Night had fallen, the moon hung high.
Outside Autumn Moon Tower, in Peach Blossom Alley.
A carriage had stopped here, surrounded by more than a dozen attendants.
Then the carriage curtain was lifted.
A figure in a green robe, holding a red longsword, stepped down from the carriage.
"My lord. This is the place..." A Demon Suppressing Division badge bearer clasped his fists toward Lin Guanhuo and pointed into the depths of Peach Blossom Alley. "Through this alley is Autumn Moon Tower, the largest tavern in Blackwater City."
"This Autumn Moon Tower is property of the Blood Spear Sect. The Blood Spear Sect has never had a good relationship with our Demon Suppressing Division. Over the years, people from both sides have died at the other's hands. My lord, you must be cautious."
At the same time, several badge bearers who had come along stared toward the end of Peach Blossom Alley, their expressions somewhat doubtful.
Could there really be Demons here?
"You few stay here. Once I'm done, come inside and clean up." Lin Guanhuo left those words behind and walked into Peach Blossom Alley.
The Demon Suppressing Division badge bearers who had accompanied him bent at the waist and clasped their fists. "As you command, my lord."
Watching Lin Guanhuo's retreating figure, they could only marvel at how unfathomable Lin Guanhuo was. Even the way he handled matters was impossible to fathom...
With his blade in hand, Lin Guanhuo entered Peach Blossom Alley.
It was a long street, its ground paved with blue stone bricks polished gleaming smooth by countless footsteps. The bright moon hung overhead, casting a faint sheen across the ground.
Peach blossoms had been planted all along both sides of the street. It was already summer, and whenever the wind blew, blossoms filled the sky.
