Chapter 336: Murder and Mayhem! The Earth Lord’s Temple! The Earth Lord of Wei City?
Although Head Constable Wang was both a county officer and a martial expert well-versed in swordplay, he found matters like this truly headache-inducing.
At this time, Li Yanchu’s eyes flickered with divine light as he invoked the Spirit Eyes. What he saw was that beside He Sanhu was a young man in his twenties, who looked exactly the same as He Sanhu, cowering and trembling.
“His soul has been frightened out of his body?” Li Yanchu arched a brow.
Human beings possessed three souls and seven spirits. When suddenly shocked, one might lose a soul, leaving them muddle-headed and dazed. Even a village shaman could call such a soul back.
But He Sanhu’s case was worse; his soul had been startled out and badly shaken, leaving his body sealed in a state of stupor.
“He Sanhu, wake up!” Li Yanchu barked in a thunderous voice. It boomed like a crack of lightning, carrying the resonance of Daoist truth.
Hearing this, He Sanhu, whose eyes had been vacant and dull, suddenly shuddered, and his gaze snapped back to clarity.
Seeing this, Head Constable Wang was left speechless.

At the Southern Grove...
This was a dense woodland on the outskirts of Wei City. Though not mountainous, miasma still lingered among the trees.
At this time, three figures moved within the forest. Leading them was the local thug, He Sanhu. He was still somewhat sluggish in response, but far better than his previous state of self-imposed stupor. Meanwhile, Li Yanchu and Head Constable Wang followed close behind.
