As his memory took him back to the period just before they had set off, every single scene that appeared in his mind cut deeply into Mu Qian Fan's heart. The brothers who had been so close, had all left him, for good.
Mu Qian Fan and his brothers in arms had always depended on accepting commissions entrusted to them by people for a living and they would often go hunt Spirit Beasts to gather spirit stones. The band of brothers would also accept assignments as armed escorts for merchant convoys and that was how Mu Qian Fan got acquainted with He Chang Le, when he had escorted the Chan Lin Auction House's merchandise.
Till one day, a man came to them, requesting that they go to the Heaven's End Cliff to survey the grounds at the bottom of the cliff. He had promised then, that if they were able to fully traverse the entire area below the Heaven's End Cliff and produce a complete map, the men would be handsomely rewarded.
