A group of people were being questioned by the Demon God Sectās experts. Once in a while, a human clan would conflict with a member of the Demon God Sect and get themselves killed.
Hierarch Blacknether had just suffered a setback from the Void Illusionary Divine Palace and was all the more furious. His subordinates were also running unrestrained. The slightest unwillingness to cooperate meant someone was going to be killed. Since they had Hierarch Blacknether backing them, what was there to fear?
Nie Li glanced into the distance, towards Hierarch Blacknether. With the presence of a Martial Ancestor Realm expert, escaping wasnāt going to be easy, even with Yan Yangās help.
What should he do?
Nie Liās brain started turning for ideas.
Yan Yang transmitted his voice to Nie Li, āThis Hierarch Blacknether is an extremely difficult person! However, he still has some fears that restrain him. I am the Holy Son of the Skyblaze Sect. He definitely wonāt take actions against me without thinking them through. However, that wonāt be the same for anyone else, especially for a Heavenly Fate Realm genius like you. Itāll get dangerous if you stay next to me. He wonāt touch me carelessly, but he might kill anyone around me, just to assert dominance.ā
The Skyblaze and Demon Godās Sects had been in conflict for years. But that was just between sects. The Martial Ancestor Realm experts of either sect werenāt going to start their own private wars for nothing. After all, the goal after reaching the Martial Ancestor Realm was only the reach the one above that. It would be unwise to exhaust their spirits for no reason! Unless it was for a direct conflict of interests for their sects, under normal circumstances, they would fear one another.
Killing the Holy Son of the Skyblaze Sect might cause the Martial Ancestor Realm experts of the Skyblaze Sect to take action against Hierarch Blacknether. Hierarch Blacknether definitely didnāt want that to happen. However, if it was only someone at Yan Yangās side, then Hierarch Blacknether had nothing to fear.
Nie Li said, āBrother Yan Yang, rather than waiting here, why donāt we take a risk? If I were to go by myself, itād definitely be much more dangerous. Those people from the Demon Godās Sect would definitely kill me. But if I go in behind you, then I might have a chance!ā
He was betting that Hierarch Blacknether wouldnāt pay any attention to them.
Yan Yang nodded his head after some pondering. It sounded plausible.
There was no way that Nie Li could leave, just by himself!
āWe have to be quick about it. If the Holy Son Li Huo comes out, itāll get troublesome!ā Yan Yang reminded. The Holy Son Li Huo was Hierarch Blacknetherās direct disciple!
The two of them flew towards the exit of the palace.
A 9-stage Heavenly Axis Realm expert from the Demon God Sect reached out and grabbed Yan Yang. āYou two! Stop where you are!ā
Yan Yang coldly snorted as a powerful energy shrouded his body. That 9-stage Heavenly Axis Realm expert bounced off with a *Bang!*, and he looked at Yan Yang in astonishment. After all, Yan Yang was only in the Heavenly Axis Realm, but the strength he possessed was already far above that guardās!
āHereās my stuff!ā Yan Yang tossed his items to the Demon Godās Sect expert with a flick of his hand.
The Demon God Sect expert furrowed his brows. If they were to go at it again, he knew he wouldnāt be Yan Yangās opponent. Thatād be extremely humiliating! He coldly snorted and looked over Yan Yang and Nie Li with a blank face. Neither of them had anything hidden on their person.
Then, he glanced inside Yan Yangās interspatial ring and his eyes lit up.
The Demon Godās Sect expert waved his hand. āAt least youāre tactful. Now, get lost!ā
Yan Yang and Nie Li lowered their heads and hurriedly walked off.
They felt a powerful intent sweeping over them and Nie Li felt suffocating pressure.
Hierarch Blacknether was examining them!
That powerful intent pulled away after a moment. Yan Yang had nothing with him and Hierarch Blacknether definitely couldnāt sense the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting within Nie Liās soul realm. Aside from that, Nie Li had nothing else with him. Hierarch Blacknether probably couldnāt be bothered to take action against a mere Heavenly Fate Realm like Nie Li!
After sweeping an eye at Nie Li and Yan Yang, Hierarch Blacknether looked away.
Since he didnāt want to kill Yan Yang, he simply pretend that he hadnāt seen them.
Wu Yazi furrowed his brows as he watched Yan Yang and Nie Li safely leave. He was confused. Did they really hand their things over so obediently?
That didnāt make any sense!
Nie Li definitely wouldnāt be that obedient! There had to be something fishy!
Wu Yazi remained silent for a brief moment. After a bit, he decided not to think about it. It didnāt matter what kinds of treasures Nie Li had left with; there was nothing that Wu Yazi could do. If Hierarch Blacknether or the Holy Son Li Huo found out about the Demon Blood Sacrifice, heād definitely be buried in an unmarked grave!
After Nie Li and Yan Yang had left the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, they flew away.
Half an hour later, the Holy Son Li Huo flew out of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace.
āMaster!ā Holy Son Li Huo slightly bowed towards Hierarch Blacknether, who was hovering in the sky.
The Hierarch Blacknether slightly nodded and inquired, āDisciple, have you harvested anything in the palace?ā
āReporting to Master! The mechanisms within the palace are extremely complicated with secret paths. Your disciple currently has no harvest!ā The Holy Son Li Huo responded rather gloomily. He didnāt dare inform his Master that heād been tricked by Nie Li. He would definitely lose face if that was known to others!
Hierarch Blacknetherās face was extremely ugly as he continued, āIāve already broken the barrier of the palace, but Iāve discovered nothing?ā
āMaster, did you see a few people earlier?ā The Holy Son Li Huo enquired.
āA few people? Who?ā Hierarch Blacknetherās knitted his brows.
āWu Yazi, Yan Yang, and two strangers!ā said Holy Son Li Huo.
āWu Yazi is inside the palace. As for Yan Yang, he left just now!ā Hierarch Blacknether said. āHeās the Holy Son of the Skyblaze Sect, disciple to that old fart. For the time being, I donāt want any trouble with that old fart!ā
Before, Hierarch Blacknetherās strength was already a hair lower than Yan Yangās masterās. And now, heād lost so much of his intent to those black flames. Thatās why he let Yan Yang leave.
Holy Son Li Huo immediately followed, āLord Master, they mightāve taken the treasures of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace with them!ā
Hierarch Blacknether shook his head and said, āThatās impossible. Thereās no way the two of them couldāve hidden anything from my eyes!ā
Heād already used his intent to search Nie Li and Yan Yang. He hadnāt found anything on either of them.
The Holy Son Li Huo said, āI donāt know whatās going on, but Iām fairly certain that thereās something fishy going on with Yan Yang!ā
Hierarch Blacknether knitted his brows and waved his right hand. An interspatial ring sailed towards Li Huo. āHereās Yan Yangās interspatial ring. Take a look.ā
The Holy Son Li Huo swept an eye over its contents and said, āItās true that thereās quite a few decent pieces in here, but Yan Yang has definitely hidden another portion of it. Master, please stop him! Donāt let him get away!ā
A chilling ray of light flashed through Hierarch Blacknetherās eyes as he frowned. So in this world, there still existed a method to hide things from his eyes! If thatās true, then heād definitely hunt those two down. Hierarch Blacknether coldly snorted as he turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.
