Chapter 898: Returning to the Realm of Maelstrom (1/2)

In the Realm of Maelstrom in the Domain of Heaven Python.

One figure after another flashed out of the spatial rift that hung high in the sky.

Duan Shihu, who had broken through into the late Profound realm, stood by Meng Li’s side with Jing Rou.

In a place not far from them, Wu Yun from the Golden Vast Sect and Du Zheng from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect were also paying close attention to the spatial rift in the sky.

Eyebrows furrowed, Meng Li gazed up at the figures that flashed out of the spatial rift and said, “This time, it took five years for the spatial rift to stabilize again, which is far longer than before. But what baffles me the most is why so many foreign Qi warriors chose to enter the Domain of Heaven Python instead of returning to their own domains.”

Duan Shihu and Jing Rou remained silent.

The first one they saw to fly out of the stabilized spatial rift was Pei Qiqi.

Both Duan Shihu and Jing Rou had heard about Pei Qiqi, and knew that part of the reason why Nie Tian had gone to the Shatter Battlefield was because he had wanted to find her.

Therefore, Duan Shihu had intended to approach her and ask her what had happened upon seeing her.

However, before he could do that, she vanished into the sky that looked like an enormous well over the Realm of Maelstrom under everyone’s gazes.

The ‘well’ connected to the boundless starry river. Normally speaking, only Void domain experts would be able to travel back and forth through it safely.

Those with inferior cultivation bases would have to rely on ancient starships.

Pei Qiqi was far from entering the Void domain, yet she vanished in the blink of an eye.

Even Meng Li failed to locate her with his immense soul awareness.

Only after Pei Qiqi left did Patriarch Pure Heaven appear with Yue Yanxi, Jiang Feng, Yin Yanan, and Mu Biqiong.

Then, they were followed by many strange faces, most of which weren’t Qi warriors from the Domain of Heaven Python.

Those from the Domain of Heaven Python only took up a small part of the arrivals.

Their pouring into the Realm of Maelstrom deeply worried Meng Li. He realized that major changes must have taken place in the Shatter Battlefield.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Finally, Nie Tian flew out of the spatial rift, along with the others from the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Overjoyed, Duan Shihu waved at him. “Over here, Junior Martial Brother!”

Nie Tian said a few words to Hua Mu, telling them to go rest in the residence the Divine Seal Sect had assigned for them in the Realm of Maelstrom.

Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, Fan Kai, and the others nodded and left as they were told.

Then, Nie Tian flew onto Duan Shihu’s air-transportation spiritual tool.

At this moment, small spatial blades suddenly flew out of the spatial rift, and straight up into the starry sky where Pei Qiqi had vanished.

A few seconds after that, the spatial rift became congested and inaccessible again.

Nie Tian switched his gaze between the spatial rift and the direction in which the spatial blades had vanished, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Now, he was completely convinced that those spatial blades were the reason why the spatial rift had remained accessible for this long, and this was all because Pei Qiqi had been secretly helping them.

“That senior martial sister of mine...” Nie Tian said.

Duan Shihu pointed up at the boundless starry river where the spatial blades had just disappeared. “She left immediately after flying out of that spatial rift. What surprised me the most is that she hasn’t entered the Void domain, and she didn’t travel on an ancient starship. Instead, she simply burst through the natural ward over the Realm of Maelstrom, and flew away.”

“What happened in the Shatter Battlefield, Nie Tian?” Meng Li asked somewhat anxiously.

Upon arriving, Patriarch Pure Heaven left for the Divine Seal Sect’s stronghold in the Realm of Maelstrom with the others, eager to teleport back to the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. Adding in the fact that Meng Li didn’t know him well, he didn’t go ask him about the situation.

“It was said that a Heaven Nourished grade spiritual material appeared...” Nie Tian explained what he had learned to Meng Li and the others.
