Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 15: Returning to the City

Gu Mo watched as the two people approached at high speed, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

It's good that nothing happened!

Suddenly, he was taken aback, staring at Jiang Yuan's approaching figure in a daze.

As Jiang Yuan got closer, he felt a vague sense of oppression.

He couldn't help but feel incredulous. Could the young master have made another breakthrough?

Breaking through the marrow and entering the seventh level of Body Tempering, reaching the level of blood exchange.

This kind of strength is only possessed by three people among the younger generation in Lin'an County, and one of them is himself.

The young master's talent is unexpectedly terrifying!

Or did something special happen to the young master in the past half an hour, causing his strength to skyrocket?

He was immediately confused and puzzled.

After a few breaths.

The figures of the two people appeared in front of the carriage.

"Did anything unexpected happen while I was away?"

Gu Mo shook his head, then nodded.

"Nothing major, but two people just tried to follow you. I originally wanted to kill them with a stone, but they managed to evade it. However, they also retreated."

The old horse said, "They didn't retreat, they took a detour and found us again."

"Are you two alright?"

The old horse waved his hand and said with a smile, "What could happen? They are just seeking their own death."

The young escort next to them heard this and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Uncle Ma is amazing, being able to easily kill two people while facing them alone."

"Yes! Uncle Ma is as impressive as ever! Truly strong even in old age!"

"Uncle Ma is indeed an experienced person, to be able to effortlessly kill those two people without any injuries!"

"..."

Seeing the young ones boasting next to him, the old horse felt extremely embarrassed.

He was about to defend himself when Jiang Yuan spoke up, "Thanks to Uncle Ma, otherwise I would have been in danger!"

"Oh, young master."

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head.

The old horse suddenly understood, "That's right, don't underestimate me. Even though my vitality has declined, my strength is still not weaker than before. Do those two insignificant people think they can threaten me?"

Suddenly, the old horse received waves of praise.

After everyone's enthusiasm died down, Jiang Yuan said, "Let's go, back to the city!"

"Yes, young master!"

The old horse then shouted, "Little ones, let's go, back to the city!"

In Lin'an City.

"What's going on? Why are you all running towards the city gate?"

"Something big happened! Don't you know?"

"What big thing?"

"Jiang Zhenyuan is dead, and now his son is bringing his body back to Lin'an City. They've been wearing mourning clothes all the way."

"Are you talking about Jiang Zhenyuan, the Wind Thunder Sword - Jiang Zhenyuan?"

"Who else could it be?"

"How is this possible! Isn't he one of the top experts in our Lin'an County? How could he suddenly die outside?"

"There are always people better than us. Haven't you heard of that? Those who work as escorts always carry their lives on their belts. In the end, how many of them can die a natural death?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan had already crossed the gate of Lin'an County.

Everyone from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was dressed in mourning clothes, wearing plain white robes.

On both sides of the attic, it was crowded with people at this moment.

Jiang Zhenyuan suddenly passed away, which was a huge news in Lin'an County.

At this moment, almost the entire city came to watch.

"Oh my, everyone from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is wearing mourning clothes. With so many coffins, it's not just Jiang Zhenyuan who's in trouble!"

"That's right! It seems that all the elites of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency have fallen outside."

"It's really terrifying. Jiang Zhenyuan was the top expert in our Lin'an County. He actually led the entire Zhenyuan Escort Agency to be wiped out outside."

Then someone sighed, "Ah! With Jiang Zhenyuan's passing, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is in trouble!"

"Old man, why do you say that?"

"Look!" The old man hinted, gesturing for him to look at the surrounding attic.

Only the rarely seen important figures were now appearing on the attics on both sides of the road.

There was a peculiar gleam in their eyes.

"With Jiang Zhenyuan's passing, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency has become a hot cake. Who wouldn't want to take a bite?"

"But he still has a son, Jiang Yuan! I heard he's also a talented young man."

"Haha! Talented young man! Even if he can be considered a talented young man, so what? Who will give him the time to grow?"

The old man continued, "Come and see! It won't be long before you find Jiang Yuan dead in the street, either sinking to the bottom of the river or being thrown into the wilderness."

Several people nearby heard their conversation and agreed.

"The old man is right! His future can be easily predicted. It's a pity for such a good-looking person. There are women who will be heartbroken."

"Speaking of which, his father was also outstanding back then. His appearance made all the women in Lin'an County yearn for him."

County Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Li Hong stood on the top of a high attic, overlooking the entire Lin'an County.

"Old Wu, how did Jiang Yuan get the confidence to openly announce Jiang Zhenyuan's death?"

A man dressed in all black beside him shook his head, "I don't know!"

"Do you think it's possible that his strength gave him the confidence?"

The man in black shook his head, "Not very likely! Even if he has refined the Viscera Refining Pill bestowed upon him by the Lord, at most he has just entered the marrow refining stage. This level of strength can only be considered mediocre in Lin'an County."

Li Hong nodded, "That's true!"

Then he turned and went downstairs.

"I don't feel like guessing anymore. We'll know in a few days. If he relies solely on my protection, then he deserves to die. At most, I'll avenge him afterwards and give him a decent burial."

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

As Jiang Yuan entered the gate, he saw a group of women and children with red eyes.

He rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on.

"Uncle Ma, go take care of the aftermath of our fallen brothers. Take out the remaining money in the escort agency and give it to their families for support. I'll figure out the rest of the money."

"Yes, young master!" Old Ma said.

Then Jiang Yuan turned to Gu Mo beside him.

"We can't get the Longquan Sword that was being made for you before. We can't afford the final payment, so we'll have to wait a little longer."

"It doesn't matter!"

Gu Mo held the ordinary iron sword in his hand and said, "I think this ordinary iron sword is good enough. It's the person who is powerful, not the weapon."

"I have heard that the higher realm of swordsmanship is to have no sword in hand but a sword in the heart. And further, it is to turn everything in the world into a sword. Although I can't reach that level, I can still cut through divine weapons with this iron sword."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "There's one more thing I want you to do."

"Please, young master!"

"Take my invitation and go to the major forces in the city. Invite them to attend my father's memorial ceremony in three days."

Old Ma, who was standing nearby, instantly came over.

"Young master, are you saying that we will hold a memorial ceremony for the old master in three days?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Good!" Old Ma exclaimed excitedly, "We must let the old master leave in a grand manner. The old master has achieved great success in his life. How can he silently return to the yellow springs?"
