Nie Tian's expression slowly changed as he looked at the Mystic Moon Map in front of him.
The Mystic Moon Empire was extremely vast, spanning thousands of miles. It was surrounded by powerful forces. On one side was Sky Sword Pavilion, and on the other side was Mu Ye Empire.
What surprised Nie Tian was that Sky Sword Pavilion was very small, not even one-tenth the size of the Mystic Moon Empire.
However, this was not what surprised Nie Tian. What interested him was that the Mystic Moon Empire was divided into three parts on the map. These three parts were labeled with names: Sky Demon Cult, Nie Tian, Mystic Moon Empire.
That's right, Nie Tian's name was on the map, and it was sandwiched between the Sky Demon Cult and the Mystic Moon Empire. It was the largest!
"Mister Xuan, you want to divide the Mystic Moon Empire into three parts. The Mystic Moon Empire only wants the smallest part!" Nie Tian was no fool and immediately understood Xuan Ye's intention.
He did not expect that he was so important in Xuan Ye's heart that he occupied almost half of the Mystic Moon Empire.
"Yes!" Xuan Ye nodded and said, "I don't have much time. This is the only way!"
Nie Tian's expression became complicated. Xuan Ye wanted to sacrifice the Mystic Moon Empire to protect the Xuan Family's bloodline.
This move was too vicious!
Xuan Ye knew that if he did not make a sacrifice, the Sky Demon Cult would not stop. Once the Sky Demon Cult took over the Mystic Moon Empire, the Xuan Family would end up like the Yue Family in the past — annihilated!
Therefore, he gave one-third of the Mystic Moon Empire to the Sky Demon Cult and half to Nie Tian. The Xuan Family would only keep the smallest part of the Mystic Moon Empire to survive.
The best part of the whole plan was that Xuan Ye gave almost half of the Mystic Moon Empire to Nie Tian and let Nie Tian be sandwiched between the Sky Demon Cult and the Mystic Moon Empire!
It had to be said that this was a good plan. On one hand, it could temporarily appease the Sky Demon Cult's anger. On the other hand, it could let Nie Tian become the Xuan Family's natural barrier to stop the Sky Demon Cult's invasion.
Moreover, Xuan Ye had purposely given half of the Black Moon Empire to Nie Tian. He was clearly trying to divert the hatred and make the Heavenly Demon Cult vent their anger on Nie Tian.
The Heavenly Demon Cult had worked hard for hundreds of years, and now that Xuan Ye was about to die and there was hope for revenge, Nie Tian had appeared out of nowhere and taken away half of Dark Moon. How could they not be furious?
It was a simple division of the map and a simple compromise, but it was enough to show how shrewd Xuan Ye was. Even Nie Tian felt a chill run down his spine.
"Nie Tian, what do you think?" Seeing that Nie Tian seemed to be hesitating, Xuan Ye's eyes flickered as he asked in anticipation.
The corner of Nie Tian's lips curled up into a strange smile, but he did not answer Xuan Ye directly. Instead, he asked, "Mister Xuan, what makes you think that I could stand against the Sky Demon Cult? I'm just a Heaven Evolution Realm martial artist. How am I supposed to fight the powerful Sky Demon Cult alone? "
The Sky Demon Cult was very powerful, and even Xuan Ye himself could not stand against them. However, he had asked Nie Tian to be the Dark Moon Empire's barrier. Was this a joke?
Even if Nie Tian's strength was strange and unpredictable, there was still a limit.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if Xuan Ye attacked Nie Tian now, Nie Tian would most likely die in his hands.
Xuan Ye's eyes were burning as he said in a deep voice, "Nie Tian, you might not be able to stand against the Sky Demon Cult, but the force behind you can. You are from the Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss. Hasn't the Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss always wanted to invade the Holy Light Region? If I give you half of Dark Moon, will the Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss reject me? "
"The Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss!" Nie Tian's eyes trembled slightly. He had actually forgotten that he had used the Spirit Dragon Ring when he fought with Mo Beiming. That was why Xuan Ye and the others thought that he was from the Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss.
However, the truth was that Nie Tian was not from the Myriad Demons Dragon Abyss.
With Nie Tian's current strength, even if Xuan Ye gave him half of the Dark Moon, he would not be able to keep it.
"Mister Xuan, I would like to know how much time you have left." Nie Tian thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
With Xuan Ye's strength, he could basically confirm that he had at most three days before his great limit.
Xuan Ye was stunned. He did not know what Nie Tian was thinking. How much time he had left until his great limit was his last secret, and he could not reveal it casually.
"I will give you an answer after the Wind and Cloud Trial. How about it?" Nie Tian said when he saw that Xuan Ye did not speak.
Nie Tian was indeed tempted by half of the Dark Moon. However, his current strength was limited, and he could not swallow half of the Dark Moon.
After the Wind and Cloud Trial, if his strength could reach the Celestial Being Realm, he would have the confidence to fight against the Sky Demon Cult.
Before he had the strength, he could not promise Xuan Ye.
"Alright." Xuan Ye looked at Nie Tian and nodded solemnly.
Although he was not far from the end of his great limit, he still had a few months.
"Nie Tian, do not tell anyone about what happened today. Only you and I can know about this. No one else can know." Xuan Ye put away the map and handed it to Nie Tian.
"Of course." Nie Tian took the map and smiled faintly. He was not a fool. How could he tell this to others?
"Mister Xuan, there is one thing I would like to ask you." Nie Tian suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you know about the Yue Family's bloodline power?"
"Blood Jade Demonic Lotus!" Xuan Ye was slightly stunned, and said, "The Blood Jade Demonic Lotus is a bloodline power that is not weaker than the Blood Jade Mystical Sand. Back then, the ancestors of the Xuan Family and the Yue Family obtained these two powers in a forbidden land. Why do you suddenly care about the Yue Family's bloodline power? "
"Compared to the normal bloodline power, is there any difference between the Blood Jade Demonic Lotus and the normal bloodline power?" Nie Tian continued to ask.
"Different?" Xuan Ye was startled, not knowing what Nie Tian meant.
"It seems you don't know either." Nie Tian shook his head, "It's fine. Thank you for telling me."
Xuan Ye looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything else and left.
He didn't take Yue Jin with him. Instead, he left her in his jade mansion. She was going to participate in the Wind and Cloud Trials with Nie Tian.
Nie Tian shook his head. He didn't know what kind of agreement Xuan Ye and Yue Rushuang had reached to force the Empyrean Demon Saintess to participate in the Wind and Cloud Trials, even at the expense of Xuan Qiu.
If Xuan Qiu knew about this, what would he think?
After Xuan Ye left, Nie Tian went to check the Spirit Gathering Formation. Only after confirming that it hadn't been destroyed did he feel relieved.
"Mister Nie." Xun Hai came over at this time, looking a bit flustered. "I have to return to Sky Sword Pavilion. Le Shan doesn't want to go back, so please take care of her."
"Okay." Nie Tian answered and nodded.
He knew why Xun Hai wanted to go back. Xiao Wuqing was still alive, and his strength had become so strange. Xun Hai had to go back and inform the people of Sky Sword Pavilion.
Nie Tian told Yu Jiao to take care of Le Shan, Yue Jin, and the others, then returned to his room.
After the battle with Xiao Wuqing, Nie Tian's Origin Energy was exhausted, and his mind was exhausted. This time, he needed to rest for a few days to recover.
In the room, Nie Tian sat cross-legged and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
He was still too weak at the moment, so he had to increase his strength as soon as possible.
