Dark realm.
After Nie Tian disappeared, Dong Li stayed around and refused to leave.
Not long after Zhong found her there and inquired about the movements of Nie Tian and the Soul Bead, her Dong Mingxuan, an uncle of the Dong family, also came looking for her.
Dong Mingxuan also asked the same question as Shen Zhong.
But even when facing the elders of the clan, Dong Li still chose to deceive him and told him that the Nether Soul Pearl was chasing Nie Tian.
Dong Mingxuan used his soul to sense the vicinity, but failed to detect any special life fluctuations.
Seeing that Dong Li was regaining her strength, Dong Mingxuan told her to be careful and left quickly.
Dong Li told him that once his strength is restored, he will leave the Dark Nether Realm.
Dong Mingxuan nodded and left, but Dong Li... stayed where he was.
A few days later.
Zhong Zhong, Dong Mingxuan and Zhou Ruyun searched the area carefully, but could not find the Nether Soul Pearl and Nie Tian.
Zhong Zhong and others searched to no avail and were still walking around in the Dark Realm without giving up, staying there for another half month.
Unfortunately, there is still no news from Nie Tian or Nie Tian.
In desperation, Zhong Zhong and others finally chose to give up and headed towards the cross-domain teleportation array they set up in the Dark Realm.
Soon after, the forces that poured into the Dark Underworld returned to the Hundred Battles Territory one after another.
The three heavy people also returned later, but they discovered that Dong Li did not return.
Dong Li never left the place where Nie Tian disappeared from the beginning to the end.
Time is like water, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Dong Li, who had recovered a long time ago, was hiding among the leaves of a huge ancient tree, practicing with spirit stones while waiting silently.
She always felt that Nie Tian would show up at some point.
During this period, she saw flying spiritual weapons from the Ghost Palace and the Flame Temple several times, flashing from the sky above her head. She also encountered several waves of searches by local Qi refiners from the Dark Nether Realm of Zhongtian Realm and Xiantian Realm. .
She was lucky. The qi masters who entered the mortal realm like Tang Yang did not set foot on her location to search, so she was not exposed for the time being.
But she still gradually felt uneasy.
In recent days, the local Qigong practitioners in the Dark Underworld have often appeared nearby. She felt that if she continued to stay here, she would probably be found.
She was already thinking about whether she should stop waiting and return to the Hundred Battles Territory first
For some unknown reason, she had an obsession in her heart, and wanted to wait here for Nie Tian to reappear, or to see the Wraith Pearl emerge, proving that Nie Tian was dead.
No matter whether Nie Tian is dead or alive, she wants a result.
Three more days later, the activity of Qigong Practitioners from the Dark Nether Realm became more and more frequent nearby. Several times, she felt frightened and her whereabouts were almost exposed.
She guessed that those in the Dark Realm already knew that earth-shattering changes had taken place in the surrounding area.
But because of the launch of the ancient ship of the Evil Underworld Galaxy and the departure of the visitors from the Baizhan Territory, the visitors from the Dark Underworld Territory were unable to find a single living person to question.
They must have also determined that someone else must have been here, so they were conducting a blanket search.
Gradually, Dong Li's determination to stick to this place and wait for Nie Tian to appear began to waver.
She knew that if she didn't leave, she would be found by the Dark Realm soon.
So she left quietly.
In an unknown place, Nie Tian opened his eyes.
In the depths of each of his eyes, there seemed to be nine stars shining as he walked to the altar.
The raging flames had long since ceased, and both the Flame Dragon Armor and the Ghost Pearl fell quietly in the altar. The Flame Dragon Armor seemed to have consumed too much flame energy, and it seemed that the flames were not visible.
The ghosts and remnant souls absorbed by the Ghost Pearl were completely refined by the Flame Dragon Armor, leaving them empty inside and no longer magical.
At this moment, he has entered the innate realm, and in the sea of soul consciousness, nine broken stars are shining brightly and dazzlingly.
He frowned and half-crouched to put away the Soul Pearl first. A ray of spiritual consciousness escaped and wandered around the strange object created by the Xie Ming clan.
As soon as his spiritual consciousness flew in, he saw that the inside of the Nether Soul Pearl seemed to be a secret world of Qingming.
The Qingming Secret Realm seems to be able to actively gather souls, but at this moment it is empty and there is nothing magical about it.
He reached out and grabbed the Flame Dragon Armor again.
The moment he reached out, the power of fire and the essence of flesh and blood in his body were suddenly lost!
