Chapter 947: The Daughter of Flames (1/2)

“Divine Son, there are three realms in this domain. This realm where we set up our teleportation portal is only one of them.”

“Lizardmen seem to be the only intelligent inhabitants of these three realms, and this realm is where the most powerful Lizardman warriors are gathered.”

“The Lizardmen we’ve encountered so far are all fairly weak, and we killed them all. We haven’t seen any truly powerful Lizardman warriors yet. From the look of it, the Lizardmen haven’t discovered us yet. But since we’ve killed some of them, it’s only a matter of time before they realize that something is wrong.”

“And we haven’t had a chance to scan the three realms to see what kinds of resources each of them holds...”

Huang Jinnan’s subordinates went on and explained everything they had learned about this domain to him.

This appeared to be the first time Huang Jinnan had set foot in this remote unexplored domain as well, as he also needed to get an overall understanding of it through his subordinates.

Nie Tian listened attentively.

This was the first time he had gone on an exploration trip to a brand new domain with someone, and this domain was home to a handful of powerful Lizardmen that were as formidable as Saint domain human experts. If things somehow went wrong, the follow-up forces he planned to summon from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, the Domain of Heaven Python, and the Domain of the Falling Stars might suffer heavy casualties.

He had gone to great lengths to silence the different voices within these domains. If the first exploration trip he organized ended with his subordinate sects suffering heavy casualties, his reputation would take a strong hit, and it would be much harder for him to lead these sects and domains in the future.

While he listened to Huang Jinnan’s subordinates explain the special features of this domain, the teleportation portal behind them became active again.

With a surprised expression, he turned around to look at it.

“She’s here!” Huang Jinnan said, looking spirited.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

One figure after another flew through the teleportation portal, the first one being a tall, red-robed young woman with average looks.

At the early Void domain, the woman thrummed with a strong flaming aura.

Huang Jinnan laughed cheekily upon seeing her. Apparently, they were very close. “Senior martial sister! I thought you weren’t interested in exploring this domain with me.”

Nie Tian was dumbstruck as he instantly realized something. “Senior martial sister… She’s the Daughter of Flames!”

Then, every subordinate of Huang Jinnan’s bowed towards her in a very respectful and humble manner.

“Greetings!”

“Greetings, Daughter of Flames!”

Lou Hongyan, who they were referring to as the Daughter of Flames, only nodded slightly in return.

Even though she didn’t have impressive good looks, her eyes were unusually bright. Like two sparkling, crystal-clear gems, they gave her quite a bit of charm.

Lou Hongyan’s gaze eventually landed on Nie Tian. Fixing him with a curious gaze, she asked, “You’re the seventh Son of the Stars, Nie Tian, right? I heard that you’ve already solved the internal resistance within the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. That’s quite impressive. I also heard that you have a God domain flame power expert at your back, and he’s not from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace...”

With a flattered smile, Nie Tian only said, “Nice to meet you, Daughter of Flames.”

Lou Hongyan realized that everyone had secrets they wouldn’t share with strangers, so she didn’t put Nie Tian on the spot by pursuing the subject.

Among her subordinates, three seemed to be at the Saint domain, though Nie Tian couldn’t determine their exact cultivation bases.

Aside from those three, the other ten were all at the Void domain.

Lou Hongyan herself was at the early Void domain, which was the weakest of them all.

However, her subordinates’ eyes were all filled with respect as they looked at her.

“Alright, tell me what you’ve learned about this domain,” Lou Hongyan said.

Huang Jinnan then explained what he had just learned from his subordinates to her.

Nie Tian remained silent the whole time, feeling bitter at heart. “I wouldn’t have agreed to come if I knew she was coming too. With her around all the time, I’ll be exposed as soon as I use the Flame Dragon Armor. Even if I don’t use it, she might be able to sense it if the Flame Dragon Armor grows a bit restless within my ring of holding.

“After all, the Flame Dragon Armor was forged for her by the head of the flame element sect, and she was its first master.”

Nie Tian even thought he had better not use the secret magics he had derived from the titans, lest the Daughter of Flames pick up clues from it that eventually led her to the truth about the Flame Dragon Armor.

“Nie Tian’s subordinates haven’t arrived yet,” Huang Jinnan said. “They still need some time to assemble.”

“According to what I’ve learned, there are only four Saint domain experts in the entire Domain of Heaven Python, and they’re all at the early Saint domain.” With these words, Lou Hongyan pondered for a while before asking, “How many powerful Lizardman warriors are there in this realm?”
