Chapter 1009: The Resurgence of the Nether Spirit Society (2/2)

Sikong Cuo laughed and said, “Grand elder, the way I see it, my fifth and seventh martial brothers should be exempted from taking part in this operation.”

Mo Heng’s shape in the crystal ball turned to fix his gaze on him.

Sikong Cuo then explained, “Fang Tianyi, the strongest subordinate of my fifth martial brother, is still fixing his domain. As for my seventh martial brother, he doesn’t have a single late Saint domain expert among his subordinates. Those who are at the Saint domain are currently in secluded cultivation, preparing for their new breakthroughs. All of the subordinates he’ll be able to bring are at the Void domain. They won’t be of much help even if they join us on this trip to the Nether Spirit Society’s headquarters.”

After a short pause, he added, “Not to mention that my seventh martial brother himself is only at the late Profound realm. If he goes to the Domain of Nether Heaven with us, forget about him helping with our operation. We might even have to spare attention to look after him.”

After hearing his words, Wei Lai and the other three elders pondered the matter and fell silent.

Sikong Cuo’s words made sense.

As an honored elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Xiao Xihe had definitely been stronger than Fang Tianyi, even though both of them had been at the late Saint domain.

Even Xiao Xihe had died in the Domain of Nether Heaven, along with two other late Saint domain experts from the Void Spirit Society and the Five Elements Sect. What difference would Fang Yuan and Nie Tian be able to make with their forces if they joined this operation?

“I have a plan worked out,” Mo Heng said coldly. “Just do as I say.”

Immediately after he said these words, his shape in the crystal ball vanished.

Nie Tian knew that the shape in the crystal ball was merely a soul shadow of Mo Heng. His fleshly body must be somewhere else, probably far from Fragmentary Star City.

“I’m off to make preparations. Good luck, fifth martial brother, seventh martial brother.” With these words, Sikong Cuo laughed heartily and left.

The way he behaved indicated that he didn’t even have much respect for the sect elders.

Wei Lai didn’t seem to mind his manners as he said to Nie Tian and Fang Yuan, “I’ll teleport you to the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters in three days. As the grand elder said, you can bring your subordinates or come by yourselves. And your contributions in this operation will determine the contribution points you’ll get eventually.”

Nie Tian and Fang Yuan nodded and walked out together.

“Even though what Sikong Cuo said was mean, it’s, in fact, accurate,” Fang Yuan said with a furrowed brow. “The head of my clan is still in secluded cultivation, doing everything he can to fix his domain. I suffered heavy losses from my previous trip to the Dead Star Sea. Many of my Void domain subordinates were killed. I’m afraid the strength of the force I can bring this time will be limited.

“Unlike me, Sikong Cuo has been fighting battles here and there. Not only has he not suffered heavy losses, but he’s even taken in quite a number of new followers.”

He smiled bitterly and added, “I even heard that the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect from the Domain of Heavenly Witchcraft has acknowledged their allegiance to him. The sectmaster of the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect is currently at the middle Saint domain, and his battle prowess is beyond ordinary. In this way, Sikong Cuo now has one late Saint domain and three middle Saint domain subordinates, which isn’t weaker than mine in the slightest before I suffered those losses.”

“The Heavenly Witchcraft Sect...” Nie Tian said, his expression growing strange.

“Did you have any contact with them?”

“I got into a conflict with a few chosen ones from the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect when I was in the Shatter Battlefield, and I killed a bunch of their disciples.”

“If that’s the case, you’d better be careful later when you meet the sectmaster of the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect in the Domain of Nether Heaven.” After a moment of pondering, Fang Yuan asked, “How many subordinates do you plan to bring to the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters?”

“None,” Nie Tian said.

Fang Yuan was taken aback. “None?”

Nie Tian nodded. “Yeah, I don’t really care about how many contribution points I’ll get. But I’m rather curious about the Nether Spirit Society. I have a Phantasm tool in my possession.If I were to encounter disciples of the Nether Spirit Society in the Domain of Nether Heaven, I should be able to protect myself with it. I simply consider this operation an opportunity for me to enrich my experience and broaden my horizons with the grand elder.”

Even elder Xiao Xihe had died in the Domain of Nether Heaven, which was enough evidence of how dangerous this operation would be.

At this moment, Jing Feiyang and many others were seeking breakthroughs in their cultivation. Jing Feiyang’s wife had to stay in the Divine Seal Sect to oversee things, and make sure no one would disturb Jing Feiyang’s breakthrough.

The help his Void domain subordinates would be able to provide him in the Domain of Nether Heaven would be very limited.

They might not even be able to protect themselves from disciples of the Nether Spirit Society.

Furthermore, the disciples of the Nether Spirit Society were well-versed in evil soul magics. Once they were killed, they wouldn’t even have a chance to be reborn.

He had only become a Son of the Stars recently, and still had yet to build up his forces. He didn’t want to lose the mainstays of his forces on this trip to the Domain of Nether Heaven.

Therefore, after bidding farewell to Fang Yuan, he returned to the vast area of the starry river between the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries to recover that special bone.
