Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Heaven's Realm has captured three Night Scouts and intends to publicly execute them in a forbidden town!

This infuriated Li Yelai.

"How could this be?"

He continued to look down.

After arriving in the restricted area, the Tiger Legion quickly obtained this important information from the villages and towns inhabited by humans within the restricted area.

It is said that several scouts from Border City No. 2 and several psychics from the Ma family, a family of psychic powers, entered the outer area of ​​the restricted zone in order to carry out a certain mission.

There's nothing special about it.

In the past, the Night Scouts hunted extraordinary creatures in the uninhabited areas surrounding the restricted zone and within the territory of the extraordinary creatures within the restricted zone.

The extraordinary creatures hunted will be purchased by the authorities at high prices and used as weapon materials or potion ingredients by the handlers. The Night Scouts will also gain a large number of merit points, which they can use to strengthen themselves.

This is one of the official internal loop steps.

This time, the Night Watch team went particularly deep into the restricted area, and judging from their actions, they seemed to be trying to kill the human traitor, Meiwu.

However, Meiwu was protected by too many powerful figures, causing the assassination to fail. After several days of pursuit and encirclement, the team was unable to break through.

After the bloody battle, several scouts and members of the Ma family were killed, and three scouts were wounded and captured. The fate of the rest is unknown.

These three scouts have now been escorted to Silver Mountain City in the Heavenly Realm and are being imprisoned there.

Silver Mountain City, a city on the edge of the Heavenly Kingdom, shelters the surrounding villages.

Although it is a remote area, it is still guarded by four-winged angels with the strength of the sixth level of enlightenment.

In fact, attacking the escort team on the way was the best opportunity for rescue.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident, the Tiger Squad, which had only just received the news, had no time to rescue the other party on the way.

They could only pass the message to the various outposts.

This was to inform the night watchmen within this restricted area.

The intelligence in Li Yelai's hands was delivered to the base by Zhu Feng, a Netherworld Path psionicist from the Tiger Legion.

As a psionicist of the Nether Path, Wind Chaser also possesses a Shadowfiend mount, which is extremely fast and highly stealthy.

If Li Yelai and Little Mad King had arrived at the stronghold half a day earlier, they might have been able to meet Zhu Feng.

This intelligence made both of them look serious.

"Is Border City No. 2 also planning to kill Meiwu?" Li Yelai asked.

“Of course, traitors deserve to be killed by everyone. However, to avoid exposure, the giant cities don’t communicate with each other.” Little Mad King replied, “Meiwu used to be the night watchman of the second border city. The second border city is very eager to clean house. And the Ma family. Meiwu used to have close relationships with several core members of the Ma family, and it is said that she was even in a relationship with that woman in red.”

Red dress?

Li Yelai thought the name sounded familiar. After a moment's thought, he realized he had seen it on a forum.

That was a young powerhouse from the second border city. At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, he had already advanced to the fifth level of awakening and become an elite Night Scout.

To avenge his teammates, he once ventured alone into the wilderness for hundreds of miles, hunting down three illegal psychics.

They killed all three before they could escape into the restricted area.

Li Yelai said, "That person in red, so he's from the Ma family?"

"Well, it's not exactly a big secret, but no one will say it outright either. After Meiwu betrayed them, she personally executed several members of the Ma family, including Hongyi's closest relatives and friends. The multiple blows almost twisted Hongyi's personality." Little Mad King explained, "The grudge was too great, and the Ma family also wanted to kill Meiwu."

"However, their assassination attempt failed, and three of them were captured instead," Li Yelai sighed. "What do we do next?"

"We need to get to a deeper stronghold first and meet up with the other Night Scouts." Little Mad King replied, "We won't rest tonight; we need to get to the next stronghold as soon as possible."

Li Yelai nodded.

The two then took all their equipment out of the armored vehicle.

Four prohibited items, along with various foods and clothing, were all packed into two backpacks.

For ease of carrying, Li Yelai donned the Bright Light Armor, draped the Night-Uncollecting Windbreaker over it, carried the Thousand-Machine Black Umbrella, and slung a hiking backpack over his shoulder. His appearance was indescribably strange.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, the two quickly darted out of the curtained cave stronghold, transforming into two dark figures that swiftly traversed the mountain forest.

We're not far from the edge of the restricted area, and supernatural creatures are starting to appear in greater numbers.

