Chapter 251: Bloody Battles (1/2)

In Shatter City…

In the middle of the night, Li Ye threw his head back and laughed uproariously in his room, holding a short, silver spear in his hand.

Everyone in a 50-meter radius was awoken from their cultivation, and they immediately cursed Li Ye for his neurotic behavior.

In a nearby spacious stone room, Pei Qiqi was wholeheartedly engraving a detailed spiritual formation drawing onto a beautiful piece of jade when she was startled by Li Ye’s yell, making her finger shake.

CRUNCH!

The Space Spirit Jade in her hand cracked open.

Rage immediately appeared on Pei Qiqi’s delicate face as she dashed out of her room as lightly as a puff of air.

In about ten seconds, she appeared in front of Li Ye like a ghost. Without saying a word, she punched him in the face before he could react.

BOOM!

Li Ye’s body was immediately sent flying backwards before crashing heavily onto the ground.

“What the hell are you doing, senior martial sister?!” Li Ye sat up and asked bitterly, holding his swollen face in his hands.

“I wanted to ask you the same question!” Pei Qiqi said angrily.

“What? Did I disturb you?” With these words, Li Ye seemed to have come to some realization, and hastily forced a smile on his face, saying, “I finally finished the short, silver spear for Hu Han. I just ran a series of tests, and it’s proven to be a Premium grade spiritual tool. Hahaha!

“I’m a Premium grade equipment forger from now on!” Complacent with himself,Li Ye grew increasingly animated.

Pei Qiqi’s eyebrows furrowed as she said, “Hu Han? I told you to drive her away long ago. That woman has ulterior motives. Why don’t you listen to me?”

A forced smile could be seen on Li Ye’s face as he said, “I couldn’t. After all, she knows something about equipment forging, and can help me with my work. None of the other ones know a damn thing about equipment forging, including Hua Tian. None of them are helpful, not in the slightest. Don’t tell me you want me to count on them.”

“Hua Tian…” Upon hearing Nie Tian’s name, Pei Qiqi suddenly realized that it had been awhile since she’d seen him. Therefore, she asked, “Is that guy still in the Blood Skull’s headquarters?”

“Nope, he went to the Void Illusion Mountain Range,” Li Ye said.

Pei Qiqi’s expression flickered slightly. “The Void Illusion Mountain Range?! How did he get there?”

“Via the teleportation portal you set up in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.” Li Ye chuckled, as if he was quite proud of his intelligence. “He’s Mr. Hua’s nephew, and Mr. Hua personally brought him here. That makes him one of us.Hey, by the way, have you noticed that every time our master talks about Mr. Hua, her expression changes? I bet he and our master…”

Pei Qiqi gave Li Ye a cold look as she blurted, “The fact that Mr. Hua personally put him in our hands is exactly the reason why we should guarantee his safety! I can’t believe you actually let him go to the Void Illusion Mountain Range by himself! Are you aware that he’s only at the Lesser Heaven stage, and letting him roam about in the Void Illusion Mountain Range by himself will get him killed?

“Do you really think he can single-handedly defeat a powerful expert like Yang Ling in the Void Illusion Mountain Range?

“You moron!”

Pei Qiqi’s scolding made Li Ye cower. He laughed embarrassedly and said, “I know that, and that’s why I arranged for Hu Han to go with him. Also, I forced Hu Han to take a Heart Crushing Pill before departing. Rest assured, considering her status, she won’t be able to get an antidote on her own. She’ll play by the rules and take care of Nie Tian for me.”

“What?!” Pei Qiqi seemed astounded as she stared at Li Ye as if she were staring at a fool. “You let Hu Han go with him?! Haven’t you ever suspected why she’s been working for you?”

“What do you mean?” Li Ye was puzzled.

Pei Qiqi didn’t answer. Instead, she asked with a heavy tone, “How long have they been gone?”

“About ten days.” At this point, Li Ye also had the feeling that something bad might be going on. He put away his smiles and asked, with all seriousness, “What do you know, senior martial sister?”

“Ten days… I hope it’s not too late…” Pei Qiqi muttered before striding out of Li Ye’s room.

When she disappeared from Li Ye’s confused gaze, her voice echoed out, “You stay here, and don’t you dare leave Shatter City before I come back! We’ll talk then!”

At the same time, a wave of mysterious spatial energy spread out.

After a short while, she appeared by the inter-spatial teleportation portal in the central square. She told Liu Kang that she needed to use the portal immediately.

Without any hesitation, Liu Kang made the arrangements for her.

SHEW!

In the next moment, Pei Qiqi showed up in the small teleportation portal she had set up in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.

She rapidly glanced around, and the let out a sigh of relief after being convinced that nothing had happened to it.

Then, she reached out and placed her hand on the portal as she cast a spell in her mind.

The portal rapidly shrank to the size of a palm, and she put it away effortlessly.

Afterwards, she stepped out of the cave and marched quickly among the slithering spatial rifts.

She shifted skillfully among the spatial rifts as she rapidly closed in on the location that Li Ye had pointed out for her.

Meanwhile, Ma Jiu, along with a handful of his subordinates, were marching towards Pei Qiqi’s teleportation portal according to the directions Hu Han had provided.

Ma Jiu’s sharp eyes caught sight of Pei Qiqi, who was shifting among the spatial rifts under the chilly moonlight. “Miss Pei.”
