531: Chapter 531 Leaving the Extreme Demon Palace
Nie Ning stood outside the Enforcement Hall, a hint of hostility lingering in his eyes.
Just then, someone tapped Nie Ning on the shoulder from behind.
Garcia looked at Nie Ning and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Didn't you say it would be fine?"
Nie Ning did not answer, but instead retorted with a touch of annoyance.
"How would I know? I'm afraid you've offended someone. After all, the technique of Time Reversal isn't used lightly; I almost broke the rules twice for your sake."
Garcia rested his hands behind his head and pouted as he spoke.
Although audits are normal, such public reviews are quite rare.
However, it seemed highly likely that this was because too many explorers from this batch had died.
After all, everyone here is a top-tier genius, perhaps carrying the hopes of their entire clan, so it is understandable if they were targeted for revenge.
Nie Ning's expression was gloomy, as he had naturally considered this possibility as well.
The worse part was that he now had no choice but to leave this place obediently.
Yet, once he truly left, the situation would become unmanageable, and his own circumstances would only become more dire.
After all, Extreme Phase Demon Palace was outwardly harmonious; as long as the higher-ups of Extreme Phase Demon Palace were not targeting him, there was basically no threat to his life.
Once he left Extreme Phase Demon Palace, however, it was hard to say; heaven knows if those people would come knocking at his door.
Moreover, with nearly a thousand people dead at once, it was estimated that the Yin-Yang Sect would take action, meaning his enemies were practically everywhere.
Nie Ning suddenly looked at Garcia and sent a voice transmission: "Do you know who the Head of the Enforcement Hall has been in contact with recently?"
Garcia raised an eyebrow, naturally knowing what Nie Ning was asking, but he immediately shook his head.
"I don't know. We were just suddenly called over, too."
Although he did indeed know who Fubin had been in contact with, the nature of things would change if he were the one to say it out loud.
His relationship with Nie Ning was limited to being acquaintances, and he did indeed think highly of Nie Ning.
However, offending those families for his sake was an unwise choice in his eyes; Nie Ning's current value was not yet enough to warrant that.
After all, Nie Ning was just a gigolo living off a woman, and he had even sponged off Sage Huiyuan's connections.
He could clearly stay out of it, so there was no reason to get involved in such a mess.
Hearing this, Nie Ning found it difficult to ask anything more, and the two then parted ways.
...
Upon returning to the castle, Nie Ning told Amivika about what had happened.
Amivika wanted to go and ask Sage Huiyuan for help, but she was refused by Nie Ning.
Debts of favor have to be repaid.
Occasionally borrowing Sage Huiyuan's name might not matter, but for an issue involving the system of Extreme Phase Demon Palace, forcing a change would only make the outcome worse.
Besides, the man didn't like him to begin with; just imagining going to his doorstep was enough for Nie Ning to guess the look on Sage Huiyuan's face.
Nie Ning pondered for a long time and decided to comply with the Enforcement Hall's wishes and leave Extreme Phase Demon Palace.
After all, 500,000 contribution points was no small amount, and the Enforcement Hall would not let him find a loophole; the path of being kept by Amivika was definitely not viable.
If the Enforcement Hall were to get serious, his situation would only become even worse.
However, this was just as well; he might be able to use this to test the Nales Church and utilize the power of the Nales Church to resolve this matter.
Furthermore, there were some things that were inconvenient to do in Extreme Phase Demon Palace that could be completed outside.
For instance, he could search for new worlds himself instead of paying protection money to Extreme Phase Demon Palace.
In fact, apart from the higher danger level of the outside world, there was nothing bad about being out there; he just needed Amivika to send him some resources periodically.
Er...
Of course, there was one more thing that made Nie Ning very worried.
Amivika was too excellent and dazzling; he was truly afraid that one day Amivika would run off with someone else, and he would have to come back to discuss property division with her.
Moreover, Amivika's strange rules were also a problem.
Whether they were true or false was impossible to say; it could only be said that it was better to believe they existed than to assume they didn't. Being cautious was always the right thing to do.
...
Since he had already made a decision, Nie Ning did not delay any longer and began to pack the things he needed.
The most urgent of these was naturally having Amivika provide the funds to purchase the two techniques and the method for crafting Spirit Puppets he had set his sights on.
He did not know when he would be able to return after this, and the longer the Nalaisi matter dragged on, the harder he feared it would be to resolve.
Since this was one of the ways for him to get rid of Nalaisi, it was naturally of the utmost importance.
Because Xiao Guang had been taken away by Sage Huiyuan for seclusion, Nie Ning dismissed the thought of saying goodbye to him.
Fortunately, Amivika could go to Sage Huiyuan's place, and the Golden Scale Dragon Transformation Art had already been given to Xiao Guang by Amivika four days ago.
As for Qian Ning, it was the same.
Because of the massive gap in strength compared to Xiao Guang, Qian Ning was exceptionally attentive to his cultivation.
Previously, when Xiao Guang was at home, he could still come out to wander around, but after Xiao Guang left, Qian Ning directly vanished without a trace.
If it weren't for the fact that he had visited Qian Ning once recently to draw blood, he would have suspected that Qian Ning had gone into a cultivation deviation and died.
For the next three days, Nie Ning barely left his room.
Especially after Amivika learned that Amanra would also be leaving with them, Nie Ning had not gotten out of bed again.
Fortunately, nightmares always come to an end...
...
Outside the Soul-Freeing Ravine.
Amivika was tidying up Nie Ning's clothes, her eyes looking at him with deep affection.
"Play around outside if you must, but if you dare to cause any trouble, I will make sure you know what it feels like to be cuckolded."
Nie Ning glanced slightly awkwardly at the Transcendent people nearby who were looking on with envy: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. You can rest assured about my character."
Amivika didn't speak, but glared fiercely at Amanra, who was watching the show.
Amanra shrugged, flicked her hair, and cast a flirtatious glance at Nie Ning, completely disregarding Amivika.
Noticing the coldness emanating from the depths of Amivika's eyes, Nie Ning hurriedly walked between the two.
"The time is about up; we should get going too."
Amanra smiled: "Then let's go, so we don't have to stay where some people find us an eyesore."
After saying that, Amanra pulled Nie Ning along and nodded provokingly at Amivika.
Amivika's expression was cold and stern, but she didn't say anything more.
After all, the other party was at the peak of the Seventh Order; she was still quite a bit behind right now.
However, Amivika believed that it wouldn't take long before she could personally tear Amanra's two mouths to shreds!
After soothing Amivika with a few words, the group left the Soul-Freeing Ravine in a grand procession.
...
After five days of traveling, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Nimisoya.
A city that was fully five times the size of Blood Rainbow City.
Compared to Blood Rainbow City, this city was not directly administered by Extreme Phase Demon Palace, but was a neutral city with a Ninth Order powerhouse stationed there.
The relationships within were intricate and complex; not only were there personnel from various factions, but churches also existed there.
