The Tang Gang's raid on Du Mansion, which shocked the Banyue Continent, was concluded in such a dramatic and hasty manner.
Just as Du Ziwei expected, the Du Mansion had finally cleared up all ties with Tang Zhiwei's assassination. However, the strength displayed by the Tang Gang this time was still far beyond what the Du Mansion expected.
Even though the Du Mansion had made preparations long ago, it not only evacuated the relatively important Du Mansion disciples, but also recalled the city lords of various cities in turn, emphasizing on strengthening defense, especially the joint defense of the cities behind the border.
However, the losses suffered by the Du Mansion this time were still considerable. Fortunately, the disciples who were injured or killed were mostly ordinary disciples and were not considered very important in the manor.

Magic Valley.
After Gu Zhikun returned to the Demon Valley and brought back the good news of the Elders' Assembly, a message came from the Du Mansion following a flying pigeon. Du Xuan's lingering worries were finally settled, and he could practice with peace of mind without external worries.
The Banyue Continent is a big world, and the canyon of the Demon Valley is indeed a small world. Naturally, most of the talk among the disciples of the Demon Valley after dinner is about various new and major events in the outside world.
The battle between the Tang Gang and the Du Mansion was an even more sensational event. People were shocked by the strength of the Tang Gang, and they did not dare to underestimate the Du Mansion, which has been a family for thousands of years. Although the Du Mansion was not as grand as in the past, it could still resist the Tang Gang's attacks.
The attack really made many people lament that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Many ordinary disciples who had originally gathered around the disciples of the Tang Gang naturally respected Tang Xueyi and others at this time. Other ordinary disciples who were vacillating also vaguely showed their kindness to Tang Xueyi and other Tang Gang disciples.
Most people still keep Du Xuan at a respectful distance, neither provoking nor getting close to him. The Du family is a big family and has the strength to resist the attack of the Tang Gang. Naturally, no ordinary disciple dares to provoke Du Xuan.
But Du Xuan is a family disciple with no prospects at all. He will definitely have no status in the Du family in the future, so no one is willing to take the initiative to get close to him. Including those who were originally instructed by the clan to interact with Du Xuan more
The Shawang Sect and Sunjiabao disciples who were walking around did not want to get close to Du Xuan.
The Demon Valley looks like this on the surface, but secretly it is another story.
The Tang Gang immediately sent a letter to Tang Xueyi, asking him to investigate secretly to see if he could find any clues about Tang Zhiwei's assassination.
Other families, such as the Shawang Sect, Sunjiapu and Shangguange, also sent letters to their disciples in the Demon Valley to pay attention to this matter. Everyone wants to know who is so bold and dares to assassinate the disciples of the Tang Gang and frame the blame.
In Dufu, he wanted to provoke civil strife in ASEAN.
For a time, the undercurrent in the Demon Valley was turbulent again, and the intangible smoke of war was rising again.
However, as a major force in ASEAN, this Demon Valley has never been truly peaceful.
In the world, no one can be alone.
Du Xuan was originally a lively person, but now, he was forced by fate to become a silent and pure person. He was not in trouble at home, and he could naturally cultivate quietly.
On this day, Du Xuan got up in the morning after exercising and had just finished breakfast in his courtyard when there was a knock on the door. Du Xuan thought it was the servant who came to pick up the dinner plate today and came a little early.
"Senior Brother Shi Fang?" Du Xuan opened the door and saw that the person coming was Shi Fang. He couldn't help but be startled and said, "Come in quickly."
Shi Fang smiled calmly, stepped in, saw the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard that had not yet been cleared away, and said, "Oh, it's really an unlucky time for me to come. Junior brother is still eating?"
"I've just finished eating, come in and sit down." Du Xuan said, trying to lead Shi Fang to sit down at the stone table.
"No." Shi Fang waved his hand and said, "I'm here to inform you that a disciple finally accepts your challenge today."
"Really? Very good! I will go with you right now." It turned out to be such a good thing, Du Xuan immediately made a move to go to the magic house.
However, Shi Fang stopped the excited Du Xuan and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Du Xuan was stunned and looked at Shi Fang in confusion.
Shi Fang sighed softly and said: "Although there is finally a disciple to accept your challenge, it is a disciple from Group A."
But Du Xuan didn't care at all, and immediately said: "No problem! Anyone can come, let's go."
Shi Fang still had no intention of taking a step. Du Xuan looked confused and said impatiently: "What other questions are there?"
Shi Fang grinned and said: "There is no problem. It's just that firstly, this person is a disciple of Group A, and secondly, he has been in Group A for five years. Two years ago, his cultivation level was already level four.
He is a high-grade magician. As for his current cultivation level, no one knows. More importantly, he also majors in magic fighting. Moreover, since he entered the Demon Valley, he has never lost to anyone in magic fighting.
"
Hearing this, Du Xuan was shocked.
Not only is this person's cultivation far superior to his own, he is also majoring in Demon Fighting, and his attainments in Demon Fighting are definitely far better than those disciples who only minor in Demon Fighting.
Seeing Du Xuan's surprised look, Shi Fang added, "So, let me just forget about this competition. The gap in cultivation is too big."
"No." Du Xuan just thought for a moment, then shook his head and said firmly, "I have never encountered any opponent. Today is just an eye-opener. Senior brother, let's go!"
