Early the next morning, sunlight filtered through the light morning mist and fell upon every corner of Taoyuan Village. The village market was usually bustling with activity, with villagers arriving early to set up stalls featuring their homegrown produce and handmade crafts. Today, however, the market was shrouded in an unusual atmosphere.
Ever since the food poisoning incident at Xianweiju last night, rumors had been swirling around the village. Behind all of this was Zhang Batian, working in the shadows.
Zhang Batian, the reincarnated Demon Venerable who had been defeated by Li Rufeng, had assumed the guise of a local bully and harbored a deep grudge against Li Rufeng and his companions. Seeing Xianweiju thriving and witnessing how deeply loved Li Rufeng and the others were by the villagers, the flames of jealousy in his heart had burned brighter and brighter. He had thus hatched a vicious scheme to spread rumors at the market, attempting to ruin Xianweiju and make it impossible for Li Rufeng and his group to gain a foothold in the village.
