Chapter 1038: Turbulence Across All Domains (1/2)
Nie Tian suddenly remembered that Mo Qinglei, who he had met in the Shatter Battlefield, was the son of the Heavenly Thunder Sect’s sectmaster.
Back then, he had gone through dangers with him, and eventually had to part ways with him and let him fend for himself.
Now that years had passed, he still didn’t know whether he had escaped from Yuan Jiuchuan or not.
“You know the Heavenly Thunder Sect, don’t you?” Yang Fan asked with a surprised look on his face. “I thought you did. After all, Mo Qianfan, the current sectmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, is your grand elder’s cousin. It’s just that from what I’ve learned, Mo Heng doesn’t have much contact with Mo Qianfan or the Mo Clan anymore.”
“Mo Qianfan is Grand Elder Mo Heng’s cousin?” Nie Tian asked, looking surprised.
Instead of answering right away, Yang Fan spread his soul awareness through the starry river in an attempt to establish communication with the ancient starships from the Heavenly Thunder Sect.
After a while, Yang Fan’s eyes snapped open. “Mo Qianfan is on one of the starships!”
Only then did he turn to Nie Tian and explain, “The Mo Clan is a powerful and prosperous clan that has influence over a large area. Even though Grand Elder Mo Heng is from the Mo Clan, since he didn’t show any specific cultivation attribute as a kid, the Mo Clan didn’t attach much importance to him. Meanwhile, his family was only a side-branch of the large Mo Clan. And since no one in his family had made any significant achievements before him, his family had stayed low for a long time.
“In fact, he didn’t have a happy childhood in the Mo Clan.
“Only until one year, when a high-ranking member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace accidentally saw his cultivation talent and brought him back to sect, did he show his unique potential and soar to prominence.
“As he gradually grew stronger and stronger in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Mo Clan reached out to him.
“However, he didn’t accept their offer.
“Later, when he entered the God domain and became the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Mo Clan intended to cling to him and name him their clanmaster, but he declined again.
“So even though Mo Qianfan, the current clanmaster of the Mo Clan and sectmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, is his cousin, they haven’t had any contact with each other in many years.”
Even juniors like Lou Hongyan and Huang Jinnan didn’t know the story between Mo Heng and the Mo Clan, it was only natural that Nie Tian knew nothing about it.
Only after hearing Yang Fan’s explanation did Nie Tian learn that because Mo Heng had declined the Mo Clan’s offers repeatedly, they had eventually named Mo Qianfan as their leader.
“Senior Qi, now that we’re out of the Domain of Nether Heaven, can you contact your headquarters?” Lou Hongyan asked in a low voice.
At this moment, the Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura was already nowhere to be seen.
The Void Spirit Society had a secret magic that allowed their disciples to communicate with their headquarters even though they were far away in the starry river. Lou Hongyan hoped that the Void Spirit Society would learn about the upheavals in the Domain of Nether Heaven at the first possible moment, so they would send powerful experts over.
Qi Lianshan smiled bitterly. “I need some time to recover my strength. It was very consuming to travel in that Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura.”
With these words, he took out spatial jades and started channeling the spatial power within them.
Nie Tian placed his hand on Pei Qiqi’s shoulder, and sensed that she was breathing regularly, and the flow of her qi and blood was stable, which meant she was just too weak to wake up at this moment.
“I’m going to take a while to treat her injuries,” Nie Tian said.
Everyone else nodded understandingly, and waited on the meteor in silence.
Wisp after wisp of flesh power fused into Pei Qiqi as Nie Tian treated her once again with Heavenly Wood Heal, using his wood power and flesh power.
It wasn’t long before five huge ancient starships approached them.
The ancient starship at the forefront took the initiative to slowly descend onto the meteor.
A man flew out of it. Wreathed in slithering lightning bolts, the man indeed had similar looks as Mo Heng. He took a glance at the crowd and asked with a surprised expression, “You are?”
The important figures took turns to introduce themselves.
“Lou Hongyan from the Five Elements Sect.”
“Huang Jinnan.”
