Chapter 619 - 619 605 Pulling the Small Leader

Chapter 619: Chapter 605: Pulling the Small Leader Chapter 619: Chapter 605: Pulling the Small Leader With his eyes closed, Ye Chen seemed to be asleep but he was deeply lost in thought, mulling over the need to consolidate the Dark Zone.

The people behind him began to argue, one of them saying, “Shen Bai and Zhao Kun can’t possibly pretend nothing is happening. After all, someone is challenging their rules now. If those rules are broken, won’t it disrupt the laws governing the Dark Zone that have remained independent from the Wastelands? Wouldn’t Yuan Menhai seize the opportunity to take control of the Dark Zone too?”

A man mocked, “Shen Bai and Zhao Kun only care about themselves. They are only concerned with immediate benefits and won’t think beyond that. They will follow whoever has power. They used to listen to the bearded man until he no longer seemed invincible, and now they are just standing by, watching the show. With the Third Demon stepping in, they will undoubtedly shift their allegiance back to the bearded man.”

A middle-aged man disagreed, “No, they should be able to see the big picture. If the Third Demon steps in, it will disrupt the status quo of the Dark Zone self-governing itself, which wouldn’t benefit them either. They should see the danger here.”

Anyone who thinks about it would see that, if the Third Demon starts interfering with the Dark Zone’s affairs and the Dark Zone’s people don’t obey, the Third Demon’s men can step in at any time, undermining the autonomy of the Dark Zone.”

The middle-aged man continued, “This rule has been here for hundreds of years, the breaking of it poses a danger to the entire Dark Zone. I believe that wise people will see the problem and rise against it.”

After listening, Guo Yuyun said, “I reckon we can use this situation to our advantage.” He nudged Ye Chen.

With his eyes still closed, Ye Chen said, “Are you all not tired? Can’t I catch a decent sleep for two hours? I’m exhausted.” In reality, he was listening.

The squabbling finally ceased.

Guo Yuyun happily said, “Then I will sleep with you.”

Ye Chen shifted position, retorting, “Who would want to sleep with you? Shameless!”

But a mighty arm had already seized him, firmly squeezing him. He cried out as the others laughed.

Opening his eyes, Ye Chen asked, “Are you planning to take advantage of me here?”

Guo Yuyun just held on, as though making a bold statement of dominance to the onlooking girl.

Ye Chen gave up struggling and resumed his sleep.

Only then did Guo Yuyun stop poking him.

Ye Chen contemplated, it seemed he could indeed take advantage of the situation.

With Xiao Bai forming an alliance with the bearded man and stepping into the Dark Zone, their power was stronger than his. However, the Dark Zone had many lesser leaders who, if organized, could pose a significant challenge. If he could rally them against Xiao Bai and the bearded man, his chances of success would be much higher.

At the very least, it would increase his advantage over the current situation. But how to make use of this opportunity?

He needed to seriously think it through in order to fully exploit it.

The sky was gradually brightening, and he had no idea how long he had slept. Suddenly feeling disoriented, Ye Chen woke up.

Jiang Zhuge came towards him with some food.

Only then did Ye Chen notice that Guo Yuyun had left.

Thankfully, he had managed to get some sleep.

Jiang Zhuge had just received news from Xue Tian, who had only found out what happened the previous night.

Accepting the food from Jiang Zhuge, Ye Chen asked, “So, do you know about the situation with the Xue brothers?”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and reassured him, “Don’t worry, they are safe. The bearded man indeed targeted us last night, not sparing much effort to seriously harm the Xue brothers. After dispersing, they got to know about the incidents on our side.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt somewhat relieved.

“Damn Xiao Bai, ignoring all rules and threatening to disrupt the laws of the Dark Zone.”

As Ye Chen relished his roast meat, Jiang Zhuge sat down opposite him. Knowing that the Xue brothers were safe, he too felt more at ease.

Jiang Zhuge continued, “I am planning to join forces with those minor leaders, including Shen Bai and Zhao Kun, to oppose the bearded man and all his plottings with the Third Demon, especially his intention to allow the Third Demon’s men into the Dark Zone.”

The New City Sect originally belonged to the Wastelands. But after Wasteland City was pierced through, they all had moved into the Dark Zone, implying that they were part of the Dark Zone now.

Hearing this, Ye Chen responded, “On this matter, it would be better for the Xue brothers to take the lead. I believe they know what to do.”

Jiang Zhuge thought that it made sense. After all, the Xue brothers had been in the Black Area for many years and understood it better, especially their good relationships with Shen Bai and Zhao Kun, made them more persuasive than the people of the New City Sect.

