Netherworld Retrograde

The Little Mad King's figure appeared beside Li Yelai like a ghost, without the slightest warning. Her bizarre way of materializing instantly put all the Law City powerhouses, including Chang Hui, on hair‑trigger alert, subconsciously entering the highest state of vigilance.

In Li Yelai's field of vision, on that strange "System" panel, the data bars representing Chang Hui and the others fluctuated violently, the relationship values changing at high speed before finally freezing at an unsettling number.

[Relationship: -60] (Terror)

Yes, under the influence of the Little Mad King's "Suspicion" curse, her terrifying stealth—so ghostly she could even fool a Divine Chosen—didn't make the Human powerhouses feel safe in the least. Instead, it triggered the deepest Fear and suspicion.

With strength like that, if she were an enemy, they probably wouldn't even get the chance to notice before being instantly killed in utter silence!

Especially the Law Hero, Chang Hui.

Right now, a chill was spreading through his heart. His True Word Jade Law covered and monitored the entirety of Law City, and this place was the absolute central area of the city—supposedly where the True Word Jade Law's effect was strongest and its perception was the keenest.

Yet, it wasn't until the instant before the Little Mad King took the initiative to reveal herself that he barely managed to catch the faintest ripple—and… that very likely was still the result of her deliberately exposing herself.

This infiltration ability that completely exceeded his control and understanding made this Guardian of Law City feel an unprecedented sense of threat.

Thus, even though he clearly heard Li Yelai's reminder, "She's one of us," his body's instincts were still faster than reason. The Divinity around him began to stir uncontrollably, full of vigilance.

This scene made Li Yelai sigh inwardly. The hostility and relationship changes simulated by this bizarre "System" felt a little too real.

Without any hesitation, Li Yelai moved his mind and directly activated the Divine Demon Stele deep within the Soul Well, instantly suppressing and neutralizing the curse's effect.

Although the Little Mad King had always worn a cold, world‑weary, expressionless face that said "strangers keep away," as if she didn't care at all about the wariness and hostility around her…

Li Yelai knew that she was actually cold on the outside and warm within, a girl somewhat habitually inclined to look after others. She would quietly remember her teammates' preferences and protect her companions' backs in battle in the most reliable way.

So, with her present, Li Yelai could throw himself into the slaughter. Any gap he couldn't account for, and any chilly glint of a sneak attack, would be erased by the Little Mad King.

It was just a pity that damned "Suspicion" curse prevented outsiders from glimpsing that warmth inside her; they would only instinctively respond to her with distance and doubt.

The power of the Divine Demon Stele quietly took effect; the Fear and suspicion that were about to overflow from Chang Hui's eyes gradually faded.

On the "System" panel in Li Yelai's sight, the [Relationship] value also instantly returned to 20.

Chang Hui frowned in some confusion, as if he didn't understand why he had just lost his composure like that, or why he had felt such a strong rejection toward an "ally" who had been fighting shoulder to shoulder with him only moments ago.

The other Hero Candidates also recovered in an instant. The suspicion in their eyes vanished; instead, they looked at the Little Mad King with either amazement or curiosity.

The Little Mad King was still wearing the Wanfeng City Battle Skirt, heroic and striking. Those long legs of hers made the female candidates sigh inwardly that her legs were longer than their lives.

But why did I feel that kind of hostility toward her?

Hostility toward a girl who had just been helping them fight the Chaos Chosen, and whose looks were stunning on top of that?

The candidates pondered silently, but could not find an answer.

The Little Mad King, meanwhile, sat down on the chair beside Li Yelai, took up the chopsticks, and began eating quickly and efficiently.

Li Yelai pushed the dishes he hadn't touched over to her and asked, "How is it? Did you run into any trouble?"

"No." The Little Mad King didn't stop eating; she seemed quite hungry. While drinking some water, she squeezed out the time to reply, "A bit simpler than I expected."

"A valley about six hundred kilometers from Law City, relatively hidden."

"I also managed to find the Chaos Camp's Miracle, but there's only one, and it's being protected far more tightly."

By the time the Little Mad King finished saying this, she had already cleared the food in front of her, and after a questioning look, she reached out and took the food in front of Li Yelai.

Li Yelai didn't mind, instead pondering, "So there's only one Divine Chosen in that place? That's a bit few… isn't it the Main Base?"

"No, even if it's the Main Base, they shouldn't put all their Miracles together. You can't put all your eggs in one basket." the Little Mad King replied.

Only now did Chang Hui realize that this girl had not only found the Chaos believers' base, she had actually gone deep inside and seen the Miracle.

"Stronger than expected…" Chang Hui praised inwardly, then asked, "Are you intending to launch a surprise attack on the Eternal Life Faction's base?"

"Yeah, you know my ability." Li Yelai answered, reminding him not to forget that he could seize control of the Chaos Army.

The Little Mad King had followed the Tear Plague Chosen precisely so Li Yelai could take over more smoothly!

Indeed, as a Divine Chosen who had appeared out of nowhere, the Believers wouldn't believe in him and wouldn't obey him. But those Chaos Armies—twisted from Chaos believers and filled with Chaos will—would only obey orders that came from a higher‑authority holder within that Sect.

Now it could already be confirmed that Li Yelai's authority was higher than that of all Chaos Chosen.

As for those believers, whether they listened or not no longer mattered; the greatest violent force of the Chaos Faction was already in Li Yelai's hands.
