Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The day after discussing it with Jing Lin.

The official authorities of Giant City, as well as all the large and small psionic families within Giant City, received invitations from the Jing family.

Although all parties want to conquer the Celestial Palace, there is a high probability that some unpleasant conflicts will occur in the process.

But you can also choose to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation.

Can they be rivals or friends?

Therefore, Jing Lin did not encounter any resistance in holding the banquet, but instead gained the support of his family.

At least in this respect, holding the banquet was advantageous to the Jing family.

The Jing family also wants to maintain good relations with other families, as they possess core intelligence and already have an absolute advantage.

While other families were still exploring the Immortal Palace, they may have already achieved their goal.

If we don't let all the various factions get a share and instead try to monopolize everything, it will offend many people. It's hard to say whether some will become envious and try to harm the Jing family within the Immortal Palace.

Therefore, the Jing family promised to share some regional intelligence to help other forces gain greater benefits.

This excited many families, who began preparing for the upcoming banquet.

Li Yelai did the same, but other outside families and forces were preparing exquisite clothing and fine gifts.

He was adapting his A-grade psionic armor.

Inside the equipment testing area of ​​the East City branch, Li Yelai, dressed in black scale and gold-embroidered bright armor, was moving rapidly.

With a sway of his body, three afterimages rushed out simultaneously, transforming into rapidly moving figures.

They approached the metal block from different directions and swung their halberds almost simultaneously.

'boom! '

The three sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the halberd, sent out by the afterimage, distorted the metal block.

Then, after the attack, the three afterimages disappeared immediately.

Li Yelai walked over to the metal block from a short distance away, looking at the almost shattered piece. He nodded in satisfaction: "The Flowing Phantom Strike of the Netherworld Path is indeed powerful. The damage dealt by the afterimage, although not as strong as the main body, is still considerable. In close combat, suddenly unleashing a combo like this would be extremely dangerous."

A perfectly good close-quarters duel can suddenly be disrupted by three or more afterimages that launch attacks from different directions, turning the enemy into mincemeat if they're not careful.

"Actually, there are many other uses for the Phantom Strike." A graceful and tall figure appeared beside Li Yelai and said calmly, "If you can grasp the rhythm of the continuous appearance of afterimages, you can achieve continuous attacks."

For example, if you and your opponent exert force simultaneously, after your weapons collide, his force dissipates, and before he can exert force again, your afterimage has already unleashed a slash, quickly establishing a suppressive effect.

This girl, of course, is Little Mad King.

After Li Ye returned to Jucheng, the two only met once, at the apartment.

The two are teammates who have shared joys and sorrows and are trustworthy to rely on each other.

However, Little Mad King has a rather aloof personality and rarely communicates or chats with Li Ye when he is not actively engaged in daily activities.

She was clearly watching the ceremony where Li Yelai donned his armor last time, but she didn't greet him.

After all, she had never had any friends.
I don't know, and I'm not used to, how to get along with friends.

This time, it was learned that Li Yelai's A-grade psionic armor had been completed, and its ability was the Flowing Phantom Strike, which she had perfectly mastered.

She just came over to teach and guide Li Yelai on the techniques. It was a kind of communication with a friend. It really went to a lot of trouble for her.
As she spoke, she picked up a longsword and slashed directly at the metal cube.

The longsword slashed down, leaving behind a series of afterimages in mid-air. Each afterimage followed the longsword's descent with the same angle and force.

It was clearly just one sword strike, but it felt as if a dozen people had launched a continuous attack, directly severing the metal cube in two.

Li Yelai couldn't help but praise, "It's fortunate you're one of us, otherwise, the pressure would be too great to encounter an expert like you."

He could see the danger of this move; it was more sophisticated than leaving a shadow behind and attacking from different angles.

It's like launching multiple attacks from the same spot in an instant. The enemy might be able to block the first or second attack, but the continuous barrage of attacks afterward will prevent them from even having a chance to swing their blade a second time.

Not to mention that the Little Mad King will continue to attack, creating even more afterimages.
Each direct attack is followed by a dozen or so follow-up attacks. How can you fight like this?

No wonder, that human traitor Feixue in the second border city is clearly a sword master with terrifying swordsmanship.

She was a terrifying being who could slay a dragon without taking damage using only her swordsmanship. In terms of swordsmanship alone, she was among the top-tier in the three border cities.

Even Little Mad King admitted that he was not as skilled in swordsmanship as Fei Xue, and that she would be defeated quickly if she did not use her abilities.

However, in the end, Feixue was still suppressed in their fight.

