Nie Li passed the day cultivating inside the painting. The Sky Origin Divine Clan experts also began cultivating their respective supreme techniques, as well as the God Array that Nie Li had given them.
Nie Li could sense that he was only a step away from the Heavenly Axis Realm.
Because he was cultivating the Heavenly God technique, his true strength was far beyond his current Heavenly Star Realm. Even an ordinary Heavenly Axis Realm might not be able to match him.
Furthermore, Nie Li was still circulating his fate star around his soul realm, causing his nine fate stars to grow brighter and brighter.
The brighter your fate star glowed during your Heavenly Star phase, the stronger youâd be upon reaching the Heavenly Axis Realm!
With so many Dao of Dragon Realm servants at his beck and call, Nie Li had nothing to worry about, maybe unless it was a Martial Ancestor Realm expert.
The Divine Feathers Sect
A chaotic battle broke out.
Long Yuyinâs Profound Note League originally controlled three Deityâs Lakes. In the area around the Divine Feathers Sect, that was considered a powerful force. However, they were suddenly assaulted by a group of mysterious experts, a few which were even Dao of Dragon Realm experts. Since Long Yuyin was temporarily away, the entire Profound Note League collapsed in an instant. There were tens of thousands of dead and wounded.
The Heavenly Path and Demon Leagues werenât going to simply sit by and watch. However, they also had many dead and injured from their own battles.
Anyone belonging to the Profound Note, Heavenly Path, or Demon Leagues would be killed the moment they left the Skysoul Institute.
A particular inn in the small town at the edge of the Endless Wilderness
Long Yuyin stood there, quietly. Compared to her past self, her current way of speech and action had a little more of a mature charm. Her curvaceous figure was extremely hot. A servant knelt before her and reported, âYoung Miss, our Profound Note League suffered an assault from a mysterious group. We suffered terribly and lost all three Deityâs Lakes!â
âJust whatâs going on? Was it Long Tianming?â Long Yuyin asked with her brows furrowed. She didnât care too much about losing those Deityâs Lakes; they were a trivial matter. Instead, she was more concerned about the identity of those people whoâd made the Profound Note League suffer so much so quickly. Of all the people in the Skysoul Institute, the only ones who had that sort of power were probably Long Tianming and Situ Beiyan. Long Yuyin knew that there were no grudges between herself and Situ Beiyan; therefore, the culprit was very likely Long Tianming!
Long Yuyinâs servant said, âReporting to the Young Miss, we still have yet to confirm! However, Long Tianmingâs subordinates arenât showing any movements. All of his experts are still accounted for!â
âCould it be Situ Beiyan then?â Long Yuyinâs brows furrowed for a brief moment.
The servant respectfully replied, âThere havenât been any movements from Situ Beiyan, either!â
Long Yuyinâs heart was filled with doubt. If it wasnât Long Tianming or Situ Beiyan, then who was targeting them?
âYoung Miss, thereâs one thing, but Iâm not sure if I should speak?â The servant said with hesitation.
âJust say it!â Long Yuyin said with a glance at the kneeling servant.
âThere was a Dao of Dragon Realm expert among those we fought. His cultivation technique seemed to be connected to the Demon Godâs Sect!â The servant reported with a crease in his forehead.
âThe Demon Godâs Sect?â Long Yuyin felt a chill in her heart.
Long Yuyin never thought of that possibility. If it really was the Demon Godâs Sect, then things were going to get much more complicated.
âHow certain are you that those people were from the Demon Godâs Sect?â Long Yuyin followed.
âIâm not absolutely certain.â The servant immediately shook his head and continued, âIt was only a vague feeling. There was something wrong with the other partyâs aura, but thereâs no concrete evidence. But those people are extremely strange in the way that they only target us. Theyâre also acting really cautious; they seem to be trying to hide something!â
Long Yuyinâs brows were tightly locked. This matter was strange indeed.
After Nie Li left, she and a few servants had chased after him. However, Nie Li had vanished without a trace and they couldnât find him, no matter how hard they tried. Afterwards, she heard that heâd reappeared in a small town on the border. Her servants followed up hastily.
Long Yuyin pondered for a moment, then issued orders to the servant. âYou, go back first. Continue investigating the ins and outs of those people. Iâll return in a few days!â
âYes!â The servant replied, then left.
A brief moment later, two Dao of Dragon Realm women walked in.
âYoung Miss, weâve obtained information on the Young Master. Heâs found a place in one of the small townâs local inns. Heâs also been purchasing large numbers of Sky Origin Divine Clan experts, on the order of hundreds!â said one of the women. She was still rather shocked in her heart, as she never imagined that Nie Li would possess such frightening wealth!
That was hundreds of Sky Origin Divine Clan experts with Dao of Dragon Realm cultivations. Furthermore, all of them were absolutely loyal!
Even the legendary Gods Craft Pavilion couldnât exchange so many spiritual stones for so many Sky Origin Divine Clan experts in such a short period of time!
Truly, the Miss had sharp eyes. If she were to marry the Young Master, itâd definitely be a huge benefit for her campaign to take over the Dragonseal Family.
Long Yuyin showed excitement at the womanâs words, and she anxiously demanded, âWhich inn? Take me there, quickly!â
âYes, Young Miss!â The woman replied.
Suddenly, a powerful aura surged over them.
The complexions of those two women instantly changed.
âYoung Miss, be careful!â The two woman shielded Long Yuyin and flew her out.
*Boom!*
A massive explosion resounded. The inn where theyâd been staying at, only a moment ago, had been instantly turned to ash!
The three figures turned into streaks of light as they flew away.
As the three of them fled, ten figures pursued.
A cold voice pierced the sky. âStop them, donât let them escape! Kill the two old ones and leave the small one behind!â
The ten men who were chasing Long Yuyin all wore black and had purposely hidden their faces. Two had strong cultivations and possessed shocking speed; it was clear that theyâd soon catch up. Based on how fast they were moving, they were certainly all Dao of Dragon Realm experts!
âAunt Xie, you guys go ahead!â Long Yuyin said anxiously.
The two women were Dao of Dragon Realm experts. Once a person reached the Dao of Dragon Realm, they absolutely could not afford to die! The moment they died, their souls would disperse and they would cease to exist!
âNo! We must take you with us! We promised Madam that we would protect the Young Miss!â One woman said firmly. She knew that their opponents were powerful and more prepared, but they still werenât going to leave Long Yuyin behind.
âBut Aunt XieâŚâ Long Yuyinâs expression betrayed her anxiousness. These two women were like family to her. How could she bear to watch them die?!
Long Yuyin herself was only a Heavenly Axis Realm; she knew she was a burden. If they insisted on protecting her, then the two of them definitely wouldnât be able to escape!
But before Long Yuyin could think things through, a berserk palm energy tore through the sky.
âTrying to run? Only if we agree to it! Hmph, hmph! None of you can escape!â That cold voice was like the bite of an ice-cold blade.
