At the foot of Flame Mountain, tents were pitched as far as the eye could see.

  At noon, most of the warriors were eating lunch, and some people finished their meal and rested in the shade.

  "Hmm, that's the young master of Qinghu Island, Gu Shiyou!" Wu Duan was overjoyed in his heart. He had been staring at the campsite on Qinghu Island and immediately went to meet him quietly. At this moment, Gu Shiyou was holding a long spear, leaning against a low and sturdy tree, with his eyes closed, resting his mind.

  As Wu Duan approached, two masters standing beside Gu Shi immediately cast him a cold glance.

  Ka U Da didn't flinch at all and instead continued forward.

  It is known that the master of Xiaoye Island, Gu Shiyou, has a resting place where no one dares to approach within over ten zhangs, for fear of offending the powerful ones from Qinghu Island.

  "Get out of here." one of the experts growled in a low voice.

  "Island Master." Wu Duan shouted.

  Gu Shiyu opened his eyes, took a faint glance at Wudai, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face: "I seem to not recognize you!"

  Wudang lowered his voice and said: "Shaoye Island Master, I have a big secret to tell you!"

  "What secret?" Gu Shi's heart moved and he walked over.

  Wu Duan smiled and whispered in front of Gu Shiyou: "The secret of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!" Gu Shiyou's eyes narrowed, his gaze locked onto Wu Duan like a cold blade. But Wu Duan just chuckled: "Young Master Shao, I'm just a small fry, now I don't even have a decent martial arts manual, let alone an internal energy manual."

  Gu Shiyou thought for a moment and said: "What kind of military secret book do you want?"

  "The best curved knife!" Udai said, "I have this kind on hand."

  Wudang showed Gu Shiyong the curved knife at his waist.

  "Hooked knife......" Gu Shiyou smiled, "If what you're saying is true, hmm, my guard has a human-level secret book 'Crazy Wind Knife', this secret book contains a matching internal energy heart method."

  Wu Duan was overjoyed in his heart.

  Human-level secret recipe?

  He roamed the world, practicing a secret manual that was an unorthodox internal power technique. As for his knife skills, he had learned by secretly watching others practice and casually learning some moves. His abilities... were considered to be of the lowest level among martial artists. Even a third-rate martial artist with a few farm-style techniques could threaten him.

  "You take me there first, if there really is a Black Fire Spirit Fruit, I'll give you the secret recipe." Gu Shiyou said.

  "In fact, I'm not even sure if there's a Black Fire Spirit Fruit, I don't have 100% confidence." Wu Duan said again, speaking the ugly truth first.

  "You're fooling me!"

  "No, no!" Wu Duan said repeatedly, "I inadvertently saw that the Ji Hongtong leader of the Guiyuan Sect, Teng Qingshan Dujiang, and a woman, the three of them quietly entered a secret place. Moreover, they were extremely careful before entering, looking very mysterious. The three of them didn't go to find the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, but instead entered such a secret place. It's highly likely that it's the location of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit."

  The old friend's face finally looked better.

  "Guiyuanzong..." Gu Shiyou immediately looked at Wudai again, "That secret place, where is it?"

  "Shaoyu Island Master, the secret manual..." Wu Duan continued.

  "Of course I will give it to you." Gu Shiyou hummed, "A secret book, I haven't even put it in my eyes yet. When the time comes, I will naturally give it to you."

  Wudang smiled and said: "Young Master Shao, your status is high, I'm just a small person, you gave me the secret recipe, are you still afraid that I will deceive you?"

  Gu Shiyu hesitated for a moment: "That's fine! Let's go, follow me to the account first... Wait until this afternoon, when we enter the mountain together, you take us over!"

  "Yes, yes." Udian replied.

  "Haha, I, Wudang, have finally obtained a good inner strength technique and a great swordsmanship manual! I can also turn my life around now. That old Wang humiliated me last time, damn it, once my sword skills are mastered, I'll definitely find him to take revenge!" He then obediently entered the barracks on Qinghu Island.

  ……

  In the afternoon, there were four people at the bottom of the canyon. Apart from 'Wu Duan', there was Gu Shiyou, a slightly fat middle-aged man, and an old man with triangular eyes and a bald head. The soldiers of the Heiyuanzong Black Armor Army had been hiding in the grass for the first time, waiting for the lean man to appear. Later, in order not to be exposed, the Black Armor Army soldiers also did not dare to always be there.

  Once discovered by people, Hei Jia Junren is always in the canyon, easy to arouse suspicion.

  So, just pretend to be searching outside.

  "Look, just up there!" Wu Dang pointed upwards.

  "A secret cave, where is it?" The old man with triangular eyes and white hair looked up and jumped onto the cliff wall like an eagle, grabbing a vine to take a closer look. He soon discovered a large hidden cave behind the vines and nodded downwards.

  "Haha, and indeed there is a secret cave, so secretive, it's really possible that it's true."

  Suddenly, a stout middle-aged man carrying a crowbar pointed at several places on the cliff wall and flew into the cave. Gu Shiyou also followed closely behind.

  ******

  Wudai had never been in before, and the four of them could only proceed with caution, first following the fissure down to the ground, then through the mist, to the edge of the lava flow. They didn't dare to recklessly enter the dark and unpredictable tunnel beside them, but instead continued on their way forward.

  Keep moving forward until you reach that lake of magma!

