CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 266 PLAN_2

The initial time was set the day after Li Yelai completed the challenge.

That is, on the fourth day of the challenge.

Now, even if Li Yelai completes the challenge early, the time will not change, and in fact, it is too late to change.

The contact between Giant City and the front line by Ye Boshou was basically reliant on running, with the fastest Ye Boshou going back and forth to maintain communication.

After all, using void realm sound transmission posed the risk of interception.

Even with a code, if the enemy couldn’t understand it, they would still be alerted in advance.

Thus, there was a significant delay in communications from Giant City.

So, they would continue as originally planned and launch multiple attacks on the main base on the fourth day.

This was not a full-scale assault; those from Ye Boshou who had made it here were few,

probably just three or four teams, and two captain-level powerhouses.

One of the captains was the Moon Shadow Captain.

For safety reasons, they didn’t contact the nearby Chuanshu Giant City for support.

They were worried that there might be Church spies among them, which could expose their operations.

Relying on just three or four Ye Boshou teams and one captain, it was naturally impossible to take down the entire main base.

Of course, if we’re talking about spewing taunts, the Moon Shadow Captain could probably take on the main base all by himself...

But their mission was actually to feign attack, merely to prompt the Church’s teams at the main base into action, causing some chaos to give Li Yelai a chance to move.

By that time, the main base wouldn’t have the capacity to pay attention to Ye Boshou’s feint attacks.

Li Yelai would prepare far more troublesome opponents for them, namely those ancient warriors sealed within the sealed blood ore crystals!

In fact, these dangerous sealed blood ore crystals were well concealed, and even Li Yelai didn’t know their exact locations.

But Li Yelai’s inevitable strong enemies would deal with those troubles, bringing those ancient warriors right to him!

This was the official plan, and Li Yelai had his own schemes as well.

Li Yelai planned to take advantage of the chaos to enter the treasure vault.

He would take everything, the things he should and shouldn’t take! Return the Chaos Holy Artifacts and the Great Demon’s skulls? Heh, he’d plunder everything! All for humanity!

Then, he’d spin the Lucky Wheel. He’d summon a Catastrophe and destroy the entire treasure vault!

He’d bury or destroy whatever he couldn’t take with him!

Of course, many surprises and risks would occur along the way.

The enemies Li Yelai attracted might be too powerful or the disaster he invited might be uncontrollable.

These could plunge Li Yelai into peril.

But if the plan succeeded, Li Yelai could not only severely damage the main base but also make off with a large amount of resources.

"It seems I am indeed well-suited to be a spy," Li Yelai grinned.

As an Ark Chosen One, he could contact Giant City safely through Jing Lin and could even teleport resources.

Moreover, his curse had found its use!

Calamity was indeed unfortunate, but triggering calamity on an enemy’s head was humanity’s good fortune.

Indeed, he should mooch off a few more Chaos Sects.

"But there are still risks; we need to plan even more detailed steps." Little Mad King reminded him, "We can’t let the Church suspect you even a bit."

Li Yelai nodded, "I know, and later, I have to go to Border City Number Two."

Conspiracies were brewing in Border City Number Two, and Li Yelai must get involved!

Whatever Fen Xiao was up to, even if he was just going to Border City Number Two to celebrate his birthday, Li Yelai would make sure he ate a big one.

Afterward, Little Mad King said, "Then you should rest now. You’ve been fighting continuously on the Dead Sea Wreck; you deserve a good rest. Besides, you smell quite strong right now."

Indeed, Li Yelai’s body was a mix of the sea’s fishiness and the scent of blood, and it was indeed quite potent.

"Ahem, okay, I’ll go wash up first," Li Yelai said, looking somewhat embarrassed. "You should rest too; I’ll take the couch."

"No need, the bed is quite large, and besides, I’ve rested enough these last few days," Little Mad King responded. "You rest first."

"Thank you then," Li Yelai nodded slightly and proceeded to unarmor and enter the bathroom to wash up.

