Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The Qinling headquarters prepared a grand welcome banquet for Li Yelai's arrival.

A large number of high-ranking members of the headquarters appeared to participate in the grand event.

The powerful were numerous, including the seven demon generals who had slain the demons and the thirteen chosen servants of the gods.

Leaving aside the chosen servants for now, six of the seven demon generals are at the sixth level of awakening, and the other is a seventh-level overlord!
Fortunately, the Little Mad King disguised himself as a maid; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to hide from them.

They are the spokespeople for the extermination, wielding considerable power within the headquarters. They command a vast number of elite troops, including over 30,000 melee demons like the vampires alone.

Even as a chosen one, Li Yelai could not surpass their power in controlling the headquarters. As a newly chosen one, apart from some of the legacies of Red Fury and Blood Drinker, he did not have much of a base.

And Jiang Yong and his demon generals are the representatives of slaughter. They wield the power of that overlord-level chosen god.

But now, these powerful Chaos Demon Generals are also giving Li Yelai full courtesy.

On the high platform of the enormous underground arena.

Li Yelai sat in the main seat, with his servants Gongsun and He Liu and others on his left, and the demon generals of Zhutu on his right. Even overlords had to bow respectfully to him.

Meanwhile, countless delicacies are served by beautiful maidens, while a terrible massacre is unfolding in the arena.

Eight hundred and eighty-eight creatures fought each other here.

Some of them were scavengers captured by the church, some were prisoners from other factions, and some were fanatical followers of the Blood God faction.

They slaughtered to their hearts' content, and as their bodies were soaked in blood, they seemed to be covered in scarlet armor, and the power they unleashed grew stronger and stronger.

Whether they liked it or not, they had already embarked on the path of slaughter and begun to follow that chaotic god.

This is corruption. Under the evil ritual, their killings were rewarded, and even though they resisted in their hearts, they could not resist becoming believers of that being.

Li Yelai even saw someone crying as they stabbed their own relatives to death, and he himself was twisted in despair.

Li Yelai felt a chill run down his spine at the sight, but he was powerless to save them. The only thing that made Li Yelai feel fortunate was that there were no night watchmen here.

Finally, after Li Yelai and the others finished their meal, only a dozen or so blood-covered figures remained standing in the arena.

They were now wearing thick, menacing armor, and each of them exuded a significantly stronger aura than before.

But the fighting was not over. They raised their blades again and roared as they charged at each other.

At this moment, they seemed to have lost all reason. The power from the illusory realm was affecting their minds and bodies, making them stronger and more brutal.

On the high platform, the demon general and the chosen servant of the gods were making light comments with smiles.

They even set up betting pools.

"The one with the gun is quite skilled. He should be the final winner."

"No, although he is strong, his arm is already half crippled. He can't last long in this kind of intense battle."

“I have a good eye on the one with the long axe. Look, he’s chiseled open another skull.”

“Your vision is too shallow. Look at that woman who uses double maces. She may seem to be suppressed, but she has actually been conserving her strength.”

The chosen servants discussed among themselves and placed bets, with psychic weapons and other extraordinary materials being put on the gambling table.

"Lord Emperor, who do you think it will be?" Jiang Yong asked with a smile. "This ceremony was specially prepared for you."

Yes, according to Jiang Yong, this was so that Li Ye could select the demon generals.

After all, it's rather pathetic for a chosen one of the gods to have no demon generals by his side.

This is their expression of goodwill towards a chosen one.

This is also why believers who have no connections but yearn to stand by God's side actively participate.

Li Yelai cursed these beasts in his heart, but his face remained completely calm: "They're all passable. But if I had to pick one, that woman with the double maces should be the last one standing."

"As expected of Lord Emperor's Fall, your combat experience is indeed rich." The overlord-level demon general chuckled and raised his cup to Li Yelai.

The others also started showering him with compliments.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the woman wielding double maces smashed the head of her last opponent, scattering crimson blood all over her body.

The blood circulates rapidly and congeals instantly.

It completed the ferocious armor on the woman's body.

The moment the armor was fully assembled, a force descended from the void, and the woman's aura grew even stronger.

The Blood God was generous, bestowing upon her a blessing that made her a true Chaos Demon General.

The female demon knelt on one knee and bowed to the high platform.

Li Yelai nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted her loyalty. From then on, she became Li Yelai's first demon general.

