Chapter 318 Coming to Settle Feuds
The agent for the champion team?

Is this guy the champion captain?
This caused surprise to show in Nightfall Mountain Lord's eyes. Although it was imprisoned here, it was still able to obtain some information from the outside world through official channels.

I am well aware of the prestige of the championship team. This guy was able to become a captain at the fifth level of awakening. Even if he is not the divine son of the Jing family, his talent should not be underestimated!
As for the Celestial Palace, it is no longer a secret.

The three border cities and the lava mine city in the rear will all send official forces into the Celestial Palace to conquer it.

This also attracted many outsiders, even people from the distant Kunlun Giant City.

The mountain king sensed the aura of an unfamiliar overlord more than once.

These are all human forces that intend to get a share of the pie within the Celestial Palace.

Li Yelai asked, "You have such a deep connection with the Jing family, you must know something about the Immortal Palace, right?"

“That’s natural. Your Jing family members have taken my avatar into the Immortal Palace before. So, I know some of the dangers there,” said Lord Nightfall Mountain.

Its core ability is to create clones. As long as the clones' self-awareness is not erased, it can learn about what the clones experienced after the clones die.

When the Jing family conquered the Immortal Palace, it was captured and split into many clones, which became the summoning objects of the Jing family's Myriad Paths Psionicists.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the clones, the self-awareness of those mountain lord clones was preserved.

But they also became pioneers.

When it was destroyed, the main body also obtained some information about the Celestial Palace.

Some clones lost control of their bodies while passing through a swamp and were swallowed up by the swamp.

Some of the clones saw a golden pea, but before they could get close, the golden pea transformed into human form and punched the tiger's head to pieces.

Some clones were ordered to keep watch at night, but in the middle of the night they saw swarms of flying insects rushing towards them, and the clones lost contact with the Jing family team.

The Celestial Palace is far too dangerous. Unexpected dangers lurk in every area.

The Jing family has explicitly stated this point and has also released some information to the authorities.

As for the deeper areas of the Celestial Palace, the authorities will have to figure that out themselves.

The Celestial Palace is a place where threats and opportunities coexist. If you want to come in and get good stuff, you'd better think it through first.

This wave has really made the Jing family a fortune, in addition to the official support of Border City No. 3, with whom they have already reached a cooperation agreement.

Other families who want to enter the Celestial Palace must make a deal with the Jing family to obtain information and the qualification to enter the Celestial Palace.

Of course, the authorities who had the intelligence also profited from this.

However, the Jing family possesses crucial intelligence.

Even though many people have entered the Celestial Palace and there are more competitors, they still have advantages.

Especially in a special terrain like the Celestial Palace, it's easy to get killed on first meeting.

Just like the returnees that Li Yelai once encountered.

If they hadn't received prior intelligence and infiltrated the Ghost Realm, they wouldn't have been able to find such a being, let alone eliminate it.

The most likely outcome is that the heavy cavalry, as the 'brides,' will vanish into thin air before everyone's eyes, taken away without any resistance. They won't even see the enemy.

It is said that new ghosts and monsters have recently appeared in the giant city.

One night, while processing tasks, an operator suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

It is a name, not a code.

This made the handler turn around subconsciously, and he saw a pale-skinned figure dressed in white.

Its body was shriveled, but its frame was large, like a clothesline with a garment hanging on it.

The instant the processor turned his head, the 'person' exhaled a breath, as if extinguishing a candle, making the processor appear ten years older in an instant.

This is actually the ghost's ability; it can only know the target's real name and, after calling out to them, makes the target turn around.

He can then extinguish the 'lights' on the top of the target's head and the sides of his shoulders.

According to psychics, these three lamps are the embodiment of human life force in the eyes of spirits. If any one of them is extinguished, the person will fall seriously ill.

If all three lamps go out, then there is nothing that can be done.

This is also known as the folk legend of "Ghost Blows Out the Light." If an ordinary person were to encounter it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, for some people with strong vitality, the flames burn even brighter and cannot be extinguished.

The handler was caught off guard and almost got taken away in one move.

Fortunately, as a third-level psychic, the processor's vitality far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he was protected by a psychic barrier.

After being affected, I only felt that I had aged a lot and my body had suddenly become weak. But the body of the Ghost Blowing the Lamp had become much fuller.

But the handler reacted quickly, realizing that he couldn't confront the Ghost of Blowing Out the Lamp directly.

So he immediately turned his back to the ghost. No matter how the ghost moved, he insisted on keeping his back to him.

