Chapter 1622: Intrigue (1/2)

Pei Qiqi looked confused.

As Nie Tian’s Blood Essence stopped flowing into her body, she suddenly had a strong sense of loss.

Pei Qiqi was suddenly upset, thinking, “Has he reached his limit, or is he going to give up on me?”

For a while, she just looked at Nie Tian in a daze, and didn’t know what to say.

Dong Li looked flabbergasted.

She was also rendered speechless by Nie Tian’s unusual behavior. She had complained simply out of jealousy that Nie Tian had used his precious Blood Essence to help Pei Qiqi break the seal.

She had been well-aware of it, so seeing Nie Tian have a strange look, she had hurried to defend herself.

However, when Nie Tian really stopped delivering Blood Essence to Pei Qiqi’s body, she calmed down instantly, but also became more and more confused.

Why did Nie Tian do that?

“I’m sorry for wasting so much of your Blood Essence,” said Pei Qiqi, her bright eyes growing mournful. “Thank you for helping me fight off the Voidspirits pursuers.”

As she spoke, she got up slowly and summoned her Space Boundaries Crystal.

Her face grew cold as she continued, “It’s not a big deal even if my bloodline is sealed. With my human cultivation base, I can still use the Space Boundaries Crystal. Since I have no reason to stay in the Spirit World anymore, maybe I should go back to the Void Illusion Mountain Range. That’s where I can feel the most at ease...”

Nie Tian and Dong Li could see clearly how disheartened she was.

Nie Tian was stunned, and then suddenly realized that she had misunderstood him. He put his hand on her shoulder.

Pei Qiqi quivered slightly and turned to stare at his hand. “What are you stopping me for?”

Nie Tian took a breath and said in a very serious voice, “Senior Martial Sister Pei, don’t get me wrong. As I told you, you’re in fact fine. The seal on your bloodline should be temporary. Also, with all due respect, why did you know that you should come to me for help?”

“My father told me before he died that only your flesh aura could break the bloodline seal,” Pei Qiqi answered.

A hint of a strange smile played on his lips. “Pei Yukong... Senior Martial Sister Pei, your heart is too pure. You know nothing about intrigues and maneuvers.”

She looked confused. “What?”

Dong Li’s expression changed, and she understood things instantly, “There’s something suspicious with the seal on her bloodline, right Nie Tian?”

“The third generation of Tree of Life has just had a brief soul communication with me,” Nie Tian replied.

Thinking for a while, he began, “Senior Martial Sister Pei, when I injected my flesh power into your body in a bid to help you break the seal, a part of it offset the unusual spatial power and merged into your fleshly body.

“Not only my flesh power, but also the unusual spatial power constructing the spatial barrier merged into your body.

“They can actually help you temper your body and make your flesh strong.

“You’ve felt that yourself, haven’t you?”

He fixed his eyes on Pei Qiqi.

She didn’t deny it. “Yes. When you hit my acupoints in an attempt to reopen them, the sputtering flesh power and unusual spatial power both merged into my flesh. I could vaguely sense that my flesh was becoming stronger, and that my veins and bones were being tempered to carry greater strength.”

“But that’s only a part of it. Most of my flesh power...” he slowly said. “Most of my flesh power has mysteriously disappeared. It seemed to disappear in your acupoints, while in fact, they flew to another realm through a very powerful spatial spell. The Tree of Life believes that most of my lost flesh power is now in the ancestral land of your race, the Voidspirits’ territory.”
