Clang! A strange, eerie sound of a wooden clapper rang out! Yang Wang suddenly felt his vision go dark, followed by a crack from his chest! Realizing something was wrong, he quickly pressed his back against the wall, gripping his sword in one hand while his other hand fumbled at his chest. Fifteen minutes later, he found a shattered jade pendant in his palm! This jade pendant had been acquired by his elder brother, Yang Wei, at great expense from the capital. Though its jade quality was average, it…-

Night had fallen, and thick layers of dark clouds loomed overhead, resembling a vast black umbrella shielding Four Corners Town. It was nearing midnight, and the Golden Guard members had reconvened in the private room where they had gathered earlier in the day. Golden Guard Yang sat at the table, his right hand resting on its surface, tapping his index finger rhythmically, producing a steady tap, tap sound. "How long until midnight?" Beside him, the timekeeper responded, "Fifteen minutes…

The sunset burned like fire, casting its glow over Shengxian River. As the river rippled, it stirred up vivid red "ribbons" in the water, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Fishing boats lined the riverbank, with fishermen either resting and eating on board or securing their boats to the shore. As the sun dipped westward, the once-bustling riverside gradually grew quiet. Shengxian River had a unique terrain—its waters formed a circular lake, with four tributaries extending in the four cardinal…

The candlelight flickered, casting shadows across the large guest room, which felt somewhat cramped due to the sheer number of people present. Most of the External Agents officers stood with solemn expressions, while the five Golden Guards seemed indifferent in comparison—two of them even yawned repeatedly. The reason for this sudden gathering at such an hour was none other than the middle-aged man lying on the bed. That man, named Yang Peng, was part of the External Agents Unit B. While patrolling…

"Which one are you talking about?" The black-robed elder's expression froze for a moment as he recalled the five people he had just seen. A woman in her thirties, skilled and nimble, with a long whip at her waist. Two sturdy men wielding iron shields, as imposing as small mountains—likely the vanguard of the group. The young man who led the conversation carried a faint yet unmistakable aura of ruthlessness—probably a difficult opponent. And the most ordinary of them all was the one wearing……

The night patrol was set to end at the hour of the Rabbit (5–7 AM). After the commotion in South Corner Village, nothing else noteworthy happened. Fortunately, the girl who had been sold into the brothel by her stepfather had remained unharmed due to the matter of her virginity. The brothel keepers initially demanded a higher price for her release, but after Feng Wei brandished her weapon and revealed her identity, they begrudgingly returned the girl at the original price. By midday, it was time for…

More and more people got dressed and came out, surrounding the scene and loudly asking, “What’s going on? What happened?” Perhaps caught up in his own performance, the middle-aged man sobbed dramatically while exaggerating the story. He accused the Golden Guards of ignoring their duty to subdue demons and save people, instead choosing to bully common folk. At first, when there were only a few people around, the villagers were somewhat intimidated by the outsiders carrying weapons. But as the…

After the woman sincerely offered incense to the Universal Immortal, she finally recounted the full story. She lived in South Corner Village, located in the southern part of Four Corners Town, with her husband and two children—a son and a daughter. Yesterday, her husband took their daughter to a small hill over ten miles from town to dig for bamboo shoots. While they were digging, they unexpectedly encountered a black bear demon. The demon stood up, towering like a mountain, and with a casual swipe of…

Earlier in the afternoon, Zhou Zhongtian had already led Gu Ning'an to settle at an inn located at the end of the alley. The inn was somewhat old, but at least it was clean. Aside from the rooms being a bit small and the location rather secluded, there wasn't much else to complain about. As a free temporary lodging, Gu Ning'an was satisfied with it. After all, he had endured far worse conditions, so a slightly rundown inn was nothing to fuss over. However, Zhou Zhongtian and the others had entered the…

After circling around the topic for quite some time, Zhou Zhongtian finally returned to explaining what it meant to be a temporary External Agent for a single mission. It was actually quite simple. The Golden Guard was not stationed in one fixed location. They would go wherever there was demonic activity or wherever there was a need to prevent such disturbances. This time, their arrival in Four Corners Town was not due to any ongoing demonic threats but merely for a one-month patrol. Almost every year,…