That wasn't because Feixue was just a name without substance; it was because the Little Mad King had developed his abilities to the extreme.

"This is a skill concept; you'll need to study it further on your own." The Little Mad King remained indifferent, sheathing his longsword in the Well of Souls. He then asked, "What are you planning to do? Or are you going to kill someone?"

"How did you figure that out? Was it that obvious?" Li Yelai was taken aback. He hadn't told anyone about Ye Han. It should only be Jing Lin and himself who knew.

“Last night, you purchased ten tons of extraordinary biological blood from headquarters. This blood is usually used as fertilizer, or even just as waste. So, almost no one would buy blood.”

But you are different; two of your abilities and weapons require blood.

You're procuring so much blood so you can unleash your strongest fighting power at any moment. If this is to deal with the Celestial Palace, it's a bit too hasty.

Besides, the Celestial Palace is home to many extraordinary creatures. You can easily obtain enough blood by killing a few low-level ones once you enter. Therefore, I believe you intend to use this blood within the Great City.”

Little Mad King said, "And this morning, you went to the prison again. After you left, many criminal psionicists became listless."

"It should be the Divine Dragon Soul, right? You extracted their spiritual power to forge the Divine Spirit Weapon."

"Including the A-grade psionic armor completed today, I believe you intend to make your move within the giant city."

The Little Mad King's expression remained indifferent, but his analysis was quite reasonable.

To outsiders, Li Yelai's actions, though strange, wouldn't raise many questions. But Little Mad King, familiar with Li Yelai's abilities, guessed that he intended to wage a bloody battle, and within the giant city no less.

"Who is it that could make you prepare so many trump cards?" Little Mad King asked. "If the other party truly deserves to die, I'll assassinate him for you."

Li Yelai fell silent.

To be honest, Li Yelai didn't want Little Mad King to know about Ye Han.

The Little Mad King is also tormented by the curse and has become numb to it.

She no longer even cares about the difference between men and women.

As a result, while infiltrating the church, Li Yelai witnessed some scenes he shouldn't have seen.

After being nagged by Li Ye for a long time, she finally made some corrections.

If she were to come into contact with someone like Ye Han who could suppress curses, given her apathy towards gender differences, Li Yelai dared not even imagine what she would encounter.

"Sigh," Li Yelai sighed, and finally revealed his plan.

He also informed Ye Han, the Little Mad King, of his actions and his goals.

“Suppress the curse.” Little Mad King looked at Li Yelai and frowned slightly.

A crack appeared in the Little Mad King's indifferent expression, perhaps in anger, or something else entirely.

She exhaled slowly, "I've long been accustomed to the existence of the curse, unlike the dolls that yearn for redemption. I only need a teammate I can trust, and Ye Han will not be my teammate. Your worries are unnecessary. Do you also doubt me?" "No, but Ye Han gives me a very bad feeling. I have to be responsible for my friends and family. Let alone contact, I don't even plan to let him see you." Li Yelai shook his head.

After a moment of silence, the Little Mad King nodded slightly: "I understand. Do you need me to kill him for you?"

“If we could, that would be best, but as officials, we actually have no reason to intervene. Moreover, your curse, once exposed, would have unimaginable consequences. That’s why Jing Lin and I came up with the idea of ​​expelling him.” Li Yelai exhaled, “We’re just waiting for him to arrive.”

Meanwhile, in a luxury hotel in the upper part of the city.

Covered in sweat, Zhao Xiao walked out from the end of the corridor.

He had just sparred with the blind swordsman from the snowy mountains. The two didn't use any psionic energy, relying solely on close combat skills. Zhao Xiao benefited greatly from the exchange, which is why he enjoys spending time with Ye Han.

Ye Han can not only help him resolve the rage brought by the curse, but also help him obtain many good things, and even spar with skilled opponents to improve his skills.

He's truly his good brother.

Unfortunately, his younger sister seemed to dislike Ye Han, which left Zhao Xiao somewhat disappointed.

He accepted a finely crafted invitation from the hotel staff and knocked on Ye Han's door.

"Ye Han, is it convenient for you to come in?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Of course, please come in, Brother Zhao," Ye Han's voice rang out.

Zhao Xiao pushed open the door and entered, and saw Ye Han sitting behind the desk.

"The Jing family sent you an invitation." Zhao Xiao placed the invitation on the table.

"Thank you." Ye Han smiled and asked, "How did the sparring session with Senior Blind Swordsman go?"

