After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Upon hearing this, Xu Hu squinted and looked over, and indeed saw a person standing in the middle of the official road in the distance.

His expression darkened, and he looked at the young man beside him. "Luo Wu, go and see what's going on. If they're short of travel expenses or have any difficulties, please let them know."

Help if you can; everyone encounters difficulties when traveling.

"Good Le!"

Luo Wu clasped his hands in response, then squeezed his legs together, and his earth-scaled horse neighed and galloped forward at high speed.

Before long, when he was not far from the person, he did not slow down, but instead sped up even faster.

Seeing this, Xu Hu frowned and shook his head, saying, "Luo Wu is good in every way, but he is too impetuous and has no sense of reason. He wants to give people a hard time first."

"If you're not impetuous and restless, are you still a young person?"

The dark-faced man chuckled, "But Luo Wu's horsemanship is exceptional; he's quite skilled."

The person standing on the official road was none other than Qin Chuan, who had lost his way.

Judging from their attire, he knew that these people had been traveling all over the country for many years.

Although they were all at the Body Refinement Realm and their bodies showed no Xuan Power fluctuations, they must be extremely familiar with this place.

Soon, Qin Chuan saw the opposing earthen scale carriage convoy, and a rider rushed out at great speed, arriving in front of him in an instant.

Luo Wu could already see the man's face.

Upon closer inspection, the other person seemed to be younger than himself, with fair skin and delicate features, resembling a frail scholar.

But he remained calm and composed, showing no sign of being overtaken by the rapidly approaching horse, which secretly impressed him.

"Shut up!"

Luo Wu tugged on the reins, and his earth-scaled horse neighed loudly, raising its front hooves high into the air before landing close to Qin Chuan's face, narrowly avoiding a collision.

Seeing that Qin Chuan remained calm, Luo Wu's eyes flashed with surprise. He clasped his hands and said, "I am Luo Wu from Fuyuan Escort Agency in Yunmeng City. Friend, may I ask if you have encountered any difficulties?"

Yunmeng City?

Qin Chuan was taken aback, not expecting that he had flown in the wrong direction. No wonder it didn't match the markings on the map.

After glancing at the other person, Qin Chuan clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "I got lost on my way down the mountain and wanted to ask for directions to Yunmeng City. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

"be lost?"

Luo Wu was taken aback. He glanced at Qin Chuan a few times, then lingered on his temples and hands for a moment longer.

After a moment, he laughed and said, "It's easy. Yunmeng City isn't far from here. I wonder what you're going there for, brother?"

As he spoke, Luo Wu glanced at Qin Chuan a few more times.

Just then, the Earth Scale Horse Caravan approached from behind, and Xu Hu called out loudly, "Luo Wu, what's going on?"

Luo Wu turned his horse around and laughed, "Reporting to the chief镖头, it's a young man with little Xuan power who's currently asking for directions to Yunmeng City."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hu tugged on the reins and quickly approached. A glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at Qin Chuan and said in a deep voice, "Young brother, may I ask your esteemed name?"

"Hey,镖头 (镖头 is a term of respect for a镖头), I'm Qin Chuan. This is my first time traveling far from home, and I'm currently lost and don't know the way to Yunmeng City. I hope you can give me some directions!" Qin Chuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Xu Hu stared at Qin Chuan for a few moments, then suddenly said, "The Chen family has been recruiting a lot lately. Are you planning to join them?"

Qin Chuan remained calm and shook his head, saying, "No, I have relatives in Yunmeng City, and I want to go and seek refuge with them."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Xu Hu's expression softened slightly.

His words were quite meaningful. Although the Chen family was recruiting people on a large scale, the minimum requirement was that they must be experts at the Xuan Master level or above.

If the person in front of him continues speaking in accordance with his words, then the other party's background will become quite intriguing.

However, Xu Hu didn't take it to heart. He clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying warmly, "What a coincidence! We were just about to return to Yunmeng City. Meeting you is fate. Young brother, why don't you come with us?"

The reason why Xu Hu was able to get along so well in the security escort agency was...

Besides being strong in their own right, another key factor is their ability to cultivate good relationships.

His hospitality has helped many people, which has enabled him to build his current network of connections.

Qin Chuan looked grateful and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you very much, Chief Escort!"

The dark-faced man glanced at Qin Chuan and chuckled, "Kid, have you ever ridden one of these earth-scaled horses?"

"No." Qin Chuan shook his head awkwardly.

He wasn't lying about that.

Guiyun City is a small city, and very few people can ride mythical beasts.

Later, after entering the Heavenly Sword Sect, until he broke through to the Profound King Realm, he was always flying in the air and had never experienced the feeling of riding a mythical beast.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but recall the Blood Qilin inside the Blood Immortal Mask.

Presumably, once it awakens, I should be able to ride it...

"Haha...it's still a virgin!"

Qin Chuan's words immediately drew laughter from the members of the escort agency.

Xu Hu glared at the crowd, then looked at Qin Chuan and smiled, "Young brother, they mean no harm, don't take it to heart. There are always difficult times when you're traveling. Just sit in the carriage."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was about to explain that although he had never ridden one before, he would know how once they rode together.

Seeing the goodwill on Xu Hu's face, he didn't say much. He clasped his hands in thanks and climbed directly onto the carriage.

Behind him were a dense array of caravans. Qin Chuan scanned them with his divine sense and found that the carriages were all empty, so he didn't pay any attention to it and sat down cross-legged.

"Yunmeng City..."

Inside the carriage, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, a cold glint flashing in them.

He wasn't originally supposed to be here, but by some twist of fate, he ended up in Yunmeng City.

He couldn't help but think of Yan Liu from back then, and... the Yan family's secret treasure!

"Perhaps, what I'm looking for is hidden in this Yan family's secret treasure trove!" Qin Chuan murmured.

This Yan family's secret treasure seems to be related to the Star-Picking Tower; there might really be some good stuff in it.

This is why Qin Chuan decided to change his route and make a trip to Yunmeng City after he learned that he had actually arrived near Yunmeng City.

At this moment, Luo Wu pulled on the reins and came to Qin Chuan's carriage. He asked with a smile, "Brother, I don't see any Xuan power on you. You've got quite the guts to venture into this area full of bandits."

Qin Chuan sighed and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Our luggage was all stolen on the way..."

Luo Wu was taken aback and looked at Qin Chuan's hands, which were indeed empty; there was no storage ring present.

Seeing this, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes, and he comforted her, "It's good that you're alive. These days, things are getting more and more unstable..."

As they were talking, Qin Chuan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the jungle not far away.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed two figures hidden among the convoy, watching it intently.

After the earth-scaled horse caravan passed through the jungle without the two men making a move, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment but didn't take it to heart.

After a day's journey, the sun was setting and night was falling.

Xu Hu shouted from the front, "Brothers, we'll be able to enter Yunmeng City tomorrow. The boss will definitely send someone to pick us up then."

We can't find a place to stay today, so we brothers will have to make do for the night in the wilderness.

"Let's hurry on our way tomorrow morning. I'll take you to Miaoyinfang and find a few young ladies to have some fun with!"
