Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 392: Chapter 187 Gretwin

The existence of the ark established a connection between the officials and Li Yelai.

This gave everyone a certain confidence and allowed the officials to cooperate accordingly.

If there was an enemy most likely to appear during this operation, it would be the overlord of this area.

The forbidden zone was vast, divided into several regions, each seated by an overlord-level entity except for the core area.

If the execution was indeed a trap, then the six-winged angel, an overlord-level creature of the forbidden zone that occupied this region, would surely take action!

And the beings at the overlord level, who were said to be nearing the divine category, including Little Mad King and everyone else, would be violently crushed.

Though Li Yelai did not know how the officials planned to block an overlord-level entity, their guarantee was in place.

The pressure faced by Li Yelai and his companions suddenly decreased.

”But headquarters also indicated that the blockade will only be in place on the third day,” Long Lie said, ”This means if we attack the prison now, we will not receive any help.”

Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but they also understood.

After all, the officials also needed time to make preparations, and being ready just before the deadline in three days was already quite good.

However, Li Yelai and his people could no longer forcibly breach the prison in Silver Mountain City.

Without the officials blocking the forbidden zone, their chances of failing the operation were too high—they might not only fail to rescue their people but also end up trapped themselves.

Of course, if it really came to a certain defeat, Li Yelai would still choose to explode.

Even without Mr. Shadow, he could still explode!

Don’t forget, he also had the Lucky Wheel!

The effects of the Lucky Wheel were quite astonishing; those who were lucky could spin out three enhancement blessings in a single go.

But for the unlucky ones, it was hard to say.

Many years ago, it had been obtained by someone from the Ember Church.

As a result, the Ember Church screwed themselves over.

Some poor fellow spun a cataclysm with extremely low odds.

They spun out a massive earthquake, killing all the believers in one fell swoop.

If Li Yelai activated the Face after turning it on, directly spinning a level nine earthquake, or a volcanic eruption, or perhaps a super tornado or some other cataclysm...

’None of you will get to live!’ Li Yelai thought wildly in his mind, but verbally he said, ”We can’t attack the prison in advance. But on the brighter side, in these three days, perhaps more members of Ye Boshou’s team will arrive here.”

In despair, people can choose to erupt violently and kill, but maybe not even a single person would be killed.

And luck... or perhaps misfortune?

In any case, when Li Yelai erupts, he really could take a lot of people with him.

Long Lie and Gu Yue gave a slight nod and then continued, ”Then, there’s that convoy from Black Origin City. The intelligence network of Giant City shows that it comes from Black Origin City, the direct descendant of Jade Blood Supreme, and a rather well-known spiritual ability craftsman within Black Origin City. The creatures within the forbidden zone call him Master Gretwin.”

”He has crafted spiritual ability equipment for several overlord creatures, and given his lineage, his status in the forbidden zone is not low, and he holds a title. His own combat ability is at the Five Senses Divine Protection Path.”

A direct descendant of Supreme...

Li Yelai nodded slightly, not particularly shocked.

Jing Lin was also a direct descendant of a Supreme; his great-grandfather was the Supreme Chongwu.

But what Gu Yue said next surprised Li Yelai slightly: ”Headquarters said, Night General... you possibly could make contact and use him, but must not expose yourself, if exposed, you must silence him!”

”Although I know you carried out some super high-clearance secret mission, you even had contact with a supreme in the forbidden zone?” Long Lie clucked in amazement.

The others too were puzzled and shocked. They were unclear what secret the officials were hiding or why Li Yelai could have contact with the supreme of the forbidden zone—meeting him should have resulted in being crushed to death with a single finger.

”Let me make contact?” Li Yelai paused, then understood.

It seemed the officials had figured out ’Jin Shan’s’ identity.

After all, the Book Holder had revealed a lot, having faced off against the fifth-generation Champion and achieved the status of Supreme in the years that followed; he should not have been hard to investigate.

”Jin Shan was the Jade Blood Supreme!”

”Very well, Jin Shan you old thing, your horse armor is finally revealed!!!”

”Wait, so is Gretwin a descendant of that dog thief Jin Shan?”

”Good! Good! Good!”

And so, Li Yelai said, ”Now I understand... The Jade Blood Supreme is the main culprit behind the Fantasy Band incident!”

As soon as he spoke these words, everyone’s face changed.

A few seconds later, Long Lie sneered, ”Then this Master Gretwin must die here!”

At the Fantasy Band event, nearly 100,000 casualties occurred at No.3 Border City!

Many families were shattered. It was also one of the instigators of the riot in the various branches of Black Prison. How many civilians, how many comrades died in that incident?

Just the team guarding the Black Prison then, Champion Team One, had hundreds of comrades injured or killed!

This vengeance, we shall begin by retaliating against the descendants of the Jade Blood Supreme!

No matter what, Gretwin will not leave Silver Mountain City alive!”

”How will you make contact with him?” Long Lie asked, ”Night General, can you disclose it?”

Long Lie and the others were aware of the high confidentiality of Li Yelai’s mission, but they needed some details to make appropriate countermeasures.

”Well, I can’t say much,” Li Yelai nodded slightly, ”but I can tell you that I have a token from the Jade Blood Supreme. That bastard told me showing this token would grant me the protection of Black Origin City, and all the creatures there would protect me. If I show up with this token, he might welcome me in.”

Everyone was even more astonished.

With just this token, Li Yelai could gain the protection of the Forbidden Zone Supreme. How many illegal organizations would kill for this?

Gu Yue paused and then laughed, ”You see, some people even when granted protection by the Forbidden Zone Supreme don’t betray humanity. Others, for the sake of becoming so-called angels, commit treason directly.”

”Hey, sometimes the difference between people can be greater than the difference between kings and ordinary folks!”

After mocking Mei Wu for a bit, Long Lie continued, ”So what’s your plan? Direct contact?”

”That’s too conspicuous. At this critical moment, a human in the Forbidden Zone seeking out another person from the Forbidden Zone is too stark.” The Little Mad King spoke.

”Hmm... We need a more suitable identity...” Li Yelai pondered.

”Then you guys keep discussing. We’ll go do some scouting,” Chasing Wind said.

In the room, several members of the Netherworld Path, Ye Boshou, disappeared into the shadows equipped with Spiritual Ability Equipment or Taboo Items.

The Little Mad King also vanished within the room.

...

Meanwhile, in the giant cathedral at the center of Silver Light City.

Gretwin from Black Origin City stood in the center of the hall.

He wore a black Battle Armor, with thick black hair cascading onto his shoulders, adding a wild demeanor.

But the most striking feature was the deformed horns growing from his forehead and left cheek.

These horns were deep black, bent, and sharp, like tree branches sprouting from beneath his face.

He looked decidedly sinister and terrifying.

Yet his eyes were looking upwards with a soft gaze.

Behind the deep curtains of the hall, a graceful figure in red gauze lazily sat in a high position.

”It’s been a long time, Master Gretwin...” The woman behind the curtain laughed softly, her words filled with endless allure, ”I didn’t expect you to come in person.”

”Indeed, it has been a long time,” Gretwin replied softly, ”Mei Wu, as per our agreement, I have brought my finest creation for you. It will surely satisfy the Overlord...”

He slightly lifted his hand, and a Golden Armored Knight stepped forward with a wooden case, which upon opening revealed an ancient Black Gold long spear. The black shaft was engraved with a golden dragon, which seemed alive, coiling on the shaft as if ready to roar.

”My greatest masterpiece, the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear!”

(I went to dinners at my father-in-law’s, got back too late, only managed to write 2000...)
