Chapter 1089: An Odd Thing (2/2)

Who would have thought that the sect would learn about his recent breakthrough and deem him qualified to join the battles in the Dead Star Sea?

Nie Tian had promised Xie Qian that the two of them were only allies, not master and subordinate.

Therefore, he didn’t have the right to demand that Xie Qian and his Water Moon Sect experts march into the Dead Star Sea with him.

Furthermore, after his recent trips in the three Demon realms, he wasn’t particularly interested in joining the fierce battles in the Dead Star Sea.

With a thoughtful expression, Wei Lai added, “There’s one more thing. I detected a few wisps of faint Demon qi around the edge of the Domain of the Falling Stars. Clearly, your actions in the three Demon realms angered the Demons.

“However, their most powerful experts are currently caught up in battles against us in the Dead Star Sea.

“So they sent a few eighth grade Demons to the Domain of the Falling Stars.

“The forbidden region separating the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries has already transformed and become accessible. So even without those spatial rifts, they found a way into the Domain of the Falling Stars.

“You’d better watch out, and don’t let Demons swarm into the Domain of the Falling Stars and turn it into hell.”

Nie Tian nodded gratefully and left.

On his way back, he wracked his mind, but still found the fact that a few Demons actually found another way to enter the Domain of the Falling Stars baffling.

“Those Demons...” With that question in mind, he returned to the Realm of Split Void.

He saw Hua Mu as soon as he entered the palace in the Realm of Split Void.

“What are you doing here, Uncle Hua?” Nie Tian asked curiously.

“A girl from the Blood Sect had a message for you,” Hua Mu explained. “Dong Li is currently busy stabilizing her cultivation base, and no longer has time to handle the affairs in the Domain of the Falling Stars. And you sent Li Langfeng off to that remote area, along with the entire Blood Sect, so he’s not available to handle the messy business for you either. I had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.”

“A girl from the Blood Sect? Who?” Nie Tian asked.

“Yu Tong.”

Nie Tian was even more confused. “Oh, I remember her. What does she want?”

“She had a message for you from someone named Master Blood Spirit,” Hua Mu answered.

“Master Blood Spirit?” Nie Tian’s expression flickered with surprise.

After he had helped extend his lifespan, Master Blood Spirit had told him that he would leave the Domain of the Falling Stars so that experts like Wei Lai wouldn’t discover him.

His destination was a dead realm in the remote region where Li Langfeng and the Blood Sect disciples were currently holed up.

“According to the message Yu Tong brought, a few mutilated Demon corpses were found in the starry river where the Domain of the Falling Stars borders the forbidden region. From how the corpses looked, Master Blood Spirit suspects that it was the doing of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, which is said to be another sect deemed crooked by the four great sects.

“I haven’t even heard of such a sect. At least it’s not a sect from the Domain of the Falling Stars. I wonder what made Master Blood Spirit think it was the Heavenly Corpse Sect who killed those Demons.”

Hua Mu looked baffled.

“Master Blood Spirit... is on my side,” Nie Tian said. “But I have nothing to do with the Heavenly Corpse Sect. And I don’t know why they killed those Demons. I suppose those Demons came to the Domain of the Falling Stars through another way to figure out who invaded their realms and what they looted.”

With a confused expression, Hua Mu said, “But the Heavenly Corpse Sect showed up and killed them, which is in our favor. I wonder why they did it.”

“Beats me.” Nie Tian didn’t seem to attach much importance to the matter.

With these words, he left for the Realm of Shattered Earth via the teleportation portal in the Realm of Split Void.

It had been a long time since he had last seen his grandfather, Nie Donghai, and aunt, Nie Qian. He missed them and wanted to see how his family was doing these years.

In the Realm of Shattered Earth...

Nie Qian was both shocked and overjoyed to see him. “Little Tian, you’re back! I always dream about your and your mother lately. It’s like she’s still with us.”

“I think she’s still alive,” Nie Tian said in a low voice.

A shudder ran through Nie Donghai. “What?! She... She’s still alive?! How is that possible?! I watched her die and buried her myself!”

Nie Qian was also flabbergasted.
