Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

By the time Li Ye arrived, it was already dark.

Inside the safe house's lobby, Jing Lin was talking to a strange girl.

The girl had a pretty face, neat short hair, and wore black-rimmed glasses. She had a scholarly air about her and a reserved and composed demeanor.

This reminded Li Ye of the class monitor who took great care of him during his school days; the class monitor was clearly very intelligent.

Interestingly, Cheese and this girl are dressed similarly, but their personalities are completely different.

Cheese also has short hair and occasionally wears large-framed glasses. But she doesn't have that bookish air; instead, she appears quiet and capable.

It's just that occasionally saying something witty can break this filter.
I wonder if her hair has grown a bit now?

Li Yelai, lost in thought, sat down on the sofa next to Jing Lin and said, "Who are you, sir?"

"Hello, Mr. Champion's representative. You are even more handsome than I imagined. I am Zhao Lin. You investigated Ye Han, so you may know me as well." The girl said with a slight Sichuan accent.

Sure enough, it was the younger sister of the Zhao siblings. The girl who was being coerced.

Li Yelai nodded silently, and Jing Lin remained silent as well.

"When you two quiet down, you do look somewhat alike," Zhao Lin said calmly. "Please don't mind, I'm here to cooperate."

Li Yelai couldn't help but look at Jing Lin.

Even though their relationship had some problems, the Zhao siblings were still Ye Han's companions. She came looking for him, so why did you drag me into this?
Jing Lin explained, "She found the members of the Three Families who sent out the invitations in the giant city and specifically asked to contact me. She also guessed that the banquet was a setup by you and me and wanted to explain the situation in person."

"You guessed it?" Li Yelai raised an eyebrow. "Then Ye Han didn't come to the banquet because he knew about our plan?"

That's really infuriating.

Li Yelai has everything fully prepared here.

Li Yelai spent 300 merit points to exchange for 15 tons of extraordinary biological blood.

They also went to the prison and extracted a large amount of the criminals' spiritual energy to create 130 regular-sized spiritual treasures.

Even the A-grade psionic armor, the Flowing Shadow Bright Light Armor, which he only acquired today, required guidance from the Little Mad King for most of the day.

It can be said that all the trump cards are ready, and they are just waiting for the banquet to start tomorrow to give Ye Han a hard time.

Surprisingly, he guessed it correctly?
The food's all served, and you're not even showing up?

“No, that’s not it. However, Ye Han has an extremely strong intuition. He sensed something was wrong just by glancing at the invitation. He deduced that he would encounter a bad outcome at the banquet and guessed that it was because of some families he had offended,” Zhao Lin said. “As for me, I analyzed it based on that.”

"The invitation came from the Jing family, who had previously cooperated with Ye Han. The Jing family had no reason to target Ye Han, but the Jing family is not a monolithic entity and there is internal strife. One of the three factions in this internal strife is on good terms with the champion agent."

"After Ye Han cooperated with the main branch of the Jing family, he went to see the sister of the champion's agent. This may have been one of the conditions for the cooperation."

"Therefore, I believe that the champion's agent may have noticed, or rather investigated, some problems with Ye Han, and has become suspicious of him, or even harbors murderous intent towards him!"

"Once we confirm that the champion's agent is hostile to Ye Han, we can figure out a lot of things."

"I suspect that the Three Families and the Champion intend to use this banquet as an opportunity to attack Ye Han. They might use methods like ambushes, poisoning, or something else entirely."

Zhao Lin said, "From that perspective, we'd be partners. I also want to kill him!"

Although she herself didn't want to admit it, she was indeed Ye Han's 'partner'.

They have access to many secrets unknown to outsiders, and through the intelligence they have gathered, they can make the most accurate inferences.

"Inspiration? Can it really go this far?" Li Yelai frowned.

In fact, it's not just psionicists; most humans possess incomplete spiritual abilities.

For example, you may have a vague premonition before something happens.

This premonition is a manifestation of intuition, a hint given by the human brain in a non-logical and irrational way when receiving and processing a large amount of information.

Some scholars speculate that the brain may unconsciously capture certain signs of impending events and then express them in an intuitive form.

Therefore, this premonition is uncontrollable and extremely difficult to trigger.

But upon becoming psionicists, humanity's wellspring of souls opened wide, granting them power from the ethereal realm.

