Chapter 1226: A Thorough Examination (1/2)

Utterly isolated, Wu Zhuri and Qi Jiaoyang knew what kind of fate they would suffer if they continued to stay in the Primal Yang Sect.

Therefore, they shot up into the heavens.

Mo Qianfan let out a derisive smile. “Wanna run? Without the protection of the Primal Yang Sect’s grand spell formation or Pang Chicheng’s aid, you really think the two of you can escape from me?”

His dharma idol then soared into the heavens as well.

Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian looked up with rapt attention. Seconds later, he discovered that Mo Qianfan’s dharma idol caught up with Wu Zhuri and Qi Jiaoyang like a bolt of lightning piercing through two suns.

Before Mo Qianfan’s recent breakthrough, his cultivation base had been the same as Wu Zhuri’s. His actual battle prowess might have been even lower than Wu Zhuri’s.

However, things had changed completely now that he had entered the God domain.

Everyone on the ground could see Mo Qianfan’s dharma idol unleash his God domain might to form a sea of lightning and thunder that engulfed Wu Zhuri’s fire domain in an overwhelming manner.

At the same time, engulfed in raging lightning, the drops of golden Blood Essence released by Qi Jiaoyang exploded violently, giving rise to countless sparks.

“It won’t be long before Wu Zhuri and Qi Jiaoyang are captured alive and brought back here.” With this thought, Nie Tian withdrew his gaze, and beckoned for Ning Ji from the Primal Yang Sect to approach him.

Ning Ji scooted over, full of respect. Stopping three meters from the Star Boat, he lowered his head and said, “As an elder of the Primal Yang Sect, I didn’t go all-out to stop Wu Zhuri when he colluded with Pang Chicheng, a traitor of the Five Elements Sect. I’m guilty...”

By confessing voluntarily, he hoped Nie Tian and Fang Yuan would forgive him.

However, his respect, fear, and trepidation were mainly for Nie Tian.

He only took a couple of quick glances at Fang Yuan.

A bitter feeling filled Fang Yuan’s heart, as he understood that since he had been defeated by Qi Jiaoyang under everyone’s gazes, the Primal Yang Sect and many other forces from this domain would never have heartfelt respect for him anymore.

From now on, the elders and disciples of the Primal Yang Sect, represented by Ning Ji, would only revere and fear Nie Tian.

With all seriousness, Nie Tian turned to Fang Yuan and said, “Senior Martial Brother, the mission of putting down the Primal Yang Sect’s rebellion was originally given to you. So why don’t you decide what you want to do with them? Wu Zhuri and Qi Jiaoyang’s fate will be yours to decide too, after they’re captured and brought back here.”

“I...” Fang Yuan wanted to say something, but gave up on second thought.

“It’s settled then,” Nie Tian said before he could finish. “I consumed too much power in my battle against Qi Jiaoyang. I need some time to recover and adjust myself.”

“I can make arrangements for you if you’ll just come with me,” Ning Ji hastily said.

“There’s no need for that.” Nie Tian waved his hand, signaling for him to stop catering to his needs, but instead wait for Fang Yuan’s orders.

Afterwards, he talked to Mo Li, Mo Qinglei, and the other Mo Clan and Heavenly Thunder Sect members, instructing them to obey Fang Yuan while he was gone.

WHOOSH!

He then turned around and flew off into the distance, leaving his Star Boat to Fang Yuan.

As soon as he did, the raging fireball left the fallen Primal Yang Heavenly Grand Formation and followed him away.

After a while, he stopped in a remote corner of the baked desert far from the Primal Yang Sect’s headquarters.

BOOM!

The fireball exploded, revealing the vigorous, spirited flame spark within it.

At the same time, the Flame Dragon Armor assumed its flame dragon form in front of Nie Tian, only much smaller than it should be.

After pondering for a few seconds, Nie Tian summoned the Star Behemoth bone as well.

“Flame spark, Flame Dragon Armor, Star Behemoth bone...” Nie Tian ran his eyes over them before deciding to communicate with the Flame Dragon Armor first. Without even resorting to soul communication, he simply asked, “Since you’ve regenerated your fleshly body and come back to life in a real sense, what do you plan to do next?”

The flame dragon that was only three meters long and looked like a fire serpent said in the human language, “Umm.. if you don’t mind, I’d like to continue to stay by your side.”

In a sincere way, it added, “My name is Agaz. That Felix you met in the Dead Star Sea was my older brother. Our father is Baptista, the high chieftain of the flame dragon race. I was playful when I was younger. I went to many human domains through spatial tunnels without permission, where I did things as I pleased and didn’t think about the consequences.

“As a result, I was killed. After being stripped of my blood, bones, and soul, I was refined and forged into the ‘Flame Dragon Armor’ by Shao Tianyang through a secret technique.

“Neither Lou Hongyan nor Pang Chicheng were able to resurrect me or help me rebuild my fleshly body. Only you could...”

After explaining his identity and his father’s status in the dragon race, Agaz went on to say that staying with Nie Tian would be helpful to the further upgrade of his bloodline.

Furthermore, the suit of armor still had secrets that he had yet to solve.
