Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 482: Chapter 227 Trade_2

Among them, a male Ark Chosen One dressed in white finery, wearing a Scholar’s hat.

Ark Chosen Ones, codename, Scholar. Active outside the Giant City Circle.

His power level seemed to be that of the Fifth Sense.

On the other side was a female Ark Chosen One, Red Fury, who had traded with Li Yelai before.

They were obviously trading as well, and just happened to be bumped into by Li Yelai.

”Yo, Mr. Copper Face,” Scholar’s face was a blur, but his laugh came through, ”Long time no see.”

”Copper Face, it’s rare for you to change up your look,” Red Fury said calmly.

”Lord Scholar, Lady Red Fury,” Li Yelai nodded in greeting.

”What a coincidence,” Scholar said, ”We bump into each other like this, let’s catch up later.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly, and after the two entered a private status, their figures and voices blurred and disappeared.

It was then that Li Yelai spoke, ”Captain, please help me open a private space and invite Lord Camellia.”

’Affirmative.’

Soon after, Li Yelai waited about five minutes in his seat until a flash of white light appeared, from which Jing Lin emerged.

His first notice was the two vague figures in the distance, causing him a start as he asked, ”Are there other electors here? Who are they?”

”Red Fury and Scholar,” Li Yelai replied, ”Lord Camellia, I wish to trade information with you. I seek the Fifth Sense Magic Potion Recipe of the Wanxiang Path.”

”Starting to prepare Magic Potions?” Camellia nodded, ”I can provide that for you now. What information do you have to trade?”

A sheet of paper flickered into existence in the space held by Li Yelai’s hand, ”I’ve uncovered a gathering place for the Ember Church, here is the precise location. As for the risks and rewards, you’ll need to judge for yourself.”

”Who doesn’t know the resources of the Ember Church are plentiful, indeed, this is good information,” Camellia nodded; seconds later, a scroll of leather paper emerged beside him, ”This is the Magic Potion Recipe for the Fifth Sense Wanxiang Path, Mimicry Dragon Breath, and Mimicry Dragon Soul.”

Without a word, the two exchanged the items – or rather, the information hidden within them.

”How’s your condition? Are you still in danger?” Camellia continued to inquire.

”I’m alright, no danger currently,” Li Yelai responded.

Indeed, after becoming a Divine Chosen, he wouldn’t have much to fear from the Church. As long as the Giant City didn’t treat him as a human traitor, he should be pretty safe.

”Alright, let me know when you need supplies,” Camellia said.

”Mhm, I will, otherwise it would be too much of a bargain for you,” Li Yelai responded.

Jing Lin chuckled, then quickly left the ark.

He needed to swiftly pass on Li Yelai’s information to the authorities.

As Jing Lin departed, the secret space where Li Yelai was dissolved.

Once again, Li Yelai saw Scholar, who had finished his transaction with Red Fury but didn’t leave the hall right away; instead, he waited for Li Yelai to complete his dealings.

”What’s up? Lord Scholar, you have business with me?” Li Yelai asked curiously.

”It’s not exactly business, but I remembered you’re active near No.3 Border City, so I wanted to inquire,” Scholar explained.

Li Yelai’s heart stirred, an action at No.3 Border City?

What, you also want to get involved in a Fantasy Band incident?

Li Yelai felt somewhat provoked.

”No.3 Border City, what’s that about?” Li Yelai asked, suppressing the hostility in his heart.

”Don’t misunderstand, the action I’m talking about isn’t within the Giant City,” Scholar replied, ”You operate near No.3 Border City, you may know, some time ago, someone from our city, Ye Boshou, executed that human traitor from the Heavenly Kingdom and killed a large number of Angels. He’s wanted by the two major families of the Forbidden Zone.”

”Oh, that,” Li Yelai thought, how could I not know? I’m the damn one being wanted!

”Why, you want to take down that wanted person? Do you have information on him?” Li Yelai asked, thinking you’re just a Fifth Sense, you might not necessarily be able to take me down.

”Although the reward is tempting, the risks and consequences are too great. Not to mention, it would completely offend not just the Giant City but also the Champion,” Scholar commented, ”Even if one received the reward, one would become a human traitor, hunted by the Giant City. Why bother?”

”So what do you want with me?” Li Yelai was puzzled.

