A distress message—from Old Liang.
Jiang Changkong had thought their paths would never cross again, so he had not taken him and those five people to heart.
He had nearly forgotten about them, yet now Old Liang was asking him for help?
An address had been included as well. It was not far from him.
After a brief consideration, Jiang Changkong took Lin Nanfeng and headed for the address.
Within a dense forest in the region controlled by Ordinary Province, a group of people sat on stone benches.
Old Liang sat at the edge, his face clouded with worry.
"Dad, don't overthink it. Isn't working anywhere all the same?" A middle-aged man sitting beside Old Liang spoke quietly.
"That may be true, but Lord Jiang is short-handed right now. I can't just look out for myself, can I?"
Old Liang sighed. "If it hadn't been for Lord Jiang back then, I'd probably have died in Sin Domain."
"But they won't let us leave."
The middle-aged man sounded helpless. "Lord Jiang's territory is on Overseas Island. His hand can't reach this far."
"They clearly agreed to let us leave before, yet these people went back on their word. It's truly hateful."
A flicker of anger crossed Old Liang's face. He looked up at the sky. "Lord Jiang has a good relationship with Huo Qinglan. Perhaps he can take us away."
A martial artist seated nearby could not help speaking up.
"Old Liang, give up on that thought for your family. Letting you stay and giving you a bite to eat is already merciful."
The Federation's three major regions—Ordinary Province, Great Province, and Overseas Island—generally did not interfere with one another.
If Jiang Changkong had chosen a territory in Ordinary Province, perhaps this would not have happened.
