Chapter 904: Secret Aid (2/2)

Then, the whole portal started to operate, channeling spatial power and generating a misty light, as if it were ready to conduct teleportation now.

Qi Bailu’s eyes suddenly lit up as he exclaimed, “This spell formation is operable now. We can teleport back to the Realm of Split Void any time we want!”

Hua Mu and the others all grew ecstatic.

At the same time, they also found this hard to believe.

Zhao Shanling, whose attainments in spatial magics were unmatched throughout the Domain of the Falling Stars, had built this teleportation portal. However, even he would have to activate this portal with the Voidspirit Pagoda’s help.

As powerful as he was, he couldn’t activate it without the Voidspirit Pagoda.

Since Zhao Shanling hadn’t shown up again after disappearing in the Shatter Battlefield, Nie Tian had asked a number of spatial power experts from the Divine Seal Sect to try to activate this portal, yet all of them had failed.

Who would have thought that the ethereal spatial blades Pei Qiqi had secretly unleashed would actually be able to adjust its internal spell formation, and activate it without the help of any powerful spiritual tools?

Was it possible that Pei Qiqi’s understanding of spatial power had already gone beyond Zhao Shanling’s?

“This is unbelievable!” Qi Bailu marveled. “That Heaven Nourished grade spiritual material must have greatly deepened her understanding of spatial power! Given a bit more time, she’ll surely be able to surpass Zhao Shanling and my late master, and become the unparalleled spatial power master of the Domain of the Falling Stars! And that Heaven Nourished grade treasure will make her future path of cultivation free of obstacles!”

“Yeah, but she doesn’t seem to want to see us,” Nie Tian said in frustration.

Hua Mu sighed with mixed emotions. “She must have her reasons. Perhaps she’s worried that she’d put us in danger if we met. But she went to great lengths to make this teleportation portal operable, which means she must have been paying attention to us the whole time.

“By doing this, I think she wants to send us the message that she wants us to leave the Domain of Heaven Python as soon as possible.”

Just as Nie Tian was about to say something, Qi Bailu’s eyebrows flickered as he said with a sad tone, “She’s gone.”

Hua Mu and Zong Zheng spread their soul awareness into their surroundings. Moments later, they also let out sighs of frustration.

They could no longer sense any changes in the watery curtain, and the spatial rifts had stopped vanishing.

This meant that Pei Qiqi had either left for another realm, or entered one of the spatial rifts and ended up in some unknown place.

“It seems that she only came to the Realm of Maelstrom to help us get this teleportation portal working, so that we’d be able to return to the Realm of Split Void,” Zong Zheng said in a soft voice.

Mixed emotions rose in Nie Tian’s heart. “So she’s been worrying about us the whole time.”

He would be able to return to the Realm of Split Void any time he wanted now, yet he wasn’t happy at all.

Instead, he was deeply worried about Pei Qiqi.

She could have teleported herself to the Realm of Split Void through this teleportation portal, but she didn’t.

Nie Tian knew that if the outsider invasion was indeed partly because of her, then her returning to the Domain of the Falling Stars would probably attract the outsiders to the Domain of the Falling Stars as well.

Even the Domain of Heaven Python wasn’t strong enough to contend against those outsiders. The consequences would be catastrophic if those outsiders marched into the Domain of the Falling Stars.

She had a home that she didn’t dare to return to. Instead, she could only drift around, hiding from the pursuing outsiders. She might even have to face the pursuit of powerful human experts from the Shatter Battlefield...

Pei Qiqi was in a much more dangerous position than they were.

Eyebrows furrowed, Hua Mu said, “This teleportation portal is already accessible. What do we do now? It won’t feel right if we leave without informing Duan Shihu. He’s been nice to us after all.”

Qi Bailu also had a headache over the matter as he said, “Even if we don’t tell him, the Divine Seal Sect will probably assume that Qiqi was here. If we leave without telling anyone, they may even assume that Qiqi returned to the Realm of Split Void with us.”

Nie Tian pondered for a while before saying, “Will you go back first with the others, Uncle Hua? I still have something to say to my senior martial brother.”

Hua Mu’s eyes grew wide as he said assertively, “No, we’ll stay and wait for you.”

Nie Tian took a deep breath. “Don’t. You guys go first. No matter what, I have to talk to my senior martial brother, especially considering that he and Jing Rou have been really nice to us, and viewed me as their hope to turn the situation around and save the Domain of Heaven Python from this upcoming calamity.”

Hua Mu pondered briefly before saying, “How about this: we return to the Domain of the Falling Stars first and see how things are over there. If you don’t return after a while, we’ll come back here to fight side by side with you.”

“Umm... alright.” Nie Tian agreed.

Then, Hua Mu and the others left for the Realm of Split Void through the teleportation portal.

All of a sudden, Nie Tian became the only one left in the spacious hall.

He came to the balcony on the top floor, where he gazed beyond the vortex-like curtain into the boundless starry river, pondering what he should do.

At this moment, a large thundercloud suddenly appeared over the Realm of Maelstrom and quickly descended.

“Yuan Jiuchuan!”
