Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 571: Chapter 268 Sleep my precious, get up and have fun!_2

”After that... the Taboo Item was taken away by our sub-branch. And when the sub-branch was eradicated by the officials of the Giant City, the Taboo Item also became the possession of the officials,” Li Yelai began.

”You... you know?” Jiang Yong feigned surprise, though his acting was hardly convincing.

”Enough, Jiang Yong, there’s no need to test me,” Li Yelai chuckled lightly, ”You might have guessed, I was indeed a member of the officials and even participated in that siege, so I know a bit of intelligence.”

”This isn’t a test, Lord Di Yun. No one would suspect a Divine Chosen. I’m no exception, and only a Divine Chosen would know of your identity and ability,” Jiang Yong said, ”It’s true, Lord Zhutu sent a Secret Letter asking for your cooperation.”

”Cooperate?” Li Yelai frowned.

”Indeed,” Jiang Yong continued, ”according to reliable information, the Jing Family has already established cooperation with No.3 Border City. And they plan to open that space near Lava Mine City in a month, the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace!”

Li Yelai was taken aback by this intelligence.

This was a secret... even Li Yelai was not aware of this.

Who could it be? Who revealed such intelligence?

The Giant City? Or the Jing Family? In any case, there must be a traitor! And a high-ranking one, at that!

Li Yelai suddenly felt a chill, as he was currently communicating with the Jing Family and the Giant City through Jing Lin.

If there were traitors within the high ranks of the Jing Family and the Giant City, then his identity was no longer safe!

”So it is, but if the so-called Immortal Palace is to be opened near Lava Mine City, then the Amber King must be in charge. And Lava Mine City is a stronghold of the Giant City,” Li Yelai responded, ”We won’t be waging war against multiple cities just to enter the Immortal Palace, will we?”

”Of course not, the time isn’t right,” Jiang Yong replied, ”But the Immortal Palace holds dangers and opportunities alike, as it is a weak spot between the Void Realm and the Physical World. If a Blood Sacrifice is performed there, you might even ascend to become a Prince of Chaos.”

Ascend Demon...

Through a Blood Sacrifice with a massive number of lives, you can completely ascend a Divine Chosen into a Void Realm Creature, becoming a true Immortal being.

If a Divine Chosen dies, there is some chance of returning to the Physical World, mainly depending on whether the respective Divine entity is willing.

But a Prince of Chaos is a pure Void Realm Creature.

With great power, they will certainly return to the Physical World, it’s only a matter of time.

”I’m far from ascending a demon, what are you trying to say?” Li Yelai frowned.

”Lord, Lord Tu Zhu wants you to return to the Giant City to enter the Immortal Palace,” Jiang Yong unfolded a piece of Parchment on the ground, ”This is Lord Tu Zhu’s Secret Letter.”

Li Yelai glanced at it; the Parchment reverberated with the aura of Chaos.

In the next second, it burst into flames, and a tall, ethereal figure emerged from the crimson blaze.

’Pleased to meet you, Lord Di Yun...’

”Zhu Tu?” Li Yelai nodded slightly to the figure, ”Speak plainly.”

’The Divine Treasure Immortal Palace is important. With your former identity, you should be able to get inside. The Main Base and all the sub-branches’ manpower can be at your disposal,’ the figure voiced.

”So, you want me to go back to the Giant City to be an Undercover. You’ve got some nerve, asking a Divine Chosen to go Undercover,” Li Yelai sneered, ”You really do not hold back in forcing me to leave the Main Base.”

The figure shook its head, ’No, you misunderstand; this is not coercion, Lord Di Yun. But you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, the manpower from all the sub-branches will obey you, please consider it carefully...’

With that, the Parchment burned away to ashes.

After sweeping away the dust, Jiang Yong knelt on one knee, silent.

Li Yelai, however, quickly started pondering. It has come to this, it seems.

Lord Tu Zhu knew that he was previously Ye Boshou from Champion Team One, that’s why, he wanted him to go back to the Giant City as an Undercover.

And what exactly is in the Immortal Palace that they would use a Divine Chosen as an Undercover?

It wouldn’t be too bad; after all, once tomorrow passed, the Main Base would probably not hold up any longer.

He hadn’t wanted to return to the Giant City before because he hadn’t caused trouble yet.

Now it didn’t matter. Tomorrow he’d topple the Main Base! After returning, he’d weed out all the traitors!

”Although my identity has been kept secret, I have been out of contact with the officials of the Giant City for more than ten days,” Li Yelai spoke, ”And after that, I plan to go to No.2 Border City, so the time of lost contact with the Border City may be even longer. Returning rashly will surely raise suspicion.”

Jiang Yong was elated internally, realizing that Lord Di Yun had already considered it.

He promptly responded, ”Lord, please do not worry. We will prepare a suitable reason for you. Where were you when you lost contact with the Giant City?”

”Heavenly Kingdom, Great Snow Mountain.”

”That could be construed as being trapped within Great Snow Mountain. We will have Ye Boshou discover and rescue you. We have many Taboo Items that can help fill in the details.”

This was one way to explain the period of lost contact.

Li Yelai nodded slightly, ”Let’s proceed with that plan. After I deal with the matters in No.2 Border City, I’ll return to No.3 Border City.”

”Yes! We will fully support you!” Jiang Yong thought highly of Lord Di Yun’s courage; once the Divine Chosen identity was discovered, death was inevitable. So, he reminded, ”Lord, when you act in No.2 Border City, be sure to conceal your identity...”

After Jiang Yong left.

The Little Mad King emerged from the room and said, ”You agreed?”

”Yes, this way, I can also fish out some traitors,” Li Yelai responded, noticing that the Little Mad King was still in her light gossamer outfit, he handed her the clothes from the sofa, adding, ”Moreover, according to the plan, once the Main Base and the sub-branch in No.2 Border City both encounter troubles, they probably think I am a harbinger of disaster. They’d likely be more than happy to see me go.”
