Behind Ye Liuyun, a group of martial practitioners were following at a distance. The one leading the group was in the mid-stages of the Fifth Realm.
Along the way, they kept checking marks on the ground and tree barks, trailing behind the whole time. They were probably the accomplices of the pair of spies in Ye Liuyun's group.
After taking a break, the group resumed their journey with individual thoughts and motives.
In the following journey, Ye Liuyun and his group kept encountering feral beasts. Thankfully, there was a large number of fighters at the Fourth Realm in their group, making the feral beasts relatively easy to deal with.
Whoever killed the feral beasts would have it as their own, and no disputes had been brought up between the mercenaries.
But when it came to Fifth Realm feral beasts, a few mercenaries started to demand higher pay.
"If we go any further, it'll be more dangerous than what we had initially expected. We need a pay raise."
