Chapter 55 - Reversal of the Wheel of Fortune

Seventy meters!

There was a strange glow in Nie Tians eyes, as his upright body trembled slightly.

Not long ago, when he was searching for the Black Ice Python in that glacier region, he had been able to reach fifty meters. Which was something he had only been able to attain after exhausting his mental strength countless of times, substantially upgrading it.

He didnt anticipate, that after eating the Earth Lizards meat and going through the process of strengthening his fleshy body, the scouting limit of his mental strength would have actually been upgraded to such an extent!

Good stuff! This is seriously some good stuff!

Once he thought of An Ying and the other two, who all had had diarrhea after eating the Earth Lizards meat, he couldnt help but to cheer in his heart.

The Grade Two spirit beasts meat couldnt only quicken the cultivation of his Lianqi realm, but it could also temper and sharpen his flesh!

Moreover, the strength of his flesh could also benefit his mental strength, causing him to wholistically increase his strength!

At that point, he had even more expectations for the Green Illusion trial and he suddenly felt that the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect seemed as though they were not that scary anymore.

He also completely lacked any interest towards the discussion being held by Jiang Lingzhu, An Ying and the others. He only wanted to swallow all of the Earth Lizards meat into his abdomen as soon as possible.

This barren land

Looking at the Earth Lizards beastly body from afar, Nie Tian secretly furrowed his brows, as he suddenly thought of a problem.

The barren land and the glacier region were different. The spirit beast meat that he had obtained through hunting in the glacier region could be carried directly on his back without undergoing any means of processing.

The weather in the glacier region was cold. All kinds of spirit beast meat could maintain their freshness, which meant that it wasnt hard to keep it from rotting.

However, the barren land was blistering hot, like fire. If the spirit beast meat didnt go through any means of processing, any spirit beast meat would smell very quickly and it would be completely impossible to continue consuming it.

It seems like I need to turn that meat into dried meat. Only then will I be able to take them with me and consume them over a long period of time.

With this thought, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the Earth Lizards corpse.

Once Jiang Miao, who sat not far away from him, saw that he had gotten up, she also subconsciously followed him and asked him in a surprised tone, Nie Tian, what are you doing?

I want to turn the Earth Lizards meat into dried meat. Nie Tian answered.

Ill help you. Jiang Miao said.

Nie Tian hesitated for a moment. Do you know how to do it?

I dont. Jiang Miao honestly replied, You can teach me how to do it.

I also dont know. Nie Tian forced a smile.

Ah! Jiang Miao softly cried out. Soon after, she looked towards Guo Qi who was not far off. Big Brother Guo, do you know how to turn spirit beast meat into dried meat?

Sure. Guo Qi answered.

We might not necessarily encounter spirit beasts in the barren land in the future, but we still need to eat. Elder Sister An Ying and the others are currently discussing the important matters at hand. In any case, were unoccupied. Why dont we turn the meat of those spirit beasts into dried meat, which well be able to bring along then? Jiang Miao said.

Oh, then Ill help you guys. Guo Qi nodded his head.

When they were in the glacier region, the Ghost Sect disciple, who had suddenly emerged wearing the Grey Valleys clothes, had almost mounted a sneak attack on Guo Qi that wouldve killed him.

It was Nie Tian who had detected it in the first possible moment and immediately attacked that Ghost Sect disciple, which had enabled Guo Qi to escape from a calamity.

Regardless of how he regarded Nie Tian in the past, it was a fact that Nie Tian had saved his life. So, although he was a little reluctant, he still nodded his head and agreed to help Nie Tian.

Ill also come and help you guys out. The Lingyun Sects Ye Gumo chuckled and said.

He didnt participate in the discussion that Jiang Lingzhu, An Ying, and the others were having. After he had recovered his strength, through the use of spirit stones, he had sat down at a place not far away from Nie Tian, secretly observing him.

He had clearly heard Nie Tian and Jiang Miaos conversation and knew that turning the spirit beast meat from this place into dried meat would be sufficient for everyones consumption for a very long period of time.

Now that both parties had merged, they wouldnt separate in the future. They naturally needed to work together as one and as such, he took the initiative and stepped forward.

Many thanks. Nie Tian smiled and said.

Ye Gumo laughed heartily and successively said, Dont mention it. You guys also did it for everyone.

With both parties being courteous to one another, Nie Tian and Jiang Miao started cutting the spirit beast meat with Ye Gumo and Guo Qis help. They then made dried meat that could be consumed at a later time.

An Ying and the others had discussed for only a moment, but already seemed to have reached a unified opinion.

