468: Chapter 468 A Rare Kindness

At this thought, the corners of Nie Ning's eyes twitched slightly.

What hero or human lord was he? He was nothing more than a thief who stole others' achievements.

Fortunately, the people of the Yin-Yang Sect didn't seem to notice.

Still, he had to keep a low profile. If they could even smell the scent of the world tree leaf and Power of the Tribe, their strength was probably beyond his imagination.

This also made Nie Ning very curious. The Yin-Yang Sect really possessed some impressive capabilities!

...

The several projections paused for a moment, seemingly consulting each other, before one of them finally walked up to Nie Ning.

"Little brother, I'm sorry, but you do not meet the inheritance requirements of our Yin-Yang Sect."

Hearing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I'm already so special, and you guys don't even have any intention of trying to nurture me?

According to Nie Ning's own understanding, being this special would definitely attract their attention, and joining the Yin-Yang Sect would then follow as a matter of course.

But what was the situation now?

Was he still not special enough?

Nie Ning bowed slightly. "I have wasted your time, milord."

Since they had already put it that way, Nie Ning had nothing left to say. After all, this was their specialty; if he didn't meet the requirements, there was nothing he could do.

At least they were quite polite...

"Milord, can I withdraw?"

Just then, Amivika's voice rang out.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't act on impulse."

Nie Ning tugged at Amivika's sleeve and urged her in a low voice.

Everyone had their own opportunities. With such a great chance right in front of Amivika, giving it up so easily would be a massive loss.

And without the protection of the Yin-Yang Sect, wouldn't they be completely wiped out by Nales in ten years?

Amivika shook her head. "I'm your wife. You can't even take care of yourself. What are you going to do in the future without me?"

Although she had pondered it for a long time, in the end, she still chose to follow Nie Ning.

Because she lacked the power to break through her current environment, rather than groping forward into the unknown, it was better to grow stronger steadily by Nie Ning's side.

"Can I withdraw too?"

Just as Nie Ning was about to persuade Amivika, Xiao Guang raised his hand like an elementary school student and asked.

"What are you trying to do now? If it's about the contract, I can dissolve it."

Nie Ning felt completely numb. Were they all trying to rebel?

The problem was, it was one thing for them to mess around, but what if they angered the people of the Yin-Yang Sect and ended up dragging him down with them?

He was still young; he didn't want to die yet.

"Uh, if you're not going, I'm not going either."

Seeing this, Qian Ning, driven by lust, also jumped out.

"Milords, look at them, they're just talking nonsense. Why don't you just pack them up and take them away? They'll get over this phase in a while."

Nie Ning looked at the projections in front of him and spoke with a face full of smiles.

Although he was deeply touched, they were acting up at the wrong time.

What if, when he tried to join another faction, some of them weren't selected? What should he do then, switch again?

Going back and forth like that would probably waste several years, which was the most golden period of time for them.

One of the projections sighed. "Alas, such affection is rare. I respect your choice, but unfortunately, the sect rules are as they are, and there is nothing I can do."

"If you have nowhere else to go, I can recommend you to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace."

Another projection stepped forward and spoke.

"Milord, you mustn't!"

Suddenly, one of the applicants hurriedly called out.

Nie Ning glanced at the speaker with some curiosity.

The person was a young-looking man with naturally curly brown hair and a handsome, dignified appearance.

And this person was also one of the strongest among the applicants—a twenty-seven-year-old, peak Rank Six wizard, Cleveland Service!

It was no wonder wizards were the strongest group in this world; the higher the rank, the more wizards there were, while other professions became scarcer.

Although other professions were also powerful, they couldn't match wizards in terms of graduation rate. In other words, almost all exceptionally talented individuals would enter the wizard camp.

Because as everyone knew, wizards were incredibly well-rounded in their strength, meaning few exceptionally talented individuals would stubbornly stick to other professions.

"Uh, can I ask, is this Extreme Phase Demon Palace a legitimate place?"

Nie Ning inquired in a low voice.

"Ahem, they rarely do bad things nowadays."

The projection who had made the suggestion replied with slight embarrassment.

Nie Ning was shocked, thinking to himself, My goodness.

Didn't that mean the Extreme Phase Demon Palace had never actually stopped doing bad things?

Besides, wasn't the Yin-Yang Sect a righteous sect? Why would they do something like pushing people into a fiery pit?

"Recently, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace changed its palace master. We have negotiated with them, and they have shown an intention to mend their ways."

"As members of the Yin-Yang Sect, we are naturally pleased to see such a development, and we should give everyone who wishes to leave the darkness for the light a chance."

One of the projections explained.

Hearing this, everyone else had looks of utter disbelief on their faces.

My goodness, you must be joking, right?

The Extreme Phase Demon Palace was notorious. In its early years, it was a typical gathering place for antisocial elements, and many major incidents in the wizarding world had their shadow behind them.

And now you're telling me they've mended their ways?

Sending exceptionally talented people there now, isn't that just sending sheep into the tiger's den?

"Everyone, if you have nowhere else to go, you can come with me to Biluo Cliff. My family is somewhat well-known there, so we can help each other out."

Cleveland calmed his emotions and, disregarding the people from the Yin-Yang Sect, extended an invitation to Nie Ning and the others.

Hearing this, Nie Ning hesitated.

Because the "somewhat well-known" Cleveland mentioned just meant his family had a Rank Nine ancestor...

But the problem was, he belonged to the Nales Church. Nales would never let him go, and it was impossible that Nales hadn't left behind some contingency plans.

Furthermore, Biluo Cliff was a mixed bag of good and bad people, which wasn't very favorable for his actions. If he got sold out one day, he might even end up helping them count the money.

Cleveland probably had other motives as well. He didn't believe in unconditional kindness; once they reached the other party's territory, they would likely be at their mercy.

In comparison, Nie Ning would rather go to an unfamiliar place.

Nie Ning's eyes flickered as he instinctively glanced at Jeff, who was not far away.

He wanted to go to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, but it wasn't on the list provided by the Nales Church. Going there rashly might lead to adverse consequences.

At this thought, Nie Ning sighed inwardly.

This was how it was without strength. He had to be overly cautious in everything he did, and he didn't even have the right to make his own choices.

"Go to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace."

Jeff's voice rang in Nie Ning's ear.

Nie Ning looked at Jeff in surprise, not expecting Jeff to actually have him choose the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

"Thank you for your kindness."

After a brief contemplation, Nie Ning spoke to Cleveland with a slightly apologetic tone.

Before Cleveland could speak, Nie Ning continued.

"I highly agree with the words of the Yin-Yang Dao Envoy. I believe everyone who mends their ways should be given a chance, and I am willing to be a witness to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace walking the righteous path!"

Although Nie Ning was talking nonsense, the look of pity in the eyes of others was plain to see.
