Chapter 1412: A Perilous Situation (1/2)

In the Realm of Heaven Span.

The headquarters of the Heaven Span Pavilion, which was one of the four great sects that had jointly ruled the Mortal World for ages, consisted of numerous lofty pavilions that pierced into the highest heavens like divine swords.

A piece of land floated in the air in the midst of the lofty pavilions. On it was a square paved with cyan stones.

Large-scale inter-domain teleportation portals that connected to different domains and realms stood on the square.

At this moment, each and every one of them was running at full capacity, with disciples of the Void Spirit Society watching over them at all times, lest they encounter problems.

Qi warriors continued to arrive through them from various advanced human domains.

Most of them were Void and Saint domain experts, who would be arranged to set out to different battlefields upon arriving.

Qi warriors with lower cultivation bases, however, would be arranged to board different ancient starships that would take them to fight outsiders and Ancientspirits in different realms of the Domain of Heaven Span.

A well-dressed young late Saint domain Qi warrior was standing with a heroic bearing in the middle of the square, with a broadsword behind his back.

Many of the Qi warriors that arrived or left through this place would greet him by nodding towards him, whether they were from the Heaven Span Pavilion or not.

He wore a grave expression and didn’t utter a word. Only when he saw acquaintances would he nod slightly at them.

He was Shang Li, one of Chu Yuan’s stepsons. Compared to He Lianxiong, he had joined the Heaven Span Pavilion and won Chu Yuan’s approval earlier.

Years ago, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s reputation had plunged due to Ji Cang’s long absence and their repeated losses to the Demons in the Dead Star Sea.

Instigated by someone, Shang Li had then attempted to seize some of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s subordinate realms.

However, after Mo Heng had broken through into the middle God domain and defeated Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Ye Wenhan had approached and apologized to Mo Heng on behalf of the Heaven Span Pavilion, and punished the one who had instigated him.

One of Shang Li’s subordinates arrived through a teleportation portal and walked to his side. He glanced around at the Void Spirit Society disciples working on the square and said, “Master! Almost all of our realms in the Domain of Heaven Span have fallen into the Phantasms and Demons’ hands.”

Face grim, Shang Li asked, “What about He Lianxiong’s realms?”

“Things are better with his realms,” The man answered nervously. “Miss Pei cut off a fourth of the Realm of Common Heaven when she severed one of Grand Monarch Remote Demon’s arms with her invaluable spatial treasure, the Space Boundaries Crystal. I suppose it’ll be impossible to restore it to its original state.”

Shang Li’s eyes twitched as he said, “The Realm of Common Heaven!”

The Realm of Common Heaven was the realm Chu Yuan had specially assigned to him.

It was rich in a wide array of rare metals, many of which were necessary materials for forging premium spiritual swords.

Now, a fourth of it had been permanently destroyed because of Pei Qiqi and her Space Boundaries Crystal. It was only natural that he was upset.

WHOOSH!

Dou Tianchen from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace walked out of one of the teleportation portals and arrived in front of Shang Li in the blink of an eye. “I need to go to the front line where my junior martial brother Fang Yuan and junior martial sister Wang Meijia are holding. Would you arrange it for me?”

At this point, Dou Tianchen had already broken through into the early God domain with the help of the Heavenly Stellar Stream, the Immortal grade divine tool that had originally belonged to Sikong Cuo.

Shang Li from the Heaven Span Pavilion, who was in charge of this place, didn’t dare to slight him. He nodded and said, “I’ll arrange it for you right now.”

“Oh, right,” Dou Tianchen added, frowning slightly. “I heard that your Realm of Common Heaven was partially destroyed due to a battle between Miss Pei and Grand Monarch Remote Demon.”

Shang Li’s face grew grim. “So I guess everyone knows about it now.”

“Yeah, I just learned about it.” With a smile, Dou Tianchen suddenly leaned towards Shang Li, so close that he almost touched him.

As uncomfortable as this made Shang Li feel, he refrained from backing away. He looked at him and asked with a cold expression, “What do you want to say, Dou Tianchen?”

Dou Tianchen, who was slightly taller than him, looked down at him and said, “Nothing much. As you know, Shang Li, Miss Pei is my seventh junior martial brother’s dear friend. You’d better not try anything funny with her. I know perfectly well what kinds of things you’re capable of doing.

“Be warned. If you dare to stab her in the back, I’ll make you pay. I won’t care that this is the Heaven Span Pavilion.”
