Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 776: Chapter 364 Countermeasures

When Li Yelai and his party rushed back to the temporary base, they saw several family teams preparing to leave.

Upon learning that a Calamity was about to descend upon the Immortal Palace, some external families had made their plans accordingly.

Some believed that there was no need to muddy the waters and that it would be best to give up on subsequent profits and leave the Immortal Palace as soon as possible.

Others thought that with the approaching Calamity, they still had a chance to fight back. If they could overcome the Calamity, perhaps they could gain even greater benefits.

Therefore, some families were preparing to evacuate from the Immortal Palace, some were standing by, and some were sending their core members out of the Immortal Palace while the rest stayed to hedge their bets.

It wasn’t their fault, for after the officials confirmed the reliability of this message,

even the officials themselves had different opinions, let alone the Spiritual Ability Families.

Li Yelai naturally would not say much, nor was there any need for moral coercion. He glanced at the family teams ready to set off and turned around to enter the base.

And outside the Doll’s resting room, he saw the Little Mad King.

She stood in the shadows, silently guarding outside the door.

She had promised Li Yelai that she would take good care of the Doll. So, even after returning to the base, she still guarded outside the Doll’s room.

“Thanks, teammate,” Li Yelai said in a low voice.

“It’s nothing, I had promised you after all.” The Little Mad King’s cold and beautiful face was still expressionless, “Due to the curse, the Doll’s condition is difficult to ascertain, but it is speculated that it might be a second personality… It might even be related to the Doll’s supernatural Spiritual Talent.”

The Doll’s Talent was terrifying, even if she herself was unwilling, her Spiritual Power Strength would gradually increase. The officials, considering her safety, even tried to suppress her Soul Well. However, they were still unable to stop that extremely terrifying Talent.

She was getting stronger all the time, and Li Yelai could feel her gradually climbing Spiritual Energy even when embracing her…

For a Spiritual Ability User, this was not necessarily a good thing; otherwise, the Doll would have already become the youngest Supreme, or even a King.

“I understand…” Li Yelai felt somewhat heavy-hearted. If only he could have killed Ye Han a step earlier, perhaps this risk would not have existed, “However, after I slayed Ye Han, I obtained his Divine Demon Stele. Perhaps… all of this is reversible.”

“Give it a try. Can you control how to use it?” asked the Little Mad King.

“I tested it on the way and figured out how to suppress the curse,” Li Yelai replied.

On the road, Li Yelai had consulted with Ye Boshou and conducted experiments.

That made Ye Boshou very surprised, saying his chronic leg pain was gone.

Unfortunately, the Divine Demon Stele could not suppress the Calamity of Li Yelai; otherwise, he would not have encountered Ba Snake and Yun Yue.

Afterward, Li Yelai informed the Little Mad King about his encounter with Yun Yue.

This caused the Little Mad King to frown her beautiful eyebrows, “She knows about your identity as an Ark Chosen One, and also about your Divine Chosen status?”

“Yes, she probably made contact with Chu He and linked all the clues together,” Li Yelai responded, “In order to completely kill Ye Han, I sacrificed his head directly. It was probably then that I was detected, the Wilderness Ranger is extremely sensitive to the aura of Chaos.”

“Actually, you could have put Ye Han’s body into storage space first and then found an opportunity to destroy it. You were too impatient. And this will always be a risk…” The Little Mad King frowned in thought, “But with her identity and combat power, we can’t eliminate her either.”

“We can only take one step at a time. I’ll go see the Doll first… and ask for a little help later.”

“Okay. I understand.”

“Thank you,” said Li Yelai, as he pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the room, the Doll, with her helmet off, was sitting in a chair and daydreaming, her delicate face hazy and beautiful in the sunset light.

She seemed a little melancholic, or perhaps pondering some issue. Her graceful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and it seemed as if darkness loomed in her eyes.

Possibly having heard the sound of the door opening, she shifted her gaze from the window and, upon seeing Li Yelai, her eyes twinkled, lighting up her eyes and making her smile all the more charming and beautiful.

She stepped forward and stretched out her arms to embrace Li Yelai, “You scared me; they wouldn’t let me go out…”

After the fall of the Heavenly Palace, she was extremely worried, but due to her condition, she could not leave the base.

“I’m fine,” Li Yelai said, gently stroking the girl’s head, “That Ye Han just had more tricks up his sleeve, his combat power is not even as good as Fen Xiao’s.”

“Is that voice… still there?” Li Yelai asked in a low voice.

The Doll shook her head, “At least, it’s not there now, but I don’t know when it will appear again…”

Li Yelai could clearly perceive that the girl was feeling a bit frightened and uneasy at this moment.

An existence that might affect her at any time and even replace her… How could she feel at ease?

“I killed Ye Han, and actually got his Divine Demon Stele, which is what he used to suppress and enhance the curse,”

Li Yelai looked into the Doll’s eyes and said, “This might, help you clear that voice in your head. Even if it doesn’t work, it might suppress your curse.”

The voice in the Doll’s mind had in fact been there for quite some time.

For a period after each promotion, that voice would appear, uttering some dark words in certain situations, bewitching the Doll.

But as the Doll gradually stabilized her level, the voice would disappear.

She had thought it was the corrupting power of Chaos; however, in the instant when the curse got amplified, that voice appeared again, louder than ever, and even affected the Doll’s actions at one point.
