Chapter 1009: Chapter 539: The Black Mountain Reveals the Palace

"Look at them, even when they talk, they avoid people, who knows what they’re scheming, clearly they’re guarding against us!"

He didn’t mention any names, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

"Hey, keep your voice down!"

An older Escort Master nearby quickly advised, "Those are important figures, we just work hard to earn a living, we can’t afford to offend them."

"Exactly, it’s better not to get involved in the affairs of big shots."

Another one shook his head and said, "It’s almost the end of the year, I’d rather leave soon, head back to Chengdu to collect the earnings and let my family have a comfortable New Year’s."

With these words, everyone started complaining.

"Who doesn’t think so?"

"We agreed to stay for just one day, but it’s been delayed for several days now, do they mean for us to spend New Year’s here?"

"New Year’s?!"

An Escort Master, nicknamed Third Brother, sneered, "What wishful thinking, we’ve offended the Chengdu underworld and the Shu Prince Mansion this time. It’s none of our business, why get involved in such troubles!"

"If things go wrong, we might all die here!"

With these words, the Escort Masters fell into silence.

Though they were disciples of the Huangling Sect, they were just ordinary people, working hard to master Martial Arts, only to make a living.

This matter had nothing to do with them.

Only a fool would want to stay here and risk their life.

Bang!

The more Third Brother thought, the angrier he got, he slammed the table hard, "I’ve had enough, I’m going to tell the Leader, we have to leave tomorrow!"

"I’m going!"

"I’ll go too!"

The Escort Masters were already unhappy, and seeing someone taking the lead, coupled with having had some drinks, they immediately stood up collectively.

The courtyard was originally not big, with their shouting and noise, other Escort Masters and Coachmen nearby also gathered around.

They went outside Wang Tianzuo’s room.

Wang Tianzuo had just taken some medicine with the help of his disciples, seeing the situation, he quickly got up, went outside, and his face turned gloomy, "What are you doing?"

"Greetings, Leader."

Everyone quickly cupped their hands in salute.

Wang Tianzuo was quite prestigious, and others lost their courage, but Third Brother, with his fiery temper, spoke directly: "Leader, this matter has nothing to do with us, why should you get involved? How about we leave tomorrow?"

"The brothers are all waiting to celebrate New Year’s!"

With these words, everyone turned to Wang Tianzuo.

Wang Tianzuo looked troubled with the situation.

He helped Sha Lifei and the others, partly out of martial chivalry, partly to make some friends, and also because after Old Black Lu’s death, he had to do something.

But as the leader, bringing these brothers safely back to Chengdu was more important.

With such a commotion, Wang Daoxuan and the others also came out.

Seeing the internal conflict at the escort agency, Sha Lifei smiled slightly, cupped his fists, and said, "You guys are right, it’s our fault, Old Brother Wang, don’t worry about leaving tomorrow, we’ll handle that matter."

He was referring to avenging Old Black Lu.

"This..."

Wang Tianzuo looked embarrassed, sighed, and cupped his hands slightly, "Young Brother Sha, I’ll shamelessly trouble you."

Sha Lifei and the others didn’t even know Old Black Lu, saying they were avenging him was entirely to take on the cause and effect for him.

The Escort Masters might not understand, but how could he not know.

With things cleared up, a storm was averted.

The Escort Masters were excited to be able to go home, packed their bags overnight, just waiting to depart early the next morning.

As for Sha Lifei and the others, they also went back to their separate rooms to sleep.

To be honest, with the people from Shunyuan Escort Agency gone, they felt more at ease.

Unbeknownst to them, it was already late at night.

In his sleep, Lv San suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over, picked up the nearby Bone Flower, quietly went to the window, and gently lifted it open.

In the moonlight, several heads slowly appeared over the courtyard wall.

Their faces were deathly pale, with blood streaming from their seven orifices, looking like corpses...
