Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

In the dimly lit room, Little Mad King, dressed in a black bodysuit, stood silently by the bedside, leaning over and looking at Li Yelai on the bed.

The bodysuit cleverly accentuated her perfect curves: a full bust, a slender waist, firm and rounded hips, and long, alluring legs. Even in the dimly lit room, her charm was undeniable. Or rather, the very ambiguity amplified her allure.

Li Yelai, who had just woken up from his sleep, thought he was still half asleep.

He thought to himself, "That believer who wants to improve himself probably wouldn't have the guts to send a woman into the room after God has given the order. Isn't he afraid I'll kill her?"

Could it be that I was having some kind of dream? No way, I'm considered one of the Blood River God's chosen ones. Could it be that the Chaos God wanted to corrupt me with a erotic dream? Was he trying to steal a member of the Blood River?
It wasn't until he heard Little Mad King's cold voice that Li Yelai fully woke up.

The visitor was indeed the Little Mad King!
She actually caught up with me? And even sneaked into my room?
This shocked Li Yelai greatly. The Little Mad King's infiltration skills were simply too amazing!
Although this was only a temporary outpost of the Church of the Embers, there were many psionicists and followers patrolling nearby, not to mention two Blood River Chosen of the Sixth Awakening level inside the outpost. How did she manage to sneak in like that?
There were still several believers guarding the entrance to Li Yelaiji.

"How did you manage to catch up? That's too risky! There are two Chosen Ones among us!" Li Yelai said in a low voice.

Little Mad King looked down at Li Yelai with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

She wasn't lying; she really had been looking for Li Yelai for a long time.

The two split up in Silver Mountain City. Little Mad King intercepted and killed the Four-Winged Angel, creating an opportunity for Li Ye to assassinate Mei Wu.

Afterwards, a meteorite struck, preventing the two from reuniting, and they each fled Silver Mountain City.

Subsequently, Li Yelai fled to the Broken Mountains, where he was pursued and intercepted by the angels.

Little Mad King and the other two groups were unable to reunite with Li Yelai as they were blocking the support teams of the four-winged angels in various places.

After that, Li Ye fled towards the edge of the restricted area. Little Mad King repeatedly intervened to clear out his pursuers, disrupting the restricted area's tracking and allowing him to successfully approach the Extreme Cold Mountains.

However, they were unable to reunite as a result.

Finally, when Li Yelai was being hunted down by the angels of the Golden Family, it was Little Mad King who intervened, killing the four-winged angel of the Golden Family and some of their elites.

This allowed Li Yelai to escape into a karst cave in the snowy mountains.

Due to the massive avalanche and cave collapse, she completely lost track of Li Yelai. After clearing away the angels who had survived the avalanche, she fled the restricted area and remained outside its borders, waiting for Li Yelai.

She believed that Li Yelai, as her teammate, would not die easily.

As a result, Li Yelai received instructions and intelligence from the headquarters in Jucheng before he could receive the message.

Li Yelai became the Chosen One of Chaos and infiltrated the Church of the Embers.

Even the usually aloof Little Mad King was stunned for a moment.

Becoming the chosen one of the Chaos Gods? Doesn't that mean he's already corrupted?

Then how was it possible to send the compass back to headquarters?

Or is this a conspiracy by the corrupt Li Yelai against the authorities?
Can.
Filled with doubt, Little Mad King used his navigation compass to locate the Styx Horn in Li Yelai's hand, and after confirming its position, he pursued it at full speed.

In this abandoned city, she discovered the forces of the Church of the Embers.

After spending more than ten minutes confirming the combat deployment within the stronghold, he sneaked directly into Li Yelai's room without taking a break.

At this moment, she looked at Li Yelai, who had sat up in bed, and asked, "You really became the chosen one?"

Li Yelai nodded and said in a very low voice, "Although it is hard to believe, I did become that damned God's chosen one and received His blessing and name, but I was not corrupted. Otherwise, I would not have sent the life matter and information back to the giant city."

Little Mad King paused, realizing she had also received this information. This was also why she was unwilling to believe her teammates would betray humanity.

For humanity, the title of "Chosen One of Chaos" is far too despicable.

"So, you didn't become corrupted, yet you received the blessing of the Chaos God? Isn't that...?"

"Yes, I got it for free!" Li Yelai smiled and said those two words for Little Mad King: "If I have the chance, I'll get a few more for free."

