Magic green leaves

The others were also unwilling to continue, pointing at Sen Mu one after another and saying, "Sen Mu, you scoundrel! We've put up with you for too long! Every single day, all you do is blabber on and on. Tell me, what else can you actually do? We're done!"

"Screw you!"

Demon Blade laughed and said, "Sen Mu, it seems you really can't teach an old dog new tricks; you're still the same as always. Now that you've provoked everyone's wrath, remember this: water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it! A person like you will be eliminated sooner or later! Whoever can kill Sen Mu, I will reward with five million gold coins, and all the equipment on Sen Mu's body will be yours!"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd instantly perked up. Sen Mu's pet was currently entangled with the Night Demon, leaving Sen Mu standing there all alone.

Killing Sen Mu was much easier than killing Demon Blade.

"Whoever kills Sen Mu gets the reward!" Demon Blade shouted.

The crowd, as if pumped with adrenaline, rushed toward Sen Mu.

"What are you doing! This is betrayal of your master!" Sen Mu panicked and shouted loudly.

Demon Blade crossed his arms and watched quietly.

"Today, I'll let you taste the feeling of being betrayed!"

A few minutes later, Sen Mu was hacked to death by the crowd. One person held Sen Mu's head and shouted excitedly, "I killed him! I killed him! It was me!"

That person took Sen Mu's head and ran to Demon Blade to claim the reward.

Demon Blade nodded with satisfaction, took out the promised reward, and threw it to the man.

Pulling a bottle of wine from nowhere, Demon Blade poured several cups onto the ground and said to the west, "Brothers, the traitor is dead. You can rest in peace now!"

Ye Chen patted Demon Blade on the shoulder.

"Brother Ye Chen, thank you! If you hadn't been here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to take that scoundrel Sen Mu's life so easily today!"

Someone plucked up the courage to approach the two of them and said respectfully, "Lord Ye Chen, Lord Demon Blade, now that Sen Mu is dead, could the two of you stay here and take charge of the Law Enforcement Alliance?"

The others followed suit, saying, "Yes, Lord Ye Chen, Lord Demon Blade, please stay here. We are willing to follow you both to the death!"

Although their Rank was not high, they were very smart and naturally understood the principle that only by following the strong could they get ahead, become stronger, and be safer.

Demon Blade laughed, "I'm not interested. You all should find someone else. Brother Ye Chen, shall we go?"

"I'm going to Z City in the Seventh Area."

"Alright. Since that guy isn't around—I don't know where he went—and I don't have anything to do lately, I'll go to Z City with you and have a look."

"Yeah, okay!"

Chen Ruxin, Ye Chen, and Demon Blade headed toward Z City.

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Brother Demon Blade, what happened between you all back then?"

He had heard from others that Demon Blade, Sen Mu, and a few others used to be very close brothers, yet now they had turned into enemies facing each other on the battlefield.

Demon Blade sighed and said, "Sigh, back at the beginning of the chaotic times, Sen Mu, myself, and four other brothers joined the Law Enforcement Alliance. We were in the same squad, and I was the captain at the time. Later, our strength grew, and our positions rose higher and higher. Gradually, everyone became a captain, a grand captain, a hall master, and even an Elder."

Ye Chen was a bit surprised. A single squad producing six Elders was an incredibly impressive feat.

"Later, we discovered a treasure vault. Sen Mu took the others there, but I had something to do and didn't go. Who would have thought that the scoundrel Sen Mu, in order to monopolize the treasure, killed them all? Then he called me over and framed me for the incident. I became the sinner in the Law Enforcement Alliance who killed his own brothers and was kicked out of the Law Enforcement Alliance by the General Commander at the time. Since then, I've only been thinking about revenge. Finally, today, I've done it!"

After Demon Blade finished speaking, the anger in his eyes turned into deep emotion.

Ye Chen fully understood Demon Blade's actions.

"Right, Brother Ye Chen, after killing Sen Mu, I obtained this item. I don't know what it is; take a look."

Demon Blade took out a green jade stone and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took it in his hand to examine it. It was a bright, emerald-green object with various intricate patterns on it, looking like an ornament.

At first, Ye Chen thought it was a plastic toy. He squeezed it hard in his hand, but the object didn't budge at all. That was when Ye Chen realized this thing wasn't so simple.

"This was found on Sen Mu's body. I saw him wearing it around his neck for a long time. I noticed it a long time ago, and today I finally took it, but I don't know what it is."

Demon Blade said, frowning slightly.

Although Ye Chen didn't know what this object was, he could be certain that it was definitely not simple.

"I don't know what it is either, but I quite like it. I wonder if Brother Demon Blade could transfer it to me? I am willing to..."

Before Ye Chen could state the terms of exchange, Demon Blade laughed, "If you like it, just take it. There's no need for such formalities between us. I have to thank you for today's events anyway."

Ye Chen knew Demon Blade's temper; if he refused again, it would seem too distant.

After saying thank you, Ye Chen put the item away.

Arriving at Z City, the three of them slowly descended.

Outside the main gate of the Safe Zone, many people were gathered, and it was unclear what they were doing.

Yu Nian and a few others were busy outside the gate. Seeing Ye Chen return, Yu Nian quickly went up to greet him, "Ye Chen, you're back. Hello, Leader Chen? Who is this?"

"This is Demon Blade, a good friend of mine."

"Hello, Mr. Demon Blade! You, come with me!" Yu Nian grabbed Ye Chen and hurried inside in a panic.

Yu Nian, who was usually steady, had become so anxious. Ye Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong? What's the rush?"

"Sigh, it's because those people have all come back, and they are currently arguing about some things."

Arriving at the front, they found someone arguing loudly with Fire Feather.

"Who do you think you are! Does your word even count! You say our Alliance should go there, so we must go? We don't agree! We choose Lian Yuan District! We don't want any other place."

Fire Feather retorted angrily, "Watch your mouth! This is Z City. The fact that you could come back this time is all thanks to Ye Chen. I am an Elder of the Star Alliance; who are you to tell me what I am!"

"So what if you're the Star Alliance! Can your Star Alliance be the only one in charge! No matter how awesome Ye Chen is, he can't be unreasonable! I'm telling you! We've set our sights on the territory of Lian Yuan District today! If you don't give it to us, we will completely break away from Z City!"

The man shouted loudly at Fire Feather, relying on his LV52 Rank, and completely disregarding the LV49 Fire Feather.

"Fine, if you want to leave, then go ahead! Z City is a small temple that can't hold a big Buddha like you. Hurry up and leave! Don't waste your breath here anymore!"

Ye Chen's voice rang out. Seeing the arrogant look on that man's face, Ye Chen felt disgusted. Daring to speak to his people like that—did he think he was Hello Kitty or something?

"Brother Ye Chen, you're back!" Fire Feather said with a smile, greeting him.

When that man saw Ye Chen, his pupils constricted. He subconsciously took two steps back and said with a fawning expression, "Lord Ye Chen, you've arrived."