"Very good, I've learned a lot. If I weren't worried about the curse, I would have fought a little longer." Zhao Xiao chuckled, then asked, "By the way, where did my sister go? It's the Netherworld Path after all; she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Ye Han rested his chin on his hand on the desk, and placed the other hand under the desk. He chuckled and said, "I went shopping with Xiao You and the others. Give Zhao Xiaomei some space."

“That’s true. It’s a rare opportunity to come to Border City No. 3, so we should see what local specialties they have.” Zhao Xiao nodded and asked, “Are you going to the Jing family’s banquet?”

Ye Han picked up the invitation, his eyes flashing for a moment.

As a partner in the cooperation with the main branch of the Jing family, it was only natural that he should go.

But for some reason, when I picked up this invitation...

He sensed a threat from the depths of his being.
This banquet doesn't seem very friendly to him.
Over the years, he has escaped danger many times, becoming the most difficult person to kill in the eyes of his enemies.

It was through his powerful intuition that he could foresee good fortune and avoid misfortune.

This time, he once again felt the pull of inspiration. If he went to the banquet, something very bad would happen.

His last decision to go against his intuition nearly cost him his life. His teammates also suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. He befriended a master like the Blind Swordsman of the Snow Mountain again; otherwise, he might not have survived.

"Interesting. Are they up to no good?" Ye Han chuckled.

“Brother Ye, you are the one who came here,” Zhao Xiao reminded him.

"That's true." Ye Han nodded. "I felt this banquet wasn't very friendly to me."

"Which families will cause you trouble? Could it be that you're from the same clan?" Zhao Xiao's expression turned serious.

Over the years, Ye Han has made many powerful friends and also provoked some enemies, including the Ember Church and families from the giant city.

Among them was Ye Han's own family, the Kunlun Ye family.

Before Ye Han rose to prominence, he suffered a lot within the Ye family. Therefore, he had little affection for the main branch of the family.

The relationship between the two sides is also very strained.

Come to think of it, it's a bit too late to try to salvage a relationship after you've already made it big.

"Who knows? Anyway, I'm not going," Ye Han said. "You guys can go and join in the fun, though."

“Fine. I don’t believe they’d dare lay a hand on us.” Zhao Xiao nodded, then picked up the invitation and left.

Zhao Xiao was unaware that after he closed the door and left...

A figure emerged from under Ye Han's desk amidst black smoke, accompanied by violent coughing and vomiting sounds.

Then, a petite figure rushed out of the desk, holding a trash can and vomiting.

That was none other than Zhao Lin, the younger sister Zhao Xiao had been searching for.

Zhao Lin's face was flushed, but her eyes flashed with a fierce light as she stared intently at Ye Han, who looked completely at ease.

"Aren't you afraid my brother will kill you?"

"Actually, even if you join forces, you can't beat me." Ye Han chuckled. "Besides, do you dare? He was right here just now, but you hid yourself and didn't dare ask him for help. After all, you know more about your brother's curse than I do, right? And even if he knew he would attack his good brother, would he? He's always wanted to bring us together."

Seeing Zhao Lin's annoyed expression, Ye Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will continue to help you."

He really liked that expression, but unfortunately Zhao Lin's infiltration skills weren't very good.

Otherwise, how exciting it would be to violate her in front of her brother!

'I wonder if there are any female assassin masters in City No. 3,' Ye Han thought to himself.

Zhao Lin, with veins bulging on his forehead, transformed into a black shadow and left the room.

After returning to her room, she vigorously washed away the smell from her body.

Kill him! You must kill him!

All I want is the Divine Demon Tablet on his body; he must die!
No matter what power we use, we must kill him!

Remembering her crazed brother, Zhao Lin pounded on the bathroom wall, then suddenly...

She thought of the invitation.
Why did the Jing family's invitation make Ye Han wary?

Is there someone within the Jing family who is hostile to Ye Han? Didn't they cooperate? They even considered a marriage alliance.

and many more!

Zhao Lin's mind raced.

The Jing family's three main branches are embroiled in internal strife, while the young masters of these branches have close ties with the champion's agent.

Ye Han wants to make a move against the sister of the champion's agent!
It’s connected, everything is connected!

It wasn't just me who wanted to kill Ye Han.

Zhao Lin put on her clothes, transformed into a black shadow, and rushed out of the hotel.
An hour later, Jing Lin looked at the girl in front of him and frowned.

He then dialed Li Yelai's number.

"Old Li, the plan has changed!"

"That beast Ye Han won't dare to come back!"

(After some deduction, I realized I wasn't satisfied with the fighting in the giant city, so I'm speeding it up a bit.) (End of Chapter)
