Chapter 239: A Little Lesson

>!

They thought Nie Li's strength far surpassed theirs, but in reality, his power was still much weaker compared to theirs. The reason they couldn't unleash their true strength in this ancient tomb was because their laws were suppressed.

Nie Li, however, could completely avoid the influence of the Death Law!

After a glance at Nie Li, Xiao Yu whispered, "These are all sub-god level experts from Nether City-level Noble Families!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Nie Li's eyes lit up. He laughed heartily, "You are all too kind! Seeing all of you in such danger, how could I possibly stand by and do nothing?"

"Please tell us what we can do for you, Young Master."

"There's nothing much that needs help," Nie Li smiled faintly, as if suddenly recalling something. "I just remembered something. I ran into some trouble in Black Stone City before. The Witch Ghost Family and the Dark Guild there have some conflict with my people, and I haven't had enough time to deal with it yet..."

"Such a small matter, why would the Young Master need to trouble himself?" The Fire Spirit Clan's sub-god level expert hastily said.

"Exactly! Just leave such a trivial matter to us!" The other sub-god level experts also chimed in.

They had thought Nie Li would make some huge demand, but it turned out to be just such a small matter!

"Then... I'll have to trouble you all. Thank you, thank you!" Nie Li laughed openly.

"Young Master is too polite!"

"Yes, the Young Master saved our lives. We were just wondering how we could repay you!" These sub-god level experts said one after another.

Watching Nie Li put on such a performance, Xiao Yu found it quite amusing inside. He guessed that whatever Witch Ghost Family and Dark Guild were in for a world of hurt this time. With so many noble families involved, wouldn't they just overturn those two groups?

At that moment, the massive ancient tomb was rapidly collapsing. Outside the tomb, several sub-god level experts had finally defeated that giant skeleton. One sub-god level expert had exerted tremendous effort to snatch half of the divine spark and was just feeling excited. Then, the half-divine spark in his hand shattered into pieces and turned into crystalline dust, scattering with the wind.

"That pissed me off. We've been deceived!" That sub-god level expert cursed angrily. Looking up, he saw the ancient tomb also dissolving into dust, carried away by the wind.

Everything seemed like an illusion!

"Damn it. Was this all an illusion?"

All their effort came to nothing! The sub-god level experts could only leave in frustration.

"Young Master, if you have time, please come visit our Yinlong Family!"

"And our Fire Spirit Clan!"

"Since the Young Master still has matters to attend to, we shall take our leave here!" The sub-god level experts saved by Nie Li cupped their fists in farewell to Nie Li, then turned and departed.

"Brother Nie Li, we must also say our farewells here!" Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then looked at Nie Li and said.

"Oh? Well then, brother Xiao Yu, have a safe journey!" Nie Li quickly replied.

Seeing Nie Li's expression, Xiao Yu felt a bit annoyed. He and Nie Li had been through life and death together, yet Nie Li seemed eager to see him off.

Nie Li was indeed eager to send Xiao Yu away. He still held some wariness towards him in his heart. Xiao Yu was very strong and his origins were unknown. Keeping him around was a potential threat, even though Nie Li had saved him. But who knew what kind of person Xiao Yu truly was? In his past life, Nie Li had seen plenty of people repaying kindness with enmity.

"Brother Nie Li, you will be participating in the selection for the Nether Domain Ruler's disciple, right?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"That's right." Nie Li nodded.

"I believe we'll have a chance to meet then. With the golden scrolls I gave you, you should be able to smoothly enter the final competition. I'll be waiting for your good news then," Xiao Yu said with a grin. "I won't go see Ning'er and Ye Ziyun. I'll wait for you all over there!"

Xiao Yu turned and darted away.

Watching Xiao Yu's figure disappear at the edge of the void, Nie Li smiled faintly. This kid had been thrashed quite badly by the God of Death; even the injuries on his face hadn't fully healed. He probably didn't want to show his face, which is why he said his goodbyes so hastily.

Nie Li flapped his wings. The wings behind him were filled with immense power. He retracted the wings and the vambraces on his arms. As long as he wished, these wings and vambraces could grow back at any time.

He took out that mysterious egg. During this battle, the mysterious egg seemed to have absorbed quite a bit of Death Law energy. The cracks on its surface were becoming more and more distinct, spreading across the shell like a spiderweb. He could vaguely feel a vortex within it, constantly drawing in the surrounding law energy.

This mysterious egg could hatch at any moment, but the closer it got to hatching, the greater its demand for law energy. Nie Li didn't even dare to channel law energy into it anymore, fearing this mysterious egg would drain all the law energy within his body.

Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were waiting quietly. When they saw the ancient tomb ahead melt away without a trace, they grew incredibly worried. What if Nie Li had encountered danger?

Just then, they saw a figure slowly walking towards them. Who else could it be but Nie Li?

"Nie Li, you're back?" Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er cried out in surprise and joy, rushing towards him.
