The wind howled through the ancient streets of Beijing, carrying with it the scent of rain and the distant sound of gongs from the Tiantan. Li Wei gripped his worn jacket tighter, his eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of Zhang Min. He had been chasing shadows for days, ever since the mysterious artifact was stolen from the Gugong.
"Li Wei, over here!" Zhang Min's voice cut through the noise, sharp and urgent. She emerged from a side alley, her face pale under the flickering streetlights.
"What have you found?" Li Wei asked, his voice low as he approached her.
"It's the Long Yin," she replied, her hands trembling as she pulled a small, intricately carved box from her bag. "I traced it to an old contact in the Silu Shichang, but we don't have much time. The Sanhehui is on our trail."
Li Wei nodded, his mind racing. The Long Yin was more than just a relic; it held secrets that could change the balance of power in the entire Jianghu. "We need to get to the Changcheng. It's the only safe place left."
As they slipped into the shadows, the first drops of rain began to fall, masking their footsteps on the cobblestone paths. Zhang Min glanced back, her heart pounding. "Do you think we can trust the elders at the wall?"
"We have no choice," Li Wei said, his voice steady despite the doubt in his eyes. "The fate of the Qi Men Dun Jia depends on it."
