Du Xuan's progress and outstanding strength deeply impressed Long Wanshan. Given the opportunity to compete with him in magic fighting, Long Wanshan naturally agreed happily.
After truly easily defeating Long Wanshan, Du Xuan thought about improving his training group.
Now he is a disciple of Group C, and above him is Group B. However, it has been nearly a month since Du Xuan launched the challenge in the Demon House, and still no disciple of Group B is willing to take on the challenge.
If there is no one to take the battle, there will be no upgrade challenge, and there will be no way to be promoted to Group B. This kind of thing has never happened in the Demon Valley. Hong Er, who is in charge of the Demon House, does not know what to do, and this matter is also
It just kept dragging on.

Let’s talk about the Tang Gang.
At midnight one day, ten men in black clothes stood in the study of the fourth elder Tang Haiquan, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn. Tang Haiquan sat on the big mahogany chair behind the desk, staring at the ten men with solemn faces in front of him one by one.
people.
"Feng Ba." Tang Haiquan stared at one of them and said in a deep voice.
Feng Ba, who was exceptionally strong, took a step forward and said respectfully: "Here you are!"
"Have the three ancient cities been thoroughly reviewed?" Tang Haiquan asked.
"My subordinates have reviewed it thoroughly, and it is consistent with the previous investigation by the junior brothers." Feng Ba's eyes flashed, and his words showed excitement, and he said firmly, "Du Han, the lord of Sangu City, is not in the city. He was recalled to Ducheng a few days ago. Now Sangu City
Among them, deputy city lord Du Qingfeng has the highest cultivation level. However, he is only in the ninth realm of Dharma. The remaining guards and the guards of the city lord's palace total eighty-seven people. Thirty of them are above the sixth realm of Dharma, and the rest are all in the sixth realm of Dharma.
the following."
"Yes." Tang Haiquan nodded with satisfaction.
Then, while stroking the few stubbles on his chin, he muttered to himself: "Sangu City is an important town on the border of Du Mansion. It is enough that the city owner has been recalled. Why is there not a Taoist master here?"
Feng Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this a God-given opportunity? In this way, we can easily capture the Three Ancient Cities."
Even so, Tang Haiquan still felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he asked, "Do you know why Duhan was recalled to Ducheng?"
"I don't know this," Feng Ba shook his head.
Tang Haiquan sighed softly, Ducheng was thousands of miles away, and only the city lord Duhan was recalled. It was understandable that Fengba and others had no way of finding out.
"However." Feng Ba thought of something and said, "In the past month or two, the city lords of many cities in Du Mansion have been recalled to Du City one after another. It can take as short as three to five days, and as long as ten days. Presumably, it should be just
It’s just a routine matter for the Du family.”
"Oh?" Tang Haiquan raised his eyebrows, pondering Feng Ba's words. After a moment, he asked again: "Have the city owners of the other two cities of Beimeng City and Fenglin City that border our Tang Gang been recalled to Ducheng?"
Without even thinking about it, Feng Ba blurted out: "We were recalled to Ducheng together with Na Duhan."
"All returned to Ducheng?" Tang Haiquan was puzzled. It was very unusual that all the city owners of the three border cities that bordered the Tang Gang were recalled.
Feng Ba continued: "This time, Du Mansion recalled the city lords of each city in secret, and from west to east, recalling the city lords of two or three cities each time. Now, the three westernmost cities are already
The last batch."
"In previous years, when did Du Fu recall the city lords of various cities?"
"In previous years? It was usually at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year. This time, it was a month or two earlier." After Feng Ba finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Although my Tang Gang's spies have not found out, this time the Du Mansion
The so-called recalling of city lords from various places is just a routine matter every year. The only exception is that when each city lord returns to each city, he brings a new group of Dufu disciples with him, presumably to strengthen the defense of the cities in each place."
Tang Haiquan stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a moment, he stood still and said: "In that case, we should start as soon as possible and capture the Three Ancient Cities before Nadu Khan comes back."
"Yes." Feng Ba said with cupped hands, waiting for Tang Haiquan's order.
Tang Haiquan sat back on the chair, picked up the tea cup, but held it to his mouth and did not rush to drink the tea. Instead, he looked at Feng Ba in front of him and asked: "Since both Beimeng City and Fenglin City have weak defenses, why not."
Feng Ba was stunned, raised his head, and took over the words: "How about a sneak attack together?"
"Yes!" Tang Haiquan placed the tea cup heavily on the table, stood up, and said coldly, "How can we miss such a good opportunity!"
Although Feng Ba's heart was boiling, he felt that it was a bit too risky, so he asked cautiously: "But, the gang leader only asked us to raid Sangu City."
Tang Haiquan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is true that the gang leader only asked us to sneak attack on the three ancient cities, but now such a good opportunity is a rare opportunity in a century. Besides, it is not difficult for the men and horses that the gang leader has allocated to me to deal with these three cities.
"
Feng Ba lowered his head and thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Listen to Master in everything!"

The night was dim, and under the quiet night sky, only the gentle autumn wind was blowing the weeds on the roadside, and the dead branches and leaves that could not withstand the autumn wind were blown away helplessly by the wind.
