"Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure working with you these past few days. Until we meet again."
"Farewell."
"Take care."
Liu Xiang and the others solemnly clasped their fists to Long Zhen, then turned decisively and headed toward the royal capital.
Watching their departing figures, along with that enormous, bloated monster, Long Zhen and the others opened their mouths, only to finally let out a sigh.
The Taiping Dao people had appeared again earlier, saying that Chen Shaokuan, one of Beiyang's Veteran Intruder big shots, was in danger.
