Chapter 1703: Void Spirit! (1/2)

The old man dressed in the cyan shirt was obviously Ji Cang.

The Magnetic Star Crystal was glowing in his palm.

Ji Cang must have been handsome when he was young, but he was now extremely haggard and gaunt, without any amazing star aura coming out of his body.

The weakness of his soul was also reflected in his eyes, which were dim.

Taking a deep breath. Nie Tian bowed humbly to him. “I’m Nie Tian. Nice to meet you, sectmaster.”

“Do not call me sectmaster. Just call me uncle.” Ji Cang said with a smile. “Everyone thinks I don’t get along with your father, but Mo Heng and a few others know about my real relationship with your father. Your father and I have never really had any bad blood.

“I’ve secretly visited the Doomed Star Sea many times over the years, and I’ve helped your father fight the races of the Void World.

“He and I have been guarding the Mortal World in covert and overt ways. As the sectmaster of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, I suppress the outsider races of the Spirit World, and make sure they don’t march through the Dead Star Sea to invade us on a large scale. He, on the other hand, fights against the three outsider races of the Void World in the Doomed Star Sea.

“We’ve always been in touch. Our connection has never ended.

“A Stargate manifesting in the Domain of the Falling Stars, you becoming a Son of the Stars, and you going to the Domain of Forbidden Heaven. All these were our arrangements for you.”

Ji Cang smiled and told Nie Tian that there was indeed a power behind the scenes that had helped him successfully become a Son of the Stars.

Nie Tian was astonished.

He had thought it had been Qin Yao, his biological father, who had secretly arranged things to happen for him, but he hadn’t expected Ji Cang to be involved.

What made him more surprised was that Ji Cang and his father weren’t sworn enemies as the rumors had said.

Instead, they were bosom friends.

“You..?” Nie Tian wanted to ask something, but suddenly saw Dong Li’s expression change, and the dark power of the Dark Aureole started to surge.

The dark shield of light seemed to be hammered by a variety of invisible energies, causing huge dents to appear in it!

The black tortoise squeaked.

“Here it comes again,” Ji Cang said with a sigh. “The attacks will not stop until the gate of the Dark Abyss is opened.”

He looked up and saw the gorgeous lights sealing the passage. Then he saw that broken bodies fell through and were reduced to blood mists, “It shouldn’t be too long...”

Nie Tian’s pupils shrank as he fixed his eyes on Dong Li. “What is it?”

Speaking, he stepped forward and intended to plunge into Dong Li’s dark shield of light.

He was puzzled. He had been standing here for a while now, with Ji Cang next to him. However, neither he nor Ji Cang had been attacked. Why was Dong Li being attacked?

What puzzled him even more was that he couldn’t perceive the power that was attacking her with his soul or bloodline.

This was very strange!

He had never imagined that there were powers in the three worlds that his soul and bloodline couldn’t perceive.

Even if they were special energies that he had never seen before, as long as they existed and had attacked Dong Li, how could he not perceive them at all?

Dong Li exhaled, her face relaxing a little. “It’s over.”
