Chapter 1027
Block 950, Yelan stands guard in front of the Teleportation Gate, scrutinizing each person passing by with a keen gaze.
Everyone caught in his sight feels a strong sense of oppression, their hearts tightening, forcing them to quicken their pace to leave.
Here, as it was before, not many can use the Teleportation Gate in a day, and those who do rarely are just heading to other districts for errands.
As the Teleportation Gate Receptionist of Block 950, Yelan's job is quite relaxed; even standing absent-mindedly would not be considered dereliction.
However, he remains dedicated to his duties, inspecting each passerby lest any infected individuals mix in.
Suddenly, he reacts subtly, turning his head to the side.
Yakumo approaches from there, dressed in disguise suit.
As she draws near, Yelan asks, "How's the situation?"
Yakumo shakes her head ruefully, "Still not awake."
Kuimi is a shared concern for the two of them; ever since they brought her back from the Wilderness, she has been unconscious and unresponsive despite doctors' best efforts.
The doctors once suggested some extreme therapy, ensuring she could awaken, albeit as a completely different person, no longer the Kuimi she once was, lacking her memories.
Yakumo refused; she wants to save her sister Kuimi, not a stranger's soul.
Yelan solemnly says, "Perhaps we can try…"
"No!"
Not even finishing his sentence, Yakumo firmly interrupts him, "Until we are certain of healing her, I absolutely won't try any uncertain treatment plans!"
"But…"
"No 'but'!"
"Fine…"
Yelan sees he cannot persuade her and refrains from further words, turning back to watch the Teleportation Gate.
Suddenly, he reacts again as the inside of the Teleportation Gate begins to rotate, signifying someone is arriving through it.
"Someone's coming." Yelan informs Yakumo.
Both step forward to prepare for the visitor.
However, the figure emerging from the gate makes their bodies stiffen instantly, as terrifying memories flood their minds.
"Though it's just been a few months, I'd still like to say, long time no see, Yakumo, Yelan." Li Zheng greets them with a smile.
[After months of rigorous training, some thought they had grown significantly more powerful, able to challenge foes they couldn't before.]
[But now it seems, a clown is still a clown, even if they have grown stronger.]
[Do not engage them in conflict, or only by bursting into mincemeat will you pose any threat to them!]
Old Pu suddenly pops up a notification; Li Zheng reads it, twitching his eye.
Yakumo and Yelan seem far stronger than he imagined, and yet they only rank in the top ten combat powers of Block 950?
"Why have you returned?" Yakumo recalls the All-Block Homage instigated by Li Zheng and speaks with a harsh tone: "Couldn't carry out your schemes elsewhere, so you've come back to cause trouble again?"
Since then, Yakumo appears to hold deep-seated grievances against Li Zheng, never trusting his explanations.
Li Zheng laughs bitterly, "It's been months, have you heard of any major incidents in other blocks?"
If indeed he was a Wilderness infiltrator causing trouble, months would be ample time to stir up significant turmoil, wouldn't they?
"How could there not be?" Yakumo sneers: "Block 4 was suddenly swarmed by a horde of Wilderness pests, dare you claim that's not your doing?"
The Blood Patterned Black Dragon and three other races entered the Outer City over a month ago, with news spreading across the Outer City, causing unfounded worries among many Outer City residents who feared the unprecedented influx of Wilderness inhabitants would bring adverse effects.
"It was my doing, but merely to assist my daughter in bringing her tribesmen into the Outer City, nothing of the conspiracies you envision." Li Zheng tries explaining.
"Your daughter?" Yakumo says coldly: "Are you referring to that young Blood Patterned Black Dragon accompanying you? I knew she following you indicated hidden intentions!"
Yelan hears this, frowns, and rebukes: "Yakumo, enough!"
He knows if not stopped, Yakumo might spout even harsher words next.
After all, they can both see the young Blood Patterned Black Dragon's bloodline isn't pure.
Yakumo glances at Yelan, shutting her mouth.
Seeing Li Zheng's face grow slightly sour, Yelan steps forward to mediate: "Your reason for coming this time?"
"Searching for someone." Li Zheng replies indifferently, then heads towards Kang'er's Botanical Garden with the people following him.
Yakumo glares at them throughout.
Li Zheng is uninterested in entangling with her; once he finds a way to heal Kuimi, the help Yakumo offered will have run its course, and thereafter they'll have no further ties.
At that point, should Yakumo dare disrespect him again, Li Zheng wouldn't hesitate to enact another King's Arrival, letting them suffer.
Mirel passes Yakumo, eyes flashing with malice, giving her a sharp look.
This woman dares show such attitude towards Li Zheng; even if she had once helped them, Mirel can't muster any kindness now.
Mudala直接在八云面前站住,鼻子发出一声冷哼.
她不知道自己为什么这么做,但本能驱使她用这样的方式向八云挑衅.
Feng Yue则秉承着多一事不如少一事的原则,匆匆从两人面前经过.
等四人走远,夜阑沉声开口:"The Turtle Race, Abyssal Enchanting Demon Race, Destruction Race, Blood Patterned Black Dragon Race, Blood Race, Suffering Race... What is this Blue Star human plotting with so many races?"
Moreover, aside from the Turtle Race, the rest are Wilderness races, all notorious for their ruthlessness.
Gathering such individuals in the Outer City definitely doesn't bode well!
"还有藤萝族和那三个虎人兄弟." Yakumo补充道:"He must be brewing a grand conspiracy!"
Yelan frowns: "Don't speak without evidence; presumption of innocence applies."
"Presumption of innocence?" Yakumo scoffs: "His collusion with so many Wilderness races is evidence enough!"
"But he hasn't committed actions harmful to the Outer City, so we cannot currently convict him based on such evidence," Yelan sighs: "You are too suspicious; with his Spiritual Power strength, do you think he needs to disrupt others' mental consciousness?"
While Outer City's limitations hinder deep research into Spiritual Power, doctors have nonetheless diagnosed her condition as Soul Loss, relating to disturbances in mental consciousness.
Destroying someone's mental consciousness demands exceedingly strong Spiritual Power from the perpetrator, a feat beyond Yakumo and Yelan.
Thus, when Li Zheng, whose Spiritual Power is astonishingly strong, appears before Yakumo, she instinctively views him as an adversary.
With Li Zheng's Spiritual Power, once unleashed fully, he could effortlessly obliterate the consciousnesses of everyone in the district!
