The silhouette gradually became clearer.
An elder stood at the entrance of the village, leaning on a cane, followed by dozens of villagers.
"What brings you gentlemen here?"
He went straight to the point.
Qin An squinted his eyes, staying silent.
There was hostility.
The villagers' gazes were filled with a sense of enmity, as if they deeply disliked their arrival.
Nie Hu waved his hand and said, "A demon is causing trouble. I am here with my people to quell the chaos. Who are you?"
The elder clasped his hands in salute: "I am the head of Kao Mountain Village, and my surname is Yang."
"There are no demons in the village, only countless old and young. Please, gentlemen, show mercy."
Nie Hu's eyes turned cold: "Enter the village."
He said no more.
Having held the position of Tongzhou Defender for many years, he was experienced and could see at a glance that the situation was unusual.
