Senior Shi looked into the distance thoughtfully and said calmly, "The Misty Valley has always been one of the sources of unusual movements in the martial arts world. There are too many unknown secrets hidden there. Many years ago, I heard a legend that the power there could affect the entire martial arts world."

"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yanwan's eyes.

"Wow, this is too legendary, right?" Lu Wenjin, who was riding on a horse, blinked, obviously aroused by the answer.

At this moment, a young servant among the passers-by couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "Speaking of which, what kind of place is Misty Valley? How come I have never heard of it?"

"It's true that few people mention it, but it is a mysterious place in the martial arts world." Another passerby took over the conversation, "I heard that the place is shrouded in thick fog all year round. It is difficult for people who get lost in it to find their way out."

"Is it really that scary?" The servant was shocked. "That's really incredible."

Li Changkong, who had been silent nearby, suddenly turned around and smiled at them: "Don't worry, although the rumors are scary, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to find a bright future."

Senior Shi nodded and added: "The most important thing is the firm belief in our hearts. The Black Shadow Gang is just a pawn in the underworld, and what we have to face is a deeper conspiracy."

"That's right!" Jiang Yanwan gripped the reins tightly, her eyes burning with anger. "No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we will not back down."

"Look, that seems to be the entrance to the Misty Valley." Lu Wenjin suddenly pointed forward. In the morning light, a valley shrouded in thick fog could be vaguely seen.

"We're finally here." Li Changkong said softly, with a surge of ambition in his heart.

Just as everyone was about to enter the valley, a villager hurriedly caught up and said, panting, "Heroes, please be careful! Many old people here said that the valley is full of unknown dangers."

"Thank you very much for your kindness. We will pay attention to it." Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and clasped her fists in thanks.

"Yes, as long as we work together, we will be able to find the direction even if we get lost in the fog." Lu Wenjin was full of confidence, and at the same time looked back at the villagers and waved to them.

"May God bless you!" The voices of the villagers echoed behind them, turning into an invisible force that pushed everyone forward.

As the team entered the Misty Valley, the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, as if they were in a dreamland. The air was filled with a faint dampness that made people shiver.

"This fog is incredibly thick." Jiang Yanwan frowned and used her hands to block the mist that was blowing towards her face.

"But precisely because of this, it is more likely that there are secrets hidden here that we need to explore." Senior Shi's voice was not loud, but it revealed a firm strength.

Just as everyone was cautiously going deeper into the valley, suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds broke the silence. A group of cavalry rushed out of the fog, obviously ambushed.

"Retreat quickly!" Li Changkong shouted hurriedly and quickly led everyone to retreat.

However, the enemy had a large number of people and soon surrounded them. In the chaos, a cavalry leader sneered: "You have walked into a trap. No one will leave alive today!"

"Hmph, not necessarily!" Lu Wenjin shouted angrily, and went forward with Jiang Yanwan to meet the enemy.

Others also drew their weapons, vowing to fight these ambushers to the death. A fierce battle unfolded in the fog, with swords flashing and swords flashing, and passers-by screaming one after another.

"Where are those people from?" A frightened passerby hid behind a rock and whispered to his companion.

"I don't know, but they don't look like good people." Another person gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know how these heroes should deal with it."

At the most critical moment, Elder Shi suddenly raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes. He waved his sword to block several enemies who were attacking him, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Don't be afraid, victory will eventually belong to us!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Yanwan and others became more morale-boosted. At once, they all tried their best to gradually turn the tide of the battle.

Li Changkong took advantage of the enemy's dispersion and quickly approached the enemy leader, saying coldly: "Tell me, why are you lying in ambush here?"

However, the other party just laughed sinisterly: "Haha, since we have come to Misty Valley, I have no intention of letting you leave alive."

"Then let you see what our strength is." Jiang Yanwan took the opportunity to attack the enemy leader from behind, and pressed her sword directly against his vital points.

Unexpectedly, the other party reacted very quickly, dodged the attack, and showed a cunning look: "Good timing!"

At this critical moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the depths of the fog: "Stop!"

The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and everyone stopped moving and looked towards the source of the sound. A burly middle-aged man walked out slowly, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"Who is this expert?" Li Changkong frowned slightly and pointed the tip of his sword at the person who came.

"I am not an enemy, please be patient." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about the murderous intent around him.

Passersby whispered to each other: "Who is he? He doesn't look like a bad guy."

"Maybe it's a hermit in this Misty Valley?" someone guessed.

Senior Shi looked at the newcomer intently, and finally revealed a trace of surprise: "So it's you."

"It seems that the senior still remembers me." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, with an inexplicable relief on his face.

"Of course I remember. This is where you practiced in those days." Senior Shi seemed to be thinking about something.

Jiang Yanwan and Li Changkong looked at each other, seemingly still unsure of the identity of the visitor. However, Senior Shi did not explain, but just said to the middle-aged man: "Now we meet again, I wonder what you can do for me?"

The middle-aged man looked around and said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. Come with me. I have something to tell you."

Although everyone had doubts, they had no choice but to trust Senior Shi's judgment at this moment and followed the middle-aged man to quickly leave the battlefield.

"Senior, what is the origin of this person?" Jiang Yanwan couldn't help but ask again.

"He is an old acquaintance of mine, you don't need to worry." Senior Shi's tone was a little complicated, but he seemed to be full of trust in the middle-aged man.

When they reached a hidden cave, the middle-aged man stopped and turned to face everyone: "We are temporarily safe now. I know you came here to track down the Black Shadow Gang. In fact, this is a complicated situation with many people involved."

"Who is controlling all this?" Li Changkong asked without hesitation.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "You are here not only because of fate, but also because of your own characteristics. As for the person behind the scenes... maybe he is more dangerous than you think."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the cave, and a hurried voice faintly reached his ears:

"Hurry, hurry up and spread the news! It turns out that place is..."