She stared at Li Ye for a long time before replying, "Teammate, I know you're special, and I know there's a powerful and mysterious figure behind you. But if you become corrupted, I'll send you away. Remember that."

Her previously tense hand gradually relaxed.

"I know." Li Yelai nodded slightly. If a teammate becomes corrupt and twisted, the best way is to free them and send them off to their final resting place.

Little Mad King's words may seem like a threat, but in reality, she already believes in herself.

Then, Li Yelai asked, "What are you doing here? By the door."

“This stronghold is very rudimentary, with few defensive measures, and no one can detect me. As long as I don’t assassinate those two chosen ones, I can completely eliminate everyone silently.” Little Mad King looked at Li Yelai: “Including you, the chosen one.”

Li Yelai nodded; that was indeed the truth.

If she hadn't deliberately revealed herself, Li Yelai wouldn't have noticed her, let alone the other church members.

No wonder it's said that if she were to become a supreme ruler or king, even the King of the Forbidden Zone would have to be careful when taking a dump.

A master assassin of the highest caliber possesses this terrifying power of dominance.

With a blade that could be thrust out from the shadows at any moment, coupled with the curse of the Little Mad King's distrust, everyone on the battlefield where she is must be on high alert.

Little Mad King's tense muscles gradually relaxed, and he sat on the edge of the bed and said in a low voice, "My mission was to keep up with you and cooperate with you. I chased you at full speed all night, and I've finally caught up with you."

This is a good thing. Li Yelai can only contact Jing Lin, who is located in the giant city, and is not yet able to make effective contact with his teammates on the front line.

This was a risk. But now, with Little Mad King around, there's no need to worry for the time being.

A faint smile appeared on Little Mad King's face: "It's all thanks to you, the newly chosen god, for not being interested in women. Otherwise, I would have to consider knocking out a few women."

"Uh, I'm a freeloader, not a freeloader. Anyway, how did you even find out this?" Li Yelai asked.

"Hmm, I heard some members discussing how to curry favor with you. They said you looked down on those two female members, which made them very disappointed." Little Mad King replied, "You are the Chosen Emperor, with an extremely high status within the church. Even if you are only at the fourth level of enlightenment, it would be enough for them to do everything they can to please you."

"Then I'll have to squeeze a good amount out of you." Li Yelai smiled. Spiritual energy weapons, extraordinary armor, extraordinary treasures—Li Yelai was open to anything. If only he could get a few mounts...
Yes, a mount!

The Church of Embers is a large and powerful organization; surely it could provide a few mounts for God's chosen ones?

Let's leak a little information tomorrow and see how they arrange their own mounts.

He even picked out names for himself: Old Ma No. 3 and No. 4.
Li Yelai thought to himself, then asked, "So how should we contact each other? Should I wait for you to come find me?"

"I will lie in wait around you, and once I'm sure you're alone, I will respond," said the Little Mad King. "We just need to agree on a code word, keep it normal." A code word? Then we can't act too strangely; there might be a listening device or something else nearby.

It's best to embody it as a habit.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yelai said, "Then... shall we hum a little tune?"

After thinking for a moment, Little Mad King nodded slightly: "Okay, when you hum a little tune, once I'm sure there's no one around you and no surveillance or eavesdropping, I'll respond to you."

"This sounds a bit like summoning a creature," Li Yelai clicked his tongue. "Summoning your big dad by humming a little tune?"

“You know I don’t care,” Little Mad King continued. “You can hum a tune to summon me anywhere. However, if you enter a branch later, things might get a little complicated. There might be even stronger individuals inside, and I might not be able to infiltrate with you. We’ll have to think of another way later.”

“Be careful and don’t push yourself. I’m God’s Chosen. Even if I said I was an undercover agent, they wouldn’t believe me. It’s actually quite safe,” Li Yelai said, opening his backpack on the bedside table and taking out a lucky wheel, which he handed to Little Mad King. “However, this is too big and easy to spot. Take it with you for now. Bring it back to me when you need it.”

This is an old routine; when they assassinated Meiwu before, they had Little Mad King deliver the supplies and equipment to the church first.

Little Mad King nodded, picked up the lucky wheel, and stood up, preparing to disappear into the shadows. But he stopped at the last step and said, "I'm glad you're still alive, my teammate."

“Yes, me too.” Li Yelai nodded.

Then, Little Mad King was enveloped in black smoke and disappeared into the shadows.

