A year and a half before Wang Beiran and Han Chao met today, on New Year's Day in 2012.

The weather in the north is a little cold, the sky is drifting with light snowflakes, the shops on the roadside are full of festive festivities, a thin middle-aged man with a gray fur hat with two hands in a yellow coat, hurriedly walked into an alley, there is a wooden door in the depths of the alley, the wooden door is quite old, there are moss marks attached to the threshold. The middle-aged man did not hesitate, pushed the door and walked in, the brazier was burning in the house, as soon as he entered the door, the middle-aged man took off his coat, put his hand on the brazier, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Everyone, they are all here." ”

At first glance, this is just a plain house, but at this time, if anyone sees who this middle-aged man is talking about, their jaws will fall in surprise, and around the brazier, there are five people sitting in turn, they are: jade-faced Confucian Wang Beiran, Heaven Grabbing Holy Hand Ye Zhiqiu, Purple Flame Rose Chi Piaopiao, Dead Wood Fengchun Bai Lu Xing, and Dark Night Killing God King Shaolong.

These five people are all well-known figures in the circle of world strangers, representing the top combat power of a single person on the earth, on weekdays, no one knows that these five people will intersect, and even if there is, it is at some meetings involving different interest groups, when any two of them attend at the same time, they will speak ill of each other, yes, they belong to different interest groups, and they have a competitive relationship with each other.

And now, these five famous characters sat around a brazier in a very harmonious manner, and after seeing the middle-aged man come in, they all quickly stood up, and after hearing the middle-aged man's words, they all responded politely and said yes, only then did they notice that there was a main seat in the middle of the seat of these five people.

This middle-aged man is not ambiguous, after taking off his yellow coat, he nodded to the five people in front of him and said hello, and sat on the empty main seat with a big grin, if anyone in the outside world knows that such a bland middle-aged man actually sits in the main seat between these five people, he will definitely be surprised, because this person looks inconspicuous and has no reputation in the special world, he is Wang Zhengjun.

After Wang Zhengjun sat down, there was silence in the room, and everyone did not speak, only the sound of carbon beeping and peeling in the brazier could be heard. In the end, Wang Beiran couldn't help it.

"Big brother, have you borrowed something?"

Wang Zhengjun glanced at Wang Beiran and replied. Then silence returned to the room.

This time, Chi Piaopiao didn't hold his breath, and said: "What are you writing here one by one? Haven't we also practiced hard for more than half a year today? Why, are you still nervous like a child?"

After Chi Piaopiao finished speaking, Wang Shaolong smiled, Wang Shaolong was born in the military, and his face had the fortitude and calmness of a soldier, "It's not so nervous, but it's more or less a bit of a loss, after all, I don't know if there is anyone who has come after we have done this, but there is no one before." ”

"But the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent. Ye Zhiqiu is a sturdy old man, and he feels like he has a sharp spirit in a tunic suit.

Bai Luxing didn't speak from beginning to end, looking at the brazier and not knowing what he was thinking.

When outsiders heard the conversation of these people in front of them, they must have been confused about the situation, they would only feel that the atmosphere was a little dignified, and of course they would be surprised, what could make the five masters of the special world so cautious?

In fact, it was the day before Operation Atlantic began.

Two years ago, after Wang Zhengjun and Wang Beiran jointly deduced the truth that the earth was sealed, the two made up their minds to find out who was behind the control of the cleaners and unravel the truth that the earth was sealed.

Over the next two years, Wang Zhengjun and Wang Beiran began to search for various historical sources, trying to find clues related to the sweepers in history and other clues related to the earth's seal.

In the end, it was really found by Wang Zhengjun, according to Wang Zhengjun to Wang Beiran, according to his own investigation, it was found that in fact, the Wentian faction has a relationship with the earth seal, and the specific details of the origin are unknown, but a inheritance holy relic in the Wentian faction may have a great relationship with the earth seal, according to his own family prophecy, the Tianmen key will show the location of the heavenly gate under the activation of the balanced power of the five elements, and the heavenly gate is where the seal is!

Getting this clue, Wang Zhengjun and Wang Beiran were both very excited, Wang Beiran, who was already the master of the Seven Xuan Pavilion, used his power to secretly begin to approach many of the world's top and seemingly wise and conscientious special people, after layers of screening, those who meet the requirements will be introduced to Wang Zhengjun, and Wang Zhengjun will do some very obscure tests on these people and make further screening.

In the end, after very careful planning, they chose four people from the organization that was in competition with the Seven Xuan Pavilion and was also in competition with each other. On the one hand, these four people were impressed by Wang Zhengjun's miraculous special ability, and on the other hand, they were also impressed by Wang Zhengjun's inference about the changes in the world......

After these foreshadowings, when Wang Zhengjun told them that he had fought with the mysterious sweeper and speculated on the reality of the earth being sealed, although Wang Shaolong and the others were shocked in their hearts, they all chose to believe that Wang Beiran and Wang Zhengjun had also gathered the five special beings of the power of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

After finding the four people who met the requirements, Wang Zhengjun systematically taught them how to use his special abilities, Wang Beiran and Wang Shaolong began systematic training, and Wang Zhengjun set off to the Wentian Sect to borrow the inheritance relics of the Wentian Sect.

On New Year's Day in 2012, Wang Zhengjun borrowed the inheritance holy relics of the Wentian faction, and Wang Beiran, Ye Zhiqiu, Chi Piaopiao, Bai Luxing, and Wang Shaolong converged in the private house where they gathered.

According to their plan, since the Heavenly Gate is the key to sealing the earth, as long as they find the sealing place and find a way to break the seal, they can break the curse that has shrouded the world for countless years.

Of course, they were too naïve.
