Chapter 1254: An Uproar (1/2)

Word of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect barging into the Domain of Heaven Python and spilling blood soon spread across the human domains.

Heated discussions took place in many major sects and clans in the advanced domains.

“What?! Monk Goldbone from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect spilled blood in the Realm of Maelstrom?”

“That can’t be right! Isn’t the Realm of Maelstrom a subordinate realm of Nie Tian, the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace? Is the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect crazy? This is a slap in the face for the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!”

“Nie Tian is a Son of the Stars after all!”

“But the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace seems to be in a very bad place right now. Chu Rui is trapped in the Domain of Frigid Depths. Ji Cang and Mo Heng are still missing. Luo Wanxiang is in a prolonged session of secluded cultivation. It’s said that the sectmaster of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect entered secluded cultivation years ago, and has been seeking to enter the middle God domain. Even so, they have another God domain expert.”

“The Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s reserve power is second only to that of the four great sects. I guess they actually have what it takes to challenge the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace in this unrest they’re facing.”

“Nie Tian seems to have been assigned to some task elsewhere. Where is he now?”

“I wonder whether he and the Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of Heaven Python will yield to the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect eventually.”

“Who knows?”

...

In the Water Moon Sect’s territory in the Domain of Vast Darkness.

Under the crescent moon, ships that were as large as mountains could be seen sailing among islands in a boundless rippling sea.

The beautiful, densely-vegetated islands seemed to be located in a particular formation.

A forest of palaces stood towering on one of the islands. It was the headquarters of the Water Moon Sect.

“Sectmaster Xie...” Seated at Xie Qian’s command, a Void domain Qi warrior from the Domain of Vast Darkness sighed in deep frustration before relaying what he had experienced in the Realm of Maelstrom.

The Water Moon Sect was the leader of the sects and clans in the Domain of Vast Darkness.

At this moment, the leaders of those minor sects and clans had all teleported to the Water Moon Sect’s headquarters, where they kept silent after taking seats in the grand hall.

Every single one of them looked grim.

“That’s all that happened.” The man who had witnessed the abrupt appearance of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s starship and Monk Goldbone injuring Meng Li and killing a junior from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect in the Realm of Maelstrom was a middle Void domain disciple of the Soul’s Retreat Sect named Yu Fusheng.

Due to the Water Moon Sect’s friendly relationship with Nie Tian, the Domain of Vast Darkness was directly connected to the Realm of Maelstrom. For this reason, Yu Fusheng had been able to go to the Realm of Maelstrom to trade for spiritual materials and tools.

He hadn’t expected that he would be there to witness the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s intrusion.

An early Saint domain expert straightened his back slightly to look Xie Qian in the eyes and asked, “If the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect is bent on going to war with Nie Tian, what should we do?”

Standing solemnly behind Xie Qian, Xie Wanting and Xie Yunhai listened attentively.

At this moment, Xie Wanting stepped forward and said in a pleasant voice, “Martial Uncles, Seniors, our sect has formed an alliance with Nie Tian, hasn’t it? Being allies means we’ll advance and retreat together, right? Now, the Domain of Heaven Python is in a crisis. Don’t tell me that, as their ally, we’re just going to sit back and watch.”

Many leaders of the local clans and sects were shamefaced after hearing these words.

However, they then thought of the possible result of them going against the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, and the shame rapidly faded from their faces.

Receiving others’ urging gazes, the Saint domain expert reluctantly turned to Xie Qian again. “Big Brother Xie, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is on the decline. You should be aware of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s strength and reserve power. However, we don’t even have a single God domain expert. We’d be courting death if we plunge into a battle against the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect.”

Many others nodded in agreement.

Sitting in the host’s seat, Xie Qian ran his eyes over the faces of every sect and clan leader that was present.

After pondering in silence for a while, he took his time to say, “My sect is going to honor our alliance. As for you, I won’t force you to join us on our trip to the Domain of Heaven Python. The decision will be yours.”

Upon hearing that Xie Qian wouldn’t force them to do go, many local sects and clans of the Domain of Vast Darkness expressed that they had no intention of sending their experts to the Domain of Heaven Python as the Water Moon Sect would.

“Sorry, Brother Xie. We don’t want to be a part of this messy business between the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect.”

“It’s not that we don’t want to help, but it’s just that my sect doesn’t even have any Saint domain members. We’d be courting death to go.”

“We don’t think we’re going to the Domain of Heaven Python either.”
