Chapter 1481: Grief (1/2)
In the Realm of Flame Heaven.
FZZZ!
A long bolt of lightning flashed across the sky before morphing into an enormous Thunder-devouring Whale that let out a furious cry in midair.
Engulfed in ink-black darkness, Song Chequan and Duan Hongwen, who were both at the God domain, realized that they couldn’t win this battle, and thus flew skywards in an attempt to escape.
In the blink of an eye, their dharma idols charged through the realm barrier.
They split up and disappeared into the boundless starry river.
In the headquarters of the Blood Sect.
Endless darkness shrank to a point like the ebbing sea.
Finally, every last bit of the darkness returned into Dong Li’s body, and the Dark Aureole disappeared.
Chilly moonlight fell from the sky, illuminating every corner of the heavily damaged headquarters.
The Thunder-devouring Whale shrank and took Mo Qianfan’s form before he landed in front of Dong Li. “I just went to the Domain of Vast Darkness. Xie Qian from the Water Moon Sect and many Qi warriors from the Domain of Vast Darkness were killed by Xuan Guangyu from the Void Spirit Society. Xie Qian died a violent death. Even his soul couldn’t be saved, and the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir was taken away.”
“Xuan Guangyu!” Dong Li said, gritting her teeth.
Master Blood Spirit, whose aura was slightly withered, took a deep breath and said, “You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect has the majority of the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, yet Duan Hongwen, Xuan Guangyu, and Song Chequan, who have close connections to him, came to rob us of ours instead of asking him for some?”
Pitch-black wisps of lightning sputtered from Dong Li’s eyes as she said, “Even though You Qimiao has the most Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, he might not want to share it with them. Now that he’s broken through to the late God domain, he won’t attach importance to anyone anymore. He even dared to provoke and attract the Ripper Behemoth to the Realm of Heaven Span. Who will he fear?”
Mo Qianfan let out a sigh and said, “The late God domain does generate great confidence.”
The late God domain represented the peak of human cultivation.
Having reached this cultivation base, You Qimiao was practically invincible in the current human world.
Even if other peak experts like Chu Yuan and Shao Tianyang returned to the human domains, though they might be able to defeat You Qimiao in battle, it would be very difficult for them to kill him.
If a cultivator at the same cultivation base as him was bent on killing him, they would have to pay a great price themselves.
Face filled with hatred, Dong Li said, “You Qimiao provoked the Ripper Behemoth and led it to the Realm of Heaven Span. This forced Chu Rui, Fan Tianze, and the other experts to focus on dealing with You Qimiao and the Ripper Behemoth.
“I wasn’t cautious enough. Because of my negligence, Senior Xie was killed, and you had a narrow escape.”
Not many of Nie Tian’s strongest followers had been killed; Xie Qian was the first late Saint domain follower Nie Tian had lost.
Many, including Mo Qianfan and Master Blood Spirit, sighed as Xie Qian’s name was mentioned.
They all knew that when Nie Tian had gone to rescue Fan Kai and the others in the Domain of Endless Snow, Xie Qian had provided him with strong assistance.
Later, every time Nie Tian had been in trouble, Xie Qian had also stood by his side or gone to his aid with disciples of the Water Moon Sect.
It was fair to say that Xie Qian had been devoted and loyal to Nie Tian.
Because of this, Xie Qian was the first name Dong Li had thought of when it had come to distributing the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir.
Even Master Blood Spirit, Yu Suying, and Mo Qianfan’s positions in her heart weren’t as high as Xie Qian’s.
Extremely regretful and harboring bitter hatred towards Xuan Guangyu, Dong Li bellowed, “We’ll have our revenge! Xuan Guangyu, Song Chequan, Shangguan Zhi, and Duan Hongwen, all of them shall burn in hell!”
“Could Sectmaster Yu be in danger?” Li Jing reminded her.
Mo Qianfan pondered briefly, then said, “Unlikely. Compared to the Water Moon Sect and the Blood Sect, the Profound Purity Palace’s reserve power is stronger. Their headquarters is protected by a divine spell formation left by their founders. Even Xuan Guangyu probably doesn’t have what it takes to break it. Even if he can break it, it’d take a very long time.”
Hearing this, Li Jing nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Suddenly, Zhao Shanling descended from the sky with the Voidspirit Pagoda floating over his head. “Tough bastards. I think we’d better stay put and wait for Nie Tian to return before we go after them.”
“Stay put?!” The ends of Dong Li’s eyebrows rose.
Xie Qian’s death had infuriated her. She was already thinking of how she should retaliate and make Xuan Guangyu suffer.
She even considered gathering strength and marching into Xuan Guangyu’s realms, even though those realms technically belonged to the Void Spirit Society.
“Duan Hongwen is with the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, and You Qimiao, their sectmaster, has now entered the late God domain.” Zhao Shanling analyzed. “You Qimiao alone is already hard to deal with. Not to mention that there’s also Xuan Guangyu from the Void Spirit Society.
“That man is a middle God domain expert in spatial power. Even after breaking through to the middle God domain, Yu Suying might not be able to match him in battle, much less us.
