The morning in Halam Town was bustling with activity, crowded and lively. The morning sun bathed this ancient town in orange,

after a whole night’s journey. Xiao Tian, Colin, Melinda, and others finally emerged from the Primitive Forest and returned to the town.

At this moment, as they walked on the street, Colin suddenly quickened his pace to catch up to Xiao Tian and flattered, "Tian, you must be hungry, right? Let me take you to the best restaurant here; all the eating and drinking is on me!"

Ever since learning of Xiao Tian’s identity as a Hunter, Colin’s attitude towards Xiao Tian had dramatically changed. The title of Hunter was well-known, especially after witnessing Xiao Tian’s terrifying skills, destroying the forest, and directly confronting phantom attacks. Now, he regards Xiao Tian as a celestial being, admiring him immensely.

Very soon, they reached the main street of Halam Town. Along the way, Colin persistently fawned over Xiao Tian, like a sycophant, bowing and scraping.

Many residents of Halam Town were left dumbfounded upon seeing this scene. Who was Colin? He was practically the local tyrant, hitting whoever he wanted; no one dared to mess with him.

Now, Colin was treating an outsider with such respect, as if a son had met his father! This scene left many people bewildered.

With Colin leading the way, Xiao Tian and the others arrived at the "Sunset Avenue" restaurant in Halam. Seeing Colin arrive, the restaurant owner was instantly terrified, hurriedly coming out from behind the counter, bowing and scraping to Colin, "Master Colin, I’ll pay this month’s protection fee right away! Right away! What would you like to eat? It’s on me!"

Seeing the owner’s attitude made Colin feel extremely embarrassed. He glared at the owner fiercely, pulled out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to the owner, saying, "Do I look like someone who eats for free? Get us a room now, and if my big brother is satisfied, the protection fee will be waived in the future!"

"Huh?" Hearing Colin call Xiao Tian ’big brother,’ the owner was first taken aback and then smiled immediately, nodding quickly, "Please follow me to the prestigious suite on the second floor!"

Under the owner’s guidance, they entered a spacious room on the second floor. The owner’s gaze at Xiao Tian was filled with reverence, someone whom Colin called ’big brother’ must have an unimaginably significant identity!

Melinda, who had long been hungry, didn’t hold back at all, grabbing the menu and almost ordering all the best dishes in the restaurant. In less than half an hour, the table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes.

Upon seeing the array of food, Melinda devoured them as if facing an archenemy. She wasted no time, picking up utensils and devouring everything like a storm, gobbling up chicken legs one after another, leaving Colin dumbfounded, thinking to himself.

"This woman is too fierce!"

In less than an hour, the food on the table was entirely consumed by them. Whether it was because Xiao Tian was hungry or not, despite usually only liking Huaxia dishes, he surprisingly took a liking to the exotic flavors here and ate no less than Melinda did.

After they finished eating, Melinda wiped her mouth and said contentedly, "Alright then, I’ve eaten, and it’s time for me to go."

Originally, Melinda’s purpose for coming here was to assassinate Xiao Tian. It seemed now that it was practically impossible, and through the experiences in the Primitive Jungle over the past few days, Melinda also had some new discoveries about her abilities and had no intention of staying any longer.

Before leaving, Melinda expressed her anticipation for meeting Xiao Tian again next time.

To this, Xiao Tian responded with a faint smile. Fate is something no one can predict.

After the meal, Colin respectfully escorted Xiao Tian to a high-end local hotel, making all the arrangements before leaving, treating Xiao Tian as if he were a revered ancestor.

----

At night, deep into the night, Xiao Tian sat alone on the hotel bed, lost in deep thought.

The woman he met in the temple, though she wore a veil, Xiao Tian could clearly sense that she was Liu Hanyan, whom he had been searching for a long time!

However, at the same time, Xiao Tian had many confusions. If Liu Hanyan was really alive, why hadn’t she come to find him after so many years?

What relationship did Liu Hanyan have with the temple and Raindrop? What on earth happened back then??

Now Xiao Tian finally realized that a series of events that happened back then hid too many mysteries.

In the following days, the unwilling Xiao Tian continued deeper into the Primitive Jungle, searching for the whereabouts of the temple.

Unfortunately, now the forest no longer contained special energy, and all the mist had disappeared. Xiao Tian spent two days searching the entire forest, finding nothing but the ruins left from the previous attacks on the temple, with no trace of the temple.

Afterwards, Xiao Tian dialed Ghost Face’s number.

Upon receiving Xiao Tian’s call, Ghost Face on the other end hurriedly said, "Hey? Kid, how’s it going?"

"Not very well. I discovered a temple, and before I could examine it closely, it disappeared..." Xiao Tian paused, continued, his tone a bit heavy, "I found a woman in that temple, it should be Liu Hanyan, but she also disappeared with the temple later!"

"Temple? It seems that strange energy was emitted by it...." Ghost Face on the other end pondered for a moment, then said, "Previously, my side showed a burst of enormous energy at your place, and then the strange energy throughout the forest completely disappeared. Now it seems, the temple is unlikely to appear in that forest anymore. The next time it appears, it will surely be elsewhere."

Although Xiao Tian was extremely unwilling, he had no choice. At that moment, he said, "I estimate that temple will certainly appear again in the future, so you must contact me at the first moment when it happens!"

After speaking, Xiao Tian hung up the phone. Now that the temple had disappeared, there was no point in staying. Therefore, Xiao Tian set off on his return journey as well.

Now, all he could do was wait for Ghost Face to discover the whereabouts of the temple.

----

At the same time, in Shanghai, on the road leading from the West City Branch to the Shanghai Court.

A police car carrying Jin Zhan was driving in the center. Two police cars, one in front and one behind, formed a small convoy, slowly advancing.

Just as the convoy was passing through a small forest, Jin Feng, who had been waiting for a long time behind the forest, suddenly displayed a sinister look and said directly, "Take action!"

Subsequently, Jin Feng sprang out of the forest, aimed a gun at the police car, and fired. The bullet hit the tire of the police car holding Jin Zhan.

Inside the car, Jin Zhan was overjoyed upon seeing this, laughing maniacally, "Hahaha, my brother has come to save me, you’re all doomed today!"
