Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 490: Chapter 231: You’re Actually Still Alive!_2

It did fit the behavior of the Blood God believers, after all, they would erupt into infighting within their own sect; naturally, they wouldn’t consider retrieving the bodies of their comrades.

And when those believers saw Li Yelai, they all revealed a look of reverence.

A good number of them had witnessed Li Yelai harnessing thunder to chase down the Plague Knights Quorum.

At this moment, no one dared to offend Li Yelai, this newly minted Divine Chosen.

However, five believers did offer Li Yelai mounts.

They were indeed thoughtful, to resist their desire for slaughter under bloodlust, and keep some mounts to present to Li Yelai.

There would have been more, but many with this idea had perished.

Thus, Li Yelai, with a grand wave of his hand, took all five into his service, making them his servants.

After all, there was no loss to him, Li Yelai was still freeloading.

What they brought, though, were three meticulously chosen mounts.

A Plague Warhorse, the mount of Plague Knights. It was an extraordinary creature’s body transformed through some evil ceremony, capable of withstanding the plague blessings on the Plague Knight, allowing the spread of more plagues. Its drawback was that it too was infected with the plague. But with the physical strength of a Spiritual Ability User and Spiritual Barrier, they should be immune to infection.

But this Plague Warhorse was unacceptable, though Li Yelai could operate a barrier to ward off the plague, how could he interact with others?

He had the believers burn it and ordered his servants to drag out the one who presented this mount and give them a thorough beating.

The second was a large deer with white cloud-like fur.

An extraordinary creature from the Heavenly Kingdom, a Four Awakenings strong Cloud Sea Deer.

Its trait was mastering Aerial Stepping, while it couldn’t hover with the same freedom as human Spiritual Ability Users, it did grant it immense mobility.

It could run across clouds, hence its name Cloud Sea Deer.

After breeding by the Eternal Life Sect, this Cloud Sea Deer’s speed was significantly improved, with a full-speed run exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, faster than most with the Fifth Sense.

It was fast, but beyond that, it had no other features, its ability was to release a localized acid rain capable of rapidly corroding metal, it could also consume a fair amount of Spiritual Barrier, or use its antlers to ram enemies at full speed.

It wasn’t entirely useless but might as well be.

Li Yelai needed a mount both incredibly fast and with ironclad defenses. Without the Shadow Army’s enhancement, the Cloud Sea Deer’s physique could easily lead to its own demise.

It would have to suffice, as for the Cute Star Sky Collision, alas, the old horse... the bygone pale moonlight.

”Let’s keep it for now,” Li Yelai responded, ”Bring me some captives from the Eternal Life Sect, have them continue breeding it for me.”

”Yes,” the Divine Chosen Servants all nodded in agreement.

The third mount was a black sheep with scales and tusks, hailing from Black Origin City, the Sky Hunting Sheep.

Also at the Four Awakenings strength, it moved slightly slower than the Cloud Sea Deer but possessed decent defensive power. Capable of Aerial Stepping but not very agile, it was passable.

None were particularly appealing choices, and who knew when Chu He could hunt down an Ancient Dragon for him.

”Have Gongsun Craftsman craft it some horse armor, aren’t these scales going to chafe me?” Li Yelai issued the command.

The Divine Chosen Servants nodded again and left with the two mounts.

Following that, Li Yelai entered the temporary encampment established by the believers.

The factory was filled with terrible odors and viruses; it was not a place for immediate occupancy.

Once Li Yelai entered a secluded room, he began to hum a tune while inspecting his weapon.

However, this time, after humming for two minutes, Little Mad King did not appear.

Li Yelai kept a calm exterior, but inwardly, his heart skipped a beat.

Had something happened to Little Mad King? No, with her strength and stealth skills, as long as she didn’t attempt to assassinate a Divine Chosen, she should be undetectable on the battlefield.

Then why...

’So, there is still surveillance around me?’ Li Yelai thought with a sinking heart.

Only under such circumstances would Little Mad King avoid showing up.

Surveillance? From whom?

Red Fury and Xue Yin?

That shouldn’t be, had he acted to arouse their suspicion?

Or was it Champion Team One?

Comrades were watching over him, this new Divine Chosen?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yelai removed his helmet and face, revealing his own visage.

