Secrets of the Cyan Alliance

Piggy Dragon suddenly stood up, grunting once.

Its mouth suddenly opened.

Piggy Dragon's originally bluish-green skin actually began to slowly writhe, gradually returning to its original appearance.

Zhu Qiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Piggy Dragon had already activated its skill.

Devour.

It sucks all of the enemy's skills into its body. After Piggy Dragon's Devour skill devours them, it does not take damage.

It only immobilizes itself in place!

Zhu Qiang excitedly shouted: 'Piggy Dragon, clever!'

Ye Chen and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Poison Scorpion's expression was not good!

Poison Scorpion angrily cursed: 'Giant Stinger Scorpion, continue the attack!'

The Giant Stinger Scorpion dragged its thick, long poisonous stinger as it walked towards Piggy Dragon.

But Blood Asura would not give it this chance.

Whoosh!

Shadow Assault!

Blood Asura appeared before the Giant Stinger Scorpion in an instant, the Blood God Scythe slashing across the poisonous stinger on its tail.

Sss!

A snapping sound rang out.

The poisonous stinger behind the Giant Stinger Scorpion instantly fell to the ground.

24000!

This strike landed on its tail and did not cause very high damage.

However, the Giant Stinger Scorpion losing its stinger was like a poisonous snake with its fangs pulled.

King Kong Ape immediately stood in front of Piggy Dragon, blocking the other enemies charging forward.

Blood Asura then engaged the Giant Stinger Scorpion in battle.

This Blood Asura completely overwhelmed the Giant Stinger Scorpion.

The Blood God Scythe continuously hacked and slashed at the Giant Stinger Scorpion's body.

The Giant Stinger Scorpion had a layer of hard armor on its body, blocking quite a bit of damage.

Blood Asura activated Critical Strike and Bloodthirst, only managing to deal 19000 damage to it.

Although the damage was not as high as imagined, the Giant Stinger Scorpion, relying only on its two pincers, had no way to handle Blood Asura at all.

Blood Asura was already in an invincible position, and she finally let out a giggling laugh.

The blood-red wings behind her fluttered.

Her speed increased by another large margin.

She continued to launch extremely fast attacks against the Giant Stinger Scorpion.

Before long, the Giant Stinger Scorpion had less than twenty-five thousand HP left.

At this moment, Poison Scorpion shouted loudly: 'Stop! I have something to say!'

Ye Chen said in a low voice: 'Blood Asura, stop for now!'

Hearing this, Blood Asura stopped attacking.

Ye Chen looked at Poison Scorpion and said: 'Say what you have to say, quickly!'

Poison Scorpion said with a gloomy expression: 'I'll tell you a secret of the Azure Alliance. Can you spare our lives?'

Ye Chen laughed: 'A secret? A secret of the Azure Alliance?'

Poison Scorpion nodded and said: 'Yes, a secret of the Azure Alliance. Presumably, you came here with hatred for the Azure Alliance, so I guess you should be interested in this secret.'

Looking at Poison Scorpion's serious expression, Ye Chen nodded and said: 'Oh, then tell it.'

Poison Scorpion shook his head and said: 'Promise me first. If I tell you, you'll let us go.'

'What qualifications do you have to bargain with me here?'

Poison Scorpion smiled and said: 'Right, I have no qualifications, but I want to fight for my brothers.'

Ye Chen had already noticed something was off.

When the attack was launched earlier, the group of people around Poison Scorpion, the ones still alive, stood motionless in place.

Those who died just now were all the ones who rushed forward at the very beginning of the fight.

It seems there was still some trickery between them.

Poison Scorpion looked at Ye Chen's thoughtful expression and smiled: 'You guessed right. Those dead people have nothing to do with me. But these remaining people are all my good brothers!'

Ye Chen became interested and said: 'Explain carefully.'

Poison Scorpion sighed and said: 'Actually, before the chaotic times, the boss of the Azure Alliance and I were mortal enemies. After the chaotic times began, I became his subordinate. These people are all my former good brothers. Those who died are all people from the Azure Alliance. So, I don't feel bad about their deaths. Do you really think everyone in the Azure Alliance is completely loyal to it? Many people inside joined only under the Azure Alliance's coercion and inducements.'

Regarding this point, Ye Chen truly hadn't considered it. It seems the Azure Alliance's internal situation isn't very stable either.

Poison Scorpion added: 'You must be from another faction as well. My brothers and I have decent strength. How about letting us join you?'

Ye Chen shook his head and laughed.

Of course, this was impossible.

Someone like Poison Scorpion, who betrays at the first sign of danger—how could they be allowed to join the Star Alliance?

If they joined, wouldn't that be like planting a ticking time bomb beside themselves?

Ye Chen spoke up: 'Alright. Tell me the secret, and I promise to let you go. However, you must leave Qing County. Otherwise, if I see you again in the future, I will definitely exterminate you all!'

Hearing this, Poison Scorpion suddenly bowed deeply to Ye Chen and said: 'Thank you!'

A moment later, Poison Scorpion said: 'Do you really think the Law Enforcement Alliance has no way to take down Qing County?'

Ye Chen frowned slightly and said: 'What do you mean by that?'

Poison Scorpion smiled and said: 'At full strength, the Azure Alliance only has about eight thousand people. How massive is the Law Enforcement Alliance? The Aggregation Zone alone has over ten thousand. If the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance can't take it down, can't the Law Enforcement Alliance from the Seventh Area do it? The Law Enforcement Alliance doesn't forbid other Alliances from existing; it just forbids Alliances it cannot control from existing.'

'The reason the Azure Alliance can remain safe and sound, dominating here alone, is because it struck a deal with the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance. The Azure Alliance pays a certain amount of gold coins and numerous supplies to the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance every month. In return, the Law Enforcement Alliance agreed not to establish a Law Enforcement Alliance branch in Qing County and helps the Azure Alliance sell supplies externally, taking a cut of the gold coins.'

Ye Chen's frown deepened, and he said: 'Struck a deal with the Law Enforcement Alliance? Selling supplies?'

Poison Scorpion nodded and said: 'Yes. To put it bluntly, it's the higher-ups of the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance being derelict in their duties, treating the scattered teams and ordinary people in Qing County as dust. All the things produced by these factories and other industries are sent to the Law Enforcement Alliance, which then distributes them to other areas for sale to obtain gold coins.'

'Moreover, the Azure Alliance pays a large sum of gold coins to the higher-ups of the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance every month. It can be said that the higher-ups of the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance are among the wealthiest in the entire Law Enforcement Alliance!'

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: 'So the Law Enforcement Alliance is so dirty.'

Poison Scorpion smiled and said: 'It's not the Law Enforcement Alliance that's dirty; it's these higher-ups in the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance. Why does the Azure Alliance need to sell supplies through the Law Enforcement Alliance? Because the Law Enforcement Alliances in other areas won't collude with the Azure Alliance!'

Only then did Ye Chen understand.

It seems his previous view of the Law Enforcement Alliance wasn't entirely correct. No wonder Chen Ruxin said not all Law Enforcement Alliances are like the one in the Aggregation Zone.

Whether a Law Enforcement Alliance is good or bad depends on its higher-ups.

What the higher-ups are like is what the Law Enforcement Alliance is like.
