Goodbye, Bones Saint

After speaking, Jia Mu took out a pile of items from his backpack and placed them on the ground, not daring to approach Brother Ye Chen by even half a step.

Ye Chen had left a deep shadow in Jia Mu’s heart.

Ye Chen glanced at Jia Mu indifferently, not making things difficult for him: “I won’t trouble you. You may leave. It’s best not to tell anyone about this matter.”

“I understand, Brother Ye Chen. Rest assured, neither of us will tell anyone!”

With that, Jia Mu took Dui Dui and quickly left without looking back, fearing that Ye Chen might change his mind.

Seeing Jia Mu leave, Supreme breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Ye Chen, I… I owe you another life,” Supreme said weakly, sitting on the ground.

He felt a bit guilty. He was supposed to be his subordinate, yet he had to be rescued by others repeatedly, which left Supreme feeling quite uncomfortable.

“It’s fine. Can you still walk?” Ye Chen stepped forward and helped Supreme up.

Supreme waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. After resting for a while, I’m much better.”

Ye Chen exchanged a healing pill and handed it to Supreme. After Supreme took it, his complexion gradually became rosy.

After a short rest, Supreme exhaled and said, “Brother Ye Chen, why don’t we go back? Back to the Seventh Area.”

After this ordeal, Supreme was filled with homesickness. No matter how good the outside world was, it wasn’t as comfortable as his life in the Seventh Area.

That was his true home.

“No, Brother Wu Shang, I still have something to do. You go back first.

Supreme knew Ye Chen’s temperament, so he stopped trying to persuade him and returned by himself.

Ye Chen opened the map. The true east direction was completely dark. That was the Divine Fire Absolute Land. Although some people had entered, they had never gone deep.

The Alchemist suddenly said, “Ye Chen, don’t go there. I have a strong feeling telling me that it’s very dangerous for me. If I go, I might not come back.”

Hearing the Alchemist say that, Ye Chen was startled. He knew the Alchemist’s feelings were always accurate, so he put aside the idea of going there.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Several figures landed, a total of six people, all at LV81!

Ye Chen felt one of them was very familiar. That graceful figure, that fair skin. Although everyone wore masks, Ye Chen had a strong feeling that he must have met this woman before.

A name appeared in Ye Chen’s mind: Saintess of White Bones.

“You’re Ye Chen, right?” a man said with a deep voice.

Ye Chen showed no panic and ignored the man who spoke, saying to the Saintess of White Bones, “Hall Master of White Bones, may I ask why you’re looking for me?”

The graceful body trembled slightly, and White Bones spoke, “You know me?”

As she spoke, White Bones took off her cloak, revealing her exquisite face.

“I had the fortune of meeting Hall Master of White Bones once in Xuanwu District during the monster siege,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

White Bones suddenly remembered and laughed, “I wondered why you felt familiar. So you’re that little guy. I didn’t expect that after so long, you’ve become a Breaker, and at LV74 too. Truly impressive.”

When White Bones spoke, her attitude was very kind, like an older sister next door, completely different from when Ye Chen first met her.

“Ye Chen, don’t worry. Our boss wants to invite you over,” the Saintess of White Bones said with a smile.

Ye Chen was a little speechless. Was this an invitation or an abduction? Did they need so many people, and all of them LV80?.

Seeing Ye Chen observing them, White Bones understood what he was thinking and smiled, “Sir Ye Chen, don’t overthink it. Actually, we heard that you are cunning, dark-bellied, and a bit insidious. To be safe, we brought more people this time.”

White Bones seemed a little embarrassed when she spoke.

Ye Chen was completely speechless when he heard White Bones. Insidious and cunning?

Was his reputation outside really that bad?

The other five also looked a bit embarrassed and coughed twice awkwardly.

However, Ye Chen felt a little more relaxed in his heart. At least these people weren’t bad.

“Alright then, please lead the way, Saintess of White Bones!”

“Okay!”

The Saintess of White Bones gently cupped her hands and flew ahead to lead the way.

Ye Chen had long wanted to meet the high-ranking officials of the Law Enforcement Alliance in the First Region.

He just hadn’t had the chance. As for why these people were looking for him, Ye Chen already had a few guesses in his mind.

Two hours later, Chaoyang District, Law Enforcement Alliance Headquarters.

The Law Enforcement Alliance in this First Region occupied a vast area, almost one-fifth of the entire Chaoyang District.

Outside, high walls stood tall, and inside, buildings were densely packed, with towering skyscrapers. The entire city exuded a scientific aura.

White Bones introduced to Ye Chen, “Many of the buildings inside use the latest construction materials and technology. It can be said to be a city of steel. The purpose of this is also to prevent damage from monsters. Some places even use treasures from after the chaotic era, making it arguably the hardest city in the world.”

Ye Chen noticed that this city actually had small aircraft and hovering cars.

“Why are these things all inside, but not outside?”

Ye Chen asked in confusion.

“Because the people inside rarely go out, and we don’t want them to go out. Most of the people here are ordinary folks, and they rely on tools for travel. Gradually, they’ve become accustomed to this way of life,” White Bones explained with a smile.

Ye Chen shook his head slightly: “Why do I feel like these people are being kept like livestock?”

White Bones was momentarily speechless, “Not really. They just got used to living this way. At least it’s much safer in here. Those towering high-rises are all over fifty stories tall, with thirty rooms on each floor. Some are designed as single apartments, others as three-bedroom, two-living-room units. Singles live in the single apartments, and married couples live in the three-bedroom, two-living-room ones. Life is still quite rich and colorful.”

Ye Chen said “Alright,” but he didn’t really think there was anything wrong with it. At least they were safe in here.

“We’re here!”

White Bones stopped, and Ye Chen looked ahead. Before them was a floating city, a massive floating structure.

“Is current technology really that advanced?” Ye Chen asked in surprise.

White Bones smiled: “Ye Chen, look down.”

Ye Chen looked down, and it was actually a monster.

[Qiu Niu]

Level: LV72

Rank: Lord

Attribute: Earth

White Bones laughed, “This city can float, actually, because of this monster. This monster has a unique ability to make objects float, so the boss found it quite interesting and subdued it, then brought it back.”

At this point, White Bones couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

Ye Chen felt completely speechless. This monster was truly pitiful. A dignified LV72 Breaker, captured to carry a building. If word got out, other monsters would surely laugh it to death.

“Let’s go, Ye Chen. The boss is at the very top.”

Ye Chen nodded and flew upwards. At this point, they were already five hundred meters from the ground.