Under these circumstances, the two of them didn't need to worry about their psionic energy fluctuations being detected. So they both used aerial stepping.

They began to fly low over the jungle and valleys.

Li Yelai's speed could actually be even faster, whether by using Huo Qubing's facial makeup or by using the phrase "swift as the wind" to enhance his speed.

Alternatively, summoning the Heavenly Comet Qilin to travel can greatly increase speed.

However, using Facebook could attract enemies or lead to other misfortunes.

The Heavenly Comet Qilin, in the end, is simply too conspicuous.

This forced Li Yelai to travel by stepping through the air, which was troublesome and tiring, but much faster than traveling by vehicle.

The two moved swiftly above the jungle, even spotting several sleeping supernatural creatures. Without disturbing them, they bypassed their territory and continued their journey.

Every hour, stop and rest for half an hour to recover spiritual energy and replenish physical strength.

This wasn't because either of them was exhausted in terms of physical strength or psychic energy, but rather to ensure they were both in peak condition, just in case.

After stopping and starting five times, the two finally reached the foot of the continuous mountain range.

Once you cross this mountain range, you'll enter a restricted area.

Li Yelai, from here, also saw the magnificent fortress nestled in the distant valley.

That was one of the gates to the forbidden zone, guarded by a large number of forbidden zone creatures, and even a considerable number of auxiliary troops.

The servant army is actually a group of humans who have been transformed by the forbidden zone order.

"Be careful not to reveal your psionic abilities," Little Mad King said, pointing to a building atop a distant mountain peak. "They've set up outposts on many of their peaks. If they discover anyone infiltrating, they'll sound the alarm and summon the Forbidden Zone's army."

Li Yelai nodded silently, and then followed the Little Mad King into the mountains.

Upon reaching this point, both of them had to suppress their spiritual energy and rely on their physical strength to climb the mountain.

After walking for more than an hour, Li Yelai saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance and could clearly feel the temperature around him starting to drop.

"Are we approaching the Frost Mountains?" Li Yelai asked. "Yes, the Frost Mountains are a natural barrier to the Forbidden Zone; no one can enter, not even the creatures of the Forbidden Zone. So, this is one of their weaknesses," Little Mad King explained, continuing to approach the snow-capped mountains.

When we arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the weather was already covered in snow. A gust of cold wind swept through, scattering the snowflakes everywhere.

Li Yelai could clearly feel his spiritual energy barrier beginning to stiffen and lose its fluidity. His skin also started to show signs of dryness and cracking.

The cold wind blowing down from the snow-capped mountains alone can freeze psionic energy.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying the battlefield must be atop a snow-capped mountain.

"However, this is a good place to seal away creatures of the Void Realm," Li Yelai thought to himself, but he faintly heard something in the cold wind.

'right'

A hoarse and faint sound came from the wind and snow.

"Did you hear anything?" Li Yelai stopped and asked.

The Little Mad King was quiet for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, what did you hear?"

That shouldn't be the case. Li Yelai could hear the sound, so why couldn't the more physically stronger Little Mad King hear it?
Li Ye listened for a moment, but the previous sound never came again, so he could only shake his head.

"You might have misheard."

"No, it could also be some kind of echo. There are legends in the forbidden zone that the resentful roars of powerful humans are frozen atop the snow-capped mountains. Occasionally, creatures beneath the mountains hear certain sounds," Little Mad King explained.

Next, instead of climbing the snow-capped mountain, the two arrived at a snow-covered rocky outcrop at the foot of the mountain.

After inspecting the surroundings, Little Mad King smashed the hardened snow layer, revealing a cave in the mountain rock.

The two filed into the cave, and the cave entrance was quickly covered again by wind and snow.

Little Mad King even took out a thermos and poured it onto the snow. The water froze quickly, making the snow even harder.

"This is one of the paths into the forbidden zone. You must remember this path. If we get separated during the mission, this will be your escape route," Little Mad King reminded him.

"What if there are pursuers behind me?" Li Yelai asked, frowning. "If they keep chasing me, won't I be exposed if I enter this route? If they ambush me here, won't I kill you and your teammates?"

"You don't need to worry about me. It's perfectly normal for me to stay in the restricted area for a month or two. As for the other comrades, our escape routes for each group are different for this mission."

