Chapter 1393 - 985: How Many Li Ba?

Chapter 1393: Chapter 985: How Many Li Ba?

The sky gradually darkened, and the wooden door of the bar was pushed open.

Ye Yi walked out of the bar door in a cheerful mood.

There was still a hint of aftertaste on his somewhat pale face, "What a wonderful encounter. To find a maiden in the Bottom Nest, I truly stumbled upon a treasure... She even made my legs weak."

His neck wound had already healed, completely unaware that his sensual experience was all an illusion given by Hai Qing.

As for his weak legs, it was because of a Blood Clan player’s blood being sucked.

Of course, he thought it was the price of indulging too much.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the mesmerizing figure from the hallucination. If it weren’t for his duties as a Border City officer by night, he would have liked to stay here.

But there was no rush.

As a high-ranking figure in this giant city and the progeny of the former City Lord, he owned quite a bit of property.

He had enough hidden places to keep his lovers.

He would look for her after all affairs were settled.

As for the girl’s request to visit the City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Yi was somewhat hesitant.

Even enchanted, Ye Yi sensed something was not right. Matters concerning the City Lord’s Mansion were no small affair.

The City Lord’s Mansion was not actually the City Lord’s residence, but rather the collective term for the buildings housing the giant city’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, Military Department, and Defence Forces Headquarters. It was the administrative center managing tens of millions of residents.

It was also situated in the most secure central area of the giant city.

With more than thirty thousand defense troops guarding the City Lord’s Mansion and the Hellsprings Reverse land army on watch,

Security also meant prosperity. That area also had the highest property prices in the giant city.

A girl from the Bottom Nest, what was she planning to do there?

Ye Yi was puzzled, but under the influence of enchantment,

His suspicion gradually faded, transforming into believing the girl from the Bottom Nest simply longed for the prosperous area.

Thinking it over, he decided to find an opportunity to take her there, considering it no big deal.

Meanwhile, a Transcendent hiding nearby sighed in relief as Ye Yi left the bar.

But still feeling uneasy, after Ye Yi got into the patrol vehicle,

The Transcendent returned and began to investigate the alley’s bar.

In one of the bar’s rooms, a beautiful girl was packing her luggage, clearly about to move out.

The Transcendent frowned and quietly observed her for a while, and upon finding no anomaly, silently left.

As for Ye Yi’s private life, as his guard, the Transcendent did not interfere.

Unbeknownst to him, after he left the bar,

A mockingly amused smile surfaced on Hai Qing’s beautiful face. In this giant city, the only threats to them were the human players and that Hellsprings Reverse land army. Very few could see through Hai Qing’s disguise.

She dropped her luggage and sat on the couch, casually playing with the house keys Ye Yi had given her. An air of nobility and inviolability emerged.

At this moment, she truly resembled a Sea Clan princess, the companion of a Demigod.

Just then, a powerful Sea Clan member appeared in the corner of the room and said on bended knee, "Princess, we’ve received information on Li Ba’s whereabouts."

"Li Ba’s information, really?" Hai Qing’s expression flickered, Li Ba being one of the strongest human players in the Netherworld, and also one of the most powerful under the Demigods.

Even with grievances, the Sea Clan dared not act rashly against him unless the Sea King or ancient Sea Divinity took action themselves. Who in the Sea Clan could match Li Ba?

In reality, the Sea Clan still hadn’t figured out the exact situation between Li Ba and Yang Dong.

Last time during the Hundred Generals Trial Sword, only one apostle returned to the Sea Clan.

He even failed to bring back any useful intelligence.

They could only ascertain that both Li Ba and Yang Dong carried the Sea Clan’s curse, unclear who was who, or who was the culprit behind the destruction of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"According to intelligence, within two days, Li Ba appeared in the Sky Mountain Giant City, in the Cloud-top Giant City, on the Hua Country Plateau, in the Abandoned City, and in a total of eleven locations."

"Wait... Could there be several Li Bas among humans? Or has Li Ba learned some kind of cloning technique?" Hai Qing frowned, "Does he possess such speed? And during the movement, he wasn’t besieged by Chaos gods and other divinities?"

While Li Ba was strong, if discovered, he would inevitably face divine assaults. As the strongest among humans in this world, he was a primary target.

Moreover, how could he appear in so many places simultaneously?

If there truly were eleven Li Bas, eleven of the strongest under the Demigods, humans would have launched a full-scale assault.

One-on-one would be another matter, after all, there were cases of Li Ba killing Demigods with powerful support. If it was one-on-one, the Demigods wouldn’t have much to fear.

But which divinity could fight eleven Li Bas? That would be a True God!

"This is the bad news I wanted to report. We suspect that some human players are acting under Li Ba’s name," analyzed the strong Sea Clan member. "As the strongest under the Demigods, using his name holds tremendous deterrence. Human players might be using this to intimidate other races’ powerful beings. Of course, it could also be that human players are providing cover for the real Li Ba."

