Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 21 System Mission: Subdue the Three Heroes of Qianshan

The supply convoy marched through Qianshan in a grand procession. On the mountaintop, Li Jingshan watched them depart with a calm expression, his thoughts unknown.

"Brother, are we just going to let them leave like this?"

"This is 50,000 shi of grain. If it falls into our hands, the brothers won't have to work for half a year," Ren Manshan said in a deep voice. "We know every corner of Qianshan. It won't be difficult to seize the grain."

"That kid from Zhenyuan Escort Agency can't do anything to us."

Li Jingshan turned his head and looked at Ren Manshan. "Second brother, don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"Chu Sheng of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, a young grandmaster, even if we join forces, we are no match for him."

"If we seize the supplies, all the brothers on the mountain will die. Do you understand?"

Ren Manshan looked surprised and incredulous. "Brother, you're not kidding, are you? That kid is a Grandmaster. It's impossible."

"How could there be such a young grandmaster in the martial arts world?"

Li Jingshan was still shaken, but thankful that he hadn't directly attacked the imperial grain supplies. Once the fighting broke out, there would have been no room for reconciliation, and it would have plunged the Qianshan brothers into utter ruin.

Ren Manshan was also somewhat frightened.

"Let's go back and talk about it when the third brother comes back!"

After watching the grain convoy depart, the two returned to the stronghold's main hall, where their third brother, Ling Shuo, was.

Suddenly seeing Li Jingshan and Ren Manshan return, he hurried to greet them, "Eldest brother, second brother, you didn't take any action against the imperial court's grain supplies, did you?"

"No!"

"The imperial grain supplies were escorted by Chief Escort Chu of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Their strength was too great, so my elder brother chose to give up."

Ling Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother is wise. It's fortunate that we didn't become enemies with Chu Sheng. This young man is too strong."

"Right now, his reputation is all over the martial arts world; he's arguably the most popular figure there."

Ren Manshan asked, "Third brother, is he very famous in the martial arts world?"

"It's more than just being famous!" Ling Shuo said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, Chu Sheng escorted the eldest princess back to the capital from Qingyang City. At the foot of Yanyun Mountain, he killed the eunuch Qingxuan of the Eastern Depot with his ninth-grade cultivation. That was a renowned grandmaster in the Eastern Depot."

"You think Chu Sheng's strength is just like that?"

"Under the imperial city, he fought against two masters from the Eastern Depot, Qingming and Qingyuan, while the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion were all mobilized. Despite this lineup, he broke through in the battle and advanced to become a junior master."

"Forcibly escorting the eldest princess into the capital."

"The teachers of Chang'an Academy extended an olive branch to him, wanting to take him as a disciple, but Chu Sheng refused."

"It's thanks to you that you didn't attack him. You thought that Chu Sheng's strength would wipe out our Qianshan in the blink of an eye."

Ren Manshan gasped, "That kid is so young, yet he's so monstrous?"

He was still shaken, thankful that he hadn't attacked Chu Sheng earlier, otherwise this day next year would have been his death anniversary.

"However, in the days to come, Chu Sheng will be in a very dangerous situation. The martial arts world is in turmoil, and he has become the target of everyone's attacks."

"Third brother, what do you mean by that?" Li Jingshan asked curiously.

"Brother, Chu Sheng's departure from the capital this time is not only to escort supplies to the Eastern Territory. He also carries the treasures of Chang'an Academy, the Taiping Strategy and the Nameless Heavenly Book. Once the news spread, the martial arts world was in an uproar."

Who wouldn't want to see the wordless book of nature?

"Now, various forces are stirring up trouble, and Chu Sheng has become their target."

Li Jingshan nodded, "I see."

He had heard of the Taiping Strategies and the Wordless Heavenly Book, both rare treasures in the martial arts world, and upon hearing this news, he was equally excited.

However, he quickly calmed down. Even if the treasure was good, he still needed to be alive to get it.

To snatch something from a Grandmaster, one must be at least a Grandmaster in cultivation; otherwise, it's like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

"Chu Wu was quite famous in the martial arts world back then, but I never expected his apprentice to surpass him. Under his leadership, Zhenyuan Escort Agency may return to its peak."

