Capítulo 838: Chapter 391: I, Emperor’s Fall, Am Robbing! (Part 2)

“Everything comes at a price… He has been through too much, concealing his identity from officials and Wilderness Rangers, not even daring to use the blessing of our Lord.”

The stone statue sighed: “If at that time he had activated the Divine Favor and our Lord’s power had descended, how could the Soul Well have been damaged? But in doing so, he would have been killed by Giant City and the Rangers first. He chose to go hard for the sake of the Church’s interest. Being able to survive is already a blessing.”

“I know!” Zhu Tu frowned: “But the Holy Wood Mandala is too precious… It has an effect on everyone below the King…”

“But you cannot ignore this request. Emperor’s Fall is the Chosen of the Dual Gods. If he is damaged because of your request, hindering his advancement or slowing it down, our Lord and that Father of Plague would be very displeased too.” The stone statue reminded: “Moreover, your likelihood of successfully advancing to Supreme is not low, and you don’t need Mandala assistance.”

Zhu Tu pondered for a long time, then sighed: “Alas… Emperor’s Fall truly is a Calamity Star…”

Then, he issued an order to deliver the Holy Wood Mandala as quickly as possible to the hands of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One.

“However, I would like to know, have Emperor’s Fall investigated the intelligence of those two futures and send me a copy.”

…

Meanwhile, at a hidden base outside Molten Lava Giant City, inside a certain chamber where jade bodies lay across.

Luo Duo, the Chosen One of the Eternal Life Sect, looked at the belief in his hand and took a sharp breath.

“No… that Demon General is asking too much, and you don’t block her a bit?” Luo Duo said in surprise to the Blood God Faction believers who came to deliver the message: “Do you think such compensation is reasonable?”

“The Eternal Life Sect participated in this Immortal Palace action but did not provide any effective assistance. Our Blood God Faction not only had a Chosen One personally enter the scene but even summoned the Chaos Demon Army.”

The Blood God Faction believer looked at the large bed behind Luo Duo, where several beautiful women lay naked: “During Lord Di Yun’s bloody battle, you seem to be quite well.”

“Ha.” Luo Duo chuckled lightly, suddenly the speaking believer’s body stiffened, and then his facial muscles began to melt. His face, still somewhat handsome, turned into a viscous liquid, dripping from his flesh.

Yet he clenched his teeth, saying nothing, emitting no cry of pain.

A few seconds later, his face was completely torn off, and his eyeless, drooping eyes seemed indifferent to everything that had happened.

“Quite a group of madmen indeed, for the sake of Emperor’s Fall, I’ll spare your miserable life.” Luo Duo sneered: “This action was originally aimed at the Wilderness Ranger, incidentally grabbing some good stuff, we equally lost hundreds of good hands.”

This Chaos Faction operation was primarily to exterminate the Wilderness Rangers, who would have known such a situation would arise? Otherwise, encircling the Rangers and human elites with tens of thousands of Chaos Demon Army would be effortless. That’s why Luo Duo did not plan to enter, for it was dangerous and unnecessary.

At least, Emperor’s Fall has official cover; if Luo Duo himself were discovered, wouldn’t you believe the human elites wouldn’t bother with the Immortal Palace and instead group up to hunt him down?

However, Emperor’s Fall indeed paid dearly. As the offspring of the Father of Plague, his own brother, Luo Duo indeed must make some gesture.

“Go back and tell Emperor’s Fall. His brother Luo Duo will assist him, so he need not worry.” Luo Duo spoke: “Additionally, tell him to walk more on the Life Path. If descendants are born, our Lord will grant a blessing.”

“Yes… but later… that point, our Blood God Faction… can achieve too.” Responded the faceless Blood God believer vaguely due to his exposed gums. After saluting, he began bandaging his wounds, turning to leave.

Once the Blood God Faction believer left the base, someone spoke: “Luo Duo Chosen One, are you truly going to offer Jiarong, Jibai, and Vajra Huai Wood?”