Suddenly, black figures riding black horses were galloping quickly on the road. This strong wind was far from as gentle as the slow autumn wind. The weeds on the roadside had to dance wildly for it, and the remaining dead branches on the branches were still alive.
The leaf was shaken to the ground, and the billowing dust kicked up by the horse flew all over the sky.
The huge city wall of Sangu City is in front of you. There is a bonfire every hundred feet on the wall, which looks particularly eye-catching in the night sky.
Whoosh whoosh!
Nearly a hundred sharp arrows suddenly appeared in the night sky. When the guards on the city wall heard and saw them, they were already hit by several arrows before they had time to react.
"Enemy attack!"
A few guards who were lazy and sleeping behind the walls were lucky enough to escape the round of arrows. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air and the muffled sound of the surrounding guards falling to the ground finally woke them up, and they immediately issued a
This roar.
Unfortunately, when these guards were crawling on their knees and running towards the largest bonfire above the city gate, they were killed by sword rays from the enemies who rushed up the city wall.
Soon, dozens of enemies with advanced cultivation levels climbed onto the city wall one after another. One group of people continued towards the sand area of the inner wall, while another group of people rushed straight towards the city gate.
Thanks to the sound of "enemy attack", the guards on the inner city wall were able to detect the sudden appearance of the enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy's cultivation level was far superior to that of these guards. Almost as soon as these guards raised their swords and prepared to meet the enemy, the enemy rushed forward.
Came over.
The difference in cultivation meant that the battle on the inner city wall did not last long, but the huge bonfire platform on the inner city wall still ignited a blazing fire.
"Quick! City Lord's Mansion!" One of the men in black stared at the huge bonfire fiercely and ordered.
At the same time, the gate of the outer city wall had been opened, and other men in black swarmed in, then passed through the gate of the inner city wall that had just been opened, and rushed towards the Sangu City.
Suddenly, an even bigger bonfire lit up in the sky above the Sangu City Lord's Mansion, lighting up almost half of Sangu City. The leader of the man in black, who was galloping on horseback, felt nervous and subconsciously slapped the horse on his crotch.
Son, speed up and run towards the city lord's mansion.
****
Wanhe City.
The guards in bright yellow armor rushed towards the city lord's mansion in a hurry.
"Enemy attack! Sangu City enemy attack!"
This man did not ride a horse, but he was as light as a swallow. He walked on the houses in Wanhe City as if on the ground. Every time he passed a checkpoint in the city, he shouted loudly.
In a few breaths, this person landed firmly in a small courtyard of the Lord's Mansion of Wanhe City. He knelt down and said in a deep voice to the silent and dark wing: "City Lord! Three ancient cities, Beimeng City, and Fenglin City are under enemy attack.
!”
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the wing was kicked away, and a burly man wearing only a white shirt asked sharply: "What did you say!"
"City Lord, enemy attack bonfires were lit in the sky above Sangu City, Beimeng City, and Fenglin City at the same time!" the guard kneeling on the ground repeated.
The burly man thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go quickly and inform the city guard camp to follow me to Sangu City immediately, light the enemy attack bonfire, fly pigeons to send the message back home, and the rest will guard Wanhe City!"
"yes!"
****
It's already dawn, and the battle between Beimeng City and Sangu City is still going on. The bonfire above Fenglin City has been extinguished, leaving only repeated smoke.
However, Beimeng City and Sangu City are now only making their final efforts. The few remaining guards gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, condescendingly, using sharp arrows in the sky to prevent the enemy from rushing into the City Lord's Mansion.
Suddenly, in the three cities under attack, dozens of people stepped on the roofs and appeared out of thin air with anxious faces. The men in black were caught off guard. They did not expect reinforcements to appear so quickly, nor did they expect that the city lord's palace would take so long.
It was not captured.
The reinforcements were none other than the city guard battalions of the cities closest to these three cities.
ASEAN families are at odds with each other, and measures to prevent enemy attacks have always been a top priority. From the border to the center, each family has one-to-one assistance measures.
In Du Mansion, bordering the Tang Gang to the west, the natural city defense task is the heaviest. The three border cities all have one-to-one corresponding cities as backing. Wanhe City corresponds to the Three Ancient Cities, Caiyun City corresponds to Fenglin City, and Huangyu City corresponds to Beimeng City.
Later, corresponding cities also sent troops to assist, until the final core of Du Mansion, Du City.
When the city lords and city guard battalions of the three cities behind arrived at the border, Du Zhimu and others in Ducheng also learned about the Tang Gang's sneak attack. Although the Tang Gang's enemy attack was expected, the attack on the three cities at the same time was not
It was still beyond everyone's expectation, and we could see how ambitious the Tang Gang was.
Du Zhimu did not dare to be careless and directly asked Du Zhihuo and Du Ziwei to lead more than a hundred elite disciples to the border city quickly.
****
In the early morning, an anxious disciple of the Du family hurriedly came to Wumen and asked to see the master of Wumen and Du Zhitu, who was here as a guest. When he heard about this, Du Zhitu had just gotten up and was washing up, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
Quickly go directly to Wuhun Palace.
Wuhun Hall is the most majestic hall of Wumen.
At this moment, Du Zhitu had learned from the people that the three border cities were attacked at the same time. The murderer, without even thinking about it, must be the Tang Gang, and only the Tang Gang.
