It was Gu Jinxuan's first time climbing a mountain, and it was really good to achieve such results.
However, the day's exercise was still affected to some extent. Gu Jinxuan's fatigue was naturally noticed by Wumen's enlightenment master, and he was also suspicious, so he naturally went to Gu Yan to ask.
But Gu Yan didn't say much. He just said that Gu Jinxuan had been exercising at night recently, so he was a little tired and would be fine in a few days. It seemed that Gu Yan chose to trust Du Xuan for the time being.
After all, this Du Xuan was a former martial arts genius, a twelve-year-old martial arts practitioner.
Things went just as Du Xuan expected, and just as Xie Ming and Long Wanshan did. Gu Jinxuan only climbed the mountain for seven days in a row, and she was already able to cope with it, including training during the day.
Seeing this, Gu Yan was naturally very happy and ordered the kitchen to add special dishes every day. After working hard, Gu Jinxuan's appetite naturally increased greatly.
As for the magical weapon against the sky that was originally promised, Gu Yan also began to prepare it. Even if Gu Jinxuan still failed to pass the martial arts test, Gu Yan had no complaints and was still preparing to refine the magical weapon against the sky for Du Xuan.
The Demon Valley is as orderly and peaceful as usual. The rare disharmony is just an inconspicuous episode, passing by in the wind without leaving any trace.
However, the turbulent undercurrent in this half-moon continent has never stopped. Now, there are even signs of intensifying. ASEAN, which has been peaceful for hundreds of years, may be just a brief calm before the storm.

Jingwu City.
This ancient city that has existed for thousands of years has experienced too many ups and downs. The mottled city walls reveal its vicissitudes of life and are full of the baptism of endless wind and frost.
The huge city, bustling markets, and noisy crowds are no less than those in the Magic City thousands of miles away. Just like the Magic City, the city has a dazzling array of restaurants, covering almost every corner of the city, welcoming thousands of passers-by.
.
Among them is a restaurant called "Xiaoyao Restaurant", located at the bustling downtown street in the southwest of the city. Xiaoyao Restaurant is of high quality, not inferior to the Yulong Restaurant in Shanghai. Moreover, most of the people who patronize this place are those with status and status.
Martial arts practitioner.
On this day, it was only early in the morning, and Xiaoyao Building had already received three or five groups of guests. But usually, it is usually in the afternoon that guests come one after another.
The waiter in the restaurant greeted the guests with great enthusiasm, arranged food, drinks and guest rooms for them with great interest.
The more customers there are, the more money they will get. Of course, the waiters will be more motivated. However, the experienced shopkeeper of the restaurant faintly smelled something unusual, but he couldn't place it at the moment.
The few groups of customers in the early morning were just a prelude to the show. By the afternoon, Xiaoyao Building was already full of customers. However, other restaurants that were only one street away from Xiaoyao Building had just begun to have customers check in.
However, even though Xiaoyao Building is full, guests still come from time to time, and the shopkeeper and the waiter have to explain a lot. After all, most of the visitors have status, and the shopkeeper and the waiter can't afford to offend them.
Slowly, Xiaoyao Building became full of customers, and the business of the nearby restaurants also picked up. In the evening, several restaurants near Xiaoyao Building were also filled with customers one after another.
Today is not a big day, so why is business so surprisingly good?
Many shopkeepers who are older and have some experience feel uneasy, as if something big is about to happen, but they can't figure it out, so they can only watch and wait quietly.
It was late at night, and the noisy Jingwu City during the day gradually fell silent. The quiet night enveloped and occupied every corner of the city.
Suddenly, I saw candlelight flickering in a guest room on the second floor of Xiaoyao Building. Five figures were surrounding the candlelight on the table, with deep expressions. One of them, an elderly man, had a knotted brow that had never relaxed.
.
"Second Uncle, we have all arrived at Jingwu City. No one would dare to take action here." The speaker was a huge man with a strong back and a thick waist, thick brows, thick stubble, and a rugged appearance. His name was Long.
Xiaofeng.
"That's right." Another person immediately agreed. This person was called Long Xiaoyun, but he was handsome, gentle and elegant. There was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, but he was just a little immature. "This is the territory of Wumen. I'm sorry.
No one dares to be presumptuous here."
The other two people also nodded slightly, both looking at the eldest of the five.
"Why!"
This older man's name is Long Hai, he is probably over forty years old, and he is also the leader of these people. There are several traces of time on his face that shows a bit of vicissitudes of life.
After sighing, Long Hai shook his head slightly and said: "Although we have arrived at Jingwu City safely, we can also ask to see the elders of Wumen tomorrow. But the more this happens, the more panic I feel in my heart."
Long Hai paused and then said: "This matter is not a trivial matter. All martial arts practitioners in the world covet it. It's better for us to be careful."
"Second Uncle." The only woman among the five frowned slightly, her face seemed a little dissatisfied, "This is just a map, and it is incomplete. Even if we hide in the house, there will be nothing wrong. Besides,
If we collect the remaining maps in the future, maybe we can get the secret book and become one of the ASEAN elders in one fell swoop!"
