"Follow... go in?" An escort master, after hearing this, couldn’t help but shrink his neck as he stared dumbfounded and asked, "Escort Master Zhen, are... are you sure?!"

"Certain!" Zhen Zhiyuan said solemnly, "Whether it’s Miss Yun or Daoist Priest Fan, they are both cultivators! As cultivators, if they dare step in there, it means they must be confident in their own abilities!"

"Ah..." The escort master hesitated, "But that’s their confidence, not ours..."

"Moreover..."

With some courage, the escort master continued, "Moreover, it’s still unclear whether they are truly cultivators. What if they are deceiving us, and we follow them in..."

Zhen Zhiyuan turned to look at him, "I am speaking in my capacity as the current head of Zhenhai Escort Agency."

After hearing Zhen Zhiyuan’s words.

The escort master said no more.

After all, as the heir of Zhenhai Escort Agency, no matter how young Zhen Zhiyuan might be, he was ultimately holding everyone’s livelihood in his hands. If they didn’t follow his commands, the silver for the subsequent part of the escort mission would very likely not be paid.

"Uncle Wang, let’s go in."

"Alright."

Uncle Wang, at this moment, didn’t say much. Even though there was some worry in his eyes, there was more of a relieved expression.

It was as if... watching a stubborn youth who had not grown up for years, finally showing some backbone.

Finally acting like an adult.

Uncle Wang turned towards the direction of Hu Dafu and called out, "Master Hu, our escort master has decided to follow those two cultivators into that eerie land ahead! Please remember to sit tight in the carriage, and make sure no one is left behind!"

"What?" The rotund Hu Dafu was suddenly taken aback, "Go in there?"

A hint of panic flickered in his eyes.

But it seemed as if he thought of something.

And he made up his mind.

Clenching his teeth harshly.

"Fine, let’s go!" he said, heaving his hefty legs as he scrambled onto the carriage, then crawled into the coach and pulled the curtain shut... Out of sight from everyone else, he hurriedly took out an amulet shimmering with flowing light.

Hu Dafu murmured softly, "With this amulet, obtained from that tomb over a decade or two ago..."

"There should... there shouldn’t be any big problems."

"At least it should help me avoid calamity tonight."

The caravan’s drivers and escort masters immediately hastened to follow the pace of Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing, for in their eyes, these two were the only ones capable of countering the supernatural.

Only by following them could they feel relatively safe.

About half a cup of tea’s time after heading towards the village in the countryside... the horses of the caravan became unsettled, forcing the drivers and escort masters to quickly soothe them.

And the air around seemed to have grown colder than usual, sending shivers down one’s spine.

It wasn’t even autumn yet.

In theory, even on a cold summer night, it should not be this chilly.

Very strange indeed.

"Odd..." an escort master murmured, "I have a feeling something isn’t quite right. Shouldn’t there be a lot of cicadas chirping on a summer night? Why don’t we hear any here?"

"Forget cicada sounds, we haven’t even heard the noise of insects," another escort master said cautiously in a hushed tone.

"Hiss! This place is definitely eerie! We should stick closer! They say when living people stay close together, the more there are, the stronger the Yang energy becomes. It can dispel the filthy things that take the opportunity to play tricks or do evil."

"Remember to keep an eye on the people around you; if someone goes missing, make sure to speak up promptly!"

"Should we unsheathe our swords just in case?"

"Those two cultivators ahead, why do they seem not at all afraid? Even the oxen they are leading don’t seem to sense any unease?"

"Who knows..."

Although the sun had completely set at this moment, the lingering light of evening still allowed one to see the odd scenery around.

The fields beside the village road had long been neglected, overrun with weeds, left fallow for at least a dozen years.

No livestock belonging to any villagers could be seen nearby.

Was it because of the darkness... that they had taken their animals home? Or does this strange village... simply not have livestock at all?

Anxiety spread among the crowd.

The escort masters with better mental fortitude were okay, tense but still able to communicate normally.

However, the drivers, who weren’t as mentally strong, were already in a state of panic.

They were just a group of coachmen.

They were only paid to transport goods.

They weren’t like escort masters, who lived their lives on the edge of the blade, drawing blood every day. Faced with such a situation, it would have been strange if they weren’t afraid.

Zhen Zhiyuan naturally noticed the spreading tension.

But he couldn’t do anything about it.

Because he was tense too.

To encounter such odd circumstances on his first mission leading the escort of such valuable goods... Zhen Zhiyuan didn’t know if it was just his bad luck or if he was unsuitable to be the head of Zhenhai Escort Agency?

All he could hope for now was that this night would pass quickly.
