Will Mo Chen, the overlord of the Ma family on the border, be promoted to the Supreme level?

Everyone's expressions changed.

Li Yelai's heart tightened; the importance of this intelligence was self-evident.

Within the border city cluster, the supreme fighting force among the four giant cities consists of two monarchs and three supreme beings.

This is humanity's highest fighting force, and also humanity's capital to resist the forbidden zone.

A single megacity cannot contend with an entire restricted area, but when the four megacity groups together, no single restricted area can conquer them. This achieves a delicate balance.

If the overlord of the Ma family were to ascend to the Supreme level, humanity's high-end combat power would be enhanced once again.

This is a great thing for the giant city!

However, it is also a highly confidential piece of information.

Neither the forbidden zone nor the church wants to see a human supreme being emerge.

If they obtain intelligence, they will definitely take action and intervene.

This will be top secret intelligence to ensure the promotion is not compromised.

Li Yelai had contacted headquarters three days ago.

However, this intelligence was not obtained, which means that Border City No. 3 was also unaware of it.

Perhaps out of concern for spies within Border City No. 3, Border City No. 2 did not notify Border City No. 3.

But Fenxiao was able to know this in advance.

How did this guy obtain information that even our ally, the Giant City, hadn't received?

Li Yelai's eyes flickered, but he did not speak.

Qin Zhi asked, "Fen Xiao, is your intelligence accurate? That's a Supreme Being! This kind of secret is so confidential that even the people in the Second Border City probably don't know about it. How did you find out?"

"You're right, even my undercover agents couldn't discover this. I only stumbled upon a clue by chance, obtaining information from within the Ma family." Fen Xiao laughed, "After several investigations, I finally verified the accuracy of this information. That overlord will be promoted to Supreme within half a month!"

"You're incredibly audacious!" Liu Sheng exclaimed. "As expected of the Blood God's chosen one, you actually dare to attack the Supreme Being."

“That’s too crazy, Fenxiao.” Li Yelai also spoke up: “Even if I brought an elite legion, and the few of us acted together, we still couldn’t compare to a Supreme Being. Furthermore, the Second Border City will definitely organize a large number of troops to protect him during his advancement.”

When a hegemon ascends to the Supreme level, a great upheaval will occur in the Void Realm, attracting powerful Void Realm creatures.

At the same time, it will also alert the powerful figures within the restricted area.

It can be said that information must be kept strictly confidential before a promotion. But the moment the promotion begins, there is no longer any need for secrecy.

Because it's impossible to hide.

The violent psionic energy fluctuations during the ascension will sweep across the Void Realm, alarming almost all psionicists.

The restricted area is no exception.

They would naturally not allow another supreme being to emerge among humankind, and would inevitably intervene forcefully.

However, due to differences in intelligence, they were unable to mobilize their legions in time; at most, only Supreme and Overlord-level powerhouses could launch an attack.

As for the King of the Penalty Area, there's a high probability he won't make a move.

If the King of the Forbidden Zone dares to make a move, the Old Mad King and the Amber King will either surround and kill him, or one of them will hold off the King of the Forbidden Zone while the other enters the Forbidden Zone and wreaks havoc.

Then, the war escalated completely.
The cost of taking action is too high, so monarch-level beings usually won't intervene. Unless a supreme being is promoted to monarch, the king of the forbidden zone won't appear.

At the same time, the Giant City side will also prepare defensive forces in advance to protect the advancement from interference by the arriving Supremes and Overlords.

In this situation, even if several Sixth Awakenings and a legion of 10,000 psionicists collided with it, they would only be annihilated.

What? You really think the giant city is easy to bully?
The church has a legion of psionicists, and the great city also has border guards and even more city defense troops.

And there are still twenty or thirty captain-level powerhouses. How could they not kill a few of you sixth-level awakening experts?

A direct confrontation offers no chance of victory; it would only result in certain death.

"Of course I know, Your Excellency Emperor Yun."

After drinking a glass of red wine, Fen Xiao laughed and said, "Inside Border City No. 2, besides that Mo Chen Overlord, there is also a Supreme Being, as well as five Overlord-level experts."

"When Mo Chen Overlord advances, some of them will definitely be guarding his vicinity. It is estimated that there will also be organized border guards."

"With our strength, we are not yet qualified to confront them head-on."

"Unless a certain king of the penalty area intervenes, who can say they can guarantee a victory against the Supreme?"

"Since it's impossible," Liu Sheng asked, frowning in confusion.

