Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 593: Chapter 277 Gathering_2

Qin Zhi, this damn beast, has a Class B Forbidden Item, the Song of Extinction!

Once such a Taboo Item is activated, and if it isn’t quickly suppressed, it will warp all the people within its range.

And through the warping and the Spiritual Energy produced at that time, it will tear a rift leading to the Void Realm.

A powerful Void Realm Creature will descend into the Physical World from the rift. That is what is known as the final chapter of extinction.

This guy’s plan must necessarily include this element.

But it’s unclear at which step it will occur, and how he’ll manage to avoid suppression.

Meanwhile, what made Li Yelai uneasy was, how could Fen Xiao be so sure that Giant City’s aid wouldn’t sabotage his plan?

How so? If No.2 Border City calls for help, those rushing to support will inevitably be powerhouses, possibly even Champion Yang Chen.

Do they also have the ability to Block these powerhouses?

Li Yelai pondered rapidly in his heart, but Fen Xiao didn’t mention the plan again, instead frequently toasting and drinking heartily with everyone.

After the meal ended.

Fen Xiao bid farewell to Li Yelai, saying he had some matters to deal with, that he could make himself at home in the estate, and so on, before immediately taking leave.

Then it was Qin Zhi who stepped forward, cupping his hands towards Li Yelai and saying, “Lord Di Yun, I have long admired you. I hope that this time, we can cooperate pleasantly.”

“Well, let’s hope,” responded Li Yelai indifferently, “As for you, Qin Zhi, as a wanted criminal of Giant City, you still dare to move about within it. You had better be careful. If it’s because of you that the plan fails, I’m afraid you’ll only be able to repent beneath the Blood-colored Throne.”

His words were very impolite.

The insinuation being, if you dare disrupt the plan, I’ll kill you and offer your head to the Blood God!

But Demon General Bai Ya, craftsman Gongsun, and others felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

Even if they were allies, an Emperor’s Fall Chosen One held infinitely more nobility than a mere performer, what about it?

What’s wrong? Still not convinced?

“Thank you for your concern, Lord Di Yun,” Qin Zhi still wore a smile, “But I’m able to enter Giant City because I have sufficient capital.”

And Liu Sheng looked at Li Yelai with a smile and said, “Lord Di Yun, there’s no need to view us with hostility. Although we aren’t Believers, we have cooperated with your Sect many times. Moreover, if you wish to communicate with other Sects, I can also be of help to you~~”

Her eyebrows and eyes were like silk, her bright red lips slightly parted, every word and action exuded charm.

Li Yelai simply raised his eyebrows slightly, “Oh? You’ve had contact with other Sects?”

“Certainly, Lord Di Yun. Mixing in the wilderness, it’s inevitable to come into contact with various Sects,” replied Qin Zhi, “If you need us, just give the word.”

Other Sects… could they be the Ark Chosen Ones?

Li Yelai pondered inwardly but outwardly responded, “I’ve taken note, let’s hope we can cooperate pleasantly.”

Afterwards, Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng bid farewell and took their leave with their people.

And once they were seated in the business car, the smiles on their faces gradually faded away.

“This Emperor’s Fall…” Qin Zhi spoke eerily, “The moment he saw us, he seemed to flash a hint of hostility.”

“It’s normal, the Divine Chosen of the Blood God always hold hostility towards us who are heretics,” Liu Sheng replied, “But there’s something familiar about Emperor’s Fall. Do you think he could be one from the ark?”

Qin Zhi thought for a moment and then shook his head, “It’s hard to discern the people from the ark due to their disguises. But that Maid of his, she caught my attention.”

“Maid?” Liu Sheng looked at Qin Zhi and after a moment of thought responded, “Indeed, she is a beautiful woman, I even envy how long her legs are, standing there as if challenging me. Hmph, nice figure, I really want to cut her open and see…

Why? Have you taken a fancy to that Maid? She is Emperor’s Fall’s Personal Maid, I heard Emperor’s Fall is very fond of her. When he makes moves, she’s always with him. I estimate it won’t be easy for you to make a move.”

“What are you talking about?” Qin Zhi laughed lightly, caressing Liu Sheng’s slender waist, “It’s precisely because that Maid is highly favored by Emperor’s Fall that I find it strange… Why would such a beloved Maid be a virgin?”

