Chapter 1125: Choice (1/2)

In the Realm of Split Void.

After Pei Qiqi landed lightly in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, her irregularly shaped crystal appeared in her palm.

It flew off to shuttle among numerous spatial rifts in the sky.

“It’s not here.” Zhao Shanling’s voice echoed out in the distance.

In the next moment, he flashed into appearance like a bolt of lightning.

“The trace of the Void Palace Sect you found is not here? Then where is it?” With these words, Pei Qiqi made a grabbing motion in the air, and the crystal morphed into a streak of silver light that vanished into her palm.

“In a space disruption zone,” Zhao Shanling answered.

Pei Qiqi’s expression flickered with astonishment. “You, you found a trace of the Void Palace Sect in a space disruption zone? How is that possible?”

Zhao Shanling frowned slightly and said, “I’m not completely certain about it either. But I did find a magical land in the depths of that space disruption zone, where I managed to break through into the late Void domain. I appears that people once lived there. It’s just that since that place was full of danger, I didn’t dare to spend too long exploring it.”

After a short pause, he added, “But perhaps you can.”

Now, Pei Qiqi had entered the Void domain. Her bloodline had advanced to the eighth grade. On top of that, she had mastered the Void Spirit Society’s most profound and secret incantations, and held a Heaven Nourished grade spatial tool.

As arrogant as Zhao Shanling was, he had a very high opinion of her strength.

“Do you have time?” Pei Qiqi asked with an urgent tone.

“I do.” Zhao Shanling said. After a moment of hesitation, he added, “But I think we should invite another person to go with us.”

“Who?”

“Nie Tian.”

Pei Qiqi was taken aback. “Why him?”

“I trust him,” Zhao Shanling explained. “Since he’s even defeated Ophelia, he’ll be strong enough. Plus, I think he’ll be able to help. Not only is the spatial power very messy in that damned place, but it’s also full of other dangers.”

Pei Qiqi sighed. “I doubt that he’ll have time.”

The duel between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Mo Heng had attracted attention from the entire starry river. Many powerful humans, outsiders, and Ancientspirits had entered the Dead Star Sea to witness it.

Even though Nie Tian had just won a hard-fought duel, as long as he could, he would most likely go to witness that duel as well.

Zhao Shanling took a moment to ponder the matter before saying, “I have a feeling that this is the right time for us to go. The unusual environment is only part of the reason why I didn’t stay there for long. There’s another reason why I quickly got out of there.”

“What is it?” Pei Qiqi asked.

Zhao Shanling’s face grew grim as he explained, “I had a feeling that many powerful figures were paying close attention to that place. It was like many sets of eyes and wisps of soul awareness were fixed on it. However, when I returned to that region a few days ago, I discovered that there were much fewer strange auras there.”

Pei Qiqi’s eyes widened. “Are you saying that the eyes that were watching the place have disappeared?”

“Yeah,” Zhao Shanling said. “I suspect that the duel between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Grand Elder Mo Heng has distracted them.”

Pei Qiqi fell silent. A moment later, she said, “So you want me to find Nie Tian and ask him to go explore that place with us, instead of watching the duel between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Grand Elder Mo Heng?”

Zhao Shanling nodded. “I think that’s the right thing to do, but what do you say?”

“I...” Pei Qiqi was torn with indecision.

Seeing this, Zhao Shanling snorted a laugh and said, “That’s what I thought. I took the liberty to have Nie Tian’s subordinates send word to him. He should be receiving it any moment now. It’ll be up to him whether he’ll come to help you solve the mystery of the Void Palace Sect’s disappearance, or go witness the duel between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Mo Heng.”

“Who told you to do that?!” Pei Qiqi said angrily.

Zhao Shanling smiled without saying a word.

...

In the Realm of Remote Heaven.

Nie Tian had fully recovered the Blood Essence he had consumed with the help of the eighth grade outsider and Ancientbeast corpses.
