Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 286 The Great City Shakes

This sudden turn of events terrified the voters of the Ark.

Two sixth-sense psychics met an instantaneous end, one dead and the other injured, before them.

Who could not be terrified?

That's a six-sense psychic!
On the side of the giant city, this is a captain-level powerhouse.

Within the restricted area, those in charge are at least city lords or similar figures, possessing vast resources.

In the wilderness, a six-sense psychic can dominate a region and become a local tyrant.

As a result, two dignified Sixth Sense beings were gone just like that. They weren't even able to put up any resistance.

This left many unawakened voters in a daze.

Even the strongest individuals in the second and third rings were utterly shocked.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a scene within the Ark Gathering. The 'star' who had been communicating with them just moments before exploded into a bloody mist.

"Captain! What's going on? Has the Ark been attacked?" the human overlord in the third ring asked.

"It has nothing to do with the Ark; it was their physical bodies in the physical world that were suddenly attacked." The captain's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"The star just unleashed his power, not to attack you all, but to defend against or repel a sudden perceived threat. Yet, he still couldn't escape this misfortune. His body was blasted apart, his Soul Well exploded, and he died instantly. The Phantom, however, is still alive."

Many voters turned pale; entering the ark was indeed their most dangerous moment.

Their psionic projections will be brought into the ark, but their physical bodies will be in a state similar to slumber, completely unprepared.

Therefore, Ark voters would usually enter the Ark from a safe location.

Only the situation in Chuhe is special, so we don't need to be so particular.

Without any hesitation, 'Wolf Map', who was in the fourth seat, instantly transformed into a pillar of light and left the Ark.

As an Ark Chosen One active in Border City Two, he must have some connection with Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng. He might even be one of the masterminds behind the Ember Church's current conspiracy. Now, seeing the two in trouble, he certainly wouldn't dare stay in the Ark any longer and quickly returned to the physical world.

Li Yelai witnessed this scene and sneered inwardly.

"Panic, aren't you? Yeah, you're the only one left, you beast!"

There were five people who were the masterminds behind the Fantasy Band incident.

Golden armor, black umbrella, star, phantom, wolf image.

Golden Armor is long dead, Black Umbrella was executed by Li Yelai, and now Star Qin is dead, while Phantom is seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Only one wolf picture is left, hahaha. He can't escape!

It seems that some Ark voters have also noticed this.

"Oh ho, karma's come to pass." The voter chuckled. "Back then, to test the old Mad King, they used the Song of Extinction in Border City No. 3, killing tens of thousands of people. It also dealt a terrible blow to the city's government, resulting in the deaths of many officials. Now... karma's come to pass!"

"You reap what you sow! Wolf, you'll be next if I'm not mistaken!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

It's unclear whether Wolf Image heard the voters' laughter.

With Wolf's departure, some Ark voters began evacuating the Ark. They were frightened and needed to return as soon as possible to check their protective measures.

Both Akito and Yagyu were veteran members and should have had considerable defensive capabilities around them. Yet, they were still assassinated, leaving many Ark voters with lingering fear.

So, Li Yelai took this opportunity to leave the ark.

Before leaving, he glanced at Jing Lin beside him, who nodded slightly, indicating that he would deliver the information.

The next second, a white light appeared, transforming into a pillar of light that disappeared into the Ark Hall.

When Li Yelai returned to the physical world, he opened his eyes and saw Little Mad King standing at the window.

"Welcome back, my teammate." Little Mad King turned to look at Li Yelai.

"That wandering swordsman still made his move." Li Yelai got up, changed out of his suit, and quickly said, "Qin Zhi is confirmed dead, but Liu Sheng seems to still be alive."

"Yes. I know." Little Mad King drew back the curtains and pointed into the distance.

Li Yelai changed into a windbreaker, walked to the window, and witnessed a shocking scene.

The mountains and forests were picturesque, but now they have been slashed across by someone. Even from a great distance, Li Yelai could see a deep gash over a thousand meters long tearing through the mountains and forests, and running straight through a villa in the middle of the road.

That villa was the accommodation arranged by the church for Qin Zhi and the others. Located halfway up the mountain, Li Ye could barely see the villa from his window. Now, however, he could see a deep gash, within which blue flames flickered and slowly died out.

"What level is that wandering swordsman?" Li Yelai was surprised. The power of this arrow was probably comparable to Li Yelai's Annihilation Lightning.

