On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

The middle-aged man led everyone forward slowly in the fog. It seemed that they could hear whispers from all around, which was chilling. Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly, holding the hilt of the sword, and looked around vigilantly: "Everyone, be careful, there may be an ambush ahead."

"It's these sneaky guys again." Li Changkong snorted coldly, "Do they really think this little trick can scare us!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came out from the thick fog: "How dare you disturb our territory? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Before he finished speaking, several dark figures emerged from the fog like ghosts and quickly surrounded everyone. Each of them had their faces covered, revealing only a pair of cunning and fierce eyes.

Lu Wenjin laughed and drew his sword: "It's a good opportunity for you to see how powerful we are!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy, they must have something to rely on." Senior Shi reminded, while concentrating on observing the opponent's movements.

The masked man in the lead smiled contemptuously: "It seems that you are nothing more than this, leave these small fry to me!"

The two sides were on the verge of a fight. The villagers were nervously whispering to each other:

"Can they really defeat these masters of the Black Shadow Gang?"

"I hope so. I heard that these people are all very skilled in martial arts."

The battle soon broke out. Jiang Yanwan and Li Changkong attacked together, like two lightning bolts shuttling through the shadows, defeating the surrounding enemies at lightning speed. Senior Shi stood guard in the center of the team, using his deep inner strength to intimidate the attackers.

Lu Wenjin forced two enemies to retreat in just a few moves. He shouted proudly: "You rabble, you dare to block our way?"

In the seemingly chaotic situation, the middle-aged man keenly sensed the enemy's flaws and commanded everyone to break the enemy's encirclement. The battle gradually tilted in their favor.

"These guys are really not simple!" said a villager who was watching in admiration.

"Yeah, maybe they can really defeat the Black Shadow Gang."

As time went by, the enemy's offensive gradually weakened. The masked man in the lead said coldly: "I didn't expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve, but don't be too complacent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and all the men in black quickly retreated and disappeared in the thick fog.

"Is there some trap?" Jiang Yanwan became alert and asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Perhaps, they know they can't win, so they are hiding from the limelight for the time being."

Just as everyone was about to move on, a figure walked out of the fog. It was Wu Jian who had separated from them earlier. He seemed to know that they would pass by here, and at this moment he looked at everyone with a complicated expression.

"Wu Jian!" Li Changkong raised his voice, "You are always so elusive, are you an enemy or a friend?"

Wu Jian smiled bitterly: "Some things in this world are not simply divided into friends and enemies. Believe me, if you insist on exploring the secrets of the Black Shadow Gang, I am afraid you will face greater challenges."

Jiang Yanwan stepped forward: "No matter what, we will continue to move forward. If you want, you can go with us."

Wu Jian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, maybe I can give you some help. However, the road ahead will definitely not be smooth."

His joining made everyone feel more at ease, at least it showed that he had no hostility. So, they gathered their strength again and prepared to face the unknown test.

"Let's go. The closer we get to the truth, the more danger becomes." Senior Shi said firmly.

The wind gradually blew away the thick fog, and the whispers among the villagers also dissipated. Everyone knew that this road was destined to be difficult, but for the sake of justice, they had no choice but to retreat.

One villager whispered to his companion, "Do you think they can succeed?"

"Of course, they are our hope." The companion looked determined, "I believe they can solve this mystery."

As everyone entered the new area, a strange voice suddenly came from not far away: "Who's over there? Tell me your name!"

This time, whether it was a friend or an enemy, everyone was full of doubts. However, no matter what was ahead, they were ready.

Everyone walked towards the direction of the sound cautiously, and saw a figure vaguely appearing in the thick fog. The wind blew, and the fog dispersed for a moment, revealing a young man in a blue robe, holding a long sword, and looking at them solemnly.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" The young man's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty.

Jiang Yanwan took a step forward and said calmly: "We are just passing by here and don't want to make enemies with anyone."

The young man frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over everyone like a torch, finally settling on Wu Jian: "Brother Wu, why are you with them?"

Wu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Qing, I'm here to help them this time. The matter here is quite involved, and we need to find out the truth."

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, I won't stop you. However, I advise you to be careful, the Black Shadow Gang is definitely not a good bunch."