After all, an individual with black wings, wielding a black sword of death, almost as if the words ’Fifth Devil King’ were etched on his face, wearing a deceptive Bronze Mask, could still boldly claim he was Li Ba, attributing any deeds to him.

Having so many ’Li Bas’ somehow made sense.

After all, no Different Race player was eager to verify the authenticity.

"That’s just uncertainty, humans are truly despicable..." Hai Qing frowned, showing no concern that he had just controlled humans through despicable means.

...

Meanwhile, in a dormitory of the human champions’ fleet.

Chen Yu, once again, woke from her sleep.

Drenched in sweat and exhausted, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

Finally, she walked out of the room, looking completely fatigued.

Under the curse of pleasure, her sleeping hours were few.

At the moment, all she wanted was to find a place to drink some coffee, read a book to calm her mind, and then try to meditate to restore her spirit and stamina.

If that didn’t work, she would use the Mirror of Reversal to transform into an ultimate physique player.

Although her body would turn male, her sleep would still be affected. But as the main physique player, she could go without sleep—so that would end pleasure’s trick, wouldn’t it?

Chen Yu hummed to herself, feeling terribly tormented.

Then, she saw Li Changhe, who was in the conference room venting to Yun Ting.

"Amazing, it used to be me reporting others’ names, and now others are reporting mine," Li Changhe complained.

"That’s just give and take. It’s normal!" Yun Ting consoled.

"I know it’s normal, but if you are going to report, report, but some guys don’t even bother to disguise themselves. Look at Chen Guang! Chasing Different Race players with wings spread and shamelessly broadcasting my name. So unprofessional!" Li Changhe lamented, his face expressing frustration. As a specialist in potency, he believed one had to be professional.

Chen Guang was defiling this great art.

He should learn from Wuji, who at least wore armor and applied some Azure Flame effects to appear convincing.

It’s just that in battle, he kept self-destructing. If rumors spread that General Li Ba was a streaking freak, that wouldn’t be good.

Actually, those players disguising themselves were partly official cover or using their status to intimidate enemies.

Li Changhe didn’t really care; after all, he had a habit of announcing Brother Dong’s name as well.

And, it better confused the divinities’ focus.

When he truly exposed himself, the opponents would also suspect whether it was true or false.

"Cry wolf" only works thrice, but now it had already been eleven times. The effect should be pretty good.

"So, are you upset about this?" Chen Yu couldn’t help but tease as she stopped by, "You’re the current General, not a blame-lord, Li."

"This is no small matter."

Li Changhe casually poured a cup of coffee for Chen Yu; he knew exactly what she liked. Actually, coffee had almost no effect on players, this guy just liked the taste.

Chen Yu, unceremoniously, sat on the sofa with her steaming coffee.

And discussed the details of the mission sporadically with Li Changhe.

This time, the Great Wall had made contact with nearly twenty giant cities. Among them, eleven were located within Hua Country.

Due to previous collaborations, some giant cities had granted Great Wall immense trust and could even withdraw defense soldiers to aid the Great Wall.

However, sadly, those giant cities were not aware of Hellsprings Reverse’s location. After all, some were located inland, where fleets rarely ventured.

If Li Changhe in Border City didn’t encounter the Hellsprings fleet, those giant cities were willing to provide logistics support for the ’human champions’ fleet.

Actually, there was a little trick to it.

After all, players stayed in this world for barely half a year. Once Commander Li Changhe left, the fleet definitely couldn’t be taken with him.

Such a fleet that could drive even a Chaos Demigod to desperation, which giant city wouldn’t want it?

Thus, they were quite willing to accommodate the fleet. Anyway, the players would have to leave in a few months.

But, Li Changhe hadn’t thought about gifting it to them yet.

If possible, it would be best for the champions’ fleet to join Hellsprings Reverse. They were currently the only large human fleet and of utmost importance. The Supreme King was there; they should be prioritized for support.

And if they didn’t encounter them, they would remain in Border City. Helping Hellsprings Reverse with logistics, and also giving Border City an additional bargaining chip. After all, both the Heavenly Prides, Chen Tianjiao and Chen Yu, were here.

With this, Li Changhe carefully observed Chen Yu’s complexion.

After some rest, her complexion had become rosier, and her dark circles faded slightly.

Spreading his hands, he responded, "Stop teasing me now, rather go back to sleep. If you continue to stay up, be careful of balding. Did you know, even all-purpose medicine can’t cure baldness?"

This wasn’t just nonsense from Li Changhe; Bai’s previously burnt hair, though his injuries healed with all-purpose medicine, never regrew. This left Bai profoundly devastated, claiming he entered middle age prematurely.

Sleep... Chen Yu’s mouth twitched, her heartbeat slightly quickened, and she subconsciously crossed her legs.

She thought, if in sleep, it wouldn’t just be teasing between you and me...

Yun Ting then fell into silence.

Considering maybe it’s better to let Li not tease He Feng anymore.

Just then, Officer Jiang Qi quickly approached.

Looking at Li Changhe, he urgently said, "Commander, something’s happened. The plague is here!"
