Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The care from the chosen ones of the fallen emperor deeply moved the officers of the Fifth Legion and their chosen servants.

Even though the chosen one was the assassination target of this incident, he comforted himself instead.

Even if the servants are physically disabled, they are not abandoned. In fact, they become God's chosen guards despite their disabilities, which is a privilege second only to the Demon General!

This touched them deeply.

This isn't really a big deal, but unfortunately the other chosen ones are just too inhumane.

If a servant or guard of the Red Wrath God becomes disabled, they will be immediately demoted or transferred, which is considered a good outcome.

The Bloodthirsty Goddess is truly terrifying; she has tormented and killed far too many of her servants and guards!

Now, for a chosen one to make such a sentimental and righteous gesture is incredibly damaging to the Blood God faction!
Bai Ya, as a demon general, idolizes Li Yelai to an extreme degree.

At this point, they would probably be happy to be cannon fodder.

Of course, they had no idea that the culprit behind all of this was none other than their revered Emperor Yun.
Li Yelai reassured them while conveying the suspicions surrounding Black Source City. He told them to focus on recovering from their injuries.

He really needs a Chaos team that is completely loyal to him. A team that is completely loyal to him can help him do a lot of things.

For example, let them test the waters of the creatures in the forbidden zone. Hey, the scene would be absolutely amazing!
Black Source City, there are too many scumbags behind Black Source City!
Afterwards, Li Yelai left the rescue fortress.

He prepared to return to his room to analyze his current situation with Little Mad King and sort out his current resources.

As a result, after walking for only a short while, Li Yelai saw the volcano in the distance still emitting green light and was suddenly shocked.

Green lava erupted again, but its power was not as terrifying as before.

But there were also hundreds of strange green magma streaks that drew green meteors in the air and crashed into various locations of the headquarters within a few kilometers.

This time, it did not cause any secondary damage to the headquarters.

Because there were hardly any living people left in that area.

The rescue teams were all psionicists, making it easier for them to avoid these meteors.

But soon, Li Yelai heard the news that the old demon general had been seriously injured again and escaped from the volcano.

It is said that he was injured when he was deep inside the volcano during an eruption.

This made Li Yelai feel a little strange.

A powerful overlord shouldn't have any problem getting wet in lava, so how did he get injured again?
Although it was strange, Li Yelai still felt a bit schadenfreude.

But his schadenfreude didn't last long, just as he was passing by an empty mountain path.

Little Mad King's voice rang in his ear: "Teammate, I need help."

His voice was weak and painful, and at the same time, Li Yelai could feel his wrist being gripped.

This caused Li Yelai's expression to change slightly, and he quickly walked towards the fortress where he lived.

The mountain fortress where the Chosen Ones resided was far from the battlefield and thus did not suffer much damage.

At this moment, in the quiet room.

The girl in front of Li Yelai had taken off her upper body clothing, turned her back to him, and revealed her fair and curvaceous back.

Li Yelai had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; his mind was entirely focused on how to carefully and effectively remove the black pebbles embedded in the girl's skin. His voice was low and tense: "Does it hurt?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Little Mad King's forehead. After catching his breath slightly, he replied, "Yes, a little. Let's continue."

Li Yelai took a deep breath and replied, "Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."

He placed one hand on the girl's fair shoulder.

With his other hand, he slowly pulled out a black pebble that had been embedded in the girl's back.

Bright red blood flowed from the wound, standing out starkly against the pale skin.

Li Yelai examined the wound and, after confirming that there were no remaining stones inside, quickly disinfected and bandaged it to stop the bleeding.

"Use the Jing family's medicine; it will help you recover faster." Li Yelai took a few steps back and looked away.

If it weren't for treating his wounds, he wouldn't have been able to bear seeing the current Little Mad King.

“The Jing family’s potion suppresses spiritual energy for a short time, which is too dangerous for us stalkers. I’ll just use the official potion.” Little Mad King put on his clothes and replied, “With my physical strength and the potion, I’ll recover in no time.”

Even so, her face was still somewhat pale, and there was a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead.

Li Yelai then looked at the black stone spike.

The stone spikes were still stained with blood, and as Li Yelai touched them, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy barrier on his palm suddenly disappear.

“This is... anti-psychic energy. No wonder it pierced through your psychic barrier.” Li Yelai’s expression shifted slightly. “It was still too risky. You shouldn’t have gone to the volcano to investigate. You should at least have discussed it with me.”