This made He Liu's face turn somewhat ugly. He had only just become a personal guard, and a demon general had already appeared. He hadn't even become a demon general yet!

But he also knew that becoming a demon general was extremely difficult, and he himself wasn't very confident. He could only force a smile as he greeted the female demon general.

"Alright, we've eaten, watched the show, and the Demon General has appeared. If you have anything else to say, just say it directly," Li Yelai said.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Jiang Yong said, "No offense intended, Lord Di Yun. Lord Zhu Tu once issued an order that certain strategic issues cannot be changed before his return, and the First to Fifth Legions refuse to accept any other orders, not even from other lords."

"What do you mean? Although we are both chosen by God, he has the bigger fist, so naturally we listen to him." Li Yelai chuckled. "Besides, I have no intention of interfering in the headquarters' operations."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Emperor Fall." The demon generals of the Slaughtering Demons bowed and said, "Of course, in addition, you can allocate any manpower and resources as you wish. Furthermore, we will support you in certain strategic operations. For example, we are prepared to provide you with the Fifth Legion to support Lord Burning Howl's actions."

Li Yelai nodded; he had actually anticipated this. Hong Nu had once said that the supreme leader of the main headquarters was Fen Xiao. The other chosen ones could not directly command the entire main headquarters. At least, not before becoming overlords.

Li Yelai felt somewhat regretful about this. If he could, he really wanted to lead the seven legions of the main headquarters to directly attack the restricted area. He would wear them all down within the restricted area, allowing the giant city to reap a huge advantage.

But since things have come to this, there's no point in forcing it.

Seeing that Li Yelai was easy to talk to, Jiang Yong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yelai continued, "What if I need certain materials or elixirs? Will you impose any restrictions?"

“Aside from certain items in Lord Zhutu’s private collection and certain forbidden items, you can allocate the rest. That’s within your authority,” Jiang Yong replied.

Li Yelai nodded in satisfaction. Being able to enter the warehouse was enough!

His plan could then be implemented.

Once Li Yelai finds the Ancient Dragon Ball, he will be able to advance to the fifth level of enlightenment.

Then he's going to try to challenge for the fourth ring seat on the Ark!
Once he successfully becomes a voter in the fourth ring of the Ark, he will gain some of the Ark's privileges.

After reaching the fifth level of enlightenment, a psionicist's Soul Well opens up a vast space, allowing them to place psionic weapons and other extraordinary items into it.

Just like the Little Mad King's two-handed greatsword, after it was repaired, she tossed it into the Well of Souls with a wave of her hand. She can take it out whenever she needs it.

Very convenient.

But other things still had to be carried or brought along. However, with the authority of a fourth-ring seat, Li Ye could toss various items into the Ark at any time!

Just like the black umbrella dog, which always carries an umbrella, it's very pretentious.

In reality, his trump card was the corpse puppet, which he had placed inside the Ark, ready to be retrieved from spatial fluctuations whenever needed.

This made his actions very convenient.

As long as he has a ticket to the Ark, he can take out various weapons or corpse puppets at any time.

If Li Yelai can obtain a seat in the fourth ring, he can easily plunder all the church's resources!

Hehe, having been supplied by countless followers for decades, the headquarters has abundant resources, perhaps even more abundant than those of a giant city!
Then, we'll move everything out!

Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, Li Yelai tried to use the lucky wheel to ensure that there was no evidence against him!

The only question is whether I, with my five senses, can successfully challenge for a fourth-ring seat.

Those at the fourth level are often highly skilled in the sixth level of perception.
Well, the Fourth Ring Road challenge is supposedly not fatal. I'll just have to try it out when the time comes.

Li Yelai felt a little better after thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yong and the others were communicating in secret.

"Lord Emperor Fall seems very easy to talk to, much easier to communicate with than Red Fury and Blood Drinker."

"I thought that the chosen one who received the name 'Emperor's Fall' would be arrogant and domineering because our lord looked up to him. I didn't expect him to be so normal."

"That's fine. Just provide him with all the necessary resources so he can feel at ease."

"Let's observe him further; I have a feeling there's something strange about him."

Then, Li Yelai saw his first demon general.

A female demon general knelt on one knee and bowed to Li Yelai once more.

He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a strong build and a rather delicate face, but the fervor in his eyes made Li Yelai somewhat uncomfortable.

