Immortal Way Retrograde

Chapter 1 Liubo Mountain, Junluo
It's the deep spring season, and the weather is gradually getting hotter, and only the early morning can capture a slight coolness.Although the vegetation has not reached the level of luxuriant branches and leaves, it has already faintly permeated with lush greenery.

Early mornings in the suburbs of Jingcheng are always extraordinarily quiet. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by in twos and threes, and they all look in a hurry, obviously busy with their own trivial matters in life.

At this time, a carriage rolled over slowly, leaving traces of the wheels along the way.From time to time, the yelling of the driver can be heard from the carriage.

The sound gradually faded away as it went deeper into the forest. At the same time, two figures also followed the carriage, turned over and disappeared into the forest, leaving only red and black afterimages. The pedestrians passing by were a little stunned, as if they were just hallucinating from vertigo.

But soon such a change was left behind by them, and they pulled back their thoughts again, and devoted themselves to what they should be doing...

……

The two figures moved extremely fast, and they caught up with the carriage in a short while, but they hid their figures among the tall trees and never let the other party notice.

It wasn't until the carriage reached a deep enough area that the coachman finally stopped the carriage.

While observing the surrounding environment, the coachman whispered to the people in the car, "Here, it should be fine here."

As soon as the words fell, a girl in a gray-green dress and a double ring bun jumped out of the car.

The girl was holding a cloth bag in her hand, which was bulging, but it didn't seem to be very heavy.

"Have you observed it? No one followed?"

The coachman shook his head, "No, but the carriage can't pass any further, we'd better walk a little further..."

The girl frowned, "Isn't it okay here?"

"After all, it is considered an official road. It is a bit too eye-catching here, and if it takes longer, there may be other carriages passing by. It would be bad to be discovered."

The girl's face seemed a bit reluctant, but she seemed to have many concerns because of something, "Okay, you lead the way..."

The two started to walk towards the forest, and at the same time, the other two figures rushed in with a 'whoosh' sound.

……

After walking for a while, the driver and the girl finally stopped.

The girl didn't say much, and together with the coachman, she found some hay nearby and dropped it, and then lit the hay with a torch.

It didn't take long for the fire to rise, and the girl threw the cloth bag directly into the flames, and was soon completely swallowed by the flames...

Seeing that the two of them were almost burning, the coachman raised his sleeve robe at the right time and spilled a large amount of white powder. The fire diminished almost instantly, and then it was completely extinguished in less than three breaths.

Then the coachman and the girl left.

And the two who had been secretly following the coachman and the girl jumped down from the tree.

The first to jump down was a girl in red who looked about fourteen or five years old. The girl had delicate features, skin like creamy fat, and a pair of eyes that were as bright as glass.

At this time, she was staring at the pile of ashes in front of her with those beautiful eyes...

"Tsk, you said that the servants of the Huo family are always sneaky in their work, and they burned something..."

Another black figure also came down from the tree. It was a tough man with a deep outline and a pair of sharp sword eyebrows. When he was not smiling, he looked really stern, and he knew what he was talking about at a glance. Not many people.

As expected, the girl in red didn't get any effective information from the man in black, but perhaps she was already used to the man's style, and she didn't have much hope.

The red-clothed girl kicked the ashes with her feet, and sure enough there were still some that hadn't been completely burned.

With some disgust, she picked up two pieces of paper that looked like paper, "What is this? There seems to be words on it..."

Looking at it, she couldn't help but think wildly, "You don't think this is evidence that the Huo family intends to rebel."

On the usually expressionless face of the man in black, the corners of his lips twitched in a rare way.

"Jun Luo, you are too curious, this is not our task."

The red-clothed girl waved her hand, "Didn't we meet someone related to the mission? Let's take a look, it can be regarded as learning more..."

"You are making excuses for your playfulness."

"Tsk, don't you already know? But what can you do if you know, why don't you just accompany me on this trip?"

Helplessness flashed in the eyes of the man in black, "This task is not too difficult, finish it quickly, and we can go back to report earlier."

"Return to life, is the only thing left in your mind is the task?" Jun Luo shook the piece of paper in his hand while talking, "You don't want to know what the Huo family wants to do? Maybe, their family What a big secret is hidden..."

The man in black said coldly, "No, I'm not interested in prying into other people's secrets."

"Yueying, you are really boring." After finishing speaking, Jun Luo stepped out with the scrap of paper in his hand first.

On the contrary, the man in black named Yue Ying, after Jun Luo turned around, stared at the shredded paper twice...

……

Because of Jun Luo's delay, the two of them entered the city two hours later than expected.

When they entered the city, the sky was already bright, and the number of people in front of the city gate began to increase...

It is not difficult to see that most of the people entering and exiting this city gate are merchants and peddlers, because before they have fully entered the city, the two of them have already heard shouts from all over the street.

Pedestrians flocked endlessly, and vendors shouted one after another, it seemed that it was really lively.

Although it is not the first time for Jun Luo to come to such a city, every time he encounters such a grand occasion, he still can't help sighing, "Compared to the cities in our country, it is really much more lively."

Moon Shadow said softly, "Where our population base is, it is doomed that there will not be many such lively cities."

The voices of the two people were not too loud, and they deliberately lowered their voices, so they were almost easily covered by the noise in the neighborhood.

Little did they know that when they passed by a tea stand, their conversation was still clearly caught by one person.

……

When Jun Luo and Yue Ying arrived at Huo Mansion, it was already scorching sun.

But even so, the host and hostess of the Huo family came out to welcome the two of them in person.

Because of the abundance of life, the male host is quite rich, and seeing Jun Luo and Yue Ying, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

The host, Huo Mang, didn't seem to care about etiquette, but Jun Luo and Yue Ying had to talk about it.

"Liubo Mountain, Tianjin Sect, Junluo."

"Liubo Mountain, Sky Ember Sect, Moon Shadow."
