New Mission

Hu Long walked up the weathered steps towards Caelus's courtyard, having finished dealing with all of the ruckus after reporting on the Steel-Back Wraith. Even with Cui Feng's testimony, however, the elders of the sect were skeptical that two Qi Gathering disciples and a guest in the Foundation Establishment realm could have taken one down, to say the least.

Fed up with their condescending attitude, he'd simply told them to verify it with Ryker later, since he had taken the beast's corpse. Not that he even thought they would bother to do so, but if they were going to ignore a potential threat like this, he wouldn't concern himself with it.

It wasn't his problem if this decision came back to bite them. The only reason he had joined the sect was to obtain benefits, after all!

He paused for a moment. Shaking his head, he let out a deep breath to steady himself. This was why things with Fu Ling ended up the way they were; he really just needed to let things go.
