Yu Nian agreed to join the team

"I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"

Yu Nian's expression became extremely ferocious, her beautiful face filled with rage and killing intent.

She gnashed her teeth and shouted: "I want revenge, I want revenge, they all have to die."

Ye Chen understood Yu Nian's feelings perfectly at that moment. Seeing the family she had always protected die right before her eyes—no one would feel good about that.

At that moment, he didn't know how to persuade her either.

Whoosh!

After venting her anger, Yu Nian suddenly ran towards a certain location.

"After her!"

Ye Chen turned to Lin Nuoyi and the others and said, "You guys bury the bodies first, I'll follow her!"

Lin Nuoyi nodded and said, "Alright, be careful! We'll handle things here."

Ye Chen quickly caught up to Yu Nian, who was currently running due south.

Filled with rage, Yu Nian was running extremely fast without a moment's pause.

At the entrance of a remote factory, Yu Nian finally stopped, standing there gasping for air.

She had tracked the trail here. Barring any surprises, the people inside should be the murderers.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Nian moved to open the door. Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulder.

"Don't be impulsive. What difference is there between barging in like this and walking to your death?"

Yu Nian's entire body was trembling, her anger unabated. "So what if it's walking to my death? All my family is dead. What's the point of me living alone? Even if I die, I'll drag them down with me."

"I'm not usually like this, but this time... they deserve to die."

Slowing his speech, Ye Chen gently advised, "You need to understand, the ones who really caused your family's deaths are the Azure Alliance. With your own strength alone, can you stand against this Alliance?"

"But I..."

Yu Nian gradually calmed down, her thinking regaining clarity. She looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"As things stand, fighting alone, you definitely can't contend with the Azure Alliance..."

"I want to join you!"

A thought suddenly occurred to Yu Nian. "Captain Ye Chen, please help me get revenge. I'll do anything you ask from now on."

"Alright then!"

Ye Chen fell silent, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I can help you get revenge. When the time comes, you join my team, and we'll grow stronger together."

"For now, let's just kill everyone inside. A small revenge first."

Yu Nian immediately nodded. "Good! We'll do as you say. We'll kill these people first, and later uproot the entire Azure Alliance."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, a smile also appearing on his face. He had finally managed to persuade her into the team.

Although Yu Nian's own strength was weak, her pet possessed control skills, which were very useful to him.

"Before that, tell me about the strength of the people inside."

Yu Nian calmed her emotions and said, "I don't know how many people are inside, but I know this is an outpost of the Azure Alliance. It's a small team from the Azure Alliance inside. The captain is called Jin Tao, and he has a Level 5 pet."

Ye Chen then felt relieved.

If the captain was Level 5, then the other members surely wouldn't exceed Level 5, at most Level 4. It seemed similar to the Tian Xuhao they had encountered before.

Tian Xuhao had already been dealt with by him. His team members wouldn't escape either; they would be eliminated sooner or later.

Not long after, Ye Chen formulated a battle plan. "Alright then, we'll sneak in quietly and attack them directly in a moment."

Yu Nian nodded in agreement, following Ye Chen as they searched the factory wall, found a collapsed section, and peered inside.

They discovered six people currently sitting in the courtyard, with a fire pit in the middle, eating barbecue.

The evening wind whistled. The six drank beer and ate barbecue, very much at ease.

Six pets sat to the side:

[Flame Hunt Bird]

Rank: LV6

Attribute: Fire

Skill: Flaming Wings

Tier: Legendary (4th Tier)

Talent: Fireworks (Unawakened)

Combat Power: 1800

HP: 36000

...

"Level 6?"

Ye Chen's heart jolted, then he understood what had happened. After killing Yu Zhen and Yu Guang, they must have absorbed their pets' experience, otherwise it couldn't have leveled up this fast.

The pets of the other five were all Level 4, 3rd Tier Elite.

Not much of a threat.

Ye Chen whispered to Yu Nian, "We'll deal with those lackeys first, then finish off Jin Tao."

"Throw the Incineration Pearl directly, then have Flower Fairy bind them. I'll have Blood Asura take care of them directly."

"Okay!"

Yu Nian waited for the right moment. During this time, two people had gone to the restroom and hadn't returned yet.

Ye Chen and Yu Nian had no choice but to wait quietly.

"Boss, I heard that kid Tian Xuhao died?"

Jin Tao took a swig of beer and laughed heartily. "Yeah, don't know who killed him. The Alliance is investigating now, probably will get news soon. But it's good that punk died. Both of us have fire-attribute pets. With him dead, we have a chance to return to the core area, right? Haha! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get Firebird to Level 6."

One person flattered, "Boss is right. Only after reaching Level 6 do we have a chance to go back. This godforsaken backwater is no match for the core area. By the way, boss, did you finish off that Yu family bunch?"

"Of course. But that Yu Nian wasn't there. That woman is really something. I didn't touch them before precisely because of her. Hiding in a cave, thinking I didn't know? How stupid, hahaha!"

Jin Tao laughed wildly. Yu Nian, listening nearby, had long been grinding her teeth. "These bastards!"

At that moment, the other two had returned.

"Come on, everyone's here. To returning to the core area tomorrow, cheers!"

The six stood up, raising their cups and clinking them together.

Ye Chen said in a low voice, "Now!"

Yu Nian didn't hesitate in the slightest. She took out the Incineration Pearl and threw it directly.

Boom!

Flames instantly erupted, burning fiercely, surrounding the group in the middle.

The six were greatly alarmed, hurriedly commanding their pets to rescue them.

The Flame Hunt Bird quickly took action, grabbing Jin Tao in its beak, swiftly carrying him out, then opening its large mouth to rapidly suck away the flames on Jin Tao.

Flower Fairy's figure flashed out quickly, green light shining from her body. A green seed instantly appeared on each of the five people in the flames.

The seeds immediately burst, a net of vines tightly wrapping around the five.

Blood Asura didn't hesitate in the slightest.

His figure vanished.

The next second, he appeared directly before the five.

Red light flashed, blood sprayed, and the five instantly fell to the ground, motionless.

In less than ten seconds.

The five were already dead, their pets perishing one after another.

Jin Tao, looking at the five dead men, immediately cried out, going berserk:

"Damn it, who's there? Show yourself!"

When he saw Flower Fairy, he flew into a rage. "Yu Nian, I know it's you. Come out!"

Yu Nian stepped out, her icy eyes fixed on Jin Tao. "You killed my family. Today, you will die."

Jin Tao then laughed heartily. "Just the two of you? Where did you find this pretty boy?"

Though he said this, he still assessed Ye Chen's strength.

"A Level 4, 7th Tier pet?"

Jin Tao instantly became alert. However, alert as he was, thinking of his own pet having reached Level 6, he relaxed considerably.

Sweeping away his shock, he couldn't help but laugh. "Not bad, not bad. You really do love me, specially delivering experience. Even a Level 4, 7th Tier pet is formidable, but it's still no match for me!"

Looking at the utterly arrogant Jin Tao, Ye Chen said coolly, "Oh, is that so? I wonder how much stronger you are compared to that Tian Xuhao?"

Ye Chen looked at Jin Tao with a cold smile. Hearing this, the latter's face instantly changed dramatically.

"Y-you killed Tian Xuhao?"

"Judging by your tone, it seems your strength is inferior to Tian Xuhao's!"

Ye Chen looked at Jin Tao with a cold smile, his eyes fixed on Jin Tao's right hand.

Sure enough.

This guy's right hand was fumbling with something in his pocket.

Going to send a message again?