When they found out that Nie Tian and the others were making dried meat, all of them set about helping them, knowing that this matter could solve the food rationing problem that everyone would face in the future.

However, before he set about making the dried meat, Pan Tao released a signal stick towards the sky.

A streak of pitch-black smoke shuddered up into the sky, distinctively obvious in the barren lands sky.

Now, everyones spiritual energy has already recovered. Even if the witch of the Blood Sect was to come and find us, we still wouldnt be afraid. Pan Tao went to Nie Tians side and explained, Although the Grey Valleys Yuan Fang is hateful, he isnt stupid. Since he has been attacked by the Ghost Sect in the glacier region, he wouldnt dare to continue to stay there.

As long as Yuan Feng is still alive, he would definitely be like us and choose to go to the barren land.

Perhaps, Yuan Feng is already leading the Grey Valley survivors to the barren land at this very moment. I cannot say for sure.

This signal is specifically released for Yuan Feng and the others. Hopefully they can be like us, who have found the Lingyun Sect and also find us through the use of this signal.

Pan Tao set about helping Nie Tian cut the Earth Lizards meat, while explaining the situation to him.

It has been decided that we arent going to go back to the glacier region to kill them? Nie Tian asked.

Yes, and that is because the people from the Blood Sect have also entered the Green Illusion Realm. Moreover, now that the people from the Blood Sect are in the barren land, if we were to head over to the glacier region, the Blood Sect and the Ghost Sect would also very quickly merge together. Pan Tao was very frank, Just now we discussed for a moment and decided to only wait for a short period of time, giving the Grey Valley a chance to find us.

The signal has been released. If they arent able to hurry over after a long period of time, Im afraid that it indicates that everything most likely bodes ill for them.

If thats the case and if we somehow decided to go to the glacier region to find them, we would be forced to fight with the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect with just our parties here.

Which isnt too wise. Pan Tao explained.

Nie Tian was astounded. You guys are planning to remain in the barren land then?

No. Pan Tao shook his head, Irrespective of whether were able to wait for the Grey Valleys Yuan Fang and the others, well still leave the barren land and head to the volcanic region to search for the Black Mist Palaces Zheng Bin and the others. When Jiang Lingzhu and Zheng Bin entered the Green Illusion Realm, they already had a tacit understanding that Jiang Lingzhu would bring people to the barren land whereas Zheng Bin and the others would head to the volcanic region.

There are already disastrous casualties on the Grey Valleys end. Even if Yuan Fang survived, there should not be many people left by his side.

The Grey Valley is already incapable of providing us with too much help. Moreover, we already know that the Ghost Sect is still pursuing them.

Therefore, in consideration of everyone, weve decided to go to the volcanic region to search for the Black Mist Palaces Zheng Bin.

Now that I think about it, they shouldnt be more tragic than the Grey Valley. If they didnt encounter people of the Prison Government, then with the number of people of the Black Mist Palace, they should be able to remain intact.

Only the Black Mist Palace is able to substantially increase our strength.

Pan Tao explained their conclusions, one after the other, that they had come to after discussing with Jiang Lingzhu to Nie Tian in great detail.

Nie Tian pondered over the situation. He knew that because too many people had died on the Grey Valleys end, added on to the fact that there were still an unknown number of Ghost Sect disciples hovering about in the glacier region, they had already viewed the Black Mist Palace as an even better choice.

The signal that Pan Tao released was to give Yuan Fang a last chance. Once that smoke dissipated, if Yuan Fang hadnt yet appeared, they would completely give up on him.

This was a cold, yet extremely wise decision. He had actually been inclined to this decision in his heart.

While the pitch-black smoke was floating high in the barren lands sky, the party was working as one and under the experienced guidance of Pan Tao and Ye Gumo, turning pieces of the spirit beast meat into dried meat.

On the Lingyun Sects end, once they knew that An Ying and the others had all nearly collapsed from having diarrhea after eating the Earth Lizards meat, all of them kept a respectful distance from the Earth Lizards meat.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the three trial takers of the Ling Bao Court, they didnt even dare to touch the Earth Lizards meat, as they were afraid of following down their path of diarrhea.

Hence, after the Grade Two Earth Lizards meat had been turned into dried meat, it had all been very naturally expropriated by Nie Tian.

The thick, pitch-black smoke that was drifting high in the sky persisted for a very long period of time. In the end, it still gradually dissipated.

Yuan Fang needs an hour to be able to hurry over if he was able to see it. So after the signal disappears, well wait for another hour. If they still havent arrived after an hour, then there is no need for us to continue to wait. An Ying said, with an apathetic look on her face.

