CHAPTER 183: CHAPTER 183: THE PAST OF ELDER HUO YU

Cough cough!

Brother-in-law?

Ye Chen’s heart trembled even more, remembering the events of that day.

"Chen Ruxin is actually this Huo Yu’s cousin?"

Huo Yu continued, "The things about you in the Aggregation District were all told to me by my cousin."

Then, Huo Yu handed the first letter to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen picked up the letter to check, and indeed, the neat handwriting belonged to a girl.

Huo Yu’s voice came again, "The contents of this second letter were investigated by my subordinates."

Ye Chen’s tense heart slightly relaxed; for now, it seemed that Huo Yu had no hostility towards him.

Huo Yu jokingly smiled at Ye Chen and said, "I don’t know what kind of spell you cast on my cousin, she specially instructed me to take good care of you in Qing County. Initially, I refused, but there’s no way around it, in this chaotic world, she’s the only family I have left. Her request, I cannot refuse, and plus, what you’ve done also..."

Huo Yu didn’t finish his sentence but instead looked at a few women beside him and said, "You all leave first."

The women slightly bowed, acknowledged, and stepped aside.

Only Huo Yu, Ye Chen, and a few others remained, along with the twenty people who had stopped Ye Chen earlier.

When Huo Yu asked the extras to leave, Ye Chen understood that Huo Yu must have something important to say.

Huo Yu suddenly stood up and said, "Follow me."

Ye Chen was a bit puzzled but still got up and followed along.

"Guard well!" Huo Yu turned back and said to the twenty people.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu led Ye Chen and the five others towards a nearby villa.

This villa was already somewhat dilapidated and couldn’t be compared to the villa where Huo Yu lived.

They entered through a hole in the already decayed wall and came inside the villa.

Huo Yu stood in a certain place and suddenly stomped hard, causing the ground to tremble, and an iron plate appeared on the floor.

Huo Yu stepped forward and lifted the iron plate, revealing a staircase right before their eyes.

Ye Chen’s puzzlement deepened a bit more.

Huo Yu whistled, and the Nine Heavens Profound Bird beside him flew into the dark staircase.

Whoosh!

Flames burned fiercely from the Nine Heavens Profound Bird, lighting up the pitch-black staircase.

Huo Yu led Ye Chen and the five others to walk down slowly.

Five minutes later, they finally reached the end of the staircase.

A bright view appeared before their eyes.

This space was vast, filled with many ordinary people, and unlike earlier, the faces of these ordinary people were all filled with smiles.

Some were gathered chatting; others were gathered entertaining themselves.

When the many ordinary people saw Huo Yu, they cheerfully called out, "Brother Zhang is here, come, come and join us!"

Huo Yu replied cheerfully, "No, no, you guys play, I’m just here to take a look!"

Ye Chen was completely shocked by the scene before him.

Huo Yu puffed out his chest, somewhat proudly, and said, "What you’re doing now, I’ve already started doing."

The next second, Huo Yu sighed and said, "Ah, but I’ve only been doing it secretly, and my power is limited. The reason I always reside here is this; I’ve secretly built an underground space here and took in ordinary people I encountered. You know what the Cyan Alliance does to ordinary people. Living conditions here are relatively simple."

"But this is all I can do. When I received my cousin’s letter, I started investigating you. I originally thought you were just a deserter avoiding the Law Enforcement Alliance, but what you did later completely impressed me. What I wanted to do, you have helped me achieve. Even without considering Chen Ruxin, I would choose to help you!"

Ye Chen asked in confusion, "Why are you doing all this?"

Huo Yu suddenly snorted proudly, "Nonsense, I used to be the director of the Qing County Law Enforcement Bureau! I was at least someone who served the public and the people!"

"Then why did you join the Cyan Alliance?"

Ye Chen’s question dampened Huo Yu’s newly raised pride.

"Sigh, I was blinded by greed then and accepted the Cyan Alliance Leader’s bribe. Later, I drew a Saint Tier pet, and he forced me to join the Cyan Alliance. I had no choice but to comply, but my remaining conscience doesn’t allow me to join them in oppressing ordinary people. Therefore, I created this place." Huo Yu said with a sigh.

Ye Chen’s pupils contracted, and he developed a bit of admiration for Huo Yu in his heart.

Huo Yu suddenly turned to Ye Chen and solemnly asked, "Are you really planning to fight the Cyan Alliance to the death?"

Ye Chen nodded resolutely and said, "I must completely dismantle the Cyan Alliance, for the people of Qing County and for myself!"

Huo Yu patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, repeating "Good" three times.

"Come, I’ll tell you all the information about the Cyan Alliance so you can prepare!"

Saying this, Huo Yu took Ye Chen into a room and locked the door behind them.

Sitting inside, Huo Yu placed a stack of documents on the table and said, "These are the strongholds of the Cyan Alliance, information about various Elders and Hall Masters. But rest assured, not all of them are enemies. Two Elders and four Hall Masters were my former comrades. They, like me, had no choice but to join the Cyan Alliance. When the time comes, they can join me in rebelling against the Cyan Alliance!"

Ye Chen was a bit shocked; he didn’t expect Huo Yu to have such influence. But considering Huo Yu was the only Level 16 Pet Tamer in the Cyan Alliance, second only to the Cyan Alliance Leader, having some confidants was normal.

After all, the Cyan Alliance is just an alliance, not an impregnable fortress.

Every organization, even the Law Enforcement Alliance, has division squads, let alone this Cyan Alliance.

Ye Chen picked up the documents for a look. Several people were circled in red, and these must be the confidants Huo Yu mentioned.

After reading, he felt a bit more joyful and confident.

With these people joining forces, things would be much easier.

Even without help, by unleashing his three pets, he could capture everyone.

Huo Yu said, "The Cyan Alliance Leader is Liu Jin’an, who calls himself the Cyan Emperor. He recently advanced from Level 17 to Level 18, and his pet is a Tier Seven Sacred Artifact pet, which is nearly humanoid in shape and far more advanced than my Nine Heavens Profound Bird. He also has a set of Three Star Rare Defense equipment and a Five Star Epic weapon, making his combat power quite extraordinary."

Upon hearing Huo Yu’s words, Ye Chen wasn’t too surprised. After all, if the Cyan Alliance Leader wasn’t strong enough, that would be surprising.

Huo Yu then shared some more information with Ye Chen before finally asking, "When do you plan to attack the Cyan Alliance Headquarters?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Now is not the time. I plan to first deal with the Cyan Alliance’s Hall Masters thoroughly, just the right opportunity to level up."

Ye Chen roughly calculated that by dealing with the remaining Hall Masters, he could reach Level 17, giving him more assurance against the Cyan Emperor.