Li Yelai and Qin Zhi's expressions changed; they understood Fen Xiao's unspoken meaning.

When Mo Chen, the Overlord, ascends to the Supreme Realm, the Forbidden Zones will inevitably dispatch powerful figures to attempt an interception. It's even possible that all three Forbidden Zones will send powerful individuals.

The defensive forces protecting Mo Chen's advancement will certainly not be small.

This will drain a lot of the giant city's fighting strength.

That was the period of weakness for the giant city.

Having weathered that period of weakness, Border City No. 2 became a powerful megacity with two supreme beings.

But the followers of Chaos will not let them get through their period of weakness so easily.

"Are you planning to take action against the second border city when Mo Chen is promoted and the city's defenses are weakened?" Li Yelai asked.

"You did notice." Fen Xiao nodded slightly. "Indeed, that is my plan. It is also our grand feast of slaughter to present to our lord!"

"Then how can you ensure that other major cities won't come to your aid?" Li Yelai asked. "When a human supreme being advances, the other major cities will definitely send powerful individuals to assist, so there might not be a so-called period of weakness."

"You don't need to worry about that. You and your legion will surely reap a satisfying harvest of killings," Fen Xiao laughed, without revealing his detailed plan, but Li Ye could guess some of it.

That damned beast Qin possesses a Class B forbidden item, the Song of Extinction!

If this forbidden substance is activated and not quickly suppressed, it will distort everyone within its range.

And through the psionic energy generated during the distortion, a rift leading to the void was torn open.

A powerful being from the illusory realm will descend into the physical world through the rift. That will be the so-called final chapter of extinction.

This must be part of this guy's plan.

However, it's unclear at what stage, or how, they will avoid being suppressed.

At the same time, what made Li Yelai uneasy was how Fen Xiao could be so certain that the aid from the giant city would not ruin his plans.

What? If the second border city sends out a distress call, those who come to its aid will undoubtedly be powerful figures, possibly even the champion Yang Chen. Do they really have the ability to stop these powerful individuals?
Li Yelai was thinking quickly, but Fen Xiao stopped mentioning the plan and instead frequently raised his glass to drink with everyone.

After the meal.

Fen Xiao then bid farewell to Li Yelai, saying that he had some matters to attend to and that the manor was at Li Yelai's disposal, before leaving immediately.

Qin Shang stepped forward and bowed to Li Yelai, saying, "Your Excellency Emperor Yun, I have long admired you. I hope that this time, we can cooperate happily."

"Hmm, I hope so," Li Yelai replied calmly. "As for you, Qin Zhi, as a wanted criminal in Giant City, you still dare to operate within its borders. You'd better be careful. If the plan fails because of you, you'll probably only be able to repent under the Crimson Throne."

That's a very impolite statement.

The subtext is: if you dare to disrupt the plan, I will kill you and offer your head to the Blood God!
But the demon general Baiya, the craftsman Gongsun, and others felt that there was no problem with this.

Even if we are allies, the Chosen Ones of the Fallen Emperor are infinitely more noble than an actor like you. What's wrong with saying a few words to you?

What? Still not convinced?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency Emperor Yun." Qin Zhi still had a smile on his face. "But I am able to enter the giant city because I have sufficient resources."

Liu Sheng looked at Li Yelai and smiled, "Lord Di Yun, there's no need to be hostile towards us. Although we are not believers, we have cooperated with your faction many times. Moreover, if you wish to communicate with other factions, I can also assist you."

Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her bright red lips were slightly parted, and every word and action exuded charm.

Li Yelai raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? You've had connections with other factions?"

"Of course, Your Excellency Emperor. Wandering in the wilderness, it's inevitable to come into contact with various factions," Qin Zhi replied. "If you need anything, just mention it."

Will other factions be Ark voters?
Li Yelai pondered for a moment, but replied aloud, "I've got it. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Afterwards, Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng bid farewell and left with their men.

After they got into the van, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

"This Emperor of Fallen Heaven," Qin Zhi said softly, "seemed to show a fleeting hostility the moment he saw us."

“That’s normal. The Blood God’s chosen ones are hostile towards us heretics,” Liu Sheng replied. “However, Emperor Yan does seem vaguely familiar. Do you think he might be one of the people on the Ark?”

After recalling for a moment, Qin Zhi shook his head and said, "The people inside the ark are all disguised, so it's hard to tell them apart. However, his maid is someone I'm a little concerned about."

