Chapter 1126: Revisiting An Old Haun (2/2)
Upon seeing him, Zhao Shanling tilted his chin and let out a cold harrumph.
The two martial brothers had secretly competed against each other over the years. Now, it seemed that Zhao Shanling had won by entering the late Void domain and becoming the strongest cultivator in the Domain of the Falling Stars.
The man had held a bad name before. However, since he had become close to Nie Tian, people rarely talked about the things he had done anymore.
Now, as Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars talked about him, there were usually more remarks of respect than remarks of despise.
Qi Bailu sighed inwardly and turned to ask Pei Qiqi with a surprised expression, “What brings you here, kid?”
Zhen Huilan was his junior martial sister. When Pei Qiqi had returned last time, other than Li Ye and Hua Mu, she had paid him a visit as well. Only after that had she gone to the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
“We’re going on a trip to a space disruption zone,” Pei Qiqi answered.
“Do you want me to go with you?” Qi Bailu offered.
Zhao Shanling gave him a cold look and said, “Don’t butt in. We’re good. You don’t know a thing about spatial power. And it must have been difficult for you to enter the Void domain. You’d better stay home, instead of courting death by going to a space disruption zone with us.”
Qi Bailu, however, wasn’t angered by his provocative remarks, as if he was already used to it. He only fixed Pei Qiqi with an inquiring gaze.
“Thank you, but there’s no need,” Pei Qiqi said with a hint of warmth at the corner of her mouth. “I don’t intend to include lots of people before I confirm certain things. Otherwise, I would have asked my master to make arrangements for me.”
Qi Bailu nodded. “That’s right. Given your current status, you don’t need help from me anymore.”
Pei Qiqi was a bit rattled. “No, that’s not what I meant.”
Qi Bailu smiled. “I know what you meant. Don’t misunderstand. I’m truly happy for you and Nie Tian. I heard that Nie Tian defeated a powerful Demon in the Dead Star Sea. Meanwhile, you joined the Void Spirit Society and became one of the sectmaster’s legacy disciples. That makes me very happy too.
“The two of you are the brightest stars the Domain of the Falling Stars has ever seen.
“Who would have thought that a remote place like the Domain of the Falling Stars, which only has nine realms, would produce cultivators so brilliant that they were chosen by the four great sects.”
He was generous with his praise.
Standing beside Nie Tian, Dong Li listened as he said ‘the two of you’ over and over. Her face grew grim.
Dong Li rolled her eyes and gave Qi Bailu a stern look. “Let’s find that place as soon as possible. We’re still going to that space disruption zone, aren’t we?”
Qi Bailu was sensible enough to shut his mouth.
It was known that Dong Li was Nie Tian’s fiance, who had won Nie Donghai’s acknowledgment.
She had been a ticking bomb since the disastrous incident in the Dong Clan. If he continued with this, he was almost certain that she would give the Tool Sect tight shoes to wear in the future. (Idiom: make things hard for someone by abusing one’s power)
After all, Dong Li had been Nie Tian’s representative in all of his domains before she had gained the dark stone and needed to practice secluded cultivation.
BZZZ!
An hour later, the irregularly shaped crystal returned.
Pei Qiqi touched it, then said, “There actually is a discovery. It’s just that I’m not sure if it’s the entrance to that magical place with a Tree of Life.”
With a casual move of her hand, she split open a spatial rift.
Qi Bailu and those who came with him all gasped with astonishment. Without asking permission, they cheekily followed Nie Tian and the others into the spatial rift.
