Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 167: Chapter 77 Spirit Extinguisher_2

”No magic potion? Doesn’t that mean, to obtain this ability, one must rely entirely on luck?” A female elector beside him was also surprised, ”He, a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User, actually has this special ability?”

”Is the Overlord of Western Chu also a Spiritual Ability User? And the Night General gained high-level ability by mimicking Overlord Xiang Yu? Does he have other Faces?”

”Directly mimicking other path’s powerhouses? What’s his background?”

”Could it be the handiwork of a King of Restricted Zone, or a blessing from a Divine being of the Void Realm, or possibly it’s from Chaos...”

Suddenly, an Ark elector spoke up, ”Captain, do you happen to know which Divine being the Night General’s backer is from?”

Captain? So one can directly ask the Captain?

Li Yelai had a thought.

But then he saw a strange person wearing a waiter’s uniform with no facial features, suddenly appearing in the corner, replying, ”I don’t know, but the Captain said, it’s unlikely to be one of the Chaos Five Gods.”

”Indeed, if it was a believer of Chaos, they wouldn’t hand over such important ability to the officials.” An elector spoke up.

”What a pity, that Night General has already been taken by the officials of the Giant City. Otherwise, he would surely have received an Ark ticket...” An elector expressed regret.

”Hmph, such a special ability, I wonder what kind of power it would have if turned into Spiritual Ability Equipment!” An elector spoke with a sinister tone.

”Stop joking, among us here, there might be an official from the Giant City.” Someone coldly reminded them, ”Moreover, as long as the Old Mad King is not dead, would you dare go to No. 3 Border City?”

Clearly, both the Ark electors and the Captain were astounded by Li Yelai’s special ability.

Though it should have been confidential, as Li Yelai’s strength grew, it was ultimately impossible to keep it secret.

Might as well sell it as intelligence to Mr. Shadow, gaining more trust while securing some benefits.

Mr. Shadow was also a bit surprised, and after a few seconds of silence, continued to ask, ”How many Faces does he have?”

”So far, we’ve only found out about one. The person is an official; we didn’t dare get too close,” Li Yelai replied, not willing to reveal all his secrets yet.

Mr. Shadow nodded, ”I see, being covertly attacked by such a unique individual, I don’t feel wronged by losing a physical body.”

Then, looking at Li Yelai, he continued, ”Your information is very important, I will also fulfill my promise to create an Ash Summoning Item for you. Have you brought the corpse?”

”Of course.” Li Yelai nodded, gesturing with a wave of his hand, the corpse of the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt suddenly appeared on the ground beside him.

The next second, the corpse was beside Mr. Shadow.

The massive and majestic corpse of the horse caught the eyes of many Ark electors.

”A Fourth Awakening Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt?” Mr. Shadow reached out to touch the corpse, taking the corpse away with a chuckle, ”Not bad, Copper Face. Even with Golden Armor injured, your organization managed to hunt such an extraordinary creature. It’s a good choice, I will create the summoning ash in three days. Come to the Ark to collect it then.”

”Thank you, Lord Mr. Shadow,” Li Yelai, still acting as ’Copper Face,’ responded respectfully.

”As for the information gathering on the Night General, do not stop, but be cautious, there must be a Divine being behind him,” Mr. Shadow reminded.

”Yes,” Li Yelai thought to himself, Buttercup, you really have a knack for seeing true characters, someday I must let you meet Mr. Shadow.

Then, there followed various deals and intelligence sharing.

Li Yelai kept his focus on Ming Xing, Phantom, and Wolf Map.

Unfortunately, the three did not share any information but only engaged in private deals with other electors, without showing their cards.

After some thought, Li Yelai also shared a piece of intelligence: ”The officials of No. 3 Border City discovered a sub-branch of the Ember Church in the Underground City and launched a siege against the sub-branch a week ago. They presumably succeeded in annihilating it.”

”A week ago? The Ember Church... I see,” someone said, ”The same week, the Yaoqing Giant City Spiritual Ability Family, the Jing Family, along with the Processing Department of the Yaoqing Giant City, formed an expedition. They left the Giant City, heading southeast. Perhaps they were drawn to No. 3 Border City.”

”The Jing Family?” someone questioned. ”Is it the family with an Eighth Awakening Spiritual Ability User?”

”Yes, after the Calamity, seventy percent of the population was devoured by the Disaster Fog. But among them, some strong individuals killed their way back and brought back a wealth of technology and knowledge from the Void Realm.

