Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 545 - 257: Boarding the Abandoned Ship

As the Great Divine Oracle concluded, Blood God Chosen Ones around the world awakened within their respective ritual palaces or safe houses.

In an abandoned town a hundred miles from No.2 Border City, a young man opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as thunder, cold light displaying.

"Lord Di Yun is indeed greatly favored by my lord..." he murmured, "What is so special about him that he gets such attention? Have you gathered any information about him? Where does he come from, what was his identity before becoming Divine Chosen?"

Beside him, three Divine Chosen Servants, two men, and a woman, bowed their heads. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The female servant, who once led a team to support Li Yelai, shook her head and said, "No, while providing support, I tried to investigate. Red Fury and Xue Yin intentionally hid his identity, and even killed some believers to cover it up. We know nothing of Lord Di Yun’s past. But one thing we can confirm, he’s likely not from No.2 Border City’s official or family, high chances are he’s from No.3 Border City."

"Didn’t even the officials internally find anything about him?" the man frowned slightly, "Didn’t the White Cliff Demon General manage to find any information on Di Yun?"

"Not at all, the Overlord of the Ma Family in Giant City is about to advance, the whole city is on high alert. Deep inside enemy territory, he didn’t dare to dig too deep," the woman replied.

"This Di Yun truly is enigmatic, he’s managed to hide so deeply; it seems his previous status was not low. Red Fury and Xue Yin must have planned to use this identity for something... Too bad, they died first." the man chuckled, "Anyway, these are minor issues. Mysterious or not, he’s one of us. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to investigate. For now, let’s prepare a grand gift for the soon-to-be Overlord of the Ma Family."

"Also, a believer of the Fifth God has definitely appeared. There’s suspicion of his followers being among the Wilderness Rangers. Report immediately if found."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Li Yelai also opened his eyes, and the Divine Chosen Face on his visage dispersed instantly.

He stood up from his seat, looking down at Jiang Yong and others.

"Lord Di Yun, what did the oracle say?" Jiang Yong asked respectfully.

Having just participated in the Blood God Chosen assembly, Li Yelai shared the information about the Chaos Fifth God.

He then asked, "When was the last time we made contact with the Wilderness Rangers?"

"The last time... that was fifteen years ago. For reasons unknown, they had gathered hundreds of hands, forcefully opened a sub-branch’s defenses, and with almost entire forces perished, they eliminated that Divine Chosen," Jiang Yong replied.

"So reckless?" Li Yelai frowned, the fighting strength of a sub-branch and the entire Giant City naturally couldn’t be compared.

But at least, there were several Sixth-sense Experts and even the Overlord stationed there.

The last time dealing with the hidden sub-branch beneath No.3 Border City required deploying a large force along with Processors and over a dozen captains, took by surprise to securely take down.

Such brute force frontal attack was a bit too violent.

"Their actions are always beyond reason. After investigation, it was discovered they attacked the Divine Chosen for money. Truly a bunch of madmen, what do they even need money for with their size?"

Jiang Yong agreed, "I have also heard they attacked officials in Giant City and even opposed Spiritual Ability Families. Anyway, they are an abstract organization. Forbidden Zone, Giant City, Families, Church, all have been their targets. And for the past dozen years, hardly any of their actions were heard. Possibly the elite were completely lost."

Li Yelai nodded, "Anyway, be cautious. The Fifth God’s followers surely have some tricks."

"Yes," Jiang Yong responded.

"Also, I have just advanced to the Fifth Sense and need to recuperate to stabilize the Soul Well. Let’s see if I can take a few steps forward riding on this momentum."

After the Fifth Sense, thirteen ’stairs’ appear in front of the Soul Well.

For each stair crossed, the Spiritual Energy and the physical body strengthens a bit, and crossing all thirteen stairs, one could reach the Sixth Sense!

Of course, many Spiritual Ability Users with insufficient talent will completely stall there.

And for the fast ones... like Doll, one second she’s cooking in the kitchen, next second she’s stepped onto a stair.

Her talent is just too astounding.

"Yes, please rest with ease, my lord. I will arrange for the best secluded place," Jiang Yong naturally wouldn’t object, in the Main Base, only Li Yelai could dominate him.

He literally hoped Li Yelai would meditate every day!

Li Yelai continued, "Also, after that, I need to head to No.2 Border City, get everything ready while I’m in seclusion."

Jiang Yong nodded continuously, "Rest assured!"

Following, Li Yelai returned to his room and informed his servants about his need to recuperate in seclusion and asked them to prepare enough food.

"My lord, shall we ask White Cliff Demon General to take care of you?" Gongsun Craftsman asked.

White Cliff also looked at Li Yelai expectantly, being alone with the worshipped Divine Chosen made her extremely happy.

However, Li Yelai waved his hand, "No need, having Hong Zhuang follow me is enough. Prepare yourselves; once I’m out, we’re heading to No.2 Border City."

"Yes," the servants responded with slightly odd expressions on their faces, seclusion with a beautiful personal maid? Are you secluding or honeymooning? If not for knowing Lord Di Yun’s high purity, they would have misconceived.

But actually, this has nothing to do with White Cliff’s looks or gender.

Li Yelai was heading for the Dead Sea Wreck, naturally, he would only trust his sole teammate, Little Mad King.

Moreover, he didn’t want to leave Little Mad King alone in the Main Base; it was too dangerous. The maid’s status was low, and she might encounter some problems.