“We still have cultivation of Jiarong and Jibai at the Main Base. Naturally, Lord Di Yun can acquire them. But Vajra Huai Wood…”

Jiarong, a marvelous Spirit Plant from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

There’s a poem that says, ‘Red Leaves and Red Blossoms, beautiful yet not fruitful, named Jiarong, consuming it shields from Thunder.’

After consuming, one can gain Thunder Resistance.

And Jibai, similar to Shatang Fruit, can grant Extreme Cold Resistance.

These two Spirit Plants, the Eternal Life Sect indeed has a certain yield. At worse, they come forward for once and deliver a few years’ yields to Emperor’s Fall.

Vajra Huai Wood is very rare, capable of enhancing the physique, like Vajra.

Luo Duo once consumed Vajra Huai Wood, strengthening his physical body.

But it is exceedingly rare, even the Eternal Life Sect only has a few portions.

“No choice, this time it’s indeed our oversight.” Luo Duo said, “My brother indeed faces severe misfortune. With those two future civilizations… He surviving is already difficult, this time, let’s satisfy him. As a brother, I cannot be stingy.”

Though it certainly pains…

Subsequently, Luo Duo said: “Moreover, thereafter, we must investigate the history of those two future civilizations. If we can acquire future intelligence, it won’t be in vain. This also requires the help of Emperor’s Fall brother, let’s consider it as early payment.”

“Understood!”

Meanwhile, watching the believer with his face torn off, Bai Ya remained silent for a moment then said: “You’ve done well, Lord Di Yun will know your actions. I will recommend you to Lord Di Yun as the second Demon General.”

“Yes.” The believer now wearing a mask responded: “For the sake of Lord Di Yun!”

Bai Ya nodded slightly, then continued: “Remaining trouble comes with that Deceit Dao believer. He will always be a risk, and he knows Lord Di Yun’s identity, we must find him immediately to silence him. Everyone, Lord Di Yun’s prestige is at its peak locally, we must guard him even more meticulously.”

“As it should be! He will undoubtedly ascend the summit!” The believers replied in unison.

….

While Li Yelai remained unaware, Bai Ya and the others had already secured sufficient resources for him.

He hadn’t even reached out to Bai Ya and them.

As an undercover, he was always waiting to be contacted.

Moreover, at present, Li Yelai also does not have time, he’s researching his Heavenly Soldier Furnace.

The authorities have acquired a large Heavenly Soldier Furnace capable of rapidly mass-producing Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

And Li Yelai’s furnace probably is a prototype.

Although it similarly allows items to be autonomously refined into Heavenly Soldiers, the quantity is not quite there. It cannot achieve rapid mass production.

Thus, Yin Fire let Li Yelai carry it along, perhaps in the battlefield, able to kill and refine on the spot.

Li Yelai is also investigating its refining effect, his Merit Points are numerous, easily exchanged for materials for experimentation.

If researched successfully, Li Yelai himself could refine Heavenly Soldiers to protect his near and dear ones. Anyway, Li Yelai’s Merit Points are plenty, not afraid of lacking materials.

Prepared for little sister, Starfire, and the others; in danger, just throw out the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers. A sort of minor trump card indeed.

Furthermore, afterwards, Li Yelai can conduct transactions within the ark.

Just like back in the day with the Black Umbrella, providing electors with supplies and rewards, while he refined Ash Summoning Items for them. This made him the most popular trader within the ark.

Li Yelai can replicate once, refining Imitative Heavenly Soldiers for them.

This allows him to more efficiently trade for supplies and intelligence.

Moreover, Heavenly Soldiers won’t be controlled by non-humanoid species, regarded as a safeguard indeed.

During other times, Li Yelai accompanies the Doll, quietly recuperating together.

Then… the two verified the negative effect of the Rainbow Through the Sun blessing….

Ahem…

After this Immortal Palace incident, the Doll’s delicate face was tinged with gloom.

She saw future scenes in the Causality Strike.

That future her, terrifying and cruel…

Simultaneously, the hidden dangerous presence lurking in her consciousness also made her uneasy.

The Doll feared that upon Awakening, she would transform into someone else and harm those around her, like in that future…

More than once she awoke startled from sleep.

Watching the tearful-eyed girl, Li Yelai could only embrace her softly, comforting her.
