"Ahead, how can you ...... ahead," Qing Kun looked up nonchalantly.

But he was also stunned. The other disciples also looked up one after another, but they were also surprised to find that the situation ahead seemed to be different from the one depicted on the map.

They immediately looked down at the map. That's right, they read that right. The map is inconsistent with the route in front of you.

In front of them was a fork in the road that led to two places. The gorge is divided into two parts, each with no end in sight. On their map, however, there was no fork in the road, just a long straight line.

"How can this be so ......"

Suddenly, the crowd muttered quietly. The uneasiness quickly spreads, and in the face of sudden accidents, all of them lose their opinions.

Seeing this, Qing Kun also felt very anxious, but he also knew that everyone behind him was still waiting for his command. In this case, he must not mess with himself.

He looked back at the way he had come. The dim mountain stream is also covered by layers of paths. Midnight is approaching, and even if they choose to return now, it will be very dangerous.

Then, all he could choose was to move on and give it a go.

But which side is the way to go, and if they are wrong, what ...... awaits them?

Qing Kun understood his disciples' fears, so he forced himself to keep himself calm and walked to the front alone, carefully surveying the ground and every bit of the surrounding situation.

The disciples stood behind, looking at him worriedly.

Qing Kun held back his worries, and his movements didn't seem to be nervous at all. He scanned the ground inch by inch, trying to find bits and pieces of clues.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

On the dim ground, he saw something that was shining!

Overjoyed, Qing Kun walked forward quickly, and then found that lying among the grass was a broken knife.

The disciples behind also let out a burst of exclamation. The rusty knife was like a signpost from heaven to guide them to the right path over there.

Qing Kun's restless heart finally felt a little relieved. He turned around, carefully stepped on the weeds, and returned to his disciples.

"That's the way it should go, that's great. A disciple said happily.

Qing Kun smiled and nodded. But he soon looked at the knife again, lost in thought.

The disciple in front saw Qing Kun's hesitation, so he said solemnly: "However, just with this knife, I'm afraid the evidence is still insufficient......

When the disciples in the back heard him say this, some of them suddenly became serious. Yes, who can say that this knife must represent the hiding place of the Nine Shadows? Maybe it was left here by some knight in his early years, or some other situation - in short, it is very risky to draw such a hasty conclusion.

However, just as everyone was hesitating, suddenly, a disciple let out an exclamation from behind.

Then the spirit of the crowd was drawn again. I saw those disciples stretching out their fingers and motioning for everyone to look at the sky in the distance ahead.

Looking back, Qing Kun and his disciples were surprised to find that on the fork in the road where the broken knife was found, black smoke was rising from the sky in the distance.

"There's a situation over there. A disciple approached Qingkun and said urgently.

Of course Qingkun saw it. He looked down at the broken knife again, and pondered inwardly for a moment. Finally, he made a decision.

"Everyone follow me, and we will go this way!" he commanded suddenly, without a beak.

Seeing that Qingkun finally stopped hesitating, the disciples were also encouraged. They immediately straightened up and replied loudly:

"Yes!"

............

And in the depths of the fork canyon, a faint aura of danger is waiting for those who are unaware of the danger.

In the middle of the road, a bonfire was blatantly placed, and the smoke was faintly billowing from it. The smell of burnt plants pervades the air, creating an invisible sense of oppression with the silence around them.

Suddenly, not far away, there was the sound of people's footsteps advancing.

"It's getting closer and closer to the smoke. Qing Kun walked in the front, looking around with awe-inspiring eyes.

When some of the disciples arrived here, they gradually felt real fear. What they are about to face, but it is different from the real knife and gun fight of daily exercise, and if they are not careful, what awaits them is death.

The team was getting slower and slower, and Qingkun sensed that something was wrong, so he turned around and told everyone: "Don't panic." Keep in mind your daily routine, and don't mess with yourself......"

And not far from them, a figure hidden in the shadows, hearing their unbridled conversation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"I will do my best to keep you safe. Our goal has always been to triumph......"

However, in an instant, before Qing Kun could finish his teachings, the mechanisms hidden around suddenly turned and all opened!

"Ah, be careful!!"

Qing Kun was experienced after all, and at the same moment, he sensed the danger around him, and immediately waved the halberd in his hand, stepped forward, and blocked in front of everyone!