The next day, Li Yelai walked out of the room, and the followers remained as fervent as ever.

They remained completely unaware of Little Mad King's arrival, instead continuing to fawn over Li Ye.

When they heard that Li Yelai was planning to get a mount, they smiled with delight and nodded in agreement.

He also stated that upon returning to the branch headquarters, he would definitely select a suitable mount for the Chosen One.

It seemed that everyone was eager to improve, which made Li Yelai chuckle.

The team then set off, driving the vehicles from the base deep into the wilderness towards a remote, abandoned city.

Li Yelai, Hong Nu, and Xue Yin were sitting in the off-road vehicle in the middle of the convoy.

"Is that where our branch is located?" Li Yelai asked. "Inside the abandoned city?"

“No, our branch is much further away. We're only going there to pick up some believers who have come to the wilderness. And you should also start building your own faction.” Red said angrily, “There, you might find some servants that suit your taste. Just like my servants.”

He pointed outside the car to a cult member on a motorcycle, whose strength was probably at the fifth level, carrying two saws on his back. Half of his face had been torn off by something, so he was wearing a mask.

"He was the servant I recruited back then, my most loyal subordinate," Hong Nu laughed.

Was that city the gathering place of the Church of Embers in the wilderness? Li Yelai wondered to himself.

"Not bad, and if we're lucky, we might even be able to capture some psionicists and put on a good show for us." Blood Drinker laughed, "A year ago, they captured Night Watchman from the Second Border City there. He successfully fought his way out of the arena, received the blessing of our Lord, and although he didn't become a chosen one, his strength increased greatly. He also returned safely to the Second Border City."

"I see, then I'm looking forward to it." Li Yelai smiled, but his heart tightened.

In the second border city, there is a Night Watchman who has been blessed by Chaos?

Okay, okay, so you've got work right away, huh?
Find an opportunity to send these two pieces of information back to the Great City using the Ark Ticket!

The convoy then continued on its way, becoming increasingly chaotic along the way.

Li Yelai saw a caravan that had been attacked. The caravan members had recently died, but all of them had been decapitated, and several of the caravan guards had been brutally dismembered. Blood flowed like a river, and the method of the attack clearly indicated who had committed it.

Li Yelai also saw the destroyed village, a gathering place for scavengers, but now only mottled bloodstains remained on the metal fence. The entire camp was deserted.

Wherever these believers went, they brought slaughter. They seized every opportunity to kill, wiping out all the humans they encountered.

Damn it, those beasts!
As darkness fell, the convoy successfully arrived at the abandoned city.

However, strangely enough, no one came to greet the convoy.

The abandoned city was instead filled with a large number of corpses.

This enraged Hong Nu greatly. He charged out of the convoy, leaped through the air, and headed straight into the depths of the city.

The rest of the followers followed closely behind. Li Yelai wanted to laugh, so he also used his aerial stepping technique to catch up with the group.

The abandoned city has been transformed into a fortress, with various cannonballs and strange formations deployed.

At this moment, however, it was forcibly broken open by violence, a large number of defensive fortifications were destroyed, and hundreds of members of the Church of the Ashes were killed in various corners and ruins.

They had clearly been attacked by a very strong opponent, and they were unable to put up any effective resistance.

This made Li Yelai want to laugh. Good heavens, karma has come!
But as the chosen one, Li Yelai suppressed his laughter and could only show his anger.

"who is it?"

Red Fury roared in mid-air. He saw the person in charge left at this gathering point, a sixth-level expert, whose neck had been broken. His body was pierced by a stone spike and hung in mid-air.

The Ember Church followers gathered here suffered heavy losses, with a large number of psionicists killed.

Enraged, Hong grabbed a survivor and roared, "Who? Who attacked you?"

"Is it a giant city? Or another force? Or perhaps another faction?"

Good grief, they've even started suspecting their own church.

Li Yelai was struggling to suppress his laughter; if it were a dog-eat-dog situation, that would be for the best.

The follower struggled to speak: "Sir...it's...the champion team! It's their elite Night Scouts!"

Li Yelai's expression froze.

The champion team, the elite squad that never rests at night?
Tiger Warriors and the White Robe Group were definitely not them; after their bloody battle in the forbidden zone, they returned to the giant city to rest.

Those are the Beiwei Group and the Xuanjia Group?
'Wouldn't that be...'

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away in the mountains, a short-haired girl gazed at the burning, abandoned city in the distance. (End of Chapter)
