Wugu City has a flat and vast territory, with crisscrossing roads and fertile soil and water. It is a major grain-producing city in Kuzhou.

Weishan and Wugucheng are separated by dozens of miles and are composed of six hills. The Four Seasons Fort is located on the highest mountain.

Although it is said to be the tallest, it is actually only a little over 100 feet tall. The houses are built against the mountain, and a staircase leads directly to the foot of the mountain.

Two disciples from Sijibao were on guard duty at the entrance of the stairs. They stood upright and looked straight away, quite imposing.

"Who is coming?"

"Stop quickly!"

Seeing a young man wearing black clothes coming on horseback, the two disciples spoke out one after another, showing great confidence.

The person who came was none other than Gu Xuan.

Since Nangong Shang and others were riding horses, Gu Xuan estimated that he could catch up with them. Since entering Wugu City, he ordered the spirit crane to fly along the official road.

After arriving at Wugu City, Gu Xuan simply bought a horse, but he didn't meet them along the way.

Gu Xuan thought they had arrived at Four Seasons Castle, so he went straight to Weishan.

Approaching the entrance of the stairs, Gu Xuan slowed down his horse, and when he pinched the horse's belly, the horse stopped on its own.

The two disciples on duty were dressed in gray attire and carried knives at their waists. They were both very discerning. Seeing the ancient mysterious weapon and its majestic appearance and graceful demeanor, they guessed that it had a serious background, so they said nothing to avoid offending others.

Gu Xuan glanced around and saw no other horses, so he looked at the two disciples: "I, Ximen Shu, can Protector Xiao be in the castle?"

Protector Xiao's full name is Ximen Xiao, who is the father of Daomiao Ximen Xiang.

The two disciples had obviously heard of Ximen Shu's name, and they couldn't help but look solemn, secretly thinking they were lucky.

The thin disciple on the left quickly said respectfully: "Replying to the master, Protector Xiao and Lord Qin are discussing matters in the fort."

"Please lead the way."

Gu Xuan turned over and dismounted, and his thin disciple stepped forward and took the horse away.

Another disciple said: "Please ask the master to follow me up the mountain."

The two of them stepped onto the stone steps one after another. Gu Xuan looked around and asked, "Has anyone else come recently?"

The leading disciple said: "Yes, there are some. They are all acquaintances who came from Wugu City to transport ingredients."

Gu Xuan knew that Nangong Shang and the others had not arrived yet, so he changed the subject: "I heard that Guibao's strength is one of the best in the Kuangzhou martial arts world."

The leading disciple chuckled, with a hint of arrogance in his voice: "Shu Gao is ridiculous. In addition to Protector Xiao coming from the Ximen family, Lord Qin was once a disciple of Lingmiao Sect Lengyue Zhenren."

Gu Xuan was a little surprised: "It turns out that Guibao has a connection with Daozong and the aristocratic family. No wonder..."

Before leaving Ximen Villa, Ximen Xiang briefly mentioned his father's identity and did not reveal much.

After communicating with Chen Guang on the road, Gu Xuan only knew that Lord Qin and the two protectors had reached the late stage of True Strength Realm.

Upon hearing the origin of Lord Qin, Gu Xuan finally understood why Ximen Xiao had violent blood pills and middle-grade strength nourishing pills.

Relying on several middle-grade strength-building pills provided by Ximen Xiao, Ximen Xiang was able to clear the Chongmai during the trial at Lingshan.

After passing a few thoughts secretly, Gu Xuan asked: "I wonder where the other protector of your castle comes from?"

The disciple who led the way said: "Keeper Tian is actually the wife of the fort master. Lord Qin built the fort here because he hit it off with Protector Tian and was acquainted with Protector Xiao."

…

Gu Xuan was sitting alone in the living room of Four Seasons Castle, sipping spiritual tea leisurely. There were two pretty maids standing at the door.

Gu Xuan didn't have to wait too long, and three middle-aged men came together.

The master of Qin Castle is named Qin Huai. He is wearing a white robe with mid-sleeves, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a long beard. He is extraordinary.

Protector Tian's name is Tian Ying. She is dressed in white, has a slender figure, and her skin is like snow, and her charm is still there.

