Chapter 956: Travel Through the Starry River (1/2)

Somewhere in the dark starry river, an aged, scrawny figure was traveling through the void like a flash of lightning.

It was none other than the Lizardman expert Nie Tian had seen through the images he had received from the Spirit Pearl.

Compared to other Lizardmen, he was about ten times smaller, only slightly taller than an average human.

If it weren’t for the color of his skin and the conspicuous scales that covered his whole body, one would see no connection between him and the other Lizardmen.

However, he was not only a true member of the Lizardman race, but also the most powerful one.

The realm he had practiced cultivation in seemed to have an extremely harsh environment, making it unfit for weaker Lizardmen to live and reproduce in. Since he had stayed there for far too long, the recently born Lizardmen didn’t have any memories of him.

Only eighth and ninth grade Lizardmen knew about his existence, and the fact that he was their true leader, and the pioneer of their bloodline.

“Damn those invaders!” Cursing in their own language, he rapidly approached the realm that was the birthplace of the Lizardmen by relying on nothing but his fleshly body.

...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Enveloped in domains that looked like huge multicolored balloons, the Qi warriors shot straight into the heavens one after another.

Nie Tian was enveloped in Yang Fan’s domain.

The Bone Blood Demon and the Spirit Pearl had already returned to his ring of holding.

Only the Star Boat was chained up by numerous lightning bolts within Yang Fan’s domain, forming a tight connection.

Nie Tian’s exclamation had allowed Lou Hongyan, Huang Jinnan, and the other experts to realize that a Lizardman expert that was about to break their grade limit had yet to join the battle.

Upon hearing that, Lou Hongyan, who had previously been full of confidence, had decided to evacuate.

The battle came to a sudden end.

Numerous domains rose high into the sky.

HOWL! ROAR!

Seeing this, many eighth and ninth grade Lizardmen cried out as they also shot skywards in an attempt to stop them.

Lou Hongyan’s flame domain was rather close to Yang Fan’s lightning domain. She gazed down at the rising Lizardmen, a worried look appearing in her eyes. “You seem to be right.”

They had clearly been at an advantage in the battle they had just ended, as they had already caused casualties to the Lizardmen.

It had been established since the Lizardmen had destroyed their teleportation portal that they weren’t witless at all.

Therefore, they must be able to see that if the battle had gone on, they would only end up suffering a sound defeat.

Under such circumstances, the only explanation for their pursuit was that they knew someone would show up to turn the situation around.

That someone must be the aged Lizardman expert who had developed a human form.

BLUB! BLUB! BLUB!

One of Huang Jinnan’s subordinates approached with Huang Jinnan enveloped in his water domain.

Brow furrowed, Lou Hongyan said, “Junior martial brother, will you give us directions after we leave this domain? I forgot to ask. How did you find this domain in the first place? Since we need to get out of here as fast as possible, perhaps we can retrace the steps you took when you first found it.

“After we return to our sect and get our powerful experts to help us, not to mention that that Lizardman expert hasn’t broken through into the tenth grade, but even if he has, we’ll still be able to sack this domain without effort.”

Her words reminded Nie Tian, so he also turned to fix his eyes on Huang Jinnan.

He also assumed that since they had discovered this place, Huang Jinnan and his subordinates must know a way out.

Even though they no longer had a teleportation portal, as long as they stuck to the route they had taken to come here in the first place, they would be able to return to their sect eventually, although it might take longer.

However, if they didn’t have a direction in the boundless starry river, they might never be able to return again.

Huang Jinnan smiled bitterly. “Retrace our steps...”

“What’s wrong?” Lou Hongyan asked, looking puzzled.
