Chen Ruxin nodded, feeling a bit surprised inside.
Ye Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Ruxin, saying, "Will you come with me to Qing County?"
Chen Ruxin gazed into Ye Chen's deep eyes. Her heart was somewhat troubled; she really wanted to agree.
But Chen Ruxin still shook her head and said, "No, as you said, the Law Enforcement Alliance in the Aggregation District will undergo a major reshuffle. Now that Zhang Yun and Zhu Chuanzhi have been taken away, the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Demon Charm Alliance, and the Dark Alliance won't be constrained by the Law Enforcement Alliance anymore. By then, the environment here will get better and better. My brothers and sisters in the Heavenly Dao Alliance are still here. So, I won't go."
Chen Ruxin's tone was quite firm, without any hesitation.
Ye Chen also knew that Chen Ruxin was a woman with a strong drive for her career, different from others. She didn't want to rely on others; she didn't want to become someone's appendage. She wanted to make her own achievements based on her abilities.
On this point, Ye Chen did not insist.
"Alright, if you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you first as soon as there's anything!" Chen Ruxin said with a sweet smile.
Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
As he turned around, he saw the Dark Alliance Leader standing not far away watching him.
The Dark Alliance Leader's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something but holding back.
Ye Chen knew that he had something to discuss with him.
"I'm going over there. Can you wait for me here?" Ye Chen asked tentatively.
"Alright, I'll wait for you here!"
Ye Chen nodded and walked towards the Dark Alliance Leader.
The Dark Alliance Leader's face revealed a hint of a smile when he saw Ye Chen approaching.
"Brother Ye Chen," the Dark Alliance Leader greeted with a smile.
"Shall we go somewhere else to talk?"
The two moved to a quieter place nearby.
"Dark Alliance Leader, how have you been recently?" Although the two had not seen much of each other before, they had dealt with each other quite a bit.
The Dark Alliance Leader laughed and said, "I'm alright, managing just fine. Shao Shuai is now an elder within our alliance."
The Dark Alliance Leader was savvy; he knew Shao Shuai had a good relationship with Ye Chen, so he mentioned it to immediately draw the two closer.
Ye Chen had always been curious about the Dark Alliance Leader, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Dark Alliance Leader, earlier I encountered Black Face in Qing County."
"Black Face?" The Dark Alliance Leader was a bit surprised.
Ye Chen explained, "He appeared with the Cyan Alliance Leader, brought along by the Cyan Emperor. As for how they knew each other, I'm not sure. Black Face said that the Golden Armor Battle Garment only exists in your Dark Alliance. What's going on?"
The Dark Alliance Leader laughed; he knew Ye Chen would ask this question and was even hoping for it: "The reason for all of this is because of my pet."
With that, the Dark Alliance Leader summoned his pet.
It was the same Creator as before, only now much smaller in size.
"It's called Creator and has a mechanical attribute. It's a Sacred Artifact Grade pet. Its Talent is Mecha Creation, but its Talent doesn't trigger easily. It requires feeding on loot from monsters, and after reaching a certain amount, an item appears, classified into copper, silver, gold, and colorful."
After hearing this, Ye Chen was a bit shocked. This pet's Talent was incredibly powerful. He knew very well the might of the Golden Armor Battle Garment and did not expect it to be produced by a pet.
Seeing Ye Chen's astonishment, the Dark Alliance Leader said with a bitter smile, "Brother Ye Chen, don't be so surprised. Everyone thinks my pet's Talent is heaven-defying, but it really doesn't have much Attack Power or high combat Attributes. If it comes to a fight, it might not even match a Venerable Tier pet in strength."
Ye Chen understood, generally, a pet with an advantage in one aspect certainly has a corresponding weakness in another.
The Dark Alliance Leader suddenly took out a Seven-Colored Mechanical Body and placed it in front of Ye Chen.
This mechanical body was just like the Golden Mechanical Body that Shao Shuai had given Ye Chen before.
This should be the Seven-Colored Armor above the golden one.
Curiously, Ye Chen asked, "Dark Alliance Leader, what is this?"
"Brother Ye Chen, this is for you. It's something I've kept aside for a long time; a fine sword deserves a hero," the Dark Alliance Leader said with a smile.
As he spoke, he stuffed the item into Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen knew the principle of not receiving reward without effort, so he said, "Dark Alliance Leader, if there's anything, please feel free to say it."
The Dark Alliance Leader scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Actually, I want to form an alliance with Brother Ye Chen."
"Form an alliance?" Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled.
The Dark Alliance Leader nodded and said, "That's right, I want to form an alliance with you. I know that Brother Ye Chen is the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance. To be honest, the Dark Alliance's situation in the Aggregation District is not very optimistic. Our alliance's strength is the lowest among the four alliances, not as good as the other two. You know about the Heavenly Dao Alliance; as for the Demon Charm Alliance, it is the strongest."
"The Demon Charm Alliance is the strongest?" Ye Chen actually didn't know much about the Demon Charm Alliance, having only once glimpsed at its leader, Mo Sang, while entering the Hell Secret Realm. Ye Chen wasn't clear on its other details and only knew he was an exceptionally alluring man.
"Yes, Brother Ye Chen, you might not know about the Demon Charm Alliance, but I can honestly say that the Demon Charm Alliance Leader is an extremely dangerous character. What his pet is or what Skills he possesses, no one knows. I even bribed someone from the Demon Charm Alliance. He, as a Hall Master, still knows nothing."
"The only thing known is that the Demon Charm Alliance Leader has reached an astonishing LV23 level, which only I know; Chen Ruxin and Zhang Yun are unaware." The Dark Alliance Leader said mysteriously.
LV23, Ye Chen was greatly shocked because, above LV20, each level requires an enormous amount of Experience Value.
Ye Chen glanced at the Dark Alliance Leader and then at the mechanical ball in his hand, asking, "If we form an alliance, what do I need to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. This battle has already established your fame in the Aggregation District. No one doesn't know you. I just need to tell everyone that we've already formed an alliance, and then when the time comes, you cooperate by saying we've allied. To be honest, recently, the Demon Charm Alliance is already making moves against the Dark Alliance. If I announce our alliance, the Demon Charm Alliance will have to consider the relationship between us, and therefore..."
The Dark Alliance Leader's words were clear to Ye Chen.
To Ye Chen, there was no loss in this. The Seven-Colored Armor had already been given, showing sincerity.
Furthermore, given the decent relationship they had before, Ye Chen had no reason not to help.
Ye Chen put away the Seven-Colored Armor and said, "Alright, I agree. No problem with forming an alliance."
