Ye Chen recalled what the Netherworld King said when he first saw them: "So, it was you who killed our Cyan Alliance people!"
Although it was just a simple sentence, it revealed two pieces of information.
The Cyan Alliance already knows that someone killed their people, but they still don’t know who did it.
Being the clever person that she is, Yu Nian naturally understood the implication.
Yu Nian frowned slightly, worriedly saying, "Will the Cyan Alliance have already sent people to search for us?"
Ye Chen patted Yu Nian’s shoulder, saying, "What’s there to worry about? If they’re coming, let them come. I was just worrying about not being able to find them. Don’t forget, we’re not who we used to be anymore."
Hearing this, Yu Nian looked at Ye Chen, and seeing his resolute and confident gaze, she felt reassured.
Ye Chen looked down at Yu Nian, gently brushing aside a lock of her messy hair, and softly said, "Alright, no need to worry, get some rest early."
Yu Nian felt the warmth of Ye Chen’s palm, and her heart skipped a beat as she nodded.
Ten o’clock at night.
Yu Nian lay in bed holding Little One.
Little One poked his head out and asked, "Mom, do you like Uncle Ye Chen?"
Yu Nian playfully scolded, gently tapping Little One’s head, "You little brat, what do you know about liking or not liking? Go to sleep."
Little One giggled, snuggled into Yu Nian’s embrace, and drifted off to dreamland.
The next morning, Ye Chen and the others set out early.
On the road, Lin Nuoyi had already used the Black Emperor’s Tentacles to detect the presence of the Cyan Alliance about 1,700 meters away.
Here was a small workshop, producing something unknown.
It didn’t feel quite legitimate, as if they were making something not good.
Minutes later, the five arrived at the entrance of the workshop.
On the sign, one could vaguely make out four large, blurry characters.
So it was a cigarette-producing workshop; the Cyan Alliance really covered all vices.
The five didn’t sneak in, instead, they burst through the door directly.
Zhu Qiang kicked the iron door open.
As soon as they entered, Zhu Qiang boldly shouted, "Who’s the boss here?"
Although called a workshop, it was actually quite large, covering the size of two basketball courts.
Inside, over ten Pet Tamers watched as a hundred ordinary people produced cigarettes.
There were a total of sixteen Cyan Alliance members.
Their levels were all at LV11, except for one who looked like the leader, who was at LV12.
This was the weakest team Ye Chen and his group had encountered since arriving in Qing County.
The leader squinted, glancing at Zhu Qiang, and placed one foot on a stool, shaking his leg disdainfully, "That’s me. Who are you? Do you know what place this is? Do you know who we are?"
Zhu Qiang chuckled, "I know, you’re the Cyan Alliance’s mongrels. How should a mongrel address you?"
"Damn, you’re looking for death! My name is Zhu Kuangdong! I’m your grandpa!" Zhu Kuangdong angrily cursed.
Zhu Qiang glanced at Zhu Kuangdong, chuckling, "Oh, your surname is Zhu too, from the ’Kuang’ generation. What a coincidence, my surname is Zhu as well, but I’m two generations above you, you should call me grandpa!"
Zhu Kuangdong was enraged, pulling out a pistol and firing at Zhu Qiang while cursing, "Damn you, go to hell!"
Zhu Qiang’s eyes narrowed, and the Dark Light Sword flashed out, swinging to deflect the incoming bullet aside.
At the same time, Zhu Qiang rushed forward, pressing the Dark Light Sword against Zhu Kuangdong’s neck.
Zhu Qiang coldly said, "See this? A LV20 four-star Divine Artifact. With just a little push, I could poke a bloody hole in your neck! Believe it or not?"
Zhu Kuangdong looked at the Dark Light Sword pressed against his neck, swallowing hard and nodding repeatedly.
Zhu Qiang grinned mischievously, "Call me grandpa!"
Zhu Kuangdong didn’t speak.
Zhu Qiang’s face turned cold, applying slight pressure, and a trace of blood flowed from Zhu Kuangdong’s neck.
Zhu Kuangdong felt the pain, hurriedly shouting, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"
"Yes!" Zhu Qiang laughed heartily.
"This feels great! I used to always be bullied, but now that the tables have turned, it’s awesome to finally be the bully!"
Lin Nuoyi watched Zhu Qiang, who was gloating, and said, "Zhu Qiang, mind your status. If others see your smug face, what will they think?"
Zhu Qiang remembered that he was the Star Alliance’s Vice Alliance Leader, quickly dropping his grin and asserting, "Zhu Kuangdong, my brother has questions for you, answer truthfully!"
With that, Zhu Qiang put away the Dark Light Sword and placed a chair behind Ye Chen.
Ye Chen watched Zhu Qiang’s antics, unable to suppress a smile.
Zhu Kuangdong also exhaled deeply, wiping the blood from his neck with his hand.
But in the next second, a red figure flashed above Zhu Kuangdong’s head.
Looking up, Zhu Kuangdong saw the Blood Asura hovering above him, holding the Blood God Scythe high, aimed at his neck.
"LV15! Saint! Saint Tier!" Seeing the basic information of Blood Asura, Zhu Kuangdong was instantly stunned.
Meanwhile, Yu Nian and the others summoned their own pets.
Seeing that all the pets were at least LV12 and of Legendary Tier or higher, Zhu Kuangdong was even more dumbfounded.
He finally understood that his opponents were incredibly formidable; just Blood Asura at LV15 could annihilate their whole team!
Zhu Kuangdong dared not show any arrogance anymore, kneeling on the ground obediently, waiting for Ye Chen’s questions.
Zhu Kuangdong was not a man of courage to begin with, extremely cowardly.
Ye Chen coldly looked at Zhu Kuangdong and said, "I ask you, how many Elders and Hall Masters does your Cyan Alliance have?"
Zhu Kuangdong immediately answered, "Ten elders, twenty hall masters! The elders are all at LV15, except for one who is at LV16. The hall masters are at LV14, except two who are at LV15!"
"And what level is your Alliance Leader?"
Zhu Kuangdong thought for a moment and replied, "I think it’s LV17, but I’ve heard rumors that our Alliance Leader might have already reached LV18."
Ye Chen paused, he initially thought the Cyan Alliance Leader would be like Chen Ruxin at LV17, but it turned out they might have already reached LV18.
Looks like he underestimated the strength of the Cyan Alliance.
Ye Chen looked at Zhu Kuangdong again, who shivered uncontrollably, not daring to meet Ye Chen’s eyes.
Suddenly, Zhu Qiang sniffed, "What’s that smell? Why is it so stinky?"
He sniffed around, noticing Zhu Kuangdong’s odd posture, legs tightly closed.
Zhu Qiang sensed Zhu Kuangdong’s anomaly and kicked him on the butt.
