Netherworld Retrograde

Various factions quietly arranged their strategies, as the situation began to fluctuate.

However, within No.1 Border City, Li Yelai was able to enjoy rare leisure time.

Could this be the calm before the storm?

Looking back, he's indeed been busy over the past six months, rushing tirelessly.

He participated in the Immortal Palace Battlefield, followed by a sprint to Ten Thousand Dragon Lake. Then he helped in Mountain City, which faced Disaster Fog, and after that, it was the Nether River...

If not on the battlefield, he was on the way to one.

His participation rate in large-scale battles was one hundred percent; indeed, he's a role model worker of Giant City.

Nowadays, it's rare to have time to properly accompany them.

After all, they're technically here on vacation too.

Doll is seen by the outside world as a powerful and iron-blooded warrior.

Enemies dying at her hands hardly have the luxury of a complete corpse.

That's true, given that she fights by manipulating air currents and pressure, making it even harder to leave a complete body.

And after Disaster Fog, Doll exudes a cold and proud aura.

Like a cold moon untouchable by others. mighty yet aloof and remote.

That was due to the 'evil corpse' Fear Empress from deep within her consciousness.

But in front of Li Yelai, she's always tender, accommodating and tolerating as before.

She almost never refuses his requests... even if those requests make her blush and her earlobes seem ready to bleed.

In response, Cheese with a sweet mouth yet venomous words quipped, "Go on, spoil him, you moody lovebrain!"

In conversations, Doll was never a match for Cheese, the 'experienced driver'.

Cheese is indeed a classic theorist.

Her candy-sweet lips open lightly, yet what comes out are phrases that make people blush, requiring a mosaic overlay.

In this aspect, even ten Li Yelai's paired with Doll could never match her.

Of course, occasionally they couldn't comprehend some of her words.

But in terms of practical skills...

After triggering Rainbow Through the Sun about twenty times, she no longer kept her stubbornness.

And her pleas for mercy were silenced by fiery or tender lips, making her aware of the cost of empty talk.

...

In the shadows gathered not just enemies and Chaos.

While strolling with Cheese and Doll on the street, Li Yelai felt the tremor of the Ranger Coin.

Seemingly, two Rangers were exchanging information. But alas, they drifted out of contact range before they could engage.

Soon thereafter, a murder case emerged.

In No.1 Border City, an area's Guard Hall chief, a big company's boss, and several criminals with records simultaneously went missing.

Ultimately discovered in a basement full of torture devices and cages, they were brutally plastered on the walls. Not a single piece of intact flesh was found, their bodies and bones crushed completely.

And their heads appeared, faces frozen in horror, before the grave of a girl whose cause of death remained a mystery.

As expected, this was the work of Wilderness Rangers.

Compared to so-called legal procedures, they trust their own power, upholding justice and righteousness in their hearts.

It's why many in Giant City view them unfavorably.

But the occurrence of such a case indicated the presence of Rangers in No.1 Border City.

They used the blood and bones of criminals to deter potential injustices.

However, Li Yelai's Ranger Coin couldn't communicate with them, probably due to being too distant.

The next day, Jing Family Trading Team arrived in No.1 Border City, accompanied by a larger contingent of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

Among Jing Family's Trading Team, Li Yelai saw Lord Jing Lin and other skilled members of Jing Family, along with several familiar Rangers. And, Green Flame Divine Choice Yun Yue!

The relationship between Jing Family and the Ninth Generation Champion is an open secret.

Thus, Jing Family's Trading Team inviting the Champion and others to gather wasn't abrupt.

And so, at night in a room thoroughly guarded,

those in the know gathered together.

"Old Li, Old Li, baiting yourself, you never know what god-like creatures you might attract," Jing Lin sighed. "I've brought two thousand Imitative Heavenly Soldiers. Hope that's enough."

"Four thousand Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, and I've brought the Heavenly Soldier Furnace. It's just fishing, not confronting Disaster Fog. Plenty." Li Yelai chuckled, then turned to Yun Yue, "Troubling you again, Lord Yun Yue."

Yun Yue sat at the dinner table, sporting a ponytail, with residual coldness on her body.

Doll thoughtfully handed her a bowl of hot soup, driving away the chill from her body.

That's her curse; every so often, her body temperature plummets drastically, and even her breaths reveal frost.

It's caused her numerous inconveniences. But fortunately, this time, under the cover of Jing Family's Trading Team, triggering the curse hasn't caused her any trouble.

And as she approached Li Yelai, the curse suppression from the Divine Demon Stele further quelled the coldness in her body.

Her previously pale complexion gained some rosiness.

Drinking the hot soup, Yun Yue gently nodded, "We are enemies with the walkers by nature. But you, the Champion. Using yourself as bait is risky; you should be cautious. The walkers hide in the shadows of the world, quietly moving the gears of destiny."

"Do you mean there might be walkers hiding within Giant City?" Li Yelai inquired.

"Yes, absolutely," Yun Yue replied. "That's why my fellow Rangers, using the most fitting method, punished the criminals—to distract the walkers. Our main force will sneak into Giant City under Lord Jing Lin's cover."

"Plastering walls, truly a unique Ranger tendency," Jing Lin quipped.

Li Yelai made no comment since... he too had this bad habit. Just last time he had plastered a Divine Chosen...

"Walkers lurking inside Giant City... and a top-notch assassin capable of injuring a Supreme," Li Yelai contemplated for a moment and said, "Leave the Biomimetic Tear Drop in Giant City. If the walkers intend to move against me, they will definitely target Captain Yang Chen, and the Biomimetic Tear Drop might turn the tide."

"That's nothing to worry about," Yun Yue said. "We've brought the Blessing Arrow!"

As she spoke, a flash appeared as space fluctuated in her hand.

She revealed a wooden box, with three bronze arrows lying inside.

Ordinary arrows, devoid of any Spiritual Energy fluctuations, without a hint of oppression.

But Li Yelai knew that at the right moment, against the right target,

they would ignite with the green flame of despair!

They had once annihilated an Overlord and severely injured a Supreme.

This was the blessing given by the Master of Green Flames to the Rangers.

Green Flame Arrow!

"We will deploy two arrows to break the enemy," Yun Yue said, picking up one bronze arrow and handing it to Li Yelai. "And this one, we'll entrust to you—it will undoubtedly tear through the despairing night!"

Li Yelai was momentarily stunned, being a Four Gods' Choice, he doubted he could harness the power of the Master of Green Flames.

But then he quickly realized: he indeed couldn't, but the Dawn Monarch could!