Ye Chen added, “They understand those minor leaders better and are more persuasive. After all, we’ve just entered the Black Area, they are not familiar with us, they might not trust us.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and said, “Right, indeed, I now know what to do.”

Kong Sha by the side chimed in, “If we really can persuade those minor leaders to join our side, it would be great. However, those minor leaders, they fear trouble. They might just be scared of the Third Demon and pretend as if nothing has happened.”

Ye Chen said, “Let the Xue brothers explain the situation clearly to them. Although these leaders are very self-serving, anyone with a brain would understand what it would mean if the Third Demon could freely enter the Black Area. They will figure it out.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded again and said, “Yes, there should be people who can grasp the severity of the situation. This is about whether they will be the masters of the Black Area in the future and whether they will still have a say in the future.”

“Exactly, given the current situation, let the Xue brothers be straightforward and clear. We will deal with the consequences later.” Ye Chen continued to eat his meal.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Okay, I will take you home, then go and find the Xue brothers and explain everything to them. Let’s see if we can really draw them to our side. If we can genuinely bring Shen Bai, Zhao Kun, and those minor leaders over, it would be much better for us.”

“You don’t have to take us home. Li Mo and I will go by ourselves. There’s no time to lose. Go and find the Xue brothers right away. Who knows if that damned Xiao Bai will stir up more trouble.” Ye Chen was still a bit anxious since the people of the Third Demon had already entered the Black Area. “Tell Xue Tian and the others to be cautious and avoid rushing into action. There could be ambushes.”

Jiang Zhuge understood Ye Chen’s point and said, “Okay then, you and Li Mo will head back to the Bamboo Forest Valley.”

Ye Chen fell silent.

Jiang Zhuge immediately left with Kong Sha and a group of others to go see Xue Tian and Xue Ran.

Xue Tian and Xue Ran were shocked.

Xue Ran, who was straightforward, exclaimed, “Damn the bearded man. He’s getting more and more unruly. It’s completely lawless.”

Xue Tian asked, “How did you escape last night?”

“Fortunately, the Sect Leader who was returning from outside happened to be resting nearby. He noticed the fight, saw us being besieged, and rescued us. Otherwise, we might have died in that encirclement.” Jiang Zhuge said.

Xue Tian fell silent for a moment, then said, “That was really dangerous.”

Xue Ran said, “If Xiao Bai’s men come in, we are no match for them. We can only defend ourselves.”

Jiang Zhuge quickly asked, “Can we bring Shen Bai and Zhao Kun in?”

Xue Ran said, “Both of them are usually afraid of trouble.”

“They can’t afford to be afraid anymore. Think about it, if the Third Demon can freely enter the Black Area, then they can come in and out as they please, subdue anyone they want. The rules of the Black Area would be totally ignored. I came today to discuss this matter with you. Can you explain the whole situation to Shen Bai and Zhao Kun and let them understand the severity of the situation? They should oppose the bearded man’s behavior.”

Xue Tian was silent for a while after hearing this.

Xue Ran said, “I’m afraid their opposition won’t be effective.”

Jiang Zhuge laughed upon hearing this, “It might not be effective. The bearded man will still do whatever he wants, but we can possibly use this opportunity to bring Shen Bai and Zhao Kun on our side. If we get help from their group, that would greatly improve our situation.”

Xue Tian nodded continuously after hearing this, understanding Jiang Zhuge’s idea. “This is a good idea.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “Whether the bearded man listens or not is his own business. But if we can use this opportunity to completely bring Shen Bai and Zhao Kun to our side, that would definitely be good.”

Xue Tian said, “You’re right. We might actually be able to pull Shen Bai into our ranks. We can’t allow the bearded man to do as he pleases.”

“You have to make them understand the severity of the situation. They are not idiots, they are all leaders. The Third Demon’s claws have already reached into the Black Area, directly interfering with the matters of the Black Area. How can there be peace in their future?”

“Yes, you’re right, Shen Bai and Zhao Kun should understand this.” Xue Tian rose from his seat and said, “I will go find them now to confront the bearded man.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and added, “Also, we were lucky to survive this time. But we don’t know what plot the bearded man and Xiao Bai are hatching next. Everyone should be cautious to avoid a repeat of what happened last night. Minimize sorties, and if something happens on the other side, we must communicate and avoid ambushes.”

Xue Tian nodded, called out, “Xue Ran, hold down the fort. I’m going to find Shen Bai and Zhao Kun.”

Jiang Zhuge also left.

Xue Tian had to thoroughly persuade Shen Bai and Zhao Kun and let them know exactly what happened last night.
