Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The chaotic battle in the valley instantly erupted, and the sounds of killing shook the sky.

However, Zhang Xuan did not participate in this chaotic battle. He drove the carriage away quickly.

“Don’t let them escape. Chase them!”

Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to leave with his clients, the leader shouted at his subordinates.

A few men in black tried to chase after Zhang Xuan, but they were stopped by the escort agency.

Zhang Xuan successfully left the chaotic battlefield and drove the carriage away quickly.

However, although he had escaped from this mess, the rest of the journey was still filled with trouble.

It was mainly because the identity of the mother and son was too sensitive. It was unknown how many forces had their eyes on this mother and son.

In just over 10 days, he had encountered several people from various forces trying to capture the mother and son. Zhang Xuan had relied on his powerful strength to avoid wave after wave of searches.

Through these days of interaction, Zhang Xuan and Zhou Lingzhen slowly became familiar with each other. Zhou Lingzhen was Ouyang Xue’s widow.

In his chat with Zhou Lingzhen, Zhang Xuan tried to find out if the legend of the immortals was true.

However, Zhou Lingzhen and her son were very cautious. Every time Zhang Xuan mentioned this topic, they would remain silent and not reveal anything.

Although he didn’t find anything, Zhang Xuan didn’t really care. He was just curious about whether there were immortals in this world and didn’t have any other thoughts.

Since Zhou Lingzhen was unwilling to tell him, Zhang Xuan would not force her.

After all, he had an endless lifespan and had the system as his trump card. He would not seek the Immortal Sword that everyone wanted.

However, Zhang Xuan was most interested in whether there were immortals in this world.

Even Ouyang Xue, a famous swordsman, had fallen because of this. It was definitely not groundless.

There were also countless people who pursued Zhou Lingzhen and her son relentlessly. This proved that this mother and son were perhaps the only ones who knew the whereabouts of the Immortal Sword.

Apart from beating around the bush, Zhang Xuan didn’t do anything overboard because he didn’t forget his current identity. He was the escort agency’s escort. It was his duty to protect Zhou Lingzhen and her son.

The rest of the journey was still full of trouble. However, with Zhang Xuan’s Connate Realm cultivation, he could sense the danger ahead of time, so those who had ill intentions had no chance to take advantage of it.

After a long journey and two months, Zhang Xuan brought Zhou Lingzhen and her son to the border of Great Zhou and entered Great Yu.

The Great Yu Empire and the Great Zhou Empire were neighbors. Although they were two dynasties, the Great Yu Empire was very similar to the Great Zhou Empire. The Great Yu Empire was also filled with martial arts sects and everyone practiced martial arts.

Furthermore, the Great Yu Dynasty was also the destination of Zhou Lingzhen and her son. After arriving here, Zhang Xuan’s mission could be considered completed.

“My mission is complete. The rest is up to you.”

Zhang Xuan looked at Zhou Lingzhen and her son and said calmly.

He had only escorted this mother and son for the escort agency’s mission. Since the mission had been completed, he had no obligation to continue helping this pair deal with other dangers.

As for finding out the whereabouts of the Immortal Sword from Zhou Lingzhen and her son, he had never thought of doing so.

The Immortal Sword was definitely a divine weapon that could increase one’s combat strength. However, true experts did not rely on external forces to become stronger.

Zhang Xuan had enough time to improve himself. Coupled with the existence of the system, it would be his good fortune to obtain the sword. However, if he was not fated to obtain it, there was no need to force it.

Furthermore, it was unknown if the Immortal Sword existed or not.

Zhou Lingzhen had a good impression of Zhang Xuan. Not only did he escort them safely to Great Yu, but he was also calm and knew his limits. Zhou Lingzhen admired him very much.

After all, her son’s and her identity were rather sensitive. When it came to the Immortal Sword Case, there were very few people she could trust.

When she was taken away by Zhang Xuan alone, Zhou Lingzhen was still very wary of him. She was worried that he would have other thoughts.

Especially when Zhang Xuan beat around the bush about immortals, Zhou Lingzhen felt that her son and her were in danger.

However, after spending some time together, she knew that she was overthinking. Zhang Xuan was as trustworthy as He Yushan.

Apart from inquiring about immortals, Zhang Xuan had never done anything overboard.

“Give this to He Yushan.”

Zhou Lingzhen took out a token with the words “Dragon Gate Escort Agency” engraved on it and handed it to Zhang Xuan.

This token was a token given to the client by the escort agency. Only by taking the client’s token back could he prove that the mission was completed.

Zhang Xuan nodded and put away the sign. Just as he was about to go back, Zhou Lingzhen suddenly said,

“The rumored Immortal Sword in the martial arts world was deliberately rumored to target my husband.”

Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised by this, nor did he care. He was just puzzled why Zhou Lingzhen suddenly told him about it when she was unwilling to say it previously.

However, although Zhang Xuan was puzzled, he did not say anything. He knew that the other party had not finished speaking.

Indeed, after a pause, Zhou Lingzhen continued,

“The Immortal Sword doesn’t exist, but immortals do!”

“Back then, my husband accidentally entered the cave and obtained an immortal pill and a piece of brocade. The immortal pill was given to my child. There were mysterious words on the brocade. Before my husband could study the words on the brocade, the matter of meeting an immortal was exposed. He was surrounded and killed. Before he died, he handed the brocade to me for safekeeping.”

As Zhou Lingzhen spoke, she took out a piece of ancient brocade from her pocket. There were complicated words engraved on the brocade.

Immortals really existed?

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up. He was very interested in the brocade left behind by the immortals.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll snatch it from you?”

Zhang Xuan looked at Zhou Lingzhen with a faint smile and asked.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by something left behind by an immortal?

Even Zhang Xuan was tempted by the brocade.

Of course, Zhang Xuan had his own bottom line. He was not someone who would do anything for treasures. He was just puzzled by Zhou Lingzhen’s intentions.

“I can tell that you’re a principled person. It’s all thanks to your protection that we can return safely. Not only is this brocade useless to me, but it’s also trouble. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

Zhou Lingzhen handed the brocade to Zhang Xuan.

It was true that she was grateful to Zhang Xuan for protecting her and her son. It was also true that she did not want to cause trouble for herself because of the brocade.

There were too few people like Zhang Xuan who were not tempted by treasures.

After experiencing her husband’s death, Zhou Lingzhen only believed what she saw and would not listen to anyone else.

And Zhang Xuan’s actions had convinced her.

“Then it would be impolite of me to decline.”

Zhang Xuan understood what Zhou Lingzhen meant and accepted the brocade with a smile.

He was indeed very interested in the things left behind by the immortals. As for the trouble that Zhou Lingzhen was worried about, Zhang Xuan did not care at all.

In the entire Great Zhou, there were less than 10 people who could fight him head-on.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Lingzhen and her son, Zhang Xuan returned to the Great Zhou Empire with the token and the brocade left behind by the immortal.
