Like a rushing thunder, the group suddenly stopped in an inconspicuous corner of Great Liang Village as if mercury had spilled, their breathes not the slightest bit disordered.
The chilling and deadly aura that reached one's bones did not dissolve in the slightest but grew even denser.
The leader looked at the locked yard before him and lifted his chin slightly.
The man behind him stood out, dismounted, and walked briskly to the door. He pushed it, but the door did not budge. His right hand drew a dagger from his waist, pulled upwards, and a somewhat green-rusted lock broke in half, falling to the ground. He put away the dagger and pushed open the door.
The remaining riders spurred their horses inside. The leader looked at the yard, which was simple and worn even by typical mountain village standards, chuckled softly, and placed his hand on his waist, gripping the handle of his sword without saying a word.
