Black Crow Ridge.

"This is it. When we were about to leave this mountain, we were ambushed by the leader of the Black Wind Village and a mysterious person."

Gu Mo said to the front.

Old Ma was still confused at this time, so he said, "For so many years, the leader of the Black Wind Village and the old boss have kept their distance from each other. Why did they suddenly rob the escort of the old boss this time? The strength of the old boss is known to everyone. He is not afraid that the old boss will drag him down before he dies."

Jiang Yuan said: "There is only one explanation, that is, the thing my father escorted this time made him excited, or the mysterious man proposed a condition that made him excited."

Gu Mo nodded: "That's true. When we accepted the escort that day, the owner paid the price of our heartbeat."

"What's the price?"

"The deposit is 100 taels of gold, and 1,000 taels of gold will be paid after delivery."

"Hiss!" Old Ma took a deep breath. "So generous? A thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver. What is in this small brocade box that is worth the price?"

"Is there something fishy here?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.

Gu Mo thought about it, then shook his head: "Probably not. The master has been around the world escorting countless escorts and is very experienced. Someone once asked him the same question, and he said there was no problem."

Jiang Yuan nodded and believed in Jiang Zhenyuan's judgment.

He has been in the world for so many years, and his experience must be much richer than mine, and his thoughts are far more thoughtful than mine.

What's more, he has personal experience, so his judgment is definitely more accurate than your own imagination.

Jiang Yuan then asked, "Do you know what my father is transporting?"

Gu Mo shook his head: "I don't know, we have never opened the brocade box. As a bodyguard, we cannot spy on the customer's goods without permission. This is an iron rule!"

Jiang Yuan touched the brocade box on his body, and suddenly felt curious.

After thinking about it, he gave up again.

It's not necessary.

Moreover, for this escort mission, I have to deliver the goods to the door myself.

Otherwise, what about the pensions for the twenty or so escort brothers who died here? Those escorts are the backbone of their families. Maybe their whole family depends on him to support the family.

Now he has followed Jiang Zhenyuan and died here, without adequate compensation.

It is conceivable that many tragic things will happen.

Since you have accepted this cause and effect, you must understand it thoroughly.

Then Jiang Yuan said, "Let's go! Go into the mountains and bring their bodies back to Lin'an County, so that their souls can return to their hometowns and their roots."

Just at this moment.

Gu Mo suddenly said, "Young Master, there are some people following us!"

"Don't worry about them. It won't be long before the whole city knows about my father's accident! Just leave them alone if they don't come and commit suicide."

"yes!"

Jiang Yuan and the other two entered the forest.

Several masked figures suddenly appeared in the open space here.

Someone looked up and said, "Black Crow Ridge? This is the only way Jiang Zhenyuan must pass. It seems that Jiang Zhenyuan may have really failed here."

"There's no point in guessing. Just follow us in and we'll know!"

"Which faction does this brother belong to?"

"Shenwei Wuguan!"

Haha! Don’t believe me! I am from the Shenwei Martial Arts School.

The man thought secretly.

As soon as Jiang Yuan and others entered Black Crow Ridge, the light suddenly dimmed.

From time to time, the shrill cries of black crows could be heard, which made people shudder.

"This place is obviously a dangerous place. Why would the old boss choose this road?"

Old Ma muttered.

"This is the only way!" said Gu Mo.

A moment later.

Old Ma looked ahead with red eyes.

Within a hundred meters ahead, there were mutilated corpses lying in all directions.

Since they are all martial artists, they have extraordinary strength.

Even though they had been dead for several days, they still had a strong evil aura about them, and the black crows hovering around them only dared to test them repeatedly.

There was one corpse in particular. Even though it had been dead for many days, no black crow dared to approach it.

The next moment.

Lao Ma took a deep breath and opened his throat forward.

"roar!"

A roar.

Then, Lao Ma walked over.

He stroked their faces one by one, his lips moving slightly as if he was silently chanting their names.

Jiang Yuan couldn't understand what Lao Ma was feeling at this moment, but he could understand it.

Among these people, there are some young experts who even Lao Ma watched grow up step by step.

To Lao Ma, some are brothers and some are father and son.

He has been alone for most of his life, and these people are his closest relatives.

far away.

Someone was standing on a tree branch and his expression froze when he saw this scene.

"Sure enough, Jiang Zhenyuan is in trouble. It seems that all the best players of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency are buried here!"

Below, someone was approaching slowly with a strange figure.

"What is he going to do?" someone asked behind him.

"I guess he went to confirm whether Jiang Zhenyuan was among the bodies. We were so far away that we couldn't see his face clearly."

The other side.

Jiang Yuan felt the masked man approaching from behind and frowned slightly.

After a moment, Jiang Yuan said, "Gumo, do it!"

"yes!"

The words haven't finished yet.

Gu Mo's figure seemed to turn into a gust of wind, rushing towards the person behind him.

not good!

The man felt the fierce murderous intent from Gu Mo, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly stepped back.

But the next moment.

He pulled out a black iron stick from the black cloth behind him, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Gumo.

"The Divine Power Stick! It seems that he is from the Divine Power Martial Arts School!" someone commented in the distance.

The other person's face was suddenly filled with embarrassment, because he had just pretended to be a member of the Shenwei Martial Arts School in front of this person.

Fortunately, his face was covered with a black scarf, so no one could see his expression.

Someone was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't the man from Shenwei Martial Arts School flee, but chose to fight Gumo head-on? Gumo the Quick Blade is a master at the seventh level of body forging and blood training, how can he, who is only at the sixth level, be Gumo's opponent?"

Then he said, "No! How come the Swift Blade Gumo is holding an ordinary iron sword? Did he abandon the knife and practice sword?"

"How is that possible?" Someone sneered, "Everyone knows that Gu Mo of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is an outstanding swordsman and extremely talented. How could such a master of swordsmanship give up the sword and practice swordsmanship?"

"As for why he didn't run away, didn't you notice that the speeds of the two of them were very different? If he runs away with his back exposed, he will only die faster!"

Just as these people were discussing.

Suddenly a scream was heard from the distance.

"How is this possible!" someone looked shocked.

I saw the man from Shenwei Martial Arts School in the distance lying straight on the ground with blood spurting from his neck.

"What's going on? Did any of you see clearly?"

The man said with a bewildered look on his face.

"I only saw a flash of sword light, and the man from Shenwei Martial Arts School was beheaded along with his stick by the sword." The person nearby swallowed and answered.

"How is this possible? Killing a sixth-level body forging expert with one sword, are you kidding me? When did Gu Mo become so terrifying? Moreover, he didn't use the sword he was good at, but just an ordinary iron sword. How could he cut off the standard Shenwei stick of Shenwei Martial Arts School with one sword?"

Faced with this person's doubts, no one could give an answer at this time.

They were still in a state of confusion, as the scene before them was far beyond their expectations.

They could imagine that this person was no match for Gu Mo. The advantage of a seventh-level body forging versus a sixth-level body forging was too great.

But no one expected that the man couldn't even last one round and was killed instantly by his sword.

at the same time.

Gu Mo said from a distance: "My young master said that anyone who dares to come close will be killed without mercy!"

As the last three words came out, everyone felt a chill down their necks.

The strongest person who can come here is at the sixth level of Body Tempering Realm.

With the lessons learned from the past, who would dare not take his words to heart?

Gu Mo was able to kill the man from the Shenwei Martial Arts School with one sword, and it didn’t take much effort to kill them.

In the distance, Gu Mo glanced coldly at the people in the distance.

After confirming that they dared not make any more unusual movements, he turned around and went back.
