Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Hour of the fifth watch.
Lu Yuan awoke from his slumber, his eyes betraying a trace of doubt.
Normally, around the hour of the fourth watch, the crowing of roosters would be heard.
But today, it was eerily quiet, with not a sound emanating from the vast escort agency!
"Something's amiss."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, just as he was about to get out of bed.
"Creak!"
Just then.
The door opened on its own, a bone-chilling wind gusting through the crack, causing him to involuntarily shiver!
Lu Yuan turned his head to look.
He saw that outside the door, the courtyard had been shrouded in a grey mist unbeknownst to him.
Lu Yuan's vision was blocked by the grey mist, rendering him unable to see beyond a single zhang!
This discovery was shocking, sending alarm bells ringing in his mind.
