Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 493 - 232: Decapitation Target, Emperor’s Fall! (5k)_3

Chapter 493: Chapter 232: Decapitation Target, Emperor’s Fall! (5k)_3

"You have such an ability, yet you’re hardly famous in Giant City; they must be blind," Red Fury said.

It wasn’t that his fame was inconspicuous; the higher echelons of Giant City protected their information, and only a select few teammates who had cooperated with Li Yelai knew about his abilities.

Of course, if he were known as ’Monster Brushing Cage,’ then everyone would indeed recognize him, Li Yelai thought to himself.

Then, the three of them agreed on the time for the next day’s operation and parted ways.

Humming a little tune, Li Yelai dispersed his guards and returned to his room.

In the next second, Little Mad King emerged from the shadows, wearing a tight-fitting suit.

"You weren’t affected by my actions, were you?" Li Yelai asked first. To flush out the watcher, he had used Bai Qi’s mask and activated Blood Prison Demon Suppression.

"Of course not, you gave me enough time to retreat," Little Mad King exhaled softly. "But your reaction was fast; you did well."

"How did you notice the Blood Fly?" asked Li Yelai. Blood Flies, a species bred by the Eternal Life Faction, were extremely covert, making Little Mad King’s discovery impressively astute.

"I received a blessing from the Lucky Wheel that allows me to sense unexpected surveillance. You probably can’t replicate that."

The Lucky Wheel, huh? Li Yelai’s face fell. Whether or not he wore a mask, with his luck, it was absolutely impossible to receive a blessing from the Big Roulette.

Little Mad King then said, "Tomorrow is the day of the general offensive, and it’s very likely that the comrades from Team One will take action."

It was suspected that this internal conflict within the church was orchestrated by Team One, and on the day of the general offensive, they would surely act.

From Li Yelai’s perspective, it was uncertain whether their method was advantageous, but his current identity was that of their enemy...

His own safety was quite precarious.

"Yes, I know," Li Yelai said with a somewhat solemn face. "So, if there’s an operation tomorrow, I will try my best to eliminate the members of the Ember Church around me to create an opportunity for us to talk."

After becoming ’the enemy,’ Li Yelai felt the terrifying pressure brought by Champion Team One.

He only hoped that they would be slow to act when the time came.

...

Meanwhile, at the base of the Night Patrol in Giant City,

The group had already finalized their plan of action, using the Blood God Church to breach a dangerous factory fortress and a small town in the mountains.

They would take the opportunity to decapitate several Divine Chosen!

If the plan succeeded, it would be a tremendous victory for humanity!

Everyone was spirited.

Yet in a corner, there was utter silence.

The powerhouses of Champion Team One were in the corner, shielding themselves from other members of the Giant City Night Patrol.

Their expressions were ominously grim.

"Are you certain, Ming Lang?" they turned to an elite Netherworld Path Night General who had spent a long time on the battlefield and had gathered much intelligence. But one piece of intelligence had shocked all members of Team One.

"I’m not sure!" Ming Lang slowly shook his head. "I’ve only met Ye Lai once, but the voice and physique of that Emperor’s Fall Chosen One match his too closely. They’re both from the Wanxiang Path... and also..."

At that moment, Cheese coldly interjected, "There are plenty of Spiritual Ability Users on the Wanxiang Path. What’s wrong with a few resembling him? From what we know, he can’t even summon Thunder."

"But..." Ming Lang hesitated momentarily before continuing, "He performed the Single-handed Eighteen Strokes."

"Single-handed Eighteen Strokes? It has long been recorded in our official database for all comrades to study freely. Several of you have even learned a few moves, haven’t you? Are you going to accuse him on that account?" Cheese spoke again, his voice carrying a chill.

Labeling their own comrade as Chaos Chosen infuriated Cheese so much that his body trembled.

How could he possibly betray humanity? Ridiculous!

He is a hero, a hero who has saved himself, many comrades, and many civilians! How dare they defile him so?

Even among comrades, such accusations were unfounded!

Ming Lang looked into Cheese’s eyes and said, "I know you’re close to him, and to be honest, I also expected a lot from him, as he’s a successor of our Team One, but..."

"But he performed the Shadow Army and Mimicry Abyss Dragon Scale! The rarely seen Shadow Army of the Netherworld Path combined with the Abyss Dragon Scale... who else could it be?"

At these words, all the Night Patrol fell silent.

Wanxiang Path, Single-handed Eighteen Strokes, Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale, and... the Shadow Army of the Netherworld Path.

Only he, the one secretly nurtured by Captain Yang Chen, the most promising junior of Team One, the Monster Brushing Cage of Giant City, Ye Lai, could reach this level.

But how... could he become a Divine Chosen? If it were any ordinary believer, Team One would ecstatically place a Night General like him deep within enemy lines.

Indeed, Ye Lai’s Calamity was too strong; the best method was to send him into the enemy camp.

Let the enemies feel the thrill of the Monster Brushing Cage. Team One would try to connect with Ye Lai and conspire to bring down the Church.

But... Divine Chosen. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

A Divine Chosen is a believer watched by the Divine... becoming a Divine Chosen implies corruption.

They are almost representatives of the Divine in the Physical World. Even if he truly were an undercover agent, he would become utterly loyal to the Church the moment he became a Divine Chosen.

Cheese’s face turned ashen, like an exquisite canvas untouched by any colors of life.

Her face remained as beautiful as a painting, yet now it lacked its healthy glow and vibrancy.

It appeared somewhat desolate and helpless.

Her lips almost lost their color, like two thin, white petals, evoking an urge to protect and warm them.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, her voice hoarse, "I... I will carry out the decapitation operation on Emperor’s Fall tomorrow."

"If... if it really is him... if he has truly betrayed humanity..."

"Then... I will be the one to bury him."

Cheese whispered, "We had made a promise."
