Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 199: Chapter 94 Disaster Fog 71

With the long-missing sensation of weightlessness disappearing, the white light before his eyes gradually dissipated.

Li Yelai once again entered the interior of the ark.

Inside the ark, luxury and stability prevailed as usual.

Had it not been for the eerie starry sky seen outside the ark in the Void Realm, one might think it was a luxury cruise ship.

By the time Li Yelai entered, the hall was already filled with Ark Chosen Ones seated.

He walked to the edge of the hall, quietly took his seat, and observed each of the Ark Chosen Ones.

According to the analysis from Yin Fire, there must also be Ark Chosen Ones among the Jing Family, and the likelihood was high for the inexplicably enthusiastic Jing Lin.

If possible, Li Yelai wanted to find Jing Lin among them. As long as he could confirm that he was one of the Ark Chosen Ones, it would facilitate subsequent actions.

Unfortunately, among the Ark Chosen Ones, there were several people with a stature similar to Jing Lin’s. From this aspect alone, it would be difficult to distinguish, for Li Yelai had met Jing Lin only once.

While Li Yelai was observing, he noticed this meeting differed from the last.

If one were to divide the ark’s hall into inner and outer rings, then the edge area where Li Yelai sat would be about the seventh ring.

Because, ”Copper Face” was merely a spokesperson for Golden Armor, and his own level wasn’t high, he could only stay in the outer ring.

While Black Umbrella, Wolf Map, Ming Xing, and others were in the Fourth Ring.

Jin Shan, from the Forbidden Zone, was in the Second Ring.

Originally, the Second Ring area had only Golden Armor and a few others seated, but now there was one more person.

This individual was exceptionally tall and cloaked in a black cape, mysterious with intricate patterns on it, unclear whether male or female.

Just one glance at this figure was enough to make one feel uncomfortable.

”He too comes from some Forbidden Zone?” Li Yelai retracted his gaze, pondering in his mind.

As all the electors arrived, the meeting officially started.

However, right at the beginning, someone chuckled, ”Hey, Copper Face, you’ve actually shown your face this time.”

It was none other than Wolf Map, one of the participants in the Fantasy Band incident, currently in No.2 Border City!

He sat in his seat, laughing, ”I thought I wouldn’t see you again. Turns out, you took this opportunity to become a Third Awakening, congrats.”

A thought crossed Li Yelai’s mind, suppressing his inner hatred, he inquired, ”What does the gentleman mean?”

Wolf Map had hardly interacted with him and it was puzzling why he suddenly started talking.

”How so? Wolf Map, have you seen Copper Face in the Physical World?” another Ark Chosen One laughed.

”That’s coincidental, but remember, aren’t Golden Armor and Copper Face both in No.3 Border City? Wolf Map, aren’t you in No.2 Border City? That’s hundreds of kilometers away.” Another Ark Chosen One also spoke, ”How did you come across this?”

”He caused quite a stir in No.3 Border City, though official records erased some effects, a bit of it has still spread. I was lucky enough to see it,” Wolf Map looking at Li Yelai, smiled lightly, ”I thought you’d have been arrested by officials, looks like you escaped.”

Saying this, he raised his hand and took out a photograph.

In the photo, Li Yelai, wearing Copper Face, wielding a long spear, and riding a Dragon Colt, was pursuing a Flying Gunman on the subway tracks.

”Wow, chasing down a Spiritual Ability User in full public view? That’s quite domineering!” an Ark Chosen One laughed, ”Copper Face is really something else.”

But more Ark Chosen Ones showed a slight change in expression; although they were surprised by Li Yelai’s actions, they were more interested in the person being chased by Li Yelai.

The Flying Gunman wielded a Throwing Spear and could control the spear’s flight, likely a Spiritual Ability User of Divine Protection Path, and he was burly...

Some Ark Chosen Ones shifted their gaze toward Li Yelai, astutely noting the characteristics of the Flying Gunman. He closely matched the description of the killer who had murdered the Spirit Extinguisher.

Some ideas formed in their minds.

Someone spoke directly, ”Copper Face, if you plan to sell the Absolute Spirit Weapon, I’m willing to trade.”

”I remember, just as the last meeting was about to end, Black Umbrella and Copper Face had a secret trade, right?”

”Black Umbrella has also stayed in No.3 Border City before, maybe it was him who informed Copper Face.”

”Black Umbrella, you sneak.”

The Ark Chosen Ones joked around.

This made Black Umbrella sitting in the Fourth Ring snort silently inside.

The existence of the Flying Gunman was a bargaining chip in the trade between Black Umbrella and Li Yelai.

Now, it had been publicly exposed by Wolf Map.

This made Black Umbrella somewhat furious.

He glanced at Wolf Map, thinking this fellow indeed had some substance. Managing to collect information about No.3 Border City from such a distance was indeed sinister and dedicated.

Then, Black Umbrella spoke faintly, ”Indeed, this was the trade between me and Copper Face, but that’s none of your concern.”

He needed to divert everyone’s attention away from Copper Face.

After all, in the minds of the people, the Spirit Extinguisher was already dead. If it was discovered he was still alive, his backdoor plot would be completely ruined.

Li Yelai heard this and somewhat understood, it turned out to be referring to the moment captured chasing the Flying Gunman.

This was information deliberately released by the officials.

Actually, it was also meant to make the Ark Chosen Ones believe more in ’Copper Face’s’ identity.

Unexpectedly, Wolf Map had the capacity to obtain this intelligence, even pointing it out publicly...

Indeed sinister.

”Thanks also to Lord Black Umbrella’s Summoning Item, otherwise I wouldn’t have escaped the official encirclement,” Li Yelai responded in line with ’Copper Face’s’ character persona.

”No trouble,” Black Umbrella nodded, ”Did you bring the goods?”

”Yes, Lord Black Umbrella, do you need privacy?” Li Yelai inquired.

”No need, since they already know, let them watch,” Black Umbrella smiled lightly.

Li Yelai then nodded, ”I brought both, but I’d like to first know what formula Lord Black Umbrella will provide.”