Shi Fang thought for a moment and realized that Du Xuan was right. He was not lacking in magic skills anyway, but he thought that the children of this family were ordinary disciples and thought too much.
"Okay! Junior brother, I'll go invite him first, and you can go to the magic house by yourself." Shi Fang said.
It turns out that this mysterious disciple from Group A has not arrived yet. It seems that Shi Fang thought that he would not accept the challenge, so he nodded and said: "Okay, thank you, senior brother."
Half a moment later, the magic house.
Du Xuan sat quietly on the square platform, looking forward to this somewhat legendary disciple of Group A. Shi Kai also sat quietly aside, with a smile and some expectation on his lips.
While waiting, Shi Kai had already told Du Xuan some of this man's past.
This man's name is Zhong Nan. He was born in a small village near the Magic Valley. His father was just a hunter in this village. His mother died young, so the father and son made a living by hunting and depended on each other. Zhong Nan followed his father to the mountains to hunt since he was a child.
I'm used to seeing things naturally.
When Zhong Nan was eighteen years old, he went hunting with his father in the mountains. It was said that the harvest was not good that day, but the sky was getting dark. The father and son had no choice but to prepare to go down the mountain, but at this moment, a wild wolf appeared in their sight.
middle.
Naturally, they would not take the initiative to provoke wild wolves, because wolves usually go out in groups. However, this wild wolf did not intend to let them go. Perhaps, this wolf had not eaten for several days.
As expected, this wild wolf attracted more than a dozen wild wolves. The father and son were no match for each other, and they were about to be killed by the wolf. An uncle who was about to return to the Demon Valley passed by and came to the rescue.
However, the strength of the demon cultivator is far inferior to that of the martial arts cultivator, so although Zhong Nan was rescued, his father was still unfortunately killed. Helpless, the kind-hearted uncle of the Demon Valley took Zhong Nan back to the Demon Valley and kindly gave him
A magic pill.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Nan turned out to be an excellent demon cultivator, and he successfully passed the Gu exam a year later. The Uncle Mo Gu who rescued Zhong Nan also became Zhong Nan's master.
Later, Zhong Nan even passed all the way and was promoted to Group A. However, on the path of magic cultivation, Zhong Nan also paranoidly chose to major in magic fighting.
Zhong Nan majored in magic fighting and had a withdrawn personality. He didn't like to communicate with others. He was also a weirdo in the magic valley. Because of this, Du Xuan only knew that there was such a character in the magic valley.
At this time, there was a burst of noise outside the magic house.
After a while, Shi Fang and a lean and dark man appeared in front of Du Xuan. Following them, there were dozens of people.
Du Xuan looked at the lean and dark man, who must be Zhong Nan. Zhong Nan seemed to have a tacit understanding, and he kept staring at Du Xuan after entering the room.
"Junior Brother Du Xuan." Shi Fang walked to the square platform and introduced, "This is Senior Brother Zhong Nan."
"Du Xuan has met senior brother." Du Xuan said with a smile and cupped his hands, but he felt a little good in his heart.
Zhong Nan cupped his hands, forced a smile, showed a few white teeth, and said: "Junior brother."
"Haha." Several laughters suddenly came from the crowd. Looking around, I saw Long Wanshan squeezing forward from the crowd.
Du Xuan grinned and said, "Senior Brother Long is here too."
"Please give way, give way." Long Wanshan finally squeezed to the front and said with a smile, "Senior brother, how can I miss such a good show?"
Du Xuan knew in his heart that Zhong Nan had never been invincible in magic fighting in the Demon Valley for ten years. And recently, he was regarded as a new master in magic fighting in the Demon Valley. He launched a promotion challenge in the Demon House and no one responded for more than a month.
, then you can know a thing or two.
It was precisely because of this that Zhong Nan, who had been silent for several years, finally couldn't help but take action.
"Junior brother, this Senior Brother Zhong is many times more powerful than me. You have to be careful." Long Wanshan reminded him kindly.
In the Demon Valley, Long Wanshan is one of the few disciples that Du Xuan has a good impression of. Ever since the two fought against each other twice, they have often sparred together.
However, the more they competed, the bigger the gap became. After all, Long Wanshan was a master of medicine, and he couldn't be like Du Xuan who only focused on fighting demons.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother." Du Xuan nodded and smiled, then looked at Zhong Nan and said, "It is an honor for me to compete with senior brother Zhong, so I will naturally do my best."
Zhong Nan didn't say much at all. He thought for a while and said calmly: "Junior brother, this competition is unfair. But no one dares to accept your promotion challenge so far, so senior brother has no choice but to come and meet. In this way, senior brother, I will cultivate my skills."
It's already much higher, and it would be unfair to you if I use the Desolate Han Colored Jade. So, I'll just use the first three moves from the Elephant Demon Book."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Du Xuan was a little surprised, many of the dozens of people behind him couldn't help but exclaimed. However, Shi Kai and Shi Fang didn't seem surprised. And among the people behind, there were also some
A few people were calm and composed.
Humility again!
Du Xuan felt a little displeased, and said with his hands raised: "Senior brother, there is no fairness or unfairness in promotion challenges. Besides, this challenge is initiated by my junior brother, and anyone can take up the challenge. Therefore, senior brother, you should use your best magic weapon.
Bar."
This time, those who were surprised were no longer surprised, while those who were calm were surprised.