”Here’s the thing,” Scholar continued, ”My organization received the news and sent a team near the Forbidden Zone to investigate. We wanted to determine whether the Champion Candidate was dead or alive. If we could gather some information to sell, that too would be good.

However, on the way to the investigation, we found an attacked convoy. All were killed, seven Spiritual Ability User guards beheaded, and after investigating, it turned out to be the work of the Ember Church.”

Li Yelai’s mind stirred; this tallied with what he knew. Red Fury and their team had ambushed a merchant convoy a few days ago.

And the scholar had stumbled upon that very convoy.

”Indeed, it’s a tactic of one of the sects within the Ember Church. So, what happened next?” asked Li Yelai.

”Next, we began to trace back to the Ember Church, planning to ascertain their whereabouts. As you know, this kind of intelligence is very valuable... Selling it to the Giant City, we could get a reward. Selling it inside the ark to some of the big shots, we could also get a cut of the soup. So, we were keen to pinpoint the location of that sub-branch or gathering place. But instead of finding a sub-branch, we discovered a special small town.”

The scholar went on, ”It’s a small town in the mountains, surrounded by toxic gases, lethal enough to kill Spiritual Ability Users and Extraordinary Creatures. Yet, inside the town, there seems to be another world.”

”We speculated that it might be a special terrain formed after a Disaster Fog had been conquered. It could also be some kind of Taboo Item. So, we planned to raid the town. Since you are active in No.3 Border City, and you happened to come across us, we came to you to ask.”

Li Yelai understood that they had encountered a strange area, coveting something good inside, but the scholar couldn’t handle it alone and planned to gather more people.

While Li Yelai was in No.3 Border City, although it was far away, he was considered relatively close compared to other electors.

The scholar was also very cautious not to reveal any location. It was probably going to wait until meeting offline to inform him of the place.

”I’ll have to think about it,” Li Yelai responded. ”That town must be dangerous. I’m just a Four Awakenings weakling, joining the excitement could easily lead to death.”

”No problem, I was just mentioning it. We could cooperate later on,” the scholar nodded. He naturally didn’t expect to recruit help in one go.

Afterward, the scholar left the ark.

Li Yelai didn’t rush to leave, but walked over to a mural.

Looking at the third mural, he couldn’t tell whether it was because he had become a Blood God Chosen One, but he vaguely felt a pressure emanating from the painting.

The green flames depicted seemed even more vigorous and lifelike.

It seemed the Chaos Gods were having quite the party.

Li Yelai internally remarked.

Then, he left the ark.

After returning to the Physical World, Li Yelai opened his eyes and said to someone nearby, ”I’m back.”

”Mhm, no one has approached,” the voice of the Little Mad King came from a corner.

Thereupon, Li Yelai unfolded the Leather Paper, which had the Wanxiang Path Magic Potion Recipe written on it.

Mimicry Dragon Breath and Mimicry Dragon Soul, along with the Church’s Dragon Transformation.

Li Yelai now had three Fifth Sense Magic Potions in his grasp.

Of course, that wasn’t the point; he was still some distance from the Fifth Sense.

Li Yelai found a letter in the interlayer of the Leather Paper and after rearranging it with the secret cipher of Ye Boshou, he gained the true intelligence feedback.

His father, Li Qiong’s remains, had been handed over to Li Yunyan.

The Old Mad King had eaten the Spirit Fruit and his lifespan had recovered somewhat.

There was no mention of Cheese and their actions in the intelligence, indicating that the official headquarters was also unaware of what was happening at the front line. There was a gap in the information.

It seemed impossible to contact Cheese and the others through headquarters.

The distance from the Border City was too great; even for a Spiritual Ability User traveling at full speed, it would take several days.

”If I get chopped by my own people, that would be too wrong,” Li Yelai pondered.

”I can only pray not to run into them.”

Unfortunately, early the next day, Li Yelai received news that the team was assembling, ready for battle.

The believers were fervently preparing for war and slaughter, in order to please the Divine.

Li Yelai’s heart jumped at that moment, and he grabbed a believer and asked, ”Did we find Champion Team One?”

”Unfortunately, Lord Emperor’s Fall,” the believers said with a regretful face, ”We are attacking the Eternal Life Faction.”

Li Yelai’s heart immediately relaxed, and he said indifferently, ”It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same, I will lead the charge!”

Of course, it wasn’t the same...

In the face of Champion Team One, he was submissive.

But against the Ember Church, he struck with heavy blows!
