Chapter 1130: A Hidden Force (1/2)

“I was in a very difficult situation when you first banished me to this space disruption zone,” Yuan Jiuchuan explained. “No matter what I did, I couldn’t find a way back, so I could only recover my spiritual power from time to time with the spiritual materials in my ring of holding.

“However, as time passed, I eventually ran out.

“I wasn’t sure how long I had drifted in this place when I finally came to the verge of giving up. But that was when I met someone.

“His name was Pang Chicheng. He used to be a disciple of the fire element sect of the Five Elements Sect.”

Nie Tian shuddered, his eyes filled with astonishment. “Pang Chicheng?! He’s the one you met?”

Yuan Jiuchuan was taken aback. “Do you know him?”

Nie Tian nodded. “I’ve never met him, but I’ve heard of him.”

Pang Chicheng had been the Flame Dragon Armor’s last master. He had stolen it from Lou Hongyan.

After that, he had been ambushed in the Shatter Battlefield, where he had had to ignite the Flame Dragon Armor’s power in order to escape. No one had ever seen him since.

Lou Hongyan and the Five Elements Sect seemed to have people looking for him all these years.

According to what Nie Tian had heard, Pang Chicheng had special connections with the fire element sect.

“For some reason, he fled from the fire element sect and was hunted by the entire Five Elements Sect,” Yuan Jiuchuan explained. “It seems that even the Five Elements Sect didn’t expect him to have escaped to this space disruption zone, where he lived for many years and joined some force.”

Since Pei Qiqi stayed her hand, the Thunder Devil’s lightning domain stopped showing more signs of collapse.

Zhao Shanling looked coldly into his eyes in an attempt to see whether he was telling the truth.

Nie Tian pondered briefly before asking, “Did he help you break through into the Saint domain? Why did he do that?”

“I reached the middle Saint domain in my previous life,” Yuan Jiuchuan explained. “Given enough spiritual materials, my breakthroughs are fairly easy to make. After learning my name, that Pang Chicheng asked me to wait for him. Then, he went off and returned with all sorts of spiritual materials and medicinal pills that I needed for my breakthrough. That was why I was able to return to the Saint domain in this damned place.

“He said that he helped me because the incantations I practice are special, and have many redeeming qualities.

“He then invited me to join the force he had joined, and told me that it represents the new world.

“According to him, that force has already enlisted many sects like the Nether Spirit Society, the Death Curse Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect, that have been expelled and suppressed by the four great sects.”

Even Yuan Jiuchuan himself had apprehension in his eyes as he said these words.

Nie Tian gasped with astonishment. “The Nether Spirit Society, the Death Curse Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect!”

The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was at the God domain. The sectmaster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, who he had recently witnessed slay Grand Patriarch Cardy in the Domain of the Falling Stars, was only one step away from entering the God domain.

Pang Chicheng was a traitor of the Five Elements Sect, who had managed to kill Lou Hongyan and steal her Flame Dragon Armor.

The Thunder Devil had been the nightmare of every cultivator and spirit beast that practiced lightning incantations in his previous life. Even now, his name was still feared across the human domains.

It seemed that this was a group of extremely violent and ferocious people. They either possessed formidable strength, or great potential.

If a force actually managed to gather all of them together, how scary would it be?

“According to Pang Chicheng, the formidableness of that force goes beyond my imagination,” The Thunder Devil added. “None of the four great sects can single-handedly match its power.”
