Star Alliance Moving

After dealing with Pang Ke, the group continued their journey toward the Qing County Safe Zone.

They arrived back at six in the evening.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they found Fire Feather and several others waiting there, their expressions full of anxiety.

Seeing Ye Chen and his group, Fire Feather hurried over to meet them.

"Brother Ye Chen, how could this happen! How could we give Qing County to the monsters!" Fire Feather said anxiously.

Zhu Qiang asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

"How did we find out? The monster chat room is going crazy right now! Qing County, Yu County, and Xia County have all become monster territory! Brother Ye Chen, didn't you go to attend the meeting?" East Green said.

"That's right, Brother Ye Chen! The Alliance leaders are saying some really nasty things. They say you have something wrong with you, that you didn't ask for Qing County back, but chose the Aggregation Zone instead. Why would you do that!"

The group asked all at once, clearly unable to understand Ye Chen's decision.

Ye Chen couldn't help but find it amusing. "Come on, let's go inside and I'll explain."

The group returned to the Star Alliance conference room and sat down.

"Brother Ye Chen, we worked so hard to take Qing County. Now that we're just handing it over to the monsters like this, we… we aren't willing to accept it!"

"That's right, Brother Chen. We worked so hard to build this Safe Zone, to create our own home. We've lived here for so long. Is it, is it really necessary to just hand it over?" Zhang Haonan was clearly unwilling, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Brother Chen, can you, can you go talk to them? Can we not go to the Aggregation Zone and just stay here in Qing County?"

It was clear they were very reluctant to leave this place.

As they spoke all at once, Zhu Qiang burst into laughter.

"Vice Alliance Leader Zhu, what are you laughing at? At a time like this, you still have the mood to laugh."

Everyone was extremely anxious.

Ye Chen tapped the table, and everyone quieted down.

Ye Chen explained the situation to them.

"Holy crap, Brother Chen, do you mean that Xuan Nu is one of our own!"

"Is that true, Brother Chen!"

Zhu Qiang snorted. "Of course it's true. From today on, not only Qing County, but the Aggregation Zone is also our territory!"

The hearts of everyone, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and they let out a long sigh of relief.

"Then who stays here? Who goes?" Golden Eyes voiced the question on everyone's mind.

Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Chen, waiting for his reply.

"My plan is for Elder Fire Feather, Elder Golden Eyes, Yellow Springs, and East Green to stay here. There are currently 2,800 Pet Masters in the Alliance, so 1,400 will stay behind."

"The civilians and the Battle Preparation Army will all be taken with us. I know the Aggregation Zone has a more comprehensive living environment and complete training grounds. Things will be better there than here. What do you all think?" Ye Chen finished and looked at Fire Feather and the others.

Fire Feather thought for a moment and said, "I don't see a problem. According to Brother Ye Chen, except for Xuan Nu, no other monsters will be here. Since Xuan Nu is one of our own, it's quite safe for us to live here. Furthermore, they won't interfere with us hunting monsters. This way, our leveling speed and environment will be even better. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

East Green and the others nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone agrees, sort out who will stay tonight. The rest will head toward the Aggregation Zone first thing tomorrow morning."

"Understood!"

After the discussion concluded, Ye Chen and the others returned to their rooms.

They had fought all day and were quite tired, so they went straight to their respective rooms after returning.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Taiping Mountains, in a mountain stronghold.

Several people approached the stronghold leader, Mountain Eagle, and said respectfully, "Big Brother, we've investigated everything clearly. On the other side of the mountain, there is only something called the Star Alliance. There is no Law Enforcement Alliance, nor any other factions; only this one. However, their faction is quite strong. They have several Pet Masters above Level 20 alone, and there are about two thousand Pet Masters in total."

Mountain Eagle touched the few remaining hairs on his head and said, "Good. Judging by the strength of both sides, we don't have the advantage. Tomorrow, go to the other mountain peaks, meet with the other bosses, and tell them about this. If they agree, tell them we will head over the day after tomorrow to occupy the place next door. They must have seen the information posted in the monster chat room today; they will 90% likely agree."

"Yes, Boss. What if they ask about how the territory will be divided?"

Mountain Eagle rubbed his temples. "Just say we'll split it equally. Our factions will split the territory equally."

"Understood!"

With that, the man retreated.

Mountain Eagle sat in his chair, staring at the ceiling. This Mountain Eagle was actually a Level 24 powerhouse.

Standing a bit further away and looking at the wall behind Mountain Eagle, one could see the entire wall decorated with skulls.

The next morning at seven o'clock, the courtyard of the Safe Zone was packed with people.

Last night, Zhang Haonan, Liang Yiqiang, and the other two had already passed on the arrangements made by Ye Chen.

Those selected were already gathered here, having been informed about the move to the Aggregation Zone.

There wasn't a single smile to be seen on anyone's face.

It wasn't that they disagreed with the decision, but they were reluctant to leave the place they had lived in for so long.

Civilians and teenagers stood in the middle, with Pet Masters protecting them from the perimeter.

Zhang Haonan, Liang Yiqiang, Li Xiangyang, Yang Ming, and Zhang Kang all chose to accompany Ye Chen to the Aggregation Zone.

On the other hand, Devouring Sky Tiger, Rakshasa, and Thunder Cloud were all cheerful.

They had lived in the Aggregation Zone for so many years; for them, returning this time was actually something to be happy about.

Devouring Sky Tiger cursed and swore. "When we go back this time, we have to teach those kids in the Law Enforcement Alliance a lesson. Who do they think they are, swaggering around the Alliance every day? They really think they're something special. This time when we go back, we'll show them who's boss!"

Rakshasa snorted in agreement. "Exactly, especially that Minister of the Divine Martial Department. When we go back, I'm going to personally slap him a few times! Damn it, bullying us every day, the big bullying the small! This time when we go back, we'll bully them back!"

Rakshasa and the others were clearly very dissatisfied with some of the leaders of the Aggregation Zone's Law Enforcement Alliance, their words filled with resentment.

"Is everyone here?" Ye Chen asked Zhang Haonan.

"Everyone is here."

Ye Chen nodded, turned around, and said, "Let's go, move out!"

This time, they could only return by bus. The journey was quite long, and it would take more than half a day by car.

After boarding the vehicles, the group set off in a grand procession.

The civilians sitting in the vehicles all turned their heads to look back at the Safe Zone.

In their eyes and on their faces, one could see how reluctant they were to leave.

Some even shed tears.