He was well aware of this feeling; every time he saw the nun, he felt his spiritual energy being suppressed—a miracle of humanity.

For psionicists, such miracles are extremely dangerous.

"Hmm, it should be one of the defensive measures from the treasure vault. It contains bone powder from the Soul-Slaying Ones." The Little Mad King revealed a smile: "But in this way, the treasure vault is completely destroyed, leaving no clues."

After parting ways with Li Yelai, Little Mad King secretly approached the volcano.

Following behind that old demon general, we entered the volcano.

She must prevent the treasure vault from being found by the old demon general.

Fortunately, the treasure vault was completely destroyed. The entire vault was crushed, and the old demon general only found a few forbidden items in the wreckage.

The volcanic eruption that just occurred was actually caused by something inside the treasure vault reacting with the green magma.

This caused the wreckage of the treasure vault to explode again, with large amounts of rubble mixed with bone powder from the Soulbreakers bursting open.

It severely injured the already seriously wounded old demon general, and even the little mad king hiding behind him was injured.

This is actually very dangerous. The Little Mad King's spiritual energy has been suppressed by the Soul-Slaying Bone Powder, making him easy for the church to discover.

Fortunately, the various defensive facilities inside the headquarters were rendered ineffective by the volcanic eruption, which allowed her to find Li Yelai without anyone noticing.

But it still left Li Ye feeling a lingering fear.

“If this happens again, you must discuss it with me. Otherwise, please return to the Great City.” Li Yelai frowned, his tone somewhat harsh. “I’m sorry, but I at least need to confirm whether the treasure vault has been destroyed,” the Little Mad King said softly. “I hope you can understand.”

Li Yelai didn't press the matter further, but instead told him about the information he had obtained.

First, there were losses at headquarters: two demon generals were killed, one was seriously wounded, and the overlord-level old demon general was also seriously wounded. Three of the seven legions were missing.
And the supplies in his storage space.

"What a pity. If I had known earlier that the natural disaster was a volcanic eruption, I should have taken more forbidden items with me," Li Yelai said with some regret.

Judging from the current situation, even if the headquarters doesn't find those forbidden items afterward, they will only assume that they sank into the lava.

"Also, there's the medicine garden. The treasure vault stores extraordinary materials, mysterious substances, and forbidden items. But spiritual fruits and plants are stored in the medicine garden. Otherwise, we could have taken even more spiritual fruits this time. If there were any that could extend lifespan, that would be even better," Li Yelai said.

Little Mad King shook his head slightly: "Then you are too greedy. This harvest is already enough. As for the spirit fruit, according to the information shared with you by the church, the headquarters does not have any spirit fruits that can prolong life."

However, there are other spiritual fruits with good effects. For example, the Sand Tang Fruit grants the ability to breathe underwater, and the Danmu Fruit provides a certain degree of fire resistance.
As the chosen one, you could rightfully claim some of these. But now that the treasury is destroyed, you, as the chosen one, can only wander around the orchard.

"If the orchards weren't so scattered, I'd really like to find a chance to take all of them, land and all," Li Yelai clicked his tongue. "What a pity. If a situation like today were to occur again, even if they didn't suspect me, they'd think I was a jinx, even though I am."

“One unexpected event is enough. Any more would be bad,” Little Mad King said. “What about after that? Now that the headquarters has suffered such an unexpected loss, can you still go to the second border city? Won’t Jiang Yong and the others stop you?”

“Naturally, we must respond to Burning Howl’s plea for help,” Li Yelai said. “An event that would prompt the Chosen One to request assistance must be a major event, and the headquarters cannot afford to delay.”

"Didn't Fenxiao tell you the objective of this operation?" Little Mad King asked, frowning. "He didn't even reveal a single detail of the plan to you?"

"Not yet. He seems worried that there might be spies exposed at headquarters, so he only invited me to lead a legion to assist him. We'll talk to him after we meet." Li Yelai grinned. "He's quite cautious."

Li Yelai informed headquarters of the news that Fenxiao had invited the chosen ones to the second border city.

However, since it was a matter for the second border city, the third border city did not dare to directly disclose this information.

Fenxiao was worried that there were spies in the headquarters, and Jucheng was also worried that there were spies in his own territory.

