Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 74 Yaoqing Giant City

As Li Ye approached.

The Nightfall Mountain Lord, monitored by several processors, stared intently at Li Yelai with its four tiger eyes.

A low growl came from his mouth.

This low growl was understood by Li Yelai's virtual beast language.

'Is he the target you chose?' Shan Jun's gaze swept over Li Yelai, seemingly discerning Li Yelai's strength.

It is a transcendent being with strength approaching that of a sixth-level psychic, originating from the Calamity Forbidden Zone, Immortal Ruins. It is the overlord of a certain mountain within the forbidden zone.

Although he was once captured by a powerful family of psionicists who ventured deep into the forbidden zone, he was later taken away by the Church of the Embers.

But this also helped me understand the power levels of human psionicists.

And knowing their own importance, human individuals who possess their own clones will have significantly increased combat power.

A mere second-stage psychic shouldn't deserve the help of my clone.

Whether it was that powerful family or the Church of Embers.

But they all arranged for elite members with the third, fourth, or fifth level of consciousness to obtain their own clones.

Shouldn't the processing department of this megacity allow those elites to be given clones?

Could it be that this second-awakening psychic has a very high status?
Nightfall Lord quickly considered whether he could obtain some help from someone of high status.
"Mind your own business. Just create your clone." The psionicist with the murmured path sneered in the language of the ethereal beasts and commanded, "You have no choice."

The mountain lord remained silent.

Indeed, it had long since run out of options.

Ever since it was captured by that family of psionicists and taken out of the restricted area, its life has been in the hands of humans.

Humanity fears the forbidden zones of calamity, dreading the outbreak of a new era of catastrophe in these areas.

Extraordinary beings also fear the giant city.

There are a large number of human psionicists in the giant cities, and some giant cities even have king-level powerhouses.

For example, the Mad King of Border City No. 3, and the Amber King of Lava Mine City.
Large numbers of human psionicists hunt supernatural creatures to obtain materials and seize resources.

As a result, in the eyes of many extraordinary beings without any backing or support, human cities are another form of forbidden zone!

No matter how glorious the supernatural beings were before, their life and death are now in the hands of humans.

In order to survive, it has no choice but to obey all arrangements. Otherwise, being turned into raw material will be its final fate.

No matter how humiliating it is, it doesn't want this kind of ending!

So, while the other handlers moved away from the mountain king, Li Yelai approached with a long halberd.

This enormous black tiger tried its best to be friendly.

It knew that if it made any move, the handlers would immediately end its life!

Especially that square-faced man in the distance, wearing armor and a cloak!

Li Yelai stepped forward, raised his halberd, and asked in the language of the Void Realm beasts, "Can you house your clone within a weapon?"

"Okay," Black Tiger replied in a low voice, "but I must remind you, even if I erase the intelligence of my clone, it will still possess instincts."

"What do you mean?" Li Yelai asked, looking at the somewhat humble-looking Black Tiger in front of him.

"Each time you act, the clone tries to devour flesh and blood. If you fail, it might refuse to appear, or even attack you," Mountain Lord said. "If you leave the clone's consciousness behind, you can avoid this situation. Moreover, with my combat experience and insight, I can better assist you!"

Li Yelai turned to look at the processor not far away, who said, "That's true. It's up to you, but you have to consider the worst possible consequences."

"Forget it, I don't want this experience." Li Yelai shook his head decisively. Keeping the self-awareness of the clone was the real danger.

As for devouring flesh and blood, Li Ye can simply bring some mutton rolls with him when he arrives.

The Mountain Lord sighed inwardly, then asked, "What level of power do you need for your clone? Let's categorize it according to the strength of you human psionicists."

It can adjust the strength of its clones; the strongest clone can even possess the power of five senses.

However, similarly, if such a powerful clone were to go out of control, it would be a scourge to the contractor.

"Let's go with the strength of a human psionicist at the third awakening level," Li Yelai said after thinking for a moment.

'I hope you don't get into trouble because of your choice, otherwise I won't have a good ending either.' The mountain king hesitated for a moment, but still flicked its tail, which was wrapped in black mist.

A shadow emerged, transforming into a massive, powerful tiger.

The giant tiger's body was somewhat ethereal and not solid, but it was enormous, with a shoulder height of over two meters and a body length of about five meters.