After washing off the bloodstains, his tense muscles also relaxed somewhat.

When Li Yelai lay down on the bed, he could still feel the warmth under the thin blanket and a certain cool fragrance lingering on it.

Meanwhile, the fatigue from consecutive battles swept over him, quickly sending him into a deep sleep.

Little Mad King, on the other hand, was quite comfortable leaning on the sofa nearby, enjoying the feeling of being trusted by a teammate.

’This feeling really isn’t bad...’ she thought to herself.

...

While Li Yelai was sleeping peacefully, in a secluded valley near the Qinling Headquarters.

A handsome young man, clad in Ancient Dragon Armor and carrying a Shield Axe, was discussing with the Ye Boshous by his side.

This was none other than the Moon Shadow Captain.

At that moment, he was calmly listening to his people reporting information.

"Inside the abandoned Chang’an City, there are many Scavengers and small merchant teams stopping by; we noticed quite a few Ember Church followers among them."

"There is a space folding phenomenon in the Qinling Mountains, with an inner sanctuary that is easy to defend and hard to attack."

"Three hours ago, a Sixth-sense Expert flew out of the mountains, seemingly on patrol."

"At least for now, all the intelligence is very accurate, and the enemy’s defenses are clearly mapped out," a female captain in red armor spoke, "Moon Shadow, can we trust the map you brought?"

"Of course, Captain Lie Yang," Moon Shadow replied with a smile. "We just need to follow orders."

This female captain was the West City Branch Captain whom Li Yelai had seen once in the Disaster Fog.

The Wanxiang Path’s, Captain Lie Yang.

She had transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow and ignited a massive Insect Swarm. She was also the first Mythical Mimic that Li Yelai had encountered.

Captain Lie Yang squinted her eyes and asked Moon Shadow, "May I ask the source of this map’s information?"

Moon Shadow just smiled and remained silent. The information about someone becoming a Chaos Chosen was too shocking.

Even Moon Shadow himself had almost choked upon learning of it.

If it weren’t for Moon Shadow’s curse being unique, he would not have been chosen to lead this mission.

Ordinarily, captains should not even be privy to such information.

"It seems you are still keeping secrets from us. Your East City Branch is really something, managing to place a Dark Pile here? This is one of the four Main Bases of Ember Church, right?"

Captain Lie Yang hummed lightly, "Recently, I felt a group of mysterious strong figures had arrived at Giant City, but afterwards, there was no news, and Giant City locked down the information. Even us captains are not allowed to know... Do you know about this? Is this related to your East City Branch?"

That was actually the event of the returning Peak Champion Team One, which, due to its shocking intelligence, led all involved to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Moon Shadow, himself, had only learned the information after taking on this mission.

Moon Shadow nodded, "It is related indeed, but it’s confidential. You’ll find out eventually."

"So secretive? Even keeping captains in the dark? Aren’t we, like Little Mad King, worthy of your trust?"

Captain Lie Yang frowned, not appreciating the wariness from her teammates.

Ultimately, she could only sigh helplessly, "Well then. It’s also for the protection of the Dark Pile, after all. With traitors having appeared among the captains before, it’s better to be cautious. Just ensure the intelligence is accurate and avoid any double agent situations."

"You can rest assured on that count," Moon Shadow replied. "The source of the information is very accurate."

"It seems you trust that Dark Pile a lot; I hope he remains safe," Captain Lie Yang responded. "Our West City Branch also tried to infiltrate spies into the Church, but none could penetrate the core. The corruption of Chaos is too dreadful; even the most steadfast warriors change their disposition after receiving a Chaos blessing... A Dark Pile who could enter the Main Base without being corrupted is truly invaluable, but also incredibly dangerous."

Moon Shadow thought to himself that if you knew this Dark Pile was almost mingling with the boss, you would be even more shocked!

As for the danger, other Dark Piles might indeed be in danger.

But this Dark Pile, even if you proclaimed in front of the Church that he was a spy, the Church might still not believe it.
