360: Chapter 360 Entering the Ruins

Amivika flew to Nie Ning's side and expanded her Spiritual Power to sense the area; she could indeed perceive a slight spatial fluctuation.

However, it was not very obvious. When there were many people around, their chaotic auras made it impossible to detect the situation here.

Clearly, Nie Ning possessed keen Spiritual Power, or perhaps some kind of very special ability.

"Let's go."

Amelia nudged Nie Ning with her elbow and said.

Nie Ning wasn't stupid; how could he possibly be the first one to go in?

"Ladies first."

Nie Ning smiled slightly and extended his hand in a very gentlemanly invitation.

Just because the insect was fine didn't mean he would be; naturally, this was the kind of thing to let others do first.

But was there anyone present who was a fool?

If it really was a spatial rift, one wouldn't even know how they died.

"Since you were the one who discovered it, it is only natural that you should go first."

Amelia didn't fall for it at all, curling her lip as she spoke.

Seeing that no one wanted to go up, Amivika shook her head slightly: "I'll do it."

She immediately took a wooden dragonfly out from her spatial ring.

The wooden dragonfly spread its wings and flew up, hovered in front of everyone for two laps, and then dove straight into the spatial node.

After waiting for a moment and confirming the situation inside, Amivika dove directly into the spatial node before Amelia could stop her.

Nie Ning hadn't expected Amivika to be so decisive.

If these people hadn't been willing, he would have sacrificed an arm to investigate the situation inside.

Anyway, his hand would grow back, and in the process, he could make these people owe him a favor, which would give his words more weight later on.

"Let's go."

Amelia glared fiercely at Nie Ning before signaling to the others.

Nie Ning shrugged indifferently and looked at the people who had been bound: "What about them?"

At this moment, the yellow silk ribbon connected to the spatial node gave a tug, and the bound people were pulled into the spatial rift one by one.

As people of Yishi Mansion, they naturally wouldn't wantonly kill innocents and make enemies, as that would be detrimental to Yishi Mansion's own neutral status.

However, using underhanded means to fight over treasures was expected; after all, even neutral factions needed to grow stronger, and they couldn't just yield everything to others.

But generally speaking, killing was a rare occurrence, and others could only suffer in silence.

After all, what was there to say when one's skills were inferior? You should just be thankful they didn't kill you.

At this moment, only Nie Ning and Amelia remained on the scene.

Just as Amelia was preparing to enter, she saw Nie Ning's expression flicker as if he were thinking about something.

"What are you doing?"

Amelia asked, looking confused.

Nie Ning didn't speak, instead drawing the long blade from his waist.

As he infused his battle qi into xueyan bladeless, Nie Ning waved his hand and slashed dozens of blade auras toward the mountain opposite them.

After finishing, Nie Ning sheathed his blade and clapped his hands with satisfaction: "That should do it."

On the mountain opposite, a row of words was carved: "The people are in our hands. If you want to redeem them, bring ten thousand high-grade magic crystals to Mofeng Cliff in the north. Signed: Blind Swordsman."

Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but roll her eyes, inwardly cursing: This kid has so many tricks up his sleeve!

This way, it was quite possible that by the time they finished looting the treasures, those people still wouldn't have returned.

"Don't you dare fall for me; I am just a..."

Nie Ning slicked back his hair in a very flashy manner, but before he could finish his sentence, Amelia kicked him into the spatial node.

...

"Why did you just get in?"

As soon as the two of them entered, Amivika's voice reached their ears.

Amelia glared at Nie Ning and then shook her head: "It's nothing."

Nie Ning, meanwhile, was examining the building in front of them.

They were currently inside a building, and apart from the gray stone, there were only a few simple pieces of furniture placed around, seemingly someone's room.

"We were actually teleported directly inside the ruins."

Nie Ning was somewhat surprised.

"It must be that the formation here is about to fail, which caused the spatial rift to appear."

Amivika, who was standing to the side, looked around and explained softly.

This was not uncommon in the Transcendent World.

Without anyone to maintain the formation, all sorts of issues would arise over time, and that was likely how the spatial node outside had appeared.

Otherwise, given the habits of a seventh-order faction, it would be impossible for them to leave such an obvious entrance.

If it were utilized by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, there was another theory, which was that someone with powerful strength had directly punched through this space.

After all, this wasn't the space of the main world; the space here was relatively weak, so breaking through it wasn't impossible.

"Let's go, we should hurry up and search for treasures."

Amelia was not interested in this place; she wanted to get the treasures here more.

The others also looked in agreement.

It was rare for them to come out as a group, and since this was the territory of the Dark Swamp, it was best to leave quickly before the others returned.

Nie Ning likewise didn't want to delay; after all, he had many things to do on this trip, and he had to find the weapon refining room as soon as possible.

Just like that, the group left the room.

...

Outside was a long, narrow corridor with many rooms on both sides.

There wasn't much inside; apart from the dust covering everything, there were no other traces, which showed that no one had been in here for a very long time.

When the group walked up a staircase and opened a door, they saw a huge courtyard.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and vines had even climbed onto the buildings. In the distance, one could see many ancient, tall buildings wrapped in greenery standing among them.

In particular, on a small mountain in the distance, there was a huge hammer head carved from a hundred-meter boulder.

Nie Ning hadn't expected this space to be so large; he estimated it to be at least about ten kilometers.

To maintain this region, the energy consumed every day alone would be incalculable.

One could only say that those in the arms business were truly wealthy!

"What now? Are we splitting up, or will you stay with us?"

Amivika glanced at Nie Ning and said slowly.

"Uh..."

Nie Ning hesitated a bit.

If he followed Yishi Mansion, any items obtained would definitely have to be split per capita, which was very disadvantageous for him.

However, acting alone would waste a lot of time.

And although it seemed like he had bought a lot of time, in reality, Transcendents were not stupid, and those people outside would likely discover the problem very soon.

Compared to searching for ethereal treasures, he was more inclined to go and refine the god-forbidden ring first.

Because even if his strength had increased, refining the god-forbidden ring would still take quite some time, so completing this matter as soon as possible was clearly the most important thing.

"I came here specifically to refine a mystic tool. I just hope that after you finish searching for treasures, you won't forget what you promised me."

After thinking about it, Nie Ning gave up the plan to search for treasures and decided to refine the god-forbidden ring first.

The others looked at the two of them, not understanding why, and had no idea what kind of secret dealings were going on between them.