Little Mad King explained, "The Tiger Legion's route doesn't overlap with ours. They might be on the other side of the restricted area, or they might be lurking directly inside. As long as you can escape, even if you're discovered, at most one route will be ruined. Don't die trying to protect a route; the route is there to help you survive. Don't put the cart before the horse."

Li Yelai nodded. Since it wouldn't implicate his teammates, he would consider it if the situation became urgent.

Let's just use the Heavenly Comet Qilin to fly here; there shouldn't be any safety issues.

The two then turned on their flashlights and entered the cave.

The cave's pathways are intricate and complex, but they are guided by official codes. If creatures from forbidden zones were to come here, they would likely get lost.

After walking through the cave for nearly an hour, we arrived at the exit.

Both were covered in ice and snow, but after sensing for a while and confirming that no one was nearby, Little Mad King broke through the snow layer.

As the snow fell, Li Yelai saw the scenery of the forbidden zone for the first time.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of jungle and plains.

Li Yelai took out his binoculars and peered out, even spotting a village in the far distance.

The buildings are generally not tall, and the architectural style is very simple and strange. There are no high-rise buildings or cars driving by, but there are wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.

In the center of the village stood a huge angel statue, before which many people knelt in worship, seemingly in prayer.

"Is this the Heavenly Realm?"

Li Yelai and Little Mad King walked out of the cave and truly entered the forbidden zone.

In an instant, Li Yelai felt a force descend from the starry sky of the Void Realm. For Li Yelai, it was not strong, but he still felt a sense of unease.

It felt as if a fine spider web was wrapped around my body; although it could be easily torn off, it was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"This is the order of the forbidden zone," the Little Mad King said. "It is ineffective against psionicists of the third awakening level or above, but it is extremely effective against beings below the third awakening level. The order will transform their bodies and minds."

Then, Little Mad King pointed to the villages and towns in the distance: "Look over there, those were originally our fellow humans. But under the influence of the rules of the forbidden zone, their minds and bodies have gradually become distorted, moving closer to the creatures of the void. Don't be fooled by their similar appearance to us, their internal structure is completely different from ours."

"The Forbidden Zone Order will silently transform the Forbidden Zone humans, leaving factors in each and every one of them, altering their genetic makeup."

"As they reproduce, the concentration of factors in the forbidden zone will increase. And they will begin to modify humans from the embryonic stage."

"With each generation, the newborn humans of the forbidden zone will be closer to the creatures of the forbidden zone than the previous generation."

Li Yelai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Will they eventually transform into pure forbidden zone creatures? Become beings of the Void Realm?"

If that's the case, then that's truly terrifying.

Virtual beings are inherently immortal; in most cases, their physical bodies can only be destroyed and they banished to the virtual realm.

If all humans in the forbidden zones were to become ethereal beings, wouldn't the forbidden zones possess an immortal army?

Mr. Ying must be eating until he's sick of it, right?

“No, only those who receive the King’s blessing, or a very few with exceptional talent, have the opportunity to become true beings of the forbidden zones.” The Little Mad King carried his bag forward and explained, “The rest of the humans in the forbidden zones are just empty shells.”

"Body?" Li Yelai was taken aback, then lifted his leg to follow Little Mad King.

"Yes, although the creatures of the Void Realm are immortal, they need a physical body to return to the physical world," said the Little Mad King. "And it is very difficult for ordinary humans to become the body of a Void Realm creature; it requires both body and soul to be compatible. You should have seen it before."

Li Yelai nodded silently. The first creature he encountered in the illusory realm was born from a mad woman who used some kind of evil ritual to devour several children and sacrifice several lives.

If there were no other restrictions, that illusory creature could simply use a woman's body.

The creatures of the Void Realm are immortal and roam freely, yearning for suitable bodies. Therefore, psionicists easily become their targets, as they are more suitable vessels than ordinary humans.

The only saving grace is that the higher the level of the illusory creature, the longer it takes to return.

If you kill a supreme being, it will take decades, or even centuries, for him to return.

"Under the transformation of the forbidden zone's order, these forbidden zone humans have become spare bodies for the creatures of the forbidden zone. Through generations of transformation, their bodies and souls have become infinitely close to those of Void Realm creatures, yet they are not pure Void Realm creatures. On the contrary, they are the best bodies."

The Little Mad King sighed softly: "So, even if a creature is banished to a forbidden zone, as long as it has a suitable body, it won't take many years for it to return to the physical world."

"These forbidden zones must be eradicated, or humanity will never have peace!"
