Chapter 355

Deep in the night, darkness like a vast and heavy curtain tightly enveloped Taoyuan Village and the surrounding lands. All was still, save for a few sporadic insect chirps breaking the silence of the night like a mysterious signal hidden within the dark. Li Rufeng, Mei Yuxin, and Zhao Tiezhu slipped through the cover of night like three dark shadows, cautiously making their way toward the secret hideout of the Former Superior outside the village. As a constable of the county yamen, Zhao Tiezhu was widely known for his wit and bravery. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also possessed a special ability: the power to communicate with spirit beasts. This unique skill had aided him countless times throughout his years as a constable. Having lost both parents at a young age, he had been adopted by an elderly constable and raised within the yamen; through constant exposure, he had developed a fierce devotion to justice. Upon hearing of the heinous deeds committed by the Former Superior in Taoyuan Village, he resolutely joined forces with Li Rufeng, determined to eradicate these evil forces once and for all.
