Chapter 914: Overbearing

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Pan Qingwu glanced at Nie Shengyun with some surprise, not understanding why Nie Shengyun had suddenly come to find him.

In the Boundless Sea, their tasks were both to locate the plane’s origin.

However, their roles had differed slightly.

Pan Qingwu had been responsible for the search, while Nie Shengyun had handled logistical support, allowing Pan Qingwu to focus entirely on one task.

Thus, Nie Shengyun had often been seen traveling back and forth between Sky Sea City and the Boundless Sea, whereas Pan Qingwu had not returned to Sky Sea City even once since arriving in the Boundless Sea.

Even when the Ice Clan’s Emperor had appeared previously, Pan Qingwu had not gone forward to confront him.

“How much longer do you think it will take?” Nie Shengyun had asked softly.

Bringing the plane’s origin back to Sky Sea City had been a significant achievement, and the rewards would have been enough to advance Nie Shengyun further.

For at least the next hundred years, he would not have needed to worry about cultivation resources.

To secure this task, Nie Shengyun had invested a substantial cost in Sky Sea City to succeed.

Compared to Pan Qingwu’s background, though Nie Shengyun had also been a member of the City Lord’s Mansion, he had still been considerably inferior.

Because of this, Nie Shengyun had been extremely meticulous about every detail of this task, not allowing even the slightest error.

“It would take at most two months, and as little as one month, to locate the plane’s origin,” Pan Qingwu had said after some thought.

“So soon!”

Hearing Pan Qingwu’s words, Nie Shengyun’s eyes had lit up slightly.

The initially estimated time had been at least six months, and depending on the weakness of the Boundless Sea plane, it might have taken even longer.

“The appearance of the Ice Clan’s Emperor had stimulated the plane’s origin,” Pan Qingwu had explained with a smile.

“It seems that the Ice Clan’s Emperor had done us a great favor!” Nie Shengyun’s face had also shown a smile.

“It’s just a coincidence! The Boundless Sea plane had decayed too severely.”

Stimulating the plane’s origin did not always make it easier to locate; sometimes it could have the opposite effect, causing the origin to hide even deeper.

Nie Shengyun had nodded, understanding this principle as well.

“By the way, I had seen Yan Ming’an in Sky Sea City. I have the Source Stone with me. Should I give it to you now?”

As Nie Shengyun had spoken, a Source Stone had flown out from his storage.

“Source Stone? I hadn’t asked Yan Ming’an to buy this material!” Pan Qingwu had frowned at Nie Shengyun’s words.

Nie Shengyun’s actions had paused slightly, and his eyes had narrowed.

In the Return to Nothing Realm, Sky Sea City.

“If you two want to come, then follow along!” Chen Fei’s brow relaxed as he glanced at the two, then continued toward the Teleportation Hall.

In Sky Sea City, fighting had been prohibited. Even if you had the greatest blood feud, it was not allowed.

If caught by the city’s patrols, regardless of your strength or background, you would have been taken to the City Lord’s Mansion’s prison.

Even if a Rule Integration Realm expert had acted, the consequences would have been the same.

Of course, while they would have arrested you, how they dealt with you afterward could have been more flexible.

Depending on your strength and background, the final punishment would have varied.

Wherever there was life, there was conflict. In a world where power was paramount, natural divisions into different levels of strength occurred.

There was no absolute fairness, only a relatively stable environment.

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan watched Yan Ming’an’s departing figure and exchanged a glance, choosing not to intercept him.

The Sky Resonance Court was very powerful, and the second miss of Sky Resonance Court had considerable influence, but Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan were only two of Sky Resonance Court’s guards.

If they had acted within Sky Sea City, Sky Resonance Court would probably have abandoned them.

After all, the second miss’s intention was to monitor Yan Ming’an’s movements. Once he appeared in Sky Sea City, their task was to prevent him from returning to the previous spatial passage by any means necessary, while simply keeping an eye on him otherwise.

At this moment, the second miss of Sky Resonance Court had already received their information and was on her way with others.

Chen Fei moved on the spatial fluctuations, his speed surpassing that of earlier.

Sky Sea City was enveloped in a massive array. In addition to the powerful defensive and anti-air forces, the space within Sky Sea City was also forcibly compressed.

Without forcibly moving, traveling on spatial fluctuations was already Chen Fei’s fastest speed.

Chen Fei did not linger with Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan, as his internal warning had begun to rise, indicating a significant danger approaching him.

It could be from the second miss of Sky Resonance Court or Nie Shengyun noticing something wrong and coming to capture Chen Fei.

Regardless of the situation, leaving Sky Sea City was the best option.

In a few breaths, Chen Fei reached the Teleportation Hall.

The hall was bustling with people. It not only provided teleportation to other human cities but also to several cities within the Human Alliance.

Earlier in Sky Sea City, Chen Fei had already seen some foreign races.

Not only the demon race but also other races.

In the Return to Nothing Realm, the human race was of average strength, so alliances and collaborations were inevitable.

