572: Chapter 572 The Shapeshifter?

Tracy looked at the slightly unfamiliar man before her.

Although so many years had passed, Nie Ning's appearance still hadn't changed much; the only change perhaps being that he was more confident and unrestrained than before.

Having mixed in Ska City for so long, and having become the master of the Viscount's Estate after Viscount Spindu's death, she naturally knew that Nie Ning was a powerful wizard.

Therefore, she was very worried about Nie Ning's sudden appearance, though not for her own safety...

"How about it, won't you introduce him to me?"

Nie Ning asked with a smile, looking at the Little Boy behind Tracy.

Tracy did not speak, only staring at Nie Ning with a guarded expression.

This child was the heir to the Viscount's Estate and the source of her wealthy life; she would never allow her extravagant life to just vanish like this.

Seeing this, Nie Ning smiled faintly.

He immediately took a green pendant out of his spatial ring.

Tilting his head behind Tracy, the Little Boy looked curiously at the jade pendant that materialized in Nie Ning's hand.

Nie Ning gently raised his hand, and the jade pendant flew in front of the Little Boy.

Tracy wanted to stop it, but her body couldn't move, and she could only watch helplessly as the jade pendant was placed on the Little Boy's neck.

"This jade pendant should be able to protect him for a lifetime."

Nie Ning looked at Tracy, paused for a moment while speaking, and then took out paper and pen to write.

After finishing writing, Nie Ning took out a spatial ring and put the letter inside, along with some cultivation methods and cultivation resources.

"If one day he is unwilling to resign himself to the status quo, the things inside might be able to help him."

Glancing at the Little Boy, Nie Ning shoved the ring into Tracy's arms, then turned and left Shangrong Alley.

Until Nie Ning completely disappeared did Tracy let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly picking up the Little Boy to check on him, as if fearing that Nie Ning would harm the Little Boy.

After making sure the Little Boy was fine, Tracy looked at the green pendant on the Little Boy's neck.

After a wave of inner conflict, she ultimately did not take it off.

Tracy lost all leisure for strolling, turned around, took the Little Boy, got back into the carriage, and left this place.

...

On a tall building in the distance, Nie Ning quietly watched Tracy's departing carriage.

Although his mood was somewhat complicated, everyone had their own path, and following him wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Reflecting on the journey he had walked, experiencing so many life-and-death crises, he might die on the path of growing stronger any day now.

Nie Ning sighed inwardly.

As a breeze blew past, Nie Ning's figure slowly vanished.

...

Returning to Lilith's manor.

Because no one had been tending to it, the area around the manor was now overgrown with weeds.

Nie Ning didn't clear the weeds, lest others think the master of the house had returned.

Strolling around this memory-filled manor, Nie Ning couldn't help but sigh at how things remained the same while people had changed.

Back then, he was still feigning ignorance inside the manor, but now he had unexpectedly become a powerful Tier 6 Transcendent.

Nie Ning thought of Lilith and Norma, but unfortunately Moon City was very far from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

Moreover, that place was the territory of the church, and rashly going there to look for them would likely bring huge trouble.

Returning to the room beside Norma's small building, a thick layer of dust had already covered the inside.

Nie Ning waved his hand, and the dust flew out of the room.

Lying on his small bed, Nie Ning felt exceptionally peaceful at this moment; even his troubles dissipated a lot, giving him an inexplicable sense of relaxation.

Not long after, Nie Ning fell fast asleep.

...

Four days later.

Nimesoya.

As soon as Nie Ning returned to the academy, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit abnormal.

Looking at those students pointing and whispering, Nie Ning's mind was full of question marks.

'As expected, a person cannot be too handsome, what a trouble ~'

Nie Ning shook his head slightly, didn't pay too much attention to it, and flew back to the central hall to find Amanra.

To Nie Ning's surprise, he saw an unexpected person inside the hall.

Wandru!

Back then, this guy disappeared after handing the Myriad Paths Reversing Human Scripture to him. After asking around multiple times, he only knew that Wandru had been sent out on a mission by the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

Besides that, there were also a few people with extremely powerful auras.

What caught Nie Ning's attention was a rather ordinary-looking man.

He didn't have a powerful aura, but those eyes seemed capable of insighting into the stars, as if all secrets had nowhere to hide in the other party's eyes.

Nie Ning's heart tightened; at least Tier 9!

He just didn't know which faction he belonged to; running over here couldn't possibly be because of the reform matter, right...

...

"Let me introduce."

Amanra gave Nie Ning a wink, and then began to introduce with a smile.

That person who didn't reveal his aura was Elder Fengjue of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, the other two were Tier 8 enforcers, along with Wandru and other Transcendents below Tier 7.

Coming here was precisely for a series of matters such as the Teleportation Array.

A look of solemnity surfaced in the depths of Nie Ning's eyes.

As expected of a major faction, just the ones he saw already included four Tier 9s; this truly wasn't something ordinary factions could compare to.

"Bronk greets you, my lords."

Nie Ning bowed slightly toward the few of them.

Hearing this, a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the crowd.

"So you are the shapeshifter from recent rumors."

One of the Tier 8 Transcendents looked at Nie Ning, stroked his beard, and his expression showed a hint of emotion.

"What shapeshifter?"

Nie Ning's head was full of question marks, and he couldn't help looking at Amanra.

As Amanra explained, Nie Ning finally understood the cause and effect.

I don't know which bored-out-of-their-mind fellow compiled a baffling leaderboard, gathering data and information on a whole bunch of genius Transcendents.

Naturally, his was among them.

And on it, he was labeled as a shapeshifter, possessing some sort of transformation-type bloodline, or having practiced some very special spell, along with speculations of being a transformation-type Psionicist.

It was specifically written that he could turn into many alien creatures, and even that he could transform into a giant dragon was clearly marked.

But you must know, he had only used the giant dragon transformation at the Crimson Holy Blade a few days ago, and the Nales Church could basically be ruled out as gossipy suspects.

For the other party to be able to know about this matter so quickly, it was sufficient to show that the other party should be proficient in some kind of astrology-type prophecy spell; otherwise, it would be impossible to learn this news so quickly.

The leaderboard also noted skills he learned such as the Taixu Annihilation Blade, as well as his experiences since appearing from Blood Rainbow City, and so on.

Even his wife was marked on it.

...

"They are all rumors, not credible. If I had such great ability, I would have already gone to challenge those people at the Extreme Academy."

Nie Ning directly denied that bullshit leaderboard.

Most importantly, that bastard actually ranked him 32nd among Tier 6!

Nie Ning had never heard of most of the people on the leaderboard, but he had heard of the one ranked fifth.

Jonas Shelley, a person from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, a Tier 6 peak Transcendent at only twenty years old.

If it were just age, as long as the various factions were willing to pay the price, let alone twenty years old, a Tier 6 peak at 12 years old could be manufactured.
