450: Chapter 450 Awakening Phenomenon

After a flurry of chaotic activity, the group finally managed to save the physically frail Korda.

Looking at Korda, who wore an expression of someone who had just survived a brush with death, the group couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

It had been so long that they had all forgotten Korda was still just an ordinary person.

It was pure luck this time; Nie Ning happened to be blocking the path in front of Korda, otherwise, the shockwave from just a moment ago would have been enough to kill him.

However, the group possessed many high-quality items, so healing a severely injured person was not a major issue.

The only drawback was that those potions were incredibly potent. At this moment, Korda's face was flushed red, looking as if he were drunk, and his entire consciousness appeared to be in a daze.

After dealing with Korda, Nie Ning and the others looked toward Qian Ning's room again, but after some thought, they decided not to break down the door.

Everyone was an adult, after all, and they knew when to exercise self-restraint. Since Qian Ning didn't want them to enter, she surely had her own reasons.

What if she really wasn't wearing any clothes?

...

Time ticked away second by second. Nie Ning could sense Qian Ning's life force, and it showed no signs of significant weakening or fluctuation.

At this moment, the group sat on the sofa, watching television while eating a grand meal.

It had to be said, Nie Ning actually quite missed days like these, even though he didn't watch TV in the past and only ever played on his phone...

As night fell, Nie Ning suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation of Elemental Power.

Xiaoguang, the Transcendent beast with keen senses, and Amivika, with her explosive combat power, naturally felt it too.

Furthermore, a bright light shone in from outside the massive floor-to-ceiling window.

The group turned their heads to look at Qian Ning's door, where a wisp of colorful mist was swirling and twisting.

Looking out the window, a beautiful aurora shimmered in the sky, constantly switching between various colors.

A look of surprise appeared on Nie Ning's face: "Wow～ Look, there's an aurora! Is Liuguang City celebrating a festival today?"

Amivika, who was beside him, rolled her eyes.

At this moment, she couldn't be bothered to argue with Nie Ning. His eccentric personality made him completely unpredictable, and sometimes it was even impossible to tell whether what he said was true or false.

After all, pharmacology was a complex discipline; no normal person would concoct potions haphazardly without any certainty.

Yet, feeling the changing Elemental Power in the surroundings, it was clear that this was a celestial phenomenon caused by Qian Ning.

To think she could actually heal a defective Yuanfa Body—she was truly becoming more and more interested in Nie Ning.

Xiaoguang walked to the window and pressed against the glass to look outside.

Beneath the pitch-black night sky, colorful clouds drifted to form a vortex, and the scattered Elemental Power converged into an aurora.

...

Clearly, they weren't the only ones who had noticed the phenomenon. Many unidentified Transcendents had appeared in the sky, all watching the changes above with solemn expressions.

And in their experience, something like this could only happen when someone promoted to Rank 7 or above.

In other words, had someone else in the city promoted to Rank 7?

...

Nie Ning walked to the window, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart.

He could clearly sense that the Elemental Power here hadn't increased significantly, and its intensity wasn't as high as Saya's, so why was this person capable of causing such a commotion?

Could it be that this constitution just likes to make a flashy display of things?

But that shouldn't be right; why didn't he have one?

Moreover, what worried him was that someone would likely realize the source of the problem here very soon.

After all, individuals with special constitutions were a rare resource. Even if Nie Ning wanted to get rid of this burden as quickly as possible, he still had to consider Qian Ning's safety.

He didn't want to sell Qian Ning off only for her to be dissected by someone later; that was not what he wanted to see.

Sure enough, not even a few seconds later, several Transcendents arrived near the hotel.

These Transcendents possessed incredibly powerful auras that exceeded the upper limits of Nie Ning's perception, making it impossible to judge their strength.

Just then, a lecherous-looking, disheveled old man arrived at the window where Nie Ning and the others were located.

"Greetings."

The lecherous old man waved to greet Nie Ning and the others, though his eyes involuntarily drifted toward the room where Qian Ning was.

Nie Ning did not answer, his flickering eyes filled with a hint of vigilance.

Amivika, standing to the side, also wore a solemn expression.

Because in her perception, the opponent's strength was clearly higher than her own, bringing her a strong sense of oppression.

"Since you aren't talking, I'll take that as you inviting me in to sit."

Seeing that Nie Ning and the others remained silent, the lecherous old man began to approach the window.

Seeing this, Nie Ning and the others felt their magic power surge.

Although they couldn't beat him, if they could attract the attention of the official authorities, it might at least force these outsiders to restrain themselves.

"Warning, please stay away from here, or I will apply to initiate the Armed Protocol."

The voice of the armed puppet suddenly rang out.

Hearing this, the lecherous old man actually stopped in his tracks, his gaze shifting to the armed puppet whose eyes were glowing red.

The armed puppet had been in standby mode the whole time, and he hadn't even noticed that there was an armed puppet exclusive to Liuguang City here.

At the same time, among the metal spheres floating above the city, one of them began to emit a red light and was rapidly approaching the hotel.

At this moment, the lecherous old man suddenly turned obsequious: "Just joking, I'll leave right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lecherous old man turned and fled in the direction he came from.

Nie Ning looked back at the inconspicuous armed puppet with great surprise.

Because after they had entered the room, the armed puppet had found a corner to stay in on its own, and they had even forgotten that there was an armed puppet here.

"Phew～"

Amivika let out a long sigh of relief.

That was the deterrent power of Liuguang City, which was also why it was one of the cities that ordinary people yearned for the most.

An almost absolutely safe living environment allowed people to stay as far away from persecution as possible.

Although it couldn't guarantee one hundred percent safety, for ordinary people, this was already incredibly precious.

Even in Blood Rainbow City, quite a few people died every day due to fights and brawls between Transcendents.

Nie Ning was one of them; when he first went to Blood Rainbow City, he killed quite a few people, even disguising it as the work of a Corruptor.

However, because no ordinary people had died, and the Yishi Mansion wasn't investigating the matter with full force at the time, Nie Ning was able to get away with it.

And by the time Nie Ning entered the sights of the Yishi Mansion, the deaths of individual Transcendents were no longer enough to compare to Nie Ning's value.

At the same time, conflicts between Transcendents were difficult to manage, with various spell techniques emerging one after another, many of which even the Yishi Mansion couldn't trace back to the culprit.

But Liuguang City was different. Liuguang City possessed an unprecedented Transcendent Artificial Spirit, and the entire city was under the vision of that Artificial Spirit.

Moreover, compared to ordinary Artificial Spirits, the one in Liuguang City had many added prerequisites, and many incidents were handled jointly by the Artificial Spirit and the adjudicators.

Most importantly, the control over the Transcendent spirit did not lie in the hands of the city's adjudicators or high-level officials; the final judgment of any matter had to be implemented according to the laws of Liuguang City as the standard.