Ximen Xiao is tall and burly, wearing a blue and white robe. Although he has a full beard, his facial features are quite outstanding.

After some polite greetings, a maid offered spiritual tea.

Ximen Xiao said with a smile: "I received a letter from Xiang'er before and learned that Master Shu has great fighting power and a superb swordsmanship that can overwhelm the chief Taozi of the Nangong family. Afterwards, I left the village to practice with Nangong Shang."

With a smile on his face, Gu Xuan briefly explained the existence of Di Hong and others, and finally glanced at Qin Huai.

"Brothers Chen Guang and Tuyao actually came to this castle..."

Qin Huai whispered, stroked his long beard with his hand, his eyes flashed, and then he sent a message to Ximen Xiao.

Ximen Xiaolue pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Xuan: "There is a set of Bahuang Sword Formation in this castle. Only three of us can join forces to fight against it. Master Shu, would you be interested in seeing it?"

"I would like to learn from you."

Gu Xuan saw Qin Huai's voice transmission move. He had never used the two group battle sword moves of the Thirteen Wu Sword Techniques, so it was just a good time to practice.

"Okay!" Qin Huai knew Ximen Xiao's intention and smiled brightly, "Sister Ying, please go and get ready."

…

The school grounds of Four Seasons Castle are quite spacious, with sixteen Eight Desolate Swordsmen

, standing proudly in eight directions.

The swordsmen are composed of eight pairs of young men and women, each holding a mother-child sword, all of whom are at the early stage of the true power realm.

Male swordsmen are uniformly dressed in black uniforms, and female swordsmen are in white uniforms.

Sixteen people stood faintly in a Bagua pattern, with a pair of male and female swordsmen at each position.

"The Bahuang Sword Formation was created by a powerful warrior and adapted from the Eight Diagrams Yili. It is profound, profound and unpredictable." Qin Huai stretched out his hand and said, "I would like to ask an expert to give me some advice."

Gu Xuan nodded, jumped up, landed among the sixteen swordsmen, drew out the Yin Liu Sword, and pointed diagonally at the ground.

"Do it!"

Without any nonsense, the male and female swordsmen from the four directions of east, west, south and north rose up one after another and attacked Gu Xuan from the air, waving the mother sword uncertainly.

Eight swordsmen from the other four directions rushed out at the same time and attacked Gu Xuan from the ground.

At the beginning, a dragnet was set up to cover all directions, and the sixteen mother swords shone with cold light, eye-catching.

Gu Xuan did not dare to neglect, and used two moves of group combat swordsmanship.

"Swords across the sea" is a group sword move on the ground. The body tilts greatly, shakes left and right, and moves around. The soft sword is like a dragon rising into the sea, swaying freely.

"Sword over the clouds" is a group battle in the air. This move has its own body skills. It flips repeatedly, the body rolls like thunder clouds, the sword edge flashes like lightning, and it is extremely fast.

But Gu Xuan's figure was completely covered by the Bahuang Swordsman, and all he could hear was the continuous and intensive sound of weapons clashing.

Qin Huai and the two guardians paid attention to the battle situation and communicated through messages.

"Change of formation!"

Seeing that Gu Xuan only used two sword skills, a male swordsman in the main formation gave a solemn shout.

The sixteen swordsmen pulled out the child swords from the hilts of the mother swords, and the sixteen handles turned into thirty-two handles, each holding two swords.

The style of the sword array is also completely different. It is no longer the swordsmen flying in the air to attack from the east, west, south and north directions.

Instead, it is based on the Eight Diagrams Yili and is freely developed without traces, fully revealing the essence of the Bahuang Sword Formation.

Although he only used group combat sword moves, Gu Xuan was not at ease. Only by combining sword skills with phantom skills could he remain invincible.

The style of the sword array has changed, and Gu Xuan has also adapted to the situation. He is no longer limited to group battle sword techniques, and the Ziwu sword spectrum is at his fingertips.

One of the moves, "Sword Follows the Wind", has its own movement technique. The body is like the breeze, changing in many ways, sometimes elegant, sometimes fast, sometimes violent.
