568: Chapter 568 Crimson Blade

Two days later.

Nie Ning came to a lake area spanning hundreds of miles.

The surface of the lake was wreathed in mist, looking magnificent under the sunlight.

Nie Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the fish here must be very plump and delicious.

It was a pity that he didn't have time to fish recently, and after eating seafood until he vomited a few days ago, he didn't even want to eat freshwater fish now.

Continuing deeper, two people suddenly appeared and blocked Nie Ning's path.

One of the women smiled like a blooming flower.

"Long time no see."

The one speaking was Audrey of the Crimson Holy Blade.

Compared to before, Audrey appeared slightly more mature at this moment, full of charm all over, and her strength had also reached the mid-tier of the fifth rank.

Nie Ning smiled: "It hasn't been that long, has it? I'm truly imposing a lot this time coming over."

Needless to say, a married woman was indeed different.

"Let's walk and talk."

Audrey shrugged, and then led Nie Ning further inside.

Seeing the empty lake surface, after the three of them flew forward a few meters, what presented itself before their eyes was a completely different scene.

A huge island located on the lake surface.

The island was planted with all kinds of greenery, and flowers bloomed all over the island.

Nie Ning looked back and saw it was still a mist-covered lake, guessing in his heart that this must be the Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water formation recorded in the library of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

The three didn't linger much, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the plaza of the central hall.

At this time, several people were already waiting on the plaza, among whom one exuded a powerful aura, evidently having reached an eighth-rank Transcendent powerhouse.

Nie Ning bowed slightly: "Greetings, my lords."

"No need for such formalities."

The young woman at the head chuckled and raised her hand slightly.

Audrey then introduced everyone to Nie Ning.

The woman speaking was an elder of the Crimson Holy Blade and also Audrey's mother, the eighth-rank wizard Madam Peg.

The other two were of a lower level—two seventh-rank supervisors, who were already middle-level cadres in the Crimson Holy Blade.

As for the strongest in the entire Crimson Holy Blade, it was a ninth-rank wizard, a well-known powerhouse within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

After the introductions, several people were invited into the hall, followed by some casual and unimportant chatting topics.

Originally, it wouldn't have required an eighth-rank to receive them, considering Nie Ning was just an ordinary disciple of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

However, because Nie Ning and Audrey were friends, Madam Peg made an exception to come and take a look.

Nie Ning naturally stated the purpose of his coming here.

To borrow the Teleportation Array to return to the Saint-Ville World.

Now that he had made a fortune, he thought of going back to take a look.

Moreover, Borton's health was not very good, so perhaps he could send back some pills to let him live a bit longer, and just in time check on the condition of the others.

"The Saint-Ville World?"

Hearing this, Madam Peg frowned slightly, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

The Saint-Ville World originally did not belong to the Crimson Holy Blade; it was one of the leftover assets after the disappearance of the Eye of Astral back then.

She had previously heard from Audrey that Nie Ning came from the Saint-Ville World, and should have entered the Saint-Ville World through other means.

Madam Peg slowly spoke: "It is possible, but you must tell us where the other teleportation points are."

Now that the Saint-Ville World belonged to the Crimson Holy Blade, they naturally didn't want anyone else entering their own backyard.

Nie Ning pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright."

He had no conflict of interest with the Crimson Holy Blade, and the Saint-Ville World indeed did not have much utility value for him.

In that barren land, aside from being able to extract star marrow, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as completely useless.

Furthermore, the Crimson Holy Blade held the dominance of the Saint-Ville World, and even the world core was under their control; he had no idle time to contend for control with the Crimson Holy Blade.

"In that case, rest here for a day, and tomorrow morning we will send you to the Saint-Ville World."

After Madam Peg finished speaking, she instructed Audrey to take Nie Ning away from the hall.

...

Strolling on the island filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Nie Ning and Audrey were chatting and laughing when a familiar figure suddenly came into Nie Ning's view.

Chard!

The grandson of Skadi, the vice president of The Federation, and also the person who finally disappeared and ran away when Ska City was invaded by the Corruptor back then.

At this time, Chard had not become very strong; he was merely a second-rank wizard.

Moreover, due to world suppression, even after experiencing the baptism of truth transformation, such a living environment remained full of pressure.

After all, here, people with exceptional talent were the least lacking.

Furthermore, Charlie was not a local, so naturally he couldn't get the treatment locals deserved.

Chard's face was rather haggard, and he seemed to be in a distracted, dazed state. For someone who had been pampered, such an environment was almost like hell.

"What, do you know him?"

Seeing Nie Ning's unusual expression, Audrey glanced at Charlie and asked.

"An enemy from the past. Ska City almost perished at his hands back then."

Nie Ning said indifferently, feeling no pity because of Charlie's current state.

Hearing about Ska City, Audrey raised her brows slightly.

Although they liked studying other creatures very much, they rarely went on massive slaughters of innocent lives.

Wizards only pursued truth. Unless necessary, they wouldn't easily launch large-scale massacres; after all, living beings were also a kind of resource.

"I will handle this matter. Let me take you to look around other places."

Audrey said with a smile.

Since Nie Ning had said so, trading an otherworldly native for Nie Ning's friendship was definitely a profit for them.

Hearing this, Nie Ning nodded.

Looking at Charlie's departing figure in the distance, Nie Ning didn't show up to mock him, because it didn't have much meaning.

Charlie was simply too weak now, so weak that he couldn't summon any interest at all.

Since someone was willing to do it for him, Nie Ning naturally didn't want to dirty his own hands.

Afterwards, the two chatted and laughed, as if they had never seen Charlie, and continued strolling around the Crimson Holy Blade.

...

Turning around and wandering about, suddenly a series of intermittent explosions caught Nie Ning's attention.

Nie Ning looked towards the source of the sound, and inside a huge blue barrier, someone was releasing various witchcraft skills inside.

Nie Ning was quite curious about this.

In fact, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace also had places for Transcendents to experiment with witchcraft.

However, the IQ of Transcendents inside the Extreme Phase Demon Palace was not low, and the things they came up with were naturally not simple gadgets.

To prevent others from plagiarizing, many people preferred to experiment at home.

This caused the places used for practicing witchcraft techniques to basically become decorations.

Previously when Nie Ning lived in the Soul-less Ravine, several people nearby had been blown to death because they experimented with witchcraft techniques and destroyed the dangerous devices inside their laboratories.

Currently, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace was planning to use space-folding technology to turn that area into separate multiple experimental space zones.