Finally, he killed the monster with an elbow strike, a back kick, and a heavy shoulder strike.

In reality, that kind of "lamp-blowing ghost" is quite weak; in a direct confrontation, he would be far inferior to him.

But he still almost died.

This is the first kill; if he reacts even slightly slower, all his life force will be drained away.

In fact, the enemies who fought Li Yelai all had elements of killing each other on their first meeting, to varying degrees.

How could they have imagined that a single path could also have other paths? How could they have so many trump cards?

There are many strong individuals here; if a real fight breaks out, Li Yelai will have to put in some effort.

But because of the terrifying curse on the doll's hair, they had little chance of doing anything to counter it and were thus repelled.

Therefore, intelligence is very important.

The mountain lord who had entered the celestial palace was, in fact, a necessary choice.

"According to your logic, are you suggesting that I create another clone that retains its own consciousness?" Nightfall Mountain Lord narrowed his eyes.

“Indeed, Lord Mountain Lord’s clone is powerful, but because it has lost its rationality, it can only fight with its physical body. It has no experience or other abilities, and its combat power has declined significantly.” Li Yelai said, “Of course, I am able to survive until now thanks to your clone.”

"If you trust me, I naturally won't have any objections," the Mountain Lord roared in response. It wouldn't dare to go to the Immortal Palace or follow Li Ye here on its own.

The former is too damn dangerous, and its main body has combat power close to that of an overlord. It might be blasted to death after entering the Celestial Palace.

As for the latter, don't be ridiculous! None of the clones it gave to Night General survived!
It's hard to imagine what danger Ye Jiang encountered that caused his clone, who was a level above him, to die in battle.

How could I dare go there in my true form? Aren't I afraid of getting killed?
There really are people like this in the world, with extremely bad luck, always encountering danger. But they manage to survive through their own combat strength and tactics. However, their teammates are another story; it's best not to take the risk. While its true form wouldn't dare go, sending a clone wouldn't be a problem. As for its own consciousness, as long as this human can suppress it and withstand the risks, it naturally won't care.

After all, once the clone retains its own consciousness, it can not only use some abilities, but also has experienced combat skills.

It would certainly be an aid in combat power, but it is, after all, a supernatural being. If it were to be bewitched by the clone, or anything else, it's hard to say.
“If you agree, then let’s create a clone with the Sixth Sense,” Li Ye said.

"Six Senses?" Mountain Lord growled, seemingly sneering. "Are you sure? Can you really suppress a Six Senses clone with its own consciousness?"

“It’s alright.” Li Yelai nodded. “I’ve killed Liu Jue before. And you know what the price would be.”

Killed a Sixth Awakened Being? That's incredibly arrogant!

But to become a champion's agent, one must have some assets, and Shan Jun has no doubt about that.

Moreover, it had long since lost all options. If its clone went out of control and injured Li Yelai, its main body would likely be turned into a psionic weapon, or perhaps even dismembered alive.
"Look at what you're saying. Of course I know. I also want to see the scenery outside." The Mountain King is no longer the regional overlord who once roamed the forbidden zone. Years of imprisonment have long since dulled its fighting spirit.

First he was captured by the Jing family, then kidnapped by the church, and finally ended up in Border City No. 3. Alas, what a miserable life.
Well, it's not bad to see the scenery outside through a clone.

Subsequently, with the help of official personnel, the Spirit-Slaying Armor on Shan Jun's body was temporarily removed.

Within the virtual realm, a projection of a black tiger, as majestic as a mountain, suddenly appeared, allowing the Nightfall Mountain Lord's overlord-level combat power to be briefly revived!
But it carefully flicked its tail, creating a dark shadow.

It did consider escaping, but it was also well aware that if it made any move, the official overlord and the countermeasures that had already been prepared would tear it to pieces.

Therefore, after it split into two, it was bound again without any resistance, and the Spirit-Slaying Armor pierced its body. Its powerful spiritual energy was suppressed. It once again became a secluded tiger.

The black shadow it flung out transformed into a giant black tiger with a shoulder height of five meters and a body length of over twelve meters!

Like a colossal beast breaking free from the underworld, its ferocious appearance was chilling. Every hair seemed to contain boundless power. Its tiger-like eyes blazed with fierce light, and a ghostly blue flame burned within them.

Its fangs are sharp and pointed, gleaming with a chilling light, and its claws are long and powerful.

