As the sky darkened, sounds could be heard coming from the cave entrance.

After giving Qin Lang his last warning, Ye Yangzi returned to the Hidden Dragon Pearl and continued resting.

Qin Lang looked at the cave head. Two familiar figures walked in, but they were already two different faces. Their faces were expressionless, as though Qin Lang had sensed something.

"Brother Ye, Hu Die, did something happen?"

Hoshino forced a smile and greeted, "Brother Qin, you've woken up. Are you alright?"

"Brother Ye, I've already recovered and made a breakthrough. Did something happen to the other brothers?"

When Hoshino left, he had told him that this place was not far from Longmen Town which was outside of the underworld's Heaven Lake. Since they had been out for so long today, they should be heading to Longmen Town to investigate the situation.

Xing Ye and Hu Die had basically come here with the same cultivation base as Qin Lanjian, so naturally the other sixteen mercenaries from Mammon would also have come to Longmen Town.

With his current expression, the situation was definitely not looking good. Qin Lang could only imagine the worst case scenario, that there would only be a few mercenaries from the sixteen.

"Qin Lang, congratulations on your breakthrough. This is probably the only good news for us."

The corner of Hu Die's mouth raised. She barely smiled and said a few words of congratulations.

Brother Qin, our original portraits have already been posted on the walls of Longmen Town. Today, Hu Die and I will gather the brothers that have come.

Of the 16 people, only nine of them came. Among them, only one team was still alive, and only one team was still intact.

"Brother Ye, I was the one who let them down …"

Qin Lang lowered his head. The three people who had confirmed his death were the same as Scar Six, they had all accepted his bounty quest. Although Hoshino had explained previously that this was the responsibility of the Mammon Mercenaries, he still felt guilty about it.

"Qin Lang, it's still the same. When they accepted this mission, they knew it might be like this, but they still came. None of the nine brothers blame you. What we need to do now is to help you reach the underworld race's Heaven Lake."

Hu Die consoled her. When she finished saying this, the sadness on her face had already disappeared, returning to her original appearance as Immortal Lady He.

"Right, Qin Lang, the dead are already dead, we are still alive. We still need to continue living, this is the fate of mercenaries, dying for their own mission is not a regret.

Qin Lang, if you truly feel guilty, then you must remember your goal and save your friend as soon as possible. "The human race and the Dark Clan are irreconcilable enemies. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between them. We will wait for you to join us and avenge the deaths of our brothers and sisters."

Perhaps it was due to Hu Die's influence, but Hoshino seemed to have understood in an instant and encouraged Qin Lang.

"Alright, Brother Ye, I'll listen to you guys. As long as we don't die this time, then I'll definitely come with you guys to avenge the deaths of our brothers."

Qin Lang raised his head, his eyes filled with determination as they collided together with Hoshino's gaze. This so-called growth, perhaps this was also a type of growth. When you lost it, you would also have it at the same time.

"Haha, it's for the best if Brother Qin thinks this way. Tomorrow, we will go to the Heaven's Lake together. I'm sure those underworld bastards didn't expect that we weren't running for our lives, but were headed to their hinterlands instead."

After feeling sad, he needed to do something rash. What could be more exciting than this?

"Brother Ye, have you ever thought about why the Nether Race's experts acted as if they knew we were coming here? We obviously just arrived in West City yesterday. Have we forgotten something?"

Qin Lang suddenly asked. This was the question he had been thinking about all along.
