Liu Yunfei and Qin Wuxian walked side by side, shuttling between the streets and alleys of the town, their eyes like sharp sword tips, sweeping every corner, looking for traces of the 'Shadow Gate'. Shen Bixia followed closely, although she was worried in her heart, she had a determined expression on her face, she knew that at this critical moment, she couldn't back down.
As night fell, the three of them came to a deep valley on the edge of the town. As far as Qin Wuxian knew, this was once a place where the 'Shadow Gate' had frequent activities. The valley was silent, save for the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
As they cautiously explored, a dark shadow suddenly struck from the shadows, so fast that it was almost unpredictable. Liu Yunfei reacted extremely quickly, drew his sword out of the sheath, and blocked the incoming hidden weapon with a sword. Not to be outdone, Qin Wuxian unsheathed his long sword and fought side by side with Liu Yunfei.
However, the Black Shadow did not seem to intend to confront them head-on, and disappeared into the night as soon as he missed. Liu Yunfei frowned, he knew that such an opponent was the most difficult, and the people of the 'Shadow Gate' were really not to be underestimated.
The three of them continued deeper into the valley when suddenly a small cry for help reached their ears. They followed the sound and found a woman dressed in lilac being besieged by several men in black. The woman is extraordinary, and the soft sword in her hand dances like a snake out of a hole, but she is obviously powerless.
Liu Yunfei and Qin Wuxian did not hesitate to join the battle group immediately. After a fierce fight, the men in black saw that the situation was not good, and they retreated one after another. The rescued woman bowed deeply to the three of them, and her gratitude was overflowing: "In Xia Zixuan, thank you for the life-saving grace of the three." ”
Zixuan's appearance brought new clues to Liu Yunfei and them. It turned out that she was also a martial arts person who came to this valley to investigate in pursuit of the 'Shadow Gate'. Zi Xuan revealed that the 'Shadow Gate' seemed to be looking for an ancient martial arts cheat, and this cheat had a great connection with Liujiazhuang.
Liu Yunfei was shocked in his heart, he had never heard his father mention such a cheat. But he understood that if the 'Shadow Gate' obtained this secret book, it would have an immeasurable impact on the entire martial arts.
The four of them decided to put aside their suspicions for a while and work together to fight the threat of the Shadow Gate. They found a hidden cave in the valley and decided to take refuge here while they deliberated on countermeasures.
In the cave, Zixuan tells the crowd more about the Shadow Gate, including their organizational structure, their style, and possible hiding places. Liu Yunfei and the others listened attentively, and they knew that this struggle had just begun.
In the valley, the firelight flickered, and four young figures sat together, their eyes firm, their hearts full of uncertainty about the future, but more of a belief in justice. They know that the next few days will be a contest between life and death, good and evil. And all of this quietly kicked off in this valley.