With this knowledge, the surviving humans built the Giant City. Some of them established families, relying on mysterious legacies and knowledge, and their family members also grew rapidly in strength.”

The Jing Family was a powerful family located in Yaoqing Giant City, also known as Yaoqing Jing Family.

They once had a king-level powerhouse, but he died in battle in the Forbidden Zone Immortal Ruins during the development of the Giant City. Now, the strongest is a Spiritual Ability User of the Eighth Awakening. Someone casually responded, ”Among those present, there must be members of some families, right?”

No one responded, and even if there were, they wouldn’t reveal their identities.

Li Yelai took note of this, the Yaoqing Giant City, Jing Family, they might be coming to No.3 Border City.

After that, there was an exchange of intelligence among them.

Li Yelai tried hard to memorize this intelligence.

Until a new elector suddenly said, ”Half a month ago, in a wilderness about fifty kilometers from Lava Mine City, a village was slaughtered to the last person.”

Li Yelai’s heart stirred, Lava Mine City was an ally of No.3 Border City. This intelligence might be very important.

”Who was the murderer? Ember Church? Or some caravan or bandits?” An Ark Chosen One casually asked. This was not something rare; outside the Giant City, there was no civilization, anything could happen.

”That’s not the point,” the new elector said gravely. ”According to what I know, there was a young girl in that village who awakened as a Spiritual Ability User a few days ago, she might have been killed too, but her body was taken away.”

The Ark Chosen Ones were very calm, everyone seated was a Spiritual Ability User, and all were exceptionally talented.

The life and death of a Spiritual Ability User seemed not to be a big deal.

However, the next words of the new elector stiffened their bodies.

”From the traces left at the scene, she should have been a Spirit Extinguisher in her lifetime!”

A Spirit Extinguisher, an extremely special and rare Spiritual Ability User!

Their spiritual resistance was extremely high, so high that even their own Spiritual Energy would be mercilessly suppressed.

Although their own Spiritual Energy was suppressed, such Spiritual Ability Users were the nemesis of all other Spiritual Ability Users, capable of suppressing nearly any attack or Spiritual Barrier of other Spiritual Ability Users.

Such Spiritual Ability Users were often protected like treasures by officials once they appeared and were carefully taught. If used to suppress Taboo Items, the Taboo Items couldn’t stir up any trouble at all.

Or, they could be trained as Iron Guards, specially tailored to combat Spiritual Ability Users on the battlefield. Even Spiritual Barriers could be broken!

Whichever force obtained a Spirit Extinguisher would protect them closely.

However this time, before those forces discovered her, this poor girl had met with disaster.

”What a pity... a Spirit Extinguisher,” an Ark Chosen One sighed with regret, then asked, ”Who was the murderer?”

”From the scene, it was a Spiritual Ability User of the Divine Protection Path, his weapon was a throwing spear, male, robust in build, his awakening level below the Four Awakenings,” the new elector stated. ”Probably killed that Spirit Extinguisher and planned to make weapons from her bones?”

”Using the bones of a Spirit Extinguisher to craft weapons... It would also have the effect of suppressing Spiritual Energy. Even if made into bullets, it could penetrate the barriers of Spiritual Ability Users below the level of Four Awakenings!”

”What a waste of heaven’s gifts! Doesn’t he know that the descendants of a Spirit Extinguisher might also inherit the spiritual resistance? To gain a Spiritual Ability User, having resistance even in the descendants, although not much, is still a legacy, and yet he just killed her. Truly a beast!” an elector cursed.

”After the officials of Molten Lava Giant City discovered this, they were furious and are now in hot pursuit of the murderer. But too much time has passed, and now there is no trace of him anymore,” the new elector sighed.

At that moment, Black Umbrella suddenly looked at Li Yelai, ”Copper Face, I have a trade proposal. Let’s keep this private.”

A trade?

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, but nodded, ”Let’s keep it private.”

Soon, the sounds around them faded. Li Yelai and Black Umbrella were isolated from the others.

”What information do you want to inform me of?” Li Yelai asked.

Black Umbrella smiled, ”I have already discovered the identity of that murderer. I also know that he is probably heading to your No.3 Border City!”

”I want your organization to kill him, and bring me his head. I can give you a recipe for a Third Awakening Magic Potion from the True Martial Path!”

”If you are willing to acquire the Soul Extinguishing Weapon he holds, I am willing to provide another recipe for the Sixth Sense Zero Path!”
