Daoist Chu stood and stretched, his voice calm yet pleased. "Then it's settled. We'll leave once preparations are done. I'll handle the route and gather the necessary permissions."
Elyon nodded. "I'll check the current mercenary listings and see which ones align with our path."
Cattaleya smirked. "I'll pack some 'special' supplies. Just in case we need to have some extra fun on the way."
Monk Hushu smiled faintly and began chanting softly, "Amitabha. May this journey bring peace rather than chaos for you all."
Lin Mu already knew that Monk Hushu won't be joining them on this journey as he had his duties in the temple. He didn't mind it and hoped the monk could continue to grow stronger.
Lin Mu looked around at them; his friends, his companions, the people who had shared every hardship and victory with him. The thought of traveling with them again brought a quiet excitement to his heart.
For years, he had been bound to stillness. Now, the road called once more.
