Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Looking at the enormous amount on the bill, Jing Lin was so upset he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Even though he was a core member of the three branches of the Jing family, and a young master from a prominent family in the eyes of outsiders.

His available assets are actually just the profits of the companies under his three branches.

This bet cost him so much that he felt a pang of heartache.

Those business members from the three factions must be green with envy.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Yelai and Jing Jing's bet had made him a lot of money, he would be considering taking on some side jobs with detectives now.

"Sigh... Old Li made us, and Old Li ruined us too." He sighed helplessly and put the account book away.

When he first met Li Yelai, Li Yelai and Cheese had just suppressed the Dream Butterfly Tree.

He could sense the ulterior motives between the two at the time and believed that Cheese had a high chance of successfully seducing Li Yelai.

Unfortunately, Cheese went out to investigate and didn't reveal the truth.

Otherwise, the betting game might have already been decided.

In fact, Jinglin understood Zhishi's thoughts, believing that he was about to embark on a long journey and that unexpected events might occur, with too many uncertainties in the future. Therefore, he dared not voice his concerns.

This is similar to someone else's thinking. Uncertainty about the future makes them hesitant to show their emotions.

From this perspective, Cheese is indeed an independent, self-reliant, restrained, and rational good woman.

This is also why Jing Lin bet on her.

As a result, he met a naive girl who overcame all obstacles in the most direct way.

What is this? Is it a case of one force breaking all laws?
It's fortunate that the person was strong enough to keep a champion agent in check.
"We've been caught off guard," Jing Lin muttered, then took out his psionic armor to check it; he also needed to prepare to enter the Celestial Palace.

Meanwhile, inside an off-road vehicle, a torrential downpour was in full swing.

Li Yelai placed the wandering knight coin on the armrest box and started spinning it.

He then drove his off-road vehicle onto the ring road.

The range of the Ranger Coin is about five kilometers, and Li Yelai plans to take advantage of the night to run around the giant city.

Let's see if we can get in touch with Wilderness Ranger.

Wilderness Rangers are elusive and unpredictable; there might be several within Border City 3.

Back then, when Li Qiong's father wanted to contact the wandering knights, he used similar methods and spent a lot of effort to gather a group of wilderness wanderers.

This is also a characteristic of the Wilderness Ranger.

Therefore, even if one person is captured, it will not implicate the other wandering knights.

It's just a bit troublesome to find.

If you're unlucky, there might not be any wanderers at all in Border City No. 3.

But this possibility is very low. This time, the Celestial Palace has attracted several other church factions, who are also believers in the Chaos God. They will probably be interested as well.
So, Li Yelai passed through the ring city and the new city and arrived at the Shangcheng District, or the main city, which is located in the core area.

Compared to other districts, the main urban area is the core of the entire megacity.

From a normal person's perspective, this place, with its skyscrapers, is a prime location for high wages and high consumption.

Actually, it's pretty much the same.

The headquarters of most of the city's administrative units are located in this area.

It wouldn't be wrong to call it the essence.

At the same time, it also boasts the city's most luxurious hotel.

Li Yelai looked at the dazzling array of skyscrapers inside the car, then glanced at the unresponsive coin. He continued driving.

He plans to start his investigation in the main urban area, where there are many high-end hotels and a considerable number of migrant families temporarily residing. The probability of these families being wilderness adventurers is quite high.

However, his eyes flickered when he saw the Qikai Hotel.

That bastard Ye Han is in this hotel.

On the overpass, Li Yelai's gaze fell on a luxury hotel in the distance.

According to intelligence, Ye Han and his group had booked the top-floor luxury suite of this hotel.

It was a pity that it was inside a giant city, and there were many innocent people in the hotel, otherwise he really wanted to throw an annihilation lightning bolt into that room.

Li Yelai thought to himself as he drove away.

Just as he increased the distance, Li Yelai suddenly heard a knocking sound amidst the heavy rain. Looking around, he saw a blurry dark figure outside the driver's side window, calmly and rhythmically knocking on the window.

This startled Li Yelai, as he was still on the elevated road and moving quite fast.

Even if a psionicist could keep up with that speed, they wouldn't be able to knock on the door so easily.

Despite his surprise, Li Yelai still opened the car window and recognized the person who had come.

As the car window opened, a gust of cold rainwater rushed into the car.

At the same time, a cool, refreshing fragrance wafted into Li Yelai's nostrils.

