424: Chapter 424 Scalp Trembles

"Make yourself clear, what do you mean it can't be used?!"

Nie Ning's eyes widened, his whole person becoming agitated.

He had already been thinking about how to deal with the Jerky Bear Head upon returning and make up for the mistakes he had committed, and now you're telling me we can't leave?

"This space has been completely locked down. It seems we can only go above," Amivika said quite helplessly.

Hearing this, Nie Ning grimaced and reached up to scratch his head vigorously, feeling as if his whole world was falling apart.

Today had been more eventful than the past few decades of his life combined.

The power of the Black Tide just now was plain for all to see; even a Tier 6 Transcendent could only block it for a moment. The chances of the two of them escaping were minuscule.

"Hurry and go up. I don't want to die yet," Nie Ning hurriedly urged Amivika to leave.

For him, although he had prepared himself to die on the path of the Transcendent, that didn't mean he was willing to die.

At the very least, he had to struggle a bit; what if he happened to survive?

Amivika carried Nie Ning back to the surface, but before them, everything was suddenly shrouded in a gray mist, and even Spiritual Power could not penetrate it.

Seeing this scene, Nie Ning's scalp instantly tingled, and he felt that life was hopeless.

The Human-Faced Balloon!

Nie Ning hadn't expected the Human-Faced Balloon to still be here.

It had been heavily damaged by the Demon Wizard before and had encountered such a powerful Jerky Bear Head; it would have been one thing if it hadn't died, but it had actually grown stronger.

It was precisely because the gray mist blocked Spiritual Power that he couldn't link with the Human-Faced Balloon; otherwise, he would likely have had to experience the thrill of Corruption erosion again.

"Why don't we stop struggling and just wait here to die?" Nie Ning looked at the pitch-black sky, feeling his body being eroded by the gray mist, and said with a look of despair.

After all, he was only a Tier 4 Transcendent. Right now, he probably couldn't even handle the Human-Faced Balloon, let alone the Jerky Bear Head that had already enveloped the entire Yishi Mansion island.

Once the Transcendent here died, I'm afraid even a Tier 9 Transcendent wouldn't necessarily be able to handle it.

If he had previously held a skeptical attitude toward Helian's words—after all, no one would believe such a bizarre thing—now it seemed to him that Helian had been too understated.

And Amivika had also successfully brought about her own demise.

Perhaps if it weren't for Amivika, the Jerky Bear Head might still have been under his control.

Now, let alone them, all the living beings in this area would likely suffer, and it wouldn't be long before it turned into a wasteland.

"Don't give up; we haven't reached that point yet," Amivika said while observing the surroundings.

"Don't bother. Why don't we just do something we enjoy?" Nie Ning had begun to give up; a natural disaster of this level was no longer something they could resolve.

Once too many Transcendents died, or the first Tier 7 Transcendent died, the power of the Jerky Bear Head would immediately manifest.

Seeing Nie Ning fiddling with his collar, Amivika was in absolutely no mood for such things.

After all, she was still young; she didn't want to die, and she certainly didn't want to die in such a desolate, forgotten region.

Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation came from a distance.

Amivika impatiently swatted away Nie Ning's wandering hands, then carried him and flew in the direction where the energy was coming from.

Within moments, a hundred-meter-high barrier appeared before the two of them.

As they approached the barrier, they saw the people inside.

There were only about three hundred people, including Helian and other Tier 7s; even the old witch who had fallen into Qi Deviation was there.

Nie Ning's expression suddenly tightened; he actually saw some of the Black-Robed Persons who had attacked Yishi Mansion.

'Good grief, has the situation reached this point? They've actually joined forces…'

However, Yishi Mansion had thousands of people in total, and adding the Black-Robed Person team, that was a very large number.

Now, only this few remained, which was somewhat lamentable.

And since even Tier 7 Transcendents hadn't escaped, the strength of the Jerky Bear Head went without saying; the chances of them surviving were extremely low.

...

After seeing Amivika, Helian did not make things difficult for the two of them, and they successfully passed through the barrier and walked in.

It was just that the people from Yishi Mansion didn't look good, and they were all staring at Nie Ning with strange expressions, as if they wanted to swallow him alive.

The reason was simple: they knew that the Corruptor had been released by Nie Ning!

Because everyone knew the danger of the Corruptor, almost no one would try to control such a dangerous thing.

Only Nie Ning, this kid of unknown origin, had brought the Corruptor into the city from the very beginning, and later even took away a Corruptor in Blood Rainbow City.

"Haha, what a coincidence." Nie Ning jumped down from Amivika's arms, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and greeted them with a smile.

"Kid, you're the one who released the demon, right?" At this moment, a 7th-Rank Wizard began to berate Nie Ning, questioning him angrily.

It was because of Nie Ning that they had to divert their strength to maintain the portal, which led to heavy casualties when the barrier was broken.

When Nie Ning heard this, he was immediately displeased and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"What do you mean I released the demon? It was Wizard Belen of Yishi Mansion who told me to go. He said the demon was dead; how was I supposed to know it would turn out like this?"

After all, it was a five elements exorcism banner obtained for free, and he was a renowned wizard from Yishi Mansion.

As a young talent, what was so strange about someone doing a good deed for him?

This was also the fundamental reason why he hadn't thought to suspect that the demon was alive.

Because there was no need; if they wanted to deal with him, they wouldn't need to find such a lame excuse.

After Nie Ning finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but turn to look at a wizard wearing a white robe.

"Young friend, if you are correct, there is only one wizard in Yishi Mansion named Belen, and that is me." The White-Robed Wizard stepped forward expressionlessly and said slowly.

Hearing this, Nie Ning was stunned for a moment.

In just an instant, goosebumps rose on Nie Ning, and a feeling of creepiness swept through his whole body.

If the person opposite him was Wizard Belen, then who was the one who had been with him before?

"Sigh, stop joking. It was Wizard Belen who told me to go—Belen Valade—otherwise, how would I know the method to open the demon space?" Nie Ning tried to maintain his composure and argued.

At this moment, he prayed incessantly in his heart; he would rather these people were playing a trick on him than believe that his guess was true.

The White-Robed Wizard shook his head slightly: "I am not joking. For the past two hundred years, I have been the only person in Yishi Mansion named Belen Valade."

Hearing this, Nie Ning reached out his hand.

As the light in his palm twisted, it coalesced into the human form of Wizard Belen.

"It's him. Isn't he a wizard from your place?" Nie Ning continued to ask, unwilling to give up.

However, all the wizards present shook their heads; they didn't know the person Nie Ning was talking about at all.

Seeing this, Nie Ning scratched his head, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

What was going on today? Was he dreaming?

Otherwise, why was he so confused?