If this were told to the second border city and the undercover agents found out, it would be troublesome. It would be tantamount to exposing the undercover agents here.

"It's hard to say. Since he's being so cautious, he might already suspect there's a mole in the headquarters' ranks," Little Mad King analyzed. "This could be a sting operation."

"Fishing?" Li Yelai asked.

"That's right. Currently, he's only communicating with you, and the deceased Crimson Wrath Chosen and Blood Drink Chosen. He's planning some kind of operation in Border City Two." The Little Mad King paused and said, "If Border City Two takes precautions, he can confirm that there are spies among the three of you Chosen. Although he probably won't suspect you, it's still a problem. But don't worry too much. What I can guess, the think tank of the Great City can also guess. They will make reasonable preparations."

“Indeed, I have enough confidence in the authorities. But the second border city is a bit troublesome.” Li Yelai nodded slightly and said, “Well then, now I’m going to enter the Ark to report today’s intelligence to headquarters and let them know I’m safe.”

"Yes, I will protect you." Little Mad King nodded in agreement.

Li Yelai changed out of his armor, put on a suit, and donned his signature bronze mask.

Sitting on the sofa, I channeled my psionic energy into the Ark ticket.

Soon, as the light appeared and disappeared, he arrived inside the Ark Hall.

Unlike before, he appeared in the fourth ring road area.

“Captain,” Li Ye looked at the mural in the distance and, seeing that it had not changed, said, “Please help me contact Camellia.”

"Yes." The captain's voice came from deep within.

Less than a minute later, a beam of light appeared, and Jing Lin walked out from it.

The authorities knew in advance when Li Yelai would act, so Jing Lin had already made preparations.

They were already dressed in their armor and waiting to be summoned.

"Hey, Copper Face." Jing Lin greeted him, sat down in the seat next to Li Yelai, and said, "Did you bring what I asked for?"

The two knew exactly what was going on, so they didn't beat around the bush and started the transaction directly.

Then, a spatial fluctuation flashed in Li Yelai's hand, and a black substance stored in a transparent glass bottle appeared in his hand.

That was one of the hundreds of mysterious substances he had just 'picked up'.

"The Six Senses Mysterious Substance of the Netherworld Path." Li Yelai handed the item to Jing Lin and asked, "Where is what I need?"

Jing Lin was startled, his scalp tingling instantly. He thought to himself, "Are you out of your mind?"
We're just exchanging information. If it weren't for the captain being wary, we could have traded information directly.

The items being traded are actually just for hiding some information. What kind of junk can't you use? Why not bring out some Six Senses Mystic Material?

What, you think you're so great just because you're God's Chosen? The people at headquarters aren't blind, they wouldn't let you squander money like this.
Jing Lin mentally cursed, but took the mysterious substance in his hand. He said, "It's still being prepared, it'll be ready soon. I'll bring it to you in a bit. Wait a moment."

After saying this, he left the ark.

In reality, he was going to hand over the intelligence hidden in the glass bottle to the authorities, who would then devise a strategy to hide new intelligence in the traded items and bring it to Li Yelai.

On the other side. Inside a safe house in Border City No. 3.

When Yin Huo saw the mysterious substance in Jing Lin's hand, his scalp tingled.

He couldn't believe how extravagant Li Yelai had become, using six-sense materials to hide intelligence.

However, they quickly found the coded message in the glass bottle, pieced together the information, and delivered it to headquarters as fast as possible.

Meanwhile, in the conference room at headquarters, several senior executives stared in disbelief at the intelligence report before them.

When everyone saw Li Yelai's long list of supplies, their scalps tingled!
Wait, wasn't your plan to cripple the Qinling headquarters? Why are you robbing them instead?
The sheer volume of supplies left the senior executives dazzled.

A spy planted in the enemy's stronghold, causing unrest, and taking the opportunity to plunder a large amount of resources. They even built a volcano that wiped out three of the enemy's legions? And afterwards, the enemy still has to appease you?

Isn't this world crazy?

The lucky draw wheel has become a top-tier forbidden item in your hands, hasn't it?

With so much material, why don't you just give up being a mole and come back to the position of Minister of Equipment?

The higher-ups were somewhat bewildered.

Even the old Mad King was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Blood God is truly blessed to have such a chosen one!"

"Contact Moonshadow as quickly as possible and make him pin the blame on Black Source City!" (End of Chapter)
