Chapter 1488: Declare War (1/2)
The people of various advanced domains and sects like the Heavenly Illusion Sect, Streamcloud Sword Sect, and Martial Spirit Sect discussed the sensational news.
“Nie Tian killed Grand Monarch Chaos Demon!”
“It’s said that Nie Tian came to a tacit agreement with the Ancientspirits and Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims!”
“Nie Tian will go find Shangguan Zhi in the Shadow Society in three days!”
“What? They’re going to fight the Shadow Society?!”
“Are they out of their minds?”
“The Shadow Society is allied with the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect. How can they possibly fight You Qimiao and Xuan Guangyu?”
“Even if Nie Tian can kill Grand Monarch Chaos Demon, he can’t possibly defeat You Qimiao or Xuan Guangyu in battle!”
“This is the moment when we most need unity. Whatever the reason, it’s unwise to fight the Shadow Society at this time.”
Many people were shocked that Nie Tian was able to kill Grand Monarch Chaos Demon, but they also thought it was inappropriate for him to go seek trouble with the Shadow Society.
After all, those who were known to be on the Shadow Society’s side included Xuan Guangyu, Shangguan Zhi, Song Chequan, Duan Hongwen… and You Qimiao!
The Realm of Heaven Span had been destroyed, but even the Heaven Span Pavilion led by Fan Tianze hadn’t marched down to the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect to fight You Qimiao to the death. How did Nie Tian dare to challenge him?
As word of Nie Tian’s decision spread, even the God domain experts of the four ancient sects tried hard to dissuade him.
Unfortunately, Nie Tian, who was wrapped in the blood membrane, turned a deaf ear to it.
Hence, everyone understood his determination.
...
In the Shadow Palace.
SWISH!
A shadow abomination suddenly flew out of the stone wall of the spacious palace and intto Shangguan Zhi’s fingertips.
Messages were passed to his mind one by one.
Shangguan Zhi smiled sinisterly and said to Song Chequan and Duan Hongwen next to him, “Nie Tian actually wants to come here to settle scores with us in three days.”
In a flash, Duan Hongwen and Song Chequan, who had been sitting quietly, sprang to their feet. “Nie Tian!”
Shangguan Zhi looked quite calm as he said, “Xie Qian’s death and the fact that you attacked Master Blood Spirit in the Realm of Flame Heaven must have angered him, but even if he could kill Grand Monarch Chaos Demon of the Demons, does he really think he can do whatever he wants in our Shadow Society?”
He let out a low cry.
In the palace, innumerable shadow abominations that were wandering in the walls seemed to sense his anger as they let out shrieks that could penetrate souls.
Shangguan Zhi then said with a snort, “Our sect’s strength is only outmatched by the four ancient sects. For thousands of years, the Shadow Society has never been conquered! Now that all the peak God domain experts are missing and Fan Tianze, whose battle prowess was outstanding, is seeking a breakthrough in his cultivation base, I can’t think of anyone who’ll end well after attacking our sect.”
“What about Chu Rui?” Song Chequan asked softly.
“Him?” Shangguan Zhi said, looking surprised. Then, he shook his head and said, “He is not as strong as Fan Tianze, and is even weaker than Luo Wanxiang.”
“Shall we inform Xuan Guangyu?” Song Chequan asked.
“We won’t need his help,” Shangguan Zhi said calmly, “at this stage, I don’t think Nie Tian can mobilize many experts to besiege our Shadow Society. After getting the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir, Yu Suying went into secluded cultivation to break through. She won’t be able to help.”
Duan Hongwen looked hesitant as he said, “My sectmaster...”
“What on earth is Sectmaster You up to?” Song Chequan asked curiously.
Duan Hongwen shook his head. “I don’t know. It’s clear that he still has some Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir left, yet he didn’t give me any to help me break through.”