It looked down at Li Yelai, its four tiger eyes filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

The overwhelming sense of danger made Li Yelai raise an eyebrow. He was somewhat satisfied.

That's enough to swallow me whole! Absolutely amazing!
"How about that? This is what I looked like when I was young. I was so full of youthful vigor back then," the mountain king began to boast.

That was its clone, a projection possessing the power of a human's third sense.

However, a short female handler soon stepped forward and took out a metal rod.

He jumped up and slammed his fist hard on the giant tiger's head, knocking it to the ground.

The mountain king, who was about to say something, gasped in shock.

"What are you doing? Did you make me summon clones for you to kill? What's the point?" Shan Jun looked at the clones that had been knocked away, completely baffled by the handler's actions.

Li Yelai was also quite surprised. Wasn't this method of erasing consciousness too crude?

The processor waved his hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, this is how we delete the original consciousness of the clone."

She waved the metal rod in her hand and said, "This is a forbidden item."

For a moment, Shan Jun was at a loss for words. In the church, at least some ritual is used to erase memories. How come in your Calamity Management Bureau, it's all done in one fell swoop?
The processor continued, "Alright, Night General, its clone's memories have been erased. Stand here, so that the first thing it sees is you, and it will become dependent on you. This will prevent it from being taken away by other people who possess the language of the Void Realm Beasts."

"Okay, thank you!" Li Yelai obediently did as he was told, and the giant tiger, who had been beaten until he was dizzy, stood up at that moment, shaking its head.

Originally, those two tiger eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

Now, however, it reveals a clear-eyed stupidity. So much so that Li Yelai felt his colleague had knocked him senseless with a single blow.

Upon first sight of Li Yelai, the giant tiger approached him like a cat, sniffing him all over.

Finally, it collapsed in front of Li Yelai, exposing its belly. This showed a great deal of intimacy.

'No!!! Don't show my boyish body like that!!!'

When the mountain lord saw its clone make such a gesture, it let out a devastating roar.

What a disgrace!
Li Yelai rubbed the giant tiger's belly, finding it a bit prickly. It didn't seem easy to pet. So, he smiled and pointed to his Crimson Dragon Halberd: "Let's go in."

The giant tiger then transformed into a shadow and swirled into the halberd.

Afterwards, Li Yelai picked up his halberd and went to the side to test his virtual beast language.

With this giant tiger clone, the power of beast language is greatly enhanced!

The mountain lord stopped wailing, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As Li Yelai got up to leave, it seemed to smell a familiar scent of blood.
On the other side, Yang Chen on the platform nodded in satisfaction as he watched Li Ye leave, saying, "That's good."

Yang Chen, as the team captain, was naturally happy that his teammates had benefited.

"Captain, this Nightfall Mountain Lord is extremely rare. According to the prisoners' confessions, it seems to belong to the Jing family, a spiritual power family in Yaoqing Giant City. Including this mountain lord, as well as several forbidden items, the church obtained them during a raid on the Jing family's caravan."

"Yaoqing Giant City?" Yang Chen frowned. "That's too far. Those church guys actually went that far?"

Yaoqing is a northern megacity located very far from the border city.

According to the information Li Yelai obtained from the Ark, there is an Eighth-Senses Psionicist there.

If he can break through again, he will reach the level of the Old Mad King. A king-level powerhouse!
As for the rest, I'm not too sure.

It is said that the giant city, like the border city, is a giant city full of martial virtue.

Unexpectedly, the church in Border City No. 3 actually had things from there.

"The problem isn't the distance, but those forbidden objects. During the previous suppression, we discovered one of the forbidden objects—a black jade pendant. It had transformed into the yin aspect of the tai chi symbol and was emitting some kind of resonance," the processor said. "We deduced that this forbidden object possesses a second half. If the other half is in Yaoqing Giant City, or rather, in the hands of the Jing family, they might have already noticed."

"So what if they notice? It's not a big deal." Yang Chen shook his head.

“What if they know the item is with us and send someone to contact us to demand that forbidden object?” a teammate asked.

“Let the higher-ups in the giant city handle these diplomatic issues; we can’t manage them,” Yang Chen frowned. “As for transferring forbidden items, the giant city of Yaoqing is naturally willing to do so, as long as safety is guaranteed. But if it’s the Jing family, hmph, what kind of forbidden items does a family need?”

The teammate nodded.