This made the sense of foresight clearer and more acute, thus transforming it into inspiration!
Psionicists can perceive supernatural phenomena or information that ordinary people cannot detect through inspiration.

It can also detect certain events in advance, or provide warnings of impending dangers.

It enables psionicists to make the right decisions at critical moments and avoid getting into danger.

Therefore, some psionicists, when facing assassins or returnees, will experience a sense of danger even though they cannot see the other party.

This is one way inspiration is expressed.

For example, Little Mad King received two blessings and one curse in the lucky wheel.

The curse ensured that she would always be discovered by her target during an assassination attempt.

From the perspective of inspiration, it's about suddenly enhancing the assassin's inspiration, thus allowing them to discover the Little Mad King ahead of time.

Even psychics, even those with high awakening levels, cannot fully control their inspiration; it is still considered a kind of intuition and instinct.

Those who have experienced numerous life-or-death crises possess sharper and more accurate intuition when facing danger. However, they cannot truly avert disaster.

Otherwise, a psychic can simply use their intuition before going out; if something good comes up, they'll go; if not, they'll stay home.

If Meiwu, who was killed by Li Yelai, had had a moment's inspiration, she would have hidden herself next to the Six Senses Angel.

Back then, even if Li Yelai and Ma Hongyi fought tooth and nail, they still couldn't kill Meiwu.

"But Ye Han is different; he has an innately keen intuition. He has truly mastered the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune."

Zhao Lin said, "It has even reached an unbelievable level."

During an operation in a bizarre environment, he and several other psionicists were hunted by creatures from a forbidden zone. They fled into a labyrinthine cavern. The group scattered, suffering heavy losses; only three of the dozen or so psionicists survived. However, he, relying on his intuition, not only found the correct route but also retrieved the treasure hidden within.

Li Yelai's eyebrows twitched as he listened.

If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to escape from the cave if I were to trigger this misfortune.

It's good that the cave hasn't collapsed.

Moreover, there's a curse that he's destined to encounter powerful enemies; if he's in the maze, enemies will be delivered to him by various 'coincidences.' "So, he directly sensed the traps you set." Zhao Lin let out a soft breath: "Before, some people tried to set up a trap, but he avoided them all. Killing him or harming him is too difficult. The most dangerous time for him was probably when he met my brother. At that time, they were only at the fourth level of awakening, but they accidentally provoked a sub-adult ancient dragon."

Ancient dragons are an extraordinary species, rare and powerful.

Their rarity stems from their extremely high level of life, making it difficult for them to produce pure-blooded offspring. However, they have left behind many hybrid species, such as the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon and the Celestial Comet Qilin.

This is similar to the reason why highly awakened psionicists often have difficulty having children.

Therefore, some families of psychics have many partners.

However, unlike other species, ancient dragons are incredibly powerful once they are born. They can even use psionic energy while still in their eggs.

Subsequently, after a long growth period, they can reach the level of overlords upon reaching adulthood, which is extremely terrifying.

Ancient dragons are a species that grows stronger the longer they live.

Although the growth cycle is long, it is very resilient.

A sub-adult ancient dragon should be at the level of a sixth-level awakening. This is beyond the capabilities of Ye Han, who is only at the fourth level of awakening.

“My brother got separated from him, and the next time we met, he had already advanced to the fifth level of perception.”

"Later, we learned that while fleeing for his life, he by chance rescued the trapped human powerhouse, the Blind Swordsman of the Snow Mountain. In gaining the Blind Swordsman's friendship, he killed the ancient dragon that was almost fully grown. Using the ancient dragon's blood, he entered the ancient dragon's lair and found a blood-red dragon pearl. Using it as material, he successfully advanced to the fifth awakening!"

"This is also a benefit that his inspiration brings him."

Not only are they incredibly inspired, but they also have phenomenal luck!

Jing Lin was astonished: "Is this Ye Han really the chosen one? He can suppress the curse and turn misfortune into good fortune? And he has so many beautiful women around him."

"Ahem!" Li Yelai coughed lightly, causing Jing Lin to swallow his words.

“At least, that’s what he thinks.” Zhao Lin pushed up his glasses nonchalantly and said, “Although he’s very good at pretending, he’s extremely arrogant. He wants to be the best at everything.”

"Potions are like this, treasures are like this, and women are the same. They are greedy and unrestrained."

“But even so, he wasn’t corrupted by Bliss.” Li Yelai frowned. “In the Bliss faction, he’s at least a chosen one.”