The car window was only halfway down when the figure passed through it, over Li Yelai who was driving, and landed steadily on the passenger seat.

That's incredibly agile and precise!
"Aren't you afraid of kicking me?" Li Yelai exclaimed, quickly closing the car window. In just a short while, the inside of the car door was already wet.

"What are you doing here?" Li Yelai asked in surprise, and took out a towel from the Ark's storage space and handed it to the figure in the co-pilot's seat.

This person was none other than Little Mad King.

She was still wearing a tight-fitting outfit and a black trench coat. The rain had soaked her trench coat; for a psionicist, with a psionic barrier activated, the rain shouldn't be able to get close.

Unless, they are on some kind of stealth mission, in which case they would even turn off the psionic barrier.

Sure enough, she took the towel and wiped the rain off her trench coat, saying, "I was investigating Ye Han and his group when I saw you, so I came up for a ride."

Li Yelai was surprised, and then asked, "You're investigating Ye Han?"

"Didn't you tell me you were going to make a move against Ye Han?" Little Mad King looked at Li Ye Lai strangely. "I usually teach you in the morning and then come to monitor him in the afternoon. I thought you knew."

"How would I know? It's just a personal thought. I never intended to drag the authorities into this." Li Yelai was taken aback: "So, that's why you challenged the Blind Swordsman of the Snow Mountain at the Jing family banquet last night?"

Li Yelai had guessed this, but he didn't expect that Little Mad King would specially come to investigate Ye Han and the others in the rain.

“Neither you nor Ye Han attended the Jing family banquet last night.” Little Mad King nodded. “But I suspect that if you continue to target Ye Han, that blind swordsman from the Snow Mountain will inevitably become an obstacle. He and Ye Han have a very close relationship, similar to a mentor and friend. So, I sparred with him and learned a bit about his abilities and strength.”

This made Li Yelai feel somewhat guilty: "I'm sorry, Ye Han's inspiration was so strong that he didn't go to the banquet, so I didn't go either."

“It’s alright,” said Little Mad King. “That blind swordsman from the snow mountain is quite strong, his swordsmanship is no less than Flying Snow’s. But his eyesight is almost completely gone, which reduces his combat power.” “He is a psionicist of the Myriad Paths, just like you. His abilities are Mimic Blade Dragon Scale, Frost Dragon Breath, and Lava Dragon Tail Swing. His Mythical Mimicry seems to be the Great Phoenix. This makes him extremely fast, even I find it difficult to keep up.”

"He seemed to have some trump cards up his sleeve, but because it was just a friendly exchange, we stopped short of pushing him to reveal them."

"The Vientiane Path? Thank you." Li Yelai turned the steering wheel and drove into the downhill lane.

The curse of the blind swordsman is his lack of sight.

With each use of his abilities, his eyesight deteriorated.

Despite his superb swordsmanship and outstanding combat prowess, his poor eyesight still affected him.

He was almost completely blind during one operation.

Trapped in the mountains by the enemy's scheme.

Finally, he was rescued by Ye Han, who also helped him suppress the curse, and from then on they became friends.

If Ye Han were to be killed, the Blind Swordsman of Snow Mountain would surely intervene.

Moreover, if he stays with Ye Han, who suppresses his curse, the blind swordsman's combat power will be even stronger.

Of course, the same was true for Ye Han's other companions.

“So, while you’re dealing with Ye Han, I’ll help you hold off the Blind Swordsman of Snow Mountain,” Little Mad King said.

“The authorities can’t interfere in this operation,” Li Yelai said.

“I know that if I make a move, I will conceal my identity. At the very least, you must use the power of the church to hold off the Blind Swordsman,” Little Mad King said. “If these two join forces, you will undoubtedly lose. Although you are the champion’s agent, you are ultimately only at the fifth level of awakening. You can kill a sixth-level awakening expert, but you cannot face two sixth-level awakening experts at the same time. Don’t be arrogant, my teammate.”

Li Yelai nodded; he naturally knew this. He already faced considerable pressure dealing with just one Sixth Sense. He wasn't arrogant enough to face two Sixth Senses simultaneously.

"And then there's Ye Han." The Little Mad King seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, his handsome brows furrowing. "His talent is very high, and his spiritual energy grows rapidly. After sparring with other spiritual users, he seems to gain insights, and he's quite perceptive at that."

