Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 9: Leaving the City

Heifeng Village.

At this moment, the village was brightly lit, filled with bustling voices, and presented a scene of chaotic dancing demons.

Leizhan raised his wine glass and said, "Big brother, come, let's drink! Congratulations on your recovery from your injuries and returning to the ninth level of Body Tempering."

The bald man beside him burst into laughter.

"It's all thanks to Jiang Zhenyuan! Without him, I don't know how long it would have taken for me to recover from my injuries!"

Then he turned to the people below and said, "Today, I'm happy. Let's not go back until we're drunk."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Cheers of excitement immediately erupted from the people below.

Leizhan regretfully said, "If I had known that big brother would recover from his injuries, I should have asked that kid for more silver and improved the food for our brothers."

The bald man waved his hand and said, "Money is just an external thing. As long as it's enough, it's fine. Hoarding it all for oneself is not a sustainable way. Besides, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Even in a small place like Lin'an County, there may be stronger existences than me."

"You're right, big brother!"

Leizhan agreed, then raised his glass again and said, "Here's to big brother's successful breakthrough after recovery, becoming a member of the Immortal Family, and leading our brothers to enjoy the good life."

"Of course!" The bald man laughed heartily. "Let's continue to enjoy ourselves here with our brothers. Looking back on the past twenty years, it was really suffocating and boring!"

Leizhan nodded and echoed, "Big brother! Following rules and regulations is not as enjoyable as doing whatever we want!"

The next day.

The bustling noise of the early market in Lin'an County had just begun.

The large gate made of mysterious iron at Zhenyuan Escort Agency slowly opened.

The attention of the crowd was once again drawn to the resounding opening of the gate.

"What is that?" someone exclaimed.

"Why are there so many coffins? What is Zhenyuan Escort Agency planning to do?"

At this moment.

Old Ma sat on the carriage and asked softly, "Young master, isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

"Without coffins, how can we transport my father's body back? How can we transport the bodies of the brothers from the escort agency?" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"Let's set off!"

He closed his eyes.

As Jiang Yuan gave the order, several young escorts raised their whips and drove the carriages towards the city gate.

At the same time, this news quickly spread to various forces in Lin'an County.

Half an incense stick's worth of time later.

At the city gate.

Jiang Yuan sat on the carriage with his eyes slightly closed, holding a sword in his hands.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

The carriage abruptly stopped.

In an instant, the angry voice of Old Ma rang in his ears.

"Jia Wandao, what are you trying to do?"

Jia Wandao stood in front of the carriage, squinting his eyes, and with a kind face, he said, "I'm just here to show concern for my nephew! Everyone outside says that Brother Zhenyuan has met with misfortune. I heard the news and couldn't believe it, so I came to see my nephew, hoping that nothing bad has happened to him."

"Bullshit! Where did you hear these rumors? My boss has unparalleled skills. How could anything happen to him?" Old Ma scolded angrily.

"Then what's this?" Jia Wandao looked at the coffins in front of him, implying something, and smiled.

At the same time, Jia Wandao's information appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind.

Jia Wandao, a wealthy man in Lin'an County, is involved in all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

He is short in stature, naturally wearing a smile, and has an extremely kind face.

He naturally possesses a strong deceitful nature and is known as the Smiling Tiger in the martial world. Most people are wary of him.

But among those people, Jiang Zhenyuan is not included.

In the entire Lin'an County, there are only a few people who can be regarded by Jiang Zhenyuan. Each one of them possesses extraordinary strength and can make Lin'an County tremble. Naturally, Jia Wandao is not one of them.

Jia Wandao's cultivation level is only at the sixth stage of Body Tempering. He relies on his immense wealth to recruit several experts at the seventh stage of Body Tempering. However, his own strength is limited, and he still cannot rank among the top in Lin'an County.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Step aside!"

"Nephew, why do you have to be so heartless? In the current situation, it is extremely dangerous for you to leave the city. I have brought several skilled individuals to serve you and ensure your safety."

After speaking, he leaned in.

"Is it true that the rumors are correct? Is this coffin for the collection of Brother Zhenyuan's remains?"

Jiang Yuan remained silent, his gaze coldly fixed on him.

Jia Wandao, who had been smiling, suddenly froze.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of impending danger.

This sense of danger was unprecedentedly intense.

It was his innate talent, an extremely sensitive instinct for danger.

This innate perception had saved his life countless times before.

At this moment, he once again felt this long-lost vigilance.

The threat of death was imminent.

In the next moment, he quickly retreated, instantly blending into the crowd.

He smirked and said, "Since my nephew doesn't need it, then forget it!"

After saying these words, he instantly lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd with his small stature.

At the same time, among the crowd.

Someone gritted their teeth and said, "What is Jia Wandao doing? Why did he retreat at such a critical moment? Although the assets of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau have been handed over to the county lord, he still possesses the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique! This sword technique is extraordinary."

On the city wall, a burly man in brass armor stroked his chin and said, "Interesting. Jiang Zhenyuan's son actually made Jia Wandao feel fear."

"General, are you saying that Jia Wandao was scared off by Jiang Zhenyuan's son?"

The burly man nodded slightly. "That's right! I saw it clearly. He was scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweat just now. It is said that Jia Wandao has an extraordinary talent, able to sense the arrival of danger. His actions just now clearly indicate that he sensed a great crisis."

"This is somewhat unbelievable!"

"Indeed, it is unbelievable! Jia Wandao may be short and fat, but he is not weak. He is also a skilled individual at the sixth stage of Body Tempering!"

The burly man in armor also agreed.

Below.

Seeing Jia Wandao retreat, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes. "Let's go!"

"Yes, young master!"

Old Ma responded and then urged the horse carriage towards the city gate.

After a while, Jiang Yuan and the other two moved further away.

On the city wall.

"General, why do you think they left the city?"

"To collect the body!"

"What? Did something really happen to Jiang Zhenyuan?"

"No need for nonsense, didn't you see that the county lord's men took over Zhenyuan Escort Bureau's assets yesterday?"

After speaking, the general in armor jumped down from the city gate.

"Stop right there! The county lord has ordered that none of you are allowed to leave the city for the next two days!"

"Why?"

"Why?" The general showed his white teeth. "Because of my strength! If anyone dares to secretly leave the city in these two days, I will personally attack your lair!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd deflated.

This city defense general was at the eighth stage of Body Tempering, a powerful expert at the Nurturing Spirit realm.

There were only a few in Lin'an County who could match him.

No one dared to disregard the words of such a person.
