CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 270: RAIDING THE TREASURE VAULT, NO TIME TO LOSE! (6K)

Everywhere inside and outside the Qinling Headquarters was a battlefield at this moment.

There were surprise attacks from the outside and formidable enemies within.

The raid by Moon Shadow and others had tied up several Demon Generals and a portion of the elites from the headquarters.

Meanwhile, the revival of ancient warriors inside had completely disrupted the rhythm of the headquarters.

In fact, the combat power of the headquarters was terrifying, not to be underestimated by any Giant City or Forbidden Zone.

But now, caught off guard, the headquarters was unable to wield its full strength.

Who could have expected that within their core territory, Overlord Level beings and several Sixth-sense Experts would suddenly emerge?

Some legions had just rushed out of their camps when they collided head-on with Ancient Beings, compelled to fight back unprepared, resulting in a brutal bloodbath.

More and more Ancient Creatures were revived by their comrades, and the groggy Revivalists could clearly sense the aura of Chaos, the aura of the Divine Chosen.

They rose up in revolt, starting a siege against the headquarters—the current sole protectorate of the Divine Chosen.

This instilled a sense of fear in all the Demon Generals.

Should it be said that humans from Giant City had killed a Divine Chosen within the headquarters, under the protection of numerous Demon Generals,

then even if they later returned to the Physical World, they would no longer be able to Ascend Demon into a Prince of Chaos.

To that end, every believer in the entire headquarters would bear the boundless wrath of the Blood God!

They would be tasked with launching a penance expedition, attacking Giant Cities and Forbidden Zones until their entire force perished.

He cannot die, the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One, he absolutely cannot die!

The two Demon Generals who had been in pursuit of Moon Shadow immediately quit the chase and turned to rush back to the headquarters, intending to return immediately to aid and protect the Divine Chosen.

"Since you’re all here, let’s chat for just 5 mao!" Moon Shadow laughed heartily, swinging her great axe, invoking thousands of chains of Heavenly Thunder, transforming them into a vast Thunder prison.

Bolts of Heavenly Thunder linked heaven and earth, forming a cage, blocking the two Demon Generals and their subordinates.

However, it was clear the Demon Generals were determined to go back to defend the headquarters. They even chose to endure the Heavenly Thunder, breaking through the prison.

The two Demon Generals escaped with numerous injuries, while the remaining elite believers desperately charged at Moon Shadow. Clearly, they were left to cover the rear.

Moon Shadow did not chase after the Demon Generals but began to deal with these elite believers. She still hoped that these Demon Generals could return, at least to protect Night General for a bit...

The rest would depend on Li Yelai’s own maneuvers.

However, Moon Shadow’s gaze swept in the direction of the headquarters.

Dangerous Spiritual Energy Fluctuations surged forth, even with Overlord Level beings making a move.

This made Moon Shadow complain internally, ’You better not go too far, kid... you’ve even drawn out an Overlord. Good thing we didn’t invite Doll to join the operation...’

On the other hand, Li Yelai’s situation was indeed perilous.

As he moved and the believers desperately covered him, his You Must Meet Strong Enemies condition continuously triggered, awakening one Ancient Creature after another.

Whenever reinforcements arrived to Block or repel a dangerous enemy, a new adversary would emerge.

The elite Fifth Legion had been thoroughly scattered, veteran warriors and Bloodsuckers were isolated by multiple enemies, fighting their own battles. The arriving Demon Generals also couldn’t spare a hand.

Dangerous blood battles erupted around him, and many soldiers and believers who surrounded him were affected by an unspecified area of effect and died miserably on the spot.

A few times, the situation became extremely critical; Sixth-sense Experts even managed to break through to within a hundred meters of Li Yelai. Little Mad King was nearly forced to act.

If not for the headquarters’ aerial restrictions still being in place, limiting the pursuit of Ancient Beings,

then Li Yelai estimated he would have had to use his Face to escape.

This plan did indeed carry some serious risks.

And just at this crisis moment, the voice of the Old Demon General could be heard.

That Great Demon guarding the Headquarters Treasure Vault personally extended an invitation to Li Yelai.

"Lord Di Yun, please come to the Treasure Vault. I shall guard your safety!"

Finally, here it came!

If there is any safe place in the chaos-ridden headquarters,

there are only two.

One is the Oracle Palace.

It has the power of the Divine, capable of sheltering the Divine Chosen for some time.

And the other, is none other than the heavily defended Headquarters Treasure Vault, guarded by an Overlord himself!

Each layer of the Treasure Vault has its strict and robust defenses, surely capable of protecting the Divine Chosen!

’Excellent!’ Li Yelai laughed heartily inside, as this was actually his ultimate goal.

Moon Shadow and others feigned an attack on the headquarters. Li Yelai took the opportunity to activate his Face and lead his legions in a sortie, thereby using You Must Meet Strong Enemies to lure out the enemy.

And to protect their Divine Chosen, the headquarters didn’t have many options left; the Treasure Vault was the best target.

Thus, Li Yelai led his remaining troops toward the Treasure Vault.

Nearby legions and believers were shouting, "Cover for Lord Di Yun!"

"Second Legion, charge with me, block the enemy!"

"Cover for the Lord to reach the Treasure Vault! Hurry!"

"Lords lead the way!" Demon General Bai Ya surged with Spiritual Energy, along with several elites, Blocking a Sixth-sense Expert.

The believers were immeasurably loyal, they relentlessly held back the enemies for Li Yelai. Even a Demon General was bloodied in mid-air under the attack of an Overlord.

It was so touching that Li Yelai almost couldn’t help but laugh.

Enemies protecting themselves and fighting with another group of enemies—what a wonderful thing in this world!

Consequently, amidst the sacrifice of countless believers, Li Yelai’s remnants successfully arrived at the Treasure Vault.

Outside the Treasure Vault, the First Legion stationed there was engaging several Sixth-sense Ancient Creatures, with roaring cannons and surging Spiritual Energy.

And the Old Demon General stood before the open gates of the Treasure Vault, proclaiming loud and clear, "Lord Di Yun, please enter the deeper levels of the Treasure Vault! I will fend off the pursuers for You! If I fall in battle, you shall proceed to the fifth layer; it might buy You a little time."
