Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 610: Chapter 286: Investigation_2

“Who knows…” Feixue said indifferently.

At the same time, several members she had brought along had already scattered in the vicinity, attempting to track down Liu Sheng’s traces.

Among them, one Ye Boshou noticed a drop of blood on a blade of grass and casually snapped it off.

…

Meanwhile, several kilometers away,

A figure leaped out from a garbage truck and blended into an old residential building with eerie movements.

He exhaled a breath of foul air but wore a smile on his face.

“How does it feel to be killed by your own victims, Qin Zhi?” he said with a grin.

The little girl next to him, pinching her nose, muttered, “Uncle, didn’t you say those copper arrows are precious? Why did you use them up just like that?”

In the young girl’s understanding, the uncle would pray to those few copper arrows every day.

They must be something important and valuable, yet they were used without hesitation.

This was something she couldn’t comprehend.

“The most precious things are worthless if they aren’t used. Have you forgotten? That five yuan was all you had left, yet you were willing to give it all to me for your revenge. It’s the same principle.”

“And that Qin Zhi, he is a suitable target. Perhaps it wouldn’t have such terrifying power if used on someone else… We Wilderness Rangers have been silent for too long. It’s time to let those criminals who have escaped punishment and oppressors know of our return. May those who died in vain rest in peace,” the man responded.

The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding.

The man sighed and then went into the bathroom to wash off the dirt on his body.

After changing into clean clothes, he carefully took out a wood box from under the bed.

Inside the box, there were still two bronze arrows…

This was a blessing from the Divine, from the Master of Green Flames who walked upon the Sea of Black Mud!

It was his faith and followers… that invincible, great existence.

“Qin Zhi, such a wanted criminal, to think he could infiltrate Giant City… and not be found by the officials. Hehe… seems like there’s still someone in the city worth shooting with an arrow,” the man murmured to himself.

…

At the same time, inside the manor,

Li Yelai stared at Cheng Mei in shock: “You say… you found Liu Sheng?”

“Yes, my lord!” Cheng Mei replied softly: “Our people found her. Her injuries are severe; both her left hand and foot are gone. She’s in the distant jungle… her consciousness is already blurring.”

Li Yelai frowned: “Her identity could be exposed, yet she still comes to us, does she want to drag us down with her?”

“Rest assured, my lord,” Cheng Mei said: “No one will trace it back to us, and she is an old friend of our family’s lord…”

“With such a big incident occurring here, won’t the official personnel be coming soon?” Li Yelai asked.

“Don’t worry, we’ll handle it,” Cheng Mei replied.

Handle it… goddammit, are there people inside the official ranks covering for her? Damn it!

Li Yelai wanted to use this opportunity to let the officials discover the Church.

Though it might be somewhat dangerous for Li Yelai himself, it would effectively thwart the Church’s plot.

Ambush? If it’s discovered early, just wait to be crushed by the Border Iron Guard!

“Where is Liu Sheng?” Li Yelai asked.

“We have already taken her to the underground safe house and are currently performing emergency treatment.”

“Take me to see her,” Li Yelai stood up.

Soon, Li Yelai saw Liu Sheng in the basement.

Indeed, as a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User, she still remained conscious after the rescue.

At this moment, she lay on the hospital bed, her left arm reduced to a stump, and her left leg only a thigh stub remained.

Thick bandages wrapped around the wounds, but blood still seeped through them.

As a Spiritual Ability User of the Netherworld Path, such injuries would likely cripple her. She wouldn’t be able to return to her peak.

“Lord Di Yun, please avenge me. The attackers are Wilderness Rangers, followers of the Fifth God…” Liu Sheng, seeing Li Yelai, seemed agitated, her voice rising: “Kill him, please kill him for me, I will give everything to the Church! You must kill him!”

Her eyes were full of hatred, a woman once charming and enchanting now as vicious as a maimed ghost!

“I will, Liu Sheng. The Blood God Faction has always been enemies with the Fifth God,” Li Yelai responded: “You focus on recovering for now.”

At the same time, Li Yelai reached into his pocket and deflected the needle on the Emotion Pocket Watch. The needle pointed to the mark of anger.

“Kill him! Must kill him! This beast, daring to kill Qin Zhi, he must be killed!” Liu Sheng’s emotions grew increasingly agitated, her eyes bloodshot.

The bandaged wounds split open, the IV needle even snapped, and even her Spiritual Energy began to fluctuate.

This alarmed Cheng Mei and the other believers—the Processor might be nearby, and you dare release Spiritual Energy Fluctuations?

The safe house could shield perception and Spiritual Energy Fluctuations, but not the manic outburst of a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User.

If the fluctuations leaked, sensed by the Processor, it would be over!

You seek death but don’t drag us down with you!

“Inject the sedative! Quick!” Cheng Mei barked.

The Church’s medical staff scrambled to restrain Liu Sheng. But even disabled, she was a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User.

With her high physical strength, it took three or four believers to barely hold her down.

Trying to inject her with the sedative, they found the needle couldn’t penetrate her Spiritual Barrier.

It wasn’t until Cheng Mei stepped forward and struck Liu Sheng on the neck with the edge of her hand, knocking her unconscious, that she finally quieted down.

“Her emotions are too unstable, let her sleep for now,” Li Yelai spoke up.
