In Lin'an City, flames soared into the sky.
Zhang Xuan and the others, who had returned from completing their mission, were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"What happened?"
"Why is the escort agency on fire?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with nervousness and uneasiness. They were all panicking.
He Lingxue, in particular, had a look of disbelief on her face. She could not accept the fact that the escort agency had been set on fire.
"Impossible! It can't be the escort agency that is on fire!"
At this moment, He Lingxue was no longer as cold and arrogant as before. She shouted unacceptably.
After all, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency was not only the largest escort agency in Lin'an City, but also an overlord.
Zhang Xuan also did not understand what was going on.
Apart from He Yushan, who was a first-rate expert, holding down the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, there were also nearly 100 escorts who were skilled in martial arts.
There were nearly 10 second-rate experts, and these people were all experienced.
With such a powerful lineup, who would dare to cause trouble at the Dragon Gate Escort Agency?
The shocked crowd did not have time to think too much and rushed to the escort agency as quickly as possible.
Zhang Xuan was the first to arrive at the escort agency.
Looking up, half of the originally majestic escort agency's door had collapsed under the fire.
Corpses were everywhere in the escort agency, and the ground was dyed red.
The scene in front of him made Zhang Xuan's pupils constrict. This was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene in this world.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
Almost all the escorts and long-term workers in the escort agency were killed.
"Who! Who did this!"
He Lingxue, who had rushed over, seemed to have fallen into a crazy state as she roared at the top of her lungs.
These people were the foundation of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, but they had all died tragically. As the Missy of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, how could she accept this?
The culprit was too ruthless. He did not even let those long-term workers off!
Zhang Xuan looked at the indignant He Lingxue and did not comfort her. Instead, he shouted to the people who followed him, "Quick, see if there are any survivors."
Looking at the scene, it should have happened not long before they returned. Perhaps there were still some who were not dead.
Hearing this, the frightened crowd finally reacted and hurriedly checked.
Zhang Xuan quickly walked around the escort agency and swept his gaze across the people who had been killed. He heaved a sigh of relief when he did not find the corpses of He Yushan and the core escort leaders of the escort agency.
There were no corpses of He Yushan and the core members of the escort agency, which meant that those people still had a chance of survival.
At this moment, a few people suddenly ran out from the horse stable in the backyard.
"Missy is back! It's Missy!"
The person running at the front shouted hoarsely.
"Zhou An, what's going on?"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly went up to them and asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Xuan knew these people. They were long-term workers who had lived together with him and Zhou An, who had been promoted to an escort.
"Zhou An, where's my father?"
He Lingxue, who had heard the commotion, also ran over at this moment and asked anxiously.
"Missy, that bastard Li Feng colluded with the people from Black Wind Stockade and schemed against the chief escort…"
Zhou An's voice became choked again.
If not for the fact that he and a few long-term workers were lucky enough to hide behind the horse stable, they would have been killed too.
Even if the mountain bandits left, Zhou An and the rest did not dare to come out. They were afraid that the mountain bandits would return and they would be so lucky.
"Li Feng, I swear I won't be human if I don't kill you!"
He Lingxue, who knew the cause and effect of the matter, roared at the sky.
Both her father and her treated Li Feng very well.
Especially her. Just because her father didn't think highly of Li Feng, she was so angry that she quarreled with her father several times.
In the end, Li Feng poisoned her father and the higher-ups of the escort agency. What was even more hateful was that he even colluded with the mountain bandits of the Black Wind Stockade and slaughtered the escorts and long-term workers of the escort agency.
This kind of beast deserved to die the most!
Was it actually Li Feng who colluded with the mountain bandits to poison them?
Zhang Xuan was very surprised. He didn't expect that the miserable scene of the escort agency was caused by Li Feng.
Could it be that Li Feng was jealous because He Yushan wanted to matchmake him with He Lingxue?
It wasn't a secret that Li Feng liked He Lingxue in the escort agency. It was just that even Zhang Xuan didn't expect him to use such an extreme method. It was reasonable that the others weren't on guard.
"He deserved to die!"
"Kill Li Feng and avenge our dead brothers!"
The others were filled with righteous indignation as they roared angrily.
They were all members of the escort agency. How could Li Feng be so ruthless?
Moreover, the escort agency had never mistreated Li Feng. This was something that everyone in the escort agency could see.
Amidst their grief and indignation, a murderous aura filled the entire escort agency.
Everyone gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, wanting to take revenge on Li Feng.
"Missy, what should we do?"
Zhou An looked at the furious He Lingxue who was filled with cold killing intent and asked.
Now that most of the people in the escort agency had been killed, the escort agency would also burn down. However, those who were still alive could only roar in grief and indignation. They could not change anything.
What shall we do?
As soon as Zhou An said this, the furious He Lingxue regained some rationality.
Now that her father and the higher-ups of the escort agency's whereabouts were unknown, as the daughter of the chief escort, she had to pull herself together.
He Lingxue took a few deep breaths and suppressed the towering anger in her heart. Then, she said, "Bury these dead brothers first."
These people who were killed had all contributed to the escort agency. Yet, they were implicated because of the escort agency. She could not let these people die without anyone caring.
"Missy is right, but what about the chief escort and the rest?"
Zhou An had no objections to He Lingxue's arrangement, but he was more concerned about the lives of He Yushan and the others.
Once He Yushan was killed, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency would be finished. He had to make plans for himself.
It was not that Zhou An was afraid of death, but he knew very well that they could not take revenge alone.
Black Wind Stockade was not ordinary mountain bandits. It was a large faction near Lin'an City that was almost as famous as the Dragon Gate Escort Agency.
However, the Black Wind Stockade was in the business of plundering houses. It was not tolerated by others, so they went to Black Wind Mountain to set up camp.
Moreover, it was said that the leader of the Black Wind Stockade was also a first-rate expert, even stronger than He Yushan.
Facing such a force, how could they take revenge?
He Lingxue was more anxious than anyone to save He Yushan, but she was not blinded by hatred.
"Zhang Xuan, do you have any good ideas?"
He Lingxue struggled internally for a moment. In the end, she could not help but look at Zhang Xuan.
Although she was unhappy with Zhang Xuan's pretentious attitude, she knew that Zhang Xuan was stronger than her and had more ideas than her.
Furthermore, the current situation required Zhang Xuan's help, so she chose to lower her arrogant head to Zhang Xuan.
At this moment, a figure rushed in and shouted anxiously,
"Missy, the Black Wind Stockade mountain bandits just sent someone to pass a message. They want Missy to bring people to surrender. Otherwise, they'll kill the chief escort!"
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked!