His spiritual path is True Martial, and his awakening level is the Fifth Awakening. For his age, he can be considered quite talented. No wonder he became a Demon General.

After confirming that her name was Baiya, Li Yelai told her to step down and rest.

Afterwards, Li Yelai passed through several security checkpoints and returned to his room.

It was a large room where you could see the cliffs and forests not far away through the windows.

Upon entering the room, Li Yelai saw Little Mad King dressed in a long dress.

She didn't seem used to wearing skirts; she was sitting on the bed, fiddling with the hem of her skirt. At that moment, she looked somewhat innocent.

Upon seeing Li Yelai return, she hurried to greet him, her face flushed with shyness and infatuation: "Lord Di Yun, you're back. Would you like to take a bath first?"

Li Yelai remained expressionless, but was momentarily stunned.

He subconsciously thought that either Little Mad King had crashed into Paradise, or that he himself had crashed into Paradise.

At this point, what are you playing? Are you getting too caught up in the game?
Little Mad King stepped forward, grabbed Li Yelai's arm, and prepared to take off his clothes. He also subtly placed Li Yelai's arm on his lower back.

Feeling the soft touch from his palm, Li Yelai's heart tightened.

No, the fact that the Little Mad King is doing this means that someone is spying on this place!
She cannot do anything that would reveal her identity, and at the same time, she is preventing Li Yelai from doing anything that would reveal his identity.

Therefore, she continues to play the role of God's chosen personal maid.

But knowing this was enough for Li Ye. Damn it!

It's one thing for Moya to be spying on me, but surely it's not an outsider spying on me from inside the Blood God faction's headquarters?
Li Yelai stopped the Little Mad King's actions and said coldly, "Still following? It seems I was too lenient, making you forget the price of spying on a chosen one!"

His voice was cold and echoed in the virtual realm.

This caused the chosen servants living nearby to change their expressions; had the chosen one been spied on?
Damn it, how outrageous!

Almost the next second, He Liu, wielding a long axe, rushed out of the room a dozen meters away.

Even faster than him was the demon general Bai Ya, who rushed to Li Yelai's door with double maces in hand.

"My lord!" Bai Ya called out in a low voice from outside the door, "Please come out."

The remaining servants and followers took up arms and gathered outside Li Yelai's room.

Clearly, those who were secretly watching had not expected that Li Yelai, with his four senses, would be able to discover him.

Instinctively, I wanted to retreat.

But Li Yelai's cold voice rang out again: "Come out! Otherwise, I will execute Jiang Yong! And I will make Zhu Tu give me an explanation!"

Even a top-tier assassin like Little Mad King would find it difficult to infiltrate the headquarters. Forget infiltrating, the mazes alone could easily confuse outsiders.

Those who can spy on the Chosen Ones at headquarters must be insiders, namely Jiang Yong's people, or rather, people from the Chosen Ones who are responsible for extermination.

Even if he wasn't, Li Yelai could still execute Jiang Yong, who was the head of security for this headquarters. He couldn't escape punishment.

Upon hearing this, many more people's expressions changed.

"My lord, please calm down!" Jiang Yong's voice came quickly from within the virtual realm: "I will give you an explanation!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? Let Zhu Tu come and talk to me!" Li Yelai sneered.

Only those chosen by God are equals; no matter how strong a demon general is, they are not a chosen one. It's one thing if they don't command you normally, but to offend a chosen one is to slap the Blood God in the face!

Although the Blood God is magnanimous and might not care, no one dares to offend him like this.

"Those are bodyguards prepared for you, there to protect you in secret. They didn't mean to ambush you."

However, a voice interrupted his excuses.

"I will bear witness, I will shoulder the burden."

As Li Yelai's calm voice rang out, a storm raged within the virtual realm.

Jiang Yong's face turned pale with fright. Emperor Yun actually wanted divine favor, which would attract the power of the Blood God.

"Lord Emperor Yun!"

A figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, kneeling on one knee, covered in cold sweat: "I will take full responsibility for all the crimes!"

That was a Netherworld Path psychic with six senses.

At the same time, he is also a demon general who slays and slaughters!

"My lord, please spare his life! He has rendered great service to the church!" Jiang Yong, who had rushed over, saw Li Yelai raising the black and gold dragon-patterned halberd from afar and cried out in terror, "I am willing to relinquish command of the Fifth Legion, I only beg you, my lord, to spare his life!"
