Please

However, before that, Ye Chen still planned to make a trip back to the Aggregation Zone.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Sheng finally returned.

Arriving in the courtyard, Hao Sheng saw Ye Chen and the others sitting there; he was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure.

"Master!"

"Master, you're back!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Gun Gun dashed over in a flash.

"Boss! Boss! I finally get to see you!"

Trotting along with a smile, Gun Gun leaped into Ye Chen's arms.

Gun Gun was now Rank 31; it had made some progress.

Hao Sheng's expression was somewhat somber as he sat down.

Ye Chen patted Gun Gun's head, signaling it to be quiet, and it finally calmed down.

Hao Sheng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you all know?"

Several of them nodded.

"Yes, we know, Master. Lord Tian Luo has told us everything."

"Master, do we really have to go?"

"Sigh!" Hao Sheng sighed and said, "It's true. Lord Supreme has also spoken; we must go. The reason you are being sent is because you have comparable strength and many methods. Relatively speaking, when considering everything, you are the most cost-effective choice."

Having received a definitive answer from Hao Sheng, Hong Ye and the others fell silent.

After a long while, Hao Sheng asked, "Hong Ye, have you all discussed who will go?"

"Not yet, we were waiting for you to return to discuss it."

Hao Sheng looked at Hong Ye, then at White Leaf and the others, feeling somewhat conflicted.

"The two spots should come from the nine of you. Ye Chen only arrived here a few days ago, so let's not have him go."

"Yes, we know. I've decided; this time, White Leaf and I will go. I am the Senior Brother, and White Leaf is the second, so as Senior Brothers, we must naturally shoulder the responsibilities expected of us."

Hong Ye said decisively.

White Leaf struggled for a moment but then made a decision: "I think the same as Senior Brother Hong Ye! Senior Brother Hong Ye and I will go!"

Hao Sheng nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled!"

"No, Master, I will go!" Ye Chen suddenly said.

"Absolutely not, Junior Brother Ye Chen. Your Rank is not high enough; you don't meet the requirements! It would be very dangerous if you go!"

Hong Ye immediately retorted.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, it won't work; your strength isn't sufficient yet!"

White Leaf also refused.

Ye Chen said, "It's fine. I have sufficient self-preservation capabilities. With Gun Gun by my side, I am almost invincible."

"But, but Gun Gun has no attack power!"

"It's fine. I have two other pets, and my strength is sufficient."

With that, Ye Chen summoned Dark Ji and Blood Asura simultaneously, while gripping the Thunderclap Blade in his hand.

The moment the Thunderclap Blade appeared, rich lightning power surged through his entire body.

"Ah! There are two more pets, and both are Immortal Beast Rank!"

"The blade in Senior Brother Ye Chen's hand is clearly no ordinary item!"

"How did Junior Brother Ye Chen's Blood Asura become Immortal Beast Rank!"

Hong Ye, White Leaf, and even Hao Sheng were all shocked to the core!

Although Hao Sheng knew beforehand that Ye Chen had more than one pet, when they were summoned, Hao Sheng's pupils still constricted, and he felt deeply shocked inside.

"You have all seen it; my ability to protect myself is sufficient. Please let me go."

Ye Chen said with a firm tone and eyes like torches.

Hao Sheng thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Since Ye Chen insists on going, then so be it. This time, Hong Ye and Ye Chen will go together."

Hong Ye nodded, indicating no problem.

When White Leaf looked at Ye Chen, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"You all go back first. Ye Chen, you stay; I have something to tell you."

Hong Ye and the others nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Chen sat back down, waiting for Hao Sheng to speak.

Hao Sheng took out a pile of items from his robe and placed them on the table.

"These are some items I obtained this time. There are many with Dark and Metal attributes; they should be useful to you."

Ye Chen looked at the table full of items, his eyes lighting up.

Dark Root! Dark Cloud Karma! Dark Insect Egg!

Ye Chen saw these three items at first glance.

For that Dark Cloud Pressing Border skill, he was now only missing a Hell Curse.

Ye Chen felt a surge of secret joy.

As for the rest of the items, although most were Yellow Rank, they were quite practical for the current Ye Chen.

"Oh right, there were a few items that were eaten by Gun Gun. I don't know what they were; the moment Gun Gun saw them, before I could even check, it swallowed them in one bite."

Gun Gun raised its head and chuckled.

Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless; this Gun Gun was truly unique.

"Ye Chen, are you sure you want to go?" Hao Sheng asked, still concerned.

Ye Chen nodded firmly and gave a grunt of affirmation: "Some things ultimately need people to do them. Actually, I am the most suitable person to go. Moreover, risk implies reward; perhaps this time, I can find what I need!"

"Sigh, alright then. Since you want to go, then go. But you must be careful; safety first!"

At this moment, Hao Sheng seemed to truly regard Ye Chen as his own disciple, exhorting him earnestly.

"Yes, I understand. However, I plan to return to Z City tomorrow and will be back before we leave!"

Hao Sheng thought for a moment and nodded: "That works. It is time to go back and take a look; you've been out for half a month. Do you need Hong Ye to accompany you?"

Hao Sheng was a shrewd person; Ye Chen returning so suddenly must mean something had happened over there.

"No need, I can go back alone. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Alright, go ahead. When you get to Z City, if anything happens, just mention my name!"

Hao Sheng still exhorted.

"Yes, okay!"

With that, Ye Chen left the courtyard.

Hao Sheng sat there alone, his eyes filled with both emotion and helplessness.

"This Ye Chen won't stay here long; his world should be much larger!"

Hao Sheng shook his head slightly with a sigh and returned to his room.

It was already six in the evening. Ye Chen went to the stalls and bought all the Experience Potions.

However, he didn't buy many this time, spending only 400,000 gold coins.

Many Experience Potions had already been bought by others.

The people setting up stalls today had exceptionally good business.

It was all people from the 18th Military Department coming to buy things.

Clearly, they were also preparing for this upcoming excursion.

Ye Chen returned to his room and started refining Experience Pills.

For a time, the room was filled with smoke and fragrance.

Blood Asura, Gun Gun, and Dark Ji sat to the side chatting.

Regarding Gun Gun's upcoming trip, Blood Asura and Dark Ji were also very curious.

"Gun Gun, where are you going this time? Is there anything special there?"

Gun Gun pursed its lips, hummed for a while, and said: "It's nothing special, much like the place we went to last time, just a bit bigger, with more things, and things I can eat!"

"Things you can eat, what did you eat?"

"Just some herbs, stones, and things like that. I don't know what they are called, but whenever I see them, I just want to eat them, and they are helpful to me!"
