Kill the informer Gu Ming

Watching the group fight like dogs, Yu Nian couldn't help but laugh from the side.

Zhu Qiang looked at them and said, "How about you fight it out? Whoever wins gets to call the shots!"

Their eyes lit up instantly, and they said, "Really? If we fight and win, will you let us go?"

None of them dared to harbor any thoughts of escaping now.

After all, Blood Asura was watching right beside them.

A Rank 11 pet could kill them in a matter of seconds.

Ye Chen also thought Zhu Qiang's proposal was good and said, "Fine, but the rules need to be changed slightly. If the four of you defeat him, you only need to leave behind one hand. If you kill him, you can leave safely."

No sooner had Ye Chen finished speaking than one of them picked up a dagger and stabbed Gu Ming in the stomach.

Gu Ming's pupils dilated suddenly. Enduring the pain, he retreated rapidly while simultaneously summoning Furious Sea Mad Shark.

"Furious Sea Mad Shark, kill them!"

Furious Sea Mad Shark looked at these people, somewhat confused.

In the eyes of Furious Sea Mad Shark, these people were all former teammates.

Gu Ming roared again, "Furious Sea Mad Shark! Kill them!"

One of them complained to the person who stabbed him, "You really are something. Why stab the stomach? Don't you know to go for the heart or slit the throat!"

Yu Nian and Lin Nuoyi frowned; these people were truly ruthless.

Zhu Qiang laughed from the side, "Perhaps this is the legendary 'meek to enemies, heavy-handed to teammates'."

The four also summoned their pets and charged at Gu Ming.

Before long, the five of them were brawling together.

Although Gu Ming had a Rank advantage, he was only one Rank higher than the other four.

The four were extremely familiar with Furious Sea Mad Shark's fighting style.

Before long, Furious Sea Mad Shark was completely on the defensive.

In less than ten minutes, Furious Sea Mad Shark was beaten to death by the four.

Gu Ming's eyes were filled with unwillingness; he died with deep resentment.

The four looked at Ye Chen and said with a chuckle, "Brother Chen, we've killed Gu Ming. Can we go now?"

Ye Chen glanced at the four, nodded, and smiled, "Sure, go ahead."

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

The four were very polite, bowing and thanking Ye Chen repeatedly.

With that, they turned and walked away.

Ye Chen watched their retreating backs and glanced at Blood Asura.

Blood Asura understood immediately.

Shadow Assault!

In the blink of an eye, Blood Asura arrived above the four.

Blood Asura landed in front of them, its Death Scythe spinning rapidly.

As soon as the four saw Blood Asura, their pupils dilated instantly, and they collapsed to the ground.

With that single strike, Blood Asura had slit the throats of all four.

They died instantly.

Lin Nuoyi said with some surprise, "Ye Chen, what, what are you doing? Didn't you say you'd let them go?"

Ye Chen sneered, "Do you think people like them won't stab us in the back in the future?"

Lin Nuoyi said, "Alright."

She understood the logic in what Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen collected the Experience Capsules dropped by the five and put the useful loot into his inventory.

As for the useless loot, Lin Nuoyi tossed it into her backpack like trash.

Ye Chen handed the four Experience Capsules to his teammates.

Zhu Qiang's expression brightened, and he said, "Piggy Dragon, you can level up now."

With that, the four used them on their respective pets.

Piggy Dragon, King Kong Ape, Beauty Snake, and Flower Fairy successfully reached Rank 9.

Ye Chen planned to store the last Experience Capsule to use later.

Just then, Little One ran over, pointed at the Experience Capsule in Ye Chen's hand, and said, "This, I want it, I want it too!"

Ye Chen was curious about what Little One wanted with the Experience Capsule, but he handed it to Little One anyway.

Little One picked up the Experience Capsule and tossed it directly into its mouth.

Experience points + 3700!

"Ah!"

Everyone was stunned; the Experience Capsule actually worked on Little One.

Ye Chen was greatly shocked.

Monsters were useless to Little One, but the Experience Capsules dropped after a Pet Master died were useful to her.

Did he have to kill more Pet Masters in the future to nurture Blood Asura?

Ye Chen quickly dismissed this idea.

However, it was a good thing to know that Little One had a way to level up.

Ye Chen checked the time; it was just past one in the afternoon.

Lin Nuoyi asked, "Should we take a break? Or go directly to the next place?"

Ye Chen strode forward and said, "Let's go directly to the next place. This place is not suitable for a long stay."

Seeing the corpses of Gu Ming and the other four, the group understood what had happened and turned to follow Ye Chen.

Lin Nuoyi was still a bit worried and said, "Ye Chen, the people we let go, Li Fangqi and the others—aren't you worried they'll go back to the Divine Martial Department and report us?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Report us? He should be thanking the heavens that we don't go looking for him to settle scores. As for him daring to report us? Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."

Thinking of Li Fangqi's character, Lin Nuoyi felt reassured.

At 1:57 PM, Ye Chen and his group arrived next to an office building.

The office building here was surprisingly intact.

However, Ye Chen soon discovered that this office building had been repaired, and many people in white robes were standing on the ground floor.

Lin Nuoyi explained, "This is the headquarters of the Tiandao Alliance. Those wearing white robes are all from the Tiandao Alliance."

Ye Chen nodded, understanding the situation.

Ye Chen didn't know much about the Tiandao Alliance, only that it was a suddenly rising faction.

And during the recent partitioning of the Smiling Face Alliance, they had received the most territory.

Zhu Qiang said from the side, "The leader of the Tiandao Alliance is truly beautiful. She has a slender figure, curves in all the right places, skin like white snow, and an exquisitely delicate face. She's in her twenties, a perfect young matron—she's simply my dream goddess."

Zhu Qiang looked at the top floor of the office building, swooning.

Lin Nuoyi rolled her eyes at Piggy Dragon and said, "Wipe that lecherous look off your face; you're almost drooling."

Zhu Qiang quickly wiped away his drool and chuckled twice.

Ye Chen looked at Lin Nuoyi and said, "Is the monster we're hunting inside this office building?"

Lin Nuoyi shook her head and said, "No, we're just passing by. The monster is behind the office building, in a cold storage unit not far away."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Let's go."

The group continued walking forward.

Ye Chen looked up at the office building.

The very top of the office building had been arranged into a sky garden, with a swimming pool in the middle.

The leader of the Tiandao Alliance, Chen Ruxin, was talking with a man wearing a black cloak.

The man's eyes were cold, and he said in a low, angry voice, "Don't forget how you rose to power! This time, you must do as I say!"

Chen Ruxin said with a stern expression, "Just for one plan, you want to sacrifice so many people? I will not agree to this!"

"Chen Ruxin, don't be ungrateful. I'll give you three days to consider. If you don't agree, I will kill every member of your Tiandao Alliance I see! Think about it carefully!"

With that, the man's cloak flared, and he turned and left.

Chen Ruxin held a red wine glass in one hand, her brows furrowed tightly.
