Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 25: Three Days Later, Sunset Sect

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

It was still before noon when one luxurious carriage after another appeared outside the escort agency, slowly coming to a stop.

Soon, elegantly dressed individuals stepped down from the carriages, each carrying a bouquet of white flowers.

Any one of these people, if they were to stomp their feet, could make the entire Lin'an County tremble.

Among them were the heads of the four major trading firms, the masters of various martial arts schools, and the chiefs of various clans.

Since the events of a few days ago, even though they were filled with doubts and confusion, they no longer dared to underestimate the current Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Although Jiang Zhenyuan had passed away, now that Jiang Yuan had taken over, the entire Zhenyuan Escort Agency had become even more mysterious.

The events of these past few days were too strange, one after another.

Three days had passed.

Li Hao, the master of the Divine Might Martial Hall, had not received any news about him since that night he appeared at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world.

Some said that Li Hao had died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency that night, otherwise there would be no reason for the lack of news about him.

But no one believed this claim.

Li Hao was already one of the top experts in the Eighth Stage of Body Tempering. To defeat him and prevent him from escaping, one would need to be a superior expert who had achieved the unity of spirit and energy.

Otherwise, even if he was defeated, he could easily retreat.

However, there were very few experts who had reached the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering and achieved the unity of spirit and energy.

Before that night, there hadn't been a single strong person in the entire Lin'an County who had reached the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering for more than ten years.

If it weren't for Li Hong's confidant suddenly making a move and revealing his true strength...

A top expert in the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering, who had achieved the unity of spirit and energy.

This situation would continue.

From this, one could imagine how few experts there were at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering.

After all, Lin'an County was just a small county, insignificant compared to the Great Li Prefecture.

There had been extraordinary geniuses who had emerged, but they quickly left and soared to greater heights.

In such a small place, any genius who stayed here would be a waste of talent.

After all, shallow waters cannot raise a true dragon.

Without such top experts making a move, Li Hao would not have died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Moreover, when such experts made a move, their aura was extremely powerful, like a blazing sun in the dark night.

How could they not be sensed?

But even so, everyone knew that Li Hao, even if he hadn't died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, must have been seriously injured.

Otherwise, with his temperament, after three days had passed, he would not have refrained from seeking revenge.

It must be noted that his only son had died a tragic death that night.

He had been shot by an arrow from the confidant of the County Lord, torn into pieces, not even leaving behind a complete corpse.

His wife, as well as other relatives, were now imprisoned.

With such deep-seated enmity, not to mention Li Hong, even the Zhenyuan Escort Agency would suffer his brutal revenge.

But in these three days, it was as if nothing had happened. Lin'an County remained calm and peaceful.

The only thing that caused a slight disturbance was related to the Wanmin Trading Firm.

Jiang Yuan had personally visited the Wanmin Trading Firm, and almost no one knew what had happened.

But afterwards, many people saw the Wanmin Trading Firm sending two boxes of silver to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency overnight.

Coupled with the fact that Jiang Yuan entered the Wanmin Trading Firm during the day, and after he left, the Wanmin Trading Firm hastily sold off several high-quality assets.

Who wouldn't guess that this matter was related to Jiang Yuan?

After their various inquiries, they finally pried open the mouth of a key informant from the Wanmin Trading Firm.

When they learned that on that day, Gu Mo, the Swift Blade, had beheaded the Wanmin Trading Firm's Grand Arch Guardian with a single sword...

This news shocked everyone into speechlessness.

No one expected that Gu Mo, the Swift Blade, would hide so deeply.

Known for his swordsmanship, his swordsmanship is extraordinary, capable of killing the Grand Offering of the Body Tempering Eighth Layer of the Wanjing Merchant Guild with a single sword.

This record is too terrifying!

Although this Grand Offering is now old and weakened, his vitality and blood have declined, no longer possessing the might of his youth.

Although the old tiger is old, his power is still there.

If he were to go all out, who would dare to say they could fight him and remain undefeated, except for those of the same level?

Yet Gu Mo was able to kill him with a single sword, surpassing the strength of the Body Tempering Seventh Layer, making him invincible in the same realm!

He can now contend with a normal Body Tempering Eighth Layer expert.

After learning about this series of news, they dare not disrespect Jiang Yuan.

With Gu Mo's current performance, he will undoubtedly reach the Body Tempering Eighth Layer in the future, and the Ninth Layer is not out of the question.

He even has the hope of becoming an immortal-like existence.

His talent displayed at this moment can be ranked in the top ten in the history of Lin'an County.

Among those people, there have been immortals with lifespans far exceeding that of ordinary people!

Just as everyone orderly walked into the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, preparing to offer flowers to Jiang Zhenyuan's portrait, a loud cry suddenly came from behind: "The County Lord has arrived!"

The County Lord?

Everyone was shocked and quickly turned their heads to look.

They saw a luxurious sedan slowly stopping at the entrance of the escort agency.

A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, seemingly refined and amiable, pushed aside the curtain of the sedan and stepped out.

Beside him, a man in black followed closely.

A strong bow was placed on the black-clad man's back.

At the moment they saw the two, everyone's eyes were filled with fear.

The only peak expert of the Body Tempering Ninth Layer in Lin'an County was here, and an invisible pressure suddenly arose in everyone's hearts.

Then they all stepped back and made way for them.

"We pay our respects to the County Lord!" everyone said.

Li Hong nodded slightly and then walked straight into the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

When he entered the courtyard and saw Jiang Yuan, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

His blood was surging, his aura was vigorous, and his heart was beating like a drum.

These were clearly symptoms of a blood exchange level breakthrough.

He actually broke through twice in such a short period of time. What kind of opportunity did he encounter, or did he tap into his own talent?

While he was pondering, Jiang Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, County Lord!"

Li Hong also smiled and nodded.

"It's been a while, I didn't expect your strength to improve so rapidly. It truly surprises me," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Jiang Yuan was surprised, "County Lord, did you notice?"

"Of course!" Li Hong smiled and said, "Don't underestimate my strength. My realm might surprise you!"

Then, he suddenly became serious and said, "Jiang Yuan, do you want to join a sect of immortals?"

"A sect of immortals?" Jiang Yuan was astonished, "County Lord, are you referring to the immortal sects mentioned in mortal tales?"

"That's right!"

Li Hong nodded slightly and continued, "If you're interested, I will consult my sect and someone will come to verify if you are qualified to join my sect, the Sunset Sect!"

He looked deeply at Jiang Yuan and said, "Lin'an County is also the territory of my Sunset Sect."

Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation, "I'm interested, but I still have some matters to attend to."

"No rush, I will consult the sect, but it will take some time. Even if you pass, you can choose a suitable time to join the sect."

"Then I leave it to you, County Lord!"

Jiang Yuan said.
