Gazing at the ancient city ahead.

Zhan Yang and the others all had looks of excitement.

"Wow, we’ve finally made it to Gambling City."

"I’ve missed my days in Gambling City. It feels so good to be back."

JinLing sighed with delight.

Returning to Gambling City was like coming home.

In fact, they had lived in Gambling City for a long time and had grown quite fond of it.

"Grandpa Lev, is that Gambling City?"

Lin Yuan exclaimed in awe.

The sight of the ancient Gambling City, with its colossal and imposing presence, filled one with a sense of yearning.

Even though his family had fallen on hard times, Lin Yuan was still just a child, after all.

With new things to capture his attention, his mood had naturally brightened considerably.

Besides, he was a bright and clever boy.

"Yes, we’re here."

"We’ll soon reach our Lin Family’s manor. Your second uncle is there."

Lev was clearly very familiar with Gambling City.

The Lin Family owned a manor in Gambling City, and that was where they were going to settle down.

"That’s great!"

Lin Yuan laughed happily.

He turned his head to look at JinLing.

"Big Sister JinLing, we’re almost at Gambling City."

"I want to invite you all to our manor."

"Would you be willing to come?"

He flashed an innocent, radiant smile that made it impossible to refuse.

JinLing thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. We’ll come visit you at the Lin Family Manor."

Lin Yuan grew even happier.

He skipped over in front of Jiang Chen.

He grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm.

"Big Brother, will you come to our Lin Family Manor to see me?"

"I know you have things to do and are very busy, but I’ll miss you a lot."

Jiang Chen smiled and patted Lin Yuan’s head.

"Okay," he agreed. "Tell us your family’s address. Once we’ve finished our business, we’ll come see you."

Over the course of their journey, Jiang Chen had also grown quite fond of the boy.

He was very cheerful.

"Yay, yay!"

"Big Brother, Big Sister JinLing, I’ll be waiting for you to visit me at the Lin Family Manor."

"But don’t take too long! Come see me soon."

Jiang Chen recalled the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King into its Spirit Beast Bag.

In his other Spirit Beast Bag, the Black Fire Crow was slumbering.

The group finally arrived outside Gambling City.

Looking at the simple, ancient Gambling City, Jiang Chen reflected that these old cities in the Lower Realm were indeed exceedingly ancient.

They had existed for a very long time.

A thousand years ago, Jiang Chen had also visited the Lower Realm, and he had spent some time on the Bright Moon Continent.

Back then, on the Bright Moon Continent, he had saved a stray child and taken her in as a Maid.

But a thousand years had passed. It was enough to make one sigh.

They entered Gambling City.

Finally, it was time for Lin Yuan and Lev to part ways with Jiang Chen’s group.

"Big Brother, Big Sister JinLing, goodbye!"

"Come visit me soon!"

Lin Yuan waved goodbye to Jiang Chen and the others incessantly.

Lev, meanwhile, gave Jiang Chen’s group a deep bow.

"Everyone, my Young Master and I will take our leave now. If you finish your business, please come to our Lin Family Manor."

He had already given the address to Jiang Chen and the others.

In the end, Lev and Lin Yuan departed. Lin Yuan was reluctant to go, but he left all the same.

"They’re gone."

"I hope Lin Yuan can grow up happy."

JinLing was also very fond of the little boy, Lin Yuan.

She treated him like her own little brother.

"Alright, we should get going too."

"First, let’s deliver the Spirit Cloud Pill to Mr. Tu in Gambling City."

Now that they were in Gambling City, they had to complete the mission they had accepted.

The Spirit Cloud Pill had to be delivered to Mr. Tu.

Mr. Lü had already given them the address.

"Let’s go!"

The five of them headed straight for Mr. Tu’s residence.

However, on the way, Zhan Yang and the others all turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, we’re delivering a Fake Pill this time. What should we do?"

Jiang Chen said lightly, "It’s fine. Let’s just deliver it first. When the time comes, they will surely reveal their true intentions."

Even knowing it was a Fake Pill, they still had to insist on delivering it.

There was no other choice. After all, they had already accepted the job; they couldn’t just not deliver it.

Besides, if they didn’t hand it over, the Warring States Mercenary Corps’ reputation would be ruined, and they would never be able to get another mission.

「Inside a certain manor.」

At that moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in a comfortable grand preceptor’s chair under a pavilion, surrounded by a group of burly Martial Cultivators.

He took a sip of a finely brewed fruit drink before counting on his fingers.

Suddenly, he said, "Calculating the time, the people from the Warring States Mercenary Corps should be arriving soon."

He was the so-called Mr. Tu.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

’They killed people from our Black Demon Mercenary Corps, and now they’re delivering a Fake Pill. Let’s see how they get out of this.’

He then said to the guards beside him, "Keep an eye out for the Warring States Mercenary Corps. The moment they arrive, bring them to see me immediately."

A guard immediately ran out.

「Around afternoon.」

A guard hurried in.

"Boss Tu, the people from the Warring States Mercenary Corps have entered the city."

"They’ll probably come straight here."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tu immediately said, "Quick, you must stop them! Don’t let them go to the Mercenary Castle first."

"If they go to the Mercenary Castle and complete the mission there, we won’t be able to get the Moyang Flower!"

He immediately sent men to intercept Zhan Yang and the others.

In reality, Zhan Yang and his group weren’t rushing to the Mercenary Castle. Instead, they were heading straight for Mr. Tu’s manor.

"The Warring States Mercenary Corps?"

Just as they were about to head to the manor, someone appeared before Zhan Yang and his group.

Zhan Yang frowned and asked, "Yes, and you are?"

The person immediately gave them a friendly smile.

"It really is you. Excellent."

"Hello. We were sent by Lord Tu. Please come with us to see him now."

"You must be tired from your long journey."

Zhan Yang and the others were a bit surprised.

The other party had found out about them so quickly.

They had come prepared.

Among the group, a glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

’This is clearly a long-premeditated conspiracy.’

But he didn’t say anything for the moment.

"Alright, then!"

"Since you’re Mr. Tu’s men, we’ll go see him first."

Zhan Yang had no choice but to lead the group and follow Mr. Tu’s men.

They headed straight for the manor.

One had to understand that Gambling City was different from Guyue City.

Only rich and powerful figures could afford to buy a manor in Gambling City.

Ordinary people couldn’t even dream of affording one.

They knew this Mr. Tu was no ordinary person.

Soon, under the guidance of Mr. Tu’s men, Jiang Chen and the others arrived outside a manor.

"This is the place. Everyone, please, follow me!"

The man spoke with extreme politeness.

It seemed as if there really was no conspiracy at all.

Instead, Zhan Yang was the one who felt confused.

Upon entering the manor, they saw it was filled with numerous Spirit Grasses, which emanated a dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Cultivating here would yield excellent results.

At the same time, a clear look of envy appeared in Zhan Yang’s eyes.

Although the Warring States Mercenary Corps was a Two-Star Mercenary Corps, they hadn’t actually earned much in commissions.

They were dirt poor.

Zhan Yang had always longed to own a manor just like this one.
