It was almost 2 a.m. when the Union Government army rushed back to Weiyang City after their failed mission.

They spread the news of the pa.s.sing of the monster horde the next morning. However, they did not mention that they were beaten and took the credit of solving the monster horde crisis.

Lin Huang was elated to hear the news from the Union Government early that morning. The way the Union Government hid the truth was precisely the outcome he wanted.

He did not care that they took the credit. He had all of the physical benefits in his storage s.p.a.ce anyway. All he cared about was the hushed fortune that he was getting.

However, the people from the Heaven Alliance were shocked to hear the news.

“They’re worthy of their name to be daring enough to go to the gully and fight the source of the monster horde.” Even Tan Lang admired the Union Government’s guts.

“They’ve got the upper hand of people in numbers. We could’ve done it too if there were 200 of us!” Shen Tao was reluctant to admit defeat.

“Since the monster horde has ended, the crisis in this foggy land has been solved. I guess we should leave after clearing the remaining monsters, shouldn’t we?” Li Jia lifted his head to look at Tan Lang. “The resources here are limited after all, and so is our time in the Fallen G.o.d Land.”

“What do you guys think?” Tan Lang did not voice his opinion right away. Instead, he threw the question at them.

“Indeed, it’s unnecessary for us to stay,” Tang Ning agreed. “We’ve been staying in this foggy land for more than half a month. To be exact, it’s the 47th day since we’ve entered the Fallen G.o.d Land. We’re only left with less than half of the three months limit. There are still many things to be discovered in the Fallen G.o.d Land, so there’s no need for us to waste our time here.”

The rest nodded in a.s.sent. Lin Huang was the only one who showed no response.

“Lin Xie, do you disagree with this?” Tan Lang noticed his lack of reaction and could not help but ask.

“I would like to stay for a couple of days to get more crystal cores.” Lin Huang made up an excuse. “After all, such an item that can restore Life Power instantly is rare outside.”

The rest were rather surprised by Lin Huang’s idea. All of them wanted to leave, but he was the only one who chose to stay. That would mean he would have to be separated from the group and go solo.

Li Jia gazed deeply into Lin Huang’s eyes and looked down at the teacup on the table before him. n.o.body could tell what he was thinking about.

Shen Tao was stunned for a second and objected immediately, “Lin Xie, there’s no more monster horde, so you wouldn’t get that many crystal cores even if you stayed to hunt. Why don’t you leave with us? Our efficiency would be higher if we hunted together as a team.”

Tan Lang turned silent for a moment and he seemed to recall something. He did not support what Shen Tao said. “You can stay if you really want to. This foggy area’s much safer than it is out there. You could always join us out there when you get bored here.”

“Thanks.” Lin Huang nodded while wearing a smile.

As the Heaven Alliance was discussing their plan, the other organizations were discussing a similar topic.

Most of the organizations had obtained the resources from the government residences. The sects had presented themselves. With Dynasty’s failed attempt as a warning, the underground organizations knew they could not use violence to steal.

The monster horde had ended. Apart from clearing the remaining monsters and redeeming the points for resources, it would be a waste a time for them to stay.

All the organizations were beginning to discuss leaving.

When night came, one of the inns in Weiyang City became crowded all of a sudden.

The inn had been fully booked by the people from the Union Government for the past week and no outsiders had been allowed in.

The army from the Union Government sat together in the hall of the inn.
