novelA Silver Domain Snake
| ← Ch.1132 | Ch.1134 → |
A half snake-like half dragon-like spatial creature charged out from within the expanding spot of light.
Like the insect, it also glowed with silver light.
Naturally-formed patterns covered its silver body, as if they were engravings that carried the profound truths of spatial power.
Exceptionally thick and long, it slithered forward, seeming as if it was moving between different spaces.
"What is that?" Nie Tian asked, his expression flickering.
"That's a Silver Domain Snake!" Pei Qiqi said with a grim expression."Do you still remember that three-headed demonic python that was Catie's pet?"
Nie Tian nodded."I do."
"It was a hybrid of a Silver Domain Snake and a demonic creature from the Demon realms, " Pei Qiqi explained."The fact that it carried a Silver Domain Snake's bloodline was the reason why it was able to keep ahead of me in the Domain of the Falling Stars. However, space disruption zones are where they thrive.
"After all, this is where they're born."
As they spoke, the Silver Domain Snake stared coldly at them from afar.
It seemed to have its eyes on that silver insect, as well as Pei Qiqi's Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure.
However, it seemed to shrewdly sense something in Pei Qiqi, as it suddenly fixed its eyes on her. A mixture of confusion, astonishment, and fear filled it eyes.
SHEW!
To everyone's surprise, the Silver Domain Snake gave up its prey and slithered into the depths of the strange clouds.
It was as if something had scared it.
Eyes narrowed, Zhao Shanling said with a bewildered expression, "Even I would have a headache over running into a Silver Domain Snake in a space disruption zone. That one was at least at the eighth grade. An eighth grade Silver Domain Snake might not be so formidable in any other place. But in space disruption zones, it might be able to kill ninth grade spirit beasts and outsider grand patriarchs."
"When it looked at me earlier, it seemed to have caused a stir in my bloodline, " Pei Qiqi said in a soft voice.
Zhao Shanling's expression flickered with astonishment."Don't tell me you scared it away?!"
Pei Qiqi shook her head."I don't know."
"That silver insect was clearly its target or, to be exact, its prey." Zhao Shanling analyzed, frowning."You took its prey but, instead of charging towards you, it left right away. This can only mean that it was afraid. However, there's no reason for it to be afraid of any of us, except you."
Dong Li snorted disdainfully and jumped in."It's only a spatial creature. Now that it's gone, there's no point fixating on it. Let's talk about what we should do with Yuan Jiuchuan instead."
Bitterness filled Yuan Jiuchuan's face as he sagged his head and begged, "Why don't you just leave me here and let me fend for myself?"
"We certainly can't do that, " Dong Li refused coldly."If we free you, you may get in contact with Pang Chicheng, join that secret force, and then come after us in revenge."
Yuan Jiuchuan sighed and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"Nie Tian, can you restrict his soul in any way?" Dong Li asked.
"Well..." Nie Tian suddenly remembered the time when he had put a restrictive spell on Master Blood Spirit's soul with the help of the Spirit Pearl."There is a way. However, he'll have to cooperate a hundred percent. If he refuses, the success rate would be minimal."
Dong Li gave Yuan Jiuchuan a sideways glance."You'll cooperate, right?"
The Thunder Devil looked very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, " Dong Li said in a direct and nonchalant manner."We'll lift the spell as soon as we're finished here in this space disruption zone. This is only a precaution. Or we can simply destroy your Saint domain, along with your chance at entering the God domain. So what do you say?"
The Thunder Devil let out a deep sigh and nodded reluctantly.
However, at that moment, the Silver Domain Snake somehow returned.
Someone had returned with it: Feng Beiluo.
As the sectmaster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, he had slain Cardy the Blood Warden not long ago in the Domain of the Falling Stars. Everyone had assumed that he would stay off the grid for some time. Who would have thought that he would show up here?
The Silver Domain Snake looked very docile as it coiled up next to him.
He spotted Nie Tian upon arriving. Eyes widening, he let out an unrestrained laugh and said, "It's you! Who would have thought that I'd run into you here so shortly after our last encounter? Did someone tell you something that led you to this place?"
Instead of answering, Nie Tian asked, "What are you doing here?"
In his senses, Feng Beiluo's aura had become even more overwhelming than the last time they had met.
It had only been two years or so since their last encounter in the Domain of the Falling Stars. Could it be that he had made a new breakthrough in his cultivation with the help of Cardy's corpse, which he had harvested?
He had been at the late Saint domain the last time they had met. If he had indeed made a new breakthrough, then...
The God domain!
"I came for the Thunder Devil." With these words, Feng Beiluo smiled and made a grabbing motion in the air.
In the next moment, the numerous spatial lights that Pei Qiqi used to chain up Yuan Jiuchuan's domain shattered.
Spots of pale gray light appeared and flew around within Yuan Jiuchuan's domain, easily neutralizing Pei Qiqi's restrictive power.
In a split second, Yuan Jiuchuan recovered his mobility.
His eyes lit up. A hint of viciousness appeared at the corner of his mouth as he called out, "Senior! I came here to meet you under Pang Chicheng's instructions. I want to join you with all my heart!"
Feng Beiluo nodded and said in a soft voice, "The incantations you practice are quite special, and you show a lot of potential. Otherwise, we wouldn't have provided those materials for you, allowing you to return to the Saint domain. Don't worry. Given your rare talent and quick mind, I have confidence that you'll have a bright future with us. You may even be able to enter the God domain one day."
Thrilled and thankful, Yuan Jiuchuan bowed towards him. Then, he jerked his head towards Nie Tian and the others."These ones..."
Feng Beiluo pondered briefly before saying, "The Silver Domain Snake will take you out of here first."
As soon as he said these words, the spatial creature prepared to lead the way for Yuan Jiuchuan. Yuan Jiuchuan wanted to say something, but gave up upon receiving a stern sideways look from Feng Beiluo.
He then left with the Silver Domain Snake as he was told.
During this time, Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi, Zhao Shanling, and Dong Li all remained motionless and silent.
Even though Feng Beiluo hadn't really done anything after his appearance, the pressure he gave everyone was simply too great.
As strong as Pei Qiqi and Zhao Shanling were, they felt so much pressure from him that the thought of fighting him didn't even cross their minds.
Only after Yuan Jiuchuan left with the Silver Domain Snake did Feng Beiluo take his time to ask, "So why are you here, Nie Tian?"
"There was this sect in the Realm of Split Void called the Void Palace Sect, " Nie Tian answered."Many years ago, it moved out of the Realm of Split Void and vanished completely. We came here hoping to solve the mystery of its disappearance and see if we can find it here."
"Oh, the Void Palace Sect..." Feng Beiluo muttered in a low voice, nodding."I'm surprised you came looking for it."
Pei Qiqi's expression flickered strongly as she heard these words.
Nie Tian's eyes widened as well as he hastily asked, "Is it really here?"
"No, not here. However, there is an entrance here that connects to the heaven and earth where the Void Palace Sect is now." With these words, Feng Beiluo fixed his eyes on Pei Qiqi."It's you, right? You're the one who has connections with the Void Palace Sect."