“Are you sure?” Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

“Not certain. She’s made up, hard to tell clearly. I just suddenly had this suspicion,” Qin Zhi replied, “It might be a misjudgment, or maybe Emperor’s Fall is just too pure, truly not being interested in women? That would truly be a waste.”

“I almost forgot, you’ve been with so many women, your eyesight must be really good,” Liu Sheng snorted coldly, then climbed onto Qin Zhi, “Now, forget them all…”

“Of course, my eyes only have you,” Qin Zhi chuckled lowly, stripping off the woman’s clothes.

Soon, the vehicle rocked, and certain sighs emanated.

…

On the other side, within the manor.

Emperor’s Fall Chosen One and his personal maid Hong Zhuang had arrived in a luxurious room. This room was prepared for them by the local believers.

After an inspection, they found no signs of eavesdropping or spying.

It seemed Fen Xiao was well aware of the fate that had befallen the last person who had spied on Li Yelai.

Li Yelai was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“It was Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng! The instigators behind the Fantasy Band incident!” Li Yelai whispered.

“Mm, I recognized them. I was really worried that you would lash out… Fortunately, you held back,” Little Mad King replied as he straightened the bedcovers, “But since you’re both Ark Chosen Ones, isn’t there a risk of being exposed?”

“Normally, when I enter the ark, my suit is fitted with imitation muscles. I also purposely change my habits, and with the ark’s built-in blurring features, I shouldn’t be easy to detect,” Li Yelai pondered, “Besides, I’ve never traded with them.”

“Then we can put that worry aside for now. At least they won’t guess that you’re an Ark Chosen One,” the Little Mad King replied, “But Fen Xiao still hasn’t revealed the specific plan.”

“Yes, and what truly unsettles me is… our No.3 Border City hasn’t received this intelligence!” Li Yelai said, “Even if they wanted to keep it secret and not expose it publicly, the Old Mad King should have been informed, right?”

Indeed, theoretically, a matter as significant as ascension to the Supreme should at least be communicated to the King.

It’s not like they don’t even trust the Old Mad King, right?

What on earth is the Ma Family of the Border City up to? Why keep even this under wraps?

“There are too many suspicions…” the Little Mad King replied, “Moreover, Fen Xiao seems unconcerned about the aid from other Giant Cities. Could it be that the Ma Family intends to keep it secret until the moment ascension begins?”

It was the only explanation!

The Ma Family had concealed everything, not just from the Forbidden Zone but also from the Giant Cities.

The other Giant Cities were completely oblivious to the Supreme’s ascension and could not provide effective support.

But… why?

Are they worried about undercover agents? Afraid that the Giant Cities’ movements will attract the Forbidden Zone’s attention?

Wasn’t that being too cautious?

“What was the situation when the last Overlord ascended to Supreme, and did the Giant Cities send aid?” Li Yelai inquired.

“That was over fifty years ago, the Xu Qing Supreme of No.1 Border City. The old man single-handedly blocked the three major restricted areas. There’s no reference,” the Little Mad King responded.

“Let’s not worry about it for now, we need to send this intelligence back to headquarters,” Li Yelai said, and with a spatial fluctuation, he took out his suit and Copper Face.

The Little Mad King then composed the intelligence report, marked it with the Giant City’s secret code, and thoroughly scrambled it.

Afterwards, Li Yelai activated the ark ticket and entered the interior of the ark.

…

At the same time, two figures, one large and one small, crawled out from under a truck and successfully entered the interior of the Giant City.

“Plan successful!” The man chuckled.

The little girl, with a look of distress, pointed to her abraded wrapping, which had long since lost its contents of food.

The man’s laughter died away as he looked at the little girl in shock.

They looked at each other in silence.

…

Meanwhile, a tourist group from No.3 Border City had arrived in No.2 Border City.

One by one, agile figures disembarked from the bus.

They nibbled on snacks in their hands while inwardly complaining about the Equipment Department’s vehicle.

All they cared about was loading up weapons, not even installing shock absorbers! They vowed to leave a bad review when they returned!

And one little teddy bear doll also stepped off the bus, unlike her complaining companions, she was hopping and jumping around seemingly very happy.