"I intended to approach and investigate, but he noticed me as soon as I got within a hundred meters. His gaze turned towards my direction," Little Mad King said solemnly. "This is the first time I've been discovered before by a powerhouse of the same level. So, I could only keep my distance and investigate the people around him instead."

The Little Mad King's ability to hide is unparalleled.

Even among the Chosen Ones of Chaos, who were both at the Sixth Awakening level, the difference between them and the Little Mad King was negligible. It could be said that this was the strongest concealment ability among those of the same level. Yet, Ye Han detected it beforehand.

With such powerful inspiration, ordinary assassinations simply cannot succeed.

"Secondly, he's very skilled at making friends. In just a few days, he's already made contact with several families, including the Jing family," Little Mad King said. "If you want to deal with him, you must consider whether these families will interfere."

The ability to suppress curses is indeed very useful; those families have probably all realized this.

"Then, there's his lifestyle." Little Mad King frowned: "It's really decadent. I found out that he met a female member of his family once before they started meeting in private."

Little Mad King doesn't care much about matters of the heart. But even she finds it decadent. That's probably quite absurd.
But Li Yelai didn't want to know.

“That’s enough, my teammate. Ye Han is too strange; there’s no need to investigate further,” Li Yelai said. “From my perspective, it’s best to avoid any contact.”

Little Mad King nodded slightly. Since Li Yelai had said so, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Also, thank you." Li Yelai was truly grateful. He had no intention of asking Little Mad King for help, but Little Mad King had helped him a great deal.

"It's alright, you've helped me before."

Li Yelai then drove the vehicle to the vicinity of the Bureau's headquarters.

Before Li Ye could stop the car, Little Mad King opened the window and slipped out like a water snake.

It vanished into the rainy night in an instant.

"Why don't you just use the door?" Li Yelai complained, closing the car window.

The vehicle circled back onto the ring road and continued its journey through the rainy night. The ranger coin, meanwhile, continued to spin, trying to contact any potential wilderness rangers nearby.

Li Yelai spent four hours circling around, and it was almost dawn.

After glancing at the tank, which was only a quarter full, Li Yelai had no choice but to turn back.

The city is too big, and the coin receiving range is only five kilometers, so it is very likely that it will be missed.

This is a time-consuming task.

However, just as Li Yelai entered the East New City District from the South New City District.

It was exactly midnight.

The spinning coin suddenly emitted a low, hoarse sound.

"Those who have kindled the flames of hope, please proceed to the Lava Mine City and enter the Divine Palace."

The voice was old and ethereal, yet it contained a certain power, echoing in Li Yelai's mind.

This greatly surprised Li Yelai. He had also contacted the Wilderness Ranger using coins, but this phenomenon had never occurred before.

Moreover, this appears to be a mass message?
Although Li Yelai was taken aback, he reacted quickly, pulling the car to the side of the road. He tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

But the coin didn't answer his question. Instead, it continued, "The blue flame has been ignited. That blue arrow will eventually tear through the night and bring the dawn of hope!"

Then the coin fell silent, and no sound came out again.

Li Yelai was extremely surprised. The Azure Flame had already been ignited?

But the Celestial Palace hasn't even opened yet, okay?
Could it be that there's a problem inside the Celestial Palace?

Li Yelai frowned, finding it hard to understand.

The Azure Flame must be the power or blessing of that Fifth God; he was fortunate enough to have seen it once.

The power of the five Chaos Gods each possesses a different aura.

Blood God is the crimson of slaughter, Immortality is the rich dark green, Ecstasy is the alluring purple-pink, and Deceit is the calm deep blue.

The fifth god is the dazzling blue flame.

A blue flame is burning inside the celestial palace. Does this mean that the power of the fifth god has entered the celestial palace first?

That shouldn't be the case. How did He get in? Through the back door?

Li Yelai pondered for a moment, then relayed the message to Yin Huo. He needed to inform the authorities first.

The Wilderness Ranger might be planning something this time! And it's related to the Celestial Palace!
Yin Huo quickly sent a message as well.

"News has also come from other border cities that several powerful individuals, suspected to be wilderness rangers, have been spotted."

"Multiple? So fast?" Li Yelai asked. "I just received the news. Did they teleport? No, even if they teleported, the giant city shouldn't be able to get the news this quickly, right?"

“That means the information you received wasn’t consistent,” Yin Huo said. “They were farther from the Celestial Palace and received the information earlier. You, being closer to the Celestial Palace, received the information later. This allowed you to arrive at the Celestial Palace at the same time.” (End of Chapter)
