

Yuan Jiuchuan then took a deep look at him and nodded. “I guess it doesn’t really matter whether you know about it or not. That air-transportation spiritual tool of yours seems to be a Star Boat from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, right?”
