Chapter 1320: Turning Realms (1/2)

Both Nie Tian’s subordinates and friends started to feel they couldn’t see through him, as if he was full of mysteries.

“Gupi...” Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society brought up the topic while the atmosphere was heated.

The clamorous hall suddenly fell silent.

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Ji Yuanquan said, “Sorry, I didn’t want to put a damper on things. However, Gupi is like a fish bone stuck in our throats. It’s a great threat to humanity. If we can’t take care of it soon, I’m afraid that riots might even break out in our domains.”

Yu Suying, Mo Qianfan, Xie Qian, and the other experts remained silent, looking deeply worried.

Even though their realms hadn’t been ravaged by Gupi, who could tell what would happen in the future?

What would they do if Gupi laid its murderous hands on their realms one day?

Someone or some force had to step up and stop it from doing whatever it wanted, and plaguing one domain after another.

WHOOSH!

Ye Wenhan from the Heaven Span Pavilion stepped into the meeting hall, and was surprised to see that everyone was silent.

“We were discussing Gupi,” Ji Yuanquan explained.

Suddenly enlightened, Ye Wenhan turned to Nie Tian and said explicitly, “As you know, the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and our sect’s strongest experts are all away at the moment. We tried to stop Gupi with various spiritual incantations and tools. However, nothing really worked. We couldn’t even eliminate the toxic miasma it released.

“Also, if we had a solution, we wouldn’t have paid such close attention to you and the Realm of Maelstrom.

“And we wouldn’t have learned that the Phantasms were planning to sneak into the Domain of Forbidden Heaven to seek trouble with you so fast.

“We’re truly at our wits’ end now, Nie Tian. That mysterious talisman of yours and your master’s time power are the only two things we know that will work on Gupi.”

They had expressed their attitude perfectly clearly, which was that they hoped that Nie Tian would contain Gupi and stop it from plaguing humanity, or find a way to get in contact with his master, Wu Ji.

In fact, they had already paid a substantial price for him to do this.

All of the ninth grade Ancientbeast and outsider corpses Jing Feiyang had brought him had come from them. They had also promised that as long as Nie Tian agreed to take care of Gupi, they would find ways to persuade their elders to let them scoop more of those items out of their sect vaults to give to him.

Nie Tian pondered for a while before leveling his gaze and saying with a frown, “You’ve made yourselves perfectly clear. I fully understand.”

“However, I can’t give you an answer now. Given my current strength, I don’t know if I can seal Gupi. I need some time to learn more about its abilities and myself. Would you go find your sect’s records about Gupi for me, the more detailed the better.”

Ye Wenhan nodded. “Sure.”

Without delay, Ji Yuanquan, Ye Wenhan, and the few Saint domain elders of the Five Elements Sect exited the hall, leaving only Nie Tian’s forces in the hall.

“What do you say?” Nie Tian asked, looking at them.

“Gupi is far too dangerous. I think that since it hasn’t come for us, why should we go after it now?” Master Blood Spirit took the initiative to express his opinion. “As long as it doesn’t come to our domains, we may want to leave it alone. It’s better if you go after it when your cultivation base and bloodline reach a certain level, and you’re confident in your ability to defeat it.”

Jing Feiyang chimed in. “I think he’s right.”

The others then took turns to weigh in.

Nie Tian listened for a long while, and discovered that the majority of the experts from his subordinate domains advised against going after Gupi, at least for now, since the risks were simply too high.

Xie Qian, Yu Suying, and Mo Qianfan, however, suggested that he might want to give the matter serious consideration, and try to frustrate its unscrupulous attacks on the condition that his own safety was guaranteed.

Eventually, Nie Tian said, “Let me take some time to think about it.”

“Zhang Qiling, Li Wanfa, and many other Saint domain experts are waiting to see you,” Qu Mingde said.

“Tell them that I’m not seeing anyone now,” Nie Tian said.

Qu Mingde, Quan Zixuan, and Jing Feiyang expressed that they understood.

...

In the Domain of Green Woods.

Like a thin veil, grayish green miasma enveloped a realm that had been exuberant and full of life.

The realm’s name was the Realm of Green Sea.

As one of the most famous realms of the Domain of Green Woods, it was covered in dense forests and the weather was mild year-round, which had made it a blessed land for cultivators who practiced wood incantations.

Now, after Gupi had plagued it and left, it had become a land of dead silence.

Poisoned by Gupi’s toxic miasma, the vegetation in the Realm of Green Sea started to mutate. Even the realm’s structure started to change, gradually turning the Realm of Green Sea into an ideal place for Fiends to live in.

FIZZ!

A spatial rift appeared out of nowhere under the effect of some spatial treasure.

WHOOSH!

A tall Fiend with green skin and emerald pupils flew through the spatial rift.

The flesh power he exuded seemed to instantly form a harmonious relationship with the toxic miasma in the Realm of Green Sea.

As soon as he stepped on this land, millions of poisonous bugs flew out of his palm, along with innumerable toxic bacteria.
