After a pause, Wang Qi glanced at the sect leader Wang Feng, and asked carefully and tentatively: "Could it be that Wumen secretly instigated this?"
Wang Feng suddenly showed a sinister smile and said: "It's hard to say! Wumen intervenes to stir things up, hehe, it couldn't be better."
Wang Qi nodded, thought for a while, and then smiled and said: "Sect Master, should you inform the Du Fu about the Tang Gang's assassination? Maybe it can make the matter even bigger."
However, Wang Feng lowered his face and shook his head.
Then he glared at Wang Qi and said with some displeasure: "Confused! If you tell the Du Mansion about this, wouldn't you also tell the Du Mansion that our Shawang Sect has been secretly following his people in the Du Mansion! Moreover, he is not afraid of death.
Help. It would be fine if you and I knew about this."
"Yes, that's right." Wang Qi suddenly understood and nodded.

Dufu, Ducheng.
Last night, the guards sent by Du Zhimu did not return the news on time, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Du Zhimu felt a little uneasy throughout the night.
Similarly, the guards sent by Du Pengyu naturally failed to return the news on time.
The anxious Du Pengyu couldn't care so much, so he went to find Du Zhimu that night. The four elders were all there, and everyone was already very worried.
"Peng Yu, I know that you secretly sent guards to protect Xuan'er. But now, there is no news. Originally, they were supposed to arrive at the Magic Valley tonight," Du Zhimu said.
Hearing this, Du Pengyu became even more anxious.
Du Ziwei stood up and said: "Palace Master, I will first send a letter to Mogu to inquire about the situation."
"Well, go quickly." Du Zhimu nodded.
Ducheng is thousands of miles away from the Demon Valley, and all the escorts sent there have not been heard from. Everyone can only worry, and there is no way to reach the Demon Valley in a short time.
Even if Du Zhimu sets out in person, it will take two days at the earliest to arrive.
In two days, if there was an accident, it would have been too late.
The piece of bamboo that Du Ziwei gave to Du Xuan was just a magic weapon for sending messages. The leader in black sent by Du Zhimu had a piece of the same piece of bamboo.
If Du Xuan pinches the bamboo fragments, the leader in black will know immediately. In this way, the leader in black can immediately go to the rescue.
"Master, I'm going to the Demon Valley now to find out what's going on." Du Pengyu said anxiously.
Du Zhimu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yeah, that's fine. Zhihuo, you can go too. The guards sent by me have all disappeared, and I'm afraid that even if Pengyu goes, he won't be able to deal with it. Then pick out the lone wolf."
Twenty Taoist disciples will go with you."
"Yes." Du Zhihuo responded without hesitation and raised his hands.
The next day.
Less than ten hours after Du Zhihuo and Du Pengyu set out, news about Sunjiabao came, which shocked Du Zhimu.
"That's great! Du Xuan is fine, we finally arrived at the Demon Valley." Du Ziwei almost cried with joy.
Du Zhimu's gloomy brows were finally relieved, as long as he was safe.
However, everyone was happy for a moment, but Du Zhijin said: "Master, how could the Sun Family Fort know this matter so well? Is it really a coincidence as they said?"
These words made everyone present fall into silence. After a long while, Du Zhitu said slowly: "I'm afraid this Sun Family Fort doesn't have any good intentions. I guess they didn't dare to take action when they saw the Tang Gang was there."
Du Ziwei nodded in agreement and said, "Master, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"We can't just let the Tang Gang go!" Du Zhijin said immediately.
"Yes!" Du Zhitu, who had always been unwilling to cause trouble, also said angrily.
Du Zhimu sighed softly, but said: "The Tang Gang is so powerful, what can we do to them."
"But, just endure it like this? In the past hundred years, has my Du family suffered enough humiliation? Have there been too few disciples killed or injured?" Du Zhijin seemed to be unwilling to accept it, and said with righteous indignation, "Even if we come on stage in person, we will still be here.
No matter what!"
Du Ziwei looked around at everyone, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Master, the Tang Gang has bullied me, Du Mansion, again and again. It is not a good idea for us to back down and be patient."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Du Ziwei strangely. Du Ziwei had always been the calmest among the four elders, how could he say such a thing today.
"Yes! Palace Master, you see Zi Weidu said this." Du Zhijin's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
Du Zhimu looked at Du Ziwei, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do we really want to declare war on the Tang Gang?"
Du Ziwei shook his head: "Master, how can our Du family fight with the Tang Gang? Now, the disciples of our Du family are in decline. In the next few decades, we can only hide our capabilities and bide our time to accumulate strength."
"Then you just said that it is not a good idea for us to retreat and tolerate. What do you mean?" Du Zhitu asked in confusion.
Du Ziwei stroked his beard and chuckled, saying: "There is no real evidence for the Tang Gang's assassination, only the words of the Sunjiabao family. We can send a letter to question the Tang Gang, and then send a letter to Sunjiabao and Mogu for verification. The Tang Gang categorically denies this matter
He will not admit it, and Mo Gu, if you think about it, will only avoid suspicion and will not identify the Tang Gang."
"My Du Mansion, on the surface, took a tough stance and escalated the matter. We stationed troops on the border, forcing Wumen to mediate. As for the final result, everyone must be aware of it. There is no real evidence for this matter, and Wumen will definitely not allow my Du Mansion to send troops.
Therefore, in the end, this matter was just a matter of fuss and no action was taken, and no real soldiers were sent out. But at least, I, Du Fu, made my attitude clear."
Du Zhimu smiled while listening.
However, Du Zhijin and Du Zhitu both let out a long sigh and shook their heads helplessly.
"Let's do what Ziwei said about this matter. Now, the most important thing is to train my disciples of Du Mansion as soon as possible. By the way, Zhitu, call back Zhihuo and Pengyu." Du Zhimu finally gave the order.
road.
"Yes." Everyone bowed and responded.

Wangyue Mountain.
It was already dark, and the bright moon was high. There was a rustle in the forest, and I didn't know whether it was the wind or the presence of ferocious beasts.
Under the night, one of the woods was in a mess, with corpses strewn everywhere, and filled with a strong smell of blood. Under the faint moonlight, it looked particularly scary.
Suddenly, one of the "corpses" lying on the ground seemed to twitch. Then, a violent coughing sound came. It was particularly clear in this quiet forest.
Slowly, the "corpse" raised its head with difficulty, slowly sat upright, and stared blankly around.
It turned out to be a living person.
Under the moonlight, looking carefully, this person turned out to be the Dulong!
Dulong touched his abdomen and saw that his hands were covered with blood that was about to solidify. Enduring the severe pain, Dulong took out a small bottle from his arms and poured all the elixirs into his mouth with difficulty. Then, again
He tore off several pieces of cloth from his body and wrapped them around the wounds on his waist and back.
rustle!
Suddenly, Dulong suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the jungle. He saw several pairs of shiny eyes looking at him greedily. Dulong quickly reached out and picked up a broken long sword beside him, supporting himself to stand up with difficulty.
.
Slowly, I saw those pairs of shiny eyes getting closer and closer.
Dulong gasped and stared at the ferocious beasts that were gathering around him.
