Chapter 1141: Doubts (1/2)

In the space disruption zone.

Zhao Shanling explained what they had seen in that strange heaven and earth on their way back.

The rivers of blood, the hybrids bathing in them, the burial grounds where corpses were being refined, and the Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes that lived together...

Pei Qiqi chimed in occasionally at first, but gradually fell silent.

Confusion, doubts, and fear slowly filled her eyes.

Nie Tian and Dong Li gasped with astonishment after hearing Zhao Shanling’s description.

“A brand new world where hybrids and members of other races live together in peace?!”

“Cardy’s corpse is being refined into a Heavenly Corpse?! More ninth grade grand patriarchs like Cardy are waiting to be refined?!”

“That secret force is indeed behind all this!”

They were sure that if they brought this news back to the four great sects, it would shock the entire human world.

Even the outsider and Ancientspirit worlds would be shocked as well.

Soon, Nie Tian discovered that Pei Qiqi was being unusually quiet.

He slowly approached her and asked with a concerned tone, “Senior Martial Sister Pei, are you... are you upset because you didn’t find clues of the Void Palace Sect?”

Zhao Shanling turned to take a deep look at Pei Qiqi and asked, “Did you feel something in there?”

Pei Qiqi recovered from her daze. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Yes, I felt a stir in my bloodline. But it didn’t come from the realm we went to, but another one. Even though that realm was extremely far away, that feeling was clear.”

Overjoyed, Nie Tian asked, “So does it mean that the origin of your bloodline lies in that realm?”

“If what I suspect is true, the Void Palace Sect has moved to that realm and started their new lives there,” Pei Qiqi said with a very complicated look in her eyes. “Perhaps my family is living there too. It’s... It’s just that...”

“What?” Nie Tian asked.

“I don’t know if I should go meet them,” Pei Qiqi said, looking deeply bothered.

Hearing her words, Nie Tian suddenly went blank.

“I could tell that the hybrids there were manufactured,” Pei Qiqi said, lowering her head. “All of those hybrids bathing in blood rivers were like Han Sen, results of some massive production. I, I’m not even sure what I am anymore. Did I come from there too? Was I a product ordered by someone in the Void Palace Sect?

“Those vile sects like the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Nether Spirit Society, and the Death Curse Sect. They plagued numerous domains and killed countless people. My master told me about their horrible deeds. They simply made me boil with anger!

“If my parents were indeed part of them, or I’m just another product like Han Sen...

“I don’t know how I’m supposed to face my late master and the master who’s giving me so much care.”

Pei Qiqi seemed torn.

Nie Tian fell silent as well, his expression flickering.

These worries of Pei Qiqi’s had never occurred to him before. Now that Pei Qiqi had given voice to them, he felt suddenly enlightened.

He was a hybrid as well. His mother was from the Realm of Flame Heaven, and had a clean background.

However, he knew practically nothing about his father.

What if his father was also a member of that secret force?

That secret force was clearly hoping to overthrow the rule of humans, outsiders, and Ancientspirits, and change the landscape of the entire starry river. If that was true, then he would be stuck in the middle. Where would his loyalty lie?

Would he stand with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, or his parents?
