Within the boundaries of Guo Country, Heshan Town.
Li Muyang's carriage slowly appeared on the road outside the small town.
Although it was bright noon and the sun was shining, not a single living person could be seen outside of the town.
In the verdant rice fields, frogs leapt about, hopping over the ridges, the only sign of life in this place.
An elusive and oppressive air hung over the town ahead under the sunlight.
The driver, Ding Liang, clutching the reins tightly, had also sensed that something was amiss at this point.
He looked at the town ahead with trepidation and said, "My Lord, there's something sinister about this place..."
Having transported Li Muyang for some distance, he had previously encountered a few towns haunted by evil spirits.
But none of the places he had been to before were quite like Heshan Town here, which had an eerie feel even from afar.
And outside the town was desolate, not a single person in sight.
