Lin Jingtian's death caused chaos in the park

After synthesizing the Scepter of Light, Ye Chen only took a faint look at it before putting it into his backpack.

This time, no new items were added. It seems the maximum number of items is six; there are no more beyond that.

After packing everything away, Ye Chen took out his phone and called Lin Jingtian to ask what was going on with the Seven-Colored Armor.

The phone rang for a minute before it was answered, but the voice on the other end was not Lin Jingtian's.

"Is that Lord Ye Chen?" the voice on the other end asked.

"Yes, where is Lin Jingtian? Who are you?"

"I am an Elder of the Dark Alliance, Qifa. Our, our Alliance Leader is dead." Qifa started crying as he said this.

Ye Chen was stunned. "What? Lin Jingtian is dead? What happened?"

"A massive catastrophe occurred in Z City. A level 72 monster appeared. All the Pet Masters in Z City fought against it together, but they were still no match for him. The people from the Law Enforcement Alliance, Wang Zhan, and Scorpio were all killed. Lord Mo Sang enslaved many monsters and went to resist with our Alliance Leader and Lord Zhu Qiang, but they failed. Our Alliance Leader sacrificed himself to hold off the monster and cover Lord Zhu Qiang and the others' escape."

Qifa said, tearfully.

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck Ye Chen's mind; he had not expected such a massive catastrophe to occur in Z City.

"How are Zhu Qiang and the others now? How is Leader Chen?"

"Lord Zhu Qiang and the others have all been locked up by that monster. Leader Chen went out on business and has not returned."

Ye Chen said "Alright," and hung up the phone.

"Ye Chen, are the King Kong Ape and the others in danger?"

Ye Chen nodded, feeling an intense pain in his heart.

Zhu Qiang and the others had been locked up by the monster; who knew what might happen.

Ye Chen hurriedly called Zhu Qiang, but the call did not go through. He then called Yu Nian, but it still did not connect.

It was the same for Tie Niu, Lin Nuoyi, and Tang Qiu.

A sudden, ominous premonition struck Ye Chen's heart.

"Danshi! Blood Asura! We are going back! Back to Z City!"

"Alright!"

Ye Chen was now anxious to return, a surge of regret welling up in his heart.

If he had taken them with him when he returned from the Thousand Star Great Forest, this would not have happened. If something happened to Yu Nian and the others, Ye Chen was afraid he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Even though a level 72 monster was terrifying, Ye Chen had to go and see for himself!

He had to see them alive, or see their bodies if they were dead!

Ye Chen did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed toward Z City.

On the way back, Ye Chen hoped that Yu Nian and the others would call him.

However, that did not happen.

After a night of rushing, he finally arrived in Z City on the morning of the next day.

Ye Chen arrived at the Dark Alliance and sought out Qifa.

When Qifa saw Ye Chen, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Lord Ye Chen, you have returned. Please, avenge our Alliance Leader!"

Ye Chen pulled Qifa up and asked with a gloomy face: "Where is that monster?"

Qifa wept: "He is in the Dabie Mountains! Now the entire Dabie Mountains are his territory. Not just the Dabie Mountains, our Z City and H City in the neighboring Eighth region have all suffered!"

Ye Chen nodded, his brows furrowed tightly. He did not say a word and turned to head toward the Dabie Mountains.

Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Mo Sang standing outside.

Mo Sang smiled bitterly: "Ye Chen, you're back."

Ye Chen saw Mo Sang leaning on a crutch, one pant leg swaying in the wind; clearly, that leg was gone.

Seeing Ye Chen focusing on his leg, Mo Sang smiled: "This, this leg was destroyed by that monster and cannot be reattached. Now, I am considered disabled. Brother Ye Chen, I am sorry. I did not complete your instructions to take good care of Zhu Qiang and the others. We also failed to hold this, this Z City and the Aggregation Zone."

Looking at the dilapidated Safe Zone, Ye Chen stepped forward and patted Mo Sang on the shoulder. "It's fine, I don't blame you."

Suddenly, Mo Sang began to cry: "Gone, they are all gone. My three thousand brothers from the Yaomei Alliance, the three thousand brothers from the Dark Alliance, they are all gone. Even the people in the Lian Yuan District are almost all gone. Wang Zhan, Scorpio, they are also gone; they were all killed by that monster! Those who survived have all fled. Now Z City has become a ghost town. That monster is too cruel; he led an army of monsters and slaughtered everyone.

I enslaved five level 65 monsters, but they were no match for him. Brother Lin Jingtian died to cover our retreat! Wang Zhan and the others also died in that battle!"

Ye Chen bit his lip until it bled, clenching his fists tightly.

"What about the people from the Star Alliance? And the brothers from before?"

"They have all been relocated. Anyone still alive has been moved to the neighboring K City. We stayed here just waiting for you to return!"

Mo Sang leaned on his crutch, looking very dejected.

Ye Chen patted Mo Sang on the shoulder: "Alright, I don't blame you! You wait here."

"Brother Ye Chen, don't go! That is a level 72 monster; you are no match for him!"

Ye Chen did not turn back and walked straight toward the Dabie Mountains!

Even if it were a god today, Ye Chen would slaughter him!

Just as Ye Chen was flying toward the Dabie Mountains, a cyan figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Ye Chen turned to look; it was Xuan Nu.

Xuan Nu said with some shame: "Ye Chen, I'm sorry. I did not protect Yu Nian and the others well. That Demon Sealer is extremely powerful and has organized an army of monsters. We were no match for him, I..."

Ye Chen understood; Xuan Nu was only level 56, so naturally, she was no match for the Demon Sealer.

"Yes, it's fine!"

"Yu Nian and the others were captured by the Demon Sealer. I don't know what he intends to do, but I can confirm that they are still alive and are currently in no danger. As for why he captured them, I suspect it has to do with the Little One."

"The Little One?"

Ye Chen was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood. The identity of the Little One was a great mystery; the Demon Sealer capturing Yu Nian and the others could only be because of the Little One!
