Chapter 926: Heavy Pressure (2/2)

Only the Divine Flame Sect, the Beast-controlling Sect, and the Bliss Mountain Sect, who had special connections to Nie Tian, hadn’t changed their minds.

The results of Nie Tian’s assessment in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace should have been a secret, though it wasn’t an important one. Besides, there was a significant distance between the Realm of Fragmentary Star and these two domains. It was surprising that word of it traveled so fast.

Jing Feiyang and many others from the Divine Seal Sect suspected that someone had done this to undermine Nie Tian.

If there were plenty of opposing voices in these two domains after the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had assigned them to him, then it would prove that he wasn’t a competent Son of the Stars.

Before long, more news came from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

They were from the Divine Flame Sect.

According to them, Fan Kai and his people had run into an ancient starship of the Heavenly Ice Sect on their way to the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. Fan Kai, Zhao Luofeng, Lei Zhenyu, and the others had all been imprisoned and brought back to the Heavenly Ice Sect’s headquarters in the Domain of Endless Snow.

It was known that Fan Kai and those with him were from the Domain of the Falling Stars, and that they had pledged themselves to Nie Tian before entering the Shatter Battlefield.

Almost everyone knew that Fan Kai was a subordinate of Nie Tian, the seventh Son of the Stars.

By imprisoning them in their headquarters, those Qi warriors from the Domain of Endless Snow were none other than slapping his face.

However, soon after he learned about this unexpected event, word of it soon spread to the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, as if someone were determined to make him lose face.

“The Heavenly Ice Sect from the Domain of Endless Snow!” Nie Tian said with a cold face.

He still remembered being ambushed by a group of Qi warriors from the Domain of Endless Snow when he had first entered the Bloody Grave Mountain Range.

Those Qi warriors had been catty and ruthless, but since they hadn’t been strong enough, Nie Tian and the girls had killed them all.

He hadn’t expected that he would face more provocation from the Heavenly Ice Sect after returning from the Shatter Battlefield.

“This is very strange...” Jing Feiyang said with furrowed brow. “The Domain of Endless Snow is not far from the Domain of Heaven Python. They must have paid close attention to our domain when we were invaded by outsiders, and things became messy. As word of you spread across the Domain of Heaven Python, people from the Heavenly Ice Sect should have learned about you too.

“So if they knew that Fan Kai and the others were from the Domain of the Falling Stars, which the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had long since given to you, how come they still dared to imprison your people?

“Like us, the Domain of Endless Snow is independent, without any ancient powers at their back. Normally speaking, they would never have the audacity to offend someone like you.”

Nie Tian’s face grew grim as he remained silent.

Jing Feiyang let out a sigh and added, “I have a strong feeling that someone has been undermining your reputation and spirits the whole time. Everyone knows that Fan Kai and those with him are your people. Now, they’ve been imprisoned by the Heavenly Ice Sect. If you don’t free them soon, the Jian Clan, the Guan Clan, and the Chu Clan, who are currently on the fence, will most likely choose to stay independent.

“Even many in my sect had worries after learning that you practice multiple powers simultaneously, and counseled reconsideration.

“They also heard that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace wouldn’t send powerful experts to help newborn Sons of the Stars straighten things out.

“So they thought that even if we chose to stay independent like the Thousandsword Mountain Sect and the Golden Vast Sect did, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace wouldn’t force us.

“Things might get out of control if you don’t free Fan Kai and the others soon.

“Patriarch Snowy Peak from the Heavenly Ice Sect is at the middle Saint domain, which is higher than my cultivation base. Aside from him, there’s another in the Heavenly Ice Sect who’s at the early Saint domain.

“Even if the four Saint domain experts of our domain teamed up against the Heavenly Ice Sect, we might not be able to win, much less when two of us have refused to follow you.”

Jing Feiyang seemed deeply worried, worried for Nie Tian.

Nie Tian also had a feeling that an invisible hand had been creating trouble for him, cracking his morale down, and thwarting him taking over the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries and the Domain of Heaven Python.

“Who might it be? People from the Void Spirit Society, or someone from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”
