Chapter 1181: People Are Alarmed (1/2)

Guan Cong gasped with astonishment.

Under Xie Qian and Master Blood Spirit’s leadership, Saint domain experts spread around the three starships.

As Master Blood Spirit trapped the starships with a huge net of blood-colored light, Xie Qian drew power from his domain and surrounded them with countless drops of sparkling water.

Each and every drop weighed tons, as they were unique drops of heavy water that Xie Qian had refined from lakes on a foreign heaven and earth.

Guan Cong knew that first of all, it was unknown whether they would be able to rip the bloody net apart if they forcibly started the starships. Secondly, even if they could rip through the bloody net, they would still meet strong obstruction when they slammed into the countless drops of water.

If the two late Saint domain experts went all-out to stop them, it would be impossible for their starships to leave in one piece.

Not to mention that several early and middle Saint domain experts, along with Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi, were eyeing them like tigers from a farther location.

Only after a while did Guan Cong submit to reality and say bitterly, “The vice sectmaster will preside over justice for us!”

The Qi warriors behind him, who were also Luo Wanxiang’s subordinates, secretly let out sighs of relief.

“Okay, I’ll wait for Vice Sectmaster Luo right here. I believe he’ll soon receive word of what’s happened here and come without delay.” With these words, Nie Tian gave Master Blood Spirit and the others a meaningful look, and then flew to the vast floating meteor.

As they left, Guan Cong snorted disdainfully. “I can’t wait to see how you’re going to explain the fact that you harbor the Blood Spirit Sect’s residual evil!”

Hearing this, Master Blood Spirit jerked his head towards him, scarlet light shooting out of his blood-colored pupils.

Even though they were both at the late Saint domain, Master Blood Spirit’s glare made Guan Cong tremble with fear, and realize that he had better be quiet.

He could only place all of his hope on Luo Wanxiang.

Inside a grand hall in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s headquarters.

Wei Lai’s expression flickered with astonishment as he said to Yan Zhan, who had a worried look on his face, “What?! Nie Tian has returned from the Shatter Battlefield? And he made Guan Cong prisoner instead upon his return? Didn’t he know that he’s Vice Sectmaster Luo’s subordinate?”

Yan Zhan smiled bitterly. “How could he not know?”

Wei Lai also had a headache over the situation as he said, “Master Blood Spirit is indeed a residual evil of the Blood Spirit Sect, and he’s different from Master Bloody Despair. Master Bloody Despair chose to leave the Blood Spirit Sect, and made significant contributions in its elimination. For this reason, he was pardoned by the major sects, and allowed to have his place in our world.

“Master Blood Spirit, however, had always been cultivated as the future sectmaster of the Blood Spirit Sect. His title alone represents the head of the Blood Spirit Sect.

“As for that Li Langfeng, it seems that he practices peculiar incantations that involve corpse toxins. However, it’s not necessarily right to say that he has connections with the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Despite this, it’s safe to say that the incantations he practices are crooked.

“To stay out of trouble, all Nie Tian had to do was to deny that he had anything to do with Master Blood Spirit and Li Langfeng.

“However, instead of doing that, he chose to resort to force upon his return, which has made things much more complicated.”

Yan Zhan sighed. “Most importantly, the grand elder isn’t here. Do we go there too, so that we can keep things from getting out of hand?”

“Of course! We have to go!” Wei Lai said with certainty.

...

In a secluded location in the starry river, Chu Rui, who was also a vice sectmaster, was also astonished by the news. “Nie Tian returned and imprisoned Luo Wanxiang’s subordinates?”

However, after pondering in silence for a few seconds, he chuckled softly. “This is actually interesting. It seems I’ll have to go there myself.”

With these words, he turned to a man next to him and instructed, “Tell Wang Meijia to go too. Since Mo Heng is still missing, I wonder what gave Nie Tian the courage to confront Luo Wanxiang face-to-face. If he’s just going to argue, he doesn’t seem to have much to argue with...”

After muttering for a while, Chu Rui, who was rather chubby, headed towards a large-scale teleportation portal.