The tiger was strong and muscular, and every breath it took seemed to stir up the surrounding air, radiating a strong sense of oppression.

The staff outside the containment room broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Yelai approached and examined Black Tiger, nodding with satisfaction.

"Great, it feels completely different, and the eyes even have special effects that look cool."

As Li Yelai approached, the four pupils of the Mountain Lord's clone contracted. The ghostly blue flames also paused.

As a superhuman being, its instincts warned it that the human in front of it was dangerous.

Moreover, it wasn't entirely a danger in terms of combat strength, but rather a more bizarre and elusive sense of danger.
The Mountain Lord and his clone were puzzled. Li Yelai, on the other hand, took out his two spiritual weapons from the Well of Souls: the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd and the Blood Cloud Blade.

"You choose one," Li Ye said.

The mountain king exclaimed in surprise, "This is what you humans call A-grade weaponry? You, a mere fifth-level sage, have two of these?"

It's no wonder it was surprised; even a large family wouldn't be this extravagant!
Not to mention, both of these A-grade psionic weapons were crafted by master artisans and are made with superb craftsmanship.

However, once the armor is completed, Li Yelai will actually possess three A-grade weapons.

Everyone says that Lava Mine City is rich and resourceful, and its soldiers are all pampered young masters.

Even they aren't as wealthy as Li Ye.

After that, the title of "young master soldier" will probably be attached to Li Yelai.
"It's just a matter of encountering some opportunities," Li Yelai replied. "You choose one."

"You're quite generous," the mountain lord nodded, sniffing the air.

It then transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the blood cloud of the ring-pommel sword. It quite liked the bloody scent emanating from the cloud. Perhaps it could even sneak a taste when Li Ye came to use the blood cloud to kill people in the future.

After the Mountain Lord's clone entered the Blood Cloud.

Li Ye then met the person in charge here, a team leader from headquarters.

At the same time, it is also one of the three overlords of the giant city, Changqing.

He was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a white lab coat.

He was more like a scholar than a human overlord.

He is said to be a university physics teacher.

"Captain Changqing."

“Night General, you need to keep an eye on it. Once it gains self-awareness, it will become very cunning,” Chang Qing warned. “You don’t need to worry while it’s asleep, but once it’s awakened, if you sense that it’s out of control, you must eliminate it immediately! Otherwise, a superhuman creature with six senses will cause a lot of disasters in the giant city.”

"Yes, I will handle it properly." Li Yelai nodded.

"Also, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Jing Lin of the Jing family," Chang Qing said. "Generally speaking, Jucheng will not interfere in internal conflicts among spiritual energy families. You should be careful about your stance."

This was indeed a well-intentioned warning; he was afraid that Li Yelai would get involved in unnecessary trouble.

The internal strife within the Jing family is ultimately a matter between the family and the city. It's really not something Jucheng can easily interfere with.

Otherwise, it will have the opposite effect.

Moreover, this will also cause those in power to have a negative view of Li Yelai.

“Of course, if they become too presumptuous or offensive, or if they have other grudges against you, you don’t need to hold back. You have the backing of the Great City. And you now represent the Champion Team.” Chang Qing glanced at Shan Jun. He wasn’t deliberately eavesdropping, but he had indeed guessed some possibilities.

"Yes, I know. Don't worry." Li Yelai nodded with a smile.

resentment?
There is indeed a grudge between them.
In fact, Jin Cuihua, the mother, did not leave any information about the Jing family.

She never mentioned her family home to her children, only saying that she had been lost a long time ago.

It seems she has no intention of having any further contact with the Jing family.

If that's the case, then Li Yelai is fine.

But their biggest mistake was setting their sights on Li Yunyan!
This feud has become a huge one!

Afterwards, Li Yelai, along with the Mountain Lord clone, drove back to the East City branch.

Upon entering the branch office, he learned from a clerical staff member that someone had come looking for him and had waited there for quite some time before leaving.

Li Yelai initially thought it was Jing Lin, since they had made plans to meet at his place for a meal.

It turned out that after asking around, they learned it was Ye Han.

"He came to visit the Captain and the Puppet Captain, but the Puppet Captain wasn't at the branch. Then, somehow he found out that your sister, Hyoga, was being plagued by a curse, and said he could help," a Team One handler said. "But Hyoga said she didn't have time and declined. They just left."

"He seems to be trying to befriend you, Captain."

Li Yelai shook his head slightly, expressionless.

This isn't a visit to make friends.
This guy's here to make an enemy!