"Indeed, what are the Bliss Faction doing?" Jing Lin also complained. Aren't these kinds of psychics, whose hearts are filled with desire, pride, and self-indulgence, exactly what the Bliss Faction loves?

“He has the bloodline of the Spiritbreakers, which not only makes him resistant to psychic energy and curses, but also gives him considerable resistance to the power of chaos,” Zhao Lin said. “Of course, he may also have been corrupted, but no one has ever discovered it.”

Li Yelai and Jing Lin exchanged a glance, both sensing the difficulty and trouble they were facing.

This Ye Han is too difficult to kill!
Zhao Lin then asked, "Your Excellency Night General, the Puppet Captain must be very beautiful, right?"

Li Ye nodded. The doll was indeed very beautiful; even without makeup, she possessed a breathtaking beauty. Especially when she smiled, one could sense the purity and beauty within her.

"No wonder. Just as I said, Ye Han is extremely arrogant. He will stop at nothing to get the person he sets his sights on."

After seeing the doll, he became particularly obsessed. When he was with those women, he seemed to be fantasizing about something.

But he couldn't suppress the doll's curse, while you could ignore it. Therefore, he harbors a certain hostility towards you, though not overtly. He seems to perceive you as someone who has taken over his possessions.

"Ridiculous! Dolls aren't objects; they're living, breathing people! And what does it have to do with Ye Han?" Li Yelai sneered.

“Exactly, does that mean every pretty girl he sees has to be his wife?” Jing Lin mocked.

"Because he always gets what he wants; those who try to stop him are either killed or injured. It's as if it's truly destiny. When you consider yourself the protagonist of the world, you can probably understand his thinking."

Zhao Lin said calmly, but subconsciously put her arm around his shoulder: "So, Lord Night General, you must be very careful. It's too dangerous to be envied by him. He has encountered many geniuses and strong people, but none of them ended up well."

"Furthermore, if you don't want anything to happen to your friend, then you must kill him."

“But here’s the problem. According to you, unless we teleport to him right now and kill him, his spiritual powers will allow him to escape danger. Even sending an assassin would be discovered.” Jing Lin frowned.

"Indeed, but this time is different. His intuition sensed danger within the Divine Palace, but also an extremely important opportunity."

This time, he sensed that the opportunity within the Celestial Palace was extremely important.

Therefore, they will inevitably go to one of the palaces in the celestial palace!
This would be the best opportunity if you wanted to kill him.

Although his intuition was exceptionally sharp, it was not enough for him to discern the specific source of danger.

Therefore, this could be used to mislead his inspiration. Even if he sensed danger in the celestial palace, he would rush there.

This is the only chance we have to kill him!

Is he supposed to wait for him in a place where inspiration already senses danger? That would certainly be a good idea.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin nodded silently, understanding Zhao Lin's thoughts.

"Then," Jing Lin began, "Miss Zhao Lin, do you have any requests for our help?"

“That’s right. I want Ye Han’s Divine Demon Tablet; it’s his trump card for suppressing the curse!” Zhao Lin said.

As long as you possess the Divine Demon Stele.
No, even if I can't possess the Divine Demon Tablet. As long as the person who possesses the Divine Demon Tablet isn't Ye Han.

It wasn't Ye Han who threatened him with his brother's curse!
That's enough!
Afterwards, Zhao Lin exchanged contact information with the two men and quickly left the safe house.

She didn't want to arouse Ye Han's suspicion.

Inside the villa, Li Yelai and Jing Lin had a discussion.

"Can we trust her?" Li Yelai asked. "Did your Heavenly Eye see any flaws?"

"It's hard to say. But she didn't seem to be lying, so it's very likely true." Jing Lin fiddled with his bangs, revealing the golden rune between his eyebrows.

The moment he made contact with Zhao Lin, he activated his Heavenly Eye and obtained a large amount of data about Zhao Lin.

Of course, this wasn't about taking advantage of her. Rather, it was about observing whether she was lying; both of them suspected that this was bait deliberately set up by Ye Han.

Fortunately, Jing Lin did not notice anything unusual.

It doesn't seem like she's lying. Of course, if Zhao Lin is a skilled actress, that's another story.

“If it’s true, then it’s certainly feasible,” Li Yelai said. “But we still need to enter the Immortal Palace first.”

"This Ye Han is truly difficult to kill." (End of Chapter)