Yes, then well wait for one hour. Jiang Lingzhu also expressed her agreement.

That Yuan Fang is the most hateful. It would also be good if he died. Zheng Rui harrumphed and said in a strange voice, Motherfucker! He even wanted us to hand Nie Tian over to them in the glacier region and almost started a battle with us. That fellow, even if he survived, Im afraid that he would also be just a scourge.

What did he want from Nie Tian, when he looked for you guys? Jiang Lingzhu puzzledly asked.

You go and ask him. Zheng Rui pointed towards Nie Tian.

Jiang Lingzhu seized the opportunity and looked over.

Nie Tian, who was currently busy preparing the Earth Lizards meat, faced her gaze and said, Do you still remember the battle between Yun Song and I that day in front of the Ling Bao Courts gate?

Of course I remember.

Yun Song is Yuan Fengs younger cousin brother.

So its like that.

The Yuan Family Nie Xian furrowed his brows and his expression froze, The Yuan Family lives in Cold Stone City, yet they continuously use underhanded ways to cause trouble for our Nie Family. It is best if that Yuan Feng is to die in the glacier region so as to avoid being an eyesore over here!

Similarly another Nie Familys clansman, Nie Xian, naturally knew that the Nie Family had been suppressed by the Yuan Family for many years because of Yuan Qiuyings existence.

Nie Donghais heavy injury was also because the Yuan Family and the Yun Family had formed an alliance and attacked him. As such, Nie Xian didnt have a favourable impression of Yuan Feng in the slightest.

There is a sound! Jiang Lingzhus expression changed and she immediately looked in the direction of the glacier region. Everyone, be careful. If the ones that are arriving are the Ghost Sect disciples, immediately attack and kill them all!

Yes! Everyone responded simultaneously.

It is Yuan Feng!

Very quickly, Yuan Feng from the Grey Valley appeared in everyones line of sight, along with Yun Song.

Yuan Feng and Yun Song had clearly thinned a lot, while their tattered clothes were completely stained with bloodstains.

It wasnt known whether those bloodstains were their own or not.

The duos complexion was ash-grey. There was a dull look in their eyes and no light in them at all. The impressive aura that they had previously possessed was no longer there.

When they walked over and saw the people of the Lingyun Sect and the Ling Bao Court, Yuan Fengs eyes suddenly blossomed with luster once more.

Finally, weve found you guys! Yun Song loudly cried out in an agonised manner, We encountered disciples of the Ghost Sect in the glacier region! Other than Elder Cousin and I, the others have already been killed in a very tragic manner!

Its good that you guys are here! Quickly, lets head back to the glacier region and annihilate the Ghost Sect disciples!

He was like a person who had drowned and suddenly saw a boat, as he was excited to the point where his whole body was trembling.

Weve already waited for you for a very long time. An Ying coldly looked at Yuan Feng and didnt give him any face, Lets go. Do not waste everyones time. Were heading to the volcanic region to find the Black Mist Palaces Zheng Bin now.

Why do we have to look for the trial takers of the Black Mist Palace? We must first return to the glacier region and kill the Ghost Sect disciples. Afterwards, we can continue with the Green Illusion Realm trial! Yun Song shrieked.

Stop being troublesome! Zheng Rui didnt have a pleasant expression on his face, In order to wait for you people, weve already braved a very large risk. I dont care how many of you have died! Since you two have already arrived, then you should obediently heed our commands. It isnt your turn to give orders to us!

Elder Cousin. Yun Song pitifully looked at Yuan Feng.

Yuan Fengs icy-cold gaze swept past each and every single persons body. After keeping quiet for a moment, he only unenthusiastically said, Listen to them.

When they were at their peak phase, he, Yuan Feng, wasnt afraid of the Ling Bao Court and the Lingyun Sect. However, times had changed. There was only Yun Song and him left of their team. They could only obediently listen to the other two sects.

There is too much spirit beast meat and someone definitely needs to carry it on their back. I think that I need to let them help everyone out by carrying some spirit beast meat on their backs. What do you guys think? Nie Tian suddenly suggested.

I agree! An Ying nodded her head.

It ought to be so! Zheng Rui parroted.

They have to do something too. Jiang Lingzhu agreed.

We havent even recovered yet! Yun Song furiously said.

Nie Tian grinned, We dont need people who dont do anything.

Ill carry it! Yuan Feng said in a cold tone.

T-then Ill also carry it. Yun Song could only obediently do as he was told.

Right, this way youre obedient. Nie Tian smirked and said.
