Chapter 940: Aid from Far Away (1/2)

In the starry river outside the Realm of Falling Snow...

Instead of summoning any spiritual tools, Patriarch Snowy Peak unleashed his domain after flying into the starry river.

As he did, an enormous sphere of ice and snow spread out with him at the center, inside of which a snow-capped mountain peak loomed, exuding a frigid aura.

Wisps of white frosty aura could be seen rising from Patriarch Snowy Peak as he stood on top of the snow-capped mountain peak, as if he were the one and only god that ruled that space.

“Hmm?!” He suddenly jerked his head in a direction, a surprised look filling his face.

A splendid ancient starship had suddenly appeared in the border region of the Domain of Endless Snow and the Domain of Flame’s End.

Brow furrowed, Patriarch Snowy Peak muttered, “It’s the Xie Clan from the Water Moon Sect in the Domain of Vast Darkness!”

He recognized the sigil on the ancient starship after a brief glance.

Jing Feiyang looked surprised as well as he said, “How come people from the Xie Clan suddenly showed up here? The Water Moon Sect and the Heavenly Ice Sect have had many feuds with each other over the past few hundred years. These two sects are just as powerful. Neither of them could overtake the other. So the relationship between them has been strained the whole time. I wonder why they’ve come here.”

A puzzled expression appeared on Nie Tian’s face. “The Xie Clan...”

Xie Wanting and Xie Yunhai, who he had met in the Shatter Battlefield were a brother and sister pair from the Water Moon Sect.

When he had parted with Xie Wanting, she had even sincerely invited him to visit the Domain of Vast Darkness.

Apparently, she had been grateful to him for looking after her in the Shatter Battlefield.

It was also thanks to him that she had gained quite a fortune from her trip to the Shatter Battlefield.

“Is this Nie Tian?” Xie Wanting’s gentle voice echoed out from the border region between the Domain of Flame’s End and the Domain of Endless Snow.

Standing on the ancient starship and enveloped in a protective ward, Nie Tian and the others could see that Xie Wanting, Xie Yunhai, and a good-looking middle-aged man were looking at him from afar.

Nie Tian smiled. “What brought you here?”

With a warm smile, Xie Wanting said, “We happened to be passing through this area. I heard that you were close by, so we waited here, hoping to meet you again.”

Then, she turned to the middle-aged man beside her. “Oh right. Nie Tian, This is my father, Xie Qian, the current sectmaster of the Water Moon Sect.”

In a very respectful manner, Nie Tian clasped his hands and said, “Greetings, senior.”

“Nie Tian, thank you for taking care of Yunhai and Wanting in the Shatter Battlefield,” Xie Qian said in a warm and sincere manner. “They told me all about what happened in the Shatter Battlefield. I first wanted to go visit you in the Domain of Heaven Python to express my gratitude.

“But we happened to pass this area on business. Learning that you were in the Domain of Endless Snow, we figured we might as well wait for you here so that I could meet and thank you in person.”

With these words, Xie Qian nodded slightly towards Jing Feiyang.

Jing Feiyang returned the salute promptly.

Jing Rou lowered her voice and explained to Nie Tian, “The Xie Clan is the backbone of the Water Moon Sect. It’s safe to say that they practically own the Water Moon Sect. Senior Xie Qian is at the middle Saint domain, which is the same as Patriarch Snowy Peak, but he entered the middle Saint domain earlier, so his cultivation base is a bit more solid.”

After pausing for a few seconds, she continued, “The Water Moon Sect is also slightly more powerful than the Heavenly Ice Sect.

“If we talk about domains, the Domain of Vast Darkness is also the most powerful domain in this area, stronger than the Domain of Heaven Python, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of Endless Snow.

“However, since the Domain of Vast Darkness is fairly far from the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and close to the Domain of Endless Snow, we don’t have a close connection with them.But one thing is for sure: the Water Moon Sect enjoys a much better reputation than the Heavenly Ice Sect, and the people from the Xie Clan are known for their breadth of mind.”

Nie Tian nodded as he listened attentively.

He could tell that Jing Rou had a rather high opinion of the Xie Clan from the Domain of Vast Darkness.

As they spoke, the Water Moon Sect’s ancient starship slowly sailed to them.

As the distance between the two ancient starships rapidly shortened, Xie Qian leaped onto Nie Tian’s ancient starship with Xie Yunhai and Xie Wanting.

Thousands of meters away, Patriarch Snowy Peak floated alone in the starry river. His face grew grimmer and grimmer as he watched Xie Qian from afar.

After hesitating for quite a while, he clenched his jaw and slowly approached them.