Just then.

A familiar voice came from outside the Hall of Righteousness. Upon hearing the voice, the three brothers rushed out. On the mountain peak ahead, a person stood proudly. The person was none other than Chu Sheng.

Li Jingshan and the other two exchanged glances. The people who rushed out of the Gathering Righteousness Hall were tense and ready to fight. They were puzzled as to what Chu Sheng meant by returning.

The army escorting the supplies has already crossed Qianshan. Is Chu Sheng settling scores after the fact?

In fact, Chu Sheng did not want to come back. Before leaving Qianshan, the system issued a mission for him to subdue the three heroes of Qianshan.

The Invincible Escort Agency System helps you expand your escort agency.

The system currently rates Zhenyuan Escort Agency as third-rate.

To advance to the second tier, you need to increase the number of people in your escort agency to one hundred and have three grandmasters.

A top-tier escort agency must have 3,000 employees and at least three branches across the country.

The Invincible Escort Agency has over ten thousand members and branches all over the world. Each agency must have at least two immortal beings on land to oversee it.

Looking at the ranking of escort agencies within the system, Chu Sheng felt a sense of awe.

The only thing that surprised him was that once the escort agency reached level two, the escort agency shop would be unlocked, where he could buy items.

The figure in question is Chu Sheng.

Faction: Zhenyuan Escort Agency (Third-rate)

Strength: Peak Grandmaster.

Martial arts skills: Nine Yang Divine Skill (max level), Dugu Nine Swords (max level), Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique (twelve forms).

Members: None.

Shop: Not open.

Looking at his own profile, Chu Sheng knew that developing Zhenyuan Escort Agency into an invincible force was a long and arduous task, and he still had a long way to go.

"What brings Chief Escort Chu to Qianshan?"

Li Jingshan looked wary and asked a question.

Chu Sheng floated down in front of Li Jingshan, saying, "Mountain Lord Li, there's no need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions."

"Chief Escort Chu, please!"

The three brothers followed Chu Sheng into the Hall of Righteousness, while the others stood guard outside.

Chu Sheng cut to the chase, "You three were forced into becoming outlaws. I've come to invite you to join the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. I wonder if you three are interested?"

Li Jingshan, Ren Manshan, and Ling Shuo all looked puzzled, never expecting that Chu Sheng would extend an olive branch to them.

"Chief Escort Chu, we brothers gathered in Qianshan just to have a meal; we have no intention of joining any faction."

Li Jingshan made his stance clear, choosing to reject Chu Sheng.

"Lord Li, don't be so quick to refuse?" Chu Sheng said slowly. "Qianshan has three thousand men, but in the martial world they are just a bunch of rabble. Any powerful force that wants to attack you can wipe out Qianshan in the blink of an eye."

"I wasn't wrong, was I!"

The three remained silent, because Chu Sheng was absolutely right.

Despite having three thousand brothers following them, the three still felt like they were walking on thin ice.

In the martial arts world, they were just low-ranking bandits, unable to catch the eye of those prestigious sects. They were also a thorn in the side of the imperial court, putting them in a very difficult situation.

Three thousand people gathered together for food; once that food could not be provided, they would gather quickly but disperse even faster.

Chu Sheng continued, "As long as the three of you join Zhenyuan Escort Agency, I can ensure you have food to eat and money to earn. I will also help you advance to the Grandmaster level, or even stronger."

"Looking across the world over the past century, besides myself, do the three of you know anyone else who has reached the Grandmaster level at the age of eighteen?"

"I have the ability and confidence to lead everyone to run Zhenyuan Escort Agency well. Of course, there is another important point: no matter what your previous status was, once you join Zhenyuan Escort Agency, you can walk in the sunlight."

"I can guarantee that the imperial court will not take action against you."

The three men were somewhat moved; the olive branch extended by Chu Sheng was very tempting to them, and they could hardly find a reason to refuse.

Because Chu Sheng gave so much.

The cultivation level of a grandmaster and a pure body are what they dream of.

"Chief Escort Chu, we can join the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, but I have one condition."

"Speak freely!"
