Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Jingzhou.

Before dawn, when the red sun is setting but has not yet risen, it is the darkest time of the day.

On the back hill of Kunwu Mountain.

Whoosh!

Facing the howling morning breeze, Fang Xuan was slowly doing boxing.

Whenever he had free time, he liked to practice boxing. This habit had been formed in Pingjiang County. He had not practiced boxing for a long time after entering the realm of divine wandering, but after reaching the realm of transcendence, he picked up this habit again.

Of course, in addition to boxing, there is also reading and writing.

No one's life is just about practice. He used to advocate hard practice and always followed it without compromise. But after understanding the order of heaven and earth, he found that warriors are born in heaven and earth, so they should pay more attention to following nature and their hearts.

Call ~
He slowly drew up his fists, and his slow movements seemed to contain the great principles of heaven and earth. As Fang Xuan's fists changed, the surrounding heaven and earth were also changing.

At a certain moment, Fang Xuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance at the still dark night. He saw endless flames gathering from between heaven and earth, and an indescribable aura flashed between heaven and earth.

Fang Xuan slowly withdrew his momentum, and a mountain and avenue seemed to flash through the depths of his eyes:
"Following the heaven and earth, feeling the way of heaven, this is the true way of martial arts."

"It is better to take the Way of Heaven as the Way of Martial Arts than to take yourself as the Way of Martial Arts!"

Green light swept across.

"Using the Way of Heaven to condense your own martial arts, Fang Xuan, you have given me another unimaginable surprise!"

Ruan Hong stood on the tree branch like a bluebird, looking at Fang Xuan below with a smile on his face, whose momentum was slowly fading.

Fang Xuan retracted his fist and smiled back, "Senior Ruan Hong."

The two stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the sun slowly rising in the distance.

After a moment's silence, Fang Xuan said softly, "Senior Ruan Hong, it's not that I don't want to enter the Taichu Secret Realm as soon as possible, but I have something more important to do. That day I..."

Without waiting for Fang Xuan to finish, Ruan Hong spread his hands and said, "It's okay. I'm here to keep the Taichu Secret Realm in check. There won't be any problems for the time being."

"But now there is a more difficult matter, I think you should know."

Fang Xuan glanced sideways with a puzzled look.

Ruan Hong was so serious, but I wonder what big thing had happened?
Ruan Hong took out something from his arms. It was covered in a light blue light and even had a faint smell of blood.

"This is."

Ruan Hong looked solemn: "Something happened in Zhongzhou, the wall guards left without permission!"

"AWOL?"

Fang Xuan was stunned. After knowing the existence of the wall guards, it was the first time he heard of the wall guards leaving without permission!

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Senior Ruan Hong, where is the Zhenlong Well in Zhongzhou?"

Ruan Hong smiled faintly and said casually: "It used to be the land of Xuanmen, but now it is in Taixuan Sect."

Taixuan Sect. Fang Xuan was shocked, "Could it be inside the Taixuan Sect's sky cave?"

"Yes, yes, it is actually a deep pool. In order to open up the Zhenlong Well, I pierced through that piece of heaven and earth with one finger, and modified the order of heaven and earth in that place. I heard that the place is now regarded as the holy land of Taixuan Sect, and many people go there to seek opportunities."

Ruan Hong laughed nonchalantly and continued, "Although Zhenlongjing is guarded by wall guards, over the past thousands of years, it is inevitable that the evil spirit will leak out. If an outsider enters, he will die."

"A bunch of third-rate warriors practicing magic arrays, they don't know their own limits."

Thinking of Pei Maoyuan and the people of Taixuan Sect, Fang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Since you know, why didn't you remind them?"

Ruan Hong smiled, "Why should I remind you?"

"Even when Taixuan Sect was at its peak, they were not worthy of knowing about Zhenlongjing."

After muttering a few words, Ruan Hong said seriously: "Fang Xuan, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Zhongzhou. I will try my best to buy time for you."

“If the two Zhenlongjing lose their orderly support, we may not even have five years.”

After solemnly informing Fang Xuan, Ruan Hong did not stay in the back mountain for long.

Fang Xuan felt mixed emotions. Although he knew some secrets that Ruan Hong didn't know, the responsibility shouldered by this rather stubborn and casual old man was no less important than his own.

Looking at Ruan Hong's figure gradually disappearing into the sky, Fang Xuan murmured: "Only one month?"

