At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

What's going on up ahead?

Xue She frowned and reined in his horse.

"We'll know once we go and see," Mu Yang said.

The two rode forward and soon saw the source of the noise.

In the middle of the official road, a rather luxurious carriage was parked.

The carriage was pulled by four pure white Tier 1 steeds. The carriage was made of the finest sandalwood, and crystal-clear glass and jade beads hung on the curtains on both sides, sparkling dazzlingly in the sunlight.

It's obvious at a glance that the passengers are either rich or noble.

Around the carriage were five men on horseback.

They were all burly men, dressed in short jackets with front openings, swords at their waists, and the character "威" (wei, meaning power or prestige) embroidered on the chest of their clothes.

"Pingwei Escort Agency?"

Xue She's eyes narrowed, then he pulled Mu Yang aside and whispered, "See the 'Wei' character on their chests? This is the Pingwei Escort Agency, the 'Lu Biao He Gang' I told you about."

Pingwei Escort Agency is the largest and most famous escort agency in Qinghe County.

Throughout Qinghe County, as long as the Pingwei Escort Agency takes on a job, there are basically no accidents.

Whether it's official or underworld figures, anyone who's in Qinghe County will generally give them face.

On the one hand, it was because Pingwei Escort Agency had a large number of people and escorts; on the other hand, it was because the founder of the agency, Bao Tian, ​​was a fifth-level Qi Refining Realm martial artist.

"I wonder which family's brat dares to stop the Pingwei Escort Agency. He's got some nerve," Xue She muttered to himself, glancing at the young man standing alone in front of the carriage.

"They're most likely people the Pingwei Escort Agency doesn't want to mess with."

Mu Yang looked at the young man and analyzed the situation in his mind.

The young man was dressed in white, with a handsome appearance and a gentle demeanor. He held an ancient compass in his hand and had a rather serious expression.

Mingming stopped the carriage, preventing it from moving forward.

But none of the Pingwei Escort Agency members drew their swords; only one person, who seemed to be the leader, was talking impatiently.

"Young Master Lei, I've said it so many times, there's only Miss Su and her servant in the car, there's no demon at all!"

"Please, Young Master Lei, don't speak nonsense!" the leading bodyguard said impatiently.

"No!"

The young man in white, referred to as "Young Master Lei," shook his head and said in a calm but firm tone:

"Your carriage must be hiding a demon. The book 'Da Jing Lu' says that demons devour people and are a great scourge! How can we martial artists let them go unpunished!"

"Besides, I'm not talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, he held up the compass in his hand: "This object was forged by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Hall of the Demon Slayer Bureau. It is called the Demon-Finding Compass. It can pinpoint the location of demons within a one-mile radius. The direction the pointer is pointing is right behind this carriage!"

"Please, Chief Escort Li, get out of my way immediately and don't block my way!"

Seeing Lei Sai's insistence, Li Biao Tou clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger.

He had long heard that the young master of the Lei family was stubborn and loved to meddle in other people's business, and seeing him today, he found it to be true.

If it weren't for the Lei family behind the other party, he would have already taken action.

Li, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said:

"Young Master Lei, I'll say it again: when we at Pingwei Escort Agency escort goods, we only care about the destination. As for what's being delivered or why, we don't need to know, and we don't want to know!"

"Please, for the sake of the Bao family, stop causing trouble!"

Chief镖师 Li issued an ultimatum.

If Rese remains obstinate, they will have no choice but to knock him unconscious and send him back to the city.

"I am naturally aware of the rules of Pingwei Escort Agency, so please ask Chief Escort Li to pull back the curtain. If I have misjudged, I am willing to apologize to Miss Su and everyone in person!" Lei Sai said loudly, his eyes sharp.

"you!"

When Li Biaotou saw that Lei Sai was unyielding, he became furious.

The four bodyguards around were also furious, and one of them, a burly man with a scar on his forehead, took his anger out on the onlookers.

"What are you all looking at? Get the hell out of here! My knife doesn't have eyes!"

His shout caused many passersby to hurry away, fearing they would be implicated.

Lei Sai frowned, but said nothing.

It's better to disperse the crowd, so that someone won't be accidentally injured by the monster if a fight breaks out later.

"And you two constables, what are you standing there for!"

The scarred bodyguard drew his long sword, pointed at Mu Yang and Xue She who were still standing not far away, and said in a menacing tone, "Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Seeing that he was being implicated, Xue She quickly took the reins and prepared to take Mu Yang away.

To his surprise, just as he turned his head, he saw a dark shadow suddenly leap into the air and shoot away.

The dark figure was none other than Mu Yang, who had just been on horseback.

"Clang!!"

A loud, booming sound was heard as metal was drawn from its sheath.

The heavy, black, four-sided mace was now firmly in Mu Yang's hand.

Like a dragon emerging from the sea, accompanied by a terrifying howling wind, it struck directly at the face of the scarred, burly man.

The scarred bodyguard was clearly unprepared for this scene. He hastily raised his right hand, which was holding a knife, in an attempt to intercept the incoming black gold four-sided mace.

"clang--!!!"

Under the incredulous gazes of Xue She, Lei Sai, and Li Biao Tou, the black gold four-sided mace smashed the long sword in the scarred镖师's hand to pieces, as if it were a heavy hammer shattering stone.

Then, the long mace continued its momentum, swinging towards the scarred bodyguard's head!

"Bang!!!"

The scarred bodyguard, who had just been cursing loudly, was instantly torn to pieces like a watermelon hit by a heavy hammer, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The surrounding noise stopped abruptly.

Everyone was stunned.

Only Xue She shook his head helplessly.

Why did you have to mess with Mu Yang, this god of death?

Now look what happened, all that boasting has led to his death.

"You...you constable, how dare you kill someone from our Pingwei Escort Agency!"

The leader, Li, reacted with shock and anger, pointing at Mu Yang and shouting sternly.

Mu Yang simply flicked away the bits of flesh from the black gold four-sided mace and said calmly, "The demon deserves to die, and those who harbor demons also deserve to die."

"Nonsense! The person sitting in this carriage is Su Wanqing, the young lady of the Eight Directions Merchant Guild. What kind of demon is this? You're asking for trouble!"

Li, the镖头 (bodyguard), drew his long sword from his waist, and his blood and qi, at the peak of the third-order Blood Marrow Realm, circulated on his body.

It can only be said that Pingwei Escort Agency truly lives up to its reputation as the largest escort agency in Qinghe County; any one of its escort leaders possesses strength even greater than Xue She's.

Even the bodyguard who was just killed by Mu Yang with a single blow had the strength of the early stage of the third-order Blood Marrow Realm.

"Whether it exists or not, you'll find out by trying."

As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, he suddenly activated the Light Body Three Breaths technique.

With a single step, he darted to the top of the carriage.

The Thirty-Six Mace Techniques - Dragon's Tail Swing!

Mu Yang lowered his waist and twisted his body, his right arm swung out like an iron whip, and the black gold four-sided mace in his hand struck the roof of the carriage from the side with lightning speed and immense force.

With a loud "bang," the roof of the carriage instantly shattered into pieces.