"Thanks for the reminder." Li Changkong said gratefully, "I am grateful for the help of my friends along the way."

The villagers passing by slowly approached and saw the young man communicating with everyone, and whispered:

"The man in the blue robe looks unusual."

"Yes, he seems to know Wu Jian, but I don't know where he came from."

Someone had sharp ears and heard Liu Qing's words, and whispered, "It seems that these people have a grudge against the Black Shadow Gang, but those guys are indeed very difficult to deal with."

"Hopefully they can succeed, so our lives will be easier."

Seeing everyone's sincere attitude, Liu Qing nodded slightly and said no more, but his eyes never left Wu Jian. It seemed that he had full trust in him but also had some hidden worries.

The team continued to move forward, and Liu Qing followed silently beside them, like a safety barrier. Everyone's spirits were lifted, and their pace gradually quickened.

Soon, they came to a small village surrounded by high mountains. The village was unusually quiet, as if it was not affected by the chaos of the outside world at all.

"This place doesn't seem to be affected." Jiang Yanwan looked around.

"Just because something appears calm on the surface doesn't necessarily mean it's safe," Senior Shi said calmly.

The silence of the village was soon broken, and several children chased and played through the streets. When they saw the stranger, they immediately stopped and looked at him curiously.

"Where are you from?" a little boy asked boldly, his eyes full of confusion and expectation.

Li Changkong smiled slightly: "We are here to protect everyone."

The children looked delighted, and one of them said excitedly: "My dad said that one day brave people will come and defeat the bad guys. You must be those heroes!"

The villagers who were watching also began to gather around and whispered:

"They don't look like bad people."

"Well, I hope they can really help us."

Not far away, a white-haired old man slowly walked over and nodded slightly to everyone: "Welcome to our small village. I am the village chief here. Can you please come to the village hall to rest for a while?"

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to accept the invitation of the village chief. After entering the village hall, the village chief prepared tea for them and filled it for them personally.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Lu Wenjin clasped his fists in thanks.

The village chief said with a kind face, "Over the years, the Black Shadow Gang has been rampant here, and the villagers are suffering. If you really want to help, we are willing to offer all our strength."

Jiang Yanwan replied solemnly: "We will definitely do our best, please rest assured."

Wu Jian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked, "Village Chief, is there anything unusual in this area recently?"

The village chief thought for a moment and replied, "Some strange things did happen in the village a few days ago. Some people heard strange noises at night, but they searched for them to no avail. We suspect that the Black Shadow Gang is plotting something."

"It seems that things are more complicated than we thought." Li Changkong frowned slightly.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, accompanied by the sound of hurried horse hooves and an anxious voice: "The village has been attacked! Go and help!"

Everyone stood up immediately, and Senior Shi said firmly: "Don't panic, we will go and take a look now."

The village chief looked solemn, nodded and said, "Please be careful."

Everyone hurried out of the village hall, and the scene before them made them gasp. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a blazing fire was burning at the other end of the village, while several men in black were wreaking havoc.

Witnessing all this, the villagers accused:

"How dare these villains attack our village!"

"They are so abominable!"

Jiang Yanwan drew her sword and shouted, "We can't just stand by and watch!"

Wu Jian immediately rushed towards the enemy, shouting to the people behind him: "Be careful of the ambush!"

Liu Qing followed closely behind, wielding his sword like a rainbow, and engaged in a fierce battle with the villains. Li Changkong walked side by side with Lu Wenjin to protect the villagers' evacuation route.

The children in the village hid behind the houses, poked their heads out to watch, and whispered in amazement:

"Look, they're beating up the bad guys!"

“Those uncles and aunts are so awesome!”

The battle reached a stalemate, with casualties on both sides. At this moment, the leading black-clad man shouted, "Set fire to this place, so they have nowhere to escape!"

The flames were blazing, smoke and dust were rising, and the whole village was in danger. Wu Jian saw the crisis and shouted loudly: "Put out the fire! Protect the villagers!"

Suddenly, a steady voice sounded, and then a middle-aged man emerged from the thick smoke. He directed everyone to stabilize the front and form a siege.

"We will never let you succeed this time!" the middle-aged man said in a strong voice.
