Three days later, the disciples of the Xuannu Sect, led by Han Xingyu, arrived at the Jiuqu Gorge at the junction of the Qianhu Kingdom and the Qingping Kingdom.

Qingping Kingdom is the country where the headquarters of the Xuannu Gate is located, regardless of area and population, it is much more than the Qianhu Country, and there are hundreds of large and small sects in the country combined.

Unlike the Ziyan Sect, which is a monopoly in the Qianhu Kingdom, although the Qingping Kingdom is also respected by the Sanpin Sect, it is the Xuannu Sect and the Dragon and Tiger Palace, two major Sanpin sects.

Xuannumen and Dragon Tiger Palace, one south and one north, each occupy half of the population and land of Qingping Kingdom, and more than eighty percent of the cultivation resources are also under the control of the two major sects.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

Since the establishment of the Xuannu Gate and the Dragon and Tiger Palace, they are natural opponents, and the two major sects want to overpower each other and be the only king of the Qingping Kingdom, but due to the similar strength, no one can suppress anyone for thousands of years, and has maintained a balanced situation of fighting but not breaking.

However, with the appointment of Yang Ruojun, the new head of the Xuannu Gate, this situation has changed.

Yang Ruojun has a strong and paranoid temperament, and there is no room for sand in her eyes, after she became the master of the Xuannu Sect, she took a tough attitude towards the Dragon and Tiger Palace, and the battle between the disciples of the two sects has become public and more intense.

In order to gain an advantage in the battle between the two sects, the Xuannu Sect and the Dragon and Tiger Palace each attracted some allies to strengthen their prestige, during which there were many marriages between the Xuannu Sect and the Ziyan Sect, just to win over the Ziyan Sect, a three-grade sect.

This time, the Xuannu Sect asked the personal disciple Zhuge Lian to marry Zu Yu, the personal disciple of the Ziyan Sect, the purpose was to further strengthen the relationship between the two major sects, but he didn't want Han Xingyu to go to the Ziyan Sect this time, not only did the marriage not succeed, but witnessed the fall of the Ziyan Sect.

With the Purple Flame Sect no longer existing, the Xuannu Sect would lose a strong ally, and Han Xingyu could imagine that if the Dragon and Tiger Palace learned of this news, it would inevitably gloat, and then take the opportunity to make some moves that were unfavorable to the Xuannu Sect.

Therefore, after participating in the celebration ceremony of the headquarters of the Bitao Martial Arts Academy moving to Ziyan City, Han Xingyu, who was anxious, took Zhuge Lian and other Xuannu disciples and hurried back to Xuannumen, preparing to discuss countermeasures with the high-level Xuannumen.

Jiuqu Gorge, which lies between the country of Qianhu and the country of Qingping, is a large canyon that stretches for thousands of miles, and is named because of the twists and turns of the canyon.

The average depth of Jiuqu Gorge is nearly a thousand meters, the widest part is hundreds of miles, and the narrowest part is nearly 100 zhang, even if it is a strong person at the level of the sky, it cannot be directly skimmed.

Moreover, at the bottom of this Jiuqu Gorge, there are still many fierce spirit beasts active, if a warrior tries to use the rattan on the gorge wall to go down to the bottom and then climb to the other side, it is very likely to be attacked by the spirit beast and fall at the bottom of the canyon.

But there is always a way.

Some of the sects near the Jiuqu Gorge erected a chain bridge in the narrow part of the Jiuqu Gorge for the passage of warriors between the two countries, and charged a certain amount of yuan stone as a toll.

Since several narrow places in Jiuqu Gorge are located in the territory controlled by the Dragon and Tiger Palace, and the several sects that erected the chain bridge are also the only ones who look forward to the Dragon and Tiger Palace, if the disciples of the Xuannu Sect go to the Qianhu Country through the chain bridge, they will be deliberately troubled by the sect disciples guarding the chain bridge, and they need to pay more yuan stones than other martial artists.

