528: Chapter 528 Enforcers

In the eyes of a Transcendent, the standard for judging a top-tier faction is whether it is on par with gods; even if Nie Ning were to grow to Tier 9, he wouldn't have the confidence to seize a divine artifact fragment.

Especially wizards, who have remained powerful to this day.

You have to understand, wizards are notoriously cunning, with countless cases of the weak defeating the strong, the most famous of which is tricking gods to their deaths.

Moreover, in a place teeming with such experts, Nie Ning was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, with almost no possibility of succeeding through wit alone.

To put it bluntly, he was just a young man in his twenties; how could his social experience, knowledge level, and combat experience compare to those old fogeys?

He had already been played how many times along this journey?

If it weren't for good luck, the grass on his grave would probably be three meters high by now.

Nie Ning's only advantage was his self-awareness.

Even if he were lucky enough to get the divine artifact fragment, it would likely be very difficult to shake off Nales' pursuit.

Therefore, after seeing those two spells and the Spirit Puppet, Nie Ning had a different idea; perhaps he could use this to get rid of Nales.

However, whether it would work still required experimentation.

Moreover, he was still missing one thing: a way to prevent Nales from finding him again.

Otherwise, even if he managed to dodge this time, when Nales realized something was wrong, he would inevitably find him again through other means.

Therefore, he had to be fully prepared to buy himself time to grow.

...

Nie Ning placed the crystal tablet back on the counter and then looked at the Receptionist Miss.

"Can these be discounted? For example, three for ten thousand contribution points?"

The Receptionist Miss was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You are joking, sir. This is the pricing of Extreme Phase Demon Palace; I don't have the authority to modify it, and besides..."

As she spoke, the Receptionist Miss glanced at the bustling restaurant in the distance; her meaning was very clear.

Nie Ning couldn't help but rub his nose.

Although he was thick-skinned, asking for such a large sum of money suddenly still made him feel a bit embarrassed.

However, Nie Ning quickly composed himself.

After all, they were a married couple, so their property was naturally shared.

Moreover, the value of a world rune went without saying; ten thousand contribution points were certainly not enough to buy one.

Besides, he was only asking because he considered Amivika one of his own; if it were someone else, Nie Ning wouldn't even bother.

Nie Ning couldn't help but console himself in his heart, then immediately put on a smiling face again.

"Thank you. I've taken up so much of your time. How about we go eat... or go for a stroll?"

Remembering the lesson from last time, Nie Ning changed his phrasing.

"Better not. I can't afford to offend people from the Extreme Academy. If you have nothing else, please leave quickly; there are others behind you waiting to conduct business."

The Receptionist Miss maintained her professional smile.

Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly: "Extreme Academy? What does the Extreme Academy have to do with this?"

"You don't know?"

The Receptionist Miss looked at Nie Ning with some surprise.

"Your wife, Miss Amivika, promoted to Tier 6 last month and defeated Lius, who was ranked 80th in the Extreme Academy. She has already joined the Extreme Academy."

The Receptionist Miss patiently explained.

She was filled with envy.

After all, the Extreme Academy consisted of geniuses among geniuses; even a Tier 6 peak Transcendent ranked 80th was an existence capable of fighting a Tier 7.

From this, one could see how high Amivika's value was.

Nie Ning blinked.

Although he knew Amivika had promoted to Tier 6, he really hadn't expected her to be this strong.

'But that shouldn't be right. Based on Amivika's performance at Yishi Mansion last time, how could there be such a huge change after her promotion?'

After all, a Tier 6 peak at the Extreme Academy was on par with a Tier 7. To have the strength to fight a Tier 7 right after breaking through was even more exaggerated than his own improvement this time.

'An extremely high wind-type Artistic Conception? Could it be a special constitution?'

Nie Ning did know that Amivika had a very high attainment in wind-type Artistic Conception, but he didn't know exactly how high.

Artistic Conception is something difficult to teach, so Nie Ning had never asked about it.

As for a special constitution, that went without saying; the only chance to obtain Amivika's blood was that day at Yishi Mansion.

It was just a pity that Amivika's desire was too intense at the time, leaving him no time at all.

Uh...

Of course, it was also a bit awkward...

"We are just..."

Just as Nie Ning was about to continue inviting the Receptionist Miss, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the hall.

Looking back, seven people wearing gray robes with golden sword-and-staff patterns printed on their cuffs appeared at the entrance.

"Enforcers?"

As a law-abiding person, Nie Ning had naturally inquired about the law enforcement agency of Extreme Phase Demon Palace long ago.

Because Extreme Phase Demon Palace wasn't exactly a good place, and the people inside were all somewhat mentally ill.

To deter these students, the severity of the law enforcement agency far exceeded that of other factions.

If one resisted, in the eyes of the Enforcers, it was an admission of guilt, and they would attack directly without hesitation.

If you were lucky, you'd just be beaten half to death; if you were unlucky, you could be thrown outside to serve as fertilizer.

"Who is so unlucky to be targeted by the Enforcers?"

Watching the aggressive Enforcers, Nie Ning, with the mindset of a spectator, started chatting with the Receptionist Miss.

"I don't know. It seems the major event that happened recently was the world the exploration team went to being destroyed; maybe it has something to do with that."

The Receptionist Miss said casually.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning looked at the Enforcers walking towards him, his mouth twitching slightly.

He shouldn't be that unlucky, right?

Besides, didn't Garcia say it was fine?

The few Enforcers quickly arrived in front of Nie Ning, the baleful aura on their bodies making even Nie Ning feel alarmed.

Moreover, these people had sharp eyes, and just standing there gave people a feeling of terrifying strength.

Before Nie Ning could ask about their intentions, the Enforcers parted, and a middle-aged man in black robes walked up.

His aura was incomparably powerful, and although his face was expressionless, he carried an air of awe-inspiring authority.

"Bronk, you can call me Taylor. We have some matters regarding Lata World to ask you about."

The black-robed man got straight to the point as he approached.

Nie Ning's heart skipped a beat.

This was not good news for him.

After all, he was the one who destroyed Lata World, and he was also the one responsible for the heavy losses of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace and the Yin-Yang Sect; if discovered, he would likely be in big trouble.

"Hasn't the report on Lata World already been written? Is there some issue with it?"

Nie Ning asked, biting the bullet.

Taylor's sharp gaze fixed on Nie Ning: "There are just some new findings. You wouldn't want to talk to me here, would you?"

Hearing this, Nie Ning knew he couldn't hide from it.

The Enforcers were all Tier 7 Transcendents, and this man named Taylor was someone whose bottom line he couldn't even fathom.

Looking at the onlookers around him, Nie Ning could only pretend to be calm.

"Let's go."

Taylor nodded and then turned to walk outside.

Nie Ning took a deep breath and followed the Enforcers out of the hall.