The next moment, the space vortex that brought it here was formed again due to the blood core.
Nie Tian frowned and realized what happened.
He immediately understood that the flame energy absorbed by the Flame Dragon Armor over the years was almost exhausted due to the refining of the Ghost Bead.
The Flame Dragon Armor only had a small amount of energy left, which was not enough to form a space vortex to take him away, so it had to draw additional power from his body.
Originally, he wanted to stay in this mysterious place for a while longer.
He also wanted to understand more secret techniques and mysterious spiritual techniques through those mountain-like giant arms emerging from the depths of the earth.
But having had several experiences, he also knew that whether the Flame Dragon Armor was brought in, taken out, or stayed here, it would consume the power of the Flame Dragon Armor.
At this time, the Flame Dragon Armor had consumed too much energy in refining the Ghost Pearl and could no longer support his continued stay.
He knew that he had to leave as early as possible this time.
He also understood that he might not be able to use the Flame Dragon Armor to fight the enemy for a long time.
He needs to find a strange place with blazing flames for the Flame Dragon Armor, so that the Flame Dragon Armor can absorb the flame energy again and accumulate huge energy.
The space vortex gradually formed.
After he woke up, he no longer hesitated and flew in.
Dark realm.
"call!"
Where he and the Ghost Pearl disappeared together, a small space vortex formed, and he suddenly flashed out.
As soon as he returned to the Dark Realm, he naturally looked around, but found no one in his sight.
He knew very well that his stay in that mysterious foreign place should not be short.
He didn't know what the current situation was.
Subconsciously, he condensed his heavenly eyes.
Because there are now nine broken stars in the soul consciousness sea, he condensed a total of nine heavenly eyes this time.
Moreover, the insight and range of perception of these nine heavenly eyes have been greatly improved because Broken Star is as strong as a fist!
The nine heavenly eyes floated slowly and flew in all directions, and clear scenes were reflected in his heart.
He soon noticed that within a few miles of him, there were many local Qigong practitioners from the Dark Nether Realm. Among them, the people from the Flame Temple and the Ghost Mansion were able to detect them at a glance because of their special clothing.
"Dong Li! Why is she still here?"
Notifying a clairvoyant observer, he saw Dong Li deliberately hiding her traces, moving her little wings away.
"call out!"
Starlight flashed, and he teleported with short-distance starlight, quickly approaching Dong Li.
Not long after, he suddenly appeared in front of Dong Li.
"Nie Tian!"
Dong Li, who was sneaking carefully, saw a flash of starlight in front of her eyes, and a figure emerged, and she immediately covered her mouth and shouted softly.
"Why haven't you returned to the Hundred Battles Domain yet?" Nie Tian asked in surprise.
Dong Li's eyes glowed, but she stared at him and gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it because I'm waiting for you?!"
"Wait for me?" Nie Tian looked strange, "Why are you waiting for me? Did I ask you to wait for me?"
Dong Li's face froze, and she suddenly became angry. She wanted to rush up and scratch his innocent and inexplicable face.
But she held back forcefully.
Because she had known for a long time that there were Qigong practitioners from the Dark Underworld active nearby, and she had not given up the search yet.
If she and Nie Tian had a conflict and made strange noises, it would quickly attract the attention of those people and expose their traces.
Seeing her ugly face and angry expression, Nie Tian couldn't help but said, "What is the situation now? Where are the others?"
"Everyone else has returned to Baizhan Domain!" Dong Li said angrily.
Nie Tian was surprised, so he repeated again: "Why didn't you go back together?"
"I'm waiting for you! How many more times do you want me to say this?!" Dong Li growled in a low voice.
Nie Tian touched his chin, his expression still innocent, "But I didn't ask you to wait for me."
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Dong Li glared and yelled softly: "I know how strange you are. Take me out of here as soon as possible. Don't let me be discovered by the people in the Dark Realm! When you leave here, I won't talk to you again. You settle the score!"
"Oh." Nie Tian nodded, and immediately searched through his nine heavenly eyes to select the appropriate road and direction.
Dong Li on the side looked at him angrily, feeling that she had nowhere to vent her grievances and depression.
"Come with me."
After a while, Nie Tian set a direction and led the way.
Dong Li followed him silently, her breathing quickened with anger, and she occasionally swore in a low voice, "Damn guy! Heartless and unjust! If I had known, I wouldn't have cared about you and let you die on that lake! "
“The conscience is eaten by dogs!”
"I will never forgive you!"
