"Three criminals are a lot for one person to escort. Why don't you let us handle these two traitors?"
Stepping off the Spiritual Vessel, the guard leader who had argued with Zhao Lin earlier had a complete change in attitude, proactively offering to help escort the black-faced cultivator and Huang Teng.
"Alright. I'll have to trouble you, then."
Zhao Lin knew they wanted a share of the credit, but he didn't refuse. Having locals on his side would make things easier and save him a lot of trouble.
And that was indeed the case. The guards led Zhao Lin into Qiuyang County, and their journey was unimpeded, bringing them directly to the Patrol Hall on the main peak.
"I am Zhao Mufeng, Hall Master of the Qiuyang County Patrol Hall. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"
Qiuyang County wasn't large. It had only two mountain peaks, and its Spirit Vein was merely Tier Two Lower Grade, two grades lower than Han Chi County's.
