Outside the county walls, the Yuhe River meandered, its surface shimmering under the moonlight.
A sprawling stronghold stood on the riverbank. Its walls, built from bluestone and logs, towered over ten feet high. Black banners of the River Gang were planted atop them, snapping in the night wind.
This was the headquarters of the River Gang, one of the top factions in Yuhe County. They controlled dozens of miles of waterway, both upstream and downstream, boasted over a thousand members, and held a fearsome reputation in the Jianghu.
Its Gang Leader, Li Tieyun, had mastered his Iron Sand Palm to a sublime degree and was widely recognized as a top-tier expert below the Huajin realm.
Some time ago, he had joined forces with Yang Jing to annihilate the notorious Flying Horse Thieves. Not only had he received a commendation from the authorities, but the River Gang's prestige had also reached its peak.
