Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 525: Chapter 247: Conjecture

The grand sacrifice concluded.

During this sacrifice, thousands of ordinary believers received blessings.

However, fewer than a hundred became First Awakening Spiritual Ability Users, while the vast majority transformed into Sufferers.

Their souls were thoroughly corrupted, filled with indescribable rage and murderous intent, and their flesh turned into unnamable meat lumps.

They madly lunged at any living being they saw, eager to carry out their slaughter.

These Sufferers had no rationality whatsoever, even if facing Li Yelai, the Divine Chosen, they would raise their blades.

Of course, there was no need for Li Yelai to act, as the members of the Ember Church directly dealt with them on the spot.

This left many church members pale-faced, but for believers of the Blood God Sect, this was merely another game to please the Divine and satisfy their own lust for killing.

As the controller of this gathering place and the only Divine Chosen,

Li Yelai was indifferent to this, as those who came here to participate in the sacrifice were all senior believers of the Ember Church. They dedicated everything to the church, offering wealth and even family members, betraying Giant City for the church.

Whether they were deformed or killed, it was all the same for Giant City.

If all these hidden believers could be eradicated, the church’s influence would be greatly diminished. Giant City would not be stolen from any intelligence.

As for those believers who gained actual benefits and increased their strength, Li Yelai would incorporate them into his own command.

Hey, what good cannon fodder...

Li Yelai, as the Blood God Chosen One, obtained the name of Lord Di Yun.

He ought to start wars, conflict with other Chaos Sects, and launch attacks on the Forbidden Zone to please the Blood God.

Isn’t that logical?

When the enemies of mankind slaughter each other relentlessly, what an extreme spectacle it would be.

Li Yelai was indeed a law-abiding citizen. But amongst these vermin, he was willing to drop all pretense, all mercy, and ruthlessly slaughter them!

The identity of Blood God Chosen One, eager for war, gave him the greatest cover.

Of course, this was not without risk.

He always had to be careful of those from the Deceit Sect.

While few in number, they were the most dangerous presence within the Ember Church.

Many conspiracies and behind-the-scenes masterminds involved them.

Li Yelai had seen in the archives many major disasters in various Giant Cities that involved them.

If he were to interact with them, he must be extra cautious. As an undercover, the last thing he wanted to encounter were these masters of cunning.

Thinking this, Li Yelai then walked down from the high platform.

At this moment, Li Yelai, or rather the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One, had just received a gift from the Divine.

His Spiritual Power Strength had drastically increased to the limit, only one step away from the Fifth Sense. And the gradually fading crimson aura even made him seem to surpass those Five Senses Spiritual Ability Users.

At that moment, a woman in a red robe, a Five Senses believer, approached and saluted Li Yelai.

”Greetings to you, noble and generous Lord Emperor’s Fall, Lord Fen Xiao has entrusted me to express his sincerest greetings to you. Thank you for providing us with war and slaughter, as well as this grand sacrifice,” she said, and whether intentionally or not, as she bowed, her robe hung down, revealing the pale skin beneath her neck.

Li Yelai remained unmoved, thinking, so you’re testing your officers with this?

That’s underestimating the purity of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One too much!

Besides, what do you think I usually face in terms of tests?

Upon this, the believers of the Blood God Sect praised internally, ’Indeed, our Lord Chosen One’s purity is unmatched!’

And if officials were to witness this scene, they might also remark, ’Truly worthy of being the successor to Champion Team One!’

However, the words of this female believer stirred something in Li Yelai.

Fen Xiao, also a Blood God Chosen One.

But unlike Red Fury and Blood Drink, who were Chosen Ones of the Main Base, he was a Chosen One from a sub-branch near Border City No. 2.

Hierarchically, there’s no difference among the Chosen Ones. But the Chosen Ones from the headquarters had access to more resources and were subtly considered a notch above those from sub-branches.

As the Blood God Sect aimed to combat the Eternal Life Sect, to respond to Red Fury’s rally, the sub-branch where Fen Xiao was located also sent over three hundred elites day and night, suffering great losses, but also received a share of the spoils afterward.

Now, with the ritual concluded, as Fen Xiao’s proxy, his servant specifically came to bid farewell to Li Yelai.

”If there is a chance, please invite him to the Main Base for a gathering. As messengers of Lord Blood God, we should get closer,” Li Yelai responded calmly.

”Of course, great Lord Emperor’s Fall,” continued the female believer. ”But perhaps, you will make a trip to Border City No. 2.”

”Oh?” Li Yelai turned to his servant.

One of the servants immediately replied, ”My lord, it seems Lord Red Fury and Lord Blood Drink had agreed with Lord Fen Xiao on some operation targeting Border City No. 2. Now, both lords...”

Li Yelai understood. That bastard Fen Xiao was planning something in Border City No. 2, but the battle power of a sub-branch was clearly unable to contend with Giant City.

Li Yelai was not aware of other human Giant Cities, but at least he knew about his own Border City and Lava Mine City.

Each Giant City had four sub-branches and one headquarters, and each sub-branch had five or six teams. Roughly calculating, the Sixth Sense Battle Power of a Giant City exceeded thirty, with even Overlord Level captains. Not to mention the supreme humans or Kings of Giant City.
