Ye Chen certainly knew that Jiang Xi's body would be discovered by Jiang Bei, but he didn't care. If they found it, they found it. At worst, he'd just have another big fight with Jiang Bei.

Arriving at Shuanghu, several people, including Xiao Fan, were already waiting there.

Black Peng was looking around nervously, and when he saw Ye Chen approaching, his expression relaxed.

"Brother Ye Chen, you're here!" Xiao Fan greeted with a smile, while noticing that Ye Chen's aura had grown stronger again.

Xiao Fan felt somewhat helpless in his heart. How did Ye Chen just keep growing stronger every time they met? Truly a monster.

Around Shuanghu, many people were watching the sky at this strange phenomenon.

A giant vortex with thirteen eerie passages, each a different color, was constantly rotating there.

Some people tried to go down to have a look but were stopped before they could get closer.

Seeing this, Black Peng said, "This place is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed near. A few days ago, someone at level 70 insisted on approaching and ended up clashing with the guards, only to be directly wiped out by a Breakthrougher! Now no one dares to get close."

Ye Chen nodded, of course, understanding this. The guards were not many yet, but when the passage opened, probably Breakthroughers from the entire Second Region would come to guard.

In this Second Region, people from many other alliances were watching, all planning to rush in when it opened.

Ye Chen wasn't someone who hadn't done such things in the past.

Black Peng said, "Let's find a place to wait. If we keep standing here watching, we might be noticed. Also, we don't need to go in when the passage opens. We can wait until they go in first and enter afterwards."

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement, and the group turned to find a restaurant to sit in. The private rooms upstairs happened to have windows that overlooked the scene.

Inside the restaurant, Xiao Fan took out one hundred thousand gold coins and placed them on the table, loudly saying, "Boss, I'll take the private room upstairs. Bring us the best food and drinks, and don't let anyone disturb us. Got it?"

The restaurant owner, seeing the one hundred thousand gold coins, was immediately starry-eyed. This was half a month's income for him. He nodded eagerly and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let anyone disturb you."

Ice Seal couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiao Fan, you're just throwing money around like it's nothing? A hundred thousand gold coins given directly; I think even a thousand would suffice."

Xiao Fan patted Ice Seal's shoulder and said, "Brother Ice Seal, you don't get it. To us, a hundred thousand gold coins is nothing. It's not even worth a fart. Showing wealth asserts our identity, that way the owner won't dare let people bother us. Plus, the owner is an ordinary person; a hundred thousand gold coins let him do a lot of things. It's also a merit to do good, isn't it?"

A few words from Xiao Fan had Ice Seal giving a thumbs up, chuckling, "Brother Xiao Fan, you're really insightful! I'm nowhere near your level."

A few words brought laughs from the crowd.

Inside the private room, Ye Chen, Xiao Fan, and Black Peng were sitting by the window, watching the situation outside anytime.

Suddenly, Ye Chen squinted his eyes, pointing across to another restaurant: "Look over there."

Across the restaurant by the window, it was already full of people, an entire row of people stretching their necks to watch outside.

Xiao Fan laughed, "Turns out, we're not the only ones with this idea. Many are watching."

Even Black Peng, who wasn't much of a talker, opened his mouth, "Yeah, I think people from several regions who received the information have all come. Just from the First Region, many came, and members of the Chosen Alliance too."

"Chosen Alliance?"

Ye Chen and Xiao Fan exchanged a glance and laughed together.

The Chosen Alliance was an old acquaintance of theirs.

"Guests, you can't go in there. It's already been reserved."

"Move aside! Who dares to reserve a place on our Hero Alliance's turf? Tired of living? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he'd have to get out today!"

Outside, loud voices sounded.

Xiao Fan said helplessly, "As expected, the blind still came!"

Bam!

The door was kicked open, and six fierce-looking men with wide eyes stood outside the door.

One-Eyed cursed, "Who dares to reserve a place on our Hero Alliance's turf? Get lost! Don't force me to act!"

The restaurant owner looked at Ye Chen and the others with a troubled expression, like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

Ye Chen and the others stared coldly at the intruders.

"I'm talking to you! Are you all deaf? Get lost!" One-Eyed barked harshly.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others unmoved, the leader, Big Beard, got angry and summoned his pet directly.

Level 64!

"Get out!"

Xiao Fan felt a bit helpless and summoned his pet, and the others followed suit.

All of them were at levels 66 to 68!

Each of their pets was at least at the Sacred Artifact grade.

Ye Chen simply summoned Genggeng, a level 63 Creation Tier pet, which was an impressive display.

Seeing this, Big Beard and the others were instantly dumbfounded. They had thought it was just some garbage making a commotion, but it turned out to be a group of big shots.

They weren't the leaders of the Hero Alliance, just Hall Masters sent by the Alliance Leader to check the situation.

Both Xiao Fan and Ice Seal were bounty hunters, their Evil Qi was intimidating.

Big Beard stammered, "Sorry, sorry, we went into the wrong room, sorry."

With that, Big Beard prepared to leave.

Xiao Fan coldly said, "Did I let you go?"

Big Beard trembled and stood still.

"Look at the door, you kicked it down, and you plan to leave like this?"

Big Beard visibly relaxed, turned around and smiled, "We'll pay, we'll pay. Owner, here's a thousand gold coins, take it to replace the door."

He finished, pulled out a thousand gold coins, and stuffed it directly into the owner's hands.

"Hahaha, a thousand, a thousand gold coins, are you trying to placate a beggar?"

Big Beard was stunned, quickly pulled out ten thousand gold coins, "Ten thousand, ten thousand!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's cold hum, Big Beard was startled again, took out a hundred thousand gold coins, and handed them over.

After handing it to the owner, Big Beard looked at Xiao Fan tremblingly.

Xiao Fan's eyes remained cold, watching Big Beard, who knew Xiao Fan wasn't planning to let him go.

"Five hundred thousand! That's all I have!" Big Beard was almost in tears.

"Alright, get lost!" Xiao Fan waved his hand impatiently.

Big Beard quickly ran away.

The restaurant owner, staring blankly at the gold coins in his hands, hurriedly walked forward and respectfully placed them on the table.

"Sir, these gold coins are what you got, take them."

Xiao Fan took a sip of tea and said, "It's yours, keep it. Do I need this little gold? Hurry up, use the gold coins to change the door for me."

"Alright, alright! I'll get on it now!" The owner excitedly ran off with the gold coins.
