359: Chapter 359 Spatial Nodes

Amivika had heard Amelia's assessment of Nie Ning.

Although he was a bit shameless, his strength was formidable, and he didn't hold too much regard for factional concepts; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Saya leave.

Furthermore, he had always kept to himself and didn't seem like the type to gossip about others.

Yet, he had suddenly lured people away, which clearly indicated he had some other objective.

"Of course, I discovered a spatial node nearby."

Nie Ning smiled knowingly and transmitted his voice to Amivika.

Upon hearing this, Amivika blinked her bright eyes, but immediately, a look of doubt appeared in them: "You didn't misread it, did you?"

If there were a spatial node, with so many Rank 5 Transcendants present, someone would surely have discovered it.

Moreover, with her strength, she was currently only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Rank 6, yet she hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"I cannot be wrong. I have already checked; it is indeed a stable spatial tunnel."

Nie Ning guaranteed confidently.

Amivika nodded thoughtfully: "Then you intend to..."

"What are you two doing?"

Just as Nie Ning was about to speak, Amelia, who was standing to the side, saw the two exchanging glances and asked with a sour expression.

"I discovered a spatial node. How about it, do you want to come along?"

Nie Ning looked at Amelia and explained the matter of the spatial node.

If they entered in advance, their gains would definitely not be poor; they might even be able to take everything inside.

"So, you still need our help, right?"

Amivika looked up at the Transcendants not far away.

The remaining Transcendants in the area truly had little chance of winning against sect members like them, and even escaping would be a difficult task.

"After all, we are family. Of course, I would share such a good thing with you."

Nie Ning said with a shameless smile.

Amivika did not speak, her beautiful eyes flickering as if weighing the pros and cons.

Nie Ning's proposal was not bad; if they entered first, they would inevitably be able to obtain quite a few things.

Furthermore, they had more people on their side, while Nie Ning only had one Rank 5 beast in human form, so the distribution of items would naturally have to be based on the number of people.

"State your conditions. Although you have good taste, you don't seem like someone who likes Amelia, so..."

Amivika tapped her chin with her fingertip, looking at Nie Ning with a smile in her eyes.

Nie Ning smiled: "That's not fair to say. Someone like Amelia—everyone likes her, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Amivika shook her head slightly; she didn't deny it, but she didn't agree either.

Amelia was indeed outstanding and beautiful enough, but the world was not short of beautiful and outstanding girls; it was just that Amelia had the label of Yishi Mansion attached to her.

Therefore, for many people, rather than saying they liked Amelia, it was more accurate to say they liked the faction behind her.

It was Yishi Mansion that bestowed a different feeling upon Amelia, not an attraction inherent to Amelia herself.

"Let's talk about something practical, or it might be a bit too late later."

Amivika said, lazily stretching.

Since things had reached this point, Nie Ning dismissed the idea of continuing to spout nonsense.

"I do indeed need a small favor from your sect. I would like to borrow the forging grounds of Iron Mountain Fortress to refine some things, so I need you all to help keep watch for a while."

Nie Ning stated his purpose for keeping the members of Yishi Mansion.

Otherwise, he would have found a way to go in alone long ago, rather than bringing the people from Yishi Mansion inside to compete with him for treasures.

The main thing was that refining the god-forbidden ring was easy enough, but if he were to upgrade the god-forbidden ring, the earth fire condensed by conventional methods would be lacking.

As a sect that specialized in forging, Iron Mountain Fortress must have a more powerful Fire Gathering Array.

A strange look flashed in Amivika's eyes.

She had indeed heard that someone had forged a high-ranking transcendent artifact last time, and she even knew that person was Nie Ning.

Now that Nie Ning actually wanted to borrow the forging array of Iron Mountain Fortress, he must have the same intention this time.

She was quite curious about what on earth Nie Ning wanted to forge.

After all, ordinary items could not trigger a heavenly tribulation; even an ordinary Rank 7 mystic tool could not do so.

After pondering for a moment, Amivika nodded: "Very well."

"What on earth are you talking about!"

Watching the two exchanging glances, Amelia pouted and asked loudly and irritably.

Because apart from Nie Ning explaining the situation at the beginning, he had gone silent afterward, and she had no idea what the two were discussing.

"You will know in a moment. Let's first deal with the people in the area."

Amivika did not explain, but instead looked at the Transcendants in the area.

Because even Nie Ning didn't want to say, it was clear he didn't want more people to know about this matter. Even if it were to be said, it would be after entering Iron Mountain Fortress.

Under Amivika's beckoning, the dozen or so members of Yishi Mansion had strange expressions, but they didn't say much.

Amelia, with an unhappy expression, summoned the Transcendants opposite them.

It had to be said that Amelia was still very charming; even the Transcendants opposite didn't ask much and gathered around.

Seeing this, Amivika waved her hand, and some yellow silk ribbons flew out from her sleeves, binding the arriving Transcendants together one by one.

Facing a wizard nearing Rank 6, the group had absolutely no room to resist.

"What are you trying to do!"

Someone looked terrified, not understanding why the people from Yishi Mansion wanted to attack them.

"Everyone, rest assured. We won't do anything to you; you just need to stay quietly."

Amivika said, covering her mouth and chuckling.

The reputation of Yishi Mansion was still very useful; most factions did not have much hostility toward them.

"No! You intentionally lured them away to monopolize the treasures inside!"

Among the captured Transcendants, there were some clever individuals who instantly guessed the purpose of Amivika and the others.

However, the item to open Iron Mountain Fortress was not here, and with Rank 5 strength, they could not open the spatial passage leading to Iron Mountain Fortress.

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes flickered, and they began to secretly try to notify others to hurry over.

Amivika had long been prepared. As she injected magic power into the yellow silk ribbons, the ribbons, emitting a soft yellow light, began to tighten and disrupted the energy circuits within their bodies.

"Let's hurry, lest there be complications."

Amivika did not explain, but turned to look at Nie Ning and said.

Nie Ning nodded, then flew toward the place where he had discovered the spatial node, arriving at the destination in two breaths' time.

As Nie Ning beckoned, an insect flew out from the spatial node.

Fearing that others would see, Nie Ning casually destroyed the insect and erased the Power of Corruption within it.

Upon seeing the insect suddenly appear, everyone already knew of the existence of the spatial passage.

However, it looked like the passage probably wasn't very large, otherwise, it would have been discovered by someone long ago.
