469: Chapter 469 High Risk

Nie Ning felt his scalp tingle under their gaze; he couldn't shake the feeling that he had overlooked something.

Perhaps he should have asked what this Extreme Phase Demon Palace was all about first?

Cleveland opened his mouth, but eventually shook his head slightly, "Good luck."

After saying this, he looked toward the projection, "My Lord, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

One of the projections nodded, not stopping Cleveland.

After all, prejudice was common, even though he didn't particularly care for that bunch of lunatics either...

But since they were already like that, the Yin-Yang Sect couldn't exactly tell them to stop changing, could they? Or should they just tell them to keep staying on the demonic path?

The key was that they couldn't take down the Extreme Phase Demon Palace in the short term, otherwise they would have already moved to wipe out that bunch of brain-damaged fools.

Now, recommending a few people who had no fate with the Yin-Yang Sect to go there was a perfect way to see what was actually going on inside the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, and whether they were up to no good behind the scenes again.

...

Following this, those who did not join the Yin-Yang Sect began to leave one by one; of the fifty-plus individuals with exceptional talent, only nine remained.

Although that was quite a few, to pick only seven from this group of elites—anyone of them would be a genuine, one-in-ten-thousand genius if placed outside.

Of course, there were originally ten...

The gazes of the several projections swept over Nie Ning and the others, and then one of them stepped forward.

"Although you have no fate with the Yin-Yang Sect, we still hope that you all have a bright future, shining eternally like the stars in the sky."

After the projection finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Dao Envoy handed Nie Ning and the other three four bronze tokens, each inscribed with the character 'Extreme'.

"Many thanks, My Lord."

Nie Ning and the others took the tokens and bowed respectfully to express their gratitude.

Regardless of anything else, their conduct was truly beyond reproach.

There were no overbearing or strange maneuvers; they embodied magnanimity and informality to the fullest.

Regarding this, Nie Ning felt deeply moved.

If everyone could be this kind and loving, how wonderful this world would be.

As the recruitment ended, the people from the Yin-Yang Sect also gave Nie Ning and the others a gift: a precious medicinal pill used for cleansing the marrow and improving one's aptitude.

Once the Yin-Yang Dao Envoy and his people left, Nie Ning and the others followed Jeff out of the hotel.

...

The manor.

Nie Ning lay on a rocking chair, examining the medicinal pill in his hand that shimmered with a seven-colored halo.

The Neon Jade Pill, a miraculous medicinal pill rumored to be able to even elevate a Transcendent-grade talent; this was the gift the Yin-Yang Sect left at the end.

One had to admit, they were worthy of being a major power; this level of generosity was simply shocking.

Just this pill in his hand, if put on the market, would be the type that had a price but no supply; it was estimated that even ten thousand high-grade magic crystals might not be enough to buy it.

At this moment, Jeff walked out from the other end of the corridor.

"Holy Son."

Nie Ning waved his hand, signaling for the other to sit, "Tell me about that Extreme Phase Demon Palace."

Although he had the introduction token from the Yin-Yang Sect, whether he would go or not still depended on the situation.

If it was too dangerous, then he would take back what he had said before; let whatever bullshit Witness go to hell.

"The Extreme Phase Demon Palace is located in the Soul-less Ravine in the northern part of the Red Sky Region; it is a naturally special place where space is abnormally distorted."

"The gravity there is extremely chaotic, and the Extreme Phase Demon Palace has set up a large Defensive Formation there, capable of manipulating the gravity inside. Ordinary Transcendents find it very difficult to move around on their own in there."

"The Extreme Phase Demon Palace was originally established by some extreme individuals who were not understood by outsiders, and it gradually developed and grew over time."

"However, because the people inside the Extreme Phase Demon Palace have active minds and always like to do very risky things and experiments, it has led to several large-scale catastrophic events."

"Currently, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace has a new Palace Master. Although they have been much more behaved lately, the situation is still unclear. Many people believe that the Extreme Phase Demon Palace is deliberately feigning weakness, and there are rumors that they are preparing to do something big."

Jeff finished introducing the Extreme Phase Demon Palace in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning's head began to ache; he felt as if he had done something stupid again.

Although Jeff had been very subtle, he could still tell that this Extreme Phase Demon Palace was very wrong.

It seemed they weren't necessarily bad people, just geniuses who would do stupid things.

Often, these types of people are the most terrifying because you simply cannot predict their next move.

And yet, these geniuses also possess powerful strength, and ordinary people can't really do anything about them.

It was likely that the Yin-Yang Sect's compromise was also insincere; perhaps there were other hidden reasons involved.

"Do they have what we need there too?"

Nie Ning asked casually.

Jeff nodded, "Yes."

"Then why weren't they on the list?"

In the list Eugene gave at the beginning, there were a few more than the ones the gods provided, but this so-called Extreme Phase Demon Palace was not among them.

"According to incomplete statistics, nearly half of the undercover agents who joined the Extreme Phase Demon Palace have been turned."

Jeff explained.

"Well, there's still the other half, it seems the Extreme Phase Demon Palace isn't that great after all."

Just as Nie Ning finished speaking, Jeff shook his head, "The other half have almost all disappeared; there is simply no trace of their existence to be found."

Hearing this, Nie Ning widened his eyes, "With such high risk, you want me to go? Which half do you want me to become?"

"Even as powerful as the Extreme Phase Demon Palace is, they cannot kill people at will. After all, they need manpower to work, and being discovered is a process that takes time."

Jeff said this, still expressionless.

Nie Ning stared at Jeff for a while, but didn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation, and in the end, could only roll his eyes in return.

'I hate these damn high-level professionals!'

But it was fine; at worst, he just wouldn't choose the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

There were so many top righteous factions available; joining any one of them would surely be better than the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

It was just that what he had said earlier would be void, and he didn't know if anyone would mock him about this in the future.

"I have already contacted the Pope, and he strongly approves of you going to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace. He even had me bring you ten thousand high-grade magic crystals to cover your expenses at the Extreme Phase Demon Palace."

As Jeff said this, he placed a pouch on the table next to the rocking chair.

Nie Ning didn't speak upon hearing this; a flash of sharpness crossed his eyes.

This Jeff looked quite honest, but it was likely just an act he was putting on in front of him.

'It seems this Holy Son status of mine is still a bit watery.'

Nie Ning lay back on the rocking chair and spoke in a cold voice, "Are there some threats you haven't told me yet?"

Since these people had even prepared the funds, they had probably already considered what to say if he refused to go.

"I wouldn't dare."

Jeff replied with his head bowed.

Nie Ning sneered, "Then do you mean I can choose to go somewhere else?"

"Of course, as a child of the God of Nalais, you are always free."

Jeff's face was filled with reverence when he said this.

Hearing this, Nie Ning frowned slightly.

Was it really that simple?

Did he misunderstand the Nales Church?
