Chapter 925: Refusals (1/2)

In the Divine Seal Sect’s headquarters in the Realm of Maelstrom.

Jing Feiyang, the sectmaster of the Divine Seal Sect, Zhai Mingde, the sectmaster of the Golden Vast Sect, and Quan Zixuan, the sectmaster of the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, were gathered in a spacious hall, with a handful of Void domain experts standing behind each of them.

The three of them were all at the early Saint domain.

However, compared to the other two, Quan Zixuan’s aura seemed somewhat weaker.

He had vanished completely since he had been severely injured by a ninth grade Bonebrute grand patriarch. No one had known where he had been.

He hadn’t shown up the entire time when the outsiders had devastated the Domain of Heaven Python. Even their headquarters had fallen into the outsiders’ hands.

The Thousandsword Mountain Sect had ended up suffering the greatest losses from this outsider invasion.

Only when the outsiders had withdrawn their forces had he returned to their headquarters. However, the spiritual materials and medicinal pills, along with all of the valuables they had accumulated over thousands of years, had already been looted by the outsiders.

The Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s fame suffered a drastic decline. As the sectmaster, Quan Zixuan even had trouble holding onto his early Saint domain cultivation base.

Later, Nie Tian had returned to the Realm of Maelstrom. After Meng Li had informed all parties that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had already put the Domain of Heaven Python under the name of the seventh Son of the Stars, he had also come to the Realm of Maelstrom.

At this moment, Jing Feiyang was explaining the situation to everyone present.

However, before he could finish, Quan Zixuan interrupted him.

With an unpleasant look in his eyes, he stared at Nie Tian and said, “I have some questions that I hope you can answer for us.”

“Please, senior,” Nie Tian said.

Before his return, he had already gained an overall understanding of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s rules through Huang Jinnan and Tao Jin.

Even though the Sons of the Stars enjoyed very special statuses in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, they wouldn’t receive much help from their sect as they built up their strength. Instead of making use of the sect’s resources, they would have to rely on themselves for the most part.

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace viewed the Sons of the Stars as their future sectmasters, so they wouldn’t cultivate them in a greenhouse and provide them with extra care.

It was also for this reason that they wouldn’t arrange for powerful experts to help him win the allegiance of the major powers in the Domain of Heaven Python or the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had only spread word of them assigning the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries to Nie Tian so that the powerful domains in their surroundings would keep their hands off them.

Many outsider forces would also think twice before invading these domains from now on.

However, Nie Tian would have to rely on himself to persuade the major sects in these two domains to become his subordinates.

Winning those sects over with his personal charisma after the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had eliminated the exterior obstructions for him would also be a testament to his abilities.

If he failed to bring the two domains to heel after the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had laid the groundwork for him, it would be a great loss of face.

On the other hand, Jing Feiyang, Zhai Mingde, and Quan Zixuan were all early Saint domain experts.

If he could win them over, not only would it prove his personal influence and charisma, but his reputation in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace would also rise to a whole new level.

Therefore, Nie Tian didn’t put on airs when facing these experts. Instead, he behaved rather modestly.

“There’s a girl named Pei Qiqi and a man named Zhao Shanling,” Quan Zixuan said with anger in his eyes. “Are they from the Domain of the Falling Stars?”

Calm and composed, Nie Tian nodded and said, “That’s right.”

Quan Zixuan did his utmost to suppress his anger as he asked, “How is your relationship with them?”

“Very good” Nie Tian answered, looking in Quan Zixuan’s eyes.

“Good! Very good!” Quan Zixuan said with a cold smile. “I’ve received word that this outsider invasion had a lot to do with the two of them! That girl named Pei Qiqi seems to have obtained something very powerful from the Shatter Battlefield. The outsiders were afraid that it would end up in the Void Spirit Society’s hands, and thus invaded our domain to take that thing.

“As for Zhao Shanling, he angered the Void Spirit Society and told them that he was from the Domain of Heaven Python.

“The two of them were the main reason why our domain had to go through this calamity!”
