CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 239: THE RETURN OF THE RAKSHASA

"Thank you, Brother Ye Chen!" The Alliance Leader of Darkness exclaimed joyfully.

"No need to be so polite!"

After chatting for a while longer, the two finally parted ways.

Ye Chen returned to Chen Ruxin’s side, the Alliance Leader of Darkness had already left.

"What was the Alliance Leader of Darkness looking for you for?" Chen Ruxin gently said, holding Ye Chen’s hand.

"To discuss forming an alliance."

"Oh, did you agree?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I agreed, since there’s no downside for me."

As they approached the safety zone, Yu Nian and the others walked up to them, and only then did Chen Ruxin loosen her grip on Ye Chen’s hand.

"Ye Chen, it’s seven-thirty, should we go back?" Lin Nuoyi asked.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go back, Elder Huo Yu mentioned earlier that he needs to discuss something with me."

"Alright, good!"

Ye Chen turned to look at Chen Ruxin, who had a slight look of reluctance in her eyes, but she still said, "Safe travels."

Ye Chen nodded, giving her a gentle look.

Tang Qiu and the six of them sat on the broad back of the Vajra Ape, flying towards Qing County.

Chen Ruxin watched Ye Chen leave, and then headed towards the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

At nine o’clock, Ye Chen and the others landed, standing outside the gate of the safety zone.

Tang Qiu looked at the walls, which were even higher than those of the Law Enforcement Alliance’s safety zone, and exclaimed, "The walls here are so high, they look so reassuring!"

Zhu Qiang raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, our safety zone is excellent, much better than the Law Enforcement Alliance’s zone!"

Inside the safety zone, it was still brightly lit.

The people inside had been busy all day, and the evening was the time to rest; autumn evenings were quite cool.

The people were sitting in the courtyard chatting and engaging in leisure activities.

A few were on the high platform standing guard, patrolling.

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

Today, it was Bei Wu on duty; Bei Wu moved a chair to sit behind the gate, and upon seeing Ye Chen return, he stood up and said, "Alliance Leader Ye, a group of people came this afternoon looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Ye Chen was a little puzzled.

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

Ye Chen nodded, with some doubts, as he walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of people standing together, over twenty people, chatting and laughing together.

Ye Chen recognized some familiar faces among them and was immediately overjoyed.

As if there was a tacit understanding, the twenty or so people turned their heads to look over.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, they excitedly shouted loudly, "Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

The group shouted out loud, running towards Ye Chen.

"Heaven-Devouring Tiger! Lei Yun! Rakshasa! How did you guys get here!" Ye Chen said happily, unable to hide his excitement.

Zhu Qiang, Yu Nian, and the others, upon seeing Rakshasa and the others, also grew excited.

Just in the morning, they were wondering if they had encountered any danger, and by afternoon, they had already met them.

Rakshasa clapped Ye Chen’s shoulder laughing heartily, "We came to join you! Haha, I heard you’re now an Alliance Leader, you wouldn’t turn us away, would you?"

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

At this point, Huo Yu came over, chuckling, "Let’s sit down and talk."

"Sure, come on, sit over here!"

Everyone sat down, with faces full of joy.

The long-awaited reunion among brothers was indeed something worth celebrating.

Rakshasa, sitting beside Ye Chen, sighed and said, "Ah, Brother Ye Chen, you don’t know how much we suffered. I was first captured by the Heavenly Dao Alliance people; they didn’t hit me or kill me but took good care of me. When I asked what they wanted, they wouldn’t say, so later, I found a chance to escape. Later, maybe it was fate, I ran into Heaven-Devouring Tiger and them."

Ye Chen, upon hearing this, felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed Chen Ruxin hadn’t told Rakshasa the truth, leading Rakshasa to think he was kidnapped, a beautiful misunderstanding indeed.

Ye Chen shifted his gaze to Heaven-Devouring Tiger, who said, "We had it worse. Zhang Yun told us to find you, saying if we didn’t find you, we’d have to die. At that point, we were irked, thinking that if we found you, it would certainly be bad news for you. So, it was better not staying with the Law Enforcement Alliance. Then, Lei Yun and I took our brothers and left, living a wandering life outside. Not sure how it happened, we met this idiot Rakshasa!"

"You’re the idiot! Look at yourself with that middle part hairstyle. If that’s not idiotic, then what is!"

"Hahaha!"

They playfully mocked each other amidst laughter, having a great time.

The bond between brothers is indeed pure.

Heaven-Devouring Tiger continued, "You wouldn’t know, but at the time, this idiot Rakshasa was so miserable, avoiding everyone he saw as if he was a beggar trying to escape from city management."

"You’re the miserable one; I was just afraid of being captured again by the Heavenly Dao Alliance people. Who knows what they wanted!"

"Then, we stayed together, wandering around, hunting monsters, living a nomadic life. We didn’t have any news of you. This afternoon, we saw a video in the Monster Chat Room, it was of you battling that Lord Level monster. I was stunned watching it. The brother I used to fight alongside with is now so awesome. We knew you were good, but we didn’t expect you to be this badass!"

"In the chat room, someone mentioned you’re the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance. We were surprised to find out you established an alliance. After some inquiries, we found out you were in Qing County, so we came over."

Heaven-Devouring Tiger finished, with some emotion.

Rakshasa fiddled with his fingers, laughing, "You sure are something, kid. Now, you’re an Alliance Leader and a Level 20 Pet Tamer; you’re too strong. We can’t call you Brother Ye Chen anymore; we have to call you Alliance Leader Ye now!"

"Alright, stop making fun of me!" Ye Chen playfully punched Rakshasa, laughing.

Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing.

"Honestly, Brother Chen, we’re not leaving you from now on. We have nowhere else to go and have already left the Law Enforcement Alliance. You must take us in!" Heaven-Devouring Tiger said seriously.

Ye Chen said directly, "No problem, of course, no problem. From now on, this will be your home, and you’ll be part of the Star Alliance!"

"Hahaha, I knew you were loyal!"

For the good brothers who fought alongside him in the past, Ye Chen did not treat them unfairly. He directly brought them into the Battle Alliance Token and gave Rakshasa, Heaven-Devouring Tiger, and Lei Yun the position of Elder.

The people they brought along were not low level either.

The three had now reached Level 15.

The people they brought were around Level 12, and they were quite significant in Combat Power.

Ye Chen called over Dongqing and the others, sitting them down for a meal together, getting to know each other.

Nobody was of a cold character, and soon they began to call each other brothers, hitting it off.
