Chapter 277: Secret Stronghold Under the Creek (1/2)
At dusk, when they reached the foot of an unknown mountain, Pei Qiqi said to Nie Tian, “This is it”
Upon hearing her instruction, Nie Tian i ly since he had parted ith shi+ Qing At thisout the last bit of his spiritual power in his spiritual sea
Even if Pei Qiqi hadn’t instructed him to stop, he would have had to ask for a time-out and find a place to recuperate
Pei Qiqi’s words happened to coincide with his intent
A creek was running at the foot of the mountain The water was so clear that the stones at the bottom of the creek could be seen
In this area, the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was rather faint, and there weren’t any spatial rifts Everything was still and quiet
Nie Tian used his Heaven Eyes to scan the area, and didn’t discover any signs of life This area was rather siathered and cultivated star pohich had been fully explored and wasn’t often visited by cultivators
Pei Qiqi took a deep breath and pointed her slender finger towards a location in the creek as she explained to Nie Tian, “This is the place Put away your jade bracelet as we sink into the water Take your time to descend to the bottohold under the creek Once we’re in, we’ll be safe for a while Even Li Langfeng won’t be able to find us”
Nie Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up
He remembered earlier that when he, Pei Qiqi, and Cai Yuan were running away from Ma Jiu and his men, Cai Yuan had led them to one of the Blood Skull’s secret stone rooe
That stone room had been sealed off from the outside world by a special ward that only Qi warriors at the Worldly realher would be able to detect Furthermore, there was a spell formation that had allowed Cai Yuan to communicate with his friends at the Blood Skull’s base
Since the Blood Skull had explored and garrisoned the Void Illusion Mountain Range for a long tiion of the e However, as far as Nie Tian knew, their locations weren’t even revealed to common members of the Blood Skull
This was because once their locations were exposed to their enereat loss
Just like Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi was also only a guest elder of the Blood Skull, which didn’t even make her a formal member
That meant she shouldn’t have the clearance to know the locations of the secret strongholds the Blood Skull had set up in the Void Illusion Mountain Range
Pei Qiqi seeh Nie Tian’s confusion She raised herself up with her hands and straightened her upper body with great difficulty before explaining, “Cai Yuan shared a lot of the Blood Skull’s confidential inforinally thought that I would never get a chance to use one of their secret strongholds in the Void Illusion Mountain Range
“As a e for years, and not once have I used one of their secret strongholds I’ve never been injured as badly as I a will come after us I can only rinned “Wow, Lord Cai is indeed alord of the Blood Skull, by telling Pei Qiqi, an outsider, the locations of their secret strongholds, Cai Yuan had obviously broken their rules
However, Nie Tian had long since noticed that Cai Yuan had deep feelings for Pei Qiqi, so it was understandable for hiirl of his heart
Nie Tian’s teasing tonehi too much into my words,” Nie Tian replied hurriedly
“It’s exactly what you’re thinking!”
“No, it’s not! Seriously!”
“Then why are you laughing?”
“Uuy?” Pei Qiqi pondered in silence for a while before nodding and saying, “Yeah, perhaps He has indeed been good to me But make no mistake, Cai Yuan isn’t foolish I’ve done a lot for the Blood Skull too If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have cared less if Cai Yue died in thatdo” Nie Tian didn’t reply directly Instead, he warned Pei Qiqi, then stepped into the creek and headed towards the location she had pointed out to him
As soon as they were both underwater, he put away his jade bracelet
Pei Qiqi’s gared in the creek, it seeh she had used her hands to separate her upper body frohs and lower abdo closely to Nie Tian’s waist
She could clearly feel that the feeling of her skin against his had given rise to ripples in Nie Tian’s heart, and his un to wander
Without her jade bracelet to protect her, Pei Qiqi was also holding her breath under the water Cheeks bulging and eyes filled with anger, she stared at Nie Tian from behind
It was at that moment Nie Tian’s feet touched the bottom of the creek He looked down and found that there was a smooth, stone plate under his feet
A uest elder identity
A cluster of precious light eed from within the medallion, and a scarlet Blood Skull pattern could be seen within the shi+ht
In the next ht shot into the smooth, stone plate
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The stone cracked, and an opening appeared, over which there was a spiritual poard that see As soon as the cluster of light, with a Blood Skull pattern within it, made contact with the ward, a secret spell forently patted Nie Tian’s shoulder, signaling hio
