I want to sign a life and death agreement with Ye Chen

Wang Zhan patted the table, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Only then did the crowd close their mouths, waiting for Wang Zhan to speak.

Wang Zhan cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, you must have all seen the news from yesterday. I would like to ask, does anyone have anything to say?"

The crowd fell silent, and the leader of the Luqin Alliance spoke up, "Lord Wang Zhan, I don't think this matter is that serious. Just like before, it's all thunder but little rain; it's nothing to worry about."

"Leader of the Luqin Alliance, you can't say that. You must know that the monsters that descended this time are Rank 31 or higher, and their strength and Rank are terrifyingly high. If a monster of Rank 50 or higher appears, I feel that none of us will be able to withstand it!" one person said.

This person was right; a monster of Rank 50 or higher would be enough to wipe out all of them.

Lin Jingtian said, "I feel that for this matter, we still need the Human Race to unite. Lord Wang Zhan, I would like to ask, does the upper echelon of the Human Race have any instructions?"

Wang Zhan's expression was somewhat gloomy, "There are none, but high-powered weapons are currently being developed, though they haven't been completed yet."

Once these words were spoken, the crowd's mood sank.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Chen spoke up, "This matter is not as complicated as you imagine. From the information, we can see that all monsters of Rank 31 or higher have awakened their intelligence. That means one thing: they are Advanced creatures with intelligence and wisdom, unlike those low-strength monsters that only know how to attack wantonly."

"Therefore, they also know how to weigh the pros and cons and won't attack us humans at will. Why do we hunt monsters? Isn't it for items, for loot, for experience to increase our Rank? Similarly, monsters hunt us for these same reasons. I think those high-Rank monsters won't attack us. Conflicts between the two sides are nothing more than a matter of interests, right?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone nodded.

"Alliance Leader Ye Chen is right. Since ancient times, no matter what happens, conflicts and wars are nothing more than for the sake of interests."

"Yes, Alliance Leader Ye Chen makes a lot of sense. We hunt monsters just to increase our Rank; it's all because of interests."

One person looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Alliance Leader Ye Chen, what do you mean by saying all this?"

Ye Chen said, "What I mean is, monsters hunt us definitely to increase their Rank and obtain items. Those high-Rank monsters shouldn't be interested in us, just like how we wouldn't be interested in a Rank 8 monster, because the experience points provided by a Rank 8 monster are of no real help to us. Similarly, we are the same in front of high-Rank monsters."

"Moreover, as far as I know, hunting between monsters also yields quite a few good things, just like how we humans hunt each other to obtain experience capsules. Monsters are not as united as we imagine; they are even more complex than us humans. After all, they are divided into races, and there is an antagonistic relationship between races!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly enlightened!

"Brother Ye Chen is right. There are conflicts of interest among monsters too; they are not as united as we imagined!"

"The last monster siege was entirely organized by that Rank 30 Lisandra. This situation didn't happen elsewhere. She was able to organize it because her Rank was the highest, but in the future, there will be plenty of monsters with even higher Ranks. Thinking about it this way, those monsters are nothing special. As long as they don't launch a collective attack on us, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Only then did a smile appear on everyone's faces.

Seeing that everyone was excited, Ye Chen seized the opportunity and said, "Since everyone understands this principle, then everyone also understands our advantage as humans: we know how to be united. Therefore, we humans should unite. I hope that incidents of killing each other like in the past will not happen again."

Most people immediately seconded this, "Yes! Brother Ye Chen is right. We humans must unite. We can't be killed by our own people before even being killed by monsters; wouldn't that be stupid!"

"Yes, we cannot kill each other anymore; we should unite!"

Ye Chen gave Wang Zhan a wink. Wang Zhan immediately understood and said, "Everyone, since that's the case, let's establish an agreement here: mutual killing is not allowed between us!"

"I agree!"

"I second that!"

"No problem!"

Everyone present expressed their agreement.

At this moment, someone asked, "Lord Wang Zhan, what if we need to compete for resources in the future?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Compete for resources? Then both sides will have a battle, and whoever loses will withdraw!"

"What if both sides insist on fighting to the death?" Chen Dalong asked, and he glanced at Ye Chen.

"Then it can only be 1v1! No large-scale group battles are allowed! How about that?"

"Fine! No problem!"

"No problem!"

"Good!"

Everyone nodded again.

Suddenly, Chen Dalong stood up and said, "Lord Wang Zhan, I want to sign a life-and-death pact with Ye Chen. We will determine the winner, but also decide life and death!"

Chen Dalong glared at Ye Chen, and his domineering aura was immediately revealed.

"Ah!"

"What!"

The crowd was shocked.

Wang Zhan slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Chen Dalong! Do not mess around!"

"I am not messing around. My grudge with this Ye Chen has not been a day or two. I have wanted to kill him for a long time. It was he who forced me to this point. Some time ago, he humiliated my brother in the Aggregation Zone! And he even said he would visit me personally! I am giving him this opportunity now! Come on, Ye Chen, do you dare!"

"Chen Dalong!" Wang Zhan shouted loudly!

"Lord Wang Zhan, you don't need to persuade me. Today, I must kill this Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen! Do you dare! If you don't dare, just kneel down and kowtow to me, and I will forgive you!"

Lin Jingtian and Mo Sang looked at each other and smiled in unison with a tacit understanding.

Wang Zhan was just about to say something.

Ye Chen waved his hand at Wang Zhan and said, "Brother Wang Zhan, you don't need to say anything. Today, I will fulfill his wish. Chen Dalong, right? I promise you. When and where, you name it."

"Right now, right outside the door. Today, all Alliance Leaders and all leaders, you all be witnesses. Today, Ye Chen and I will sign a life-and-death pact. Regardless of who lives or dies, neither side is allowed to cause trouble for the other's faction in the future!"

"Good!"

Wang Zhan sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Ye Chen! Please!"

Ye Chen nodded and walked outside.

Arriving outside the Law Enforcement Alliance, there was just an open space.

The two came to the middle of the open space, while the others stood to the side.

"Who do you think will live and who will die?"

"Probably Chen Dalong. Chen Dalong is Rank 30, and his strength is very fierce. Previously in Daozhe County, he had a conflict with Na Yukun. If not for the local Law Enforcement Alliance people stopping him, Na Yukun would have been beaten to death by Chen Dalong!"
