The know-it-all cleared his throat, "As far as I know, this token is related to an organization called Shadow Gate, which specializes in some shady activities."

"Shadow Gate?" Huo Jilin frowned.

"Yes, it is said that their influence is spread all over the place and is extremely mysterious." The know-it-all continued.

Hu Bayi asked, "Do you know where their headquarters is?"

The know-it-all shook his head, "I don't know about that, they act very secretly."

After sending the know-it-all away, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Anyway, we finally have some clues." The mysterious man said.

"Well, but the next investigation may be more difficult." Huo Jilin said.

Just then, a disciple came to report.

"Master, there is a man claiming to be a messenger from the Shadow Gate, who wants to see you."

Huo Jilin's heart trembled, "Bring him in."

The messenger walked into the hall and said expressionlessly: "Huo Jilin, our master asked me to bring you a message. As long as you stop interfering in our affairs, we will forgive you. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Wang Kaixuan shouted angrily: "You evil thieves, you have committed so many crimes, and you dare to threaten us!"

The messenger sneered, "This is your last chance."

Huo Jilin said: "Go back and tell your master that our Brilliant Tower will never back down, and justice will surely defeat evil!"

The messenger snorted and turned away.

"Master, what should we do?" A disciple asked worriedly.

Huo Jilin looked determined, "Don't be afraid, we have come to this point, and we must fight them to the end no matter what!"

Hu Bayi said, "That's right, we will fight side by side!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "We will live and die with the Brilliant Building!"

Three days later, the sky was covered with haze, as if foreshadowing the coming of a shocking war.

Huo Jilin, the tall and majestic owner of the Brilliant Building, led Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others, marching towards the place of the decisive battle with firm steps.

Huo Jilin was wearing a black long gown with fluttering sleeves and a jeweled belt around his waist, which made him more majestic.

His eyes were deep and firm, revealing a fearless courage and determination.

Hu Bayi followed closely behind him, wearing a brown leather jacket and a wide-brimmed hat, holding the Luoyang shovel that had been with him for many years in his hand, with a serious and focused expression.

Wang Kaixuan was wearing loose sportswear and carrying a huge backpack filled with all kinds of strange tools and weapons. His face was full of tension and excitement.

"Old Hu, this is really a tough battle!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help saying as he walked.

Hu Bayi looked back at him and said in a deep voice: "Fatty, don't talk too much. We will definitely win if we follow Master Huo."

Wang Kaixuan curled his lips and muttered: "I'm not sure."

Huo Jilin stopped, turned around, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone, the Shadow Gate has done many evil things. Today's battle is about justice and peace. We must go all out!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

Finally, they came to the place of the decisive battle.

The people of the Shadow Gate had already been ready for battle, led by a man with a sinister face, his eyes flashing with cunning and cruel light.

"Huo Jilin, today is your death day!" The leader of the Shadow Gate sneered.

Huo Jilin showed no fear and responded, "It is still unknown who will win!"

Before he finished speaking, the two sides rushed towards each other like a tide. In an instant, the sound of shouting and fighting and the sound of weapons intertwined.

Hu Bayi flexibly shuttled among the crowd, and the Luoyang shovel in his hand flew up and down. Every swing brought a gust of wind and repelled the enemy.

Wang Kaixuan relied on his own strength and the tools in his backpack to fight fiercely with the enemy.

However, the strength of the Shadow Gate should not be underestimated. Gradually, Huo Jilin's side fell into trouble.

Hu Bayi already had several wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to resist the enemy's attack.

Wang Kaixuan was also panting and gradually running out of strength.

Huo Jilin was anxious. He knew that if this continued, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to them.

At this moment, a powerful force surged in his heart, and this force surged in his body, as if it was about to break out of his body.

"This is..." Huo Jilin was shocked, and then he realized that this was the mysterious power he had been hiding.

"In this case, let me show you my true strength!" Huo Jilin shouted, and his whole body radiated a dazzling light.

The people of the Shadow Gate were blinded by the light and stopped attacking.Huo Jilin formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A powerful energy gushed out from his hands, turning into rays of light and shooting towards the people of the Shadow Gate.

"Ah!" The people of the Shadow Gate screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

The leader of the Shadow Gate saw this and his face changed drastically. He didn't expect Huo Jilin to have such a powerful back-up.

"Huo Jilin, don't be complacent!" He roared and rushed towards Huo Jilin.

Huo Jilin's eyes were stern and he faced the leader of the Shadow Gate.

The two started a thrilling duel, with fists and palms intertwined, and the air around them seemed to be torn apart.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan watched nervously from the side, secretly cheering for Huo Jilin in their hearts.

"The host will definitely win!" Hu Bayi clenched the Luoyang shovel in his hand.

Wang Kaixuan also shouted: "Come on, Master Huo!"

After a fierce battle, Huo Jilin finally found the weakness of the leader of the Shadow Gate. He punched hard and hit the opponent in the chest.

The leader of the Shadow Gate vomited blood, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

"The leader is defeated!" The people of the Shadow Gate were immediately confused and fled in all directions.

Huo Jilin looked at their backs as they left and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over." He murmured to himself.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came forward, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

"Master Huo, you are so awesome!" Wang Kaixuan said excitedly.

Huo Jilin smiled slightly and said: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

At this time, the haze in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on them, as if cheering for their victory.

Huo!

Huo Jilin and others were immersed in the joy of victory, and suddenly a subordinate ran over in a hurry.

"Master, it's bad! The Lingshan Cup is missing!"

Huo Jilin frowned, "What?"

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

"Look carefully to see if they got lost on the battlefield." Huo Jilin said calmly.

Everyone looked around, but after a while, another subordinate came running, "Master, we found the trace of the Lingshan Cup, he...he ran to the west!"

Huo Jilin's face darkened, "Why did he run away suddenly?"