"That's right." Long Xiaoyun, who had a delicate and arrogant look just now, immediately nodded in agreement.
Clinker, Long Hai, who was called his second uncle, suddenly turned dark and said angrily: "Confused! Not to mention that I hope Long Xuan can collect the entire map. Even if he is lucky enough to get the secret book and is surrounded by all the heroes in the world, how can he tolerate it?
Let's practice with peace of mind. Although this thing is a priceless treasure, it is a disaster rather than a blessing. If we are lucky and careless, there is a danger of annihilation of the clan."
"But……"
What else did the handsome Long Xiaoyun want to argue, but Long Hai suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted: "No need to say any more! Master Xuan and the elders have already made a decision. We can just safely send this hot potato to Wumen.
"
After Long Hai finished speaking, he looked around at the crowd. Seeing that they were no longer talking, he added: "Each of us should find a place to meditate. Let's not sleep today. We just need to persevere through tonight."
After saying this, Long Hai blew out the candle in one breath.
The room was dark, and the five people quietly dispersed and found a random place to sit cross-legged and meditate with their eyes closed.
The hustle and bustle of Xiaoyao Tower disappeared during the day, and the candlelight gradually faded. In the end, only the single lantern at the gate was left, still standing in the darkness.
The crescent moon shines high in the night sky, but there are no stars.
Occasionally, a wisp of autumn wind swept up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, and a faint rustling sound could be heard. A dog barked in the distance. Even though it was far away, it seemed particularly clear in the silent night.
Suddenly, in the night illuminated by the faint moonlight, a dozen figures suddenly appeared! These figures walked very fast, stepping on the roof of the building, and arrived in front of Xiaoyao Tower in a few breaths.
This scene is just the tip of the iceberg.
In other directions, several groups of people also appeared one after another, all of them rushing towards Xiaoyao Tower without exception.
At this time, the five people who were looking at Longxuan were still quietly sitting cross-legged in the room, recuperating.
Suddenly, in the corridor on the second floor of Xiaoyao Building, a door opened slightly. Then a black shadow came out. The shadow looked around warily, then waved his hand towards the room, and several black shadows immediately followed him.
In just a few breaths, two more room doors opened one after another, and several figures also came out.
These black figures were all startled. After looking at each other, they simultaneously looked at the room where the five Wanglongxuan people were.
At this moment, Long Hai suddenly opened his eyes!
Then, the others opened their eyes one after another.
"There is an enemy!" Long Hai shouted suddenly, took out a spear, and immediately rushed to the door with a single arrow step, ready to stand ready.
The remaining four people were not slow, each holding a spear and standing behind the dragon sea, the five of them stood in a pentagon.
Almost at the same time, the three groups of figures outside the room no longer had any scruples or caution, but quickly rushed towards the room where Wang Longxuan was.
"Not good!" Hearing the footsteps outside, Long Hai was shocked and frowned. There were many people outside and their cultivation levels were not low. He hurriedly turned around and said, "You guys leave quickly! Jump out of the window!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly smashed into pieces by several sword lights.
Long Hai suddenly swung his spear and kicked his feet to fly backwards for several steps. The four people behind him did not hesitate, they all broke out of the window and jumped down.
Nearly twenty figures appeared in front of Long Hai like an overwhelming force. Long Hai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his spear and struck out several cold waves.
Ding ding ding!
The black figures rushing in front reacted very quickly, and could easily block them with a swing of a knife or a sword. But Long Hai took the opportunity to jump out of the window, not daring to fight at all.
As soon as Long Hai jumped out of the window, he saw more men in black outside, surrounding his four disciples.
Long Hai secretly said "It's over" and landed next to the disciple who was surrounded by black shadows.
At this time, nearly twenty figures on the second floor also jumped out of the window one after another and joined the team surrounding the five Wanglongxuan people. These black figures, numbering nearly a hundred in number, overwhelmed the weak Wanglongxuan five people.
People surrounded him.
Long Hai looked at the dense crowd of people in black, his back soaked with cold sweat. The other four people were not much better, their eyes were full of fear.
Long Hai swallowed his saliva and bravely raised his hands and said: "I'm looking down at Longxuan Long Hai. I'm here at the invitation of the elders of Wumen. I don't know if Long Hai has offended you unintentionally. I hope you will make it clear."
"Want to hand over the Great Compassion to Wumen? Humph! Give it to me immediately, and I will spare your life." A person in the black shadow said coldly.
Sure enough, he came here for the map, but it seems that the news was leaked.
However, now there is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and there is no chance of escape. If we don't hand over the map, we may not survive tomorrow, Long Hai sighed helplessly in his heart.
In such a situation, the five Long Hai people had no power to resist.
Just as he was about to hand over the map to save his life, unexpectedly, another person in the shadow said calmly: "Leave it to me to save your life."
Hearing this, Long Hai was shocked. Could it be that these men in black were not the same family? Sure enough, Long Hai looked carefully and saw that these black shadows were faintly divided into ten groups.
Now we are in trouble. No matter which group of men in black, the five of them cannot afford to offend them.