"Judging from that fleeting fluctuation of spiritual energy, it should be the Fifth Sense. But that arrow is quite remarkable; I sensed a powerful force from the Void Realm empowering it. It might be a weapon blessed by the gods, just like your Blood God Sevenfold Shield and Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd," Little Mad King replied.

Li Yelai's seven-layered shield and black-gold dragon-patterned halberd were both blessed by the Blood God, possessing considerable defensive and offensive capabilities.

These are called divine gifts, and simply possessing these two items is enough to earn the respect of the church.

The reason that wilderness ranger was able to unleash such a terrifying arrow from beyond visual range was because that arrow was also a gift from the gods, blessed by them.
It seems that this wilderness ranger, like Chu He, is a follower of the fifth god of chaos!

"That arrow was too fast; it was so fast that the villa was destroyed the instant I sensed the psionic fluctuations. Only after it was destroyed did traces of it appear in the forest. This arrow alerted all the psionicists in the entire city!"

"Even I am not confident of dodging such arrows. It's as if they have already traveled countless distances and hit the target the moment they are shot."

Little Mad King gave it extremely high praise.

She was already the strongest stealth master in the city, and her movement speed was frighteningly fast.

Even she wasn't confident she could dodge it, which shows how terrifying that arrow was.
too strong!
Li Yelai was shocked. If the Wilderness Ranger knew about his Blood God's Chosen One, he would probably have saved that arrow for him, right? Then his death would have been too unjust!

Just then, an anxious voice came from the doorway: "My lord!"

It was Cheng Mei, and indeed, at this distance, the church's allies were attacked, and the members were naturally terrified.

This is also why Li Yelai returned to the physical world ahead of schedule.

Li Yelai pushed open the door and saw Cheng Mei, who was covered in cold sweat. She quickly said, "My lord, our ally, Lord Qin Zhi, has been attacked and is suspected to be a follower of the Fifth God."

“I saw it,” Li Yelai said coldly. “How is Qin Zhi? Has he found the enemy? Has the authorities been alerted?”

"Qin's condition is unknown, and our people are on their way to the scene. The enemy is nowhere to be found, but the official investigators have also been alerted and are rapidly approaching. We dare not pursue them any further." Cheng Mei quickly replied, "Sir, please enter the underground safe house first."

"What good could it do?" Li Yelai sneered. "Does this safe house think it can stop an arrow?"

Cheng Mei's face turned pale. Indeed, if the enemy were to fire another arrow with the same power, the safe house would be useless.

Even the chosen one, a fallen emperor, would perish under that arrow.

"The enemy hasn't discovered us yet, so let's remain calm. It would be terrible if we were discovered," Li Yelai said. "Now, let's investigate Qin Zhi and the others' situation first."

"Yes!" Cheng Mei nodded and quickly left. Li Yelai sat down in the hall, eating the fruits provided by the followers while waiting for the events to unfold.

Meanwhile, in a safe house in Border City No. 2, Lang Tu was covered in cold sweat.

Upon seeing Qin Zhi's death, he immediately evacuated from the ark.

He knew something bad was about to happen!

So, upon returning to the physical world, Langtu immediately took off his clothes.

At the same time, the once strong muscles began to dissolve and fall to the ground piece by piece.

A naked and slender figure emerged from it.

A few minutes later, a pretty woman wearing a black trench coat walked out of the room.

Nearby, an official saw her and greeted her with a smile, "Captain Feixue, have you finished your lunch break?"

The woman smiled and nodded: "Is there something wrong with this habit that I just can't break?"

At that moment, an alarm sounded, and the operator glanced at the screen and his expression changed: "Captain, strong psionic fluctuations have been detected in the suburbs of the North City New District."

Captain Feixue's expression changed slightly: "Nearby teams, go investigate immediately. Can you deduce who it is?"

"Suspected to be a Wilderness Ranger!" the handler responded.

"Him?" Feixue's expression changed, then she nodded: "Then I have to go and see for myself."

“Yes!” the handler added. “Also, the Red Team is arriving shortly. They will be conducting an investigation. It’s unclear why the Wilderness Rangers would target that area.”

"The red-clad woman from the Ma family? I understand." Feixue nodded.

Immediately, she led several experienced night watchmen to the scene.

