The sun was dipping low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape as Ardiel, Jiang Meng Yan, Yurong, Xiao Dan, and Jiang Fei stood at the edge of the clearing.
The mission to Long Island had concluded, and the successful completion of their objectives was evident in their relieved expressions. The Beggars Sect members, who had aided them in their journey, gathered around, ready to part ways.
Yiang Meng Yan extended her hand to the members of the Beggars Sect, specifically to Elder Xuan Zhen.
"Thank you for your assistance. Without your help, this mission would have been far more challenging."
"The honor was ours. Your bravery and skill have earned our deepest admiration. Safe travels back to Huashan."
With final goodbyes and promises to remain allies, the Beggars Sect members began their journey back to their own territories.