"A maid?" Liu Sheng looked at Qin Zhi, thought for a moment, and replied, "She is indeed a beautiful woman. I envy her long legs. Standing there, she seems to be provoking me. Hmph, she has a great figure. I really want to cut her open and see."
"What? You've taken a fancy to that maid? She's Emperor Yun's personal maid, and I've heard he dotes on her. He always takes her with him on his missions. You're probably having trouble making a move now."

"What are you talking about?" Qin Zhi chuckled, stroking Liu Sheng's slender waist. "It's precisely because that maid is so favored by the Emperor that I feel something is strange. Why would a favored maid be a virgin?"

"Are you sure?" Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not sure. She was wearing makeup, so I couldn't see clearly. I just suddenly had this suspicion," Qin Zhi replied. "It could be a misjudgment, or maybe the Emperor's essence is too high, and he really is indifferent to women? That would be such a waste."

"I almost forgot, you've been with so many women, you sure have a good eye." Liu Sheng sneered, then straddled Qin Zhi: "Now, forget about it all."

"Of course, you're the only one in my eyes." Qin Zhi chuckled as he removed the woman's clothes.

Soon, the vehicle began to shake, and a kind of panting could be heard.

Meanwhile, inside the manor.

The chosen emperor, Yan, and his maid, Hongzhuang, arrived at a luxurious room. This room had been prepared for them by the local religious followers.

The inspection revealed no eavesdropping or spying.

It seems that Fen Xiao knew the fate of the last person who spied on Li Yelai.

Li Yelai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng! The culprits behind the Fantasy Band incident!" Li Yelai whispered.

"Yes, I recognized you. I was really worried you'd explode. Luckily you held back." Little Mad King replied, straightening the blankets. "However, since you're both Ark voters, isn't there a risk of being exposed?"

“Normally, when I enter the Ark, the suit I wear incorporates some prosthetic muscles. I also deliberately alter my habits, and with the Ark's built-in blurring technology, I should be difficult to detect.” Li Yelai pondered, “Besides, I haven’t made any deals with them.”

“Then we can rest assured about that for now. At least no one will guess that you are an Ark voter,” Little Mad King replied. “But Burning Howl still hasn’t revealed the specific plan.”

"Hmm, and what really makes me uneasy is that our third border city didn't even receive this intelligence!" Li Yelai said. "Even if it's for the sake of secrecy and they dare not make it public, shouldn't Old Mad King know?"

Indeed, theoretically speaking, such a major event as being promoted to the supreme position should be discussed with the monarch.

We can't very well say that we don't even trust the old Mad King, can we?

What exactly is the Ma family on the border doing? Why are they even hiding this?
“There are too many suspicious points,” Little Mad King responded. “Moreover, Fenxiao doesn’t seem to care about the aid from other major cities. Does the Ma family intend to keep this a secret until the moment the advancement begins?”

This seems to be the only explanation!
The Ma family concealed everything, not only the restricted area but also the giant city.

The other major cities were completely unaware of the Supreme's advancement and could not provide effective assistance.

But why is that?

Worried about an undercover agent? Afraid that the movement of the giant city would attract the attention of the restricted area?

That's way too tight, isn't it?

"What was it like when the last overlord ascended to the Supreme Realm? Did the various major cities send out combat forces?" Li Yelai asked.

"It was over fifty years ago, the Void Azure Supreme of Border City No. 1. The old man single-handedly blocked the three forbidden zones, so it's not a reliable reference," Little Mad King responded.

"Never mind that, let's send this intelligence back to headquarters first." Li Yelai responded, his spatial energy flickering as he took out his suit and bronze mask.

The Little Mad King then compiled intelligence, marked it with the code of the giant city, and completely disrupted it.

Then, Li Yelai activated the Ark ticket and entered the Ark.

At the same time, two figures, one large and one small, emerged from under a truck and successfully entered the giant city.

"Plan works!" the man chuckled.

The little girl looked distressed and pointed to her torn package, the food inside long gone.

The man's laughter stopped, and he stared at the little girl in shock.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Meanwhile, a tour group from Border City No. 3 arrived in Border City No. 2.

One by one, agile men filed off the bus.

As they munched on their snacks, they inwardly complained about the equipment department's vehicles.

They were so busy loading weapons that they didn't even install shock absorbers! I'm giving them a bad review when I get back!

A little bear also got off the bus. Unlike her companions who were complaining, she was jumping around and seemed very happy.
