Qinghe County, within the city.

Pingwei Escort Agency.

As the largest escort agency in Qinghe County, Pingwei Escort Agency's headquarters occupied most of the street in the east of the city.

The vermilion gate was tall and spacious, with four burly bodyguards standing guard in front of it, their eyes fierce. Passersby around them lowered their heads and hurried away, not daring to meet their gazes.

Just then, a richly decorated carriage drove up from the street corner and stopped in front of the door.

Su Hai, who was of a plump build, got off the carriage, followed by a gaunt old man.

"President Su!"

A man who looked like a manager came forward with a smile on his face.

"Is Bao Dongjia home?" Su Hai asked.

"This..." The steward looked troubled. "The master announced a period of seclusion some time ago, and I don't know exactly when he will emerge."

"Seclusion?"

Su Hai was somewhat surprised.

Bao Tian is already a fifth-level Qi Refining Realm martial artist, and the fact that he is currently in seclusion suggests that he has made further progress.

That's truly amazing!

"If Chairman Su needs anything, he can contact our young master."

The steward said, "Before the master went into seclusion, he had already entrusted all matters, large and small, to the young master."

"Alright."

Su Hai nodded.

The manager led him into the inner courtyard of the security company, into a spacious and bright hall.

A young man who looked to be around thirty years old was sitting in the main seat, his brows furrowed, looking impatiently at the account books on the table.

Beside him was an old butler with his hair neatly combed, talking about the various affairs of the escort agency.

"Uncle Su!"

Upon seeing Su Hai enter, Bao Ping, as if seeing a lifeline, immediately put down his account book and stood up to greet him.

"Uncle Su, it's been a long time! What brings you here?"

"Nephew Bao."

Su Hai cupped his hands in greeting and sat down on a chair to the side.

Seeing that Su Hai looked like he had something to discuss, Bao Ping waved his hand to dismiss the servants, leaving only the old steward, Su Hai, and the old man behind him.

"Uncle Su, is there something urgent?" Bao Ping asked directly.

Su Hai didn't mince words and said in a deep voice, "My dear nephew, you should have heard that my daughter, Su Wanqing, was unfortunately murdered outside the city a few days ago."

Bao Ping nodded.

He had heard about this from his subordinates; not only Su Wanqing, but five of their escorts had also died.

In Qinghe County, there aren't many people who dare to kill his Pingwei Escort Agency.

Therefore, he even sent someone to investigate the background of the person who did the attack.

However, the other party went straight to the police station after entering the city, and so far they haven't found anything.

Su Hai said, "The man who made the move is named Mu Yang, a minor constable from Qingxi County. I hope my nephew can capture him alive and send him to Su Family Village outside the city!"

After a moment's thought, Bao Ping said, "Uncle Su, that man is currently staying in the courtyard of Dai Wang, the head of the seventh squad of the constables. It will probably be difficult to make a move for the time being."

Although he didn't like reading or managing accounts, he wasn't without brains.

Although Dai Wang was only at the fourth level of strength, he had a special status as a member of the county constables.

Arresting people from his home—isn't that a slap in the face to the authorities?

"Don't worry, my dear nephew, I won't make things difficult for you. You can arrange the capture of Muyang yourself; I can wait."

"Besides Mu Yang, I have another request to make of you today," Su Hai said.

"Uncle Su, please speak freely."

"Although my daughter died under that constable's mace, the culprit was my wicked maid who had cheated on me. She not only used the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to collude with a fourth-level demon, but also planted that demon's offspring by my daughter's side, causing her to lose her life."

"I hope my nephew can help me capture that fourth-tier donkey demon alive and send it to the Su Family Village to quell my hatred!" As he spoke, a murderous intent flashed in Su Hai's eyes.

Mu Yang was certainly hateful, but the Third Madam, who sent his daughter a donkey demon, made him even angrier.

If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have loved to capture that fourth-tier donkey demon himself.

"That's easy to say."

Bao Ping smiled and agreed.

He didn't take a mere fourth-tier demon seriously at all.

Bao Ping is a well-known young talent in Qinghe County.

He is only thirty years old now, yet he has already reached the perfect Qi Condensation Realm.

More importantly, he had twice undergone rigorous training to strengthen his muscles and bones, and now all his internal energy had been transformed into mid-grade energy.

He could easily crush ordinary fourth-tier demons with a wave of his hand.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my dear nephew!"

As he spoke, Su Hai gave the old man behind him a look.

The old man understood and took a small wooden box out of his sleeve pocket.

"A fourth-grade precious medicine, the Crimson Blood Lingzhi!"

Bao Ping's eyes lit up.

Although the Crimson Blood Ganoderma is ranked fourth grade, its effects are extremely rare.

After taking it, it can provide a large amount of qi and blood, and also protect the meridians.

Simply put, it is a rare and precious medicine that helps a fourth-level Qi Condensation Realm martial artist break through to the fifth-level Meridian Opening Realm.

With this, he only needs to seclude himself for half a month to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm and become as proud as the Lei family's daughter of heaven.

"Uncle Su, you're too kind. You and my father have been friends for many years. How could I possibly accept your gift for such a small matter?"

Bao Ping said this, but his hands betrayed his words as he grabbed the wooden box and pulled it to his front.

"However, I dare not refuse such a gift from an elder. Since it is Uncle Su's kind intention, I would be impolite to refuse it."

Su Hai: ......

"Then I'll have to trouble you with this matter, my dear nephew."

"Sure, sure!"

........................

the other side.

Mu Yang, who had been targeted by Su Hai and Bao Ping, had just dismounted and entered the backyard of the constables' quarters.

Xue She and Dai Wang were sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing Mu Yang push the door open and enter, Xue She immediately stood up, his face filled with anticipation: "How did it go? Did it work?"

"It's done."

Mu Yang nodded and took out the black iron token from his pocket.

"I knew it!"

Xue She slapped his thigh, his face beaming with joy: "With your strength, the Demon Slayer Division's assessment will be a piece of cake!"

Who would have thought that one day Qingxi County would produce a genius who would join the Demon Slaying Division!

"Good lad!"

Dai Wang also stood up, looking Mu Yang up and down with admiration in his eyes.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Mu, you... you've broken through?"

Upon hearing this, Xue She, who was about to step forward, paused for a moment.

Breakthrough?

Mu Yang is already at the third level of the Blood Marrow Realm. If he breaks through again, wouldn't that mean...?

Qi Condensation Realm!?

How old is Muyang?

He seems to be only twenty!

Moreover, he had only been cultivating for a little over three months.

That speed...

Xue She suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

He suddenly remembered that night in Qingxi County when he and Zhou Heng were lamenting about how amazing the geniuses in the county town were, and how much resources and effort Muyang would need to catch up.

The results of it?

They've only been in the county town for two days, and they've already broken through!

Xue She's eyes held a complex expression.

There was amazement, relief, and a touch of indescribable bitterness.

The goal that he had worked hard for half his life but failed to achieve, Mu Yang accomplished so effortlessly?

The difference between people is truly... quite something.

"Just lucky."

Mu Yang smiled and once again uttered the famous saying of "Brother Lucky".

"Just lucky?"

Dai Wang's lips twitched.

In all his years of life, he had never seen anyone break through to the Qi Condensation Realm by sheer luck.

But the next second, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips as well.

"You've just broken through to the next level and entered the extremely dangerous Demon Slaying Division, so you definitely need to accumulate combat experience."

Dai Wang stretched his shoulders and said, "How about we two brothers practice? It'll also give you a better understanding of battles between Qi Condensation Realm martial artists."

What do you think?