On the other side, inside the villa.

The specially reinforced security wall has been breached.

The two Five Senses bodyguards and Qin Zhi, who were originally in the underground safe house, all turned into blood mist.

Qin Zhi's body above the abdomen disappeared completely, turning into a blood mist.

The remaining half of his body slid off the shattered chair.

Meanwhile, Yagyu, who was standing next to him, had his better left arm and left leg ruthlessly torn apart.

She struggled to crawl out of the rubble, staring in horror at Qin Zhi's severed body.

Afterwards, Yagyu tried his best to hide himself in a blind spot, fearing that the enemy would shoot another arrow.

In fact, hiding in a blind spot wouldn't have helped her against that arrow.

But as a sixth-sense psychic, even though she lost an arm and a leg, she still had the ability to move.

She controlled the psionic barrier, trying her best to seal the wound and stop the bleeding.

She then activated her ability despite the excruciating pain. As a psionicist of the Nether Path, her mobility and stealth were exceptional.

She transformed into a wisp of black smoke, grabbed a briefcase with one hand, and swiftly vanished into the ruins.

She couldn't stay here any longer; the enemy was lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

Moreover, as a wanted criminal, she cannot be found by official handlers. At least, she cannot be found by most handlers.

Therefore, she had no choice but to flee the villa and head to the nearest allied forces, to the place where the chosen one of the fallen emperor was located, to seek refuge!
"Wilderness Ranger!" Liu Sheng looked at the deep crater in the ground, the blue flames still burning within. This quickly confirmed her identity as the enemy.

That Wilderness Ranger, a follower of the Chaos God!

Damn it, damn it! These lunatics actually found out!
This beast! They should have kept to themselves, but instead, she launched the attack first and even killed her partner.

Turbid tears slid down her blood-stained face.

Her eyes were filled with hatred. Qin Zhi was her partner and her lover.

Both are psionicists and have had connections to the Church of the Embers. They meet by chance and begin to accompany each other.

Both of them were chosen by the Ark and became a recognized couple among the Ark's voters.

Psionicists have long lifespans; they should have lived a long and happy life, but their lives were destroyed by the Wilderness Rangers!
"Kill you, and I will slaughter all the Wilderness Rangers! Slaughter all the followers of the Fifth God!"

Tears streaming down her face, she continued to creep into the forest, approaching the manor.

She will use the power of the Blood God's Chosen to capture and kill that ranger, and will continue her revenge throughout her life.

She hates the Wilderness Ranger for ruining her life, but how many other people's lives has she ruined?
She has a lover, Qin Zhi, but don't those innocent people who died at their hands have the right to love and be loved?
Did those tens of thousands of people deserve to die, or become stepping stones in her happiness?

How ridiculous!

A few minutes later, the nearest Giant City handler arrived at the scene.

The newcomer was none other than Ma Hongyi, who had once fought alongside Li Yelai.

After his operation in the Heavenly Realm, he led his team back to the Great City to rest and recuperate. They had previously been refining their tactics at a training ground in the suburbs.

He entered the villa wearing a red robe, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the three corpses in the basement.

“Red Robe, this basement has been specially reinforced. It contains extraordinary materials,” said You Ye Bu Shou.

"Find out who owns this villa," the woman in red replied, then reached out and touched the remains of the three corpses. Her expression darkened again.

Of these three corpses, one possessed the sixth sense and two possessed the fifth sense!

There are such high-level psionicists hiding here? Damn it! If they suddenly attack, wouldn't it cause a terrible disaster?

At this moment, another Night Scout spoke up: "Judging from the traces, there should be another injured person at the scene. But the traces have disappeared, so it should be a psionicist from the Netherworld Path, whose strength is unknown."

"Well, Wilderness Ranger, you've pulled up a big fish for me." The woman in red muttered to herself, then asked, "Have you found him?"

“We’re still chasing him, but we’ve located where he shot the arrow,” a scout said. “We left a signal there. We’ve already taken a picture.”

"A signal, not a trap?" The woman in red frowned, then turned on her communicator.

I saw two photos.

In the picture, a wanted poster is nailed to a tree. A large X is drawn across the wanted poster.

And the person on the wanted poster was none other than Qin Zhi!
The second photo shows the back of the arrest warrant.

'There's one more; I'll leave it to you to find.' (End of Chapter)
