565: Chapter 565 An Innocent Look

Fortunately, the dragon egg could be put away, which finally made Nie Ning heave a sigh of relief.

To avoid malnutrition, Nie Ning threw all of his magic crystals into it again.

However, it definitely wouldn't do to keep going like this; he still had to find a place to store it later.

Putting away the Spirit Puppet, Nie Ning finally had time to survey the surrounding situation.

It was still surrounded by high mountains and flowing water.

Nie Ning flew up into the sky, intending to find the location of a teleportation gate or city, but suddenly saw several figures flying towards his direction.

Seeing this, Nie Ning looked closely, and it turned out to be Isidor and the clerics!

Nie Ning couldn't help widening his eyes, not understanding how these people had returned.

As Isidor and the others approached, Nie Ning also saw the wounds on their bodies; clearly, that Corruptor was not so easy to deal with.

"Where did you run off to, and why was there only an avatar there?"

Isidor asked with a gloomy expression, suppressing his anger.

If it weren't for searching for Nie Ning, they wouldn't have lost so many people.

Even though Nie Ning was the holy son of the Nales Church, this kind of behavior seriously touched their bottom line.

"Nowhere much, I was knocked into the sea by a monster, so I found a place to hide."

Nie Ning shrugged and said indifferently.

After all, according to his thoughts, it would be best to plot these people to death, and then wait for the Nales Church to send others over.

If this happened a few more times, even the Nales Church probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

Isidor clenched his fists and glared angrily.

He was extremely furious at Nie Ning's perfunctory words.

"You're courting death!"

Isidor let out an angry shout, giving Nie Ning a huge fright.

For Nie Ning, he was merely relying on Nales's deterrent force, which was why he was so emboldened.

If he were truly to face a Tier 9 powerhouse, he would probably only have the option of kneeling and begging for mercy.

"I..."

Nie Ning had just wanted to defend himself with a couple of sentences when Isidor suddenly stretched out his hand and struck the small hill beside them with a palm strike.

'Boom!'

The entire hilltop exploded, and immediately afterwards, several figures were blasted flying out.

Seeing this, Nie Ning's eyes nearly popped out of his head, not expecting that someone was actually hiding nearby.

"Sneaking around, go to hell!"

Isidor, who was already in a bad mood, didn't waste many words.

An attack like a violent storm erupted, directly beating those dozen or so people into a mist of blood.

Only one Tier 8 wizard managed to tough it out, but he was also beaten into a severely injured state by Isidor.

Isidor, whose mood had eased a bit, didn't continue attacking, preparing to interrogate why the other party was sneakily hiding nearby.

Nie Ning followed closely without changing his expression.

"Why are you hiding here?"

Isidor stared coldly at the Tier 8 wizard.

The Tier 8 wizard instinctively glanced at Nie Ning.

Seeing this, Isidor turned to look at Nie Ning, his voice slightly cold: "Your enemies?"

Nie Ning frowned slightly, thinking of the last expedition.

"Are you the family members of the personnel from the last Extreme Phase Demon Palace expedition?"

For Nie Ning, who was newly arrived, when it came to enemies, it was probably only about the last expedition, which was also the reason why he was sent here.

Seeing the Tier 8 wizard not speaking, Isidor sneered.

"Do you think it'll be fine just by not speaking?"

Isidor aimed his right hand at the Tier 8 wizard, and then the energy within his body erupted; immediately afterward, a translucent miniature figure was sucked out by Isidor.

At this very instant, Nie Ning drew his blade suddenly without any warning.

Under the blessing of the Soul Slashing Secret Technique, the xueyan bladeless slashed onto the Tier 8 wizard's soul body, instantly tearing the severely injured soul body to shreds.

"What are you doing!"

Isidor rebuked angrily with a stern expression.

"Ah, didn't you ask me to personally kill my enemies?"

Nie Ning replied, scratching his head with an innocent look.

Naturally, he couldn't let the other party be captured. After all, nobody knew if they had seen the dragon egg; any accidents needed to be nipped in the bud.

Isidor stared coldly at Nie Ning.

But even knowing Nie Ning had problems, some matters were not up for him to decide.

Because the divine dignity surpassed everything else.

As long as the deity didn't speak up and it hadn't caused extremely severe consequences, he couldn't do anything to a holy son, not to mention that the other party was also involved in the deity's plan.

Isidor was tired and too lazy to argue; he would just wait until later to let the church send someone else over.

Otherwise, he feared that if he stayed in contact with Nie Ning for too long, he would eventually be angered to death alive by Nie Ning.

Nie Ning still maintained a harmless appearance.

After all, this was just the beginning; if he didn't bring down the Nales Church, he truly wouldn't be able to die in peace.

Afterwards, the two didn't communicate much more.

Because it wasn't far from Nimesoya, Nie Ning parted ways directly with Isidor and the others, while Isidor and his group went to deal with the teleportation gate placed in the mountains.

...

Nimesoya.

After returning to the academy, Nie Ning went to see Amanra at the first instance.

Although he had previously told Amanra that he was in seclusion, he had borrowed a mystic tool that concealed breath at the time, so anyone with half a brain would know he had definitely slipped away.

Fortunately, Amanra didn't dwell too much on this matter.

While accompanying Amanra in the evening, Nie Ning inquired about the recent situation.

After all, the time he had been away was not short, especially since it was currently during a period of world reform.

Even if he didn't want to touch upon many things, they would still affect him invisibly.

After a round of inquiries, the only major event that had recently occurred was related to the Teleportation Array.

Extreme Phase Demon Palace had the intention to set up a Teleportation Array, but those major forces did not agree to do so, and even united to put pressure on Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

For those major forces, Extreme Phase Demon Palace being their immediate superior was one thing, but if this Teleportation Array were really opened, wouldn't they be able to run over and shit on their heads at any time?

Moreover, major forces all had their own territories, and quite a few of these forces had conflicts among themselves.

The major forces weren't stupid; with the Teleportation Array connecting right to their backyard, what would they do if someone tried to use it to attack them? Therefore, they naturally disagreed with the proposal to fully open the Teleportation Array.

Of course, the academy's affairs were also one of the reasons; it just happened that two matters were put together.

Now that the major forces had united, even if Extreme Phase Demon Palace had heaven-reaching strength, it still needed to consider its internal situation.

If a real fight broke out, it would cause the overall strength of the Chitian Domain to decline, making it even easier for internal enemies to collude with external ones, and the number of top-tier forces that had perished because of this was not small.

Even enemies coming from just outside the Chitian Domain would still be relatively easy to talk about; what they feared most was that someone unconvinced in their hearts would unite with forces from other worlds to make trouble from within.

Regarding this, Nie Ning couldn't help exclaiming how truly troublesome it was.

If it were Nie Ning alone, he could slaughter his way from the south city to the north city.

But those major forces were different; they needed to be responsible for many things, and when doing things, they had to consider the consequences.

Because they were not just a single person; once they took a wrong step, the dynasty they built might collapse in an instant.
