This mercenary town can be considered a relatively peaceful place, specifically because people here have become accustomed to a bland lifestyle, or rather a routine and unchanging life. After all, it's a life of licking blood from the blade's edge, where can you find any true peace?
A youth dressed in white walked along the path of the mercenary town, with vendors on both sides exhibiting a rich local flavor. The youth looked at the surrounding architecture with keen interest; the buildings here lean towards the style of the Demon Clan, perhaps due to cultural diffusion in the past. The youth had previously only seen such architecture in books.
Of course, this youth is none other than Long Yan, who just returned from inside the temple. The Cracked Earth Bear continuously carried Long Yan to the outermost area of the Demon Beast Forest, after which Long Yan allowed the Cracked Earth Bear to return to the Demon Beast Forest, choosing to walk into the town on his own.
