Chapter 1031: Reunion (2/2)

He flew to another area of the dark starry river, where he saw a large piece of starship debris.

Apparently, it had drifted to this place after Nie Tian had split the Demon starships with the Star Behemoth bone.

“This is from a shattered Demon starship. Did a battle take place in this area?” Zou Qing went blank for a moment before flying off again. After circling around in the vicinity for a bit, he found even more Demon starship debris.

Baffled, he returned to Sikong Cuo’s side and said in a low voice, “Master, I think a battle broke out in this area while we were fighting the Bonebrutes.”

“Spread out and see what else you can find!” Sikong Cuo ordered.

He summoned his Star Boat and jumped on board, shielding off the mixed energies in the starry river with his domain.

Since all of his surviving subordinates were at the Saint domain or late Void domain, they could all soar freely under the protection of their domains in the starry river.

Therefore, they spread out to look for things worth noting.

After searching for a while, Zou Qing and the others returned to Sikong Cuo’s side and reported what they had found with confused looks in their eyes.

“There’s a lot of debris that seems to be from shattered Phantasm starships.”

“Who destroyed those Demon and Phantasm starships?”

“Since there aren’t any Demon or Phantasm corpses around, someone must have taken them away.”

“But where did they go? They didn’t leave any traces behind.”

Sikong Cuo also seemed rather confused as he said, “Perhaps those Demons and Phantasms were summoned by the Bonebrutes. Earlier, when we were fighting Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher, I noticed that he would look into the starry river from time to time, as if he was waiting for something. I suppose he was waiting for these Demon and Phantasm reinforcements.

“But who killed them? Also, if people were here killing these Demons and Phantasms, they should have been able to sense our battle against the Bonebrutes.

“This is odd...”

With these words, Sikong Cuo suddenly fixed his eyes on Fan Wen and said suspiciously, “Did you not receive any messages from other elders of your sect? I know that your sect has a secret magic that allows you to communicate with each other within a domain.”

Fan Wen shook her head. “I joined the battle myself. I didn’t have a chance to sense this heaven and earth to receive any messages.”

“Forget it.” Sikong Cuo waved his hand, urging Fan Wen to take them to the edge of the Domain of Nether Heaven so that they would be able to get out of this mire as soon as possible.

“I won’t be able to get you to the edge of this domain by casting Void Travel just once,” Fan Wen said. “I can only get you there bit by bit.”

Looking rather impatient, Sikong Cuo said, “Do what you can then.”

Fan Wen started casting the spell.

...

The Domain of Nether Heaven covered a vast area of the starry river. Even Pei Qiqi couldn’t reach the closest location on its perimeter in a single attempt.

She had to cast Void Travel three times in a row to get Nie Tian and Huang Jinnan to a dead realm on its perimeter.

Standing on the dead realm, they gazed ahead, and couldn’t see another realm.

Behind them were the numerous dead realms they had crossed to get to this place.

“This is as far as I can take us,” Pei Qiqi said, looking somewhat depleted. “I’m afraid we’ll have to rely on my Voidheaven Boat to get out of the Domain of Nether Heaven. Only after I get my strength back will I be able to cast Void Travel again.”

Apparently, their plan concurred with Sikong Cuo’s. Considering that the Domain of Nether Heaven had been sealed by multiple outsider grand patriarch flesh auras, they had to find ways other than Void Travel to escape.

As powerful as they were, those grand patriarchs weren’t omnipotent. Their flesh auras grew thin after they spread them over the entire domain, and they couldn’t stop air-transportation spiritual tools like the Voidheaven Boat from crossing the domain border.

“Are Sikong Cuo and his men behind us?” Huang Jinnan asked.

Pei Qiqi nodded. “Yeah, even though Elder Fan’s cultivation base is much higher than mine, she can only cast Void Travel once. From the look of it, the outsiders won’t be able to find us here, unless they have hidden teleportation portals in this area. We’re safe for now.”

Therefore, the three of them left the dead realm and flew towards the domain border on the Voidheaven Boat.

Days passed...

Pei Qiqi suddenly sprang to her feet. The light of excitement flickered in her eyes as she said, “A spatial rift has split open in the vicinity. It must be one of the elders from my sect!”

She immediately cast a secret spell.

“It’s Elder Qi!” Pei Qiqi exclaimed softly. “He got Lou Hongyan here!”

“My senior martial sister!” Huang Jinnan exclaimed in high spirits. “Are they far from here?”

“No.” Comprehending his thoughts, Pei Qiqi steered the Voidheaven Boat in another direction, and headed towards the new arrivals.

Before long, they reached Lou Hongyan and her team’s location. Huang Jinnan saw her from afar, and his expression flickered. “How come you only have this few people left on your team? What happened?”

“I can’t believe you’re still alive!” Lou Hongyan exclaimed with a sad look in her eyes.
