Core Area

Seeing Xiao Fan leaving, Jin Ge roared angrily, "Still trying to run? Stop right there!"

With a roar, Jin Ge spat out a stream of black flames from his mouth!

The flames surged straight toward Xiao Fan!

"Jin Ge, your opponent is here!"

Ye Chen watched the flames drawing closer below, calculating how to end the fight quickly.

"One Rider Against a Thousand!"

Dark Ji appeared, throwing the Lie Tian Spear in her hand toward Jin Ge!

"Flaw!"

Pfft! The Lie Tian Spear plunged straight into Jin Ge's chest! -170,000!

In an instant, Jin Ge had only 30,000 HP left!

"Jin Ge! Die!"

A fiery red orb of light was thrown out.

Jin Ge's pupils dilated; he stared blankly at the Lie Tian Spear embedded in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You! You actually still have help!"

The fiery red orb exploded with a bang in front of Jin Ge, taking away his remaining 10,000 HP.

...

The flames below did not disappear with Jin Ge's death. Ye Chen activated Extreme Shadow Step, arrived before the large tree, retrieved the Thunderclap Blade, took the three yin fruit into his possession, and quickly left the area!

Just ten seconds after Ye Chen left, there was a loud explosion behind him; a ball of fire erupted, and thick black smoke immediately rose up.

Arriving outside the Yin Land, Ye Chen contacted Xiao Fan. In no time, Xiao Fan rushed over.

"Ye Chen, are you okay?" Xiao Fan asked with concern.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I'm fine, here." He handed the three yin fruit to Xiao Fan, who was slightly taken aback when he saw it.

"This? You actually plucked this three yin fruit?"

Ye Chen nodded, "It was just a matter of convenience. However, that Jin Ge was really hard to deal with; it wasted one of my consumable items," Ye Chen said with a chuckle.

"Brother Ye Chen, I will remember this favor!" Xiao Fan said earnestly.

The two glanced at the Yin Land, turned, and left, heading toward the core of the First Region.

The core of the First Region, known as Chaoyang District, was the most prosperous place in the First Region.

It had always preserved massive ancient buildings, the origins of which could be traced back thousands of years.

Previously, this place was a Forbidden Ground, but now it had been put into use as the headquarters for the highest level of the Law Enforcement Alliance.

Although it was in use, others were still not allowed to enter.

By the time they arrived at Chaoyang District, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

As the core of the country, this place still maintained its former appearance, as if the chaotic times and the great changes in the world had never occurred here.

The two walked on the bustling streets; the shops along the road, as well as the pedestrians and vehicles, still formed a stream of traffic.

However, the shops were all for basic daily necessities—things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, supermarkets, department stores, and restaurants.

There were no entertainment venues, cosmetics stores, gold and silver jewelry shops, or luxury boutiques to be found.

Sure enough, no matter the time, food, clothing, housing, and transportation were the fundamentals of a person's life.

Xiao Fan smiled, "Isn't this place quite different from the places you've been?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Actually, every region has such a place. The country has already started working on it. It's not a solution for people to just stay holed up in the Safe Zone all day. They need to communicate and interact, and society needs to progress. Therefore, the country has issued a directive to gather the strong from each region into one place, clear out the monsters, and let ordinary people move in to restore life to how it used to be.

In other places, Pet Masters live, but this is a gathering place for the strong to protect the lives of ordinary people and resist the invasion of monsters. After all, humanity needs to reproduce; if there are no newborns, can this country be far from extinction?" Xiao Fan asked rhetorically.

Ye Chen nodded, feeling that what Xiao Fan said made perfect sense.

Slap! A sound of a slap rang out.

This sound attracted their attention. Looking toward the source, they saw a rough-looking burly man in a small restaurant berating an old man, "How dare you talk back to me! I said it's not clean, so it's not clean. I found a fly in my food; give me 10,000 gold coins and we'll call it even!"

The old man covered his face and said subserviently, "10,000 gold coins? You could kill me and I still wouldn't have 10,000 gold coins. My shop just opened not long ago, and all the gold coins I earned were invested into it. Where would I get 10,000 gold coins! Sir, please let me go. Besides, that fly flew onto your pancake after you left..." The old man's voice grew quieter as he spoke, clearly lacking confidence.

"What! You dare to talk back! Do you know who I am! I'm from the Six Dao Alliance, how dare you say I'm framing you!"

The burly man raised his hand, ready to strike again.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, "It's truly the case that no matter the time, there are always such scumbags. I'm speechless!"

Xiao Fan stepped forward, grabbed the burly man's raised hand, and said coldly, "Who let you make a move here? Don't you know that Pet Masters are not allowed to bully ordinary people?"

"Who the Hell are you!" The burly man cursed, his beard bristling with rage.

"Nobody in particular, just an ordinary Pet Master!"

"Haha, so it's just a nobody. I advise you to let go, or I'll beat you up too!"

Having said that, the burly man summoned his pet, a Level 40, Divine-Grade pet. It was large in size and looked like a sturdy bear.

Xiao Fan impatiently slapped the burly man, while the Jade Sword Immortal had already appeared in front of the sturdy bear, holding its golden longsword against the bear's neck.

"Level 52!" The burly man's face instantly fell, and he swallowed hard.

"I'm sorry, my lord. I was blind, I was blind!" The burly man hurriedly slapped his own face.

"Apologize to the old gentleman. As for compensation, just pay 100,000 for emotional distress and we'll call it even. I won't make things difficult for you," Xiao Fan said nonchalantly.

"Ah! 100,000! Big Brother! You want me to pay money too!"

"What did you think?" Xiao Fan said coldly.

Under the gaze of Xiao Fan's icy eyes, the burly man couldn't help but shiver.