Jinjiang City, Gu Chengxuan is here.

Although the news was released, he did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

It took the entire Jinjiang City spider web half a day to find Gu Chengxuan in a restaurant in the east of the city.

In the room, Fang Li smiled and saluted, "General, you came here unexpectedly, but you hid in this simple place. How much do you not trust me?"

Gu Chengxuan glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he walked to the window and looked out at the street for a moment with purpose. Then he turned around and walked to the desk, picked up the pen on the table and started writing and drawing.

Fang Li remained calm. Yixiantian immediately felt that Gu Chengxuan looked down on him, so he stepped forward and asked sternly, "General Gu, are you here to insult us on purpose?!"

pat!

Gu Chengxuan casually dropped the pen in his hand on the table, and the ink on the pen smudged the tabletop. He leaned back in his chair and said solemnly, "You were able to find my hiding place within half a day, and you made such a tight defense. General Fang is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"The Dragon Whale Army's spider web is even more admirable!"

Yixiantian glanced at the paper on the table. The places marked by Gu Chengxuan with ink turned out to be all the defenses of the Dragon Whale Army outside the restaurant.

Even the locations of the spies along the way were specially marked.

Yixiantian's heart suddenly tightened, and when he looked at Gu Chengxuan again, his eyes had changed drastically!
Fang Li looked calm.

Being called by Dayang as the person with the greatest hope of reviving Dayang, if he didn't have this ability, he even felt that Wanzhou should not have existed for so long.

Then he walked to the gambling table and tried to ask, "General, do you have any instructions for me?"

The relaxed smile on Gu Chengxuan's face disappeared immediately. "I came here this time to lead the entire Dayang to join you. Please arrange a place for us to spend the rest of our lives."

"To surrender to me?" Fang Li was slightly startled, then said with a smile: "General, you are joking. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. I am all ears."

Gu Chengxuan said slowly: "Dayang has run out of luck. Even I can't do anything about it. But Li Nan is a good kid. I don't want the last bloodline of Dayang to be destroyed in my hands."

"The curse of the changing dynasties for six hundred years cannot be reversed by my own strength."

"And I came here this time to see with my own eyes whether the most famous Dragon Whale Army in Kyushu is as desirable as the rumors say."

"Now I can only say that I am convinced!"

"Are you surrendering for Emperor Xiaozong?" Fang Li was puzzled and asked, "General, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

Gu Chengxuan said: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Fang Li waved his hand and explained: "General Baisheng, you shouldn't be so unconfident. You haven't really fought with my Dragon Whale Army yet, so how can you know that you have no chance?"

Gu Chengxuan suddenly felt his teeth itching, "So, do you think we still have a chance?"

Fang Li shook his head seriously: "You don't stand a chance if you go to war with my Dragon Whale Army!" Gu Chengxuan's eyes widened immediately. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha, General Fang of the Dragon Whale Army is such a funny person."

"I will have someone come to discuss the peace talks another day."

After saying that, Gu Chengxuan stood up and was about to leave.

Fang Li suddenly said in a stern voice: "General Gu, it's a matter of surrender!"

Gu Chengxuan's expression changed slightly. He stared at Fang Li for a while, then shook his head and left.

Gu Chengxuan had already disappeared on the street. Yixiantian hurriedly said to Fang Li, "Should we keep him in Jinjiang City? Without Gu Chengxuan, Wanzhou will be completely defenseless!"

Sikong Jihuai rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows, saying, "General Fang, whether Wanzhou really surrendered and whether it was sincere is still under discussion."

Fang Li nodded seriously, looking at the paper on the table that was slowly fluttering in the wind, "Notify General An that the Dragon Guards will assist the Yanzhou garrison and strictly guard the Wanzhou border."

"Also, let's remove the spider web in Wanzhou!"

Only Fang Li knew that in addition to the defenses in Jinjiang City, the paper also showed the location of Spider Web's secret agents planted in Wanzhou City.

Gu Chengxuan got up today not only to discuss surrender, but more to test the strength of the Dragon Whale Army.

The response speed of the Dragon Whale Army and all the situations in Jinjiang City were all within his sight within just half a day.

However, judging from Gu Chengxuan's attitude when he left, the Dragon Whale Army shocked him.

Above the vast wilderness, the red sun shines across the sky, spreading endless brilliance.

