At this moment, Jiang Yan said to Fairy Furong, Dà Míng, Gāng Qiáng, and Xiǎo Qín with deep anxiety, "It seems we won't be able to shake off the God of War Xing Wutian's pursuit anytime soon. He seems to have realized that I am carrying what he wants—apparently the Heavenly Vault Halberd and the Nine Spirits Divine Shield. Since these two items originally belonged to him, I suppose we have no choice but to return them to him if things get desperate!"
At this, Fairy Furong said, "Junior Brother, you needn't be so pessimistic. We will surely find a way to keep Xing Wutian in check, especially since these two treasures of the Immortal Realm are vital to your cultivation."
Then Dà Míng and Gāng Qiáng chimed in, "Brother Jiang Yan! We've heard that somewhere in Nánzhōu in Huáxià, there is a place called the Gate of Heaven, where the peerless heavenly book *The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong* is concealed. Besides that, there is also a place called Yongqiu Valley, which holds the immortal traces left by his direct disciple, Celestial Master Zhang Liang."
