Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 785: Chapter 367 Charge!

When Li Yelai crossed the barrier and entered the valley battlefield in an instant.

The hearts of both the officials and the Church clenched.

The officials made every effort to speed up breaking through the barrier, intending to maintain the rift as much as possible and channel combat power from the outside world.

“The Night General Captain… is from the Jing Family?” someone asked incredulously.

The Jing Family hailed from the distant Yaoqing Giant City, while the Night General was a resident of No.3 Border City.

Thousands of kilometers and several Forbidden Zones and dangerous areas separated them.

Given how the Spiritual Ability Family values bloodlines, even members lacking Spiritual Talent would be arranged within the Giant City to manage familial businesses.

Why would a Champion Agent be lost? Could it be that a bloodline member was accidentally left behind when the Jing Family caravan passed through No.3 Border City?

Captain Huo was also shocked; he had never received such intelligence.

However, a strong individual familiar with the Jing Family remarked, “I remember over twenty years ago, a daughter from the Three Branches of the Jing Family was kidnapped by Scavengers, upsetting several waves of Jing Family strongmen. The Jing Family conducted extensive searches for years but ultimately only declared the daughter dead.”

“Scavengers? Kidnapped? With the enormous power of the Jing Family, how could a member be kidnapped?” someone asked with a frown.

In this era, families wield immense power.

If Scavengers dared such an act, they, along with all their relatives, even their dogs, would suffer consequences.

“That might just be a public statement, maybe it was an elopement.”

“I just want to know, what kind of Scavenger could defeat several rounds of Spiritual Ability Users… Oh, could it be a Wilderness Ranger?”

“Is the Night General actually the descendant of that Jing Family lady?”

“More importantly, could his father possibly be a Wilderness Ranger?” someone’s expression changed drastically. That would mean he is a descendant of Chaos believers.

Even if the Wilderness Ranger appeared harmless and fair, he was a follower of the Fifth God. Doesn’t that make him a Chaos believer?

An official captain whose father is a Chaos believer? This fact made many people change their expressions. Before the Calamity, such a political background check probably wouldn’t pass, right?

“During that period, the Ranger might not have been a follower of the Fifth God,” Captain Huo said. “Besides, the Night General has long proven his stance and beliefs through his actions. Even if his father was a Chaos believer, or even Chaos Chosen! He is currently fighting for humanity, he is our captain, he is our Champion Agent! Whoever stirs trouble here, the Huo Family will not let it slide lightly!”

Meanwhile, the Church members awaited the prayer of the Chaos Chosen.

Being a Chaos Chosen, in a special space like the Immortal Palace, which lies between the Physical World and the Void Realm.

They could summon the Chaos Demon Army directly in the Void Realm through the Chaos Ritual!

If it were in the Physical World, summoning the Demon Army might require a blood sacrifice of half the population of a Giant City, but now within the Immortal Palace, eighty-eight altars are sufficient!

Eighty-eight altars, each altar bearing eighty-eight skulls. These came from either fallen Spiritual Ability Users or Extraordinary Creatures, as well as sacrifices prepared in advance by the Church.

And ‘eight’ is the sacred number of the Blood God, enhancing the connection to the power of Chaotic Divinity.

For the Church, the Immortal Palace is the perfect site for a descent.

Here, the thresholds required for sacrifice and Ascend Demon are greatly reduced; if they could fully control this world, their power would grow significantly. Of course, the probability of corruption would also increase.

At the same time, this is why, they were concerned about the Wilderness Ranger.

The benefits applicable to them are also applicable to the Ranger. They are both believers of the Chaos Divinity.

Thus, the Church suspected that here the Rangers might summon the Green Flame Demon Army, or engage in actions like Ascend Demon.

“As long as the Chaos Demon Army launches their attack, everything will start to improve!” Bai Ya thought to herself. As for the lineage of Lord Di Yun, she didn’t care. Whether a Ranger or the Jing Family. He is now the great Dual-God Chosen!

Meanwhile, the Wilderness Ranger too had learned of this intelligence.

A Ranger was pleasantly surprised: “Elope? Awesome, which senior was it that eloped with the Jing Family lady?”

“The Night General Captain’s father is a Ranger… did he also inherit the coin?”

“I’ve always said, the Night General Captain is suited to be a Ranger.”

“Running off with the Champion Agent, Champion Yang Chen might be beating us up?”

Yet, Yun Yue was not surprised. She had seen images previously and knew about the Night General’s situation, even more… more deeply…

Shortly after, Yun Yue spoke about the coin: “Folks, stop chatting, head straight to Jing Family Palace! I sense the presence of comrades!”

…

On the other hand, Li Yelai and Jing Lin’s party, after entering the barrier, rushed towards the valley depths.

By now, Li Yelai had not concealed his identity from Jing Lin.

Otherwise, this chap might even start to think that Li Yelai was some illegitimate child of his father or grandfather.

“Brother, my mother, Jin Cuihua, actually had another name,” Li Yelai continued without stopping, his voice emitted from beneath his faceplate, “Jing Lian.”

This revelation changed Jing Lin’s complexion, and several other Jing Family strongmen were also deeply shaken.

They were all too familiar with that name, the female member of the Jing Family with the highest compatibility with Divine Blood in history. She was supposed to have become the Divine Son’s Mother more than twenty years ago.

But in an accident, she was kidnapped by Scavengers… The family claimed publicly she had been murdered, but some said she had run away herself.

She did not want to become the Divine Son’s Mother, nor bear a monstrous Divine Son. But her father and siblings were unable to help her.