  "Gushing~~" white incandescent lava, with the black boulder in the center of the lake as its core, constantly erupting outward like a fountain. The boiling hot air made all four people standing at the edge of the lava lake sweat profusely.

  That stout middle-aged man looked at the black stone slab with excitement, staring at the 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit', and exclaimed: "Haha, it's Black Fire Spirit Fruit! It's really Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  That bald old man also had a faint cold smile on his face: "Hmph, that Guiyuan Sect has good luck and actually discovered it first! However, this Hei Huo Ling Guo is ours from Qinghu Island." Just then, a voice sounded out "Three seniors, I have something to say." A slightly trembling voice sounded out.

  The three turned their heads and saw that it was indeed Wuduan who had leaked the news.

  "This man doesn't need to stay anymore." The bald old man was already ready to make his move.

  The best way to keep a secret is for the person who knows it to die.

  "Three seniors of Qinghu Island! Previously, I was afraid that you would kill me to silence me. So, I left a trump card." Wu Dang smiled awkwardly, "If I don't make it back alive tonight... then the secret of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit's hiding place will definitely be discovered and spread!"

  The three friends from ancient times all changed their expressions.

  "Spare my life, Your Excellencies! I'm using a petty person's mind to measure a gentleman's belly!" Wu Duan said repeatedly, "Once I leave, this news will absolutely not get out!"

  "Hmph." The bald old man snorted coldly.

  In this day and age, no one is a fool! The bald old man, Gu Shiyou, any of the three of them could easily kill Wudang. But now, they don't dare to. No one knows... what kind of trickery Wudang has secretly employed. Once the news spreads at that time.

  Then they would have been busy for nothing.

  "We people of Qinghu Island will certainly keep our promise." The bald old man said coldly, "However, before the Black Fire Spirit Fruit ripens, you must stay in my Qinghu Island camp."

  "Alright, alright." Wu Duan nodded repeatedly.

  "Master Bo, Master Zu!" Gu Shiyou looked at the Black Fire Spirit Fruit with a hint of fervor in his eyes. "The Guiyuan Sect also knows that the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is here. When the time comes...the people from the Guiyuan Sect will fight us for this Black Fire Spirit Fruit, what should we do?"

  "How dare they!" The white-haired, bald old man snorted, his triangular eyes flashing with cold light. "The small Return to the Origin Sect also dares to compete with my Qinghu Island? If they really don't know their place, I'll directly take drastic measures against them. Snatching the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, even if they die, it's because they're not as strong as others. Three people from the Return to the Origin Sect have died, and yet they still dare to challenge my Qinghu Island?"

  Gu Shiyou and the slightly fat middle-aged man could only nod in response, this time claiming to be led by Gu Shiyou, but in fact, the number one master among these people was Gu Shiyou's Shifu 'Du Jiu'.

  ……

  At this time, Teng Qing Shan, Ji Hong and Guan Lu were climbing down along the big rift, holding onto the connected rattans, sliding downwards quickly.

  Pitch black.

  Wow!

  Three people fell to the ground one after another, smelling the sulfur breath, and stepped into the white fog familiarly.

  "Green Mountain, I see that in a few more days, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit will be almost ripe." Ji Hong said with a smile on his face as he walked, clearly in a good mood.

  "Hmm, carefully get through these few days, and we'll have a chance to get the Black Fire Spirit Fruit." Teng Qing Shan and his group continued to move forward.

  ……

  Gurgling...

  Magma flows slowly, with scorching hot air currents rushing in all directions.

  "Ancestors, let's go back first."

  "Come twice a day from now on." The white-haired old man said, turning around, and the three of them followed Wu Duan along the return path. They had only taken a few steps when they saw the figures of Teng Qing Shan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu appear in their line of sight at the bend ahead. The three people from Qing Hu Island were stunned.

  Teng Qing Shan and the other two were stunned!

  Wudai looked at the people on both sides and was stunned!

  "They actually came in at this time!" Gu Shiyou didn't expect that the other side would also come in at this time.

  The three people on Qinghu Island were surprised, but they had prepared themselves in their hearts.

  Three people from Qingtian Mountain were caught off guard, but they didn't have any mental preparation. In their eyes, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was something in their grasp, but at a critical moment, someone from Qinghu Island actually intervened.

  "The people of Qinghu Island have also come in!" Ji Hong's face changed greatly.

  "This is trouble." Teng Qing's eyebrows furrowed.

  "Haha......" The white-haired old man burst out laughing, "Ji Hong, you guys are quite lucky! You actually discovered this place too. However...this place, Qing Hu Island has already found it over half a month ago. First come first served, this Black Fire Spirit Fruit should belong to Qing Hu Island!"

  An old friend, a stout middle-aged man, stood on either side of the bald-headed elder.

  "Du Laojiu!" Ji Hong shouted in anger, "You entered half a month ago? I'm asking you, how did you get down that chasm which is over a hundred zhang deep?"

  The bald old man was taken aback, they came down from that wisteria!

  "Du Laojiu, you're lying without even batting an eye! That Fu Man was written by our people!" Ji Hong's voice was loud as he stared at the bald old man. Wu Dang watched the two arguing and thought to himself: "This Fu Man was clearly written by someone else, how could your Qing Hu Island people possibly have entered before the Gui Yuan Sect? You're lying, and you've been exposed in an instant!"

  The old man's face suddenly turned ugly.

  "Tengman is our people's first comer, of course, I am the one who belongs to the Yuanzong." Ji Hong said coldly, "You just said it yourself, first come first served!"
