Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 854: Chapter 399: Champion Cloak

As the Immortal Palace strategy enters its final stage, teams from other Border Cities begin to prepare for their departure.

Many foreign families left Lava Mine City early, carrying the spoils from the Immortal Palace and the ashes of their clansmen as they embarked on their return journey.

Among them were some families who left with deep regret and remorse.

Upon learning of the imminent crisis within the Immortal Palace, they chose to leave to preserve themselves, rather than proceeding to suppress the anchor points.

They were not local families, but came seeking opportunities.

No one would compel them to participate in the war to suppress the Calamity. Even though they understood that if the Calamity spread, they would not fare well.

Similarly, after the conclusion of this Immortal Palace war, the official integrated spoils would be completely unobtainable for them.

The families that participated in this Calamity war, however, gained official friendship, obtaining not only some intelligence from future civilizations but also several official shared inheritances.

If an individual family alone partook in the Immortal Palace like headless flies in the strategy, they would hardly reap much of a harvest.

Now, those families willing to stand with the Giant City amid the Calamity have received tremendous rewards.

This has left the withdrawing families envious and red-eyed, as so many inheritances and intelligence could genuinely enrich their family heritage.

But regretfully, when they chose to retreat, they had already missed out on all of it.

Meanwhile, the families choosing to suppress the Calamity reciprocate the favor, with some young members intending to join the Border City remaining in the Giant City.

Through their efforts, they will become processors, or join the army to become military Spiritual Ability Users. Of course, the premise is that they can pass the tests.

In the bloody war, these young people built solid camaraderie with official warriors, voluntarily offering their support to the Giant City.

Thus, the four Giant Cities gained some young people with spiritual potential.

Among them, the No.3 Border City has the largest number.

In some respects, Hong Lan’s remarks are accurate; that figure moving upstream amidst the enemy tide attracted many gazes.

Leading to some gossip that the Champion Agent seemed to possess some enchanting demon traits… Careful not to be corrupted by the Jile Sect.

But upon recalling he is the Champion Agent, such worries dissipate.

Before leaving, official strongmen gathered for a small meeting at the inn: Li Ye, Doll, Hongyi, Mo He, and others all attended.

If no other mishaps occur, their next gathering would be during the attack on Black Origin City.

At the gathering, Li Ye utilized the Divine Demon Stele to suppress curses within a certain range, allowing Doll to remove her helmet. Though still bearing traces of the Fear Curse, she could at least attend the dinner normally.

It was her first time dining with friends, her eyes sparkling with delight.

She no longer suffered from insomnia in recent days, slept soundly, and was radiant.

Making her already beautiful face all the more captivating, drawing attention.

Everyone marveled at her beauty.

Mo He, also a woman, lamented: “Such a beautiful girl, only old Li gets to appreciate her. No wonder that mimicking beast is insanely jealous. I’m jealous myself…”

Doll is still easily embarrassed; teased by Mo He, her face turned markedly red. Her small hands tightly clutching Li Ye’s palm.

Mo He’s injuries on her hands and feet have mostly healed, allowing her free movement.

In response, the Mo Family Overlord expressed immense gratitude towards Doll and the already departed Little Mad King, even prepared a lot of thank-you gifts.

Currently, there’s a Mo Family team desperately pursuing the Little Mad King, attempting to deliver the gifts, unsure if they will catch up?

The Mo Family’s gratitude was not unexpected; had it not been for these two’s timely arrival, Mo He would have faced dire consequences. If Ye Han, that beast, were still alive, he might have been torn limb from limb.

This time, Mo He demonstrated her ability, commanding hundreds of thousands of troopers into battle! With repeated assassinations by the Yunling Civilization, she also showcased her strength in that future timeline.

Moreover, this time the officials acquired the technology of Planting Beans into Soldiers, which, for battlefield commanders like Mo He, provides a nice upgrade.

Despite the attenuation of the Imitative Heavenly Soldier’s instant teleportation ability upon leaving the Heavenly Palace, it will still be a surprise troop.

Mo He will become even more terrifying on the battlefield. The Forbidden Zone legions are in for some hardships…

Simultaneously, the Mo Family Overlord invited Li Ye, saying that he must visit the No.1 Border City sometime.

Li Ye did not decline, stating he would visit the Mo Family after his promotion.

Master Mo Hai is one of the few renowned artisans in the Giant City; the Spiritual Ability Equipment he crafts are all masterpieces!

Previously, Li Ye brought back vast resources from the Church, allowing the officials to craft Captain Yang Chen an S-Class Spiritual Ability Equipment.

That S-Class Equipment was indeed crafted by Master Mo Hai, who had revitalized himself.

It took half a month, one successful attempt, truly the work of a master craftsman.

By the time accounted, that weapon should have already reached Captain Yang Chen’s hands.

With an S-Class Equipment, Yang Chen’s combat strength will be boosted anew. Who knows, perhaps someday a Divine Calamity Weapon will be created.

As of now, Li Ye possesses two A-level Equipment; the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, albeit with blunted edges and broken spear ear, is still repairable.

The Blood Cloud Ring Head Blade, which Li Ye has only used a few times, remains fresh from the factory, needing no replacement.

Though the A-level armor was destroyed, new gear can be crafted within the officials.
