Chapter 1622: Intrigue (2/2)
“What?” she exclaimed.
“I had a talk with the Ripper Behemoth after your father took you away,” he said with a solemn face. “It said your father had been badly injured and was going to die soon, and that it was because he thought he was going to die that he took you back to the Voidspirits to pass all of their bloodline legacies to you.”
Pei Qiqi was deeply bewildered. “Is there a connection between that and this?”
Dong Li snorted, her face darkening. “Despicable! I don’t know how Pei Yukong knew that Nie Tian’s Blood Essence had infinite wonders, but I believe that Nie Tian’s Blood Essence must have flowed to the Voidspirits.”
“He probably wants to see if my Blood Essence can keep him alive,” sighed Nie Tian.
No matter how muddle-headed Pei Qiqi was, she realized something was wrong after listening to their words. “Do you mean all of this is my father’s idea? Why? Why would he do that?”
Dong Li, who had a quick mind said, “He wants to live, and every drop of Nie Tian’s Blood Essence is incomparably precious! His condensed Blood Essence is based on the deaths of many grand monarchs! You should know how precious a drop of his Blood Essence is. Nie Tian is willing to spend his hard-earned Blood Essence for you, but he might not be willing to help your father.”
Dong Li gave voice to all her guesses one by one. “Now, some of the Blood Essence that Nie Tian used to hit your acupoints helped you temper your body, but most of it went to the Voidspirits imperceptibly. His intrigue is really well-thought-out!
“Moreover, as long as your bloodline seal isn’t broken, Nie Tian will do everything possible to refine more Blood Essence to help you. In this way, your father will get more Blood Essence.
“The only part that raised my suspicion was that he told you to find Nie Tian, and said that his bloodline would help you break the seal.
“It is a pity that he didn’t expect there to be an existence like the Tree of Life in the Realm of Middle Continent where Nie Tian is. Even if it’s still growing, the third generation of Tree of Life has amazing senses.”
Pei Qiqi listened quietly, and her expression kept changing.
After a while, she felt so upset that she looked at Nie Tian for help. “Nie Tian?”
Nie Tian sighed. “I don’t think the third generation Tree of Life is mistaken; most of my Blood Essence didn’t enter your acupoints. If your father wanted my Blood Essence to prolong his life, he could have told me. Considering our relationship and the fact that he killed Xuan Guangyu, I would have agreed to help. However, he...”
Pei Qiqi looked a bit helpless. “I… I can’t believe it.”
Pei Yukong had taken her away, taken good care of her among the Voidspirits, and passed on blood magics to her, making her feel the warmth of fatherly love.
It was what she had longed for all her life.
However, now Nie Tian and Dong Li suddenly told her that her father had used her to steal Nie Tian’s Blood Essence, which totally overwhelmed her.
Before fleeing from the Voidspirits’ ancestral land, she had seen her father die fighting Duru so that she could escape.
Nie Tian hesitated for a while, and then said, “The seal on your acupoints and your bloodline isn’t real. The Tree of Life said that if you were in a perilous situation, your soul would surge and remove the so-called seal quietly.
“He doesn’t harbor malicious intentions towards you.”
“However, it’s very difficult for me to break your seal. But if you want to break the seal yourself, all you have to do is put yourself in danger.”
Nie Tian said these words in a whisper.
“I see,” Pei Qiqi said.
She went blank for a moment before spinning her Space Boundaries Crystal, ready to leave. “I’m going to verify your theory.”
“Senior Martial Sister Pei, where are you going?” Nie Tian asked in amazement.
“I’ll go to the Void World through the Seven Stars Realm Sea,” Pei Qiqi replied. “The Void World is the only place in the world that can put me in danger.”
