Rakshasa Returns

"Thank you, Brother Ye Chen!" the Darkness Alliance Leader said with great joy.

"No need to be so polite!"

After chatting for a while longer, the two of them departed.

Ye Chen returned to Chen Ruxin, and the Darkness Alliance Leader had already left.

"What did the Darkness Alliance Leader want with you?" Chen Ruxin asked gently, holding Ye Chen's hand.

"He wanted to talk to me about forming an Alliance."

"Oh, did you agree?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I agreed. After all, it does me no harm."

As they approached the Safe Zone, Yu Nian and the others walked toward them, and Chen Ruxin let go of Ye Chen's hand.

"Ye Chen, it's 7:30. Should we head back?" Lin Nuoyi asked.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back. Elder Fire Feather mentioned earlier that he had something to discuss with me."

"Mm, okay!"

Ye Chen turned to look at Chen Ruxin. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she still said, "Have a safe trip."

Ye Chen nodded, offering her a gentle look.

Taking Tang Qiu with them, the six of them sat on the broad back of the King Kong Ape and flew toward Qing County.

Chen Ruxin watched Ye Chen leave before heading toward the Tiandao Alliance.

At nine o'clock, the six of them landed and stood outside the main gate of the Safe Zone.

Looking at the wall, which was even higher than the wall of the Law Enforcement Alliance Safe Zone, Tang Qiu said in surprise, "The wall here is so high; it looks so secure!"

Zhu Qiang raised his head proudly and said, "Of course! Our Safe Zone is really great—much better than that Law Enforcement Alliance Safe Zone of yours!"

At this time, the Safe Zone was still brightly lit.

The people inside had been busy all day, and evening was the time for rest. The autumn night was quite cool.

People were sitting in the courtyard, chatting and engaging in leisure activities.

On the high platform, several people were standing guard and patrolling.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others return, they immediately saluted respectfully.

Today was Bei Wu's shift. He had moved a chair to sit behind the main gate, and seeing Ye Chen return, he stood up and said, "Alliance Leader Ye, a group of people came this afternoon saying they wanted to find you."

"Find me?" Ye Chen was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, they are sitting in the courtyard. Why don't you go take a look?"

Ye Chen nodded and walked toward the courtyard, filled with some confusion.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw a group of more than twenty people standing together, chatting and laughing.

Ye Chen saw several familiar figures among them and was instantly filled with excitement.

As if by some great unspoken understanding, the twenty-plus people turned to look over.

When they saw Ye Chen, they immediately shouted excitedly, "Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

The group shouted loudly and ran toward Ye Chen.

"Devouring Sky Tiger! Thunder Cloud! Rakshasa! How did you all get here?" Ye Chen said happily, unable to hide his excitement.

Seeing Rakshasa and the others, Zhu Qiang, Yu Nian, and the others also became excited.

That morning, they were still wondering if the others had encountered any danger, and yet they saw them that very afternoon.

Rakshasa patted Ye Chen's shoulder and laughed heartily, "We've come to join you! Haha, I heard you're an Alliance Leader now. You wouldn't refuse to take us in, would you?"

"Of course not! How did you find this place? I heard you had gone missing, and I thought you were in danger!"

At this moment, Fire Feather walked over and chuckled, "Let's sit down and talk."

"Alright, come, sit over here!"

Everyone sat to one side, their faces full of joy.

A reunion between brothers after a long separation was indeed a very happy occasion.

Rakshasa sat beside Ye Chen and sighed, "Sigh, Brother Ye Chen, you have no idea how much we suffered. I was first captured by people from the Tiandao Alliance. They didn't beat me or kill me; they treated me quite well. When I asked them what they wanted, they wouldn't say. Later, I found an opportunity to escape. Afterward, perhaps it was fate, I ran into Devouring Sky Tiger and the others."

Ye Chen felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this. It seemed Chen Ruxin hadn't told Rakshasa the truth, leading him to think he had been kidnapped. It was truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

Ye Chen looked at Devouring Sky Tiger, who said, "We had it even worse. That Zhang Yun told us to find you and said if we couldn't find you, we should just die. We got annoyed at that. Listening to his tone, if we found you, it would definitely be disadvantageous to you. There was no point in staying in that Law Enforcement Alliance. So, Thunder Cloud and I took our brothers and left, living a life of wandering outside. Later, somehow, we ran into this jerk Rakshasa!"

"You're the jerk! Look at your appearance, you even have a middle part. If you're not a jerk, what are you?"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone chatted, laughed, and teased each other, feeling very happy.

The bond between brothers was just that pure.

Devouring Sky Tiger continued, "You don't know how miserable this jerk Rakshasa was at the time. He was all alone, hiding from everyone, like a beggar being chased by the police."

"You're the miserable one! I was just afraid of being caught by the Tiandao Alliance again. Who knows what they were planning to do!"

"Then, we got together, wandering around, hunting monsters, and living the life of a scattered team. We didn't know any news about you. This afternoon, we saw a video in the Monster Chat Room. It was the video of you battling that Lord-Rank monster. I was stunned when I saw it. The brother we used to fight alongside is now so badass. We knew you were badass, but we didn't expect you to be this badass!"

"Someone in the chat room said you were the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, and we were stunned. We didn't expect you to have established an Alliance. Later, we asked around, learned you were in Qing County, and rushed over."

Devouring Sky Tiger finished, feeling quite emotional.

Rakshasa cracked his knuckles and laughed, "You're doing well for yourself, kid. You're an Alliance Leader now, and even a LV20 Rank Pet Master. You're just too strong. In the future, I can't call you Brother Ye Chen; I'll have to call you Alliance Leader Ye!"

"Alright, stop mocking me!" Ye Chen punched Rakshasa lightly and laughed.

The group sat together, chatting and laughing.

"Seriously, Brother Chen, we're going to follow you from now on and not leave. We have nowhere else to go now; we've already left the Law Enforcement Alliance. You have to take us in!" Devouring Sky Tiger said earnestly.

Ye Chen said directly, "No problem, of course that's no problem. From now on, this is your home, and from now on, you are all people of the Star Alliance!"

"Hahaha, I knew you valued loyalty!"

Ye Chen did not treat his good brothers, whom he had fought alongside in the past, unfairly. He brought them directly into the War Alliance token and gave Rakshasa, Devouring Sky Tiger, and Thunder Cloud the positions of Elder.

The people they brought were not low in Rank.

The three of them had now reached LV15 Rank.

The people they brought were also around LV12 Rank, which was a significant fighting force.

Ye Chen called over East Green and the others, and they all sat down to have a meal together to get to know each other.

None of them were cold-natured, and before long, they were calling each other brothers and getting along famously.
