Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Old Ma stared at Jiang Yuan’s confident expression and could no longer hold back.

He promptly voiced the doubts in his heart.

“Young master, just how strong are you now? Can you contend with the Grand Master of the Black Wind Tribe?”

Jiang Yuan said, “Uncle Ma, you can rest assured. If I didn’t have this confidence, how could I speak lightly of leaving the city, let alone daring to carry out a public escort mission!”

Then Jiang Yuan shook his head, “As for how strong I am now, I don’t know!”

Old Ma, hearing this, immediately nodded vigorously, “That’s good! Since the young master is so confident. Then I will go and arrange it right away. We will carry out the public escort mission tomorrow and leave the city in a grand manner! I want to tell the whole of Lin’an County that our Zhenyuan Escort Agency has a successor!”

Having said that, he hurriedly left the hall.

Jiang Yuan looked at the excited Old Ma, who left in a hurry, and chuckled.

The Zhenyuan Escort Agency was no different from a family in Old Ma’s heart.

He had devoted most of his life to the four words: Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Now, suddenly hearing that the escort mission was to be carried out again, and moreover, a public escort mission.

His excitement was completely understandable.

Then Jiang Yuan turned to Gu MO, “Have you broken through to the eighth level of the Body Forging Realm?”

Gu MO nodded, “Yes! I just broke through last night, the young master’s perception is indeed keen!”

He continued, “I feel that my spirit seems to be naturally extremely strong. It seems that I don’t need to cultivate the mind, and I can immediately break through to the ninth level of the Body Forging Realm.”

[Name]: Gu MO

[Realm]: Body Forging Realm Level Eight

[Innate Fate]: Sword God’s Talent (Purple) Soul naturally complete (Green) Roughly Understands Blade Technique (White)

[Soul naturally complete]: Born with a divine soul, excellent senses, powerful mental strength.

Jiang Yuan replied, “Your feeling should be correct! But don’t rush to break through. Stay at the eighth level of the Body Forging Realm for ten days to half a month. Try to fully perceive the changes that each level brings. This may be more beneficial for your future!”

Gu MO nodded, “I was thinking the same thing. Hasty consecutive breakthroughs could lead to an unstable foundation!”

The next day.

Early morning.

At the entrance of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

The black iron gate of the agency suddenly boomed and slowly opened to both sides.

This sound instantly attracted the attention of countless people on the street.

The next moment.

“Clip-clop!”

The sound of horse hooves came forth.

Then, a fiery red pennant fluttered in the wind with a rustling sound.

It bore a large character “Jiang”.

“This is!!” The people who saw this scene were instantly astonished.

Several months ago, they had been living long-term on this street, and they had seen this scene countless times.

This was the lineup when Jiang Zhenyuan went on an escort mission.

Every time he escorted, it was such a grand lineup.

In his life, he had never carried out a hidden escort mission.

If he didn’t want to accept it, he wouldn’t, but once he accepted a task, he must carry out a public escort mission!

The fiery red pennant, the neighing of the horses, and the spirited escorts.

The familiarity of this scene was deeply etched in their memory.

They thought they could never see this scene again, as Jiang Zhenyuan had passed away.

Unexpectedly, today they saw this familiar scene once more.

At this moment.

Old Ma shouted loudly, “Fellow villagers, please make way, we have to leave the city for an escort mission!”

Upon hearing this, the vegetable-selling aunties and meat-selling uncles on both sides of the road hurriedly pulled back their stalls, and the pedestrians moved to either side.

They cleared a broad path for the horse carriage from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Old Ma clasped his hands in thanks from atop the carriage, “Thank you, fellow villagers!”

Just then.

Someone down below loudly asked, “Is Uncle Ma going on an escort mission?” “Exactly!” Old Ma laughed heartily and said: “Our Young Master is about to finish the escort mission the Old Master had not completed before.”

Having said that, he patted the horse’s back.

The robust horse instantly moved and walked straight ahead.

This time, not many people were going on the escort mission, only seven or eight people, with three horse carriages.

Fundamentally, according to Jiang Yuan’s intention, this trip would require only three people.

However, the young bodyguards in the escort agency were not happy about it.

They said, that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had never seen such a poor escort mission, they must be taken along.

Not for anything else, but to put on a show of strength.

It was a matter concerning the honor of the escort agency.

When Jiang Yuan said, this trip will encounter a formidable enemy.

The formidable enemy was the Grand Master of the Black Wind Tribe, a mighty presence at the pinnacle of Body Forging!

Since Lei Zhan died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, he must avenge Lei Zhan.

Upon hearing this, some people’s eyes flickered, and their faces revealed an expression of fear.

The god-like scene from that day reappeared in their minds.

The terror they felt, they still couldn’t shake it off even now.

But several people, their faces flushed, boldly stated, “We are not afraid. We are willing to live and die with the Young Master.”

Seeing their youthful spirit, and their fearlessness in the face of life and death.

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to agree to take them along.

At this moment, as the carriages of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency slowly moved along the road towards the outskirts of the city.

Some people looked surprised. An incomplete escort mission?

Could it be the goods Jiang Zhenyuan was escorting before?

The Grand Chieftain asked me to keep an eye on the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in this place. It seems like it’s finally paying off now!

Thinking of this, his face filled with excitement instantly.

He quickly plunged into the crowd, and in a moment, disappeared among the people.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Yuan, sitting on top of the carriage, looked in the direction where that person disappeared.

He murmured to himself, “Interesting. I didn’t expect someone to be watching me here.”

“Good, if they have malicious intentions, they will bring themselves to me to seek death.”

Along the way, the young bodyguards were all excited.

Escort work!

These two words were filled with anticipation in their hearts.

In the past, there were those old bodyguards, they weren’t qualified to walk across the world with the Old Master.

But now it’s different, a new generation replaces the old.

They are determined to make a name for the Young Master’s world.

Elsewhere.

Li Hong watched Jiang Yuan, who was about to leave the city, his face filled with disbelief.

“Old Fifth, do you think this Jiang Yuan is restless? Does he dare to leave the city? Doesn’t he know? Ning Buqi must utterly despise him by now!”

“I don’t understand either!” The black-clad man beside him shook his head, then said: “I think Jiang Yuan is a smart man, since he dares to leave the city, he must have something to rely on!”

“Rely on… could it be…” Li Hong pondered for a moment: “Could it be that he is confident enough to confront Ning Buqi head-on?”

Just finishing this sentence, he immediately shook his head.

“Impossible! Ning Buqi is a renounced disciple of Lankesh Temple, a legitimate successor. He is much stronger than the average ninth level Body Forging expert you find in the mortal realm. Even if Jiang Yuan has reached the seventh level of Body Forging or has just broken through to the eighth level, he cannot confront Ning Buqi head-on.”

The black-clad man nods, “Indeed, it’s highly unlikely! When I fired those arrows before, if Ning Buqi was just a normal ninth-level Body Forging expert, one arrow would have been enough to kill him. But the Grand Chieftain of the Black Wind Tribe stood my several arrows and retreated unscathed. If he were to fight me face to face, I would surely die at his hands!”

Li Hong nodded, then laughed.

“Old Fifth, find a chance to follow him at a distance, it won’t be long before Ning Buqi will find him! I am curious, what does Jiang Yuan have to rely on that he dares to leave the city so publicly!” “Yes, Old Master!”

The black-clad man replied respectfully..
