Seeing Ye Xuan's puzzled expression, the middle-aged man continued, "It's obvious that the Mutated Races have used the spies they have planted in the human territory for many years. Only the Mutated Races would dare to go against the Human Sovereign Hall in the human territory!"
"Understood." Ye Tianze said, "Let's talk business."
"Brother Ye, are you joining the Jubao Hall or …" The middle-aged man didn't think Ye Tianze would choose to pay for his life because the price was too high.
"I'll pay for a chance to get out of the city." Ye Tianze said.
"Hmm!" The middle-aged man looked at him in surprise, "You don't need the Jubao Hall to send experts to protect you?"
"No." Ye Tianze shook his head, "I just need you to take me out of the city."
The middle-aged man fell silent. If it was just a chance like this, it would only cost a few thousand spirit coins at most. However, this was not in line with the benefits of the Jubao Hall, but this business had to be done.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said, "How about this? We'll still send people to protect you on your way to the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Realm. You don't have to spend money, but when you come out of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Realm, you have to do something for the Jubao Hall!"
"What is it?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Don't worry, it's not about money or murder. The Jubao Hall is not a dirty rat like Acheron. We never do such things." The middle-aged man said, "If you want to refuse, it's fine, but you have to pay for it."
Ye Tianze smiled. He now admired the Jubao Hall. It seemed like they were giving him the best conditions, but in reality, it was no different from before.
"Okay, I promise you." Ye Tianze said.
The middle-aged man immediately took out the contract. After Ye Tianze stamped it, the middle-aged man smiled brightly and said, "Don't be offended. The Jubao Hall has never liked verbal agreements. Black and white is the real deal."
The middle-aged man immediately arranged a carriage for him. The carriage was pulled by a tall spirit horse. This kind of horse was raised from a spirit beast and was very loyal.
However, Ye Tianze's carriage was not by itself. Instead, it was mixed in with the entire caravan. The banner of Gathering Treasures fluttered in the wind. It was very eye-catching.
After a while, the middle-aged man brought another middle-aged man over. This middle-aged man wore a bamboo hat and was serious in speech and manner. He had an unapproachable expression on his face.
"This is the person in charge of your safety this time. You don't need to know who he is, and you don't need to tell him who you are. After sending you to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land, he will disappear." The middle-aged man said.
The two of them looked at each other. A strange light flashed through the eyes of the middle-aged man wearing the bamboo hat. But, he quickly put it away. Ye Tianze wasn't surprised. But, his heart was in turmoil.
Although this person had restrained all of his aura, he could still feel the terror of this person, especially the hand that was always holding the hilt of the knife. It was full of calluses, and one look and he could tell that this person was an expert in using the knife.
After a while, the caravan set off. Ye Tianze sat in the most inconspicuous carriage. There were many things piled up inside.
The driver was the middle-aged man wearing the bamboo hat.
When they left the city, the city gate was being checked. The Huang Family's guards searched almost every person who left the city. They had already learned that Ye Tianze had left.
But when they arrived at the Jubao Hall's caravan, the Huang Family's guards opened the fence without asking anything.
"The Jubao Hall's power is not small. The Huang Family doesn't even have the guts to ask." Ye Tianze whispered.
"Acheron is playing tricks. The Jubao Hall is playing tricks. Otherwise, how could they invite me?" The middle-aged man wearing the bamboo hat replied.
"May I know your name?" Ye Tianze asked.
But after waiting for a long time, the middle-aged man didn't reply. Ye Tianze thought that he didn't hear him, so he asked again, but he still didn't answer.
Ye Tianze remembered the instructions of the Jubao Hall's registrar, so he didn't ask any more questions. He sat cross-legged in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The caravan traveled for a day without meeting any obstacles. This made Ye Tianze a little cautious. The journey was too peaceful.
At night, because there were no cities nearby, they could only set up camp in the wilderness. The Jubao Hall skillfully set up a defensive formation and lit up the campsite. From afar, it looked like a village.
The campsite was lit up to prevent spirit beasts from invading. Some bold spirit beasts would come down from their habitats at night and attack humans in the wilderness.
This was also why there was only one city in Qingyuan. There were almost no villages in the wilderness.
The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat had already prepared some dry rations. He handed one to Ye Tianze and started eating.
Just as the two of them were chewing on the tough jerky, there was a whoosh in the distance, followed by a scream.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of something breaking through the air didn't stop. Every time there was a sound, a guard fell to the ground and died. But this didn't make the guards panic.
They set up their defenses in an orderly manner and extinguished all the lights in the camp at the first moment.
In the darkness, the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat pulled out an arrow from the carriage. His eyes were cold. "Poison Dragon Crossbow! These are Acheron's men! "
The arrow was covered in poison. Other than the sound of arrows flying through the air, the campsite was silent. All the guards hid and waited for the enemy to attack.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, illuminating the entire campsite. A few flaming arrows fell from the sky.
The flames ignited the goods in the carriage. The guards hiding beside the carriage immediately became targets for the Poison Dragon Crossbow.
The guards finally became nervous. But they didn't completely panic. Instead, they hid themselves.

When the fire reached the sky, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the forest not far away. The hidden guards immediately rushed out and rushed towards the direction of the fight.
In the brief darkness, they sent out a few good men to attack the direction of the arrows. Now was the time to cooperate with them and counterattack.
However, as soon as they rushed out, several of them were shot down by the crossbow bolts. These bolts came from two other directions.
The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat hid behind the goods and didn't make a sound. But what surprised him was that the people he was protecting were just like him. They didn't panic at all.
This made the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat look at Ye Tianze in a new light. He held the hilt of his sword and said, "Wait here. I will go and take a look in these directions."
"Wait!" Ye Tianze stopped him. "They attacked with arrows to alert the enemy. If you go out and kill them now, you will expose our existence."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man looked at him in surprise. "You mean, Acheron's men don't know that you are in the convoy?"
