Daili voiced her concern, her voice tinged with worry. "That is precisely what worries me. Think about it, from the tone of your voice, that Demon Dragon Clan must not be easy to deal with. Yet you left their Young Clan Leader gravely injured. Given their temperament, how could they possibly let you off so easily? That’s why Xue'er and I were so concerned earlier."

Hearing Daili’s words, Latin and the others finally understood the reason behind her expression. Indeed, if a person offended the Dragon Clan on the Dragon Soaring Continent, they would practically have no ground to stand on. The Dragon Clan's might was far beyond what they could currently contend with. No wonder Daili and Murong Feixue were so anxious.

Only Mo Han remained outwardly nonchalant upon hearing Daili’s worry, letting out a casual chuckle.

Seeing this, Murong Feixue couldn't help but speak up. "Brother Mo Han, aren't you worried at all? These are very serious issues."

Mo Han smiled as he replied, "Actually, I considered this point long ago. That's why when I made my move yesterday, I already concealed my face. At most, the Demon Dragon Clan's Young Clan Leader knows I am a human, but he absolutely did not see my face, so naturally, he cannot recognize me. Furthermore, there are so many humans on the Dragon Soaring Continent—do you think he can investigate every single one? By the time he finds out, we’ll likely be long gone. So, the scenario you are worrying about will not happen. Relax."

Upon hearing Mo Han's explanation, Daili and the others finally let their guard down. Jack immediately launched into a flurry of flattery. "Boss is Boss! You always think things through more thoroughly than us; you are truly amazing!"

Mo Han puffed out his chest proudly. "Heh heh, of course. You have to see who we are, after all."

Hearing Mo Han’s shameless words, Daili let out a coquettish retort. "You! Since you already figured this out, why didn't you tell us sooner and let us worry ourselves sick over you? Really."

Mo Han smiled gently. "Heh heh, if I didn't do this, how would I show off how intelligent my wife and Xue'er are? You should actually thank me for providing you both with an opportunity to shine."

Daili replied with a helpless sigh. "Oh? Then how do you expect us to thank you?" Mo Han grinned wickedly. "How about I endure the hardship of sleeping with my wife tonight?"

In his mind, Mo Han imagined if Murong Feixue were included, that would be... No, no, can't wander there. It seemed that when a man reached a crucial point, his primal instincts would surface, hehe.

Daili’s face flushed deeply as she scolded him. "Go die! Dream on! Why don't you go sleep with Xue'er?"

Murong Feixue’s face turned even redder. "Sister Daili, why are you ganging up with that scoundrel to tease me? I’m ignoring both of you."

Daili smiled meaningfully. "I'm helping you, silly girl, don't you know?" Hearing Daili’s suggestive words, Murong Feixue blushed so deeply she wished her head could sink into the ground. "Sister Daili, you’re making fun of me too."

Seeing Murong Feixue’s expression, everyone smiled. Mo Han, as one of the central figures, was secretly bursting with pride, yet he dared not show any expression on his face, adopting an air of complete detachment. Even Mo Han began to admire his own acting skills; perhaps frequent contact with Daili and the others had significantly improved his craft. If the Dragon Soaring Continent ever held an award ceremony for Best Actor, it would surely go to him, hehe.

Mo Han thought proudly to himself.

At that moment, Daili spoke up. "Heh heh, I won't tease you anymore, girl. Alright, let's hurry back. After today's commotion, I don't think anyone can travel anymore. Let's go back, rest well, and set off tomorrow."

Hearing Daili's suggestion, everyone nodded in agreement. After the earlier disruption, it was nearly noon, making it too late to reach the next city. It seemed they would have to stay put for the night.

However, Mo Han and the others never anticipated that the Demon Dragon Clan's Young Clan Leader would recognize the Holy Sword of Light, nor did they imagine the deep-seated feud between that sword and the Demon Dragon Clan. It would ultimately be this very Holy Sword of Light that led to Mo Han’s identity being exposed by the Demon Dragon Clan later on, but that was a tale for another time.

Upon returning to the city, everyone casually ate something before retiring separately. After the events of the previous day, everyone felt somewhat exhausted, so they retired early to quickly restore their energy and condition for the journey ahead tomorrow.

The next morning, the group set off early, heading towards the Kanya Empire. Once they reached the Kanya Empire and bypassed two cities, they would soon arrive at the Duchy of Cardic.

The journey was relatively smooth, with no unexpected incidents occurring. After several days of travel, the group finally reached the outskirts of Imar City in the Duchy of Cardic one fine morning. However, the area was under martial law; soldiers of the Duchy of Cardic were patrolling everywhere, absolutely prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, unless they possessed proof of a mission from the Mercenary Guild or an order from the King.

Mo Han understood that this lockdown was necessary to prevent the epidemic from spreading; it was the last resort in any situation.

After presenting his mission certificate to the guards, the older soldier captain kindly addressed them. "Young ones, to reach C-rank mercenary status at such a young age, you are quite remarkable within the Mercenary Guild. However, the situation inside this time is no ordinary task. Several A-rank mercenary groups went in and never came out. I expect this mission is extremely dangerous, so you must be very careful. Also, once you enter, you cannot leave until the epidemic ends or the Kingdom issues a new decree. I hope you understand."

Mo Han and the others smiled and offered their thanks.

Originally, Mo Han and his companions wanted to inquire about the latest situation in Imar City, but the soldier captain knew nothing concrete either. He only stated that the information was sealed off by higher-ups, and the specifics would only be known upon entering; those manning the perimeter had no way of knowing the details.
