High up in the sky, just as Nie Tian's roar faded, four figures appeared in the void.
They were no strangers. They were the four powerhouses of the Ancient Ming: the Heaven and Earth Duo, Seven Kills with the Killer Form, and Lieyan Jiufeng with the Evil Form.
"It's you guys." Nie Tian's eyes narrowed when he saw the four figures. "You guys didn't leave."
He did not expect that the four of them did not leave after he defeated them, but had been lurking in the void all this time.
It was obvious that the four of them had not just arrived, but had been lurking all along and had seen everything.
At the moment, the four of them looked very shocked, and their eyes were trembling.
They had seen with their own eyes how Nie Tian had killed Nangong Jue, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, the four of them would never have believed that Nie Tian could kill Nangong Jue.
At first, the four of them had thought that Nie Tian had come to kill Nangong Jue to seek his own death.
The outcome in front of them was something they had never expected.
Nie Tian was simply too frightening. He had killed a Demi-Saint with the strength of a first-level Demi-Saint.
To be able to surpass one's level in terms of strength that surpassed the Divine State was simply outrageous.
However, they could also see that Nie Tian's body hid many unimaginable powers.
Especially the Heavenly Sacred Heart, which was too powerful!
Seven Kills and Lieyan Jiufeng could feel that the power of the Heavenly Sacred Heart was even greater than the Emperor of the Netherworld's Heavenly Demon Heart!
"Nie Tian." At that moment, Lieyan Jiufeng stepped forward, his eyes trembling slightly as he said with a deep voice, "We need your help."
At that moment, he was no longer as arrogant as before, and was instead showing unprecedented respect.
He had to show respect for Nie Tian's current strength.
Previously, Lieyan Jiufeng viewed Nie Tian in a different light. One could even say that he was wary of Nie Tian.
However, he had always felt that Nie Tian was a martial artist of the same level as him, or even weaker than him most of the time.
At that moment, however, he no longer had the will to compete against the terrifying Nie Tian.
Nie Tian was too powerful, and he was far from being a match for him.
"You need my help?" Nie Tian sneered and said in a deep voice, "Why should I help you?"
At this moment, the power of the Star Soul Elixir in his body began to slowly recede, the Saint Soul Curse Mark also slowly recovered, and even the power of Heavenly Dao quietly disappeared.
His aura had weakened and returned to its original state.
Even though, Lieyan, Nie Tian's aura was still, he was still.
After all, he had in the Demi-Saint Demi-Saint, Demi-Saint, and Saint Saint and Earth.
Lieyan Jiufeng frowned and stared at Nie Tian. "If Lord Hell Emperor doesn't come back to life, Her Highness' life will be in danger. Don't you care?"
"I do." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "But I have my own way to save Xue 'er. You don't have to worry."
"You …" Lieyan Jiufeng's eyes darkened, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
Nie Tian, on the other hand, had a calm expression. He could save Xue 'er from the Inescapable Trap at any time.
Moreover, he believed that as long as he gave the Heavenly Sacred Heart to Xue 'er, she would be able to break free from the Emperor of the Underworld's control.
Nie Tian's expression turned cold, and he did not say anything else.
Subsequently, he carefully took out the twelve stone pillars from the Nine Extremities.
Nie Tian's expression was extremely gloomy as he witnessed the horrifying scene before his eyes.
He felt that killing Nangong Jue was letting the latter off too easily.
Subsequently, Nie Tian rescued everyone from the stone pillars, treated them one by one, and stabilized their auras.
Half a day later, he was finally done, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
However, he discovered that everyone's yuan meridians had been completely destroyed using an extremely strange method. Normal methods could not restore them.
Most of these cultivators had lived for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. If they could not restore their yuan meridians, they would not live for long.
Nie Tian frowned and let everyone enter the Wind and Cloud Great Hall first.
He had no way to restore their yuan meridians now, so he could only think of a way later.
When he returned to the Saint Soul Region, he would look for Hua Yiru. The latter should have a way.
"Nie Tian, I didn't expect you to kill Nangong Jue!" In the Wind and Cloud Great Hall, Nie Dao looked at Nie Tian with tears streaming down his face. He felt like he was dreaming.
The others were equally shocked.
They had only heard from Nie Tian that Nangong Jue was dead.
Although Nie Tian had played it down, everyone could guess that a fierce battle must have taken place between Nie Tian and Nangong Jue.
It was hard to imagine how Nie Tian killed Nangong Jue.
"Grandfather, Nangong Jue said before he died that he did not destroy the Nie family. Is that true?" Nie Tian looked at Nie Dao, waiting for the latter to calm down before asking.
He was a little worried that Nangong Jue had lied in a moment of desperation in order to save his own life.
"Yes." At this moment, Nie Dao nodded his head, a faint smile on his lips as he said, "The Nie family is indeed still alive. They were not destroyed by Nangong Jue."
"Really?" Nie Tian's expression changed. He was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Grandfather, what exactly is going on?"
Nie Dao let out a deep breath and said, "After you left, I was worried that Nangong Jue would go back on his word and make a move against the Nie family. After all, he had already gone back on his word once, which led to the tragedy of Benevolent Light City.
"In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, I once again opened the ancestral land and allowed all the Nie family members to enter.
"After doing all this, I was still worried, so I had your uncles seal the ancestral land with their own bloodlines to prevent Nangong Jue from forcibly entering.
"When Nangong Jue made his move, he guessed that I would hide the Nie family members in the ancestral land. However, he didn't expect that I would seal the ancestral land with the bloodlines of Feiliu and the others.
"Therefore, even though he flew into a rage out of humiliation, he still couldn't kill the Nie family members."
With that, a smile appeared on Nie Dao's face, as if he was very happy that he had made a wise decision.
If he hadn't allowed the Nie family members to enter the ancestral land, then the Nie family definitely wouldn't have been able to escape the misfortune of being exterminated.
"So that's how it is." After hearing Nie Dao's explanation, Nie Tian faintly smiled.
He finally understood why Nangong Jue was so cruel as to hang Nie Dao and the others on the stone pillars and cruelly torture them.
"Grandfather, can you open the ancestral land now?" Nie Tian nodded and raised his head to look at Nie Dao.
"I can't." Nie Dao shook his head at this moment. A worried expression immediately appeared on his face as he said, "The ancestral land was sealed by your uncles using their bloodline power. Only their bloodline power can open the ancestral land.
"But now, Feiliu and the others' origin meridians have been destroyed. Not to mention opening the ancestral land, even surviving is a problem."
"This …" Nie Tian was stunned and his expression became extremely unsightly.
He didn't expect that the Nie family's ancestral land would be sealed by Nie Feiliu and the others using their bloodline power.
But now, Nie Feiliu and the others' origin meridians had been destroyed. They were already crippled and could no longer break the bloodline seal.