In this regard, although the Xuannu Sect is angry, there is nothing to be done, unless one day the Xuannu Sect can suppress the Dragon and Tiger Palace and obtain control of the chain bridge, in order to get rid of this dilemma of being controlled by others.

"In front of you is the chain bridge of the Seven Star Village! You all remember that no matter how difficult the disciples of the Seven Star Village guarding the chain bridge are, you must endure it for the time being! The chain bridge has the high-level of the Dragon and Tiger Palace, and if there is a conflict, we will not be able to get any benefits!"

Han Xingyu and the others galloped for hundreds of miles along the edge of the Jiuqu Gorge, and after seeing an iron bridge and rope appearing in front of them, they said to Zhuge Lian and the others beside them.

Qixingzhai is a four-grade sect in the territory of Qingping Kingdom, and it is also a hardcore ally of the Dragon and Tiger Palace, and the iron chain bridge they erected is the nearest shortcut for the disciples of the Xuannu Sect, and Han Xingyu and the others went to Ziyan City this time, and they passed through here.

However, guarding this chain bridge, in addition to the disciples of Qixingzhai, there are also an elder and two deacons from the Dragon and Tiger Palace who are sitting here, and their strength is far superior to Han Xingyu and others, so Han Xingyu specially told Zhuge Lian and others to swallow their anger even if they are troubled, so as not to affect major events.

Zhuge Lian and the others also knew that now their first task was to return to the Xuannu Gate and report to the door master about the great changes that had occurred in Ziyan City, so as to discuss countermeasures, if the road was delayed by other things, the Xuannu Gate might be destroyed, so after listening to Han Xingyu's words, they all nodded to show that they understood.

In front of the chain bridge of Qixingzhai, there are already many warriors from the Qianhu Kingdom and the Qingping Kingdom waiting to pass at this moment.

Eight disciples of Qixingzhai and two deacons of the Dragon and Tiger Palace were stationed at both ends of the iron bridge to collect yuan stones from the warriors who crossed the bridge.

In a tall stone house on the side of Qingping Kingdom, there lived an elder stationed here from the Dragon and Tiger Palace, who usually meditated in the stone house, and only showed up when he encountered a problem that the two deacons of the Dragon and Tiger Palace could not solve.

Han Xingyu and the others dismounted in front of the chain bridge, and then led the wind horse to line up behind a team of warriors, waiting patiently.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a green shirt, with a thin figure and an ordinary appearance, walked out of the woods in the distance, and after glancing at Han Xingyu and the others with a smile, he also lined up behind the line that was ready to cross the bridge.

The man in the prime of life is a desolate level consummation martial artist, and his strength is comparable to Zhuge Lian, his martial arts aura is full of sharpness and attack, and he is obviously practicing the golden system martial arts.

The middle-aged man was not wearing the clothes of a certain sect gang, he should be a loose cultivator, and his cultivation of the desolate consummation realm was also relatively prominent among the martial artists in the queue, so it attracted the attention of some martial artists at the scene, and some people took the initiative to talk to him.

"Brother, in Xia Huren, he is a loose cultivator in Qingping Kingdom, dare to ask the elder brother's surname?"

In front of the middle-aged man was a burly man who was slightly older than him, and he also possessed the Waste-level Perfection Realm.

The burly man, dressed in shabby linen clothes, glanced back at the man in his prime, then grinned and chatted with the man.

Seeing that the burly man looked honest, obviously a person with no scheming, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "In the next ...... The surname is Bai Fang, from the country of Thousand Lakes. Zaixia, like Brother Hu, is also a casual cultivator ......"

"It turned out to be Brother Bai! Fortunately, I will be lucky! Brother Bai, do you have something to do when you go to Qingping Kingdom? Although I, Hu Ren, am a casual cultivator, I still have a lot of friends in Qingping Kingdom, if Brother Bai has anything difficult to solve, you can tell me, maybe I can help you......"

The burly man named Hu Ren was a self-acquaintance, and after talking to the middle-aged man, he chatted enthusiastically.

The middle-aged man named Bai Fang always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't think Hu Ren was trembling too much, and he had questions and answers, and the two quickly became acquainted.