Although the strongest races in the alliance only had six-stage Emperors and no seven-stage experts, they were still a force that could come together in critical times.

Chen Fei entered the hall, quickly glanced around, and then threw out a hundred high-grade origin stones, stepping into a teleportation array.

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan followed without hesitation and entered the teleportation array together.

Chen Fei remained composed. Entering and exiting the teleportation array was everyone’s freedom; as long as one paid enough high-grade origin stones, no one would block them.

In less than a moment, the teleportation array was filled with nine people. A beam of divine light erupted, and the nine people disappeared from the hall.

The destination of this teleportation array was Lingxi City, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away from Sky Sea City.

The area of the Return to Nothing Realm was far from comparable to that of the Boundless Sea, but the actual area occupied by the human race might not even be half of the Central Continent.

Lingxi City did not belong to the human race but was a city inhabited by the Gong Clan.

The Gong Clan looked similar to humans but was generally shorter in stature.

Compared to the average talents of humans, the Gong Clan had an exceptionally outstanding talent for forging.

They could forge various powerful mystical treasures and even artifacts for the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm. Their craftsmanship far exceeded that of the humans for items of the same rank.

Despite their slightly weaker overall strength, the Gong Clan held an equal status among the allied races due to their racial talents.

It was rumored that the Gong Clan even aimed to forge puppets surpassing the six-stage Emperor Realm through their forging techniques, but despite the years, they had not succeeded.

In the teleportation passage, filled with vibrant colors, Chen Fei glanced around and extinguished Yan Ming’an’s soul within the Tianling Pendant.

Since they were already in the Return to Nothing Realm, there was no need to worry about the death of a Sun Moon Realm expert causing any celestial phenomena.

In the Boundless Sea, the death of a Sun Moon Realm expert would resonate with the plane’s rules. However, in the Return to Nothing Realm, even the simultaneous deaths of hundreds or thousands of Sun Moon Realm experts would not cause any fluctuation in the Return to Nothing Realm’s rules.

Even the death of a six-stage Emperor would not provoke any response from the Return to Nothing Realm.

Therefore, there was no need to keep Yan Ming’an’s soul. In fact, keeping it could increase the risk of Chen Fei’s exposure.

As for the cultivation inheritance within Yan Ming’an’s soul, Chen Fei could not extract it at the moment. Simple torture was ineffective on the soul of a Sun Moon Realm expert, rendering it essentially useless.

In less than a few breaths, the spatial passage brightened, and the nine people appeared in another grand hall.

Chen Fei stepped out of the teleportation array naturally, then left the hall and sped away.

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan followed without any attempt at concealment.

Chen Fei glanced back at them and began to accelerate.

Lingxi City also had anti-air arrays, so Chen Fei could only move along the ground, which slightly affected his speed.

After circling a few times, Chen Fei failed to shake off Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan.

Frowning slightly, Chen Fei looked around and, with a shift in expression, took a few steps to arrive at a marketplace.

Lingxi City was home to a famous marketplace where all traces of goods were erased upon entry, and there were numerous entrances and exits.

This marketplace was an ideal place to handle troublesome matters, and that was exactly the Gong Clan’s purpose.

“You can go to other places, but not here.”

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan suddenly quickened their pace, blocking Chen Fei’s path.

If Chen Fei entered the marketplace, they might lose him, and if the second miss arrived afterward, they would be unable to report back.

“Why don’t you go somewhere else? You can’t go in here!” Chi Chengyuan said, appearing to negotiate but actually trying to drive Chen Fei away.

“Are you two going to make a move here?” Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Hahaha, Brother Yan, you might not know this, but the second miss is very close to the daughter of the Bai family in Lingxi City. If we fight here, we would be caught, but guess what the outcome will be?” Shen Shundong laughed loudly.

Compared to the strictness of Sky Sea City, in Lingxi City, many issues could be resolved with money. The marketplace in front of them, for example, dealt with goods, not people. Moreover, Sky Resonance Court had connections here.

Thus, while Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan would face significant trouble if they acted in Sky Sea City, here, Sky Resonance Court only needed to spend some origin stones.

“Do you really want to do this?”

Chen Fei, feeling the increasing warnings in his soul, feared that continuing to delay might bring more danger.

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan wore sarcastic smiles and had no intention of answering Chen Fei’s question.

Chen Fei turned directly and ran toward the eastern gate of Lingxi City.

Under different circumstances, Chen Fei might have had time to deal with Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan, but the current situation did not allow him to act in a normal manner.

Seeing that Yan Ming’an was abandoning the marketplace, Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan exchanged smug smiles.

Yan Ming’an was indeed a pitiful figure, chosen by the second miss, and it was a shame about his good looks.

But that was of no concern to them. As long as they kept an eye on Yan Ming’an, there would be benefits for them later.

Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan closely followed Chen Fei. In no time, the eastern gate came into view.

In Sky Sea City, Nie Shengyun emerged from the spatial passage.