On the other side, Li Yelai whispered, "Mountain Lord! Swallow!"

The Language of Beasts in the Illusory Realm!

In an instant, a gaping maw appeared out of thin air and lunged at the armored training dummy in front of it.

The next instant, the upper body of the doll disappeared.

A ball of steel, bitten to pieces, was spat onto the ground.

Soon, its power was immense! Li Yelai nodded slightly and continued speaking.

"claw!"

A gigantic tiger claw reappeared out of thin air, grabbing at another mannequin clad in steel armor. The sharp claw sliced ​​through the air.

It easily tore through the steel armor and pulverized the puppet inside!
"flutter!"

A giant black tiger appeared out of thin air and leaped into the air. Li Yelai grabbed its tail and was thrown up with it. The tiger pounced on the last training dummy, crushing it flat.

Then, the giant tiger became somewhat unhappy that Li Yelai was grabbing its tail, and headbutted Li Yelai several times.

Li Yelai had no choice but to pick up half a pig leg from the church kitchen and stuff it whole into the giant tiger's mouth.

The giant tiger curled its tongue, spitting out not even a bone. Then, it stared at Li Yelai, seemingly wanting to eat some more.

"It really can eat a lot. Am I really going to be eaten out of house and home by it?" Li Yelai complained, and sent the Mountain Lord back into its weapon.

"No, even if the food provided is a supernatural creature, it won't eat much." At this moment, a clear female voice came from the side.

It was none other than the Little Mad King.

Her mission was to protect Li Yelai while eliminating the prey he had lured there. Now, although the mission was accomplished, she lingered by Li Yelai's side for a while, as a powerful figure on the Netherworld Path. She was perhaps the strongest assassin in the entire giant city.

As a result, none of the powerful figures other than the captain noticed her presence.

Now that he has witnessed Li Yelai's improvement, he has shown up and offered his opinion.

"Where would I get the money to buy the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings?" Li Yelai asked, surprised but still retorting, "You should know the price of extraordinary beings, right?"

"What I mean is, as long as you kill the enemy, you don't need to worry about food for the Mountain Lord's clones." The Little Mad King said indifferently, "Don't forget, psionicists are also extraordinary beings."

Li Yelai was startled. Did she mean to eat the enemy's flesh and blood?

"You mean cannibalism?" Li Yelai frowned.

"Some guys aren't even human. Is it even necessary to care how they died?" Little Mad King said calmly, "Of course, how you judge them is your business."

After thinking it over, Li Yelai could only nod. For those fanatical followers, no death was too much; they were no longer human.

The Little Mad King continued, "With the help of such extraordinary beings, your margin for error is much higher. If necessary, you can even use them as a shield."

"But neither your dual-wielding knight nor this projection of an extraordinary creature can be considered auxiliary means. Neither is as important as your own strength."

"You still need to consider your own abilities and prepare the potion in advance."

“I know,” Li Yelai nodded.

Yang Chen had said something like that to him.

These summoned creatures are ultimately just external objects; you can't expect them to decide the outcome in one move. But at least my second awakening ability wasn't wasted.

Meanwhile, compared to the gradually cooling border city of No. 3, the Great City of Yaoqing was already covered in ice and snow.

The people in the giant city had long been accustomed to it and began to tend to the frozen streets.

In a warm room within this frozen metropolis, someone whispered, "A Class B forbidden substance, Tai Chi Yang. It's reacting."

"Have you located the direction?" In the warm room, an old man slowly opened his eyes, his powerful spiritual energy momentarily stopping the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"We know the general direction."

“Alright.” The old man said, “Dispatch the family’s elite forces to contact the Yaoqing Giant City’s handling department and form an expedition team to track them down along the way. If they are in the Ember Church, contact nearby giant cities to jointly wipe them out and take back Yin. If they are in a giant city, make diplomatic contact, offer compensation, exchange, or purchase—anything is acceptable—to take back Yin at all costs. And if they are in the Forbidden Zone, I will go there myself!”

"Yes!"

The old man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the stale air from his lungs.

He continued, "Let the third brother lead the team; their lineage has been dormant for too long."

"Yes." The man's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded and took his leave.

I recommend the book "My Girlfriend Will Take Action," a humorous slice-of-life romance story, as the title suggests.

A new book from an old friend, with guaranteed update frequency and quality!
