Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 688: Chapter 323 Bite Back

The Jing Family banquet would proceed as scheduled. The officials of Giant City along with various external Families would send members to attend in order to gather more information about the Immortal Palace and vie for greater benefits within.

Li Yelai, having confirmed that Ye Han would not attend the banquet, threw himself into his work and training instead.

He had no intention of joining the festivities at the banquet.

He had always been at odds with the Jing Family, and going there would not allow him to eliminate Ye Han but could potentially cause trouble instead; it was better not to go.

Moreover, as a Champion Agent and currently the acting captain of Champion Team One, Li Yelai could not afford to relax.

Thus, in the days following his contact with Zhao Lin, with the help of Vice-Captain Zu Chao, Li Yelai

diligently got to know the tactical characteristics and specialization directions of the seventeen execution teams and twenty-two Elite Night Patrol teams of Champion Team One.

These were his teammates, and most of them were Li Yelai’s seniors.

After all, Li Yelai had only joined the official ranks about a year ago.

Everyone who had joined before him was his senior.

In fact, there had been few collaborations between Li Yelai and his teammates of team one.

So much so that he was somewhat unfamiliar with these teams’ combat styles.

This was unavoidable, as Li Yelai had been promoted very quickly.

Processor, during the First Awakening and Second Awakening stages, acted as the reserve soldiers of the official ranks.

During this period, newcomers often assisted the Guard Hall, using their Spiritual Ability to help the police solve cases or perform a strong attack.

Alternatively, they could become reserve members of an execution team, accumulating experience and refining their abilities through numerous operations.

Upon advancement to the Third Awakening, right as one becomes a Processor, most Processors would join an execution team or even create a new one.

And they would operate as part of these teams during missions.

During this time, they would also cooperate or exchange ideas with other teams.

Teams would gradually get to know each other and eventually reach an understanding.

Then, after advancing to the Fourth Awakening, one could choose either to continue in an execution team, join an Elite Night Patrol team, or start a new Elite Night Patrol team on their own.

The regular tasks of an Elite Night Patrol involved venturing into the wilderness, some gathering intelligence and tracking illegal Spiritual Ability Users, including those from the Church, while others entered the Forbidden Zone to hunt Extraordinary Creatures.

This was also the main source of magic potions and equipment materials for Giant City.

During this time, the various teams would also collaborate on hunting expeditions.

Normally, a Processor who had progressed from a newcomer would inevitably understand their teammates very well.

But Li Yelai was different; due to the special nature of the curse, shortly after he joined the official ranks, he was involved in several major operations and was dragged along to lure monsters… and thus only handled a few private jobs with the Detective.

He thought about investigating the truth about Team One with Cheese, so after advancing to the Third Awakening, he chose not to join an execution team.

Having become a member of the Elite Night Patrol, his first cooperation was with Little Mad King going to the Forbidden Zone to kill a traitor, which led to a sequence of events. After mixing into the Church, he became the Champion Agent upon his return without having the chance to get familiar.

Thus, this time, Li Yelai seriously learned about each team’s characteristics to facilitate future command and deployment.

Subsequently, Li Yelai also knew that he needed to decide on a direct team for his future actions.

Within Champion Team One, there were six elite Elite Night Patrol teams: Hu Ben, White Robe, Xuan Jia, Beiwei, Wei Wu, and Iron Eagle Sharp, all of whom were Five Senses Strong People.

They were also the most elite warriors of Team One!

Each of these bestowed teams had the capability to cooperate in killing Sixth Sense opponents.

Among them, Iron Eagle Sharp was the personal guard team of Vice-Captain Zu Chao; he himself had been the leader of Iron Eagle Sharp, and after advancing to the Sixth Sense, this team naturally became his personal guard team.

And Beiwei was Captain Yang Chen’s personal guard team; Captain Yang Chen was also formerly a member of Beiwei.

Generally speaking, after becoming a captain or vice-captain, one’s previous elite team would become their direct team.

Of course, this was merely a title; what would Captain Level individuals need protection for? They were allowed to operate freely….

Before this, Li Yelai had not joined any Elite Night Patrol team, let alone an elite one.

Now, having become a Champion Agent, he needed to choose a team as his personal guard.

In fact, Li Yelai’s choices were not many; Xuan Jia, Beiwei, and Wei Wu, three teams carrying many Elite Night Patrols, had already gone to the wilderness to investigate the real events of Team One from years ago.

The real choices available to Li Yelai were actually just Hu Ben and White Robe teams.

Thus, Li Yelai chose the more familiar Hu Ben Team.

This left the members of the Hu Ben Team profoundly moved.

Just two months ago, they had still been training Li Yelai, regarding him as a reliable junior who needed support.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yelai had become their captain and their leader.

However, they had no complaints, as being elite Elite Night Patrols, they fully acknowledged Li Yelai’s combat prowess and character.

Subsequently, an internal meeting within Team One commenced. It established the personnel dispatch for this Immortal Palace strategy.

Vice-Captain Zu Chao continued to stay in Giant City.

Acting Captain Li Yelai would lead three elite Elite Night Patrol teams and seven Elite Night Patrol teams to the Immortal Palace.

While the number of people might seem small, it actually did not include the Giant City Army and logistical personnel.

One should know that the number of people the official of Giant City planned to send into the Immortal Palace was quite substantial.
