Chapter 1279: Come See Me In Three Days!” (1/2)

Zhang Qiling from the Heavenly Spirit Sect shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, “This is very unwise. The sectmaster of the Shadow Society gave him great face by asking the Void Spirit Society to mediate.”

With a pitiful expression, Li Wanfa chimed in. “Given the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s situation, it’s actually not a bad choice for Nie Tian to become independent at this moment.”

Many observers from the other domains were also baffled after seeing Nie Tian refusing Hong Minghui’s proposal without hesitation.

They all reckoned that it would be wise for Nie Tian to accept it.

“Great! I wasn’t wrong about you!” Yu Suying from the Profound Purity Palace exclaimed. The corners of her mouth rose as her bright eyes shone in high spirits.

Hong Minghui burst into a flaming rage. “Nie Tian! How dare you defy our sect?! How dare you refuse to give our sect face, given the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s current situation?!”

At the same time, the Saint domain experts behind him spread out, wreathed in strong killing intent.

Nie Tian broke into laughter again and said, “Will you stop covering yourself with gold leaf, Hong Minghui? (Idiom: brag/prettify) Was I not clear enough? Neither you nor Xuan Guangyu can represent the Void Spirit Society! Only your master, Qu Yi, can!”

Hong Minghui let out a sharp cry and prepared to say something.

However, Nie Tian ran out of patience. “I said screw off!”

Under the control of the Primal Chaos, the glowing sphere with countless glorious layers started flying forward. “I won’t spare anyone who dares to stand in my way at this moment. Don’t blame me for it!”

A terrifying raging, twisting, and ripping aura instantly filled the violent magnetic field. Any Saint domain expert behind Hong Minghui who dared to touch it with their soul awareness let out a muffled groan upon doing so.

FZZZ!

A few fine lightning wisps flickered in the outer layers only for a brief moment before they were snuffed out.

Those wisps were the soul awarenesses Hong Minghui’s subordinates had secretly released.

Qi Lianshan’s expression flickered slightly. He hastily backed away and said with a wry smile, “Nie Tian, I only came here to mediate by order of our vice sectmaster. I mean no harm.”

It was Xuan Guangyu from the Void Spirit Society who had ordered him to join this trip.

Xuan Guangyu knew he was fairly close to Nie Tian, and had thus ordered him to take this trip with Hong Minghui while Qu Yi was unavailable.

Of course he didn’t want to sour his relationship with Nie Tian.

Nie Tian nodded. “Just stay out of my way then.”

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Hong Minghui and his men, and thundered, “Get out of my way! Now!”

“Let’s go!” No matter how furiously Hong Minghui screamed, his Saint domain subordinates grabbed him and dragged him into the spatial rift.

“Nie Tian! You’ll pay for this!” Hong Minghui’s loud threat echoed out from the gradually healing spatial rift.

Without even the slightest obstacle in front of him anymore, Nie Tian controlled the violent magnetic field to march on the Jade Heaven Sect under everyone’s gazes as they had planned.

As the glorious violent magnetic field dashed into the distance, a loud clamor burst through the berthed starships and gathered Void and Saint domain cultivators.

“Even Hong Minghui from the Void Spirit Society was forced to back out?”

“What choice did he have? How could he and his subordinates have stopped Nie Tian? Perhaps only Xuan Guangyu himself could.”

“This star of calamities is daring indeed. He simply doesn’t give anyone face!”

“This is like a slap across Xuan Guangyu’s face.”

...

In the starry river south of the Domain of Jade Heaven.

A blazing sun was emanating fierce light and heat. A man could be vaguely seen floating in the deepest part of the sun’s halo, where he seemed to be channeling the sun’s aura into himself as he grew taller bit by bit.

In a place not far from the sun, an ancient starship was bound by numerous heavy chains.

Each and every chain had been carved with countless talismans that were as small as flies. The talismans wandered along the chains, as if to capture and devour the dispersed wisps of soul awareness in their surroundings.

Xin Qing, Han Wanrong, and some disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace were sitting quietly on the starship.

From their point of view, they could see that the starship was actually enveloped in more than a dozen different spell formations, and that they were surrounded by countless hovering talismans that could annihilate their souls, and flames that would scald them upon contact.

All of them had their eyes fixed on the blazing sun, anticipation filling their faces.

“Zu Guangyao...” Han Wanrong let out a soft sigh. “Adversity can always bring out people’s potential. Otherwise, how could he come to brand new understandings about his incantations as we passed through this area, allowing him to break out of the shackles and fly to that sun to start his breakthrough into the God domain?”

“But it’s a rushed attempt,” Xin Qing said, looking deeply worried. “He didn’t dare to make an attempt to break through into the God domain for three thousand years. That’s because he didn’t think the time was right, and he wasn’t confident enough. The only reason why he decided to make this hurried attempt is because we’re under a lot of pressure from Song Chequan, and he was eager to break free from his control. It wasn’t something he wanted to do.”

“Our sect is at its most perilous moment. He didn’t have a choice,” Han Wanrong chimed in.

Song Chequan and many powerful experts from the Jade Heaven Sect had ambushed them on their way back from the Domain of Frigid Depths.

After the battle, Song Chequan had first sealed their starship with numerous powerful spell formations, and then towed it towards the Jade Heaven Sect’s headquarters for a thorough interrogation.

Song Chequan had only refrained from killing them because he hoped to learn the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s special cultivation techniques and secrets from them.

However, when they had passed by that blazing sun, Zu Guangyao, who had been sitting in silence, suddenly derived brand new enlightenment.

He had broken free and charged into that blazing sun, where he had immediately initiated an attempt to break through into the God domain, putting his own life at risk so that he might earn a chance to fight Song Chequan.

Song Chequan then had to rely on his God domain might to frustrate his attempt to break through into the God domain.

At first, Song Chequan had been surrounded by a large number of Saint domain disciples of the Jade Heaven Sect.

However, those Saint domain experts had later received some messages, and had left in a hurry.