While wiping his cheeks with a towel, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

If they were comrades, the comrades of Team One should recognize him.

When suppressing Black Prison, Li Yelai had met almost all the members of Ye Boshou’s team.

Even if they didn’t trust him, thinking he had turned traitor, they would opt to withdraw quickly and convey this intelligence back.

Though it would cause initial misunderstandings, once they made contact with headquarters, Li Yelai’s identity would be confirmed.

So, Li Yelai took the risk of revealing his true face.

However, there was still no reaction in the room. The Little Mad King had not appeared, which meant the surveillance was still on.

The watcher showed no reaction to his appearance.

Not an ally...

Li Yelai thought rapidly.

Not an ally, so be it!

He immediately put on his helmet and covered his face with the faceplate again.

The next instant, Spiritual Power Pressure burst forth, and Li Yelai, holding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, scanned his surroundings with his eyes.

”Who dares spy on a Divine Chosen!” Li Yelai’s voice was cuttingly cold.

Now, he could only try to draw the other party out.

Yet the room remained quiet, with neither enemy nor Little Mad King showing themselves.

This meant the surveillance was still on!

Very well, you really think I have no way to deal with you?

Li Yelai’s left hand brushed across the faceplate, and on a part of his face hidden from the view of others, a face mask with white background and black patterns emerged.

Lord Wu’an, Bai Qi!

The next second, in the nearby battlefield littered with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the blood began to surge and rapidly converge in Li Yelai’s direction.

This caught the attention of many believers, who changed their expressions and moved closer to the camp.

However, they were stopped by Red Fury, who frowned at the camp, looking somewhat surprised, ”Emperor’s Fall is Wanxiang Path, right?”

”Definitely Wanxiang, but this feeling... Reset?” Xue Yin also frowned, ”By the way, what is he trying to do?”

On the other side, the blood water surged, forming a gigantic Blood-Colored Star behind Li Yelai.

Then, Blood Prison Demon Suppression!

A terrifying pressure was released instantly, turning the area within a hundred meters around Li Yelai into a crushing hell, where believers, vehicles, and buildings alike were smashed to pieces.

In that instant, the ground itself seemed to sink!

Not coming out, are you? Then die!

Indeed, Li Yelai couldn’t find any trace of the watcher, so he simply unleashed a wide-ranging attack!

Under that horrendous pressure, the entire temporary camp was destroyed.

Li Yelai walked out from the rubble, holding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, his eyes coldly sweeping the surroundings. Wherever his gaze landed, the Blood God believers were terror-stricken.

Red Fury and Xue Yin quickly approached, with Red Fury asking, ”Emperor’s Fall, what happened?”

”I felt surveillance, but I couldn’t find him, so I had no choice but to attack everything nearby,” Li Yelai stated truthfully.

”Surveillance?” Xue Yin’s expression changed slightly, and her gaze turned to the ruins, ”I have a guess about who it might be.”

Red Fury, meanwhile, moved aside a piece of iron sheet to reveal a bloodstain smaller than a thumbnail.

It was a crushed Blood Fly!

”Blood Fly?” Red Fury sneered coldly at the sight, ”I wondered where they got the courage to set up a base within our territory; so it’s him!”

”Divine Chosen Mo Ya!”

Meanwhile, in the town.

Mo Ya sighed lightly, ”To be discovered, this Divine Chosen’s perception is too sharp, isn’t it?”

”You actually made a mistake?” Black Umbrella chuckled lightly, ”That’s rare indeed.”

”It’s not without gains; at least we saw the appearance of that Divine Chosen and learned about his path,” Mo Ya replied, as numerous Blood Flies danced in the air, forming a pattern.

Li Yelai’s appearance emerged within the pattern.

The next second, Mo Ya heard Black Umbrella’s voice filled with anger, ”Is he the Wanxiang Path?”

”Certainly, do you know him?” Mo Ya responded.

But when he turned back, he saw Black Umbrella’s face distorted with rage.

Such an expression was rare; Black Umbrella was always so poised, never this out of sorts.

Black Umbrella, looking at the pattern, recalled the scene where a certain youth teased and called him ’Buttercup’.

That was the most humiliating moment of his life!

Black Umbrella couldn’t help but clench his teeth and say, ”I’ll be damned, I know him too well!”

”Son of a bitch, you’re still alive!”

”Night General!”
