539: Chapter 539 Discussing Solutions

Nie Ning's gaze swept over everyone present.

However, he was just talking nonsense; he had no idea whether these people had gone out or not.

After all, he was very busy every day, so how would he have time to carefully understand the schedules of others?

But since they had already come out of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, it was naturally impossible for all of them to stay honestly inside the academy.

After all, Nimeisoya is very large and the relationships are very complex; many of these people even have families, so they would inevitably take this opportunity to look after their 'own people'.

Tai Zhu's expression was gloomy, but it was not good for him to say much.

He was clear about the consequences of offending one person versus offending a group of people.

"Alright, the main thing now is to ferret out the hidden Corruptors. Otherwise, once it spreads, I'm afraid our Extreme Phase Demon Palace will become a laughingstock among the major forces this time."

At this moment, Amanra stepped out and said with an unhappy expression.

A teacher pondered slightly and spoke slowly. "It's a bit difficult, and it doesn't feel like the work of Corruptors. Do you think it's possible that this is the work of a Psionicist?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Nie Ning was no exception.

Although the major forces might have researched the Power of Corruption, when it comes to all kinds of strange abilities, Psionicists are actually not bad, and they are more stable.

But Nie Ning had checked before; there is still a big difference between Psionicists and Corruptors, and their auras are fundamentally different.

Because the Power of Corruption possessed by a Psionicist is only enough for the most basic mutations; any more than that, and they would be a Corruptor.

After all, not everyone has Corruption affinity and can be immune to the negative effects brought by Corruption.

Once too much Power of Corruption is gathered, there is a high probability of directly turning into a Corruptor.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning said in a deep voice: "The possibility of a Psionicist is indeed not small, and it is very likely a Psionicist who possesses the ability to control Corruptors."

Among the teachers, a few couldn't help but glance at Nie Ning.

Although many people didn't know Nie Ning, so many people died during the last world exploration, so there were still some people who knew the inside story who knew Nie Ning.

At the same time, they also knew that Nie Ning possessed the ability to control Corruptors.

"Having said so much, aren't you still the one most under suspicion?"

Tai Zhu said sarcastically.

Nie Ning directly ignored Tai Zhu and turned to look at Amanra.

"I might have a way to find the mastermind, but I still need to make some preparations. Could you please gather everyone, Lady Amanra?"

Although Nie Ning was not very willing to intervene, most of the students in the academy had come with their own dreams.

If left unchecked, given the dangerous nature of Corruptors, if not handled well, it would lead to a scene of corpses strewn across the field.

After all, there are thirty thousand students here, and they are all people who possess extraordinary power to varying degrees.

"Alright, tell me if you need anything."

Amanra said, then turned to look at the others: "Go and summon the students; no one is allowed to be absent."

"Lady Amanra, is this somewhat inappropriate?"

At this time, Tai Zhu bowed slightly and looked up at Nie Ning again.

"What if this is just an excuse for someone? What if that hidden person takes the opportunity to devour the students? Not to mention whether it will brew a powerful Corruptor, an incident will inevitably affect the reputation of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, and some even voiced their agreement.

The current academy system is imperative. Whether an incident happens this time is secondary; the main thing is that an incident will definitely implicate them.

Even if the matter is serious, even if they return to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace in the future, they will at most only be able to become marginalized people, and may even face the risk of permanent exile.

For these proud sons of heaven, this is even more unbearable than killing them.

"Then what good solutions do you have? Are you just going to stand here and wait for the students to get infected?"

Amanra's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces, and she said coldly.

Compared to Nie Ning, she was clearer about the backgrounds of these people.

For instance, the people who echoed just now and Tai Zhu are actually people who have grudges against Nie Ning, all related to the last world exploration.

Basically, they are either friends or relatives, and all have some entanglements.

"My Lady, perhaps that Corruptor is possessing one of these people. How about..."

At this time, a Sixth-Order Wizard walked out, and when looking at the motionless students, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.

Amanra hesitated a little.

Killing the relevant personnel is indeed the most direct way to handle it, as it can minimize the potential harm regardless of whether they are involved or not.

But the problem is that they came here to run a school, so the handling method naturally cannot follow their ideas.

Now the academy is still in its initial stage, and the fear is that the news will spread. At that time, it would be hard to guarantee that they won't face public opinion pressure, making the Extreme Phase Demon Palace look bad.

"How about you talk to the Palace Master, and we change back to the original development model?"

Seeing that Amanra was in a difficult position, Nie Ning couldn't help but speak up.

Actually, this is also one of the reasons why Nie Ning doesn't really like joining factions.

Although he has a backer now, there are also more things to worry about. If it weren't for his extraordinary power protecting him, he fears he would have worried until all his hair fell out.

Upon hearing the words "Palace Master," the teacher who had spoken earlier immediately fell silent.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Nie Ning's attitude, he dared not go against the Palace Master even more.

The others couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and among them, some were holding an attitude of it having nothing to do with them.

After all, the relationship between Nie Ning and Amanra is known to everyone. When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. As long as they don't think about climbing up, it has nothing to do with them no matter how big a mess is made.

In short, do whatever you want. If the matter is handled well, they get a share of the credit; if problems arise, they will just stand on the side and watch the fun.

"Just do as Bronk said. Take advantage of the fact that the problem hasn't spread yet and resolve this matter quickly."

Amanra immediately began to give orders.

"Yes, Lady Amanra."

The others all responded one by one, and then scattered to gather the students.

After everyone left, Nie Ning looked at Amanra: "I need a Spiritual Power enhancement array to investigate the connection between that Corrupted object and its main body."

With his sensitivity to the Power of Corruption, as long as the opponent is not too strong, with the power of the array, it should be enough to sense the location of the person behind the scenes.

"No problem, I happen to have one."

Amanra nodded in agreement, and immediately began to set it up in the great hall.

...

Only half an hour later, everyone in the academy had been gathered.

Looking at the dense crowd, Nie Ning immediately began to act, first picking out the people whose Corruption concentration exceeded the standard.

Seeing that everything was ready, Nie Ning returned to the great hall on the mountaintop.

At this moment, in the center of the great hall, an array emitting blue light was situated on the ground, and those students who could not move stood within it.

...
