Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 169 - 165: An Unprecedented Crisis

Upon realizing the failure of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo’s abilities, Lin Yuan’s brow furrowed tightly.

Since awakening the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo and mastering the Power of Rules called "No Distance," Lin Yuan had encountered many Deceitful Demons and slain numerous Tier Five Evil Spirits.

The Deceitful Demon of Mr. Yimu Wu, the Deceitful Demon of the Golden Armor Zombie, the Deceitful Demon of the Mother-Child Deceitful King...

No matter what Deceitful Demon he was in, the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo could always take him away.

This time, it was the only time the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo failed.

Emperor Dragon City’s waters are indeed deep!

Even the Evil Spirits around Emperor Dragon City seem to be far stronger than those in other places.

"We can’t leave!" Lin Yuan explained with a grim expression, "I possess a Power of Rules called ’No Distance,’ which could take me away from any Deceitful Demon at will."

"Now, this Power of Rules has failed, and the reason is unknown. It might be because this Deceitful Demon is strong enough, or it might just counter my Power of Rules."

"In any case, we need to be careful next; this place might be far more dangerous than we imagined."

Han Kun and the others did not know the significance of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo’s failure, but Zhang Zhen was well aware.

Ever since Zhang Zhen followed Lin Yuan, the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo had been universally effective.

The Yellow Springs Road Tattoo never failed in Peng City, but near Emperor Dragon City, it failed.

"Boss, what are you planning to do?" Zhang Zhen asked Lin Yuan.

When things happened, Zhang Zhen always asked Lin Yuan first, as Lin Yuan was the backbone to him.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then replied, "What else can we do?"

"We can only unravel the Deceitful Demon and slay the Tier Five Evil Spirit within. There’s no other way."

With the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo’s failure, unable to use the "No Distance" rule to leave, the only option was to directly confront the Tier Five Evil Spirit here.

Currently, the challenging part is that this Deceitful Demon has just formed, and Emperor Dragon City lacks any information about it.

Han Kun and the others also knew nothing at all.

The lack of intelligence means the difficulty of unraveling the Deceitful Demon is greatly increased.

At this moment, Han Kun stepped forward in front of Lin Yuan, and said gravely, "Mr. Lin, my team and I are willing to follow your command."

"You arrange the tasks. Hopefully, we can unravel the Deceitful Demon and overcome the Tier Five Evil Spirit here quickly."

After Han Kun spoke, his team members exchanged glances without saying more.

Among them, Lin Yuan was the strongest, with the most experience in unraveling Deceitful Demons.

In this situation, Han Kun transferring command authority to Lin Yuan was the wisest choice.

The appearance of a Deceitful Demon meant facing a Tier Five Evil Spirit with mastery of the Power of Rules.

Within their action team, the strongest leader, Han Kun, was only Tier Six.

They did not have the ability to single-handedly unravel a Deceitful Demon and deal with a Tier Five Evil Spirit.

Among them, only Lin Yuan had the capability to solo unravel a Deceitful Demon and slay a Tier Five Evil Spirit.

Assigning command to Lin Yuan was rightful.

"Alright!" Lin Yuan readily agreed without hesitation.

If there were no danger, Lin Yuan would naturally be a guest who follows the host’s lead.

However, now with the danger present, he must take responsibility for his safety and everyone’s safety.

...

...

Emperor Dragon City.

In the conference room of a certain mysterious department.

The meeting regarding the Nine Cities Plan continued; such discussions affecting humanity’s future would certainly not conclude in just a few days.

For these days, meetings were almost held daily, with everyone discussing topics, continuously refining the entire Nine Cities Plan.

"Clack, clack."

A series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the conference room. A young man in black sprinted to the conference room and then abruptly pushed the door open, rushing inside.

While having a meeting, the sound of the door being pushed open with a "bang" shocked everyone in the conference room.

Ye Qing’s expression changed as he angrily reprimanded, "Little Chen, how can you be so inconsiderate?"

"Don’t you know how to knock?"

The young man in black, named Chen Zheng, was an intelligence officer under Ye Qing, responsible for collecting information on Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms around Emperor Dragon City.

"Ye..."

"Commander Ye, something bad has happened!"

"Something big has happened!" Chen Zheng said in a flustered manner, with a hint of fear on his face.

What Chen Zheng did indeed showed a lack of decorum.

They were having a meeting, and in front of so many people, it was not the right time to discuss these matters.

Ideally, he should have called Ye Qing out separately and then informed him alone.

However, Chen Zheng had only recently become the intelligence officer and did not understand the rules of the bureaucracy.

The reason Chen Zheng became the intelligence officer was simple, just his ability.

Although he didn’t know much about bureaucracy or social etiquette, his ability sufficed.

Chen Zheng was a Tier Six Life Pattern Master, having etched two divine patterns on his body—Clairvoyant Eyes and Acute Hearing—making his abilities very unique.

With the acceleration of the Deceitful intrusion process, humanity knew almost nothing about areas outside the cities.

Chen Zheng’s abilities thus became important, as he was like a human radar capable of monitoring everything around Emperor Dragon City.

Originally, Ye Qing intended to take Chen Zheng outside to talk, but at that moment, everyone present was intently staring at Chen Zheng.

Evidently, the big news Chen Zheng mentioned piqued everyone’s curiosity.

Those present also wanted to know how big this supposed big event truly was.
