An Ji is promoted to LV4

Shao Shuai looked puzzled and said, "Hall Master, we are leaving just like this? We haven't obtained the box yet!"

Hall Master Guang Ling looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "There are too many people. It's meaningless to let our brothers suffer heavy casualties for just one item."

Shao Shuai helplessly said, "Alright."

"Everyone, we will not compete with you. Farewell! Dark Alliance, retreat!"

Hall Master Guang Ling shouted loudly, and the members of the Dark Alliance withdrew from the battlefield one after another, walking towards the distance.

The rest of the people on the scene were bewildered.

"What is going on? That old fox Hall Master Guang Ling just left like that?"

Enforcement Team Captain Jiang Guang expressed his confusion, unable to figure it out.

The others shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

It wasn't just Jiang Guang who was confused; everyone else felt puzzled as well.

Hall Master Guang Ling's strength was definitely in the top three among these people, plus his four fierce subordinates; he had the best chance of obtaining this mysterious box.

And he just left so easily?

Everyone found it hard to believe. Niu Zhi cursed under his breath, calling him an old fox.

However, Hall Master Guang Ling's departure did not stop the others from pressuring Mo Bai.

"Mo Bai! Hand over the item quickly, and we will spare your life!"

"If you don't hand it over, we'll work together to finish you off."

"You don't dare to admit you got the box; what kind of hero are you?"

"Why waste words with him? Just do it."

...

Ye Chen and the others had already arrived in the distance. Shao Shuai was unhappy and unwilling to give up: "I said Hall Master, we just left like this. How are we going to report back?"

Hall Master Guang Ling laughed out loud, looked at Ye Chen, and said with a smile, "Little Brother Ye Chen, take it out!"

The others, including Lin Nuoyi and her group, were suddenly shocked and looked at Ye Chen with curiosity.

Ye Chen took the mysterious box out of his inventory and held it in his hand.

"This! This is!"

Shao Shuai's pupils dilated instantly, staring blankly at the mysterious box.

Fang Tianling was also extremely surprised.

Zhu Qiang was even more excited and shouted repeatedly: "Brother Chen, how did you do it!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and made up a reason.

Everyone's attention was on the box at this moment, so they didn't pay attention to what Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen handed the mysterious box to Hall Master Guang Ling. Hall Master Guang Ling held the box and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that this mysterious box would still fall into the hands of our Dark Alliance!"

Shao Shuai patted Ye Chen's shoulder excitedly and said, "Brother Ye Chen, you have made a great contribution this time! When we meet our Alliance leader later, there will definitely be a great reward!"

Ye Chen suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Shao Shuai, do we still have to meet your Alliance leader?"

Shao Shuai's expression froze instantly, and he said in confusion, "Yes, why? You don't want to meet him? Let me tell you, our Alliance leader is a very good person!"

Ye Chen did not speak.

Lin Nuoyi stepped forward, tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve, and shook her head at him.

Ye Chen looked at Zhu Qiang and the others; they were also unwilling to go.

Ye Chen was suddenly in a difficult position.

Hall Master Guang Ling saw Ye Chen's hesitation and said, "If Little Brother Ye Chen doesn't want to go, you don't have to. When we meet next time, I will give you the Alliance leader's reward then."

Ye Chen looked at Hall Master Guang Ling, whose expression was natural and not at all displeased.

Only then did Ye Chen feel relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks to Hall Master Guang Ling for understanding. Then we will take our leave first!"

Shao Shuai wanted to say something, but Ye Chen shook his head at him, so he had to sigh.

Hall Master Guang Ling smiled and said, "See you later!"

"See you later!"

After saying goodbye to Hall Master Guang Ling and the others, Ye Chen and his group walked in another direction.

After walking far away, Lin Nuoyi let out a long breath: "That scared me to death. The battle just now was too terrifying and too bloody."

Although the group had fought many times, most of them were against monsters. This was the first time they had participated in such a large-scale battle.

Unexpectedly, when humans fought each other, they were even more brutal than monsters.

Zhu Qiang said unhappily: "Brother Chen, you just gave him the box like that. So many people were fighting over it; it must be a good thing. When you got the box just now, nobody knew. You could have completely hidden it!"

Ye Chen patted Zhu Qiang's shoulder and smiled: "There's no need. It's just an equipment box, and it needs a key to open. Besides, we already owed Shao Shuai a favor, and this just happened to repay him."

Zhu Qiang curled his lips and said nothing.

Ye Chen and the others came to an abandoned residential building, walked in, and chose a room that looked clean enough.

The room was a three-bedroom, two-living room layout. Judging by the layout and decoration style, it should have belonged to a young family of three.

A family portrait of the three of them was still hanging in the living room.

Everyone lay on the sofa and let out a long breath.

"Ah! I'm exhausted!"

Lin Nuoyi stretched. Ye Chen looked at Zhu Qiang. Before Ye Chen could speak, Zhu Qiang poured everything out, and Yu Nian also poured the confiscated loot onto the table.

Zhu Qiang rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Brother Chen, we've made a fortune this time. I looted fifteen Experience Capsules, plus a pile of spoils. However, these guys were quite poor; they were all small health recovery potions and some qi and blood pills."

Yu Nian said: "I have five Experience Capsules here, plus some loot."

The quality of the loot she collected was much higher, after all, there were two Rank 7s.

Ye Chen did a simple count:

14 Experience Capsules of Rank LV4 (400 EXP).

3 Experience Capsules of Rank LV5 (500 EXP).

1 Experience Capsule of Rank LV6 (900 EXP).

2 Experience Capsules of Rank LV7 (1600 EXP).

54 small health recovery potions.

16 qi and blood pills.

1 shadow stone.

2 wind stones.

1 wood spirit stone.

The rest were useless trash, among which there were only six relatively good items.

A Gravel Earth Bottle, which is a consumable; a Green Thorn Chain; and four other consumables.

There was a bit more gold, totaling 3,900 coins.

Yu Nian sighed and said: "I didn't have time to collect the things from those two Rank 7 squad leaders before Mo Bai snatched them away."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, these things are enough!"

He distributed the Experience Capsules very reasonably, with each person getting 2,200 experience points.

After Lin Nuoyi, Yu Nian, and the others consumed the experience points, they were each still half the experience away from Rank LV5.

The 2,200 experience points in Ye Chen's hands were not used on Blood Asura, as she was still far from leveling up.

Dark Ji, however, was an expert at killing, looting, and operating in the shadows.

2,200 experience points were enough for Dark Ji to level up.

Ye Chen did not hesitate and used it directly on Dark Ji.

Zhu Qiang said happily: "This time we really made a killing. It's like picking up money. Don't you think so, Piggy Dragon!"

Piggy Dragon jumped around and grunted twice to express agreement.