In a corner of the boundless earth, countless steep mountains rise from the ground and soar into the sky, thousands or even tens of thousands of feet high.

Between the mountains and on the land, there are towering trees everywhere that even several people cannot successfully hug.

Countless monsters roamed among the mountains, and sometimes the roars of powerful monsters shook the mountains and forests.

Sky,

The earth,

mountains
This vast land exudes an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

And this place turned out to be a deserted place in Yanzhou.

There is a small village beside the mountains.

The bright sunshine illuminates the sky.

There are many people in the small village, including burly men doing morning exercises, men yawning on duty, and young children playing in the village.

But no matter who they are, their every move can actually cause a magical power fluctuation between heaven and earth.

Soon, the red sun hung high in the sky.

An old man walked out of the thatched cottage in the middle. He kept shouting and chanting towards the red sun in the sky. A golden light gradually appeared in a simple square formation in the village. Not long after, the corpse of an unknown monster emerged.

After seeing the monster, everyone in the village started dancing around and cheering for each other!
"This demon beast has actually touched the essence of divine wandering!"

On the top of the mountains, Fang Xuan and Lingxi were quietly looking at the village in the distance.

Following the map given by Di Jun, they unexpectedly discovered such a secluded place in Yanzhou.

The monsters that had long been extinct in Jiuzhou and these villages that seemed to be built like those of the ancients all shocked the two men.

"This place is not simple." Fang Xuan nodded seriously, looking down at the surroundings with a dim gaze.

On a map in his hand, there was another place marked by a black mark. On it was not only a small talisman, but also a small toad-like head.

"Life and death, the rotation of heaven and earth, I wonder what the thing that is suppressed by this great way is?" Lingxi glanced at the map with a serious expression.

Fang Xuan smiled softly and said, "Brother Niu, do you also understand magic arrays?"

Lingxi shook his head honestly.

Fang Xuan was puzzled and said, "This formation is not simple. Even many people in Taixuan Sect cannot see it clearly. You can actually see the mystery in it. Old Niu, it turns out that you have been hiding your abilities all along!"

Lingxi rubbed his stubble-covered chin and said honestly: "Hehe, I have been suppressed by this kind of magic array before, but it was only a prototype."

The smile on Fang Xuan's lips froze.

It turns out that this is all based on experience!

After this interlude, Fang Xuan suddenly felt puzzled and said, "Since this formation is flowing with the great way, the death energy should not be so strong."

Lingxi looked at the place marked on the map. The vegetation between the mountains should have been growing extremely lushly, just like the surrounding peaks. At this moment, it indeed formed a sharp contrast.

The deathly aura that permeated between the mountains caused them to appear gray and hazy. The deathly aura visible to the naked eye spread over tens of thousands of miles. All vegetation was withered wherever the eye could see.

"Maybe it has something to do with this small village. Should we go in and ask?" Lingxi thought for a moment and suggested.

Fang Xuan nodded slightly.

Two figures, wrapped in two golden lights, instantly passed across the sky.

In the village, the monsters sacrificed by the square formation were made into sumptuous food in the simplest and rustic way after the villagers' enthusiastic chanting.

The first few men who had eaten the monster meat came to the village entrance to stand guard.

When they saw two figures appear in their sight, they all showed expressions of horror.

"people!?"

After they exchanged a brief look, they stepped forward and stopped the newcomers.

"Uluru, the wheel of destiny."

Hearing several people shouting at them, although Fang Xuan did not understand, he could tell from the look in their eyes that they were forbidden to enter this place.

While he was thinking about how to explain, Lingxi's voice rang softly in Fang Xuan's ears: "They are actually speaking the ancient demon language. Let me negotiate with them!"

Then, Lingxi took a step forward, stretched out his hands and waved them to prove that he had no ill intentions.

Then they started to communicate with each other in gibberish.

During this time, Fang Xuan kept looking at the people in front of him.

They are indeed all mortals, without even a trace of energy fluctuations in their bodies, but these beings, who are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, can actually survive in these mountains.

Moreover, where did the corpses of monsters they ate come from?

A monster of that level would definitely cause quite a stir even if it were placed in the entire world of Jiuzhou!

The secrets hidden this time may be more than what you can see with your naked eyes now!
After a while, Lingxi made a gesture to Fang Xuan, saying softly:

"They asked us to enter the village first. We can only ask their chief if we want to know something!" (End of this chapter)
