When it was almost two in the morning, the Coalition government army rushed back to Weiyang City overnight since they found nothing.
The next morning, the Coalition government spread the news about the end of the monster horde. However, they did not mention anything about being intercepted. They claimed the credit for resolving the monster horde crisis.
Lin Huang was elated to hear the news from the Coalition government early in the morning. The way the Coalition government handled the situation by covering up the truth was exactly what he wanted to see.
As for the credit, he did not care if they claimed it. After all, the material benefits were all stored in his storage space. He could just keep it to himself.
However, the people from the Heaven Alliance were shocked to hear the news.
"The Coalition government lives up to their name. I can't believe they dared to go into the abyss and attack the source of the monster horde." Even Tan Lang admired the courage of the people from the Coalition government.
"Even if they have the advantage of numbers, we can do it too if there are 200 of us!" Shen Tao was unconvinced.
"Since the monster horde has ended, the crisis in this foggy world has been resolved. Shouldn't we retreat after we've cleared the remaining monsters?" Li Jia lifted his head to look at Tan Lang. "After all, the resources in this foggy world are limited. We can only stay in the Fallen God Land for a limited time."
"What do you guys think?" Tan Lang did not voice his opinion right away. Instead, he pushed the question to the rest.
"Indeed, there's no need for us to stay." Tang Ning nodded. "We've been in this foggy world for more than half a month. It's the 47th day that we've been in the Fallen God Land. We're less than half of the three-month deadline. There are many places in the Fallen God Land that have yet to be explored. There's no need for us to waste our time here. "
The rest nodded in agreement. Lin Huang was the only one who did not say anything.
"Lin Xie, do you have a different opinion?" Tan Lang noticed that and could not help but ask Lin Huang.
"I'd like to stay for a few more days to accumulate more crystal cores." Lin Huang came up with an excuse for himself. "After all, it's rare to find such an item that can recover Life Power quickly."
The others were rather surprised by Lin Huang's choice. Everyone had left, but he was the only one who chose to stay. That meant he had no choice but to leave the group and act alone.
Li Jia took a good look at Lin Huang and lowered his head to look at the teacup on the table. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
Shen Tao was stunned for a moment and immediately objected, "Lin Xie, without the Beast Tide, you won't be able to hunt for many crystal cores even if you stay for a few more days. Why don't you come with us? It'll be more efficient if we hunt together. "
Tan Lang was silent for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and did not agree with Shen Tao. "If you want to stay, then stay. This foggy area is safer than the outside. If one day you get tired of staying here, you can go out and meet up with us. "
"Thank you." Lin Huang smiled and nodded.
While the Heaven Alliance was discussing the follow-up arrangements, the other major powers were also discussing the same topic.
The major organizations had obtained all the resources that they could from the government residences. The sects had appeared. With Dynasty's annihilation as an example, the underground organizations could no longer take resources by force.
The monster horde had ended. Apart from killing the remaining monsters and exchanging them for points and resources, staying would only be a waste of time.
The major organizations began to think about retreating.
When night fell, an inn in Weiyang City became crowded all of a sudden.
The Coalition government had booked the inn for more than a week, so no outsiders were allowed in.
The Coalition government's soldiers sat together in the inn's lobby.
"We've found the organization that intercepted us. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the heretics who did it," Fei Yun, the young man with the buzz cut, told them the news that he had been investigating for the entire day.
"There are two gunmasters among the heretics this time. They're a pair of female twins. There's also an Elementalist who possesses both ice and fire attributes. Among all the underground organizations, only the heretics' characteristics match the battle marks left behind in the underground space. "
"I told you it's the heretics!" Feng Yong looked proud as if he had guessed it right.
"What a heretic! They intercepted us before we did! "Fu Qingwei slammed the table ferociously, turning the wooden table into dust.
"Lady boss, do we fight them?" Fei Yun asked while stretching his neck.
"Of course! Otherwise, they'll think that it's easy to take our Coalition government's things! " Fu Qingwei gave a definite answer without hesitation. However, she soon calmed down. "But not now."
"Everyone has been exhausted for the past two days. Let's rest for two days and kill all the monsters outside the city."
"The monster horde crisis has been resolved. All the major organizations should be getting ready to leave this foggy world now, including the heretics. All we need to do is block the exit before the heretics move and wait for them. "
"Fei Yun, from now on, keep an eye on the heretics. Let me know if there's any news."
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, the heretics had no idea that they had become the scapegoat for Lin Huang for no reason.
Just because there were two gunmasters and an Elementalist with ice and fire attributes in their team, the Coalition government had their eyes on them and treated them as their mortal enemy.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Lin Huang, had no idea about that.
Although Bloody's Leech Pods were monitoring the Coalition government's movements, they dared not get too close.
In EA.2's team, Fu Qingwei and the fortune-teller named Cao Zhen could sense the existence of the Leech Pods from a close distance.
Bloody could only control the Leech Pods to monitor them from hundreds of meters away. They could not hear what they were talking about in the inn at all.
Without guarding the city wall, Lin Huang got the Herculean King, Bing Wang, Bloody Robe, and the Malachian Fiend to follow Tan Lang and the rest to kill the monsters.
Meanwhile, he stayed at the inn and continued to practice the local methods.
Time flew by, and two days had passed. Tan Lang and the rest had killed all the remaining monsters within a radius of 1,000 kilometers around Enlightenment City.
Apart from Lin Huang, the people from the Heaven Alliance had exchanged the monster carcasses for points and many resources.
Since there was no need to stay any longer, Tan Lang and the rest bade farewell to the people from the government residence. Apart from Lin Huang, the people from the Heaven Alliance left early in the morning on the third day.
Lin Huang watched as Tan Lang and the rest stepped into the dimensional portal that led to the foggy world's exit. He only turned around and returned to his room at the inn after watching them disappear after the dimensional portal closed.
The inn that had been bustling for over half a month was empty all of a sudden. Lin Huang was not used to it.
Lin Huang had a slight change of expression when he returned to his room. He released three God Figurines' Combat Souls at the same time and shouted, "Who's messing around?!"
Lin Huang was very sure that he had been pulled into the dreamland without realizing it.
He noticed it because he realized that Bloody was gone from his sleeve.
He recalled the strange situation downstairs earlier. Not only was there no customer in the inn, but even the owner and the waiters were gone. He could no longer hear the noise of the customers downstairs and the waiters' shouts. The entire inn was so quiet that it was like an uninhabited haunted house that was located in the wilderness.
